US teenager has been acquitted of killing two during Kenosha shooting

A US teenager who shot dead two men during racial unrest has been cleared of homicide and all other charges after claiming self-defence.

Plus, Chinese tennis star, Peng Shuai, has gone missing after accusing a former vice premier of rape. 

And, Danish government has asked some Syrian refugees to return to Damascus, claiming it is safe to back. They, however, fear for their well-being. 

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Lone Theils, a Danish writer, crime novelist and journalist, and Peter Hain, a member of the British House of Lords, and former UK government minister for the Labour Party.
