Senior officials from some 40 countries are gathering in Jeddah to discuss peace in Ukraine. China will be attending but Russia has not been sent an invitation.

Also on the programme: York gets a rabbi for the first time in 800 years, and a collective of Somali female artists are making waves at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss all this and more is Nigar Goksel in Istanbul, Turkey project director for the International Crisis Group- an independent conflict prevention organization, and George Parker, political editor of the Financial Times newspaper.
