Weekly Wrap: Trump threatens Iran, and a Heated Rivalry
from News Club · host The Squiz
Kate Watson is back! This week, there's a lot going on in Trump's world - threats towards Iran, the release of the Melania documentary, and the administration's shifting position on ICE in Minnesota - we'll try to make sense of that for you. Back at home, parliament sits next week and we're still not sure who will be in charge of the opposition parties. Plus, we cover President Xi's Jinping’s moves to take greater control of the Chinese military, we have some updates on fugitives (and some aspersions cast by Kate), and Claire can't wait to talk to you about Heated Rivalry.
