Hello,
thanks for your messages about the previous episode of Newscast about the start of the Israeli incursion into northern Gaza,
which was focused on Gaza City.
The development today on Friday, as I'm speaking to you now, is that the IPC,
which is the UN-backed body that measures global hunger,
has now declared that there is a famine in...
Gaza City and there is the risk of famine in other parts of Gaza very soon.
That's prompted another round of international condemnation from people like David Lammy,
the British Foreign Secretary,
but it's also prompted another round of denials by the Israeli government that there is any famine happening at all and increased pressure on the Israeli government to do more to let food aid into Gaza.
So a repeat of that sort of thing.
as well.
Now, you might have noticed that this week I've been moonlighting.
I've been filling in for Matt Chorley on Five Live between two and four o'clock every day doing his politics show.
And we thought, why don't we take advantage of that?
and record an episode of Newscast live on Five Live.
So listeners of Five Live can get an insight into what you listen to every day and also just hear the podcast being made in real time.
So that is what you're going to hear.
And the format is, yeah, lots of Newscast regulars.
And we're going to look back at kind of the big story of the week,
