About this episode
Today, the BBC’s special correspondent Fergal Keane travelled with the first Jordanian helicopter delivering aid inside Gaza since the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel was declared.
Adam speaks to Fergal about what it was like to be the first international correspondent to fly with the Jordanians into Israeli-held territory in southern Gaza.
And, the Office for National Statistics has projected a population growth of 7.3% between 2022 and 2032; the number is almost entirely based on the net migration of an estimated 4.9 million people over the 10-year period. Adam is joined by Stephanie Hegarty, BBC population correspondent, and Professor Sarah Harper, an expert on demography and Professor of Gerontology at the University of Oxford, to discuss today’s ONS findings and what population scientists say about how demographics are changing around the world.
