The head of the European Commission has said a new maritime corridor for delivering humanitarian aid from Cyprus to Gaza will begin operating very soon. On a visit to Cyprus, Ursula von der Leyen said she hoped the initiative would start by Sunday. A pilot project will begin today. The project is also being backed by the United States, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom.

Also on the programme: We hear from the new US Special Envoy for Sudan; and the death of "Dragon Ball" creator, Akira Toriyama.
