The trial of Derek Chauvin, the white American policeman accused of killing George Floyd, is starting on Monday in the city of Minneapolis. The death of Mr Floyd sparked protests in the US and around the world over police brutality and racism. We bring you the latest developments from the trial with the help of our correspondent.
