Donald Trump has fired the acting US attorney general Sally Yates after she questioned the legality of his immigration ban. We hear American voters discuss whether she 'betrayed' the Department of Justice, as the White House put it. Others are describing her as a 'hero'. And, we hear the conversations in Russia around domestic violence, after the lower house of the Russian parliament approved an amendment to enable first-time offenders who beat a family member, but not badly enough to put them in hospital, to not face a prison sentence.
