Protests demanding an end to inequality and police brutality gather momentum

Protests demanding an end to inequality and police brutality continue into their third week

Thousands continue their protest against the racist killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police two weeks ago. We talk to Aleem Maqbool in Washington DC about why the demonstrations look set to continue and Peter Bowes in Los Angeles tells us how the protests are changing in nature.
Elsewhere, the economist Cornelia Meyer gives her reaction to news that oil producing countries will continue to slash production and David Malpass, President of the World Bank, calls the pandemic 'a catastrophe' for the global economy.
