Nepal's major political parties have demanded parliament be reinstated a day after it was dissolved following deadly anti-corruption protests. Anti-government protests this week sparked by a now reversed social media ban saw at least fifty one people killed and more than a thousand injured.
Also on the programme: 100,000 people have joined a far- right march in London featuring violent clashes, calls to send migrants home, and a message of support from Elon Musk; and we'll hear about the three Austrian nuns who have run away from the retirement home to return to their former convent.
