BBC World Service - Newshour, Former President Obama: Don't Fall for Trump's Border 'Stunt'

Obama accuses Trump of cynical politics over plans to send troops to the Mexico border

Obama accuses Trump of cynical politics over plans to send troops to the Mexico border.

The former US president, Barack Obama, has launched a scathing attack on his successor, Donald Trump, for stirring up fear of migrants ahead of Tuesday's mid-term elections. At a campaign rally, Mr Obama ridiculed Republican claims that a caravan of Central American migrants heading north through Mexico represented a threat to the United States.

Also in the programme: Pakistan's government defends an agreement with Islamist hardliners that will ban a Christian woman acquitted of blasphemy from leaving the country; and after the CV of a five year old goes viral in China, we'll discuss with two mothers the challenges of getting their children a place in school.
