Netanyahu tells US Congress "our fight is your fight"

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a landmark address before a joint session of the United States Congress in which he enjoined US politicians to continue supporting his country's war against Hamas in Gaza and its confrontation with Iran. "When we fight Iran, we're fighting the most radical and murderous enemy of the United States of America," Mr Netanyahu said. But protesters outside the Capitol building labelled him a "war criminal" and called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. A whistleblower who released a video of Olympian Charlotte Dujardin, appearing repeatedly to whip a horse she was training, says she did so in order to "save dressage". What impact could the video have on the equestrian sport? And we spoke to the biographer of celebrated Canadian author Alice Munro, who passed away in May. Her daughter now says she was sexually abused by her stepfather, and accused her mother of turning a blind eye.
