Elon Musk wins defamation case

The American entrepreneur has been cleared of defaming a British cave explorer on Twitter

A jury in Los Angeles has found the American entrepreneur Elon Musk not guilty of defaming a British cave explorer by calling him 'pedo guy' on Twitter. Mr Musk insulted Vernon Unsworth after he rejected the businessman's offer to help rescue twelve boys and their football coach in Thailand last year.

Also on the programme: Australian firefighters say bushfires north of Sydney are "too big to put out"; and why a 5-year-old American boy invited his whole class to watch his adoption hearing.
