Trump moves nuclear submarines after Russian ex-president's comments

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Donald Trump ordered two nuclear submarines to "be positioned in the appropriate regions" in response to "highly provocative" comments by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. We hear from BBC Russia Editor Steve Rosenberg in Moscow. Also on the programme: the row between the Labour government and Reform UK over how effective, or not, the Online Safety Act is proving in protecting youngsters from abuse. And Michelin-starred chef Angela Hartnett reflects on how restaurants may need to change, after Heston Blumenthal’s warning that weight-loss drugs like Wegovy, Ozempic and Mounjaro are shrinking diners’ appetites.
