US and Israel withdraw from Gaza ceasefire talks

As hunger in Gaza worsens, American and European attitudes to the situation there appear to be diverging. The US and Israel have pulled out of ceasefire talks, blaming Hamas for a failure to reach an agreement.

Meanwhile, President Macron has announced that France will recognise Palestinian statehood, a strong diplomatic rebuke to Israel. We'll explore whether that is likely to make any difference to events on the ground.

We'll also have more from Haiti, looking at the deteriorating humanitarian situation there.
