George Floyd: Jury returns guilty verdicts in Derek Chauvin trial

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

After less than a day of deliberation, jurors have found Derek Chauvin guilty of all charges over George Floyd's death. The jury returned guilty verdicts of second degree murder, third degree murder and manslaughter. The former police officer was filmed kneeling on Floyd for more than nine minutes during his arrest last May. We look at what this means for reform of the justice system. Plans for a football European Super League are in disarray after all of the English clubs withdraw, with others from Europe reportedly on the brink of doing the same. But did it ever make business sense? Plus - we go to India to report on how the country is coping with a surge in coronavirus cases and the emergence of what is thought to be an Indian variant of the virus. And -two trade blocs in sub-Saharan Africa are planning to introduce new currencies. Will it will boost economic growth by making trade smoother? PHOTO: George Floyd Mural/AFP
