And speak live to key players on todays big stories. Plus, a first look whats on tomorrows front pages. Good evening. Were live injerusalem, reporting on the continuing trauma of both sides in the israel gaza conflict. The un is warning a deal agreed yesterday to get aid into gaza, with an initial 20 lorries loaded with food, water and medicine ready to go, is inadequate. Humanitarian agencies say the hope is the convoys from egypt can begin rolling tomorrow, but over 2 Million People need help, as israel continues its bombing campaign, targeting members of hamas responsible for the murders of around 1,400 israelis 12 days ago. Hamas is a group designated as a Terrorist Organisation by the uk government.
