Exclusive: @Channel4News has seen an upcoming report from IPPR and the Runnymede Trust on Covid-19 and ethnic inequalities.

Report claims 58,000 more coronavirus deaths could have occurred in England and Wales if white people faced the same risk as Black communities.
Taking out the effects of age and sex, the report authors estimate at least 2,500 black and south Asian deaths could have been avoided.
The IPPR is recommending that ethnicity is considered as a risk factor when deciding who should be tested.
Watch the full story from @vsmacdonald on Channel 4 News from 7pm

🚨#DeterringDemocracy - Part 2🚨

Yesterday, we revealed Trump's 2016 campaign strategy to deter 3.5 million Black Americans from voting.

Tonight: we show how the campaign targets millions of white voters - and activates their fears over law and order.
We report from Kenosha, where Trump recently visited - telling voters he was the man to stop the rioting and racial division.

At the time, many commentators pointed to opinion polls suggesting it didn’t move the dial very much.
But we know that his last campaign targeted its messages at specific voters in key states - who have concerns about law and order.

Tonight, we speak to the voters Trump hoped to persuade - and find out how the recent messaging about riots has influenced them.

REVEALED: Trump’s election campaign wanted to deter millions of Black Americans from voting in 2016.

The ‘Deterrence’ project can be revealed after Channel 4 News obtained the database used by Trump's digital campaign team. #DeterringDemocracy

channel4.com/news/revealed-…
Millions of Americans in key battleground states were separated into eight categories, so they could be targeted with tailored ads online.
One of the categories was named ‘Deterrence’, which was later described publicly by Trump’s chief data scientist as containing people the campaign “hope don’t show up to vote”.

"The Met Police is systematically racist and it needs to change."

Labour MP Dawn Butler says "there's something wrong with the system" - after she was stopped by police in London today.
The Met Police said in a statement:

"An officer incorrectly entered the registration into a police computer... Upon stopping the vehicle and speaking with the driver it quickly became apparent that the registration had been entered incorrectly." 1/3
"Once the mistake was realised the officer sought to explain this to the occupants; they were then allowed on their way.

No searches were carried out on any individuals." 2/3
