Germany says US troop withdrawal 'foreseeable' as Trump warns of more 'cuts'
WeekendAvailable for 3 days
President Trump has said the United States will withdraw many more troops from Germany than the five thousand already announced -- amid a diplomatic rift over the Iran war. Also, a man who deserted from Russia's army tells us about morale on the frontline with Ukraine. And we will meet Galilee Quartet - four Palestinian siblings who play Arabic and Western classical music. Presenter Julian Worricker is joined by Emma Graham-Harrison, Middle East correspondent at the Guardian newspaper, and Yaroslav Trofimov, chief foreign affairs correspondent for the Wall Street Journal.
