Gulf states urge Trump to help achieve Gaza ceasefire

There's still no sign of a ceasefire in Gaza, with Gulf states urging Donald Trump to help secure a lasting peace deal. On Saturday, medical staff at Nasser hospital in Gaza said 24 people were killed near an aid site. According to the UN, there have been nearly 800 deaths near aid points since May. We hear from a minister from one of the Gulf states, the United Arab Emirates, who believes peace in the region is still possible.

Also in the programme: 30 years since the Srebrenica genocide, where over 8,000 Muslim men and boys were massacred, our correspondent Guy Delauney reports from Bosnia; and we hear about the Wimbledon men’s singles final from Tennis Weekly podcast co-host Chris Kneebone.

Joining presenter Julian Worricker are Baroness Arminka Helic, member of the UK House of Lords and Conservative Party foreign policy expert, and Steve Erlanger, chief diplomatic correspondent for The New York Times in Europe.
