Syria: Renewed clashes between Bedouin tribesmen and Druze Community

Almost six hundred people have been killed since sectarian violence erupted on Sunday.

Renewed clashes between Bedouin tribesmen and members of the minority Druze Community have erupted in the south of Syria. A war monitoring group says there's been fighting and shelling in neighbourhoods of the mainly Druze city of Suweida. We'll hear from Damascus and get a US view of Israel's policy.

Also, why President Trump and some of his most loyal supporters are at odds over the late, disgraced financier, Jeffrey Epstein.

And some virtuoso piano playing from a performer born with only one hand.
