Virginia Attorney General admits wearing blackface in college

Virginia's Attorney General, Mark Herring, has acknowledged that he wore "brown makeup" to a party when he was at university. Mr Herring had joined called for his colleague, Governor Ralph Northam, to resign after an image surfaced from his 1984 medical yearbook page showing a person in blackface, and another in Ku Klux Klan robes. We hear from a local reporter in Virginia, plus a journalist who explains the controversies around blackface.

Also, a man in India says he wants to sue his parents because he did not consent to being born. Raphael Samuel told the BBC that it's wrong to bring children into the world because they have to put up with lifelong suffering.

And we hear the conversation around one of the biggest days in the NBA, the United States' national basketball league. Today is deadline day, where teams have their last chance to trade and sell players.
