As an Israeli military offensive in northern Gaza continues, the UN agency says no new food has arrived since the start of October. Meanwhile, residents, who have been asked to evacuate the area by the IDF, hesitate as Hamas tells them to stay. We hear from one woman who is staying put for now, and from the former IDF general who addresses rumours circulating about a siege on the area.

Also on the programme: We hear tributes for Alex Salmond, the former first minister of Scotland who has died at the age of sixty nine; and Spanish scientists say they have found the final resting place of Christopher Columbus.
