Tennessee death row inmate Christa Pike is 'receiving life-saving care' in hospital, after surviving two lethal injection attempts, leading the state's governor to halt all executions for the year. So how common is it for the procedure to go wrong? Also in the programme: Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, says the co-pilot responsible for the attack on board a plane bound for Israel had undergone "Islamist radical indoctrination", though he has said it is too early to say if Iran was involved; and what elephants' low-frequency rumbles reveal about their lives.
