Israel has given Hamas a week to agree to the current proposal for a ceasefire and release of hostages in Gaza - or it will begin its offensive in Rafah, Egyptian mediators say.

Also in this edition - following another week of protests at universities across the US over the war in Gaza, there are positive examples of university students and the administration reaching an agreement. We also discuss France's proposed ban on personal devices for children under 11.

Our presenter Julian Worricker is joined by Jill Rutter, senior fellow of the Institute for Government think-tank here in the UK and Eugene Rogan, Professor of Middle Eastern History at St Antony's College, University of Oxford.
