Reaction to George Floyd verdict
Ex-officer Derek Chauvin was sentenced to 22.5 years for the murder of George Floyd.
Ex-officer Derek Chauvin was sentenced to 22.5 years for the murder of George Floyd. We hear reaction from Terencio Safford, a social justice campaigner in Minnesota. Also in the programme, Amazon and Google are under investigation in the UK over the prevalence of fake reviews. The 麻豆社's Manuela Saragosa reports on the emergence of the intimacy coordinator role that has arisen on film sets, partly as a result of the #MeToo movement. Plus, South Africa's Rooibos tea has become the first African product to be given protected designation of origin status by the European Union, meaning tea sold with the name in the bloc must come from two particular regions outside Cape Town.
All through the show we are joined by Colin Peacock of Radio New Zealand in Wellington.
