Protests are escalating in the United States over the death of a black man after being pinned down by police. Some have turned violent.
George Floyd died in Minneapolis last week after a white police officer held him down with a knee on his neck.
The New York Times reports the protests have spread to 140 cities in at least 40 states.
Shops have been looted and cars set on fire.
In Washington D.C., protesters set fire to trash cans near the White House. Officers there fired what appears to be tear gas.
At least 25 cities, including Los Angeles, have imposed curfews.
The newspaper says this is the first time curfews have been imposed in so many cities since 1968, when Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated.
President Donald Trump tweeted the media is inciting hatred and accused what he calls the radical left and anarchists of instigating the protests.
