President Trump spoke about American history, accompanied by a row of veterans, in a speech to mark the 250th anniversary of US independence. He also repeatedly mentioned the threat of communism in a veiled attack on his opponents in the Democratic Party. Also on the programme: stormy weather could disrupt a heavyweight clash at the World Cup between co-hosts Mexico and England; and we look at Instagram Plus, the new paid subscription service on the photo and video-sharing network. Presenter Julian Worricker is joined by Timandra Harkness, a British writer, broadcaster and, in her own words, a lapsed comedian, and Jeremy Cliffe, a senior policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations think tank in Berlin.
