Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has promised to investigate a crush at a crowded religious festival that left dozens of people dead.
At least 45 people were killed and 150 were injured at the all-night Lag B'Omer festival near Mount Meron, which attracted tens of thousands of Orthodox Jews.
Also on the programme: the death toll in Brazil from the Covid pandemic passes 400,000 and in Holland a couple have become the first tenants of a house constructed entirely by a 3D printer.
