'We're black, white; fighting the same fight.' Sky's haynesdeborah speaks with BlackLivesMatter protesters at demonstrations in London today. More:
"There's a health crisis going on," said Mr Murray.
"We understand people want their voice heard and nobody really wants violence and it's only a small minority who spoil it for each other and hurt the police." While the protective covers have now been removed, police have no plans to position large numbers of officers around them. "The police have never asked for those statues to be protected. That's a matter for the local authority. Our focus is on reducing violence and protecting the public, protecting citizens."But we will also investigate if criminal damage takes place. So we will prevent violence and we'll also try to prevent criminal damage."
