Fears of a return to civil war in Northern Ethiopia

Newshour

Available for 25 days

Could there be a return to full-scale civil war in the Horn of Africa, where fresh fighting has broken out in Ethiopia? Also in the programme: President Trump's Board of Peace for Gaza announces a $2.45bn recovery plan for the territory. We speak to one of the board's members and get the view of a Palestinian; and French archaeologists find new evidence of the origins of the city of Paris.
