The People Of Gdansk Say Farewell To Their Murdered Mayor
Pawel Adamowicz was fatally stabbed on stage at a charity event on Sunday evening.
Thousands of Poles carrying flags and candles walked in procession through the streets of Gdansk yesterday, as the coffin of the city's mayor, Pawel Adamowicz, was taken to the church where his funeral will take place later today. Mr Adamowicz was fatally stabbed on stage at a charity event on Sunday evening.
Also on the programme we hear from the UN special envoy to Libya on the troubled situation of the country. It's the first time that the UN has been there at all since 2012. And preparations are underway for a second summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. What do they hope to achieve?
