Newsday

Available for 7 days

President Trump says his administration is going to, in his words, "de-escalate a little bit" in Minneapolis following the deaths of two protesters at the hands of federal agents this month. We speak to Janet Napolitano, America's longest serving Secretary of Homeland Security under the Obama administration. As Donald Trump warns that a US armada is 'floating' towards Iran, we speak to a prominent Iranian historian to get his view after that brutal crackdown that saw thousands killed. And after the remains of the last Israeli hostage held in the Gaza Strip were returned home, we speak to Ran Gvili's aunt as the family prepares for his funeral later today. Presenters: James Copnall and Anne Soy. (Photo: Donald Trump walks upon arrival on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington. Credit:Annabelle Gordon/Reuters).
