I'm Chris Barrow and at 4.30 GMT on Thursday the 8th of January, these are our main stories. The shooting dead of a woman by a federal immigration officer in the US city of Minneapolis has sparked a huge row between the Trump administration and local officials over who's to blame. Donald Trump says Venezuela has agreed to buy only American goods with the money it will receive from a new oil deal. Our international editor gives us his assessment of the changing world order.
What happened during the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis?
Also in this podcast... A new study suggests that people who stop taking weight loss jabs put weight back on much more quickly than if they'd been dieting. And in tennis, the wildest of wild cards... A woman who could barely hit a serve loses almost every single point at a tournament in Kenya. First to Minneapolis in the United States.
The chance of hundreds of people who've been attending a vigil for Renee Good, a 37-year-old woman shot dead in a car by a federal agent from ICE, that's Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. The incident has sparked a row over who was to blame. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem claimed the woman had blocked the road with her car, then tried to run over officers.
How did local officials respond to the ICE shooting incident?
Ice agents repeatedly ordered her to get out of the car and to stop obstructing law enforcement, but she refused to obey their commands. She then proceeded to weaponize her vehicle, and she attempted to run a law enforcement officer over. This appears as an attempt to kill or to cause bodily harm to agents, an act of domestic terrorism.
The ICE officer fearing for his life and the other officers around him and the safety of the public fired defensive shots. He used his training to save his own life and that of his colleagues. But the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Fry, says that account of what happened isn't true and that immigration agents should leave the city. We've dreaded this moment since the early stages of this ICE presence in Minneapolis. They are not here to cause safety in this city. What they are doing is not to provide safety in America. What they are doing is causing chaos and distrust. They're ripping families apart. They're sowing chaos on our streets. And in this case, quite literally killing people. David Willis is our North America correspondent.
Video of this incident, Chris, shows a maroon-colored SUV cutting through a crowd of federal agent vehicles on a suburban street. As the SUV moves forward, an immigration official attempts to open the driver's side door. Ja sillä hetkellä, kun moottori jatkuu, toivottavasti kuuluu, että joku toinen jäsen, joku toinen asiantuntija, saapuu ja laittaa sotilasta. Seuraavaksi moottori jatkuu paikalleen, ja sen jälkeen on kuulunut, että jäsen, joka on takana moottoriin, The victim of this incident was 37-year-old Renee Good. Now officials say that she was not the target of immigration enforcement activity at the time. How can there be two very, very different characterizations of the events that took place, when even the video evidence that you suggest, it can be interpreted surely in only one way, no?
Well, that's right. There are two starkly contrasting accounts of what happened, Chris. The mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Fry, has accused those federal agents of sowing chaos in the city. The Minnesota Democratic governor, Tim Walz, blamed the incident on a federal administration that seeks to, as he put it, ferment fear, headlines and conflict. And Donald Trump weighed in as well, claiming...
