US vetoes Gaza ceasefire resolution

As the US blocks a UN resolution calling for a truce in Gaza, we hear from a doctor in Gaza with Médecins Sans Frontières who calls the humanitarian situation ‘the catastrophe of the century’.

Also on the programme: After Republicans block an aid package to Ukraine, Kyiv warns that failure to secure more US assistance would mean a “very high possibility” that the war will be lost.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss all this and more are Kathy Gannon, former Pakistan and Afghanistan correspondent for the Associated Press and Steve Erlanger, chief diplomatic correspondent for the New York Times in Europe.
