Burnham says he is prepared to call out Trump 'if right for Britain'

Weekend

Available for 29 days

Britain's new prime minister, Andy Burnham, has said he would publicly oppose US President Donald Trump, if it meant defending the UK's national interest. Also on the programme: police in Germany have named a man they're looking for after a vehicle ploughed into a gay pride event in Berlin, killing at least one person; and the cautious optimism of one Israeli who volunteers to drive Palestinian patients for treatment in Israel. Joining Julian Worricker on the programme's panel are John McTernan, British political strategist and commentator, and Charlotte Leslie, director of the Conservative Middle East Council and a former MP.
