Hello. Today we take a look at what we know about Luigi Mangione, the man charged with the murder of a health insurance CEO in New York City. BBC Marathi's Janhavee Moole hears concerns about India's multi-million infrastructure project on an island in the Bay of Bengal. We also cover the latest from Syria, media mogul Rupert Murdoch's unsuccessful "Succession" fight, and Google's new quantum computing chip. Finally, we inspect a 1,500-year old tablet inscribed with the Ten Commandments that's a prized item at Sotheby's.

A manhunt for the killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City last week has ended with a 26-year-old charged with murder. Luigi Mangione was taken into custody at a McDonald's in the town of Altoona, Pennsylvania, about 280 miles (450km) west of New York City. A McDonald's customer in Altoona recognised the suspect from media coverage and alerted an employee, who then tipped off the police. Mr Mangione was the valedictorian at his private, all-boys high school in Baltimore, Maryland. A former classmate said he came from a wealthy family, adding: “Quite honestly, he had everything going for him.”

• The arrest: Investigators revealed that finding Mr Mangione was a complete surprise, as they did not have his name on a list of suspects before Monday.

• Health insurance: Reaction to Thompson's murder has exposed a simmering rage against the trillion-dollar industry.

• Recovered weapon: A search of Mr Mangione's backpack uncovered what police called a "ghost gun". In 2023, Nada Tawfik reported on America's fastest-growing firearm problem.

Assad regime officials wanted for torture

Syria’s main Islamist rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham has said authorities will list former regime officials who oversaw torture under Bashar al-Assad’s rule and will offer rewards for information about officers involved in war crimes. This follows reports of the discovery of 40 bodies showing signs of torture in a hospital morgue in Damascus. Meanwhile, rescue workers have ended their search for possible detainees in secret cells or basements at Saydnaya military prison without finding anyone.

India is planning a multi-billion ‘Hong Kong-like’ development project on the Great Nicobar Island, one of the largest and most secluded parts of the Nicobar archipelago. The scheme, BBC Marathi's Janhavee Moole reports, has sparked alarm among islanders who fear the loss of their land, culture, and way of life.
