A wild week for the West
After a week of high drama in Davos, where leaders from Donald Trump to Mark Carney and Emanuel Macron traded blows and the whole western alliance appeared to be on the brink of collapse, Mark & Amber analyse whether there really is a new world order as the dust starts to settle.
They're joined by George Robertson, the former Defence Secretary and Secretary General of NATO who triggered Article 5 after 9/11, to discuss the future of the Transatlantic Alliance, whether America would come to Europe's aid if an ally was invaded, and why Keir Starmer needs to put his money where his mouth is on defence spending.
Plus, Marc P dials in from an undisclosed location with his reaction to the week's events, and Trump's bizarre speech at the World Economic Forum.
