Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was booed by crowd members on his arrival at a memorial service held to honour the victims of last week's Bondi Beach terror attack. Mr Albanese has called for a security review following the attack on a Hanukkah event, but his government has faced criticism from within the Australian Jewish community for not doing enough to combat antisemitism. We bring you the latest from Sydney. Also in the programme: Former Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels explains why Republican attempts to gerrymander congressional seats in his state have stalled; and we examine the role of Russian mercenaries in the rise of the Sahel's military dictatorships. Joining Krupa Padhy to discuss this and more are the writer, broadcaster and actor Alex Andreou, and independent journalist Isabel Woodford.
