LA PROTESTSTensions are still running high in Los Angeles after days of protests in the city. A lot has happened in the past 24 hours in LA, on the fourth straight day of protests against the US Government's controversial immigration crackdown. Dozens of protesters have now been arrested as some continue to clash with local law enforcements officers and the national guard. While an Australian journalist has made headlines across the world after being shot by a rubber bullet live on camera yesterday. California's Attorney General also announced this, accusing Mr Trump of escalating an already intense situation and acting beyond his powers as president by sending in National Guard troops on the weekend. But Mr Trump says they're needed there to keep some of the protests from spiralling out of control. The US government also announced it would be deploying about 700 marines to LA until more National Guard troops get there and people across the country are watching closely to see what happens PRICESIf you're a fan of blueberries, well, I hope you're also very rich.

Well, that's the case for these students at a bi-lingual school in Melbourne. So this school's probably a lot like yours, but there's one big difference, it's bilingual. That means that half the lessons here are taught in another language. This kind of setup is popular for families who've moved here from another country, so kids can stay connected to their culture.

And these guys say, while it can be tough sometimes the hard work pays SNOWFirst up, to the town of Orange, which isn't looking very orange right now, it's looking pretty white.

Donald Trump orders US Marines to be deployed in LA as protests continue
Dozens of people have been arrested as protests on the streets of Los Angeles continued for the fourth straight day. President Trump has deployed an extra 2000 National Guard troops and around 700 marines to "restore order". It's a significant escalation. This is the first time in more than 30 years that the US Marine Corps have been mobilised to respond to street protests. California Governor Gavin Newsom has accused the president of acting like a dictator and has now filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration. 7.30's David Speers interviews Christopher Grimes, the Los Angeles bureau chief for the Financial Times.
