Democratic party

US Senator Bernie Sanders tells Krishnan Guru-Murthy why the US should stop its funding for Netanyahu’s “horrific war against the Palestinian people”, why a second Trump victory could foment right-wing movements across the world with disastrous consequences, and why taking on the ruling class is a necessary but “long, long process”, in this episode of Ways to Change the World.

The Democratic establishment says sticking to the centre is the best way to win over Trump supporters.

Former Virginia congressman Tom Perriello, who’s a Democrat, says the violence in Charlottesville is indicative of a ‘national problem’.

The row over alleged Russian “interference” in the US presidential elections is showing no sign of abating. While Barack Obama has ordered a full investigation, a call that is backed by a bi-partisan group of senators, President-elect Donald Trump has dismissed the claims as “ridiculous”.

It’s the moment the US presidential election really gets going, as the first votes are cast for the man – or woman – party followers want to see in the White House.
