The US Supreme Court has struck down President Trump's executive order that sought to end automatic citizenship for people born on American soil. Donald Trump described the ruling as "too bad", but claimed Congress could tackle the issue through legislation. Also in the programme: one of the greatest players of all time, Serena Williams, returns to the tennis court four year after hanging up her racket; and the granddaughter of legendary Indian singer Asha Bhosle explains why she took to the stage in London in her memory.
