The BBC has halted the latest series of Top Gear

The BBC has halted the latest series of Top Gear.

The BBC says it has halted the latest series of Top Gear after presenter Andrew "Freddie" Flintoff was hurt in an accident while filming. We explain what happened and hear reaction from Top Gear fans from around the world.

Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel continues his visits to European capitals – today to London -- amid growing turmoil at home. We have the latest from our correspondent. 

Since the devastating earthquakes in Syria and Turkey, we’ve been hearing about one family’s struggles to find permanent shelter. Karim, his wife Imran and their 7-year old daughter Nada share what’s happened since they spoke to us a couple of weeks ago.

The BBC has paused its decision to close the BBC Singers, after "a number of organisations" came forward to offer alternative funding. Our music correspondent joins us to explain the decision and we hear reaction from one of the conductors who signed the petition to save the BBC Singers.
