Trump dismantles Voice of America

US President Donald Trump has signed an order to strip back federally funded news organisation Voice of America.

US President Donald Trump has signed an order to strip back the federally funded news organisation Voice of America, accusing it of being "anti-Trump" and "radical". We hear from three journalists from countries which rank among the lowest on the Press Freedom Index for what life is like for them.

The BBC's Balkans Correspondent Guy de Launey gives the latest on the nightclub fire disaster in North Macedonia, from the small town of Kocani, where the fire happened.

We hear more as tens of thousands of demonstrators have protested in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, against Saturday's deadly US airstrikes.
