Explosive Trump book goes on sale

In-depth reporting and analysis from a global perspective. As Michael Wolff defends his book Fire and Fury, will it make any difference to Trump's presidency?

We ask a key Republican supporter of Trump whether Michael Wolff's book will make any difference to support for the President. And our North America editor Jon Sopel gives us his assessment. Also: Russia and the United States clash at the UN Security Council over anti-government protests in Iran. Asma Jahangir - the UN's special rapporteur for human rights in Iran - tells us Tehran had a "poor" record on the issue, and called on it to reveal how many protesters had been arrested, and on what charges. Also: as Germany inches towards a new grand coalition government why was the controversial Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban invited to address the CSU party's conference. We hear from our Berlin correspondent and Stephan Mayer, a senior CSU MP. And the new play exploring the writer Iris Chang's book The Rape of Nanjing, which is thought to have contributed to her suicide.
