Also coming up -- Inter-communal tensions in Syria have surfaced again. Dozens of people have been killed in fighting between government-backed forces and members of the country's Druze minority. We'll get a briefing from Damascus.
And we'll have an update from Australia where Erin Patterson is on trial accused of murdering three people by serving them food laced with death cap mushrooms. We'll go live to the court house for the latest on the trial.
