Trump asserts executive privilege over Mueller report

Mr Trump's first use of presidential secrecy powers.

We'll go to Washington to hear about the contempt proceedings against Attorney General Bill Barr over his refusal to submit an unredacted version of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report. President Donald Trump has hit back by asserting executive privilege over the report, shielding it from public view.

Iran has suspended commitments under the 2015 international nuclear deal, a year after it was abandoned by the US. BBC Persian reporter gives background to the story.

In football, we’ll bring reaction from across the world to Liverpool’s remarkable Champions League comeback; they beat Barcelona at home and are through to final.
