As it grapples with deep political division, shifting global influence and questions about its role on the world stage, journalist Stephanie Baker , historian Sarah Churchwell and former British ambassador to the United States Kim Darroch join broadcaster and former North America Editor Justin Webb to examine the past, present and future of the United States.
