Pope Francis speaks out following death of George Floyd
Pope Francis says the world cannot tolerate or turn a blind eye to racism following the tragic death of George Floyd in the United States.
However, in his weekly prayer, the Pontiff says the violence of recent nights is self-destructive and nothing will be gained from it.
As protests continued into an eighth night yesterday, thousands of people gathered in New York City, defying night-time curfews.
British photographer Adam Gray was among them, and was charged for unlawful assembly.
