Description

The fate of the hostages held by Hamas in Gaza was raised at an emergency meeting of the United Nations General Assembly where Arab states have drafted a resolution calling for a ceasefire. We look at the role Qatar plays as a mediator in the conflict.

Also in the programme: a major police hunt is continuing in the US state of Maine for a gunman who killed eighteen people; and the BBC speaks to survivors of a deadly crowd crush in South Korea that happened a year ago.
