US correspondent on George Floyd death and civil unrest

From Sunday Morning, 8:10 am on 7 June 2020

It's a weekend of protests from New York to Seattle in the wake of George Floyd's death, with protesters and police continuing to clash and the tensions showing no sign of abating. Meanwhile, a new survey has shown that 52% of likely voters approve of Donald Trump's handling of "the protests and riots across the country". Our U.S. correspondent is Karen Kasler, the Ohio statehouse bureau chief for public radio and television in Ohio.
