Trump to Congress: America is back

US President Donald Trump addressed a joint session of Congress six weeks after beginning his second term in office. In addition to listing his achievements while in office, he made a teenager a US Secret Service agent and reaffirmed his desire for Greenland to become part of the US.

Also on the programme, Arab leaders have agreed on a post-war reconstruction plan for Gaza that would allow around two million Palestinians to remain in the territory during a rebuild; and a chance to look at religious paintings from early 14 Century Siena.
