Today's Highlighted Video Story:  Israel's army has admitted its soldiers made mistakes over the killing of 15 emergency workers in southern Gaza on 23 March. Israel originally claimed troops opened fire because the convoy approached "suspiciously" in darkness without headlights or flashing lights - but mobile phone footage released on Saturday, filmed by one of the paramedics who was killed, showed the vehicles did have lights on as they answered a call to help wounded people.
