Protests erupt in the US over Alex Pretti shooting in Minnesota – The Latest

26 January - 11 mins
Podcast Series Today in Focus

US federal agents shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on Saturday, the second such killing in the city in less than three weeks. Pretti was an intensive care nurse with no criminal record, yet authorities raced to portray him as a violent ‘gunman’ who threatened to ‘massacre’ law enforcement. Video evidence directly contradicts this account. Protests have since erupted across the US and the Trump administration has said it is ‘reviewing’ the incident. Lucy Hough speaks to the Guardian columnist Moira Donegan. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/infocus

Trump rescinded his threat to seize the Danish territory of Greenland, and launched his so-called board of peace for Gaza. It’s been a chaotic week in Trumpworld – but there is increasing resistance from other world leaders, and signs of an emergent new world order.
