'This can't go on' - that's what Keir Starmer and President Macron have said about the migrant crisis this week. But will their new 'one in, one out' deal make any real difference to stopping the boats? Amber also reveals what was said in government conversations about illegal migration during her time as Home Secretary - and which of her cabinet colleagues would privately ask her to make sure the overall migration numbers stayed high so their departments weren't adversely affected.

Plus: ID cards - an unacceptable intrusion into our right to privacy? Or a silver bullet in the battle with illegal immigration? Amber, Mark, and Marc discuss what difference ID cards could make - and whether the UK government can learn anything from President Trump's immigration crackdown in the US.

And the team ask whether there is any merit to Benjamin Netanyahu nominating Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize - and Mark explains what world leaders can learn from the Oslo Peace Process in the 1990s.

In this week's episode, The Crisis Room team discuss the Home Secretary's proscribing of Palestine Action as terrorist group, despite warnings that a ban on the group criminalises legitimate protest.

Lord Anderson, former reviewer of Terrorism Legislation in the UK, joins us in the studio to talk about why governments take these measures, and how they can combat radicalisation across the UK.

Later, why has the White House suspended the delivery of weapons to Ukraine? And why is there such a shift in tone from Trump since NATO last week?

With a ceasefire between Israel and Iran appearing to hold - for now - how much have the events of the past two weeks changed the Middle East in the longer term? In this week's episode, The Crisis Room team discuss the seismic shifts we've seen in the region, and they consider whether Iran will ever agree to return to the negotiating table after attacks from the US and Israel in the last fortnight.

They're also joined by Sir Simon Gass - a former British Ambassador to Tehran who helped to negotiate the Obama nuclear deal - who reveals what it's really like to negotiate with the Iranians.

And they look at this week's NATO summit and question how real Sir Keir Starmer's commitment is to the UK soon spending 5% on defence and security, and whether President Donald Trump is truly committed to Article 5.
