Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau paused for a good 21 seconds when asked about US President Donald Trump and the use of tear gas against protesters. He then said that Canadians are watching what's unfolding in the United States with &ldquo;horror and consternation&rdquo;. Trudeau has long been careful not to criticize Trump as Canada relies on the US for 75 per cent of exports. ((Breathe the long pause))

Amid several incidents of violence and clashes between protesters and police officers amid protests over the killing of George Floyd in the US, a gesture of solidarity from some cops has touched thousands of people. Police officers from Miami, New York, Denver, and Portland were seen dropping their weapons as protesters&nbsp;approached and took a knee. There were emotional and heartening scenes as cops and protesters were seen hugging each other at a time&nbsp;when the US is again engulfed in the fight against racism.&nbsp;

The protests following the death of George Floyd in a police encounter rage on to its fifth night. Hundreds of protesters gathered near the Colorado Capitol on Monday,&nbsp;while in New York,&nbsp;about six incidents of violence against law enforcement officers were being investigated by the NYPD's&nbsp;Internal Affairs Bureau, including one where an officer pointed a gun at protesters. The video shows the assault of an NYPD officer at an intersection, followed by another officer who was seen pointing a gun.

The European Union on Tuesday joined a growing chorus of members of the G7&nbsp;insisting that Russia must not be allowed back into the fold. The announcement came as US President Donald Trump said that he plans to invite the country to a G7 summit next fall. EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said that Russia should not be allowed back in until it 'changes course and the environment allows for the G8 again to have a meaningful discussion'. The G7 members are Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, while the 27-nation EU, the world&rsquo;s biggest trading bloc, also takes part. Russia was suspended in 2014 from the then G8 following its invasion of Ukraine and annexation of Crimea.

US President is being heavily criticised after he was seen carrying The Bible, while visiting a church&nbsp;partially burnt down by protesters. The historic St. John's church was set ablaze on Sunday night as protesters demanded justice for George Floyd who was killed by a white cop in Minneapolis. The church is at a walking distance from the White House and on Monday, the US President walked down to the church. Priests have criticised the US President&nbsp;saying that the Bible and religion are not props for a photo op nor a political tool. With the US going to polls later this year, the move is being seen as an attempt by Trump to consolidate the 81% white Christian vote he garnered during the 2016 elections.&nbsp;

Austrian authorities have presented the winning plan to redesign the house where Adolf Hitler was born in 1889, turning it into a police station and trying to make it unattractive as a pilgrimage site for people who glorify the Nazi dictator.The overhaul follows a years-long back-and-forth over the ownership and future use of the house, which was resolved in 2017 when Austria&rsquo;s highest court ruled that the government was within its rights to expropriate the building after its owner refused to sell it. A suggestion it might be demolished was shelved, and the government announced in November that police would use the building. It will house the regional command and a police station. The winning design takes a simple, modernising approach but doesn't tamper with the substance of the original building.

Top scientists, health officials and the WHO have rejected claims made by a leading Italian doctor who said the new coronavirus "no longer exists" in the country. Alberto Zangrillo, the head of the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan, had claimed that "the virus clinically no longer exists in Italy". The World Health Organization, has, however, stressed that the new coronavirus had not suddenly become less pathogenic. "We need to be careful: this is still a killer virus," WHO emergencies director Michael Ryan said.

A medical examiner on Monday classified George Floyd&rsquo;s death as a homicide. The report said that his heart stopped as police restrained him and compressed his neck, in a widely seen video that has sparked protests across the nation. A separate autopsy commissioned for Floyd&rsquo;s family also called his death a homicide. It concluded that that he died of asphyxiation due to neck and back compression.

Amid largescale protests and violence in the wake of the murder of George Floyd, a black man at the hands of a white cop, Floyd's brother has urged the protesters to remain peaceful. Asking protesters to "do it the other way", Terrence Floyd implored them to go out and vote rather than turn to violence. Terrence visited the site of his brother&rsquo;s death in Minneapolis and said that civil unrest and destruction is &ldquo;not going to bring my brother back". ((Byte))

US President Donald Trump on Monday called the nationwide protests an act of domestic terror and called in military in the Capital Washington DC to quell the demonstrations. Trump said he was deploying thousands of "heavily armed" soldiers and police to prevent further protests in Washington. A number of buildings and monuments have been vandalized near the White House. Nationwide protests are going on for 2 days against the death of an unarmed African American George Floyd in police custody. There have also been incidents of arson, looting and vandalism, which Trump called "a disgrace" warning the organisers of the protest of severe action.

