The World Tonight

As the King announces the government’s legislative agenda, allies of Health Secretary Wes Streeting say he is preparing to challenge Keir Starmer for the Labour leadership. We speak to Labour MPs from opposing camps.
Also on the programme: as Donald Trump touches down in Beijing, could he water down US security commitments to Taiwan, in the interests of a trade deal with China?
And we look at the high-end sandwiches packing as much salt as five cheeseburgers.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is scheduled to meet the Health Secretary Wes Streeting tomorrow morning ahead of the King's Speech, in which the government will lay out its legislative agenda for the next year. Streeting is seen as a likely leadership rival to Starmer as more MPs call for the Prime Minister to quit and four ministers resign. However more than 100 Labour MPs have signed a statement backing Starmer. We ask if Britain's fracturing politics is making the country ungovernable.
Also on the programme: the best-selling crime writer Patricia Cornwell, on her traumatic early life, and how her days as a journalist shaped her writing.

There are reports tonight that some cabinet members are adding their voices to the growing chorus for Keir Starmer to stand down.We hear from a supporter and a critic of the Prime Minister.
Also on the programme: rebuilding from the ruins of Sudan's civil war; a stolen Nazi artwork recovered; and the comedian hoping to transform right-wing conspiracy website InfoWars.

We hear from Labour Minister Diana Johnson, Plaid's Nerys Evans, former Green Party leader Natalie Bennett, and others, on a historic day for British politics. And David Attenborough's 100th birthday is celebrated at the Royal Albert Hall.

Two British-Chinese dual nationals have been convicted of spying for China. What message does the case send? We hear from one Hong Kong dissident living in the UK.

And celebrating David Attenborough's 100th birthday, with a new choral work.
