A Home Office minister has condemned Sunday night's disorder in Portsmouth, accusing groups behind it of promoting “racism and thuggery”. Sarah Jones MP said "those who cross the line from peaceful protest into illegality will face the full force of the law". Also on the programme: The government is expected to announce sanctions on Israeli settlements in the West Bank - we hear the verdict of a former foreign secretary. After a big election win, can Germany's far-right AFD do a deal with members of the ruling CDU to form a government in the state of Saxony-Anhalt? And we speak to the MP who wants to ban the development of AI superintelligence in the UK.
