Eighteen countries have ordered out Russian diplomats

US President Donald Trump has ordered 60 Russian diplomats to leave the country. Germany, France, Ukraine, Canada and other European countries have also expelled envoys in a co-ordinated response to the poisoning of a former Russian spy in the UK. We hear the latest.
