Are the British Museum thefts more than just a whodunnit and is there too much coverage of US politics?
What should lead the news? Three people pitch the story they think matters most to Tortoise editor James Harding.
In this episode he’s joined by Jess Winch, Keith Blackmore and former culture secretary Ben Bradshaw who used to be the BBC’s Berlin correspondent.
The team discuss the thefts from the British Museum, Manchester United’s Mason Greenwood u-turn and the Republican presidential candidates.
