We look at what led to his resignation - and what a chief of staff actually does.

Another White House departure -- President Donald Trump has announced that his chief of staff John Kelly will leave his job by the end of the year. We look at what led to his resignation - and what a chief of staff actually does.

Also in the programme; Armenians vote in a snap election - and how sex robots have become a little more life-like.

Pascale Harter discusses these topics and more with Vicky Pryce, Greek-born British economist based in London and Daniel Glaser, a British neuroscientist and writer.
