Medics say at least 26 killed by Israeli tankfire at Gaza aid centre

Mass casualties being treated after incident at aid distribution centre in Khan Younis.

Medics in Gaza say at least twenty-six Palestinians have been killed and many more wounded by Israeli tank fire near a US-backed aid distribution centre. Local reports put the number of injured at over one-hundred, after large crowds gathered outside the aid station in the early hours of the morning. We discuss the ongoing situation in Gaza with German CDU Bundestag member Norbert Rottgen.

Also in the programme: Mexico becomes the first country in history to have an entirely elected judiciary. And we speak to Alessandra Sampaio, about her late husband Dom Phillips, who was killed while researching for a now posthumously published book on deforestation.

Joining presenter Julian Worricker are the Financial Times Political Editor George Parker, and Professor Lesli Vinjamuri, Director of the US and Americas programme at Chatham House think tank.
