Trump, and the politicisation of a civil rights icon's death

A civil rights icon, Reverend Jesse Jackson, died on Tuesday at the age of 84. Americans grieve a man who helped shape modern America.

Donald Trump weighs in - and gets political. Why?

In Geneva, American and Iranian officials attempt to thrash out a nuclear deal. There are optimistic noises… but POTUS and the supreme leader are still fire warning shots at one another.

And a row breaks out over a late night chat show interview pulled by CBS. Critics say the network is kowtowing to the administration.
