Summary
What is it like to take on Rupert Murdoch and win? We have an exclusive interview with David Sherborne - the media barrister who represented Prince Harry last month and has been the go to lawyer for the highest profile celebrity trials ever fought.
But we start in Ukraine where Trump is threatening to stop military aid and the British Ambassador to America, Peter Mandelson, appears to have “wandered off the reservation“ in terms of party lines.

| 0:00.0 | The Newsagents podcast is brought to you by HSBC UK commercial banking, opening up a world of opportunity. |
| 0:10.6 | This is a global player original podcast. I think Harry achieve what he wanted to achieve as far as the |
| 0:17.7 | process could take him. What happens next, as I say, is really for the authorities |
| 0:22.6 | decide, and that's what he wants. That's what he's asked for, and we have to see what the |
| 0:27.3 | response to that is. He wants that to be a full inquiry or police inquiry? Yes, I think he wants |
| 0:32.1 | a proper investigation by the police, and then they can decide whether there are charges to be brought, |
| 0:38.6 | and he wants an inquiry. What is it like to take on Rupert Murdoch and the newsgroup newspapers over phone |
| 0:44.5 | hacking and win? Today in his first broadcast interview we're going to talk to Prince Harry's lawyer. |
| 0:50.0 | It's the media lawyer David Sherbourne. He's argued hundreds and hundreds of cases for those who've seen their phones hacked, |

| 1:16.9 | And we're going to bring you that exclusive interview with David Sherbourne in a moment. |
| 1:21.5 | But we are going to kick off where the action is today, talking about Ukraine, because Donald |
| 1:26.9 | Trump is now expecting to discuss |
| 1:29.4 | canceling military aid. This follows on from that appalling scene in the Oval Office on Friday, |
| 1:36.0 | and he's going to be addressing Congress tomorrow in what he calls a big speech. Everything he does, |
| 1:43.3 | obviously, is termed big. but if this does lead to the |
| 1:46.3 | counselling of military aid, then that is going to be monumental and undermining of pretty |
