Trump defends sharing sensitive information with Russia

BBC Radio 4 - The World Tonight, Trump defends sharing sensitive information with Russia

How damaging could Trump's sharing of classified information be for US security?

In-depth reporting and analysis from a global perspective.

As US President Donald Trump comes out to defend his sharing of highly classified information with the Russian foreign minister we speak to a former US ambassador of Israel to assess the potential damage to US security. We hear about a new science centre in Jordan which is uniting scientists from all over the Middle East. And has Labour's manifesto been properly "costed" or does its perceived lack of economic competency means it faces extra scrutiny? We speak to former Labour City Minister, Lord Myners.

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