Today's Video Focus:  In partial footage obtained by the Daily Mail from the body cameras worn by two of the now-former Minneapolis police officers involved in the arrest of George Floyd, a panicked Floyd can be seen struggling with officers while in the back of a squad car in the minutes before his death, saying, "I can't breathe." Moments later, following the struggle, Officer Thomas Lane can be heard asking Officer Derek Chauvin whether Floyd should be rolled on his side. Floyd died May 25 while in custody, and the incident -- which was also recorded on cell phone video -- set off protests that soon went nationwide. The demonstrations over his killing and the deaths of other African Americans at the hands of police prompted intense discussions on racism in America.



Focus of the Day Article:  MPs have expressed concern that law firms, chambers and law centres may collapse because of the impact of Covid-19. They also called on the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) to set out how it will ensure Covid-19 does not disproportionately affect the incomes of Black, Asian and minority ethnic, or state-educated, legal professionals.

Today's Video Focus:  Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has denied playing any role in picking a charity with ties to his family to manage a major government programme. Testifying to the House of Commons, he rejected any involvement by him or his staff in the programme that has caused a huge political controversy in Canada.
