From Midday Report, 12:50 pm on 25 November 2021

Three men have been found guilty of murdering Ahmaud Arbery as he was jogging last year in Georgia.

The case sparked outrage in America after a video of his shooting went public.

Lawyers for the men argued they acted in self-defence while making a citizen's arrest.

The white trio said they had suspected Mr Arbery - who is Black - of theft from a nearby construction site.

Worldwatch's Max Towle spoke to US correspondent, Nick Harper.
