What's the fallout of the US security breach? | Inside Story

'Damage control' is how many are describing the Trump administration's handling of a leak of highly sensitive information.
Eighteen senior officials -- including the CIA director, the defence secretary, the national security adviser and the vice president -- were part of an online group chat that's gone viral.
An American journalist was also on that chat -- and was made privy to US plans to strike Houthi positions in Yemen – before they happened.
The breach is raising questions about the handling of military intelligence and top-secret information.
So, will there be consequences beyond Washington?
And how will long-time allies in Europe respond to being criticised in the chat?

Presenter: James Bays

Guests:
Glenn Carle -- US national security specialist and former CIA officer

Jamie Gaskarth -- Professor of Foreign Policy and International Relations at Open University

PJ Crowley -- Former US Assistant Secretary of State and senior director on the National Security Council
