Trump says he does not want Somalis in US

We hear reactions from Somalia to President Trump's comments.

US President Donald Trump has said he does not want Somali immigrants in the US, telling reporters they should "go back to where they came from" and "their country is no good for a reason". His disparaging comments came as immigration authorities were reported to be planning an enforcement operation in Minnesota's large Somali community. We hear reactions from Somalia and speak to our correspondent.
