George Floyd's death has sparked chaotic protests in Minneapolis. Buildings are on fire and malls have been looted by protesters.

Videos shared online show rioters stripping store shelves bare and making away with goods. They also set fire to stores and tried to break into a bank. 

Stores looted include Target, Wendy's, Walmart and AutoZone. Rioters also sprayed graffiti on the walls of Wendy's and tried to bust open an ATM, as many ignored pleas from the Floyd family's lawyer and Minnesota Governor Walz to protest peacefully Wednesday night.  

Footage on social media showed car parts company AutoZone up in flames as people were seen hurling rocks through its windows.

At the Target store near the site of Floyd's murder, the inside of the store lay in ruins. The shop had been emptied by protesters and the remaining merchandise is seen flung across the floor.

Some protesters wreaked havoc on the police precinct, pushing over barriers and smashing up the site's windows.

The protests across the city come after George Floyd, a 46-year-old father-of-two, was killed when a police officer knelt on his neck for over 6 minutes while arresting him.

The 4 officers involved in his death have been fired but protesters are calling for them to be prosecuted.

Below are photos and videos.

Netanyahu said he intended “to act immediately in accordance with the new law” to stop the Qatari-based news outlet’s activity in the country, according to a post on social media platform X following the passage of the law. Al Jazeera Media Network, which has produced dogged, on the ground reporting of Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza,  slammed the decision  in a statement, vowing it would not stop the network from continuing its “bold and professional coverage.” The new law gives the prime minister and communications minister authority to order the temporary closure of foreign networks operating in Israel – powers that rights groups say could have far-reaching implications on international media coverage of...

The ministry said a number of people were still under the rubble after a residential area was hit. Israel said it was checking reports of casualties but added that earlier - lower - figures published by Hamas were "exaggerated". In recent weeks, the Israel military has been carrying out intense bombardment of northern Gaza, saying it wanted to prevent Hamas fighters from regrouping there. A senior UN official warned that the "nightmare in Gaza is intensifying" and the war "must stop now". The UN's peace process co-ordinator, Tor Wennesland, said that "nowhere is safe in Gaza".
