Sarah, Anthony and Marianna answer your questions in today’s episode. The team also look at whether Donald Trump is legally allowed to kick out media organisations he doesn’t like from the White House? The US president has withdrawn White House press credentials for journalists from CNN, MS Now and Politico, citing fake news. But does this decision go against the US constitution? There are also questions over Trump’s new ideas to place snipers on top of his new arch in Washington DC, a shooting by ICE agents in Texas, and what is happening with the former Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro since his capture and arrest?
