The Metropolitan Police has a database of people it believes are gang members – it’s called the gangs violence matrix, and most of the people on it are black. We speak to lawyer Lana Adamou and musician Awate Suleiman who are taking the police to court, arguing the system is discriminatory.
Also, we hear from Taylor Epps, a reporter in Buffalo, New York, where 10 people have been killed and three more injured in a mass shooting. The suspect, an 18-year-old white man, targeted a predominantly black neighbourhood.
