Russia and Turkey 'normalise relations'

The presidents of Russia and Turkey say they 'share a common goal of resolving the Syria crisis' following a meeting in St Petersburg.

As Presidents Erdogan and Putin meet in Russia the former Nato chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen tells us the meeting is a "calculated slight to the West" and Putin is trying to drive a wedge between Turkey and its Nato allies. Also on the programme: who's peddling conspiracy theories in the Labour party's internal feud? And former GB Olympic medalist Sharron Davies on the athletes criticising Russian peers in Rio.
