Blair joins White House talks on Gaza

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

President Trump is hosting a meeting in the White House to discuss post-war plans for Gaza - and Sir Tony Blair is among those attending. We ask what influence the former prime minister might have over the current US President - and whether an end to the war is any closer. Also on the programme: New figures show the birth rate in England and Wales has reached a record low. We speak to politicians from left and right who fear we're heading for a demographic catastrophe. And 20 years after Hurricane Katrina, James Coomarasamy catches up with two people he met in New Orleans following the devastation.
