Plea deal for 9/11 suspects revoked by US Defense Secretary
Families of the victims criticised the plea deal for sparing the imprisoned suspects of the death penalty.
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has revoked a pre-trial agreement reached with men accused of plotting the 11 September terrorist attacks. We speak to a woman who lost her husband in the attacks.
Also on the programme: Tensions are high as Israelis anticipate counterattack from Iran after the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh; and we reflect on one of the stars of the Olympics so far, French swimmer Leon Marchand.
