Mexico arrests its former attorney-general

The authorities in Mexico have arrested Jesús Murillo Karam, the man who was serving as attorney-general when one of the country's worst human rights atrocities took place - the disappearance of forty-three student teachers in 2014.

Also, Monty Python member Terry Gilliam, whose new play was cancelled by a theatre in London because of his remarks about trans rights and #MeToo, warns that we are “living in a time when thoughts are dangerous”.

And the bizarre case of a QAnon-inspired conspiracy theorist who claims to be the 'Queen of Canada' and has been issuing "edicts".

Joining Anna Holligan to discuss these and other issues are Rachel Ombaka, Kenya subeditor for The Africa report, a news and current affairs publication covering the continent; and Ryan Heath, senior editor at Politico, the online news publication.
