The European Commission has adopted two data “adequacy decisions” for the UK. This action resolves a major concern after Brexit, that whilst personal data flowing from the UK to the EU member states was regarded as flowing to countries with sufficiently robust data protection, personal data flowing the other way, from the EU to the UK – now a “third country” – was not automatically treated as such.

 Today's Highlighted Video Story:
Greater Manchester Police officers speak to Newsnight over what they say are serious failings at the force. In December, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services found Greater Manchester Police failed to record about 80,000 crimes in a 12-month period and closed cases without proper investigation. Former chief constable Ian Hopkins resigned after the force was placed in special measures, and successor Stephen Watson told a recent press conference vital improvements would be made rapidly. But a number of GMP officers have spoken to BBC Newsnight to allege serious failings within England's second largest force.

A downpayment on justice.

That's what George Floyd's family and supporters are calling the 22-and-a-half year sentence of former police officer, Derek Chauvin. Floyd's murder last year shook the United States - prompting calls against racism and for police reform, and protests worldwide. But for many the sentence is not enough, and they argue racism and discrimination are damaging how the U.S. functions. Floyd's family said it's a first step towards healing the United States. But can that really be achieved?
