BBC Radio 4 - The World Tonight, Trump-Kim summit cancellation a 'sad moment in history'

Trump cancels planned US-North Korea meeting citing Pyongyang's 'open hostility'.

In-depth reporting and analysis from a global perspective.

As Donald Trump cancels a planned meeting with Kim Jong-un we ask whether the US President's aspiration was misconceived from the start. As campaigners claim tea-pickers of Assam are living in appalling conditions we ask the head of Typhoo Tea whether our cuppas are coming at too high a price. Also as the BBC's Monitoring Service moves out of its historic home in Caversham, Berkshire we assess the work of the service described as "a vital tool in opening the world to UK diplomacy and business".

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
