Tzipi Livni mourns Shimon Perez, who shaped modern Israel

One of the founding fathers of Israel, Shimon Peres, has died at the age of 93. Peres did more than any prime minister to shape modern Israel. He created Israel’s defense industry, but also built bridges to a region often hostile to the goals of the Jewish state. In an Op-Ed in the New York Times, Israel’s former foreign minister Tzipi Livni wrote that it would be difficult to imagine Israel’s past without Shimon Peres, and that it will be even harder to imagine its future now that he’s gone.

Next, a new Netflix documentary looks at the Amanda Knox case from all sides. Was she a remorseless killer with the face of an angel, or an innocent young woman convicted by bad policing and the unscrupulous press?

And finally, Elon Musk wants to start manned missions to Mars by 2022. What will real-life on Mars be like?
