Trump scraps business forums after CEO resignations

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Could Donald Trump's controversial press conference tear the fabric of the American society? We hear from two African-Americans - a supporter and a critic. The BBC has learned that the London Fire Brigade was closely consulted over the controversial refurbishment of Grenfell Tower - we have a special report. The government wants to maintain a seamless border between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic after Britain leaves the EU - we hear reaction to today's position paper from an Irish business leader and a former Irish Europe minister. And click into the clink: we take a listen to the podcast about life in an American prison. (Picture: Vigil in front of the White House after events in Charlottesville Credit: Getty).
