Earlier, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio lifted the city's 8 p.m. curfew ahead of schedule after several days without the clashes and ransacking of stores that recently rocked the Big Apple. At the same time, the city has also launched its first phase of easing the coronavirus lockdown in order to start reopening local businesses.

Live from New York City, people have gathered for another protest nearly two weeks after 46-year-old black man George Floyd died in police custody.

Last week, demonstrations turned violent in the city, resulting in arson, looting, as well as clashes between protesters and police. Tensions between the protesters and the police have noticeably eased in recent days.

The wave of unrest began in Minneapolis, quickly spreading throughout all 50 American states and sparking protests against police brutality in many other countries.
