Madagascar's President warns of a coup attempt against him, after the commander of an elite army units refuses orders to fires on 'Gen Z' protesters and joins them on the streets. Madagascar specialist Dr Luke Freeman joins us from the country's capital to break down the power shift this defection could precipitate. Also in the programme: As aid agencies say they are ready to flood Gaza with aid, we hear from UNICEF spokesman James Elder, who is urging Israel to open up the border crossings under their control; and Pakistan and Afghanistan claim that they have inflicted heavy damage to one another during fierce clashes along their border. We get the latest from Islamabad. Joining presenter Paul Henley are Julie Norman, associate professor of politics and international relations at University College London, and the play and screenwriter Ntombizodwa Nyoni.
