Pope Leo has publicly criticised President Trump’s actions in Iran, but what does this mean for the Christian MAGA followers caught in the middle? Is the UK government divided over defence spending?

Jeevan Vasagar is joined by The Observer’s Cat Neilan, John Simpson and Stephen Armstrong  as they battle it out and pitch the top stories of the day.
