George Floyd: Derek Chauvin trial resumes

We speak to our correspondent in the city of Minneapolis where the murder trial of the former policeman Derek Chauvin continues. Mr Chauvin is accused of killing George Floyd by kneeling on his neck for more than nine minutes. He denies the charges.

We’ll also hear about a case in Mexico that have parallels with George Floyd’s death. Four police officers have been arrested over the death of a Salvadoran refugee who died after being held facedown by police on a street.

We’ll look at today’s coronavirus stories with one of our regular experts, Dr Swapneil Parikh in India.

We also hear from two mothers whose teenage children have suffered from persistent symptoms, months after testing positive for Covid-19. We’ll also get a specialist in paediatric infectious diseases to explain what is known about children and coronavirus.
