Iraq abuse inquiry scrapped
In-depth reporting and analysis from a global perspective as the government announces that the Iraq troop abuse inquiry will close.
A government unit set up to investigate allegations of abuse made against British troops who served in Iraq is to be shut down - having failed to bring a single successful prosecution against any veteran. We speak to former head of the army Gen Sir Mike Jackson and John Cooper, a leading human rights barrister. Also the Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and President Trump engage in 'golf diplomacy'. In our latest report from the Philippines - why has there been so little public opposition to a drugs war that has so far cost 7000 lives? And why did the 91热爆 drop a tongue-in-cheek video previewing a six nations rugby match?
