We'll also hear from the Middle East where Israel has now become embroiled in Syria in what it says are efforts to protect the Druze minority there.

The United Nations' cultural body, UNESCO, has added new African sites to its world heritage list.

In South Africa car exports to America have plummeted in the wake of President Trump's imposition of tariffs.
