May defends U-turn on care plans

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

We talk about Theresa May's change of heart with a senior member of the Tory party and discuss the U-turn on one of the PM's key election manifesto pledges. President Trump re-iterates his hard line on Iran - what will it mean for regional security in the Middle East? How China is said to have dismantled a CIA network of spies in the country. And have elections ever inspired great literature?
