George Floyd protests – live: Trump calls Antifa a terrorist organisation as mayors accuse president of making situation worse

Tense protests over the death of George Floyd raged for a fifth consecutive night on Saturday in cities across the US, from Philadelphia to Los Angeles, with police cars set ablaze and reports of injuries mounting on all sides.

Donald Trump says the US will designate "Antifa", whom he blames for the unrest, as a terrorist organisation. Democratic mayors of the cities that have seen some of the largest protests have critiscised the president for making the situation worse.
