Musk: Farage 'doesn't have what it takes' to be Reform UK leader

Elon Musk had been a vocal supporter of the UK politician and his right-wing party

Nigel Farage, the leader of the right-wing Reform UK party, has suggested this was due to a disagreement over the tech billionaire's support for jailed far-right figure Tommy Robinson.

Also on the programme: Ukraine has launched a new offensive in Russia's Kursk region; and we hear from a young Alawite woman in the Syrian city of Homs as the community there feel threatened by a HTS security operation.
