Minnesota: Government account of protester killing conflicts with witness testimony

Newshour

Expires on Tuesday 2:00pm

There's been renewed protests and anger in Minneapolis following the fatal shooting of a man by federal immigration agents; the second such incident in the US city in three weeks. Also on the programme, a third and final stage of voting is taking place in Myanmar in what are widely viewed as sham elections; and, a new record for sailing round the world.
