UK correspondent Harriet Line joins Kathryn to look at the tensions mounting within the Labour party over Sir Keir Starmer's position on the Israel/Gaza conflict. He's faced criticism for appearing to say Israel had the "right" to cut off water and energy to Gaza. He's sought to clarify his position and has met with Muslim MPs. Meanwhile the British government has called for 'specific pauses' in the conflict between Israel and Hamas - but not a ceasefire. And Rishi Sunak has marked his first anniversary in Number 10.
