In-depth reporting and analysis from a global perspective. A special edition of the programme from Washington, presented by Ritula Shah.

The US Presidential race now looks increasingly like a battle between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

But what would President Trump or President Clinton do about the big foreign policy issues facing the United States? 

Multi-dimensional war in Syria; Putin flexing his muscles in Russia; Beijing's territorial claims in the South China Sea.

These headaches and more await the next occupant of the White House. 

Ritula Shah chairs a discussion with a panel of experts at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
