BBC World Service - Weekend, 'A new era' for the US after abortion decision?

Former Trump official hails 'new era' for the US after abortion decision

As former president Donald Trump hails the overturning of abortion rights as a conservative triumph, a former Trump administration official says America has entered a new era.

Former US president Donald Trump has hailed the overturning of the right to abortion by the Supreme Court as a triumph for conservative values.

One of the officials who served in his administration tells us that America has entered a new era.

Also on the programme: The Wimbledon lawn tennis championships start tomorrow, but without Russian and Belarusian players. Was it right that they were banned?

On the panel discussing the news of the week are Hannah White, deputy director of the Institute for Government think tank in London and Matthew Karnitschnig, chief Europe correspondent for the Politico news website.
