The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Protestors in Manchester have gathered tonight outside the offices of the Mayor Andy Burnham, after a video was circulated on social media of a man being kicked and stamped on by a police officer at Manchester Airport. We get reaction from the city. Also on the programme: President Biden is pushing for a Gaza ceasefire with Israel's Prime Minister. What does the private sector make of the new GB Energy company intended to turn Britain into a "green energy superpower"? And as the Paris Olympics kicks off tomorrow, there’s been an international outcry at one member of the Dutch team: a convicted rapist.
