Sudan's military rulers have condemned a drone strike on a mosque in El Fasher city in Darfur that it says killed more than 70 people and blamed the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces for the attack. The leaders said targeting the people who were performing dawn prayers is a crime that shames humanity. The RSF has been fighting to take over the city from the army, as the civil war in Sudan rages. Newshour hears from a doctor who went to the mosque in the aftermath of the attack.
Also in the programme: the Taliban removes books written by women from universities; and Estonia requests urgent NATO consultations over a violation of its airspace by Russian jets.

A 30 second video clip shows a boat bobbing in the water.
Then, a fireball and a huge plume of smoke.
President Trump posted the footage on social media this week, saying he ordered the U-S military to attack what Trump called “narcoterrorists from Venezuela.”
It’s at least the second time this month that President Trump has ordered this sort of a deadly strike on a boat that he claims carried illegal drugs.
It's an example of the new ways Trump is deploying military force. The President has used the National Guard in American cities.
Do the strikes on Venezuelan vessels signal a new way of using the military abroad, and is it legal?
Universities have long been captured by liberal academics, and the fight for America's youth on campus at times feels hopeless. What made Charlie Kirk effective was that he did not run from that problem but ran head-on into it.
Victor Davis Hanson explains this key aspect of Charlie Kirk’s legacy, emphasizing how his approach was effective, and what our job is now to carry on his mission in saving our country from the campus on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
“He did not go in the traditional academic pathway. He dropped out of college at 18. And he had to live by his wits, not in the artificial bubble of academia or the la-la land of the campus, where there are no consequences to behavior. … He learned to organize and galvanize people in a practical way.
“And he said, ‘The universities are training generation after generation after generation in this seriously dangerous leftist dogma.’ In other words, if you're worried about this bizarre transgender movement, this cult-like effort to have biological men compete in women's sports, to take one example; or you're worried about the idea that you can steal $950 and not be prosecuted; or if you think that race is essential and not incidental to who you are—where did these things come from? And he said they came from the campus.”

Earlier this week, ABC’s late-night show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" was suspended indefinitely by parent company Disney after Kimmel made remarks about Charlie Kirk's death. The announcement came after the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr, suggested the FCC could pull the broadcast licenses of ABC-owned stations, and the owners of some of these stations said they were dropping Kimmel's show. President Donald Trump has said that broadcast networks that are “against” him might have their licenses taken away. WSJ's Maggie Severns reports on Carr's approach to the FCC and how it has led to Kimmel's suspension. Ryan Knutson hosts.
P.M. Edition for Sept. 19. Since the U.S. government spends about $1 trillion annually on interest for its debt, a lower interest rate should reduce those costs… right? WSJ tax policy reporter Richard Rubin discusses why the answer is more complex than it may initially seem. Plus, President Trump announced today that he and Chinese leader Xi Jinping have reached a deal over TikTok’s U.S. operations. We hear from the Journal’s tech policy reporter Amrith Ramkumar about what we know about the deal, including which American investors are getting involved. And in the midst of an artificial intelligence boom, the lowly hard drive is making a comeback. Investors are starting to take notice, but as WSJ Heard on the Street writer Asa Fitch explains, hard drive companies’ future prospects could be even greater. Alex Ossola hosts.

There seems to be an ironic discordance among folks that, let’s just say, didn’t share Charlie Kirk’s points of view. They claim that ‘it’s time to move on’ even when faced with a vigil being held by co-workers. Such was the case of the US House of Representatives minority party leader Hakeem Jeffries who, when asked why he didn’t attend a Congressional vigil quipped; “I had a meeting.” Or take combative positions like Virginia Speaker Don Scott who responded to Governor Youngkin who echoed a question we asked on these pages. “Is Abigail Spanberger going to denounce the ‘Nazi’ comment made by one of her supports, Chesterfield School Board Member ‘Dot’ Heffron. Scott’s social media response has since been edited but the original still exists and reads: “Spare us the sanctimonious selective outrage — you should be ashamed of yourself. You said nothing when a sitting GOP member of the Va House of Delegates said ‘Democrats killed [Charlie] Kirk’ — a blatant lie that was never corrected even after learning a Trump supporter actually killed him. Thank God, this Governor and his hateful politics will be gone in 120 days.”
The edited version now reads; “…. a blatant lie that was never corrected even after learning he was shot by a man from a family of Trump supporters.” Certainly much better. The member of the House he was referring to was Delegate Nick Freitas who posted “the other side murdered him” Delegate Freitas joins us to take us much further into this and what needs to happen next.
