The US is on edge following the fatal shooting of US conservative activist Charlie Kirk - we'll explain who Kirk was, why he was significant, and what the political fallout has been as the search for his killer continues. We'll also cover Israel's strike on Hamas leaders in Qatar and Qatar's importance in the Middle East, the ongoing Jacinta Nampijinpa Price drama in the Liberal Party, and the resolved drama in the Murdoch family...

In what's coming up, it's a feast of sport, Canberra's Floriade festival brings back memories, and arrr, it's Talk Like a Pirate Day....
