The NFL star was controversially cleared of double murder in 1995.

Orenthal James Simpson rose to fame as a college footballer before playing in the NFL. In 1995, he was acquitted of the murder of his former wife Nicole Brown and a friend in a trial that gripped America. In 2008, he was sentenced to 33 years' imprisonment on charges of armed robbery. He was released in 2017. His family says he died of cancer. We look back at his life. 

The Israeli military have said they're constructing a new direct land crossing into northern Gaza. Melanie Ward is CEO of Medical Aid for Palestinians. She's just back from Gaza and is live on OS from Cairo.

Officials at a Canadian lab have admitted they knew its paternal tests were misidentifying babies’ biological fathers. We find out what happened. 

Ecuador was once known as an ‘island of peace’ for being a relatively safe, tourist paradise but is now one of the most violent countries in Latin America. We speak to our colleague Ana María Roura who has returned to her home country to see how it has changed.

Presenter: Luke Jones.
