Unrest in the US: cities prepare for ninth night of protests
Demonstrations are under way for the ninth straight day in the US, with large crowds already facing off against authorities in three major hotspots - New York, Washington and Minneapolis.
Meanwhile another three more former police officers were charged over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
And Derek Chauvin, 44, who was arrested last week, faces an increased charge of second-degree murder.
Mr Floyd was stopped and arrested by police on May 25 in Minneapolis. A video showed Mr Floyd being pinned to the ground by a white police officer who knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes even after he pleaded that he could not breathe.
