Gavin Grey: Europe correspondent on British troops aid operation in Gaza and the uprooting of thousands of apple trees by UK's largest cider maker

View descriptionShare

British troops could be deployed on the ground in Gaza to help deliver aid via a new sea route.

The US has said no American forces would go ashore from a floating pontoon – a “third party” will drive trucks along a causeway onto the beach. Britain has been closely involved in planning the sea-bourne aid operation. 

Europe correspondent Gavin Grey tells Mike Hosking the task is risky due to the accidental killings of aid workers by Israel Defence Forces. 

Meanwhile, the UK’s largest cider maker has chopped down a huge orchard, sparking fears for wildlife.  

Lower demand for cider meant Bulmer’s Cider, owned by Heineken, had an excess of apples and uprooted thousands of trees.
