Charlie Kirk murder suspect detained

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

A suspect in the murder of US conservative activist Charlie Kirk has been arrested. Tyler Robinson is 22. He was confronted by his father, who recognised pictures of him released by the FBI and, with the help of a pastor, persuaded him to hand himself in. Sir Keir Starmer is facing growing criticism from within the Labour Party after he sacked Lord Mandelson as UK ambassador to the US, with one backbencher saying he "doesn't seem up to the job". And are we too reliant on potentially vulnerable global satellite positioning systems? An industry leader says near misses are more common than you may think.
