2024/05/21 16:06 GMT: German group on trial for coup plot

BBC World Service - BBC OS, German group on trial for coup plot

Court hears evidence about a far-right plot to overthrow the German government

A Frankfurt court hears evidence about a far-right plot to overthrow the German government

We go to Germany where a trial hears the case against the alleged ringleaders of a far-right plot to overthrow the German government. The suspects are part of what's called the Reichsbürger movement that rejects the post-war German state. Our BBC Berlin correspondent is covering the high profile trial.

Also on the programme, we get the latest from Bangkok where a Singapore Airlines flight had to be diverted after severe turbulence. One person has died and several were injured on the London to Singapore flight. We hear from our correspondent, an aviation expert, and passengers onboard the plane.

And, over the past few weeks the world of beauty pageants has been put firmly in the spotlight after both Miss USA and Miss Teen USA abdicated their positions amid accusations of unprofessional behaviour, workplace bullying and harassment from management. We speak to three contestants about their experiences in beauty pageants.

We go to the US to the criminal trial of Donald Trump.  The defence has rested its case in without calling the former president to give evidence. The BBC's reporter is at the courthouse.

Presenter: James Reynolds
