Women linked to Islamic State arrested returning to Australia

Three women with links to the jihadist Islamic State group have been arrested on returning home to Australia following years in detention in Syria.

Also on the programme, Newshour goes to Baltimore to speak to families affected by the 2024 bridge collapse and now avoiding deportation, and protests against the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine rock the Venice Biennale.
