The UK government has suspended trade talks with Israel and summoned its ambassador over the decision to allow a basic amount of food to enter the enclave and its continuation of the military offensive in Gaza. The European Union also says it's reviewing its trade agreement with Israel.
Also on the programme: is the government planning to row back on its policy of restricting winter fuel payments? And comedian Lenny Henry makes a return to stand-up.
