Turkey experiences biggest unrest in a decade
Turkey's interior ministry says 1,133 people have been detained after days of protests against the arrest last week of Istanbul's popular mayor, Ekrem Imamoglu, on corruption charges. More than 70 demonstrators were detained overnight outside Istanbul. Police also arrested a number of left-wing politicians, lawyers and at least 10 journalists in pre-dawn raids.
Also in the programme: US negotiators are meeting their Russian counterparts in Saudi Arabia, as part of Donald Trump's push for a quick end to the war in Ukraine; and the DNA testing firm 23andMe has filed for bankruptcy protection in the US - so could customers' genetic data get into the wrong hands?
