US-Britain talks end without any declared policy change on long-range missiles

US president Biden reassured the British prime minister of his support to help Ukraine fight back Russia's aggression.

British prime minister Sir Keir Starmer has met the US President in Washington to discuss whether to allow Ukraine to use long-range Western missiles to attack Russia.

Also in the programme: A former chief executive of the US fashion chain, Abercrombie and Fitch, is facing further allegations of sexually exploiting men at events he hosted around the world. And, a new blockbuster Van Gogh exhibition opens at London's National Gallery that focusses on the missing joy in the artist's work despite his tragic death.

Our presenter Paul Henley is joined by Steffen L眉dke, a political and investigative reporter at Der Spiegel and M谩rta Pardavi, the co-chair of the Hungarian Helsinki Committee -- a leading human rights NGO based in Budapest, Hungary.
