Download Trump's State of the Union address claims US in 'golden age'
US President Donald Trump makes the longest-ever State of the Union address, claiming America's enjoying a golden age.
But will his message on the economy be enough to persuade voters worried about persistent high prices?
Also in the programme: Sri Lanka's former intelligence chief has been arrested in connection with the 2019 Easter Sunday bombings that killed more than 270 people; and we'll hear from the small Norwegian club inside the Arctic Circle that's shaking up European football.
