Typhoon Ragasa hits southern China
The tropical cyclone killed at least 17 people in eastern Taiwan
This year's most powerful tropical cyclone, typhoon Ragasa, has made landfall in southern China. Police vehicles have been patrolling the streets with megaphones, urging people to stay inside - but it is difficult to hear them above gusts of 100mph (160km/h) winds. Our China reporter brings us the latest and we hear from people in Taiwan where Ragasa claimed at least 17 lives.
US officials say one person has been killed and a number wounded in a shooting at an immigration facility in Texas. We speak to our North America correspondent.
We bring together in conversation people who decided to forgive the person who killed their loved one 鈥� after the widow of the pro-Trump influencer Charlie Kirk who was shot and killed said her Christian faith meant she would forgive her husband鈥檚 killer.
