Today, Israel carried out a surprise strike on senior Hamas leaders in Doha, Qatar.

Hamas claims the leaders - who were in Doha as part of the delegation negotiating a possible ceasefire deal - survived but said that six others were killed in the strike.

The Trump administration was notified about the strikes before they happened by the US military, and Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says it was a “wholly independent Israeli operation”. 

What does this mean for the ongoing war in Gaza? Adam speaks to the BBC’s chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet, and chief presenter, Caitríona Perry.

Israel Strikes Hamas In Qatar

Today, the new Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said that the UK could suspend visas for countries with who don’t “play ball” with the government’s migrant return plans.

This comes after the Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s surprise cabinet reshuffle at the end of last week, triggered by the resignation of his Deputy Angela Rayner, who paid an incorrect amount of stamp duty on a property. The Labour NEC has announced the timeline for a deputy leader election campaign.

Adam and Chris unpack the Home Secretary’s plans, and ask — who could be the next deputy PM?

Adam also speaks to the new Scotland Secretary Douglas Alexander about his new brief. They discuss the upcoming deputy leadership election and how the reshuffle may impact the direction of the party.
