BBC World Service - BBC OS, Trump Slams 'Witch Hunt' Against Him

US president took to Twitter to condemn special counsel

The US president took to Twitter to condemn the special counsel set up to investigate alleged meddling by Russia in the US presidential election and any Trump campaign ties. President Trump called it the greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history. We'll hear form his supporters to see if they still have faith in their man.

Also in the programme, we hear from our Somalia service where a number of soldiers from the National Army have taken over the Ministry of Defence headquarters.

And what's wrong, or right, about the Canne Film Festival Palme d'Or going to a Netflix title?
