Russia cuts military spending

Description: After two decades of growth, Russia slashed 20% of its defence budget in 2017. Is this an economic necessity or a political choice? Also in this programme/podcast: the US U-turns to ask Gulf states to make peace with Qatar; the EU wants to cut funding from member-states which don't behave; the body-blows sapping the British prime minister Theresa May; and the parallels between Paris in May 1968 and now.
