The internet is swirling with conspiracy theories about the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner.
Why do some people think the shooting was ‘staged’?
James Matthews and David Blevins discuss as David goes back to the hotel where it happened for the first time since the dinner.
Also, things are getting spiky in the days before Trump meets President Xi. War could once again be on the cards in the Middle East.
Tensions are overspilling… familiar story much?
And- the Supreme Court is getting involved with abortion. Again.

[upbeat music] Sky News, the full story first.
James Matthews· Host0:05
David, I see that Donald Trump's been talking again about how the king and queen liked the Oval Office.
David Blevins· Host0:15
Yes, he keeps boasting that their response to his decor was, "That's really something."
Donald Trump· Soundbite0:20
They came into the Oval Office, they said, "This is something." And they've seen some very nice places. They've seen some great rooms.
James Matthews· Host0:28
Which is from the lexicon of compliments that might not be compliments. I can see them texting him with, "WTF?" [laughs] And Donald Trump reading it as, "Wow, that's fantastic." [laughs] [laughs] [upbeat music] I'm James Matthews.
David Blevins· Host0:45
And I'm David Blevins, both of us right here in the Trump 100 studio in Washington, DC.
James Matthews· Host0:50
A tenuous truce in the Middle East, but for how long? Missiles are being fired, drones are back in the air, and the Americans say they've sunk Iranian military boats. We are back to the brink.
David Blevins· Host1:03
Donald Trump was back in front of the cameras on Monday afternoon. We'll digest everything he said. That won't take very long. Plus, the Supreme Court has abortion back on its mind.
James Matthews· Host1:13
And David, you've gone back to the scene of the shooting at the Correspondents' Dinner, yeah?
David Blevins· Host1:18
Yes, back to the ballroom. It looked a little different, even if the memories were the same. We'll reflect and consider the conspiracy theories, the ones that say it was all staged.
