D-Day veterans mark the 80th anniversary of the Normandy invasion

World leaders pay tribute to the people who liberated Europe from the Nazis.

In Normandy, world leaders reflect on the sacrifice of war and the need for peace and the few surviving veterans tell their stories.

Also on the programme: the UN in Gaza refutes Israeli claims the UN is too close to Hamas; and are Elon Musk's space dreams getting closer to reality?
