UK begins trials of Ebola vaccine

Available for 26 days

The authorities in Thailand have promised a full investigation into a Bangkok bar fire that killed at least 28 people. We speak to our correspondent. We hear tributes to actor Sam Neill, famed for his starring role in Jurassic Park, following his death at the age of 78. The official death toll from last month's devastating earthquakes in Venezuela has now risen to nearly 4,500. Two people – one in the Philippines, the other in Wales – share what it was like to be trapped after a major disaster.
