Hi there.
I'm Katrina Perry from the BBC World Service.
This is the global story.
As the Trump administration circles the wagons following the group chat military information breach,
what does that signal about their approach to national security?
It was a week of discussions about what constitutes classified information and whether sensitive details should be shared in secure rooms or in supermarket car parks after a journalist was inadvertently added to a signal group chat with some of the country's top defense officials.
And while that consumed much of the political and military discussions this week,
President Trump maintained his rapid fire pace of work.
We'll look at his plans to change elections,
government payment systems, and his sustained attack on independent journalism.
This time the public broadcasters, NPR and PBS are on the chopping block.
All that and more as we map out the President's path.
Joining me today is my fellow BBC chief presenter, Sumi Somaskanda.
Hi, Sumi.
Hello.
And also with us is Bernd Boozman from the BBC's digital team here in Washington.
Hi, Bernd.
Hi guys.
Great to see you again.
And before we get started, can we just check who's in our group chat?
