Further resignation over Mandelson | Music Fan Association

About this episode

The episode discusses recent political resignations, international conflicts, immigration issues, and the music industry's ticket resale practices.

The top civil servant at the Foreign Office, Sir Olly Robbins, will leave his position over the decision to make Peter Mandelson ambassador to the US- but will this relieve the pressure on the PM? A 10 day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon came into effect last night, but Israel has been accused of continuing to carry out attacks. An immigration officer in the US has been charged with assault for allegedly pointing his gun at people in a car. Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr is the first ICE agent to be charged with assault in Minnesota. Ministers are being urged to ban the resale of concert tickets above face value. A new report into the music industry claims fans are being "ripped off". There will be a Midlands derby in the Europa League Semi-Finals between Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest at the end of the month. Leah and Kamali have the day's news in just 10 minutes.
