Fallen 'Crypto King' Sam Bankman-Fried gets prison time for fraud

Fallen 'Crypto King' Sam Bankman-Fried gets prison time for fraud.

The ruling cements the downfall of the former billionaire who emerged as a high profile champion of cryptocurrency before his firm's dramatic collapse in 2022. He was found to have stolen billions from customers ahead of the failure. 

Also on the programme: the International Court of Justice has ordered Israel to take urgent action to ensure Palestinians in Gaza get basic food supplies; and the world's longest serving lifeguard on the rewards of the job.
