Turkey boosts its military position on the Syrian border

Brett McGurk, former advisor to Obama and Trump, gives us his analysis.

Dozens of military vehicles have arrived following a US troop withdrawal from north-eastern Syria. President Trump's decision to withdraw from the area has been widely condemned at home and abroad. We are joined by Brett McGurk, a former Middle East advisor to both Trump and Obama.

Also on the programme; the White House has refused to take part in the impeachment investigation launched by the Democrats. Is the US headed towards a constitutional crisis? And is the current state of play in Brexit doing exactly the same in the UK?
