Government Stops Kanye West Entering UK

About this episode

Kanye West has been blocked from entering the UK because of a backlash against anti-Semitic and neo-Nazi comments he'd made in the past -- forcing the cancellation of a music festival he had been due to headline. The Home Office told BBC News his application had been refused because his presence "would not be conducive to the public good". In other news: President Trump has increased the pressure on Iran's leaders -- warning that a "whole civilisation will die" if Tehran doesn't agree to a deal to end the war. And the health secretary, Wes Streeting, has said a six-day doctors' strike, which began this morning, will leave some patients "waiting in pain or anxiety".
