Summary
David Cameron flew to Washington to try and seek more funding for Ukraine. But he's been snubbed by the House Speaker Mike Johnson.
Was it hubristic to think he could change minds in America? What happens to Ukraine now?
But we start with what happened dramatically, overnight in America where the state of Arizona has just brought BACK an abortion ban dating from 1864.
How popular will this antebellum law be? And could women's rights ultimately lose Trump the election?
And we speak to Democrat Congressman Brendan Boyle (PA-2), about Mike Johnson, Marjorie Taylor Greene and whether Joe Biden should debate Donald Trump.

| 0:00.0 | This is a Global Player original podcast. |
| 0:05.0 | We promised you on last week's episode of the Newsagents USA that Donald Trump was going to make a statement on abortion. |
| 0:12.0 | He has. He made it on Monday. |
| 0:14.0 | My view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it from a legal standpoint, |
| 0:19.0 | the states will determine by vote or legislation or |
| 0:22.7 | perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land, in this case, the law of the |
| 0:29.9 | state. Like Ronald Reagan, I am strongly in favor of exceptions for rape, incest, and life of the |
| 0:36.7 | mother. You must follow your heart of this issue, |
| 0:39.3 | but remember, you must also win elections to restore our culture and, in fact, to save our country, |
| 0:45.6 | which is currently, and very sadly, a nation in decline. So there you have it. This is how Donald |
| 0:53.2 | Trump thinks he's going to win the election |
| 0:56.0 | by essentially having a hands-off approach to abortion. The states can choose and he won't interfere. |
| 1:04.8 | One state overnight didn't get the memo. That was Arizona, which has now brought back an almost total ban on |
| 1:14.4 | abortion from a law going back to 1864. Welcome to the Newsagents USA. |
| 1:34.1 | It's Emily. It's John. And Donald Trump thought he was doing something pretty cute on Monday and clever and tactically astute by saying, look, guys, we overturned Roe versus Wade. It's now up to you, |
| 1:40.9 | the individual states, to decide what is the best law for you to have. It's not a matter |
| 1:46.5 | of government. That brought charges of a sellout by the anti-abortion lobby, by the Conservatives, |
| 1:53.0 | by evangelicals who had wanted Donald Trump to go further and move America towards, in effect, |
| 1:58.9 | a total ban on abortion. Trump wasn't buying it, but overnight, as Emily said, |
| 2:04.6 | Arizona went a very different route. |
| 2:08.6 | This kind of civil war law that was passed in 1864 |
| 2:12.6 | when Arizona wasn't even properly a state, |
