Charlie Hebdo: 14 suspects on trial over Paris massacre

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

Survivors of the Islamist attacks on the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and a Jewish supermarket five years ago are in court in Paris to see fourteen alleged accomplices go on trial. A lawyer, Patrick Klugman, said the victims firmly believed the trial was of the utmost importance.  Seventeen people were killed by three gunmen, who were shot dead by police.

And scientists say they've detected the merger of two huge black holes -- sending a shockwave across the universe.
