Twenty-five years ago today, four planes flew into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre in New York, into the Pentagon in Washington DC and
into a field in Pennsylvania, after its passengers overpowered the hijackers. Almost 3,000 people died and tens of thousands more were injured. We hear from a survivor.
Also on the programme: fighters from the Houthi movement capture more territory, reportedly taking the whole of Yemen's Red Sea Coast; and why El Nino is thought to be suppressing hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean

Also in the programme: We hear from former White House chief strategist, Steve Bannon about the legacy of Charlie Kirk as well as the dangers of AI; and a royal succession dispute in Uganda's Tooro Kingdom.
