About this episode
The episode discusses the controversies surrounding the World Cup and Donald Trump's recent statements and actions.
The World Cup. It's kicked off. Except no fanfare, little pre-match hype and plenty of controversy. The finger pointed at the US government. We're in Boston taking the temperature ahead of Scotland vs Haiti. Plus, strikes across Iran and a promise to take Iranian territory. At least, that was Thursday morning's promise by Donald Trump. Cue another U-turn. Now it's all talk of deals and ceasefires from the capricious commander-in-chief. Is this for real? Or is all of it rubbish? And ahead of Trump's birthday on Sunday, we get a sneak peek at the cage fighting arena he’s built on the White House South Lawn. And we take a look at some of the other building work around DC – and try to work out if the bang is worth the buck. You can watch all episodes on our YouTube channel .
