A bombshell interview with Harry and Meghan, a 'burqa ban' in Switzerland, and alarming new data on disappearing rainforests The trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for the death of George Floyd is due to begin today with the screening of jurors to weigh murder and manslaughter charges in a case seen as a referendum on police violence against Black Americans. From the crack of the baseball bat in Florida to clinking of cocktails in San Francisco bars, the sounds of spring are in the air as Americans start to return to many of the beloved pastimes they were forced to abandon 12 months ago. The two top Democrats in New York’s state legislature say that sexual harassment allegations leveled against Governor Andrew Cuomo by five women, most of them former aides, have undermined his ability to lead and he should resign. Meghan, the wife of Prince Harry, has accused Britain’s royal family of raising concerns about how dark their son’s skin might be and pushing her to the brink of suicide, in a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey. It was their first major TV interview since stepping back from the royal family a year ago - read the reactions here. |
