Summary
Protests are taking place in Minneapolis after a woman was fatally shot by a US ICE agent.
Accounts of what exactly happened are conflicting, with the Trump Administration citing self-defence whilst law makers in the city and state of Minnesota are calling it a brazen act of force.
Adam is joined by BBC North America correspondent, Anthony Zurcher, and BBC North America reporter, Madeline Halpert, who is on the ground and at the scene in Minneapolis.
In studio is BBC business editor Simon Jack, who got the scoop on the government’s latest change of heart about business rates for English pubs.
