South Africa’s governing party said it is launching a “Black Friday” campaign in response to the “heinous murder” of George Floyd and “institutionalised racism” in the United States.

Twitter has removed President Donald Trump’s campaign tribute video to George Floyd on its platform, citing a copyright complaint.

Rights group the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has sued the Trump administration, claiming officials violated the civil rights of protesters.

Mayor of Washington, DC, called for the withdrawal from the city of military units sent from other states to deal with protesters.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s office has said it will no longer enforce a curfew put in place to quell protests.
