11:45 GMT - Of course black lives matter, says British PM Johnson

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Wednesday black lives mattered and he supported the right to protest, in a lawful and socially-distanced way, after the killing by police of George Floyd in the United States stirred widespread anger.
"Of course, black lives matter and I totally understand the anger, the grief that is felt not just in America but around the world and in our country as well," he told parliament.
"I also support, as I've said, the right to protest. The only point I would make ... is that any protest should be carried out lawfully and in this country protests should be carried out in accordance with our rules on social distancing."

11:25 GMT - Britain to hold rally, nationwide kneeling

Anti-racism and Black Lives Matter groups planned a rally in central London and a nationwide kneeling on Wednesday to protest the death of African-American man George Floyd in US police custody.

Black Lives Matter in London encouraged protesters to wear red at an afternoon rally in Hyde Park to "protest against the rights of black people being abused globally."

Stand Up to Racism urged people across Britain to "take the knee on [their] doorstep and/or hold signs ... to say JusticeForGeorgeFloyd BlackLivesMatter" at 6 pm (1700 GMT).
