This comes after a white protester was killed  during clashes between rival supporters.

The mayor of Portland, Oregon, Ted Wheeler and President Trump have engaged in a heated argument after a volatile week-end where Trump supporters and Black Lives Matters supporters clashed and a white protester was killed. 

We speak to Sir Mark Lowcock, the UN's Under Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs about the huge problems facing local aid agencies in many of the world's poorer countries as they try and help vulnerable communities during the pandemic.
