Minnesota: Daunte Wright shooting
Reaction after police say Daunte Wright died when an officer mistook her gun for a Taser
We reflect the conversations being had by people in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota after police said Daunte Wright, a 20 year old African American, was shot and died after an officer mistook her gun for a Taser during a traffic stop. In a courtroom just a few miles away, ex-police officer Derek Chauvin is on trial, charged with murdering George Floyd in May last year. About 40 people have been arrested just north of Minneapolis following a second night of unrest. We get the latest from our reporter on the ground.
Also we are joined by our colleague from BBC Brasil to hear the latest on the pandemic in the country.
