From BBC News.

Today, Adam Fleming discusses the US Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook suing President Donald Trump after he attempted to fire her.

President Trump claims she made false statements on her mortgage, and says he has the authority to remove her. Cook has said there is "no cause exists under the law" to sack her. At the same time Trump is in another public dispute with the director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. How will both battles end? Adam speaks to BBC chief presenter Caitriona Perry in Washington.

Adam is also joined by Sir Ed Davey, leader of the Liberal Democrats who is boycotting President Trump’s UK state banquet in protest of Trump and Keir Starmer’s position on the escalating situation in Gaza.
