Bangladesh: High Security alert issued for the whole country
Manage episode 429572014 series 2915873
A High Security Alert has been issued for the whole of Bangladesh, as violent clashes between students and police continue. The capital Dhaka is in the midst of a near-total internet blackout, with phone lines also down. On Thursday evening, several thousand protestors stormed the state broadcaster BTV, vandalising furniture, smashing windows and lights and setting parts of it on fire. We speak to Ali Riaz, Professor at the Department of Politics and Government at Illinois State University.
Angel City FC has become the world's most expensive women's sports team following a $250m takeover. The Los Angeles-based side have been taken over by a US couple, Willow Bay and Bob Iger - he's the CEO of the Walt Disney Company – and they will become the new controlling owners of the club. Their star player Christen Press gives her reaction.
Also, in the programme, we talk about a new minimum wage in Nigeria and look at the final day of the 2024 Republican National Convention in the US city of Milwaukee.
