The British Academy Film Awards and BBC have apologized Monday for a racial slur that was broadcast during Sunday’s show while two stars of the film “Sinners” were onstage. The Tourette syndrome campaigner who shouted the slur said he was “deeply mortified” and what he said was “not a reflection of my personal beliefs.” The highly offensive word could be heard as “Sinners” stars Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo, who are both Black, were presenting the award for best visual effects during Sunday’s ceremony. The BBC left the slur in a delayed broadcast of the ceremony but removed a streaming version and said the slur would be edited out.

Democrats have begun tentative talks with the White House on their demands for “dramatic” new restrictions on President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown. The talks come just days before funding for the Department of Homeland Security is set to expire. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said Monday that Democrats have sent Republicans their list of demands for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other federal law enforcement agencies. Among the demands are a requirement for judicial warrants, better identification of DHS officers, new use-of-force standards and a stop to racial profiling. Homeland Security funding expires Saturday.
