Former president says President Trump fanned divisions

Former president says President Trump fanned divisions.

The former US President, Barack Obama, has warned that a lack of commonly held facts - fuelled by conspiracy theories - is causing the United States to become ever more divided and resentful. 

Also in the programme: Peru's interim president, Manuel Merino, has stepped down after less than a week in office; and the French bookshop owner defying lockdown orders to close.
