Loading player...
The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the United Nations General Assembly that the IDF offensive into Gaza City would continue. But shortly after his speech US President Trump said he was "close to a deal" on the Palestinian enclave. The deal is reported to include the potential for former Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair to head up a transition administration in the Gaza Strip. We speak to a US diplomat who worked with Sir Tony in the Middle East.

Also on the programme: former director of the FBI James Comey says he's paying the price for standing up to Donald Trump as he is criminally indicted for perjury. We hear from a former federal prosecutor.

And 200 years on from the first railway journey from Stockton to Darlington, we reflect on the music inspired by trains.
