Rwanda has sent troops across the border to the Democratic Republic of Congo to support the rebel M23 groups, triggering the Congolese foreign minister to call for international sanctions against Kigali. We speak to the UN force supporting the DRC national forces and a local journalist in Goma to find out the latest. Also on the programme: President Trump has said Palestinians should move from Gaza to neighbouring Arab countries, we speak to Richard Haass, President Emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations; and the latest on the Presidential election in Belarus which EU leaders have labelled a farce.
