Reuters, 13 Apr 2021
Five stories to know for April 13: Protests continue after Minneapolis shooting, student shot dead at Knoxville high school, Japan to release contaminated Fukushima water into sea, Derek Chauvin's trial and Russia warns U.S. on Crimea.
1. A suburban Minneapolis police officer apparently drew her gun by mistake, instead of her Taser, when she shot a young Black man, Daunte Wright, to death during a traffic stop, a police chief said, hours before a second night of unrest sparked by the killing.
2. Police shot and killed a Knoxville, Tennessee, high school student after they said he opened fire on them in a campus bathroom, wounding an officer.
3. Prosecutors neared the end of their case in the murder trial of former Minneapolis policeman Derek Chauvin, calling George Floyd’s younger brother to the stand for emotional testimony about how his sibling grew up obsessed with basketball and doting on his mother.
4. Japan will release more than 1 million tonnes of contaminated water from the destroyed Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea, the government said, a move China called “extremely irresponsible,” while South Korea summoned Tokyo’s ambassador in Seoul to protest.
5. Russia warned the United States to ensure its warships stayed well away from Crimea “for their own good,” calling their deployment in the Black Sea a provocation designed to test Russian nerves.
