Trump in Alabama

BBC World Service - Weekend, Trump in Alabama

Former US President Donald Trump attended the Alabama Republican Part’s summer meeting, calling the charges against him a legal and constitutional travesty.

Also on the programme: The UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has announced a major investment into oil drilling in the North Sea but promises to still hit net zero by 2050. And the Koran has been burnt again on Swedish streets, but why is the Islamic community angry and shouldn’t they be?

Joining Paul Henley to discuss all this and more is Nigar Goksel in Istanbul, Turkey project director for the International Crisis Group - an independent conflict prevention organization, and George Parker, political editor of the Financial Times newspaper.
