The attacks were described by France's then President, Francois Hollande, as an "act of war" organised by the Islamic State (IS) militant group, and they left 130 people dead and hundreds wounded.

Also on the programme: a new documentary analyses Hitler's DNA for the very first time - we speak to the expert who studied his genetic make up; and Sri Lanka's cricket team continue their tour of Pakistan despite security concerns.

The Democrat Party is no longer the centrist institution of the past, and because of that, the midterms will be unlike any in recent memory.
Donald Trump’s path to victory for the GOP in 2026 is clear: sustain a growing economy while facing opposition determined to stall it. Victor Davis Hanson explains how the Left’s strategy seeks to slow momentum before voters can see the full recovery and what steps the Trump administration needs to take to fight back on this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
“ Donald Trump is in a race to get the message out that the economy is much better than the Biden economy. It's going to get much better. And don't believe the media because the media, like the Democratic shutdown, like the Federal Reserve, this artificial efforts to keep interest rates high are politically motivated. But if everything works out the way that he had planned and he does the right thing, right around midterm time, the economy's gonna take off.”
