Republicans Clash with Trump on Charlottesville

Senior Republicans condemn President Trump's comments on Charlottesville violence.

President Trump has been widely criticised for restating that anti-racism campaigners and white supremacists were equally to blame for violence at a rally in Charlottesville. But will it have a lasting impact on his support on Capitol Hill?

Also in the programme: a rare report from the Saudi town of Awamiya where the government has been leading military operations in the Shia majority area; and the 40th anniversary of the death of Elvis.
