Trump's first cabinet meeting

We bring the latest from Trump's first cabinet meeting.

President Trump is holding his first cabinet meeting since his return to office. The tech billionaire Elon Musk is attending even though he is not officially a cabinet member. We hear some of what the president and Mr Musk have been saying in the meeting.

We look at the situation in Syria nearly three months since Assad’s fall. The country has opened its doors to tourists, and we bring together three tour guides who have been taking tourists around the country.

The Bibas family has said Israeli officials should bear responsibility for the deaths of hostages in Gaza. They've told mourners at the funeral of Shiri and her two young children their lives could have been saved. We speak to our correspondent in Jerusalem.

An Australian couple have spoken of the "traumatic" moment the body of a dead passenger was placed next to them on a Qatar Airways flight. What is it like for cabin crew to deal with this and other traumatic, difficult situations thousands of feet in the air? We speak to two airline workers.

Afghanistan's participation in the Champions Trophy cricket tournament has caused plenty of controversy, with some saying England should have boycotted the match in response to the Taliban's actions in the country. We get reaction from listeners.
