Interviews, news and analysis of the day’s global events.

Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh from London were captured in Syria in January. They are accused of being Islamic State members. They've complained they will not get a fair trial  because the UK government has stripped them of their citizenship. We hear about the legal complications to bring them to justice.

Also in the programme:  The heavyweight title fight of the year, Britain's Anthony Joshua steps into the ring to face New Zealander Joseph Parker. And the funeral of the physicist Stephen Hawking who died two weeks ago.
