Holocaust survivors mark 80 years since Auschwitz liberation

Ceremonies are taking place in Poland to mark the eightieth anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau. We hear from survivors and speak to our correspondent at the ceremony.

We explain the latest surge in violence in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo where Rwandan-backed M23 rebels have reportedly entered the city of Goma, causing thousands of people to flee. We'll be joined by our Africa Editor, and speak to residents.

Israel says eight hostages due to be released in the coming weeks are dead. It comes as thousands of displaced Palestinians return to north Gaza after Israel opened checkpoints. We speak to our Middle East correspondents and Palestinians returning to the city.

A trade war between Colombia and the United States appears to have been averted, after the Colombian government agreed to allow US military flights carrying deported migrants to land in the Andean country. We are joined by our reporter in Bogota
