Israel shuts down international news channel Al-Jazeera
Local offices in Israel are shut down after government vote
Israel has shut down international news channel Al-Jazeera, accusing the platform of bias in its coverage of the Israel-Gaza war. The network has called the ban 'a criminal action' aimed at concealing the truth of the war. We get reaction from the International Federation of Journalists. Also: dozens killed in southern Brazil after floods and mudslides; and the death of actor Bernard Hill
