Biden vows to continue as presidential candidate

President Joe Biden has attempted to put his re-election campaign back on track with a defiant rally in the US state of Michigan. He came out on stage in Detroit to chants of "don't you quit!". Mr Biden told the crowd he was the only politician to have beaten Donald Trump and promised to do it again in November.

Also in the programme: we examine the continuing tensions in the West Bank amid violence between Israelis and Palestinians; and we meet the author who has written a book on how the English Channel divides and brings together the people who live on both sides.

Joining presenter Julian Worricker to discuss these stories more are Zoe Gardner, an independent researcher and campaigner on migration policy in the UK and Yair Zivan, an author and foreign policy advisor to the leader of the opposition in Israel.
