Trump to send top border offical to Minnesota

President Trump is sending his border tsar amid a growing backlash over the killing of a nurse, Alex Pretti, by federal immigration agents on Saturday, the second fatal shooting there in a month.

We hear a conversation with four people in Minnesota about what they’ve been experiencing and witnessing on the streets over the past few weeks.

We also speak to our BBC Verify reporter who has analysed footage of the Minnesota shooting from multiple angles.

And we have details of a BBC investigation that has found Russia is repeatedly breaking Interpol rules when requesting arrests abroad — leaving people stranded in legal limbo as they wait for their cases to be overturned.

A video of two parents singing Happy Birthday via sign language to their two-year old deaf daughter, Ayanna, has gone viral on social media. We speak to the parents of Ayanna and to another family with similar experiences.

Presenter: Pria Rai.
