Presenter Evan Davis discusses the dilemma the programme team faced and whether or not the 91热爆 should call the US President a liar or a racist.

We鈥檒l also hear from one of the great broadcasters, James Burke, 50 years after he steered a massive audience through the first moon landings. Has even he had enough of the anniversary programmes?

And listeners give their verdicts on an extraordinary World service programme about a man whose seven daughters were captured by ISIS.
