The race to the White House has officially begun ahead of presidential elections in November. President Joe Biden has criticised Donald Trump, saying the Republican presidential candidate uses the language of Nazi Germany to demonise immigrants. Mr Trump accused the president of fear-mongering.

Also in the programme: the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is making his fourth trip to the Middle East since October; and a hologram of Elvis Presley is coming to the London stage.

Joining presenter Paul Henley are Ivan Vejvoda, a political scientist at the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna and a former foreign policy adviser to two Serbian prime ministers, and Arzu Geybullayeva in Istanbul, who is an Azerbaijani columnist and writer with a special focus on human rights and press freedom in her home country.
