Health officials in Gaza say Israel has killed more than eighty people on Wednesday as its bombardment of Gaza intensifies. We hear from Tomo Potokar, a surgeon at a hospital that's come under fire. The former head of Mossad, Danny Yatom, tells us why Israeli reservists are speaking out against the war in Gaza.
Also, evidence from Uganda that chimps practice first aid with medicinal herbs.
And the changing mood in Poland towards refugees from neighbouring Ukraine.
