UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock spoke for many concerned officials as he tried to convince Britons not to gather for events involving more than six people this weekend, no matter the cause or their rage. Tens of thousands of Australians defied government orders to stay home regardless, holding up signs and wearing face masks marked up “I can’t breathe” — the words Floyd kept repeating while handcuffed as a policeman knelt on his neck.

This confluence, and accompanying outrage at US President Donald Trump”s partisan response, has refocused attention on the world’s racial divides like few other events since the 1960s.“We welcome this exercise of free speech, which contributes to constructive dialogue, education and change,” the embassy said of the London protests, adopting a more conciliatory tone than the one taken by Trump.

But on Tuesday, another banned rally in Paris drew more than 20,000 people in support of the family of Adama Traore, a young black man who died in police custody in 2016.

Trump sparks controversy saying 'great day' for George FloydUS leader has claimed of doing more for black community 'than any president since Abraham Lincoln'. FMTNews DonaldTrump GeorgeFloyd 😅😂🤣😅😂🤣 Even in Malaysia, we don't want to embarrass ourselves by using Trump's name - because the said claim is so damn bloody ludicrous! Dumb Trump has literally no idea what he is talking about! In the words of General Mattis, 'he is not even pretending that he is trying to unite the people' Dumb Trump is still using the evil method of divide and conquer. Dividing the people, dividing world leaders! Dumb Trump is basically a very evil man who has no regards for anyone. All that matters to him is he himself. He dare claim to have done more than any president since Lincoln for the black community, in a sense its true, poorer, sicker and weaker. The same he did for all US!
