    What happens if Trump leaves NATO?

    02/04/2026 | 1h 1 mins.
    Trump has threatened to pull the US out of NATO over lack of support shown for his attack on Iran. Have we reached a point where we need to treat his words with some level of plausibility? And if so, what happens if he pulls the trigger and withdraws the US from the NATO alliance?
    Kanye West has announced three headline dates at Wireless Festival in London in July. Ed Davey has called on the government to ban him from coming to the country and performing at the festival. Should he be banned on account of his antisemitism? And how do we respond to his claims that bipolar disorder affects his behaviour?

    Is it time to make a deal with Iran?

    01/04/2026 | 1h 2 mins.
    In an address to the nation, Keir Starmer has set out his two priorities in response to the war in Iran: deescalation and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. So, is it time for us to make a deal with Iran? And if negotiation isn’t on the table, what are our other options?
    LBC’s Washington Correspondent Simon Marks joins James in the studio ahead of this evening's presidential primetime address. Should we be taking Donald Trump seriously when he says that he is strongly considering pulling out of NATO? And should we believe his claims that the US could ‘finish the job’ in Iran in two weeks?

    Trump’s war in Iran: how does it end?

    31/03/2026 | 57 mins.
    As oil prices hit above $112 a barrel, the IMF has warned that the United Kingdom will be left particularly vulnerable to the impact of the war in Iran. We’re left to ask - how does the war end? And with the media and right-wing politicians diverting blame for the price of petrol to Keir Starmer - what would an end to the war look like for the UK?
    Keir Starmer has given the BMA 48 hours to call off their planned six-day strike, or else face losing 1000 extra training places. Whose side are you on: the doctors’ or the governments’?
    Noga Tarnopolsky reports from Jerusalem where public support for the war with Iran remains high but has dropped since the start of the conflict.
