Islamic State group claims responsibility for Moscow attack
Russian authorities label Moscow concert attack, which left 60 dead, a terrorist attack.
President Vladimir Putin has wished the victims of the attack a "speedy recovery". Sixty people died in Crocus City Hall in Krasnogorsk, near Moscow, on Friday evening and the US says it had received warnings of a planned terrorist attack in Moscow and had warned people not to join public gatherings in Russia.
Also in the programme: Sudan is still facing a hunger crisis as the civil war continues; and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken meets the Israeli prime minister again and asks Benjamin Netanyahu not to launch a planned ground attack in Rafah - the southern city hosting more than a million displaced Palestinians.
Joining presenter Julian Worricker are Jonathan Cohen, director of an NGO called Conciliation Resources, and Sanam Naraghi Anderlini, the founder and CEO of the International Civil Society Action Network (ICAN).
