BBC World Service - BBC OS, Trump Fires The Defiant Attorney General

The acting US Attorney General has been fired over the immigration ban.

The acting US Attorney General has been fired after she questioned the legality of Mr Trump's immigration ban.

President Trump sacks his acting Attorney General, Sally Yates, and gets ready to announce his Supreme Court nominee. We get reaction from Washington, Wisconsin and the UK. 

Also today: Myanmar's heroic taxi driver; a third migrant death in a week on the Greek island of Lesbos, and female bus conductors in Kerala, India who have taken drastic action over gender pay gap.

And David Shukman tells the programme about a year-long BBC investigation that has exposed a secret network of wildlife traffickers selling baby chimpanzees.
