It's a day of ceremonies in Israel in memory of the nearly twelve hundred people killed and two-hundred-and-fifty taken hostage by Hamas in the attacks launched from Gaza exactly one year ago. The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, visited a monument for victims of the attacks in Jerusalem. The BBC's Jon Donnison tells us about fighting in Gaza amid the ceremonies.

Also in the programme: After the Lebanese group Hezbollah fired rockets into Israel, the mayor of an affected city describes some of the damage caused; and two US scientists are awarded the Nobel prize in medicine for their work on genetics.
