Why is the Republican Party eating itself alive?
Description
Late last night came an extraordinary moment in US Congressional history.
A Florida congressman called for the removal of the Speaker of the House of Representatives - the most powerful Republican job in America and third biggest in US politics.
Why? Because he dared to find compromise with the Democrats.
What is going on in that party?
What does it tell us about the chance of the parties ever working together?
And later, Trump is on trial in New York. It’s a civil case that could cost him millions and see him stripped of assets, hotels and businesses. Trump and the courts meet once more.
