Clashes at journalist's funeral in Jerusalem

Shireen Abu Aqla was killed while covering an Israeli operation in the occupied West Bank.

Violence broke out at the funeral in East Jerusalem of reporter Shireen Abu Aqla, killed in disputed circumstances in the occupied West Bank. Her coffin was jostled as Israeli police and Palestinians clashed as it left a hospital. She was killed on Wednesday while reporting on an Israeli operation. We hear from our correspondent who knew Shireen.

We also get the latest from our reporter in Ukraine. British military intelligence says a Russian battalion lost most of its armoured vehicles when Ukrainian forces shelled temporary floating bridges that Russian forces were using. Ukrainian officials claim more than 1000 soldiers could have been killed, but this number has not been verified.

And the debate continues in the US over the right to abortion after last week's news that the Supreme Court may overturn the Roe v Wade ruling. Today we speak to two women who work in family planning clinics that provide abortions in Pennsylvania and Kentucky.
