Both Boris Johnson and Donald Trump are in hot water – how will each try to wriggle their way out of trouble? The former PM faces the privileges committee for a grilling, while the ex-President has said he could be arrested this week. It’s also the twenty year anniversary of the second Iraq war, while bank Credit Suisse has been bought by UBS, and the ICC has issued an arrest warrant against Putin. Alex Andreou is joined by Gavin Esler to give you the stories to look out for this week.

“We’re not talking about one lapse of judgement from Boris Johnson, we’re talking about a pattern.”
“I mean this as a compliment, Sunak and Biden are quite boring – and that gives me optimism I don’t usually have.”
“With Trump and Johnson, politics was like a transatlantic reality TV show. Hopefully it is over now.”
