Next, we will look at the news from the United States. It's been ten days since a black male George Floyd was killed by a white cop. The commemoration schedule for him began. Citizens who remain silent for eight minutes and 46 seconds of harsh acts are talking about peaceful protests and solidarity.

First, Correspondent Sohn Seok-min of Washington reports.

<Reporter> On the

street of Minneapolis ten days after he died, Floyd got on the road to rest.

Minneapolis mayor took hold of the coffin and caught up with the picture that it is now possible to breathe.

Attendees complained that Mr. Floyd's death should be the beginning for justice to correct inequality.[Sharpton/Pastor, Civil Rights Activist: Now is the time for us to rise up in the name of George Floyd and say,'Take your knees off our necks.'] Harassment

continues throughout the United States Congress, Lincoln Memorial, and hospitals. The silence of remembering the 8 minutes and 46 seconds was continued.

At the rally in front of the White House, not only black people, but also white people, as you can see, noticeably increased.

There were many voices emphasizing peace and solidarity like the light demonstrations that were shown last night (4th).

One participant who knows a candlelight vigil in Korea explained that the candlelight and the cell phone light are in the same context.

[Doritz/Rally Participant: I think it's a scene that shows solidarity and a way to show that we are together. That's what it means for everyone to turn on the lights.] Under

the atmosphere of peaceful protests, the Attorney General also went out to appease public sentiment that the justice system should be changed equally.

[William Bar/Attorney General: The criminal justice system must change. Our Constitution stipulates the protection of equal laws and nothing else is acceptable.]

However, President Trump tweeted the law and order, advocating the legitimacy of the law enforcement he had referred to, including the Federal Forces.
