King Charles to address US congress

King Charles expected to call for 鈥渞econciliation and renewal鈥 between US and UK.

On his US state visit, King Charles III will address both houses of congress later. He will be the first British monarch to do so since Queen Elizabeth did the same in 1991. We hear from a congressman about whether the visit could help warm UK-US relations amid tension due to the Iran war.

Also on the programme: The latest on Mali as violence there continues to spread between jihadist militants and separatists; the United Arab Emirates is set to quit the oil cartel Opec on 1st聽May; and we hear from the parents of Kenyan runner Sabastian Sawe - who broke the world record at this weekend鈥檚 London Marathon.
