BBC World Service - Weekend, Memphis police beating video released

Footage of Memphis police beating 29-year-old black man Tyre Nichols has been released

The city of Memphis in the US has released body cam footage of five police officers beating Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old black man. Nichols died as the result of the injuries he sustained during the attack. The officers, all black, have been dismissed from the police department.

Also on Weekend: At least seven are killed when a gunman opens fire outside a synagogue in East Jerusalem; and the Russian citizens persecuted for criticising the war invasion of Ukraine. 

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss this and more in the studio in London are Catherine Barnard, Professor of European Union Law at the University of Cambridge, and Jeff Kofman, a former journalist for ABC and CBC who now runs a tech company.
