Can secret UK missile blueprints actually help Ukraine against Russia?

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham will hand over blueprints to Ukraine so Kyiv can build its own long-range missiles.

On a visit to Kyiv to meet with President Zelensky, the PM promised to keep up the pressure on Russia despite Moscow’s “outrageous threats”. Diplomatic correspondent James Landale is in the studio to discuss with Adam.

Plus, President Trump and Canada’s Mark Carney are in the midst of a trade war after negotiations between the two countries collapsed on Friday. Trump announced a 50% tariff on Canada goods, with Carney promising the same ‘dollar-for-dollar’.

How will this impact the US and Canadian economies? And what has the reaction been inside Canada and the US? Adam talks to chief Washington presenter Caitriona Perry, and presenter of CBC’s Front Burner podcast Jayme Poisson.
