Pentagon: Firing squad execution to be livestreamed

Available for 26 days

The US Defence Department is coming under increasing criticism for its plan to livestream the execution by firing squad of a man convicted of killing 13 unarmed soldiers. It is believed it would be the first public execution in the US in almost a century. We hear from three people who have witnessed executions. There has been a significant increase in number of people, buildings and critical infrastructure that are at risk of major Himalayan disasters, similar to the one Nepal was hit with on August 26, a new study has warned. We speak to our environment reporter. An official review in England has found there is a risk of people being over-diagnosed with ADHD and autism. We speak to experts. Presenter: James Reynolds.
