BBC World Service - BBC OS, US President Joe Biden denies memory loss

A special council in the United States has reignited speculation about Biden’s memory.

The US President Joe Biden was found to have “wilfully retained and disclosed classified materials” but will not face charges. The report containing this finding was written by a special council and it reignited speculations about the President’s memory loss. The council said he came across as an “elderly man with a poor memory”.
We hear from Democratic voters if they think President Biden is still up to leading their country. Our correspondent assesses the situation and the reaction from the international community. 

We also hear from our correspondent on the elections in Pakistan, where Independents backed by jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan, seem to have won the most seats in the general election. 

A radio station in the US state of Alabama had to stop transmitting, as their 200-foot tall mast was stolen. We hear from the station on why someone would steal a radio mast.
