Trump: White House never claimed GCHQ spied on him

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Donald Trump distances himself from White House claims that GCHQ spied on him while a senior US security adviser tells us that the reports were "errant nonsense" and it would be "epically stupid" for Britain to undertake such action. We get the latest from our correspondent. Also Caryl Phillips on Derek Walcott, George Osborne reimagined as Mr Benn and the extraordinary footage shot by an Iraqi medic as IS captured his town.
