A powerful magnitude 8.8 earthquake has struck off Russia's far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula. Tsunami warnings have been issued for Russia, Japan, Hawaii, the West coast of America and Mexico. We hear from a resident in Hawaii.

The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has criticised plans by Britain to recognise Palestinian statehood unless Israel reaches a Gaza ceasefire before September. He said doing so would be a reward for Hamas and would mean the appeasement of jihadists. We speak to the Palestinian Ambassador to Denmark to get his reaction to the news. And hear from Ehud Olmert, former Prime Minister of Israel.

We return to the war in Sudan and the city of El-Fasher in Darfur, which has been under siege for more than a year by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. We hear from the UNHCR refugee agency that has been in touch with people in the city.
