BBC World Service - The World This Week, 'You're fired!' Trump sacks Comey

The American president stunned Washington by dismissing the FBI director.

Donald Trump became a television personality by saying 'You're fired!' Now he's said it to the man heading the probe into suspected Russian links with his presidential campaign. He denies it's a cover-up, but the word on people's lips in Washington is Watergate.
