World leaders condemn Gaza hospital attack
Israel's prime minister described double strike on Nasser hospital as a 'tragic mishap.'
There's been international condemnation of Israeli airstrikes on a hospital in southern Gaza that killed at least twenty people. The head of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, described Monday's incident as horrific; the French president, Emmanuel Macron, said it was intolerable. Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, expressed deep regret and referred to the attacks as a 'tragic mishap.' We speak to one of the hospital's doctors.
President Donald Trump has sacked a Federal Reserve governor, Lisa Cook, for alleged mortgage fraud. A major escalation in his battle against the US central bank.
And we hear about the small eastern European state of Moldova which achieved full electricity consumption coverage with green energy. We speak to the country's energy minister.
