Trump revokes legal status of 530,000 legal immigrants

The Trump administration has announced it will revoke the status of 530,000 legal migrants

Over half a million migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, may face deportation from 24 April. US President Donald Trump has revoked legal status for migrants brought in under the CHNV programme, which was in place during Joe Biden's term. Additionally, there is also a risk that around 240,000 Ukrainians, granted temporary legal status due to ongoing war with Russia, may also lose their status.

Also in the programme: George Foreman, the former two-time world heavy weight champion, dies aged 76 and we hear a tribute from his the co-author of his autobiography, Joel Engel. We also discuss the return of American NASA astronauts after nine months in space.

Joining presenter Julian Worricker are Yu Jie, Senior Research Fellow on China at the Royal Institute of International Affairs, and Lewis Halsey, a Professor of Environmental Physiology at the University of Roehampton.
