US President Donald Trump has branded the Democratic mayor of Kenosha "a fool", accusing him of standing up for "radical anarchists". Wisconsin is a pivotal state in Mr Trump's bid to win a second term and some Democrats said the visit is an election stunt.

Also in the programme: The French president, Emmanuel Macron, visits Lebanon for second time in less than a month; and we look into Hungary and prime minister Viktor Orban’s immigration policy.
