Bondi suspect was Indian citizen

We have the latest on the Bondi beach shooting.

The authorities in India say one of the gunmen who killed 15 people at a Jewish celebration on Bondi Beach was an Indian citizen. Officials say Sajid Akram was originally from Hyderabad, and left for Australia 27 years ago. We have the latest from our correspondent, and we speak to our disinformation specialist.

We also bring together Jews from around the world to share their experiences of antisemitism.

After a year of increased warnings from European leaders about the growing direct threat from Russia, we speak to two BBC security experts.

The BBC has said it will defend itself against a $5bn lawsuit filed by US President Donald Trump over an edit of his 6 January 2021 speech in a Panorama documentary. We speak to our correspondent in Washington.
