Go-Ahead for Aid for Starving Syrian Town
Aid agreement for Madaya; Sickness in Balkan Refugee Camps; Who owns the monkey selfie?
The Syrian town of Madaya waits desperately for aid, after the government agrees to lift a blockade that has led to a starving population - and accounts of people eating grass or leaves to survive. The aid is expected to arrive on Monday.
Medics working at refugee aid camps in the Balkans say they're seeing a spike in the number of migrants falling ill, because of the cold weather. Temperatures have fallen to as low as minus 11 degrees celsius in the region.
A judge has ruled that an Indonesian crested Macaque monkey does NOT own the copyright to the selfie she took. We hear from the photographer involved why he thinks HE owns the rights.
