Trump blames Democrats over migrant separation policy

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

President Trump has blamed the Democrats for his policy of separating the children of migrants from their parents -- we hear from a congressman who has visited the shelters today and from a Trump supporter. Angela Merkel's interior minister gives her an ultimatum on migration -- strike a Europe wide deal by the end of the month or migrants will be turned away at the German border. As the prime minister admits that taxes will have to rise to pay for an NHS funding boost - we discuss whether the move marks a departure for the Conservative party. And we continue our Russian odyssey with Jamie Coomarasamy in a city of Kostroma asking what Russians think about the Me Too movement..
