Summary

In the United States hundreds of thousands of people have taken part in nationwide demonstrations against President Trump's policies; the so-called No Kings protests want to send the message that Donald Trump is not a king and to stand against his crackdown on undocumented migrants, the deployment of National Guard troops, and cuts to federal jobs. Also, the remains of two Israeli hostages are back in the country after being handed over by Hamas to the International Red Cross, thousands of people in Kenya have attended the final public send-off for Raila Odinga, one of the country's most influential political leaders; and the man who discovered his father had once been the heir to one of the richest Jewish families in Germany, before their fortune was stolen by the Nazis.
