BBC World Service - Weekend, Senior FBI Official Sacked

The US Justice department fires Andrew McCabe, whom President Trump had accused of bias.

The US Attorney General Jeff Sessions has fired FBI official Andrew McCabe, who has frequently been accused of bias by President Trump, two days before he was due to retire. Mr McCabe was closely involved in the FBI investigations into Hilary Clinton's use of emails and Russia's alleged meddling in the 2016 US presidential campaign. Also on the programme the Chinese Parliament approves the reappointment of President Xi Jinping for another five year term and we hear from the American singer Ricky Lee Jones.
