  • This is The Guardian.

  • Today the reality of Gaza's unfolding famine.

  • Hello, Jonathan Friedland here, host of The Guardian's Politics Weekly America podcast.

  • Has Donald Trump been quietly building a political dynasty to rival that of the Kennedys?

  • That's the question I'm answering in a new three-part special series.

  • Why did Ivanka and Jared step back from political life?

  • Is Don Jr. the obvious successor?

  • Or could the silent, MAGA favourite, Barron?

  • be a dark horse.

  • In this series, I speak to the people who've spent time with members of Donald Trump's family,

  • getting their take on who helped him get to the White House and who might take over once he leaves.

  • Just search for Politics Weekly America wherever you listen to your podcasts.

  • devastation of the land, the mass destruction of all the buildings,

  • this sort of dystopian, completely destroyed land.

  • The pictures you have all seen can't possibly do it justice.

  • Nick Maynard is a surgeon who's just come back from a month working at the NASA hospital in southern Gaza.

  • The striking thing about going into any of these hospitals over the last 22 months is the overwhelming crowding of the hospitals.

  • Of course, we know they're not safe places, but people assume they're going to be safe.

  • So as you approach the hospital, the grounds are full of people living there,

  • patients and relatives lying on the floor on mattresses, sometimes no mattresses, on the stairwells.
