Freddie Gray's death caused days of massive protests

Plus, in 15 minutes, a report from our LA correspondent

on a property dispute between Katy Perry and some nuns.

Freddie Gray was a young black American man who died a week

after he was critically injured in police custody.

Today, a Baltimore police officer has

been acquitted of assault and other charges.

Gray's death led to protests and rioting

and sparked the Black Lives Matter movement.

The city's mayor has asked residents to be "patient and allow

the entire process to come to a conclusion", adding,

"the city is prepared to respond to any disturbance".

Can you explain what the prosecutors were alleging this man was involved

in? Edward Nero is one of six officers charged in connection to

the death of Freddie Gray. He was charged on four counts but in short,

first they accused him of our unlawful arrest and also of being

reckless by failing to put Freddie Gray, buckle him in a seat belt, as

he was loaded into a police van, and the police van is crucial when you

look at the case of Freddie Gray. What happened to him when he was

travelling in the police van has been the centre of a lot of the

cases against these officers. We know he travelled handcuffed and

shackled in that police van and was not wearing a seat belt and at some

point suffered severe spinal injuries and died a week later as a

result. The defence for Edward Nero said he was not the key arresting

officer when it comes to the arrest of Freddie Gray. They say it should

not have been up to him to ensure Freddie Gray was wearing a seat

belt, that was the responsibility of the police van driver, and he was

cleared of those charges. Each trial has to consider the charges, but is

there an umbrella process looking at the incident and trying to work out

what might have happened? Not in terms of the legal framework. It is

trial by trial and last December I covered the first case that came to

trial, the trial of officer William Porterfield was accused of more

serious charges including manslaughter. The difference in that

case it was a trial by jury, officer Nero wanted a judge only in this

trial. In the case of William Porterfield jury could not make a

decision and it was declared a mistrial which means it will come

back to court this summer, as well as the four remaining trials. Caesar

Goodson is charged with second degree murder and that case will be

included. What about the variety of campaigns we have seen in Baltimore?

There have not been large-scale protests. There were protesters

outside courts earlier today, and a lot of anger and frustration. The

words that come up when you hear from protesters in the context of

this case is accountability. As you said, the mayor has said that people

need to wait for the trials to cum food and to wait for the process to

be complete but the protesters want to ensure that someone is held

accountable for the death of Freddie Gray. Thank you very much.

And now the sport. It has been a strange day. We knew Louis van Gaal

was going to be sacked, we knew it from Saturday, and we knew this

morning he was sacked, but it is only in the last hour Manchester

United confirmed this. They posted this on their website. A statement

confirming he has gone and a quote from him. Louis van Gaal said he is

disappointed not to be able to complete the intended three-year

plan but thanks the staff, owners, players and fans and calls the fans

the best in the world. We can bring in John Watson. It has been an

interesting day. When Manchester United sacked David Moyes they said

maybe they would have done things differently but they seem to have

done things similarly in terms of communications. I do not think

either Manchester United foresaw this information would come out in

this way. We are not sure where these details came from that were

circulating on Saturday night. News of Louis van Gaal's departure

overshadowing the FA Cup win, but I do not think the club have

controlled the way the information has come out and perhaps it has come

from sources close to Jose Mourinho and his agent, because they were

determined, certainly the vice-chairman was determined to see

Louis van Gaal's reign as a success and wanted him to be successful and

I am sure the club, the vice-chairman would have allowed --

like to have allows Louis van Gaal and the club to enjoy the FA Cup

success but just two days after that victory, and they were having to

deal with the fallout of his departure from the club and I think

the reason it has taken so long to come out with a statement, which we

have had in the last hour, despite knowing he was going on Saturday, I

think they have tried to come up with a severance package with Louis

van Gaal. They said earlier that there has been a delay in bringing

that out because they wanted to allow Louis van Gaal to leave the

country, which he has done. I did not think Manchester United have

been able to shape his departure in quite the way they would have liked.

Good to speak to you. An interesting tweet from a Norwegian pro.

