  • This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service.

  • I'm Uncle Desai and at 13Hours GMT on Friday 27th June, these are our main stories.

  • In the Middle East,

  • millions are pumped into the controversial aid distribution system in Gaza,

  • but concerns remain.

  • Peace beckons between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda,

  • with the US taking the credit.

  • Also, in this podcast, in South Sudan, students continue to wait for exam results,

  • while the government says it doesn't have enough money to pay for exam markers.

  • And?

  • The dreaded blue screen of death sound when your Windows computer has a problem is set to be retired by Microsoft.

  • We explain why.

  • Ever since the US and Israeli-backed Gaza humanitarian hub began operating in the territory one month ago,

  • we've been getting daily reports of Palestinians being killed

  • while trying to collect food.

  • This has continued today with seven people reportedly killed by Israeli forces

  • while waiting near a distribution site.

  • Dozens more have been killed by Israeli airstrikes and shelling elsewhere in Gaza.

  • The Israeli military has repeatedly said it will investigate reports of deaths near its aid sites,

  • but the charity Médecins Sans Frontiers or Doctors Without Borders describe the scheme as slaughter masquerading as aid.
