The death of George Floyd on 25 May has sparked a worldwide movement against police brutality, racism and social injustice.

Live feed from London as people gather for a protest against police brutality and racial discrimination nearly two weeks after the killing of George Floyd.

A video of George Floyd's arrest showed a white police officer, George Chauvin, asphyxiating and killing him by shoving his knee into Floyd's neck for almost nine minutes after he had been restrained, despite Floyd saying that he could not breathe. The clip sparked protests which soon turned into riots, as cities across the US descended into chaos characterised by looting, arson attacks and the destruction of property.
