Episode description

Donald Trump's administration has renewed their attacks on the BBC over its coverage of Gaza, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt accusing the corporation taking “the word of Hamas with total truth”, an allegation the broadcaster denies.


Camilla and Gordon speak to former BBC director of television Danny Cohen, who agrees with the US President, saying that the broadcaster's coverage is "driving hate" towards Israel and Jews, and that there are "two tiers of racism at the BBC".


Elsewhere, a stark new report suggests the white British population could become a minority in the UK within the next 40 years. 73 per cent of the British population is white, but is predicted to drop to 57 per cent by 2050. Camilla and Gordon are joined by Professor Matt Goodwin, who led the research, to unpack what the data tells us about the UK’s changing demographics, why these shifts are happening, and what they could mean for the country’s future.
