Further leaks of diplomatic briefings critical of President appear in UK press.

Former Obama-era National Security Advisor Rob Malley tells Weekend about the possible fall out from diplomatic leaks in the British press. President Trump's decision to pull out of the Iran agreement was “diplomatic vandalism”, according to reports.  

Also in the programme: Romania’s ‘graftbuster’ sets her sights on the European Union; and the United Nation’s assessment of the migrant issue in Libya.
