Trump tells Congress he does not need their approval for Iran war
The World TonightAvailable for over a year
President Trump has told Congress he does not need their authorisation for the Iran war, arguing the ongoing ceasefire means hostilities have "terminated". Also in the programme: As calls grow for restrictions on pro-Palestinian protests to combat rising anti-Semitism in the UK, we hear from one Jewish activist who regularly joins the marches. As Islamist fighters surround the Malian capital, we speak to someone inside the city. And on the trail of London's bats.
