Is the UK Prime Minister spending more on defence because of President Trump? | BBC Newscast


We look at the news that the UK will increase defence spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2027.

Plus, James and Alex are joined by the former CEO of Music UK and political advisor Jamie Njoku-Goodwin and composer Max Richter to discuss the government’s proposals on AI in music.
