Cnn Talk With Max Foster

It was an active weekend for U.S. President Donald Trump, to say the least. He lashed out on a wide variety of topics, both in interviews and through his favorite social media platform, Twitter. He raised fears about the migrant caravan, praised Saudi Arabia, suggested that poor forest management was behind the devastating wildfires in California, and even questioned why it took the U.S. military so long to kill Osama bin Laden. So why now? What's prompted Trump to lash out on these diverse topics at this time? Max Foster digs into the President's mindset with Ayesha Hazarika, Liam Halligan and Iain Dale. via Knit

We're facing a crucial weekend in British politics. Theresa May has done all she can to sell her draft Brexit deal. But her party and Parliament seem unconvinced. There are rumblings that the Conservatives may launch a leadership challenge, aimed at toppling May and installing what they see as a more committed Brexiteer leader. But there is no guarantee that will work, or that a new leader will be able to get a better deal out of Brussels.

As world leaders gathered in Paris to mark the centenary of the end of World War 1, the French President used the moment to warn of the dangers of nationalism. Sitting a few meters away was U.S. President Donald Trump - a man who has proudly self-identified as a nationalist. So, was Macron right to denounce nationalism, and promote patriotism? Is nationalism really a bad thing? And what's the difference between nationalism and patriotism anyway?

It's been nearly 100 years since World War 1 came to an end. The conflict left more than 8,500,000 troops and many more civilians dead.

Today on CNN Talk, we look back at the Great War and ask what lessons we've learned that still apply today.

It's one of the major issues of our time - where does the line between free speech, hate speech and political correctness lie? The editor of a major UK food magazine was forced to step down recently, after making comments about vegans. Some were deeply offended by his words, while others thought he was just joking. Does living in a digital age make us more prone to outrage? Or are we rightly pointing out and condemning hateful words more than we used to?
