Newsday

Available for 29 days

President Trump has described the friendship between the United States and the United Kingdom as “unlike any other on Earth”. The remarks were made during a state dinner at the White House for King Charles and Queen Camilla. Earlier King Charles said the bond between the two nations was more important than ever. A social media post by the former director of the FBI, James Comey, has led to him being charged with threatening the life of US President Donald Trump. Can such a charge stand up in court? And the United Arab Emirates exits the oil producing grouping OPEC - we look at at the significance of this move. Presenters: James Copnall and Anne Soy (Photo: King Charles III and President Donald Trump at the State Dinner for the King and Queen Camilla, at the White House in Washington DC.
