Al-Qaeda leader killed in Afghanistan

Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed in a targeted US drone strike in Kabul.

We discuss the killing of Ayman al-Zawahiri with the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Chief International correspondent Lyse Doucet, our Senior North America reporter Anthony Zurcher and the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s jihadism speacialist Mina Al-Lami. We find out what is known about the CIA's operation in Kabul and what does this mean for al-Qaeda.

We have been getting messages from people around the world reacting to the killing of Ayman al-Zawahiri.

The US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has arrived in Taiwan despite earlier warnings from China that she should stay away. We speak to our Asia Pacific Editor Celia Hatton and hear from three people in Taiwan about what they expect from the visit and what role China plays in their day-to-day lives.
