US intel chiefs grilled amid group chat fallout

A journalist was inadvertently added to a group text about U.S. military plans

The CIA director and the head of US National Intelligence have denied that classified material was shared in an unsecured messaging group where top officials discussed plans for an attack on the Houthis in Yemen. A journalist who'd been added to the group by mistake said detailed plans were shared two hours before the airstrikes. We discuss the fallout from the group chat with European journalists.

It's the seventh night of demonstrations in Turkey - which have grown into the largest the country has seen in more than a decade. More than 1400 people have been arrested, including journalists. We are joined by three Turkish journalists covering the protests in Istanbul.

We also hear from some of the protesters who have been out on the streets since the Turkish demonstrations began.

A war monitor has accused Sudan's military of killing hundreds of people in an air strike on a market in the Darfur region on Monday. Our Africa Regional Editor, Will Ross, has the latest.
