From Morning Report, 6:40 am on 27 September 2018

Donald Trump has accused China of interfering in the upcoming United States mid-term elections with the aim of damaging him politically. The US president made the accusation while he was chairing a meeting of the United Nations' Security Council. He suggested the meddling attempts came as retribution for the budding trade war he has waged with Beijing. And President Donald Trump's anti-Iran rhetoric also continued. These comments come a day after Trump accused Iran of sowing "chaos, death and destruction" across the Middle East. New York correspondent Will Denselow talks to Guyon Espiner.
