Secretive Saudi executions

We hear how families in Saudi Arabia have no advance warning of relatives being executed

Executions of prisoners have been carried out in Saudi Arabia with no advance warning to their families, relatives have told the BBC. Our correspondent has been following the story and has spoken to family members who were given no notice that their loved ones were about to be killed.

Also on the programme, we go to Pakistan where a suicide bombing happened on Monday at a mosque in the city of Peshawar. At least 100 people died in the attack and most of the victims were police officers. We hear the latest on that attack and also hear reaction to the attack from people in Pakistan.

We also hear from our reporter in Egypt where a BBC News investigation has revealed how the Egyptian police are using dating apps to find and arrest LGBTQ people there.
