Good morning. A verdict has just been announced in the trial over the police killing of
George Floyd.
Australia’s flawed vaccination program is having devastating ramifications for those stuck abroad.
Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has been found guilty of murder over the killing of George Floyd. US president Joe Biden earlier said he was “praying the verdict is the right verdict” and described theevidence against Chauvin as “overwhelming”. Three thousand National Guard troops have been deployed in Minneapolis and St Paul, a region that has been on edge,
not only about whether there will be violent unrest but also whether justice will be done in the death of Floyd, one of so many Black people killed by police in America. Just nine days ago, police in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Center shot dead 20-year-old Daunte Wright after a traffic stop.

Researchers also found that star ratings don’t predict much when it comes to a product’s future success – for instance, how a movie will go on to perform at the box office. Instead, they found the degree of emotion present in written reviews is a more reliable indicator of how a product will fare in market.
