US immigration agent fatally shoots woman in Minneapolis

BBC OS

Available for 24 days

A US immigration agent has shot dead a 37-year-old woman in the city of Minneapolis, sparking protests overnight. We speak to people in the city. US President Donald Trump has signaled that the US intervention in Venezuela could last for several years and also refused to commit to a timeline for Venezuelan elections. Our correspondents explain this, plus we talk about the US policy on Greenland, Somalia and climate change. And there were violent clashes between anti-government protesters and security forces in several locations in Iran on Wednesday, as a wave of unrest sparked by the country's economic crisis continued for an 11th day. We hear a conversation with Iranians in different parts of the world.
