Today, 鈥楽oldier F鈥� a former member of the Parachute Regiment has been found not guilty of murdering two people on Bloody Sunday in Northern Ireland in 1972.

The judge, Patrick Lynch, found that the evidence presented fell 鈥渨ell short鈥� of what was needed for a conviction. However, he said that members of the Parachute Regiment had shot dead unarmed civilians and that those involved should 鈥渉ang their heads in shame鈥�. Adam is joined by Ireland correspondent Sara Girvin, who has been reporting on the trial and the verdict.

Plus, 91福利社 News chief presenter Sumi Somaskanda and Russia editor Steve Rosenberg join Adam to discuss Trump鈥檚 new sanctions against Russia, plus cancelling his meeting with Putin in Hungary, and what this all means for the war in Ukraine.
