The downfall of US Secret Service chief

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

The head of US Secret Service has resigned following the attempted assassination of Donald Trump - hours after facing an extraordinary grilling in Congress. We have reaction from one of the Republican lawmakers on the committee that questioned her. Also on the programme: Seven Labour MPs have had the whip suspended after voting against the government in favour of scrapping the two-child benefit cap. We have the latest from Westminster. We hear from the husband of an American journalist who's been jailed for six and a half years in Russia for allegedly spreading "false information". And as Team GB says it'll offer athletes military-style “decompression” counselling at the end of the Paris Olympics to help them deal with the “post-Games blues”, we speak to the swimmer Rebecca Adlington about sporting moodswings.
