Saudi Arabia 'admits Yemen funeral bombing'

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

As Saudi Arabia privately admits attacking a funeral in Yemen, the chair of the Committee on Arms Export Controls Chris White tells us arms sales to the Gulf state should be halted. Also we debate whether the people's parliament or the Queen's Ministers are sovereign with Conservative MPs Stephen Phillips and Craig Mackinlay. And as Republicans distance themselves from Donald Trump, social critic Thomas Frank tells us why another Clinton in the White House would be a disaster for the party he supports.