Russian presidential spokesperson Dmitry&nbsp;Peskov&nbsp;on Monday said accusations of his country orchestrating unrest in the US were &lsquo;wrong and incorrect&rsquo;.&nbsp;Responding to a question about the former Obama administration national security adviser Susan Rice's claim Russia could be behind unrest spreading across the country following the death of George Floyd,&nbsp;Peskov&nbsp;said Moscow had never interfered in US internal affairs. He said as far as Russia understands these insinuations can't reflect the official view of Washington.&nbsp;

The novel coronavirus&nbsp;is losing its potency in Italy, says a&nbsp; top doctor. In a Reuters report, Alberto Zangrillo&nbsp;shared that the virus has become much less lethal and no longer clinically exists in Italy. Speaking to RAI television, the head of the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan stated that swab tests conducted over the past 10 days showed a very small viral load compared to swabs that were performed a month or two ago. However, some cautioned that it was too soon to claim victory and that citizens must exercise utmost precautions as recommended when stepping out. Another doctor from Northern Italy told the national ANSA news agency that the virus is weakening. Matteo Bassetti head of infectious diseases clinic at San Martino hospital added that it is clear that today the Covid-19 disease is different.

Hong Kong police on Monday banned an upcoming vigil marking the Tiananmen crackdown anniversary citing the coronavirus pandemic. This is the first time the gathering has been halted in three decades. The candlelight vigil&nbsp;on June 4 usually attracts huge crowds and is the only place on Chinese soil where such a major commemoration of the anniversary is still allowed. But police rejected permission for this year's rally saying it would "constitute a major threat to the life and health of the general public". Hong Kong has managed to keep the virus mostly in check, with just over 1,000 infections and four deaths.

There's no social distancing in space, and it seems Twitter is rather jealous about that. In a video shared by NASA astronauts from the Crew Dragon were seen hugging as they entered the International Space Station. Twitter was fairly envious of the human contact in space. Elon Musk's SpaceX scripted history as it successfully launched two NASA astronauts aboard Crew Dragon - the first commercial company to do so.

China on Monday said the United States was 'addicted to quitting' following a US decision to leave the World Health Organization.&nbsp;Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman&nbsp;told reporters that the withdrawal reveals a pursuit of power politics and unilateralism. He added that the international community disagreed with the selfish behaviour of the United States.&nbsp;President Donald Trump announced on Friday the United States would cut ties with the WHO, accusing the UN agency of becoming a puppet of China.

US President Donald Trump has said that America will designate far-left extremist group Antifa as a terrorist&nbsp;organisation&nbsp;in view of its role in violence across the country.&nbsp;Antifa, regarded as a militant, left-wing, anti-fascist political activist movement in the US, comprises autonomous activist groups that aim to achieve their political objectives&nbsp;through the use of&nbsp;direct action rather than through policy reforms.&nbsp;The Trump administration is blaming this far-left extremist group for the sudden spike in violent protests across the country after the brutal killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.&nbsp;

An Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman expressed solidarity with American demonstrators on Monday and accused the US government of "pursuing violence" at home and abroad. Reading out a statement in English at his regular media briefing, Abbas Mousavi said Iran "deeply regretted" seeing protesters being "suppressed indiscriminately and met with utmost violence". Ending his statement Mousavi said, "stop violence against your people and let them breathe" in a reference to George Floyd who died after a Minneapolis officer pressed his knee into his neck for several minutes as he pleaded for air.

Chinese government officials have told major state-run agricultural companies to pause purchases of some American farm goods including soybeans as Beijing evaluates the ongoing escalation of tensions with the US over Hong Kong, Bloomberg&nbsp;reported on Monday. The halt is the latest sign that the hard-won trade deal between the world&rsquo;s two biggest economies is in jeopardy. The measures to halt imports came after US President Donald Trump on Friday criticised Beijing after it moved to impose the controversial national security legislation on Hong Kong.
