Israel launches ground offensive on Gaza City

The Israeli army embarks on an major ground assault into Gaza City. One resident tells us she can't bear the thought of fleeing again.

The offensive comes on the day a UN commission says Israel has committed genocide in Gaza.

Also on the programme: the Hollywood legend Robert Redford has died at the age of 89. We’ll hear from his friend, film producer Lord David Puttnam; and what's changed in Iran three years on from the death of a young Kurdish woman.
