The killer of George Floyd asks for a new trial

Newsday

Available for over a year

The lawyers for Derek Chauvin, the white former Minneapolis police officer, have asked for a new trial - while he is in jail awaiting sentencing for the murder of George Floyd. We go live to Minnesota. The G7 foreign ministers of rich countries are going to talk about global vaccine distribution. We speak to a campaigner for vaccine equality who's organised a concert. And we look back at Napoleon's legacy, 200 years since his death.
