| | | Hello. The suspect in Saturday's White House correspondents' dinner shooting has appeared in court to face three charges, including attempting to assassinate US President Donald Trump. In Ukraine, Southern and Eastern Europe correspondent Sarah Rainsford was taken to a secret bunker to meet the man running the country's drone operations. And as King Charles arrives in the US, take a look at pictures from some of his past visits. | | | | | | |

Credit: Reuters | | During a short court hearing, shooting suspect Cole Tomas Allen did not enter a plea to any of the charges he faces. If found guilty, the 31-year-old could face life in prison. He'll next appear in court on Thursday for a detention hearing. Amid security concerns over what happened at the event, Trump is "standing by the leadership" of the Secret Service, a White House official told the BBC. However, in a briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt did not rule out possible changes to security protocols, with a meeting set to take place later this week. She also raised the spectre of rising political violence and blamed rhetoric from Trump's detractors for the shooting. Many Democrats accuse Trump and his administration of being responsible for similarly divisive rhetoric. | | | | | | | | |

| | | Ukraine's drone commander has Russian oil, troops and morale in his sights | | | Before the war, Brovdi was a well-off grain dealer with a sideline as an art collector. | | Ukraine's drone forces make up just 2% of the country's military, but according to their commander, they account for a third of all targets destroyed. Drones are being used to target Russia's oil export facilities, kill soldiers and weaken morale, says Commander Robert Brovdi, who claims his forces are holding back Russia's advance. | | | | | | Sarah Rainsford, Southern and Eastern Europe correspondent | | | | | | The commander of all Ukraine's unmanned systems wages war in the skies from a secret location deep underground. We're taken to meet him in a van with blacked out windows, then led down stairs and along corridors lined with sleeping pods to emerge into a high-tech cavern covered in screens from floor to ceiling.
Brovdi hopes a high military casualty rate, combined with giant fires burning at oil export facilities deep beyond the border, can create "a certain ferment" within Russia. His aim, with every drone, is to make more Russians question the war their country is fighting and the president who started it. | | | | | | |
