Former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan has been sentenced to 10 years in jail.

Former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan has been sentenced to 10 years in jail, in a case in which he was charged with leaking state secrets. We give an explainer on the former cricket star turned politician's career, and speak to BBC Urdu's Saher Baloch, who is in Islamabad.

The BBC's Foreign correspondent Bethany Bell joins the programme from Paris on day two of the French farmers' protest. We hear voice messages from French farmers on why they're demonstrating.

We've been speaking to people across Gaza, Israel, and the occupied West Bank to follow their stories on how the war is affecting their lives. One of these people is Layan - a 35 year old woman from Gaza - and a mother of two children. We hear a conversation between Layan and her two daughters Sama and Elva, who have now managed to escape Gaza and cross the border to Egypt together.

BBC World Service Political Correspondent Rob Watson gives an update on the political situation in Northern Ireland, as the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) has endorsed a deal to restore power sharing after a 23-month absence.
