BBC World Service - BBC OS, Brazilian man allegedly gassed to death in police car

We find out about the death of a black man in a police car in Brazil

There has been outrage in Brazil over the death of a mentally ill black man in Brazil who was allegedly gassed to death in a police car. We speak to our correspondent and hear reaction from Brazil.

We find out more about the criticism the police are facing over the response in the Uvalde school shooting in Texas. 

Following the shooting, some scheduled speakers have backed out of the convention of the National Rifle Association that starts today in Houston. We explain why the NRA - the most powerful organisation in the US lobbying for gun owner rights - is so influential and what is expected from the convention.

We speak to young gun owners in America about why they have bought or were given firearms.

And we go back to Senegal to talk about the aftermath of the deaths of 11 babies in a fire at the maternity hospital.
