George Floyd: New York and Washington see security ease

George Floyd: New York and Washington see security ease
National Guardsmen watch on as a protester demonstrates in Washington DC

Security measures in the US have been lifted as unrest over the death in police custody of African-American George Floyd eases.

New York ended its nearly week-long curfew and US President Donald Trump said he was ordering the National Guard to start withdrawing from Washington DC.

The unrest has largely been replaced by largely peaceful worldwide protests against racism and police brutality.

George Floyd died in police custody in Minneapolis on 25 May.

Video showed him pinned to the floor, with a white police officer kneeling on his neck for almost nine minutes.

Officer Derek Chauvin has been dismissed and charged with murder.

Three other officers who were at the scene have also been sacked and charged with aiding and abetting.
