Afshin Rattansi goes underground on institutional racism in America and the UK. Patrisse Cullors, co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement, says that the Ferguson solidarity protests are still going strong, occupying police stations, and even speaking to Obama in an effort to change the system, with a black person killed every 28 hours by law enforcement, security guards or vigilantes in the US. Clive Heemskerk, of the Trade Union and Socialist Coalition, looks at the future of the left following Syriza’s victory in the Greek elections, claiming the next election could be a ‘tipping point’ that sees voters deserting the major parties in search of an alternative to austerity, cuts and TTIP. We take a look into the public inquiry opened into the death of Alexander Litvinenko, the same day as a US general announced that American troops would be sent into Ukraine. Protests marked the 4 year anniversary of the Egyptian overthrow of Hosni Mubarak on Sunday, and we ask if anything has changed since the Arab Spring. And as the first planning application for UK fracking starts, a leaked letter shows Osborne urging ministers to speed up the process.
