We speak to the husband of a South African writer, Zukiswa Wanner, who was detained by the Israeli military when they boarded a flotilla containing pro Palestinian activists and aid. Though some activists have been released and are headed home, others still remain in Israel and in detention, including Zukiswa Wanner.

And a rescue is under way after hundreds of hikers were stranded by a blizzard on the Tibetan slopes of Mount Everest. Chinese state media says all have been contacted by the authorities. 350 others have been guided to safety by rescuers.
