Episode notes

Around 150 protesters descended on Trump Tower today in protest of the arrest and detainment of Mahmoud Khalil, a student who organised a pro-Palestine demonstration.   

US correspondents James Matthews and Mark Stone discuss why this case is a test for the Trump administration which cuts to the heart of America’s values on immigration, free speech and the rule of law. 

They also discuss what progress has been made towards a Ukraine-Russia ceasefire deal, as Putin speaks out. Plus, should Americans say goodbye to Italian prosecco?
