Trump Claims Progress After Kim Summit

President Trump believes economic prospects for North Korea could be bright.

President Trump believes economic prospects for North Korea could be bright. Following a historic summit in Singapore between North Korea and the US, we get the reaction of North Korean defector Ensun Kim, and ask Marianne Schneider-Petsinger from the research group Chatham House how much hope the agreement the leaders signed actually offers. Also in the programme, ahead of this week's opening games of the football World Cup, we hear from Rob Wilson, football finance expert from Sheffield Hallam University, about an influx of investment in the game from Chinese companies. Dr Ruth Valerio of the development charity Tearfund explains how much of a challenge plastic waste presents for Africa. Plus after Starbucks closed thousands of coffee shops across the US and Canada for diversity training, we have a report from Washington examining how corporate America is responding to charges of racism.
