Israelis are marking three years since the Hamas-led attack on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage. We have the latest. The French interior minister has announced several investigations into alleged excessive use of force by police during the student protests that have swept the country. We speak to parents. Our correspondent takes us through the key points in the US Secretary of State’s speech in Greece. A sexual assault allegation at Cornell University in the US has put the spotlight on alcohol and drug use, consent and campus culture. We hear from two people who were sexually assaulted as students about the impact it has had on their lives. Presenter: James Reynolds.
