    08/11/2026 | 34 mins.
    Police are continuing to investigate after six people were killed in a shooting in Krakow's market square, with three other bodies found at the suspect's home.

    The United Nations childrens agency says almost everyone in Gaza needs help after heavy rains flooded tens of thousands of tents where displaced people are living. About 90 percent of Gaza's population - half of whom are children - have been made homeless since Israel launched its military response to the Hamas attacks three years ago.
    Also in the programme: Poland's interior minister says the gunman who shot dead six people in Krakow appears to have been fascinated by far right ideology; and the Hungarian grandmother who was tricked and spied on during communism.

    Tech shares tumble worldwide

    06/11/2026 | 43 mins.
    Technology shares across the world have plummeted over concerns of a slowdown in AI development in the US. Newshour debates the rights and wrongs of data centres.
    Also in the programme: Paraguay's banking scandal; and the harmful effects of space weather.
    Correction: In this programme we referred to a demonstration in the Netherlands where 100 protesters broke into a Microsoft data centre construction site in Amsterdam. We wrongly implied that the NGO Global Action Plan was coordinating this protest. However, the direct action at the data centre in the Netherlands was not coordinated or promoted by the Global Action Plan campaign.
