Joe Biden: I think Floyd will change the world

The funeral of George Floyd, an African American whose death in police custody spawned global outrage, has heard impassioned pleas for racial justice.

Speakers in the church in Houston, Texas, lined up to remember a man whose “crime was that he was born black”.

Mr Floyd died in Minneapolis last month as a white police officer held a knee on his neck for nearly nine minutes, his final moments filmed on phones.

Four police officers involved have been sacked and charged over his death.

His coffin was taken from the church driven in a motorcade to the Houston Memorial Gardens where he was to be buried beside his mother.

Media captionGeorge Floyd’s niece: ‘This is not just murder, but a hate crime’

One of Mr Floyd’s nieces, Brooke Williams, called for a change in laws which, she argued, were designed to disadvantage black people.

“Why must this system be corrupt and broken?” she asked. “Laws were already put in place for the African-American system to fail. And these laws need to be changed. No more hate crimes, please! Someone said ‘Make America Great Again’, but when has America ever been great?”

Republican President Donald Trump’s Democratic opponent in the November presidential election, Joe Biden, addressed the service in a video message, saying: “When there is justice for George Floyd, we will truly be on our way to racial justice in America.”

George Floyd’s body was loaded into a hearse

Mr Biden has sharply criticised Mr Trump, accusing him at the weekend of making “despicable” speculative remarks about Mr Floyd.

But the Democratic politician was himself recently accused of taking black American votes for granted when he said African Americans “ain’t black” if they even considered voting for Mr Trump.

What was said at the funeral?

The service was held at the Fountain of Praise church, attended by some 500 guests including politicians and celebrities.

“George Floyd was not expendable – this is why we’re here,” said Al Green, the local Democratic congressman. “His crime was that he was born black.”

Veteran civil rights activist Reverend Al Sharpton told the service: “All over the world I see grandchildren of slave masters tearing down slave masters’ statues.”

Talking about Mr Floyd’s difficult life, he said: “God took the rejected stone and made him the cornerstone of a movement that’s gonna change the whole wide world.”

In Minnesota, Governor Tim Walz called on people to honour the funeral by observing silence for eight minutes and 46 seconds, the time Mr Floyd was pinned to the ground before he died.

Mr Floyd’s coffin was taken to a cemetery in Pearland, south of Houston, for a private burial ceremony. For the last mile of the procession it was conveyed in a horse-drawn carriage.

Barriers were erected along the route to allow members of the public to pay their respects safely as the procession passed.

Memorial services were also held in Minneapolis and North Carolina, where Mr Floyd was born.

What did Biden say about Floyd’s family?

After visiting the family on Monday, the Democratic candidate told CBS: “His little daughter was there, the one who said ‘daddy’s going to change the world’, and I think her daddy is going to change the world.”

How have the protests spread?

Anti-racism protests started by Mr Floyd’s death are now entering their third week in the US. Huge rallies have been held in several cities, including Washington DC, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Sensitivity to racism has grown in other Western countries in response to George Floyd’s death:

  • The mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, set up a commission to review the city’s landmarks to ensure they reflect its diversity, days after the statue of a slave trader was torn down in Bristol.
  • In the Belgian city of Antwerp, a statue of King Leopold II, who ruled during a period of brutal colonisation in Africa, was taken down

Google’s advanced hacking protection comes to Nest devices

Google’s advanced hacking protection comes to Nest devices

Google’s Advanced Protection Program hasn’t been very accommodating of smart homes so far — you’ve had to forego Nest devices if you wanted those additional safeguards. It won’t be a problem from now on, though. The internet giant has enabled Advanced Protection for Google accounts on Nest devices, making it possible to use a thermostat or doorbell without giving up the protections you might need if you feel you’re at high risk of hacks and phishing.

As you might imagine, Google doesn’t want to take chances. It “strongly recommend[s]” that everyone in a given home sign up for Advanced Protection, since intruders could theoretically get in through family accounts linked to the same device. If you can manage that, though, you won’t have to rule out whole categories of connected tech just to maintain strict security.

Kate and William Share New Family Photo of Prince George and Princess Charlotte

Kate and William Share New Family Photo of Prince George and Princess Charlotte

Doing their part. Prince William and Duchess Kate shared a new family photo featuring their children Prince George and Princess Charlotte volunteering amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Prince William and Duchess Kate Share New Family Photo in Honor of Volunteers Week
Prince William and Kate Middleton visit a ‘Les Voisins in Action’ event in Paris on March 18, 2017 in Paris, France. MEGA

The Kensington Royal Instagram account posted a picture on Saturday, June 6, of William, 37, walking beside George, 6, and Charlotte, 5, while they visited the Sandringham Estate in April. The Duke of Cambridge — who also shares Prince Louis, 2, with Kate — held an umbrella over his children while they went to pack and deliver food to quarantined locals.

Queen Elizabeth II shared the new photo on her own Instagram account on Saturday along with a special message as National Volunteering Week closed out in the U.K.

“As Volunteers’ Week draws to a close, it is inspiring to reflect on the many thousands of people, who through their acts of generosity and kindness, have achieved so much for the greater good,” she wrote. “I have been following with interest how men and women from around the world, including my own family, have been helping and recognizing the vital role of the volunteer. I send my best wishes to all those who give themselves so freely and selflessly in the service of others.”

The Kensington Royal Instagram account posted photos of Charlotte in May ahead of her birthday as she and the royal family packed and delivered food packages to those in need.

William revealed on Friday, June 5, that he has secretly been volunteering at Shout85258 — a support line that helps with issues including self-harm, bullying, relationship challenges, abuse and suicidal thoughts. The duke, Kate, 38, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle founded the service in November 2019.

William and Kate praised the U.K. for a successful National Volunteering Week in a video chat with the organizations Conscious Youth and Machynlleth Community Corona Response earlier this week.
