Summary

EU leaders are meeting in Copenhagen under pressure to boost European defence after a series of Russian incursions into EU airspace, and days after drones targeted Danish airports.

Also in the programme: The International Red Cross has been forced to cease operations in Gaza City because of the intensity of the Israeli offensive; Jane Goodall, famous for her ground-breaking studies of chimpanzees, has died at the age of 91; and as one Hollywood star, Julie Andrews, turns 90, we'll hear about a new young actor who'll never grow old.

Hello and welcome to NewsHour Live from the BBC World Service in London.

0:13.8

I'm Rebecca Kesby.

Coming up on the programme today, Dame Jane Goodall,

0:19.1

the ground-breaking scientist has died at the age of 91.

0:23.4

Her work with wild chimpanzees in the 1960s changed the way we see our own relationship to other primates.

0:31.1

Here she is talking to the BBC in 2014 about how she made her key discovery that chimps used tools. She found out while she was

And there was this chimpanzee I could see him through my binoculars, picking pieces of grass

stems.

And although I couldn't see clearly, he was obviously pushing them down into the termite mound

1:08.3

and eating something.

off. That's the beginning of toolmaking.

1:28.5

And we'll have more from that interview with Jane Goodall.

1:32.7

And also we'll be assessing her legacy with the British naturalist Chris Packham in about 30 minutes time.

1:40.1

First, though, according to the Danish Prime Minister Mehta, Frederen, Europe is only at the beginning of a hybrid war with Russia
