Chris Wathan takes your calls on Gaza, tipping and the Women's Rugby World Cup

How do you feel about the situation in Gaza? Do you tip for good service? And what do you think success will look like for Wales in the Women's Rugby World Cup?

A famine has been confirmed in Gaza City for the first time today.
The Israeli government has consistently denied that famine is taking place in the territory.
But a report by the IPC - the international body responsible for monitoring world hunger – says that starvation is present in Gaza, and is rapidly spreading.
In response, Israel has claimed that the report is false and biased.
How do you feel about the situation in Gaza? And does the UK Government need to do more to ensure that humanitarian aid gets through?

Do you tip for good service? It’s quite normal these days for a service charge to be added automatically to bills in cafes and restaurants.
Apparently, a 15% charge is now becoming the norm, and some experts say it could soon rise to 20%.
Are you happy to pay an automatic service charge? Or should tipping always be at our discretion?

And the women’s Rugby World Cup kicks off in Sunderland tonight. Wales face Canada, Scotland and Fiji in the group stage.
Following two consecutive wooden spoons in the Six Nations, what do you think success looks like for Sean Lynn’s side?
