A Saudi man suspected of carrying out a deadly attack on a Christmas market in the German city of Magdeburg has been remanded in custody. Taleb al-Abdulmohsen is facing multiple charges of murder and attempted murder.

Also on the programme: we speak to a mother who has been on hunger strike for more than 80 days to protest against her son's detention in an Egyptian prison; and why some squirrels are becoming carnivorous.

Joining Gary O'Donoghue to discuss this and more are Gaia Vince, British environmental journalist and author, and Fola Aina, an international security and development policy expert affiliated to SOAS at the University of London.
