The NBC Universal TV network has announced it's severing its business ties to Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump.
The decision means that neither the Miss USA pageant, scheduled to take place on 12th July, nor the Miss Universe event will air on the network - both were, until now, jointly owned by NBC and Mr. Trump.
As our New York correspondent Lorna Shaddick reports, the move comes after recent comments made about immigrants by the business and media mogul.
