At least 12 people have been killed and 309 injured in an attack on Saturday at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
A statement from Yemen's Houthis statement on Sunday warned all airline companies not to use Saudi airports, without referencing Saturday's attack. The Iran-backed group said they were behind separate strikes on the same airport on Thursday. How will the Saudi authorities respond? And what does it tell us about Houthi tactics?
Also in the programme: The Cockroach Janta Party protests have resumed in India after arrests yesterday; the Pope, the church, and the ethics of AI; and Man City's first game after they were found guilty of financial rules - which they maintain their innocence from - is in Liverpool today - is it a grudge match for the ages?
