from The News Quiz · host BBC Radio 4

This week we'll be looking at Trump's Board of Peace and asking whether Trump is bored of peace. We'll be working out how China managed to afford to get on the central London property ladder with their new mega-embassy, and hoping that a clever cow who can use a tool to scratch its back can up its game and sort out global diplomacy before it's too late. Joining Andy to help make sense of all the madness is Lucy Porter, Alasdair Beckett-King, Stephen Bush and Shappi Khorsandi.Written by Andy Zaltzman.With additional material by: Christina Riggs, Cameron Loxdale, Ruth Husko and Dee Allum.Producer: Georgia KeatingExecutive Producer: James RobinsonProduction Coordinator: Giulia Lopes MazzuSound Editor: Marc WillcoxA BBC Studios Production for Radio 4.