Retired Norwegian footballer Jan Age Fjortof tweeted:

"Man Utd signed Van Gaal because he was Van Gaal.

Now they fire him because he is Van Gaal.

Who to blame? Not Van Gaal."

That is what has come to pass earned in the end, if you do not get in the

Champions League, you will be in trouble as Manchester United

manager. There probably aren't too many

people who are going to miss Louis Van Gaal's style of football,

but we will miss him - and his unique way of

dealing with the press. The fans are shouting every week,

Louis van Gaal's army. I was squeezing my ass,

but it was the wrong expression, because there you are doing that,

and so I have twisted my ass on the A lot of times, I use the word

horny to my players. We played the best match

of the season. Is that how highly you rate

the performance? Do you think it was

a foul on Falcao in It is not in the books that

somebody has to grab up with the hair and then

pull it behind. And only in sex masochism,

then it is allowed. Andy Murray lost first two

sets to Radek Stepanek But he took the third 6-0,

and a break 2 up in the fourth Frustrating because he was on a

roll. I do not think many of us saw that coming. He just beat Djokovic

in Rome a few days ago. Remember that boxing match

between Nick Blackwell Nick Blackwell ended up

in an induced coma after the fight. Blackwell has been

critical of the Eubank family in an interview

with the Sun newspaper. He said, "My family and friends

were begging them not to talk, He's referring to the fact

Chris Eubank Jr decided But Chris Eubank

responded over Twitter: "Pretty shocked at what Nick has

said about me and my father today. "Regardless of how he feels

about me, I still wish him nothing That one is still rumbling on as a

story. In a few minutes we will get into a strange report from the BBC

LA correspondent. The story is about a property dispute between Katy

Perry and a group of elderly nuns. Here in England, a restaurant owner

has been jailed for six years for manslaughter after ignoring

a customer's request Paul Wilson died within minutes

of eating a takeaway from the Indian Garden restaurant

in North Yorkshire two years ago. This is Paul Wilson about to order

a meal which would kill him. He knows he has a severe nut allergy

and tells the waiter. It is reason even written

on the chit - "No Nuts". But the meal the 38-year-old walked

out with did have nuts in. Just before he ate it,

he called his mum. He was home, he'd got his curry

and his last words were, "I love The restaurant owner,

Mohammed Zaman, was today convicted With large business debts,

he'd cut corners and swapped expensive almond powder

for cheaper ground nut powder And it wasn't the first time

a customer with a nut allergy had As soon as I tasted it,

I could feel my lips swelling up Student Ruby Scott ordered

a supposedly nut-free meal from one of Zaman's other restaurants a few

weeks earlier, but it I don't know whether they just don't

know how severe a peanut allergy is. I think a lot of people think

is just a stomach ache, but it is actually

very life-threatening. On the night Paul Wilson died,

police were quickly round here Zaman's food had again caused

a severe allergic reaction. Then, astonishingly,

the day afterwards, Trading Standards came here to buy

a meal which apparently had no nuts in it, but when they tested it

they found it had enough peanuts to potentially kill

someone with the allergy. Police say the case sends

out a warning. The message goes out that if anybody

else operates their business in a similar sort of way,

they could possibly face prosecution Paul Wilson's parents say their only

son was their whole world. His dad says Paul

was his best friend. The restaurant owner responsible

for his death repeatedly lied during his trial and was utterly

with a group of elderly nuns over the sale of a convent in Los

Angeles. But here's James Cook

with the case so far. It feels more like a

castle than a convent. This imposing villa has 21 bathrooms

of a bitter battle. This is Sister Catherine Rose.

Do you think we could get in? At 87, Sister Catherine Rose finds

herself locked out of her old home, and fighting the church

she spent a lifetime serving. The sisters of the Immaculate Heart

say they sold their house to a Los Angeles restaurateur,

the property for $15 million, and the church is now fighting

in the courts to ensure that that That has left the nuns

feeling badly let down. The archdiocese, they claim,
