President Trump criticises allies for lack of commitment in Strait of Hormuz

NATO criticised by President Trump, who bemoans allies who have stayed out of the conflict

President Trump singles out Britain for criticism in his assessment of the involvement of allies in the Iran conflict. We hear the thoughts of the UK's former Permanent Representative to NATO, Lord Ricketts. The British journalist Mehdi Hasan -- one of Mr Trump's prominent critics in he US -- tells PM that he believes a majority of Americans do not support the war. The government's cost of living champion, the Executive Chair of Iceland Foods, Lord Walker, tells us what Britons can do to protect themselves from the economic shockwaves. Also on PM, we look at changes made by the hotel chain, Travelodge, to its key card policy following the sexual assault of a guest, and investigate the internet blackout in Moscow. And our AI clinic looks at AI agents -- the virtual personal assistants that some people believe we will one day all have.
