May tells EU citizens in UK 'we want you to stay'

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

As the Prime Minister tries to reassure EU nationals in the UK that they won't have to leave after Brexit, we hear from Mairead McGuinness, Vice-President of the European Parliament. Meanwhile the cavalry rides to the rescue. The DUP have agreed an agreement to support the Conservative government. We discuss the deal and Theresa May's plan for EU citizens with senior MPs Crispin Blunt and Hillary Benn. China releases a dissident from prison because he's seriously ill - but why are the Chinese authorities so afraid of Liu Xiaobo? Also on the programme why do the Spanish want to dig up Salvador Dali?
