World Reacts to John Bolton Appointment

BBC Radio 4 - The World Tonight, World Reacts to John Bolton Appointment

President Trump's new national Ssecurity adviser is a longstanding foreign policy hawk.

In-depth reporting and analysis from a global perspective.

We assess the appointment by President Trump of John Bolton as National Security Adviser - one of the most hawkish US politicians of recent years. We hear from Matthew Waxman, Nicholas Burns and Frank Gaffney. Jeremy Corbyn has sacked the Shadow Northern Ireland Secretary, Owen Smith, in a row over Brexit. European leaders have promised coordinated measures against Russia over the poisoning of a former spy in Britain. The Latvian foreign minister tells us why they're planning to expel Russian diplomats. Why is Spain prosecuting its rappers? And when parodies outshine the original books.
