Young, black and more likely to die in Brazil – BBC News
In Brazil, thousands of people are killed by the police every year.
Together with a local NGO, the Brazilian Forum of Public Safety, BBC Brazil investigation set out to uncover who is most at risk of lethal police violence there.
After examining more than 1200 profiles of those killed in 2020, it found that in Rio de Janeiro state alone, 75% of all those who died were black Brazilians.
Both Ana-Paula Rocha and Rafaela Coutinho Matos lost their sons in incidents involving the police. They’ve told the BBC their stories.
In both cases, the authorities have confirmed that no one has been arrested but that an investigation is on-going.

Along with her husband Prince Harry, Meghan has been visiting charities in Nottingham – the city where they made their first official engagement together nine years ago.
But after six years away, will the public welcome her back? And how will this all sit with the Royal Family now the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are private citizens?

Saudi Arabia has said three people have been killed after the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen attacked Riyadh airport on Thursday.
It’s the latest in series of attacks on airports across the country, as the conflict escalates between Saudi-supported Yemeni government forces and the Houthis.
Elsewhere a US Treasury official has told the BBC that economic pressure from America has Tehran ‘on its knees’, and they hope the tactic will end the current regime in Iran.
Meanwhile Iran’s president has said his country will not walk away from peace negotiations, despite threats from the United States.

Booker prize winner Margaret Atwood describes herself as an “observer,” but in her many novels she has often offered us a portal to understanding, be it about totalitarianism, or the idea of other forms of life, future and past.
In her latest book, Old Babes in the Woods, she navigates death and the loss of loved ones, in short stories which are both acerbic and hilarious, as well as adding to her fantastical oeuvre, such as an octopus-like creature narrating its own interpretation of a folk tale.
Seven of the stories feature the characters Tig and Nell, a thinly-veiled portrayal of Atwood and her long-life partner Graeme Gibson who died four years ago. Margaret Atwood began her interview with Kirsty Wark with a reading from the darkly funny story, Widows.

The former leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, Jeffrey Donaldson, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for a series of child sex offences, including rape.
Donaldson was convicted in June of 18 offences, which he committed against two women when they were children, between 1985 and 2008.
Reading victim statements, the sentencing judge said one woman grew up feeling ashamed, while the other said: “every day I pray God will let me die”.

Percentage less white peoples means less white deaths. Or poor to rich ratio. Poorer people are more likely to be caught up in crime.

A couple of years ago I was going to meet a girl in another part of Rio so I took an Uber from where I was staying in Barra. The driver went through the tolls and apparently they had an "operation" going on (police checkpoint). Me being on vacation and oblivious, I dropped my phone in the car, reached down to get it and all of a sudden I heard shouting in Portuguese. The driver wasn't saying anything but had stopped the car. Then I noticed a police coming towards the car with his rifle pointed at us. He yelled to get out the car. Though I understand/speak Portuguese I was said (in English) "I don't understand, I don't understand. I'm Americano. What happened?"
Turns out he saw me reach down and thought I was reaching for something (a gun I perhaps?) I showed him my ID and he finally let me go with these parting words – "Cuidado cara. Aqui é Rio de Janeiro" (Be careful man, this is Rio). That was pretty much my only bad encounter after more than 20 years of going there so I can't complain. However, I did think… what would have happened if I was Brazilian and not American?

I really do feel like the authorities don't investigate on the murders of these victims because where they live. More likely it's the police killing these children. Racism is everywhere. Even in the city of god.
