Biden suffers setback to lift Trump-era asylum ban

A US judge has blocked President Joe Biden's attempt to lift a Donald Trump ban on asylum seekers at the border.

Also, we hear from Cubans attempting the crossing to the US on makeshift boats escaping economic turmoil.

Plus, voting is taking place in Australia's general election, with the opposition hoping to end nine years of conservative rule.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are John Nilsson-Wright, Associate Professor in Modern Japanese Studies at the University of Cambridge & Senior Fellow for Northeast Asia at the London-based research organisation, Chatham House; and Ramita Navai, a British-Iranian film-maker, journalist and author based in London.
