Buffalo: Tackling white supremacy
President Biden says 'white supremacy is a poison.'
After the racist attack in a predominantly black neighbourhood of Buffalo, New York, we hear another conversation about racially motivated hate crimes in the United States and the rise of white supremacy and the far-right. The suspect, who is white, allegedly posted a manifesto online and livestreamed the fatal shooting of 10 people at a supermarket.
Also, President Biden has invoked special powers to address the shortage of baby milk formula. The shortfall has prompted health authorities to issue warnings against using homemade formula. We have the latest from our business reporter in New York.
We also hear about the UN's warning of a global food crisis over the war in Ukraine. We explain how much wheat Ukraine produces and how the disruption in supplies is affecting other countries, particularly in the Arabic-speaking world.
