Trump denounces Fed's decision to raise interest rate

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

US President Trump has lashed out at a decision by new chair of the Federal Reserve Kevin Warsh to raise interest rates for the first time in three years. Warsh said he was taking the decision to combat inflation, as fuel prices spike around the world. We get reaction and look at worldwide protests against the price of fuel. Also on the programme: explosive new claims about the King's reaction to the death of Princess Diana - from her brother. The playwright and commentator Bonnie Greer is remembered by the composer with whom she co-wrote an opera about her famous Question Time appearance alongside BNP leader Nick Griffin. And we rewind to a pre-vinyl period as wax cylinder music recordings are made live on stage at the Royal Academy of Music.
