Trump to congresswomen of colour: Leave the US

US President Donald Trump has been accused of racism after posting tweets attacking Democratic congresswomen. He said the women "originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe". He was referring to four congresswomen - three who were born in the US and one who came as a child refugee. His remarks have been widely condemned as racist. We hear from Washington.

Also, we hear about a new global study into the eating disorder anorexia nervosa. It suggests that it is at least partly a metabolic disorder, and not purely psychiatric as previously thought.

And South Africa's former President Jacob Zuma has told a judge-led inquiry that allegations of corruption against him were a "conspiracy" aimed at removing him from the political scene. We hear from our correspondent who was at the court.
