Mobile phone footage released by the New York Times appears to contradict the Israeli account of how Palestinian medics met their deaths in Gaza. The video shows the workers’ medical vehicles with their headlights on and emergency lights flashing. The Israeli military had said the convoy had been advancing suspiciously, without lights on. Also on the programme: President Trump urges Americans to "hang tough", after the biggest falls on US stock markets in years; and the British woman in her 70s who found out she had been swapped at birth.
