How should UK respond to Russian spy ship?

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

After sending a Royal Navy submarine to intercept a Russian spy ship in UK waters, the defence secretary has delivered a stark message to the Kremlin. How should the UK respond to the threat from Russia, in the new Trump era? The publisher of The Sun has apologised to Prince Harry for intruding into his private life, and has agreed to pay him substantial damages. We ask who the winners are from the phone hacking scandal - after more than a decade in and out of court. And why clichés about elite footballers not being smart are wide of the goalpost.
