US bombs on hold to Israel
The US last week paused a bomb shipment for Israel over concerns it was going ahead with a major ground operation in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, a senior US administration official said. Israel has not "fully addressed" US concerns over humanitarian needs of civilians in Rafah, the official said. An Israeli military official appeared to play down the US move. We hear analysis from the US and reaction from Israel.

Israel orders evacuation of 100,000 from Rafah
Air-dropped leaflets told Palestinians to leave ahead of a planned military operation. The Israeli Defence Forces directed civilians to an ‘expanded humanitarian area’ in the coastal strip of Al-Mawasi. Aid agencies say there is not enough infrastructure to support the wave of displaced people, and many fear the order marks the beginning of a major Israeli offensive in Rafah.
Also on the programme: Argentina’s libertarian president Javier Milei speaks to the BBC’s Ione Wells about his economic ‘shock therapy’; and Ukraine’s war-weary troops fighting on the front lines for two years without a break.

Biased and Ignorant
Unbelievably ignorant especially about Asia. Reporters don't even understand the language of the countries they reports from. Shame on you.
A really arrogant host talks as if he is superior to other.
