Trump signs executive order on police reforms

Available for over a year

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order introducing police reforms. It offers federal grants to improve police practices and comes amid anger over the killing of African Americans by police officers. Mr Trump said the police played an essential role in society, which must be protected and he said he would not support attempts to defund and dismantle police forces. However, activist and Yale University academic Philip McHarris tells us why he believes defunding the police is the way forward.

Plus, the European Commission has launched an investigation into claims the US technology giant Apple has breached competition law.
