Description

Is President Trump is planning to send 10,000 troops to the southern border? An internal memo suggests he is. We’ll ask what exactly they will be doing.
The US president has already ordered 1,500 troops to the border to install barriers - a military source says they won't be involved in "law enforcement".

Also on the programme: Our correspondent is in Jenin in the West Bank amid a major Israeli offensive; and how comedy is helping Ukrainians get through the war.
