Survivors of the Auschwitz extermination camp gathered there again to mark 80 years since it was liberated by Allied forces towards the end of WWII. World leaders and European royalty were present, but it was the 56 survivors of Hitler's genocide of European Jews that took centre-stage. We report from the camp and speak to survivors and guides about its horrors and the dwindling memories of them.
The bishop who urged newly-inaugurated President Trump to show mercy to illegal migrants and LGBT minorities told us his policies are "not in the best interests of... our survival as a species."
And could Britain's loneliest bat be about to find love?
