Aid Workers Evacuate Syrian Patients

The Red Cross and Red Crescent are evacuating critically ill patients from Eastern Ghouta. The UN has pleaded for the Syrian government to allow the evacuation of hundreds of patients, including children with cancer. Also, an Argentine judge says a prosecutor who died hours before he was due to testify against a former president was murdered, the racing driver Lewis Hamilton is criticised for appearing to mock his nephew for wearing a princess dress, and the renowned Italian chef Gualtiero Marchesi has died in his native city of Milan, aged 87.
