Fighting intensifies in southern Gaza

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has told the US he opposes the establishment of a Palestinian state, once the conflict in Gaza comes to an end. It comes amid an intensification of the violence in Gaza and the West Bank - we report from both. Also on the programme: Two men who were sent to prison because of evidence from a corrupt police officer have had their convictions posthumously quashed. We hear from one of their sons. A report into one of the worst school shootings in US history has described the police response as a failure. We hear from the father of a ten-year-old boy who survived being shot in the attack.
