Description

It is 1000 days since the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine and senior Republican on the Armed Forces Committee in the US Senate, Roger Wicker, has welcomed the decision by President Biden to allow Ukraine to use long-range missiles against Russia, but argues that it should have come sooner. He tells Newshour: "The best way to combat the illegal breach of international law is to be strong".

Also in the programme: Ukraine's former national security adviser on what his country can expect from a new Trump presidency, and linguistics professor David Crystal on what England's King Richard III sounded like.
