Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer says the city has agreed to a settlement with the family of Breonna Taylor that includes a 12 million US dollars (£9.1 million) payment and police reforms after she was fatally shot by officers who burst into her apartment at night.

Ms Taylor’s death sparked months of protests in Louisville and calls nationwide for the officers to be criminally charged.
