Closing arguments in Derek Chauvin trial
We hear closing arguments in the trial of Derek Chauvin over the death of George Floyd
We'll go live to our correspondent in the city of Minneapolis where the jury has been hearing closing arguments in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the white American policeman accused of killing George Floyd in May last year.
We discuss the controversial plan for a new European football Super League. Six English Premier League clubs are among 12 clubs who have agreed to join the new ESL league. The other founding clubs include Barcelona, Real Madrid, AC Milan and Inter Milan. We’ll explain how the new competition would work and the business model it’s based on and also look at what this would mean for the future of European and domestic competitions. We also bring together fans and football experts from around the world to reflect the widespread opposition that’s been voiced against the plan. And we hear from those who like the plan and think the games would be exciting ones to watch.
Our coronavirus expert, Dr Manfred Green in Israel, will answer some more audience questions about the virus.
