Trump cancels concerts for America's 250th birthday - but how else is it celebrating?

US President Donald Trump has told musical acts as part of a planned concert series for America's 250th birthday celebration to "stay at home" - and instead announced what he called a "Rally to end all Rallies" to replace the event after artists pulled out.

A range of events have been planned to celebrate America's birthday, including the rally, a massive fireworks display and an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fight on the White House lawn.

Organisers say the events will celebrate the anniversary, but certain events, including those funded by a body that supports Trump, are leading to questions around whether the celebrations could become politicised.

America250, one of the groups planning celebrations, was established by Congress ten years ago to plan nonpartisan events. Freedom 250, another organization also planning events, was created by Trump and is a public-private partnership.
