Donald Trump's son releases emails on Russia meeting

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

US President Donald Trump's son has released an email chain showing he was keen to accept "sensitive" information on Hillary Clinton from a Russian national. We get the reaction of Republican Congressman Francis Rooney and ask former ethics lawyer under George W Bush, Richard Painter, if any of it is illegal. Also, former Health Minister Lord Owen responds to the news that an inquiry will be launched into the contaminated blood scandal of the 1970s. And we hear about new technology pushing the boundaries of fake news - the computers can that replicate human voices. Picture: Donald Trump Jr. Credit: AFP/Getty Images.
