Trump sends National Guard into LA
President Trump's tough immigration policies prompt protests.
US President Donald Trump has deployed 2,000 National Guard troops following clashes at a protest in Los Angeles against his strict immigration policies. His border czar, Tom Homan, says the clampdown is "making Los Angeles safer", but the California Governor Gavin Newsom opposed to the deployment.
Also in the programme: in Italy a two-day referendum could speed up the citizenship process for foreigners; and a report from India on how a tea plantation is tackling climate change.
Joining Julian Worricker are James Lynch, founding co-director of FairSquare human rights group, and Alpa Shah, a writer and Professor in Social Anthropology at All Souls College, Oxford.
