UK ambassador to the US resigns over leaked emails

Sir Kim Darroch's emails were critical of President Trump's administration

Sir Kim Darroch has resigned as UK ambassador to the US after leaked emails showed him being critical of President Donald Trump's administration. We talk to Sir Simon Fraser, who was head of the UK's diplomatic service until 2015.

Also in the programme: We hear from Iran's ambassador to the UN, who says Europe should do more to compensate Tehran for the economic losses caused by US sanctions. And we go to New York as the US women’s national soccer team celebrate winning the World Cup with a ticker-tape parade.
