Trump cancels Taliban talks

President Trump has cancelled a meeting with the Afghan Taliban, in response to a deadly attack by the group in Kabul, in which a US soldier died. In a series of tweets, Mr Trump revealed that he'd agreed to a remarkable secret meeting with Taliban leaders at Camp David on Sunday, but cancelled it after the group admitted to carrying out the attack.

Also on the programme: the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, has suffered a new blow to his authority with the resignation of a senior cabinet minister in protest at his handling of Brexit. Amber Rudd (who was Work and Pensions Secretary) said that despite the PM's assurances, she no longer believed that his main objective was to negotiate Britain's orderly departure from the European Union. And we also hear from the founder of one of the United States' largest "gay conversion" therapy programmes about his decision to come out as homosexual.
