Russia 'delaying' Syria UN resolution

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

As the United Nations meets in New York to discuss Syria, we hear from Sweden's Ambassador to the UN, the co-sponsor of a resolution calling for a ceasefire. President Trump says he'll support gun control measures - we speak to a Republican politician from Florida. Ritula travels from Italy to Austria to report on the impact the far-right Freedom Party is having there. Plus, the latest in our series on the politics of water in Africa - Alastair Leithead is in Egypt. And our Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg has spent 8 hours standing outside Chequers - has there been any progress on Brexit talks amongst the cabinet?
