George Floyd death: Global solidarity protests

Thousands have protested around the world over the death of George Floyd

The protests in the US and around the world continue over the death of George Floyd, the African-American man who died in police custody. We bring together some of those involved in the protests globally.

We speak to Curtis Hayes Jr about his emotional exchanges with two men during a protest in Charlotte, North Carolina. The video of the moment has been viewed more than 22 million times.

And the ±«Óãtv's Reality Check have looked at the data around how African-Americans are treated under US law. We discuss their research.

We also continue our conversation with people affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Three people discuss how much they've missed their beauty treatments during lockdown.
