The day's news, with Philippa Thomas. Our main story: why did Israel carry out air strikes in Syria ? And will the UN take the Syrian's complaint seriously ? David Cameron is back in Libya - we examine how life has changed for people there since his last visit and Will Ross reports from Nigeria on the latest attack by the Islamic militant group Boko Haram - this time on a revered religious leader. Also tonight - how the death of an Indian woman has reignited the abortion debate in Ireland. Migrants around the world are sending money back to their home countries in record amounts - does that mean foreign aid budgets should be slashed ? and as Russia prepares to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Stalingrad, we hear the untold story of one of the heroes of the great battle, and his dramatic fall from grace.
