How did Trump politicise the murder of Rob Reiner, a Hollywood icon?
Members of the so-called Turtle Island Liberation Front have been charged with plotting to bomb multiple targets in California on New Year’s Eve. But who are they, and why has no one ever heard of them before now? Elsewhere, after legendary film director Rob Reiner and his wife are brutally murdered at their home over the weekend, the president writes online… not a message of condolence, but an attack on the man who’d just lost his life. It goes down like a cup of cold sick with both the right and the left. Why did the president politicise this murder? And a blockbuster UK-US trade deal appears to stall. Or has it?

President Trump is back on the stump for the first time in months on Tuesday. The polls all say Americans are unhappy with his presidency, and with his economy. Can he reverse the tide? But before that he was sitting down for a blockbuster interview with Politico. In it, the president eviscerates Europe, and Europe’s leaders. Even the Pope is getting involved.

Are Trump’s allies behind the hostile takeover bid of Warner Bros?
A new White House National Security Strategy gives us an insight into how Donald Trump views the world, and the US's place within it.

Is Trump’s latest peace deal a total sham?
The leaders of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo come to Washington DC to sign a peace deal.

Is there a rift brewing in the Special Relationship?
As nations mark the anniversary of the end of the First World War, tension brews between two of the world's closest allies. The UK has reportedly halted intelligence sharing with Washington over American airstrikes on so-called "drug boats" in the Caribbean, strikes that have already killed more than 70 people and are now being condemned as violations of international law. James Matthews in Washington and Martha Kelner in Los Angeles unpack what this rare rift says about trust between the US and UK.

Trump v the BBC: A $1bn legal threat
Donald Trump is threatening to sue the BBC for $1bn, accusing it of fabricating part of his January 6 speech in a Panorama documentary. The letter from his lawyers demands a full retraction, an apology - and a huge payout. Meanwhile in Washington, a former jihadi commander who once had a US government bounty on his head, now Syria's new president, has been welcomed to the Oval Office. Mark and James report on the extraordinary meeting, what it means for US foreign policy, and how it plays into Trump's push to reshape the Middle East. And as the US government shutdown drags past 41 days, a last-minute deal could finally see federal workers paid and food programmes saved, but the political fights over health care and spending are far from over.

The night Democrats fought back against Trump
Zohran Mamdani wins the New York City mayoral elections. Strong performances in the governor races for the Democrats in New Jersey and Virginia, and Prop 50 passes in California.

Zohran Mamdani: Is this the week everything changes for the Democrats?
Donald Trump sits down for an interview with CBS' 60 Minutes - the programme he sued successfully for $16m just four months ago. All the while, his poll numbers are at an all-time low due to the government shutdown, as hundreds of thousands of federal workers remain unpaid and food benefits for millions of people run out. And is this the week the real Democrats stand up? Their favourability numbers are also dire, but will the emergence of a firebrand left-wing mayor in New York City, in the shape of Zohran Mamdani, and a handful of positive off-year election results on Tuesday be the spark they desperately need to counter Trump's MAGA agenda?
