Trump heads to NATO summit amid black cloud over unity


US President Donald Trump has arrived in Turkey to attend the NATO summit, following a sharp rise in tensions between the United States and Iran.

BBC analyst Frank Gardner explains how these developments have cast a "black cloud" over the summit’s discussions of unity and cooperation.
