US Senate runoff: Democrats and Republicans neck and neck

Newsday

Available for over a year

Crucial elections for Georgia's two seats in the US Senate are on a knife- edge. Ninety- seven per cent of returns have been counted, but the outcome is uncertain. We have the latest from Atlanta. The police involved in the shooting in the back of Jacob Blake last August in Kenosha, Wisconsin, will not face prosecution as he had a knife, that’s the decision of the local district attorney. We get the reaction of a mental health professional and community activist in Kenosha. And we report from Nigeria on what actual changes have taken place in legal terms and for prosecutions, after thirty state governors adopted a resolution last year to declare a state of emergency on rape.
