Minnesota: Border patrol commander to leave the city

Trump's border tsar Tom Homan is coming to the city to take over on-the-ground operations.

Police say they arrested several people during protests outside a hotel where Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino was believed to be staying last night. Bovino and some immigration agents are leaving Minneapolis following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, making way for Trump's border tsar Tom Homan to take over on-the-ground operations. We speak to local journalists about what's been happening over the past few weeks.

Pop star Gary Barlow has spoken out about his struggles with eating disorders in a new documentary. We speak to men who have had them in the past to hear their experiences.

We hear from people in the US who are experiencing a deadly winter storm.
