Death toll from North Macedonia nightclub fire rises to 59

Officials say more than 155 have been injured in the blaze, which broke out at the Pulse club in Kočani, a town around 100km east of the capital, Skopje. We speak to a surgeon treating some of those injured, and a spokesperson for the State Public Prosecutors Office about the status of the investigation into the fire.

Also on the programme: A significant conflict in the Middle East seems to be on the verge of dramatic escalation, following US airstrikes on Yemen, which are thought to have killed around 30 people; and we hear about a new soap opera "Beyond the Gate", the first daytime soap with a predominantly black cast to feature on network TV.
