Rural Revolt

Ahead of a planned protest by farmers who are angry about the
Budget, Amol and Nick talk to farmer and best-selling author

Plus, as Donald Trump's top team takes shape and he hires Elon
Musk to jointly lead a new “Department of Government Efficiency”,
they discuss what his appointments tell us about his approach to
China and the war in Ukraine.
