Trump and Putin meet in Alaska

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are holding talks in Alaska on ending the war in Ukraine. We get the latest from Anchorage and ask: does being in the room with the Russian president make the difference? A Conservative MP accuses the prime minister of putting the British bioethanol industry at the mercy of the US. And why the Australian film Picnic at Hanging Rock is still unsettling audiences half a century on.
