BBC World Service - BBC OS, Protests after Breonna Taylor ruling

Grand jury decide not to charge any officer over her killing

There have been angry protests across the United States following a decision not to prosecute the police who killed Breonna Taylor, a twenty- six year old black woman. She was shot dead when officers raided her apartment in Louisville in March. Protests have taken place there and demonstrators have marched in other US cities, including Los Angeles, Atlanta, New York, Philadelphia and Washington.  We hear from people on the ground in Louisville.

Also, we hear from our reporter in Kenya on a corruption story: Kenyan government officials and business leaders face prosecution over the alleged theft of millions of dollars meant for Covid medical supplies.

And it's national heritage day in South Africa and people are celebrating by taking part in the Jerusalema dance challenge. We'll hear from some of them.
