ukraine funding

David Cameron flew to Washington to try and seek more funding for Ukraine. But he's been snubbed by the House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Was it hubristic to think he could change minds in America? What happens to Ukraine now?

But we start with what happened dramatically, overnight in America where the state of Arizona has just brought BACK an abortion ban dating from 1864.

How popular will this antebellum law be? And could women's rights ultimately lose Trump the election?

And we speak to Democrat Congressman Brendan Boyle (PA-2), about Mike Johnson, Marjorie Taylor Greene and whether Joe Biden should debate Donald Trump.
