Can China work with Trump's World Bank pick?  New party leader charged in Thailand

Can China work with President Trump's pick to be the new head of the World Bank?

Also in the programme, the leader of a new party that did well in Thailand's recent election has been charged with sedition by the military authorities.

And a new BBC film that examines the ongoing sense of trauma felt in post-conflict Iraq.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Yu Jie, China research fellow at the Royal Institute of International Affairs, and Alex Andreou, Greek-born actor, writer and theatre director.
