Donald Trump says he took a 'bullet for democracy'

Former President Donald Trump held a rally in Michigan with Ohio senator and new running mate, JD Vance. This is his first rally since there was an assassination attempt on his life last week and thousands of people showed up in support. He told the crowd at the Michigan rally that he "took a bullet for democracy".

Also in the programme: Protests are set to take place in Palma, in Mallorca, to ask for regulation of mass tourism on the island; and we look at some problems around Ireland's new recycling scheme where people pay deposits on bottles and cans that can be refunded once returned.

Joining presenter Paul Henley are Alex von Tunzelmann, a British historian, author, film and TV scriptwriter, and Paul Morland, a demographer and author.
