The Donald Counts his Enemies

BBC World Service - The World This Week, The Donald Counts his Enemies

Lots of Republican leaders agree that Donald Trump absolutely must not be their candidate in the presidential election. Rather late in the day, they have set out to destroy his candidacy. But will the effect be to stop any Republican being elected president for a generation? Also, Barclays pulls out of Africa; fighting flares up again in Ukraine; and the unlikely pro-reform coalition which made big gains in Iran's parliamentary elections.
