LA Protests and Donald Trump's crackdown

Kate Adie presents stories from the US, DRC, Hungary, Nigeria and Italy. There's been a heavy crackdown in Los Angeles after more than a week of protests over US immigration raids. Federal police had been targeting undocumented migrants in workplaces across the city. In a marked escalation, President Trump deployed the National Guard and the Marines, which drew sharp criticism from California's governor, Gavin Newsom. John Sudworth followed the story. Hugh Kinsella Cunningham visits a mental health clinic in South Kivu in Democratic Republic of Congo, where he hears from psychotherapists how they are helping people deal with trauma. Earlier this year, the Rwanda-backed M23 rebel group took control of Goma and Bukavu, in the latest chapter of a conflict that has blighted the lives of civilians for decades. Ellie House has visited Hungary's east where a vast Chinese-owned lithium-ion battery plan is under construction. She hears how China's forays into the European EV market are being welcomed by PM Victor Orban, but with trepidation by some locals. In Nigeria, a small town in Ogun state transforms into a vibrant cultural festival each year, drawing business leaders, traditional rulers and visitors from the diaspora. It celebrates the cultural identity of the Yoruba people. Nkechi Ogbonna went to watch the festivities which had a political undertone. And finally, Alice Gioia has been in Italy's north, to the town of Pavia, where the Pavese dialect is fast dying out. Across Italy, 90 per cent of the population using these dialects are over seventy. She reflects on what the loss of the Pavese dialect will mean for her.
