Changes made to allies war planning following summit with North Korea.

The US/North Korea in summit in Vietnam ended without an agreement. However, it could be possible that Kim Jong Un did score a diplomatic success as South Korea and the US have announced they are scaling back their joint military exercises.

Also in the programme: IS fighters who want to return to Europe.
