Trump-Kim summit cancellation a 'sad moment in history'

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

As Donald Trump cancels a planned meeting with Kim Jong-un we ask whether the US President's aspiration was misconceived from the start. As campaigners claim tea-pickers of Assam are living in appalling conditions we ask the head of Typhoo Tea whether our cuppas are coming at too high a price. Also as the BBC's Monitoring Service moves out of its historic home in Caversham, Berkshire we assess the work of the service described as "a vital tool in opening the world to UK diplomacy and business".
