The World Tonight

Available for over a year

US Republicans are asking more questions of the Secret Service after another apparent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Trump was golfing in Florida when one of his Secret Service agents noticed a rifle muzzle in a bush and opened fire towards it. The suspected gunman was later apprehended, 58-year-old Ryan Routh has been charged with firearm offences. Junior doctors in England have accepted the government’s offer of a 22% pay rise over two years, bringing to an end an 18-month dispute that saw them take part in 11 separate strikes. And as psychiatrists warn of an uptick in ketamine addiction among young people, one mother recounts losing her son to the drug.
