Trump’s 'Dangerous' Autism Claim

Synopsis

President Trump urges pregnant women to stop taking paracetamol as he links the drug to autism in children. Former director of National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, Dr Demetre Daskalakis, tells Newsnight his comments are wrong and dangerous. Plus, in the UK, it’s the Liberal Democrat conference. We speak to their deputy leader Daisy Cooper. And it's 426 days since army veterans who were exposed to nuclear bomb tests asked to see the prime minister. Will he meet them face to face? With Victoria Derbyshire.
