BBC World Service - BBC OS, Trump condemns white supremacy

President Trump's condemnation follows mass shootings that left 29 dead in Texas and Ohio

US President Donald Trump has condemned "racism, hatred and white supremacy" after mass shootings that left 29 people dead in Texas and Ohio over the weekend. In his address, he called for mental health gun control reforms and the death penalty for those behind the shootings. We get the latest.

Also, we talk about why India's government has revoked part of the constitution that gives Indian-administered Kashmir special status. This unprecedented move is likely to cause unrest.

And we hear about the #RevolutionIsNow protests in Nigeria, where security officers fired tear gas and made arrests in Lagos.
