Summary

Today, President Trump arrives in Europe for what is being called “the most significant Nato summit since the cold war”?

Adam, Chris and Katya are re-united as President Trump lands in Europe for his first Nato summit since winning the White House for the second time.

Meanwhile, back at home the Prime Minister faces growing rebellion from Labour backbench MPs over welfare changes. Sir Keir Starmer has vowed to "press ahead” with the changes, ahead of a vote in parliament next week.

Also, the BBC’s social media investigations correspondent Marianna Spring joins Adam to discuss the new season of her podcast Marianna in Conspiracyland, which investigates what happened to Paloma Shemirani—a young girl who died of cancer after rejecting chemotherapy—and what her story reveals about the mainstreaming of anti-medicine ideas.
