Newshour - Israeli leader addresses UN assembly

Israel leader Benjamin Netanyahu addresses the UN General Assembly in Geneva just days after several leading countries announced the recognition of Palestinian statehood. We speak to the father of an Israeli soldier who was captured on 7 October 2023. The father was at the UN and turned his back on the Israeli prime minister.

Also in the programme: the former FBI director James Comey, who led the FBI's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 Trump campaign, has been indicted. We hear the latest; and after a breakthrough in the treatment of Huntingdon’s disease this week, we speak to Arlo Guthrie whose father Woody, the celebrated folk singer, died of the condition.
