'This will escalate': What next after Charlie Kirk's assassination

The assassination of Charlie Kirk marks more than a shocking act
of political violence - it is a symptom of America’s accelerating
era of violent populism, and it will continue to escalate without
intervention.


That's according to Robert Pape, one of the world’s foremost
experts on political violence, terrorism, and national security
and director of the Chicago Project on Security and
Threats.Roland speaks to Pape about what next after Kirk's
murder, the deeper forces driving America’s unrest and what
lessons other countries in the West should take from it. 


Plus, Venetia speaks to The Telegraph's Samaan Lateef about the
historic protests in Nepal and how Gen Z demonstrators overturned
a government by using new online technology such as Discord and
Chat GPT.
