The US airman Jack Teixeira has appeared in court in Boston accused of being behind the leak of dozens of classified documents to an online chat group.
Also in the programme: we hear from our reporter in Israel, where Orthodox Easter celebrations are taking place in Jerusalem amid complaints by local Christians of a rise in hostility.
And as US President Joe Biden concludes his official visit to Ireland with a speech to thousands, we'll hear more about the deal signed 25 years ago that made peace possible.
Joining Gary O'Donoghue to discuss these and other stories are Karen Von Hippel, director-general of the Royal United Services Institute, and Alan Posener, a columnist from the German newspaper Die Welt.
