Mass protests and arrests across US over George Floyd death – BBC News
Protests over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis have spread to at least 30 US cities.
The black American man died after being pinned to the ground by a white police officer, who kept his knee on the suspect’s throat for more than eight minutes. George Floyd is the latest in a string of black Americans to die while being arrested or in police custody.
There’s been violence, looting and arson in some cities and several have imposed curfews. President Trump’s national security adviser has denied there is institutional racism in the US police, saying that most officers were heroes.
But a lawyer for George Floyd’s family accused the police officer who’s been charged with his killing of “premeditated murder.”
Protests in support of George Floyd have also taken place in other cities around the world including London and Berlin.
Reeta Chakrabarti presents BBC News at Ten reporting from Barbara Plett Usher in Minneapolis and from North America Editor Jon Sopel.

There was a gender divide in the US in 2024 and one of the criticisms of the failed Democrat presidential campaign was that they appealed to women and largely ignored men.
So, with the midterms coming up, and the 2028 battle lines being drawn, how much is are political conversations going to centre around who can attract the male vote?
Justin’s been talking to a man who’s been thinking about that very question.

A Russian drone hit an apartment block in Romania causing a fire and wounding two people, officials say.
The incident happened on Friday in the town of Galati – close to Romania’s eastern border with Ukraine and Moldova.
Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte said “Russia’s reckless behaviour is a danger to us all”, while European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Russia’s “war of aggression had crossed yet another line”.
Russian drones have strayed across Romania’s border a number of times during the four-year war with Ukraine, but it is the first time citizens from the Nato country have been hurt. Russia has yet to comment on the incident.

An inquest has opened into the deaths of three sisters whose bodies were recovered from the sea off the coast of Brighton. The case has led to rampant speculation online, particularly after it emerged that a widely shared image provided by family members appeared to be AI-generated.
From unfounded conspiracies about serial killers, to a broader debate over the handling of cases involving black people, it has captivated TikTok sleuths, some of whom are even turning on each other.
On this episode of Top Comment, Marianna and Matt discuss why the case is receiving so much attention, and how race has played a leading role in the discourse.
