As Donald Trump lands in Scotland to visit his golf resorts at Turnberry and Menie, Laura is joined by Phil Sim and David Wallace Lockhart to unpick the politics of the US president's trip here.

David gives us the details of a 'civil war' he's been reporting on inside the Scottish Greens.

And as the Commonwealth Games unveils Finnie as its mascot for Glasgow 2026, Phil reveals why he dressed up as jungle animal in the name of journalism.
