Description

The widow of Charlie Kirk, a right-wing political activist in the US, says she will never let his legacy die. She said her cries would echo around the world like a battle cry. Charlie Kirk was President Donald Trump's bridge to young Republicans. We ask if his death is likely to aggravate political tension in the US?



Also in the programme: a Qatari official, Majed Al Ansari, tells the BBC that his country remains on high alert as the government cannot rule out another Israeli strike; and the three Austrian nuns who refuse to stay in their old peoples' home.
