BBC World Service - BBC OS, Kenosha shooting: Protests in US after police shoot black man

Video footage appears to show the man, Jacob Blake, being shot in the back many times

Protests have erupted in the US state of Wisconsin after police shot a black man in the back multiple times. The man, Jason Blake, is in a serious condition in hospital. We have an update from Kenosha.

And Kellyanne Conway says she is resigning from her post as a senior adviser to President Trump. Her daughter Claudia Conway tweeted that her mother’s job has ruined her life, and that she’s pushing for emancipation from her parents. We will explain what emancipation means legally, and bring together those who have sought to emancipate from their parents. 

Also, the US Republican Party Convention begins today. We speak to newspaper editors who, four years ago endorsed Mr Trump. We hear their assessments of President Trump’s first term, and what issues they think are important to Republican voters this time?
