Last night, for the first time in American history, the House of Representatives voted to remove its speaker from office. It was a victory for a group of Republicans who oppose giving Ukraine further American aid – which, for now, is on pause. Meanwhile in Europe, Slovakia's recent elections saw a new, pro-Russia, leader pledging to end support for Ukraine. What does all this mean for Kyiv's war effort? Guest: Roger Boyes, Diplomatic Editor, The Times. Host: Manveen Rana. Clips: NBC News, C-SPAN, Fox News, CBS, BBC News, DW News, Sky News, CNN, Channel 4 News.
