When Donald Trump entered the White House for a second time this year, Namia, his two top officials in his new administration, J.D.

The Collinses, though, Nomi, definitely feel like this new Trump administration poses a huge opportunity for them, given what you've just said. You can see why.

Namia, thanks so much. And you. Thanks so much, Lucy. Pronationalism now has two very powerful advocates right at the heart of government in J.D. Vance, the Vice President, and Elon Musk. Simone, what are your expectations of those two men in office?

When Diego Maradona died in 2020, Argentinians took to the streets. united in both grief and celebration of a footballing legend. But it wasn't long before questions were being asked about the circumstances surrounding his death. Now a long-delayed trial involving his medical team is underway, and Maradona is once again the centre of attention.

I think most people would agree that Maradona is one of the best footballers we've ever seen. But when you think about him, often what comes to mind is not just his genius on the pitch, it's what he got up to off the pitch. Now you've actually met him quite a few times. Can you share with us what he was like?

No one can deny that football genius. Can you remind us of that path on the pitch that took him to international football superstardom?
