Trump's long State of the Union speech

President Trump delivered his longest speech to Congress - lasting one hour 47 minutes.

President Trump has hailed his first year back in the White House, in the longest-ever State of the Union speech. Mr Trump defended his policy of imposing tariffs. We get reaction from Americans and hear from our journalists who have fact-checked his claims about immigration and the economy.

We speak to fans of the Norwegian team Bodø/Glimt, who pulled off one of the biggest upsets in Champions League history by beating Inter Milan.

After the death of Grey's Anatomy actor Eric Dane of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS, we speak to people whose family members have the disease.

Presenter: James Reynolds.
