What has happened to President Trump's hopes of resetting relations with Russia?

As US secretary of state Rex Tillerson visits Moscow, The World Tonight asks what has happened to Trump's hopes of resetting relations with Russia?

As US state secretary Rex Tillerson visits Moscow we ask what has happened to Trump's hopes of resetting relations with Russia. We get the latest on protests in Budapest and hear from Sri Lanka eight years after the civil war but no closer to real reconciliation. Plus, squatting then and now - we hear from a group trying to rehouse the homeless in Oxford.
