Trump ally Charlie Kirk murdered
He died after being been shot at a campus event in Utah.
The American Conservative activist Charlie Kirk has died after being been shot at a campus event in Utah. The 31-year-old was an influential ally of President Donald Trump, who's called him a "great American patriot" and ordered flags across the US to be flown at half mast. The President said this marked a dark day for the country. We speak to an eyewitness to the event.
We report from southern Gaza where Israel is building a new site near the city of Rafah. It comes as Israel has ordered the entire population of Gaza City to leave.
And we go to Kenya where three humanitarian groups will gather to try and help start a peace process to end the civil war in Sudan.
