Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says he has contacted the US administration after an Australian journalist was shot in the leg with a rubber bullet while covering the immigration protests in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, a convoy of buses transporting about 700 Marines has departed for Los Angeles. US President Donald Trump earlier doubled the number of National Guard troops in the city, on top of the 2,000 he deployed over the weekend. Clashes between demonstrators and federal military forces have entered their fourth day. Nick Harper reports from Washington DC.
