Israel's decision to ban the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa, is our top story. Israel accuses agency staff of taking part in the 7 October attacks. The decision has been widely criticised, including by the US. But what will it mean for aid delivery in Gaza? We head there to speak to a journalist.

Kamala Harris has held a rally in the key state of Michigan, a week before the US presidential elections. Many Arab-American and Muslim voters there are concerned about her position on Gaza. We speak to a leading Imam.

Thousands of people in Georgia have been protesting about the parliamentary elections there. We speak to one protester.

We hear from Nigeria's foreign minister Yusuf Tuggar on the Commonwealth and whether reparations should be considered for slavery and colonialism.
