Trump memo release reignites Russia row
In-depth reporting and analysis from a global perspective. A Republican memo alleges that the FBI abused surveillance powers during the presidential election.
As Trump clears the release of a controversial memo alleging that the FBI abused its surveillance powers we hear an explanation of its significance and ask Republican and Democratic Party politicians whether the US public will understand anything about the row. Also: is Syria's long civil war heading for a bloody endgame? And as a Maldives court clears the way for the deposed President Nasheed to return - he tells us he'll risk arrest to fight fresh elections. And why relatives of the fallen in Spain's civil war want to reopen General Franco's mausoleum.
