US vetos resolution for Gaza ceasefire

The US has once again vetoed a draft resolution at the UN Security Council that would have demanded an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages. It comes as the UN’s humanitarian office warns that the last remaining lifelines for civilians are collapsing in Gaza City as Israel expands its military offensive. We get the view of a Palestinian diplomat.

The US President, Donald Trump, has suggested some TV networks should have their licences 'taken away' as he backed America's broadcast regulator in a row over the suspension of ABC host Jimmy Kimmel. We hear from a US lawmaker.

And we take a look at Intervision, Russia's version of the Eurovision Song Contest. It opens this weekend with 23 countries from Qatar to Cuba taking part.
