Priti Patel quits over unauthorised Israeli meetings

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

As the International Development Secretary, Priti Patel, resigns over her unauthorised contact with Israeli politicians, we ask where does it the leave the Prime Minister and what effect will the apparent turmoil at the top table have on Brexit negotiations? Also, the US Democrats finally have something to cheer about but will their successes in governor elections have an impact on national politics? The Spanish government offers an olive branch to the Catalans, we ask a senior Catalan politician whether it will be grasped and we hear why so many French farmers are taking their own lives.
