White House press dinner shooting suspect due in court

About this episode

The episode discusses the court appearance of a suspect in a shooting incident during the White House correspondents' dinner and features insights on Ukraine's military actions and a marathon runner's achievement.

The suspect detained in connection with the attack at the hotel where President Trump was attending the White House correspondents’ dinner in Washington over the weekend is expected in court. Also on the programme: Ukraine's drone forces commander tells us they are killing 30,000 Russian soldiers a month and will continue to attack Russia's oil exports; and we hear from the man who came second in the London Marathon - but who also broke the iconic sub-two-hour barrier.
