President Trump says he was the target of a "would-be assassin", after a man armed with guns and knives was arrested trying to run past security to enter the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington. Also in the programme: how the war in Iran is affecting food security; and a new show about musical legends Liberace and Liza Minelli. Presenter Paul Henley is joined by Nitasha Kaul, professor of politics, international relations and critical interdisciplinary studies at the University of Westminster, and Christopher De Bellaigue, UK-based author, journalist and literary festival organiser.
