US Presidents Call on Americans After Minneapolis Shooting

On 26 January 2026, former U.S. presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama urged Americans to defend democratic values after the second death of a Minneapolis resident by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents. The incident followed a 2024 shooting that left one person dead and a second injured. White House officials criticized the former leaders for sowing division. While the U.S. winter storm saw 180 million people across 37 states under alerts and 14,000 flight cancellations, UK politics added drama as MPs blocked Manchester mayor Andy Burnham’s bid to return to parliament. Police reform headlines in Britain highlighted a planned overhaul of road policing and 999 response targets.
