The United Nations says violence between Israelis and Palestinians in the occupied West Bank risks spiralling out of control.

We speak to George Scholey,  the UK Ambassador for Rubik's Cube, who himself has won Guinness World Record for completing the most cubes in 24 hours. We also hear from others who enjoy cubing.

A video has gone viral showing a French woman sunbathing peacefully on a beach in Australia until a Dingo bites her. We hear stories from our listeners of some fateful interactions with wild animals.
