US President Joe Biden has said Israel has agreed in principle not to launch military action in the Gaza Strip during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, as negotiations for a temporary ceasefire between Hamas and Israel continue. Speaking on US television, Mr Biden said a pause in fighting could begin on Monday, about a week before the start of Ramadan. In the Newshour studio- our Gaza correspondent Rushdi Abualouf, who had been reporting from inside Gaza for us, until he moved to Istanbul for safety.

Also in the programme: a court in the Netherlands has handed down several life sentences in the biggest criminal trial in Dutch history. Ridouan Taghi was one of three defendants jailed for life; and we hear about the very small fish which can make a very loud noise.
