Episode description

In his speech to the UN General Assembly, US President Donald Trump has made a fresh attack on Sir Sadiq Khan, and claimed London wants to “go to Sharia law”.

A spokesperson for Sadiq, London’s first Muslim mayor said: “We are not going to dignify his appalling and bigoted comments with a response."

The US president also appeared to change his stance on Ukraine, speculating that Kyiv could win back its land due to Russia’s economic troubles.

For analysis, we join The Standard's defence editor Robert Fox, who also tells us what he thinks Russia's plans are next.

In part two, do you remember the Blitz Club?

Forty years after its closure it's now being celebrated at the Design Museum.

The Standard's head of culture, Martin Robinson, reveals everything you need to know, and why this exhibition will attract a large audience.
