Russian investigators say the number of people killed in the attack by gunmen on a concert hall near Moscow on Friday has risen to 115. They said more bodies had been found in parts of Crocus City Hall where the ceiling had collapsed because of a huge fire. Eleven suspects have been arrested. Islamic State have claimed responsibility for the attack. Also in the programme: a new national security law, known as Article 23, has come into force in Hong Kong; and we speak to Phil Manzanera, guitarist for the English rock band Roxy Music.
