International Court of Justice hears case accusing Israel of genocide
ICJ case has been brought by South Africa
Lawyers for the South African government have told the court that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and wants to destroy the territory. We'll hear a response from the Israeli government and examine the potential impact of the case.
Also in the programme: two of Sweden's most senior defence officials are urging the country to prepare itself for the possibility of war with Russia; and the extra-ordinary new plants and fungi discovered by scientists last year.
