Trump hails immigration, Ukraine deal, as wins in first 100 days

The much-anticipated natural resources deal comes after months of tense negotiations.

What has President Trump's first 100 days in office been like? Mr Trump hailed his record on immigration and also celebrated the deal he signed with Ukraine on Wednesday that gives Washington access to some of the war-torn country's natural resources, including rare-earth minerals.

Also in the programme: tensions between India and Pakistan mount as expectations of military retaliation increase following a deadly attack in Kashmir; and we meet a writer whose latest novel is, in part, a tribute to her late sister.

Our presenter Julian Worricker is joined by Sanam Naraghi-Anderlini, founder and CEO of the international Civil Society action network ICAN, and David Robert Grimes, a physicist and science writer who takes a keen interest in the public understanding of science.
