Newsnight

Available for over a year

Who's the real Prime Minister right now? Last night we reported that the government was not minded to change the law to deport the Rochdale grooming gang leader. Tonight the government says it is exploring all possible options - after an intervention by Andy Burnham. Plus, Donald Trump's billion-dollar business earnings are revealed, but the President says there are no conflicts of interest between that and his day job as commander-in-chief. We'll speak to the Republican mega-donor who says Americans should be proud to have a President who's a top dollar earner. With Nick Watt.
