Newsnight

Available for over a year

How do we help one million 16-24 year olds into a job, education, or training? The Prime Minister says he has a fresh plan to boost technical qualifications based on what he did in Manchester. Will it work? We ask a young person who, despite applying for more than 70 jobs, hasn't been able to get one for three years. And as President Trump pauses strikes on Iran to make space for talks, we're looking at American power. Broadcaster David Dimbleby is in the Newsnight studio assessing the state of US leadership.
