George Floyd death: Violent protests across the US
We hear eyewitness accounts of the continuing protests and violence in the US
Violence protests have been taking place in cities across the US. The anger was sparked by the death in police custody of African-American George Floyd. We head to Minneapolis, where he died.
Also, among the many images being shared are police officers in different US cities 'taking the knee' in solidarity with protesters. We hear from a protester who filmed one example in New York.
And we talk to radio hosts in the US about the national conversation taking place.
