Our latest mini series is here and this time we're profiling some of the key players in Donald Trump's presidency, who are now running America. Stephen Miller is one of the most powerful people in government who many have never heard of. He’s the new White House deputy chief of staff for policy. Previously - and unusually - he also served as a senior advisor in President Trump’s first term. He is the architect behind many of the most controversial Trump policies, and is often seen next to the president in the Oval Office. So who is he and how has he survived so long?Anthony is joined by Jonathan Blitzer, a staff writer at The New Yorker who has followed Miller’s political career, and former camp-mate Chris Moody, who reveals what a teenage Miller was really like.HOSTS: • Anthony Zurcher, North America CorrespondentGUESTS: Jonathan Blitzer, staff writer at The New YorkerGET IN TOUCH: • Join our online community: https://discord.gg/qSrxqNcmRB • Send us a message or voice note via WhatsApp to +44 330 123 9480 • Email Americast@bbc.co.uk • Or use #Americast This episode was made by Keiligh Baker with Claire Betzer and Joe McFadden.

The past week has seen international diplomacy turned upside down as the US began talks with Russia to end the war in Ukraine. The decision to exclude Ukraine - and Europe - from these talks led to an emergency summit in which European countries sought to establish some influence over the process.But with the US and Ukrainian presidents embroiled in a dispute that led to Trump calling Zelensky a “dictator”, is their relationship beyond repair? And will Ukraine have any say over the terms of a peace deal? Newscast, Americast and Ukrainecast gathered in the studio for a special collaboration to unpack the enormous shift in international politics that’s unfolding.HOSTS:Adam Fleming, Newscast Presenter Alex Forsyth, Political Correspondent Justin Webb, Radio 4 Presenter Marianna Spring, Social Media Investigations Correspondent Vitaly Shevchenko, Russia Editor at BBC MonitoringGET IN TOUCH: • Join our online community: https://discord.gg/qSrxqNcmRB • Send us a message or voice note via WhatsApp to +44 330 123 9480 • Email Americast@bbc.co.uk • Or use #AmericastIf you want to be notified every time we publish a new episode, please subscribe to us on BBC Sounds by hitting the subscribe button on the app.You can now listen to Americast on a smart speaker.
