Before Derek Chauvin was filmed kneeling on George Floyd's neck on a Minneapolis street, they worked together at a nightclub not far from where the incident happened. Chauvin was fired as a Minneapolis police officer after he held Floyd down as Floyd protested "I can't breathe." Protests have since broken out around the 3rd Minneapolis Police Precinct — which is just a block away from the El Nuevo Rodeo restaurant and dance club where Chauvin and Floyd once worked security.

Donald Trump 'terminating' relationship with WHO over coronavirus

President Donald Trump has said the US will be terminating its relationship with the World Health Organisation. The president said it had failed to adequately respond to coronavirus because China has "total control" over the global organisation. He said Chinese officials "ignored" their reporting obligations to the WHO and pressured the group to mislead the world when the virus was first discovered. He noted that the US contributes about 450 million US dollars (£360 million) to the world body while China provides about 40 million dollars (£32 million). The US is the largest source of financial support to the WHO and its exit is expected to significantly weaken the organisation. President Trump said the US would be "redirecting" the money to "other worldwide and deserving urgent global public health needs", without providing specifics. The news comes days after WHO announced their decision to temporarily halt trials of hydroxychloroquine as a potential coronavirus treatment, a drug Mr Trump had triumphed.
