Donald Trump has sacked Rex Tillerson just hours after the Secretary of State linked the nerve agent attack in the UK to Russia. The move will fuel speculation that Trump and Putin enjoy a cosy relationship, and will scupper Theresa May's hopes of US backing in response to the attacks. CIA chief Mike Pompeo, who has in the past played down findings by the CIA that the Russians attempted to influence last year's US election, will replace Tillerson. Trump tweeted the shock sacking of...

Sometimes Hollywood accidentally makes the same film twice in a very short space of time. Notable 90s examples include Armageddon and Deep Impact, Volcano and Dante’s Peak. CB4 came to US cinemas just a couple of months after Rusty Cundieff’s Fear of a Black Hat, another rap spoof featuring a documentarian telling the story of an NWA like group, played at Sundance 1993.
