US ambassador: special relationship continues to thrive

The US ambassador to the United Kingdom has insisted the special relationship between the two countries "continues to thrive" despite President Obama's criticism of David Cameron over the intervention in Libya in 2011.

But US ambassador Matthew Barzun told Edward Stourton on Radio 4's World at One that people should not "over-focus on one interview."
