Trump defends sharing sensitive information with Russia

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

As US President Donald Trump comes out to defend his sharing of highly classified information with the Russian foreign minister we speak to a former US ambassador of Israel to assess the potential damage to US security. We hear about a new science centre in Jordan which is uniting scientists from all over the Middle East. And has Labour's manifesto been properly "costed" or does its perceived lack of economic competency means it faces extra scrutiny? We speak to former Labour City Minister, Lord Myners.
