Afghanistan, Grammar Schools & Baby Gard

Any Answers on Afghanistan, grammar schools and baby Gard with Amol Rajan.

In the space of barely a week President Donald Trump has launched airstrikes on Syria, dropped the largest conventional weapon ever used on Afghanistan, and rapidly escalated the pressure on nuclear-armed North Korea? Is this the sign of an aggressive warmonger trying to make America once again the world's policeman - or a rational projection of power in the face of mortal threats?

Can anyone anywhere produce evidence that grammar schools really are good for social mobility?

And, after the terrible sadness of the Baby Gard case, should a High Court judge ever be able to tell two parents what will happen to their child, against their wishes?

Presenter: Amol Rajan
