Newshour - NATO meets for ‘consequential’ summit

NATO leaders have been meeting in the Netherlands at a time when President Trump's 'America First' policies have strained the transatlantic alliance. We listen to some of President Trump's comments and ask what they might mean for the defence of Europe. Also in the programme: our Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet reports from the Iranian capital, Tehran; and an interview with British rock legend Sir Rod Stewart, who will be playing at the Glastonbury Festival this month.

Time To Say Goodbye - What Happened to the Anti-War Right with Sohrab Ahmari

Hello!

Today, we welcome a guest from across the aisle to talk about what might be happening with the anti-war, anti-interventionist right in the face of Trump’s strikes against Iran. Sohrab Ahmari is the American editor of Unherd and the author of two books and one of the main intellectual forces shaping the ideas of a new right wing. A really great conversation with some interesting insights into what might be happening within Trump’s inner and less-than-inner circles and how influence might be peddled in the White House.

Enjoy!

Song Exploder - Little Simz – Free

Little Simz is a rapper from England who put out her first album in 2015. She’s won the Mercury Prize, a Brit Award, and three MOBO awards. She also starred in the Netflix series Top Boy. Her most recent album is called Lotus. It came out in June 2025, and it followed a pretty tumultuous time in her career. For this episode, I got to talk to Little Simz about one of the songs from that album, called "Free," along with Miles Clinton James, who produced the track.
