President Joe Biden said the conviction of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in the killing of George Floyd “can be a giant step forward” for the nation in the fight against systemic racism.

Mr Biden spoke from the White House hours after Tuesday’s verdict alongside Vice President Kamala Harris, with the pair saying the country’s work on racial inequality was far from finished with the verdict.
“We can’t stop here,” Mr Biden declared.

Slashing humanitarian aid for Yemen will condemn children to starvation, a minister has said. Credit: AP
The UK has been accused of abandoning its moral obligations which will condemn thousands of children to starvation after slashing its aid pledge to war-torn Yemen for a second time.
Government ministers have pledged £87 million in aid response to the country which has seen 4 million people displaced and thousands of children killed by famine and disease.
The aid ring-fenced is less than half the £200 million originally pledged in 2019 which was slashed to £160 million in 2019.
Former Conservative international development secretary Andrew Mitchell said the reduced aid was an unimaginable move that would condemn hundreds of thousands of children to starvation .
