Tonight's story takes us to Lahore, Pakistan: on January 27, 2011, CIA contractor Raymond Allen Davis found himself in a brutal firefight in traffic.

Goo Goo Dolls formed in 1986 in Buffalo, New York, and by the time 1998 rolled around, they’d already had a pretty successful career. They’d released five albums, and one of their songs, “Name,” from 1995, had become a Top 10 hit. But things really changed for them when they made the song “Iris.” It originally came out on the soundtrack for the movie City of Angels, which came out in 1998 and starred Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan.
“Iris” spent a record-breaking 18 weeks at number one on the radio, and became one of the best selling songs of all time, with over 14 million copies sold, and over 4.5 billion streams. So for this episode, John Rzeznik of Goo Goo Dolls came over to my place, and he told me about how he wrote the song. He told me how the Grammy-winning producer Rob Cavallo helped them expand their vision, and how the version of the song in the movie isn’t actually the version that everybody knows.

Marketplace All-in-One - Supreme Court green lights Trump’s federal layoff plans
The high court has cleared the way for the Trump administration to plan out mass layoffs across the government. It's somewhat of a confounding decision, though, in that it appears to say two things at once: the job cuts can proceed, but they may or may not be legal. We'll discuss the implications. And later: Investors take a wait-and-see approach on tariffs, copper futures hit an all-time high, and teachers ramp up their AI skills.
Newshour - Sheikh Hasina caught on tape authorising shooting of protesters
A BBC investigation has found that the former prime minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, authorised her security forces to use lethal force against protestors last summer. The evidence is a leaked tape verified by the BBC. An estimated 1,400 people were killed and 12,000 injured during the student protests against a new law restricting access to government jobs.
Also in the programme: has Donald Trump lost his patience with Vladimir Putin – and how is the Russian president responding? And as it’s announced that the Bayeux Tapestry will be loaned to the UK next year, more than 900 years after its creation, we ask: is it actually coming home?
