South Africa: 25,000 troops deployed after unrest

South Africa has announced a tenfold increase in the number of troops to be deployed in response to widespread violence sparked by the jailing of the former president, Jacob Zuma. KwaZulu-Nata province has seen some of the worst violence, particularly in the town of Phoenix - where police say at least 15 people have been killed as a result of violence between Indian and black communities. We hear from a reporter on the ground as well as from voices in the community.

Also, Instagram has admitted a mistake in its technology meant racist comments and emojis were not removed. It comes after a flood of racist abuse was directed at England footballers Bukayo Saka, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho following the men's Euro 2020 final. We get the latest from our tech reporter.
