White House slams Signal chat reporter as 'anti-Trump hater'

Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth told the group chat what time F-18 fighters would launch and when strikes would happen.

More political fallout following the leaked Signal messages after the Atlantic Magazine published the exchanges in full - citing a “clear public interest”. We hear from a Democratic congressman and a Republican strategist on events.

Also on the programme: in South Korea, an inquiry into how nearly 200,000 of children were sent overseas for adoption, sometimes without their parents even knowing; and Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro will stand trial charged with plotting a coup.
