Alternate Current Radio Network Presents: Sunday Wire

This week we deliver another LIVE broadcast, this time from Britain's former naval stronghold in Plymouth, as SUNDAY WIRE host Patrick Henningsen breaks down the biggest stories in the west and internationally, including a follow-up on the recent disaster in West London where we'll speak to local resident Emma about the Grenfell Tower fire - the social and political fallout as well as questions about how many residents actually died in the fatal blaze. In the second hour, we'll connect with geopolitical analyst Daniel Faraci from Grassroots Political Consulting in Washington DC to discuss how the recent fracture between Qatar and Turkey (and Iran) on one side - and the US, Saudi Arabia, UAE and the rest of Gulf, on the other. What will this mean for the region for Syria and for Yemen? In the final hour, we'll try to connenct with political pundit Basil Valentine to discuss the Queen's top priority as Britain's monarch; not government or Parliament - but horses, as well as a report from Glastonbury festival and the Corbynmania going on there. We'll also touch on a big talking point coming out of Left-wing circles at present which is the Universal Basic Income (UBI).
