The end of the rules-based order: is Trump leading the charge?
1Description
Does the idea of a rules-based world order still cary any weight? Or, in the age of Donald Trump, is it just a comforting but outdated concept? This week, Amber, Mark, and Marc debate whether Trump's unique style is convincing more and more politicians to break the rules - and if the world's post-1945 system is close to collapse.
And in a week when the US President once again hinted that he likes the idea of becoming a dictator, the team look at what the consequences of a global rise in authoritarianism will be.
Later, General Sir Nick Carter, the most recent former Chief of the Defence Staff, joins The Crisis Room. He discusses whether Trump's America is a reliable ally, if the UK government understands the level of threat posed by Putin's Russia, and the idea of bringing back national service to fix the armed forces' recruitment woes.
