President Joe Biden says the US is working every day to secure the release of the Wall Street Journal reporter, Evan Gershkovich, who was detained in Russia exactly a year ago. In a statement, Mr Biden said he\'d told the journalist\'s parents he would never give up hope, and would continue to denounce the Kremlin for using Americans as "bargaining chips".
Also in the programme: Israel\'s defence minister says his country will pursue Hezbollah wherever the militant group operates, after an attack on Syria; and the UK says it is almost doubling its aid for Sudan.
