SpaceX Starship launches then explodes

The world's most powerful space vehicle ever built - Elon Musk's Starship rocket - successfully launched before exploding above the Gulf of Mexico. Engineers still class the launch as a success, and say they will review the data collected as they work towards the next test. We hear the key moments of the launch.

Also on the programme, we hear how everyday mistakes have been met by gunfire in the US: Two high school cheerleaders were shot after one of them mistakenly tried to enter the wrong vehicle, Ralph Yarl was shot after ringing the wrong doorbell, and Kaylin Gillis was shot last weekend after a friend drove down the wrong driveway. We hear reaction to these shootings and what American's are feeling about their country.

And after nearly a week of fighting between rival military factions in Sudan, we continue to hear from people affected by the violence.

And we hear from a former employee of a big tech company who says that despite her high salary, she had very little work to do!
