As thousands of students get ready to receive their A-Level results, many of them will be considering heading to university. But with universities strapped for cash and offering what some would call 'Micky Mouse' degrees that don't lead to job offers, is it really worth it?

Kamal and guest co-host Camilla Turner speak to Robert Halfon, Former Minister of State for Skills, Apprenticeships, and Higher Education, about universities' financial challenges and why degree apprenticeships are the way forward.

Plus, Senior Foreign Correspondent Roland Oliphant on the biggest development of the year in the Ukraine-Russia war and why Zelensky has caught Putin napping.
