Trump signs law backing Hong Kong protesters

BBC World Service - World Update, Trump signs law backing Hong Kong protesters

China has reacted angrily threatening "counter measures" if the US continues "going down the wrong path".

Mr Trump said he signed the law "out of respect for President Xi and the people of Hong Kong". But China has reacted angrily threatening "counter measures" if the US continues "going down the wrong path".

Also on the programme we'll be hearing from the town of Kapenguria in Kenya about the aftermath of the terrible landslides which have been affecting the region. And the bestselling author Kathy Lette pays tribute to her friend Clive James, the much admired writer, critic, poet and polymath who has died.
