Anti-racism protests across the US
Big anti-racism demonstrations are happening across several US cities, as a memorial service takes place for George Floyd, whose death was the catalyst for the protests.
The death of an African-American man, George Floyd, while in the custody of the Minneapolis police has sparked protests across the United States, as well as demonstrations of solidarity in many countries around the world. A former prosecutor tells Newshour the case of George Floyd could be charged at the federal level.
