President Trump has announced that the main suspect in the assassination of the US conservative activist Charlie Kirk, named as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, has been caught. We get the latest from the US and talk to a political historian about the recent upsurge in political violence in America. Also in the programme: Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro has been found guilty of plotting a coup and sentenced to 27 years in prison - we hear from one of his former ministers; and what are the little red dots in space? Could they be “black hole stars”?
