The United Nations’ Human Rights Chief Volker Türk has warned that the violence in Israel and Gaza could amount to war crimes or even genocide. A new UN report says nearly 70 per cent of the thousands of fatalities were women and children. The report covers Hamas’ attack in Israel on October 7th and the first six months of Israel’s war in Gaza. Mr Türk said there had to be justice for what he described as horrific violence. In response, Israel says the report “fails to accurately reflect the realities on the ground”. Also in the programme: the mayor of Amsterdam has condemned the violent attacks on Israeli citizens following a football match saying they brought to mind anti-Jewish pogroms; we speak to the Prime Minister of Belgium about Europe’s relationship with US President-elect Donald Trump; and we hear about efforts to train the next generation of arm wrestlers in South Africa.
