Cleveland Indians baseball team to change name, while Trump blasts 'cancel culture'

The Major League baseball team for the US city of Cleveland will drop the name "Indians" after Native American groups criticised the moniker as racist.

The team has used the nickname for more than a century but it has been under pressure to make the change for some time.

The team owners have not yet announced a replacement name.

US President Donald Trump has tweeted that dropping the name is "cancel culture at work".

More to come.
