Emily Thornberry: Trump's positives, sanctioning Israel and working with China

Can Trump bring peace to the Middle East? Should the UK recognise
Palestine as a state? Should the West work more closely with
China? Is the FCDO doing enough to help citizens detained abroad?


Known for being straight-talking and forthright, Emily Thornberry
is chair of the influential Foreign Affairs Committee and the
long-serving Labour MP for Islington South and Finsbury. She
joins Venetia Rainey for a special bonus episode of Battle Lines
to answer all those questions and more. She discusses why she
thinks frozen Russian assets need to be given to Ukraine, who
should be sanctioned in the current "outrageous" Israeli
government, and why the UK is right to give the Chagos Islands
back to Mauritius.
