US: Derek Chauvin calls for a new trial

Newsday

Available for over a year

The legal team for Derek Chauvin, who was found guilty of the murder of George Floyd last month, argue that the process was not impartial because of pre-trial publicity. We ask Jonathan Turley, Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University in Washington DC for his assessment. As G7 leaders discuss their response to the pandemic former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown urges them to do more to give up their vaccine stockpiles to poorer nations. And Tanzania's new president heads to Nairobi, a visit seen as a sign of warming relations between the two East African neighbours. We're live in the Kenyan capital.
