Benjamin Netanyahu cancels a plan to settle African migrants to Western countries one day after agreeing to it.

Also in the programme: France faces a wave of strike action in the biggest challenge so far to President Macron's reforms; and the Chinese couple reunited with their missing daughter after a 24-year search.
