	Description:		Jordan's foreign minister has warned that cuts to the funding of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, could be "extremely destabilising". Ayman Safadi reacted to reports that the United States had decided to cut all funding it gives to UNRWA. The US had already announced a big reduction of contributions earlier this year. Also in the programme: Why fighting between rival militias in Libya's Tripoli have escalated; and remembering Iosif Kobzon, "Russia's Frank Sinatra", who has died at the age of 80.
