Footballer: why I joined the George Floyd protests
People of all backgrounds and races have joined the protests that have engulfed America following the death of George Floyd - killed when a policeman kneeled on his neck for more than 9 minutes.
Amongst them is former Sierra Leone vice captain Kei Kamara who has been taking part in anti-racism protests in Colorado - where he plays for the Colorado Rapids.
He told us how he lay on the ground for 9 minutes - with his 3-year-old son beside him.
