Budget - more money for social care

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

More money for social care but more taxes for self-employed - was it a budget that prepares Britain for the challenges of Brexit? We discuss the issue with two MPs. The Islamic State group says it attacked a military hospital in Kabul killing more than thirty people - we talk to a former US commander in Afghanistan. And we report from South Sudan where hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced by war and famine.
