Stephen Sackur is in New York for a special edition of the
programme with Egyptian American satirist Bassem Youssef. During
the Arab Spring, his mockery of Egypt’s leaders won him millions
of fans, but after the military took over he fled to the US where
he has reinvented his comedy career. Can laughter ever provoke
political change?
