Trump Gives Salvadoreans Deadline to Leave US
Nearly 200,000 Salvadoreans have until 2019 to leave the US, unless they can find a legal way to stay.
The United States says it will cancel the provisional residency permits of about 200,000 people from El Salvador. They were given temporary protected status in 2001 following two major earthquakes in their country.
Also on the programme: a significant day for gay rights in India, and the latest on the burning oil tanker in the East China Sea.
