  • Srebrenica revisited: 30 years on from the worst massacre of the Balkan wars
    On this day in 1995, at the height of the war in the former Yugoslavia, the Bosnian Serb army captured what was supposedly the UN "safe area" of Srebrenica. In the ensuing days, thousands of Bosnian Muslim women were raped. 8000 Muslim men and boys were murdered. It was Europe's worst massacre since the Second World War.Also in the programme: a Liberian historian on whether his fellow citizens should be outraged by President Trump's remarking on the Liberian leader's "excellent English"; and Scottish writer Irvine Welsh on his sequel to Trainspotting 30 years on from the publication of the original novel.(Photo: Bosnian Muslim women react as they stand amid grave stones of victims killed during the Srebrenica genocide, at the Srebrenica Genocide Memorial in Potocari, Bosnia and Herzegovina, 11 July 2025.

  • Gaza hospital stops admitting casualties
    Gaza's largest remaining hospital, the Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis, has stopped admitting casualties because of Israeli troops operating nearby. We speak to a doctor who is an emergency physician there. Also on the programme: Kurdish PKK rebels have begun disbanding after a decades-long insurgency against the Turkish state; and scientists say the mystery interstellar object spotted last week by astronomers could be the oldest comet ever seen, possibly more than seven billion years old. (Photo: Medical personnel work in an operating room at Nasser Hospital, which Gaza's health ministry says is at risk of shutting down due to the Israeli blockade of fuel, as the ongoing shortage has already forced the facility to reduce its capacity.

  • 15 people killed outside medical clinic in Gaza
    The CEO of Gaza aid group Project Hope tells Newshour there is ‘no justification’ for the killing of civilians seeking medical care, after an Israeli strike killed 15 Palestinians, including ‘at least 8 children’, waiting outside its clinic in central Gaza. The IDF said it had been targeting a Hamas fighter who took part in the October 7th attack. Also on the programme: we speak to Brazilian President Lula De Silva's chief foreign policy advisor following Mr Lula's pledge to match 50% US tariffs; and the original Birkin handbag has been sold at auction for more than ten million dollars.

  • Kenya's president calls for protestors to be shot in the legs
    Kenya's President William Ruto has ordered police to shoot protesters in the legs any protesters targeting businesses. The UN and human rights groups have accused the police of using excessive force during a wave of anti-government protests. Also on the programme, as Europe's top human rights court finds Russia responsible for the 2014 downing of a Malaysia Airlines flight over Ukraine, we speak to a relative of three of those killed in the crash; and how one Iranian singer fell in love with Spanish flamenco and now performs it in Farsi.
