■ Gun control: How a US liberal learned to love guns. Freelance writer Dan Baum is a self-described gun guy. But even though he has 15 firearms locked in a cabinet in his garage and loves an outing at the shooting range, he does not exactly fit the stereotype. "I am a Jewish, liberal Democrat and a gun guy," he says, "which in the US is a very weird hybrid." The writer, who grew up in New Jersey and now lives in Colorado, says he is representative of millions of ordinary gun-owning Americans. He wants both sides of the gun control debate - the politicians who want background checks as well as the National Rifle Association, which opposes new regulations - to listen to what these "average gun guys" want. For his new book Gun Guys: A Road Trip, Mr Baum travelled across the US and met a variety of gun owners, from those blasting automatic weapons in the desert to a school teacher hunting pigs. He talked to the BBC about his attempt to explain his own and Americans' fascination with firearms. Produced by Anna Bressanin, Images by Ilya Shnitser

■ Eye in the Sky: Protests against drone use hit New York. Washington's overseas drone strikes and their surveillance use at home has long attracted the attention of activists. Groups across the U.S. political spectrum say the strikes breach American law and hurt the country's international standing. Now a month-long anti-drone campaign has kicked off, with a protest in Manhattan RT's Marina Portnaya reports.
■ Fear Factory: New bird flu strain a genuine or bogus threat? China and neighbouring countries are mobilising resources to fight off a new strain of bird flu. Six people have now died from the disease, out of the ten infected so far. This has sparked concern it could become endemic. It's not the first time such panic has swept the country. Bird and swine flu have both emerged in recent years, seemingly causing more concern in the press than in hospitals. RT's Alexey Yaroshevsky's reports.
■ Torture Shamer: UK army in spotlight as Iraq war vets blow whistle. U.S. troops may be out of Iraq, but allegations of military misconduct and abuse have followed them home.

■ Murder By Neglect? 'Palestinians suffer in Israeli jails from medical apathy'. The West Bank city of Hebron has been flooded with thousands of those coming to attend the funeral of a former Palestinian Security officer, who died while in Israeli custody. His death has triggered a wave of riots and clashes between Palestinians and Israeli forces which resulted in two teenagers being killed by the soldiers. RT's Irina Galushko has been at the funeral procession, which was later followed by street scuffles. Also, for more RT talks to Palestinian human rights advocate Dr Mazin Qumsiyeh.
