Trump 'shithole' insult condemned around the world

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Is President Trump racist? There's widespread outrage over comments he's said to have made about developing countries. He denies it - we'll hear from the African Union spokesperson Ebba Kalondo; leading black Congressman William Lacy Clay; and one of the President's supporters Pastor Mark Burns. The UK's man at the UN is leaving his post after nearly 3 years. We speak to Matthew Rycroft about Korea, Iran, and other global flashpoints. Also: as India's top judges launch an unprecedented attack on their boss, accusing him of putting democracy at risk, we speak to leading lawyer Indira Jaising. And we find out what it was like for women in Saudi Arabia who were allowed to attend a football match for the first time. Picture: Donald Trump Credit: Reuters.
