An Irish billionaire is calling on the government to make payments to countries of the Caribbean to compensate for the suffering of slavery.

Denis O'Brien is the founder of the Repair Campaign, which is working with Caribbean countries to develop reparations plans from Europe.

"It is the single biggest issue in the Caribbean for the entire population," he told the Sky News Daily.
On this episode, Kamali Melbourne sits down with Mr O'Brien to ask what needs to be done to ensure reparative justice is successful.

Plus, Kamali speaks to Dr Angelique Nixon, of the University of the West Indies, about the ongoing impact of the slave trade's legacies on Caribbean communities, and Dr Cassandra Gooptar, from the University of Hull, who shares how she saw British institutions changing their outlook on the legacies of slavery following the Black Live Matter movement.
