Trump and Putin, Call Me Maybe?

Today, we look at the relationship between President-elect Donald Trump and the Russian leader Vladimir Putin. The Kremlin has denied media reports that Donald Trump held a call with Vladimir Putin, in which he is said to have warned Putin against escalating the war in Ukraine. Adam speaks to Christopher Steele, the former head of the Russia Desk at MI6, Author of “Unredacted: Russia, Trump and the Fight for Democracy” and a director of Orbis Business Intelligence about what Trump’s election means for the US-Russia relationship. And, the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby is facing pressure to resign due to a review which found that he did not follow up rigorously enough on reports of abuse of young boys and men by a man associated with the Church of England. Mr Welby acknowledged he should have more rigorously followed up the details and said last week he had considered resigning, but decided to stay in his role.
