Coming up, we've got a special report from a Mexican city which has been turned into a war zone by drug cartel violence.

Cuba says it's killed four people travelling in an American-registered speedboat and a new daily single tablet that could help long-term survivors of HIV.

Also in this podcast, the BBC investigates last year's deadly crackdown on Nepal's Gen Z protests.

And what would your last words be?

We hear from the creator of a Netflix series where celebrities record messages to be played after they die.

We're starting with a special report from Mexico following the death this week of one of the country's most wanted drug lords known as El Mencho.

He was killed on Sunday in an operation to arrest him and his death has led to violence across the country.

We've had standoffs between the drug gangs and the Mexican army.

Businesses have been torched and roads blockaded with the government coming under increasing pressure from Donald Trump to do more to control the cartels.

There are also the constant battles within the drug gangs themselves for control.
