Mike Waltz out as Trump's National Security Adviser

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

President Trump says US National Security Adviser Mike Waltz will leave his post and be nominated to serve as ambassador to the United Nations - we get reaction from Washington DC. Also on the programme: polls have just closed in local elections across parts of England; Stoke-on-Trent’s Moorcroft Pottery goes bust after more than 100 years of trading; and we speak to the daughter of the man who created Thomas the Tank Engine, 80 years after the character first appeared in print.
