Episode description
The long awaited meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin will be taking place today in Alaska. Putin will inevitably seek the handover of Ukrainian territory as part of any “peace” agreement. Is this already a win for Putin? If he and Trump carve up Ukraine today, then what can Ukraine and Europe do about it? James' Europe-based callers share their viewpoints.
And, along with A-Level exam results came the usual debate around whether higher education in this country is up to scratch or not… why do people overwhelmingly still want to go to university?
