France's far right leader Marine le Pen has come out fighting after a court blocked her from running for President in two years, following her conviction for embezzlement. We hear reaction from her party, plus analysis of what this means for French politics.
Also in the programme: the UN's humanitarian chief says he wants answers and justice after fifteen Palestinian medics and aid workers are killed by Israeli forces in Gaza; and as news emerges of Sudan's National Museum being ransacked by retreating forces, we hear from a senior curator.
