JD Vance attacks Europe over free speech

The US Vice-President has accused European governments - including the UK's - of retreating from their values.

In his speech at the Munich Security Conference, US Vice-President JD Vance has accused European governments - including the UK's - of retreating from their values and ignoring voter concerns on free speech and migration. We speak to the deputy leader of Germany's anti-immigration party Alternative for Germany (AfD) Beatrix von Storch.

Also in the programme: The Ukrainian writer Andrey Kurkov on Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and the war in Ukraine. The number of people who report being the victim of anti-social behaviour is rising - we hear from one of them.
