Update: Russian Diplomats Expelled

The United States and its European allies are expelling dozens of Russian diplomats in response to the poisoning of a former Russian spy in the UK.

The United States and its European allies are expelling dozens of Russian diplomats in a co-ordinated response to the poisoning of a former Russian spy in the UK. We find out from Thomas Wright, a foreign policy specialist at the Brookings Institution, why the US is leading this expulsion. The US Federal Trade Commission says it's investigating Facebook's privacy policies following the Cambridge Analytica data scandal. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Technology Correspondent Rory Cellan Jones tells us about the surprising amount of data Facebook collects from us. Also in the programme, the eternal Italian city of Rome grapples with a long-standing rubbish problem. We also get a financial markets update from Peter Jankowskis of Oakbrook Investments in Chicago.
