We start with continuing protests in the Palestinian territories, a day after the Israeli army killed 60 Palestinians and injured thousands protesting near the fence that surrounds Gaza. The protesters were continuing their demand for an end to the Israeli siege of the Gaza Strip and the right to return to their homes. The demonstrations were given extra impetus by the US moving its embassy to Jerusalem. Today marks Nakba Day, or "day of the catastrophe" for Palestinians. Its a day when they remember Israel's ethnic cleansing of more than 700-thousand Palestinians from their villages and towns in 1948. Our reporter Noor Harazeen has more from Gaza.
