US President Donald Trump has visited Kenosha, Wisconsin, to back law enforcement after the police shooting of a black man sparked protests.

Kenosha was rocked by days of violence after Jacob Blake was shot in the back by officers.

President Trump defended the actions of US police and accused the media of focusing only on "bad" incidents involving officer and blamed "domestic terror" for the "destruction" in the city.

With the president pushing a strong "law and order" message ahead of November’s election, does the recent violence in US cities offer Trump a clear route back to the White House?

US Correspondent David Grossman reports and Kirsty Wark is joined by Democratic Congresswoman for Michigan, Brenda Lawrence and Democratic politician from Georgia who's now supporting Donald Trump, Vernon Jones.
