United States and Saudi Arabia sign big commercial deals

President Trump and Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman, have signed commercial agreements worth more than six hundred billion dollars which includes an arms deal of $142 billion dollars. President Trump is due to arrive in Qatar today as he continues his three day tour to the region.

President Trump has also announced the lifting of all US sanctions against Syria. It comes after Bashar al Assad was overthrown in December, following decades of authoritarian rule by the Assad family.

And officials in Gaza say at least 28 people have been killed and many wounded in an Israeli airstrike on the European Hospital in Khan Younis. The rockets landed in the car park where parents had been asked to gather to prepare for the evacuation of their sick children from Gaza. The israelis say they were targetting Hamas. We have a report by our special correspondent Fergal Keane.
