As President Trump hails the US as the ‘best and most incredible thing on this planet’, we hear from founding father Thomas Jefferson’s sixth great-grandson.

Also on the programme: Hungarians prepare for the opening of the Communist-era secret service records; and the Â鶹Éç reports from Venezuela, where more than 2,600 people are confirmed to have been killed in last week’s earthquakes.

Presenter Julian Worricker is joined by Colleen Graffy, a law professor at Pepperdine Caruso Law School in California, and Turkish writer and essayist Kaya Genç.
