Barack Obama is preparing for the first visit by a sitting US president to the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico for some fifty years.

While Puerto Ricans living in the island - described as "the world's oldest colony" - have no voting rights, more than four million Puerto Ricans living on the mainland United States do.

Kristen Saloomey reports from New York on the preparations for the historic trip.
