After a week where Trump has left Europe wondering if it faces a future where it can't rely on America to protect it - The Crisis Room debates whether Britain will come good on Keir Starmer's promise to massively increase defence spending, and what it will mean if he fails to hit his own targets.

Philip Hammond, the former Foreign Secretary and Chancellor, joins the podcast for an exclusive interview - and questions whether the government is really prepared to cut spending on other departments to fund national security.

The team also debate why the US is appearing to take such a reconciliatory tone with Russia, while taking a hostile approach to its European allies. Plus they ask: is the seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker the start of a full-blown attempt at regime change in Latin America?

Later, Mark reports on the latest failures of the UK's controversial Ajax armoured vehicles - and why the MoD should be so concerned by leaked videos of the faulty kit appearing all over social media.
