Sri Lanka's President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has issued a formal letter of resignation from Singapore after fleeing the country - we'll head to Colombo to find out what's next for the country.

President Joe Biden will meet the Palestinian leader Mamoud Abbas shortly, but the prospect of revitalising the peace process seems remote.

And we'll speak to a Ugandan MP about the half a million people going hungry in the Karamoja region.
