Key words : Trump declared law and order
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20200602_21/
US President Donald Trump has declared himself the "President of Law and Order." He's vowed to end protests across the country by calling in the US military if governors don't, as he says, "dominate the streets."
The riots began after an unarmed black man George Floyd died in police custody in Minneapolis a week ago.
President Trump said, "If a city or state refuses to take actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents, then I will deploy the United States military and quickly solve the problem for them."
Despite curfews imposed in dozens of cities, protests have become violent in many areas.
The New York Times reports the demonstrations have spread to 140 cities in at least 40 states.
More than 4,400 people were reportedly arrested over the weekend.
On early Monday, Floyd's brother visited the site where a white police officer kneeled on Floyd's neck for over eight minutes during an arrest.
Surrounded by protesters, Terrence Floyd called on them to demonstrate peacefully. He said, "If I'm not over here messing up my community, then what are you doing? What are you doing? You all are doing nothing. Because that's not going to bring my brother back at all."
The family says an independent autopsy found Floyd died from "asphyxia due to neck and back compression."

Schools in the United Kingdom have reopened following a two-month hiatus caused by the coronavirus outbreak.
The number of cases of infection in the country has topped 270,000, with more than 38,000 deaths.
The government is relaxing lockdown restrictions and plans to gradually reopen schools, based on the assumption that the peak of the outbreak is over.
On Monday, primary schools in England were back in session for pupils in some grades.
In London, parents were dropping off their children as teachers checked on them one by one before letting them into school. One mother said she is a little nervous but the reopening is good because her daughter was depressed about not being able to see her friends.
Many parents are still wary about safety and have opted not to send their children back to school.
Some schools delayed their reopening dates, saying more time is needed to implement measures against the virus.

Restaurants and cafes in Turkey are reopening as restrictions on economic activities were eased on Monday.
The government relaxed restrictions aimed at stemming the spread of coronavirus infection.
Turkey has the largest number of cases in the region, at more than 160,000. But recently the country's daily count is hovering around 1,000, down from about 5,000 recorded at the height of the outbreak.
In Istanbul, many people enjoyed dining out for the first time in over two months.
A customer at a restaurant in the city said he is worried about a second wave of infection. But he said he decided to eat out as he needed to move his life forward.
The government has demanded that restaurants and other eateries take measures to prevent infection, such spacing out and sanitizing tables.
The owner of the restaurant said he is struggling economically and needs to adapt to the current situation.
Domestic flights also resumed after inter-city travel restrictions were lifted on Monday.
Key words : Japan easing entry ban

Japan is considering easing entry bans on people from four Asia-Pacific countries where coronavirus infections are now apparently under control.
The government may allow the entry of people on business from Thailand, Vietnam, Australia and New Zealand as early as this month.
Officials cite the relatively stable coronavirus situation in these countries and Japan's close economic ties with them.
If entry bans are eased, it will mark the first time since the government imposed them earlier this year.
The government is considering asking business travelers from the four countries to take a virus test before leaving for Japan.
Japan has denied entry of visitors from 111 countries and territories, including the United States, Brazil and Russia, and has been urging Japanese citizens not to visit these regions.
Key words : calling on face mask
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20200602_06/
Experts in Japan are calling on people to use face masks cautiously in the summer when the risk of heatstroke increases.
Wearing masks is part of the government's recommendations for a "new lifestyle" designed to prevent coronavirus infection.
On Monday the Japan Association for Acute Medicine and three other doctors' groups made proposals on how to prevent heatstroke while people use face coverings.
The experts say people wearing masks will see their breathing and heart rates increase.
They advise people to take off their masks and rest occasionally while maintaining distance from other people. They also recommend staying hydrated by drinking water.
The experts suggest the use of curtains to prevent a spike in room temperature when the rooms are ventilated to lower the risk of infection.
They called on people to start exercising lightly at home or to go out for a walk in order to acclimate their bodies to the heat before the summer.
They stressed the need to keep an eye out for the elderly who live alone, as the risk of heatstroke is high for them when they stay indoors.
A senior official at the association asked people to take steps to avoid getting heatstroke.
He said it could be difficult to distinguish between heatstroke patients developing a fever and coronavirus patients. It may take emergency responders time to find hospitals that can accept the latter.
