Turkish ban on Wikipedia "unconstitutional"

Wikipedia welcomes a court ruling declaring Turkey's nationwide ban as unconstitutional.

Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, has welcomed a ruling from Turkey's Constitutional Court declaring its ban by the government a violation of freedom of expression., but says it will continue its legal battle on other fronts. We hear from the company's lawyer.

Also on the programme, we hear an eyewitness account of the thousands of people fleeing an escalation of fighting in the Syrian province of Idlib. And the young man who died while trying to prevent a mass shooting in the United States has now been made a Jedi.
