Christian Martyrs

Were 90,000 Christians killed because of their faith in 2016, as claimed by a new report? Also, who is Guccifer 2.0, the mystery hacker of the American Democratic Party emails?

Were 90,000 Christians killed because of their faith in 2016, as claimed by a report by the Centre for the Study of Global Christianity published earlier this month? But another new report from Open Doors, an organisation which helps persecuted Christians, says that 1,207 were killed . How can the numbers be so different and who, if anyone, is right?

Donald Trump has accepted that Russia was responsible for hacking the Democratic Party’s emails. So who is the mysterious Guccifer 2.0 who claims he was behind the hack?

And, why do we feel regret? Is it right to live with this negative emotion, or should we simply get over our mistakes of the past? Mike Williams speaks to a palliative care nurse who recorded the regrets of the dying.
