Symbols of ‘racist past’ topple amid global BLM protests; New Zealand reports no active COVID-19 cases
A statue of a British slave trader in the UK and confederate statues in the US have been toppled or defaced as protesters demand a reckoning on systemic racism. Some Minneapolis City Council members said they will “begin the process of ending the Minneapolis Police Department.” New Zealand has no active cases of COVID-19 in the country. Brasilia has become a new hotspot for the virus.
