Today, former President Trump is out west at his Golf Course in Los Angeles County to fundraise before hosting a rally in Las Vegas tonight.

Philippe lazzarini, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you, stephen. You run the unwra relief agency. You have 13,000 staff inside gaza. You currently are not able to visit gaza. What is it like when you hear that, as yesterday, wednesday, six members of your staff have been killed in an israeli bomb attack? this is always absolutely devastating. Yesterday i was boarding the plane coming from cairo to london, when i heard the news. And this happened in a school which was also sheltering at that time 12,000 people.

We start this hour here in the uk where the government has begun releasing prisoners early from jails in england and wales, as part of an Emergency Bid to Ease Overcrowding. A lack of Prison Space is a common issue the united states is predicted to be 10 over capacity by 2025. And even denmark renowned for the relative comfort of its cells is renting Jail Space in kosovo. Around 1,750 inmates are expected to be freed in england and wales as part of a scheme intended to make available up to 5,500 Prison Places. Some offenders whove served at least 40 of their sentences will be released. The plan excludes offenders jailed for violent offences with sentences of at least four years, as well as Sex Offenders and domestic abusers. The government says its taken every measure available to protect the public but concerns have been expressed about Offender Rehabilitation and ensuring victims are safe. And this is the scene live outside Hmp Brixton in South London whe
