Over The Crisis Room

Former Home Secretary Amber Rudd, renowned journalist Mark Urban, and decorated former CIA officer Marc Polymeropoulos team up to present The Crisis Room. "The Journalist, The Politician, and The Spy" might sound like the start of a John le Carré thriller - but what’s unfolding in today’s world is all too real. Step inside The Crisis Room where power, politics, and espionage collide. Each week, the team unpicks the biggest crises shaping the UK and the world. With insider perspectives drawn from the gritty underbelly of investigative reporting, the corridors of Westminster, and the shadowy realm of intelligence, they’ll help you understand what’s really happening behind the headlines - and what’s at stake for our future.

A wild week for the West

After a week of high drama in Davos, where leaders from Donald Trump to Mark Carney and Emanuel Macron traded blows and the whole western alliance appeared to be on the brink of collapse, Mark & Amber analyse whether there really is a new world order as the dust starts to settle. They're joined by George Robertson, the former Defence Secretary and Secretary General of NATO who triggered Article 5 after 9/11, to discuss the future of the Transatlantic Alliance, whether America would come to Europe's aid if an ally was invaded, and why Keir Starmer needs to put his money where his mouth is on defence spending. Plus, Marc P dials in from an undisclosed location with his reaction to the week's events, and Trump's bizarre speech at the World Economic Forum. Follow us on social media: @crisisroompod

Q&A: Vance vs Rubio & time for ICE to be shut down?

In this week's Q&A episode, the team looks at whether Vice President JD Vance or Secretary of State Marco Rubio is winning the battle for supremacy in the Republican Party - and how each of them might approach the role of Commander in Chief if they succeed Trump and become the next President of the United States. Amber, Mark, and Marc also break down how the state of the UK's finances became so dire that there is no more money for extra defence spending, and look at whether Trump might decide to refocus his efforts on making Canada the "51st State" again any time soon. Plus, in light of the recent killing of Renee Good by an ICE officer in Minneapolis, The Crisis Room discusses whether the Immigration Agency is still serving a purpose - and responds to a listener question which compares ICE to the Nazis.
