Looking overseas now - and US president Donald Trump has been in the Middle East this week - visiting Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. 

He's signed a $142 billion arms deal and met with a president - who once led a group deemed a terrorist organisation by the US.

Trump is heading back to the US now as health officials in Gaza say hours of Israeli strikes have killed almost 100 people in the north of the strip. 

To bring us up to speed with the latest we're joined by the BBC's Middle East Editor Sebastian Usher.
