BBC World Service - Weekend, Trump hints at gun law changes

“Very meaningful” gun background checks could become law, claims Trump

“Very meaningful” gun background checks could become law, claims Trump.

US President Donald Trump has said he thinks “very meaningful background checks” on firearms can be voted into law. It comes in the wake of two mass shootings - one in Dayton, Ohio, the other in El Paso, Texas - in which dozens were killed.

Also in the programme: Kashmir’s uncertain future; and remembering Toni Morrison.
