US drops 'mother of all bombs'

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

As the US drops its biggest non-nuclear weapon at ISIS targets in Afghanistan, we ask what the show of military might is all about and could it be sending a message to North Korea? As the anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement approaches we have a special report on re-ignited hopes for a re-unified Ireland. Plus, the people of Skegness upset over their mascot's portrayal on the front cover of a pro EU newspaper. (Image: Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) Weapon Testing In Florida. Credit: Getty).
