PRESIDENT TRUMP is a big hit with America’s evangelical Christians. They campaign and vote for him and donate money to keep him in power. Trump’s support among this deeply conservative section of the population has increased during his Presidency. He taps into their fears and gives them political power in return for their votes and their cash. The BBC’s White House reporter, Tara

McKelvey, presents TRUMP’S EVANGELICALS (RADIO 4, 11AM), considering their role in U.S. politics, and wondering if their support for the President has its limits.

THE tense and all too believable drama THE GOOD LISTENER (RADIO 4, 2.15PM) follows a team at GCHQ attempting to find the source of a computer virus that has infiltrated the UK’s national grid. Substations

have been infected, and the country could be thrown into darkness and chaos at any minute. Can the GCHQ team neutralise the cyberattack before it’s all too late?

ASTROLOGER and Strictly legend Russell Grant (pictured) brings much cheer to the airwaves as he presents a selection of his favourite hits from musical theatre for FRIDAY NIGHT IS MUSIC NIGHT (RADIO 2, 8PM).
