On the program:

– Officials in Cyprus say a ship loaded with humanitarian aid for Gaza has been given clearance to set sail. The Open Arms relief vessel is expected to use a new maritime corridor to deliver the supplies to Gaza.

– Efforts to secure a ceasefire in Gaza before the start of Ramadan have stalled. War and hunger are overshadowing the eve of the Muslim holy month.

– Voting has closed in elections in Portugal. Exit polls show a shift to the right, as in other European nations in recent polls. After eight years under socialist rule, Portugal may get a new government – including the far-right party Chega.
