World Monthly
Donald Trump orders his government to dismantle Obama’s climate change policies to boost jobs – vows to cut foreign aid during the world’s worst humanitarian crisis – and the US vows to take unilateral action against North Korea over its nuclear threat. Here in the UK Article 50 has been triggered – and Scotland wants to go it alone. And in Europe France goes to the polls – and there’s concern that a win from far right leaders Marine Le Pen would send financial markets into turmoil. And we’ll be looking at terrorism; was the attack in St. Petersburg a retaliation for Russia’s efforts against the Islamic State in Syria?
The panelists this month are:
Vicky Pryce – economist and former Joint head of the United Kingdom’s government economic service.
Dr James Orr – McDonald Postdoctoral Fellow in Theology, Ethics, and Public Life at Christ Church, University of Oxford
Simon Barrett – Terrorism Expert
Ben Niblett – Senior Campaigner from the Christian international development charity Tearfund
