The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Rishi Sunak has outlined measures aimed at deterring migrants from crossing the Channel in small boats - including plans to send back thousands of Albanians within months. We assess the proposals with a former Border Force official and a lawyer. Scientists hail a major breakthrough in nuclear fusion - but what is it and how could it help our thirst for clean energy? And we speak to a former member of Twitter's Trust and Safety Council about why Elon Musk disbanded it.
