US Strike 'Took Out 20% of Syria's planes'

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

But has US policy on Syria really changed? We talk to a former George W. Bush adviser and ask what further sanctions could be imposed on Russia. Hundreds of mourners have attended funerals for victims of two bombings at Coptic Christian churches in Egypt - how much of a threat is Islamic State for the government of president Sisi? And the US, Canada and Mexico bid to stage the 2026 World Cup - we talk to the former FA chairman Greg Dyke. (Picture: Rex Tillerson and Boris Johnson at a G7 meeting in Lucca Credit: Reuters).
