Coronavirus conversations: Supermarket workers

We hear from three people who carried out their job with great personal sacrifice

This week marks one year since the pandemic was declared and we will be bringing conversations throughout the week with people affected. Today we are starting by hearing from supermarket workers - three people who have worked during the pandemic, a job they have done with great personal sacrifice.

Proceedings begin today in connection with one of the most significant police trials in US history - over the killing of George Floyd last May in Minneapolis. A jury will be selected for the trial of Derek Chauvin - a white officer accused of second-degree murder. We hear from our reporter at the court.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex - Harry and Meghan - have given a dramatic interview with Oprah Winfrey, on US television, accusing the British royal family of failing to protect them and alleging racism. We'll hear from inter-racial couples about their life experiences.

And our regular medical expert, Professor Manfred Green, from the Department of Epidemiology, at the University of Haifa in Israel will talk us through the days coronavirus issues.
