US President Donald Trump has again taken aim at the UK’s military support in the Middle East, denigrating its aircraft carriers, HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales, as "toys".
Speaking at the start of a White House Cabinet meeting on Thursday, Trump criticised the speed at which the UK sent help in the days following the joint Israeli-US attacks on Iran almost one month ago.
Also on the programme:
– Sarah Ferguson, formally the Duchess of York, has lost the freedom of the city of York, given to her as a wedding present in 1987.
-The OECD has downgraded the UK’s growth forecast as a result of the war in Iran, with a bigger predicted hit to our economy than to other major industrial nations.
