Protesters rally against Trump in the US

Thousands are protesting across the US in response to President Trump's recent policies.

Protests erupted across the US in response to Donald Trump’s policies, with over 1,200 “Hands Off” rallies planned for Saturday. Demonstrators rallied against Trump’s foreign policy, including his interest in Greenland and Canada, chanting "hands off." In Boston, some protests were most concerned about the ongoing immigration raids and deportations.

Also in the programme: One week on, the deadly earthquake in Myanmar has claimed over 3,000 lives, and Branford Marsalis, the American saxophonist, shares the story behind his new album "Belonging".

Joining presenter Julian Worricker are Jane Kinninmont, a Policy and Impact Director at the European Leadership Network, and Anton Spisak, an Associate Fellow at the Centre for European Reform.
