BBC World Service – Newshour, Israel tightens security in Jerusalem

As Palestinians prepare for Ramadan, extra police have been deployed in the Old City of Jerusalem where tens of thousands of worshippers are expected daily at the Al Aqsa mosque. And we hear about the new maritime routes planned to get aid to Gaza.

Also on the programme, we speak to a nun who works with impoverished children in Haiti, amid increasing violence in the country, and we get the latest on the abduction of hundreds of school children in Nigeria by gunmen. And Oscars 2024 predictions: Who will win?
