George Floyd's death sparks #BlackLivesMatter protests across America

You might have heard that there are big protests going on in America right now, and many have turned violent. They started after an unarmed black man arrested by police was killed. His name was George Floyd. A 46-year-old man who died while being restrained by a police officer.

The incident made a lot of people really angry. Many have accused police of treating black people unfairly compared to how they treat white people, something they say has been happening for a long, long time. Protests first began in the state of Minnesota, where George Floyd died, but they've now spread across the country including in New York City, LA and in Washington. While a lot of them started as peaceful, many have turned violent. Cars have been set on fire, shops looted and buildings vandalised.

While the Government says it understands people's frustration, they say violence is not the answer. The protests haven't stopped, and lots of people, including some powerful and well-known ones, say they want to see change.

KYLIE JENNER BILLIONAIRE BLUFF
Kylie Jenner isn't actually a billionaire, at least according to business magazine Forbes. Forbes called her the world's youngest billionaire in March of last year, thanks to her enormous cosmetic company. But now, Forbes says it was misled about how much her brand actually makes, and Kylie's not happy about it.

SPACEX DOCKS
In news that's well and truly out of this world, a SpaceX craft carrying two NASA astronauts has docked at the International Space Station. It's the first manned space flight from the US in nearly 10 years. The Crew Dragon capsule, carrying astronauts Bob Benkhen and Doug Hurley, finally blasted into space over the weekend, after the first launch was called off due to bad weather. Everything went swimmingly, the Falcon 9 rocket separated as planned, a few minutes into their trip, and the capsule carried on its 19 hour journey toward the international space station.

As is tradition, they gave the Crew Dragon a nickname: Endeavour. And to show off Endeavour's abilities, the capsule docked automatically to the international space station. We don't know how long they'll stay on board before returning home, but it could be as long as four months. SpaceX is hoping the Endeavour 's success is a sign of things to come, with more flights to and from the ISS set for later this year.

TAKING THE REIGNS
Getting off to a royally strong start, the Queen herself, on a horse. She's been living at Windsor Castle in lockdown with her husband, Prince Philip, but she's clearly happy to get back in the saddle. A lot more people will be, too. From today, horse racing will be the first major sport allowed again in the UK, after an 11-week shutdown.

THE EAGLE HAS LANDED
It's hard to imagine a more exciting ride than being on the back of a wedge-tailed eagle. Unfortunately, that means being a small, solar-powered GPS tracker. Scientists have attached the devices to study the birds' flight paths in Tasmania, with their locations updated every six seconds. One bird managed to travel nearly 250 kilometres around the state in eight hours.

CAMEL LONG FOR THE RIDE
The race to end all races: The Uluru Camel Cup. Where competitors can face off by throwing camel poo. And follow it up by climbing on a camel? For the first time, the Camel Cup was run without crowds because of COVID-19 restrictions. But the race was as tense as ever.
