Hello to you.
Welcome to News Hour from the BBC World Service coming to you live from London.
I'm Sean Lay.
In the United States, Erica Kirk, the widow of Charlie Kirk,
the prominent conservative political activist who was shot dead during a public event in Utah on Wednesday,
says her grief will become a battle cry across America.
As police questioned 22-year-old Tyler Robinson,
the suspect who was turned into the authorities by his own father,
Erica Kirk spoke from the offices of Turning Point USA,
the conservative organization founded by her late husband.
In a passionate, sometimes tearful address, Mrs. Kirk said the movement would not die with him.
The evildoers responsible for my husband's assassination have no idea what they have done.
They killed Charlie because he preached a message of patriotism, faith, and of God's merciful love.
If you thought that my husband's mission was powerful before,
you have no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country.
You have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife.
The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry.
There's mounting anger on the right about the killing, including among supporters of Donald Trump,
the president credited Charlie Kirk with an outreach operation that helped him attract young voters.
