Should Steve Bannon Be Given a Platform?
We discuss whether Steve Bannon should have been given a platform at a media conference in Edinburgh.
Nuala McGovern is at the News Xchange media event in Edinburgh, where an interview session with Steve Bannon has just ended. Some people say the former White House strategist should not have been given a platform but others say he should be heard in the name of free speech. Nuala and her guests discuss. Another topic at the conference is activism around journalism, and Nuala has been speaking to a teacher and a student who survived the shooting at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting in the US.
Also today; latest on the crucial UK Cabinet meeting on Brexit.
And an interview with Cameroonian TV journalist Mimi Mefo Takambo who was arrested last week after sharing reports on social media alleging that the military was behind the death of an American missionary. The charges have now been dropped.
