Today we look at how President Trump made more than $1 billion from cryptocurrency in his first year back in office.

The President’s mandatory financial report revealed that he also earned millions from real estate and Trump-themed items. But the White House denies that he is profiting from the presidency. Alex and James are joined by chief North America correspondent, Gary O’Donoghue.

Plus, we look at a week of big rulings for the President in the Supreme Court, including a defeat for the president over birth right citizenship and decisions which expand the power of the presidency.

How Did Donald Trump Make $1.4 Billion From Crypto?

Today, Keir Starmer has unveiled the long awaited defence investment plan which promises an extra £15 billion to help equip the armed forces for the future.

What Does It Cost To Keep The UK Safe?

Today, Andy Burnham has set out his vision for the country should he become Prime Minister, including plans like setting up a ‘No10 North’ in Manchester.

He said he wants to ‘take power out of the centre’ by transferring some powers from Westminster to the regions, and by extending devolution in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He also promised to deliver the biggest programme of council house building since the post-war period.

James, Chris and Faisal breakdown what was in the speech, and what wasn’t.

What's Andy Burnham's Economic Plan?

Today, King Charles has become the first monarch ever to reveal their tax bill: £12.9 million. 

The King has broken royal precedent by publishing some of his finances, revealing that he is in the top 100 of UK taxpayers. But we still don’t know much about his income, or how this tax bill was calculated. The accounts also show that the main source of annual public funding for the Royals will nearly double within three years. Adam speaks to Senior Royal Correspondent Daniela Relph. 

He’s also joined by Ailbhe Rea, Political editor of the New Statesman, and Sienna Rodgers, Deputy Editor of the House Magazine, to discuss the week in Westminster.

Why Is This Heatwave So Much Worse?

Today, the largest review of it's kind in NHS history has found major failings in maternity care at a hospital trust in Nottingham. The report found that hundreds of babies and mothers died or were harmed due to the “deep-rooted, systemic failures”.

Leaders at the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust have apologised, and the Health Secretary says the government will respond by taking “immediate steps”. 

Adam is joined by Social Affairs Correspondent Michael Buchanan. 

Plus, Helen MacNamara, former top civil servant, discusses how Team Burnham seems to be preparing for his increasingly likely premiership.

Today, Andy Burnham is the front-runner to be the next prime minister - so what happens now? 

New MP for Makerfield Andy Burnham is currently expected to be the only candidate in the race to replace outgoing Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Will he run unopposed?

Former Defence Minister Al Carns and Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister Darren Jones are both considering leadership bids, but it is unclear if they have enough backers in parliament to make it into the contest.

Will Anyone Challenge Burnham For PM?

Today, Keir Starmer has resigned as Prime Minister. 

Speaking outside number 10 on Monday morning the Prime Minister said he accepted that his party does not believe he is best placed to lead the country at the next general election. In an emotional speech he also thanked his wife and said he wanted to be the "best dad I can to my beautiful children".

Meanwhile, Andy Burnham has arrived in Westminster to be sworn in as the new MP for Makerfield. Burnham has confirmed he’ll stand to replace Starmer, and is currently the only candidate after Wes Streeting announced he was now backing Burnham. 

James, Chris and Joe discuss another momentous day in Westminster.
