Fears of humanitarian catastrophe if Israel attacks Rafah

Israel is facing growing international warnings over its planned offensive in Rafah in southern Gaza, where over a million civilians have sought refuge.

Also on the programme: After Vladimir Putin’s first interview with a Western media outlet since the invasion of Ukraine, we ask a Russian journalist what she makes of it; and on International Women in Science Day we hear from world-leading computer scientist Dr Anne-Marie Imafidon.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss all this and more are Gwen Hines, Chief Executive Officer of the charity Save the Children UK and Rami Khouri, a journalist, author and Distinguished Fellow at the American University of Beirut.
