We hear from Derry/Londonderry where the coffin bearing Martin McGuinness, IRA man turned peace negotiator, was carried home. We hear of his efforts to assist the Columbian government and FARC rebels in their peace talks. And the US politician George Mitchell, who chaired the talks which led to peace tells us why he came to trust Mr McGuinness. Plus Philip Baum on the laptop hand luggage controversy, Lyce Doucet in Syria and a primer on the Great Repeal Bill. Photo: Martin McGuinness Credit: AFP/Getty Images.
