UN human rights chief Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein is quitting his job in frustration, particularly with respect to the policies of US President Donald Trump. Hussein has told his staff he will not be seeking a second term in office at the UN due to the global retreat from human rights. Some members of the European Parliament have reacted to the decision, telling Press TV they are not surprised by the move. Jerome Hughes reports from Brussels.
