Los Angeles mayor lifts curfew imposed during protests against Trump immigration raids
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass lifted a curfew in downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday that was first imposed in response to clashes with police, looting and vandalism amid protests against US President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown in the city. Advertisement The curfew imposed June 10 provided 'successful crime prevention and suppression efforts' and protected stores, restaurants, businesses and residents from people engaging in violence and vandalism, Bass, a Democrat, said. On Monday, she trimmed back the hours after a drop in arrests during evening demonstrations, noting a reduction in violence and vandalism in downtown that followed the protests. When the curfew was imposed, Bass said the city 'reached a tipping point' after 23 businesses were broken into and robbed, which was blamed on agitators looking to cause trouble. The curfew covered a relatively tiny slice of the sprawling city – the area of concern was concentrated in a section of downtown where the looting and vandalism occurred. 04:36 Trump vows to 'liberate' Los Angeles as protests spread to other major US cities Trump vows to 'liberate' Los Angeles as protests spread to other major US cities On June 8, thousands of protesters took to the streets in response to Trump's extraordinary deployment of the National Guard, blocking off a major freeway as law enforcement used tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash bangs to control the crowd.

G7 summit wraps with statements on AI, critical minerals but not Ukraine after US objects
'Basically, no statement because the Americans wanted to water it down,' an unnamed Canadian official told reporters on condition of anonymity, according to AFP. News services on Tuesday reported the proposed statement would have condemned Russia in no uncertain terms – a routine G7 stance before US President Donald Trump 's re-election – but that Washington had argued such an approach could undermine its ability to negotiate. The other six member countries decided that the watered-down language would not have been fair to Ukraine , the official added, so they opted to reflect its contents in a statement issued by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney Trump has repeatedly declined to blame Russia for invading Ukraine. On Monday, Trump repeated his claim that G7 members were essentially responsible for starting the Ukraine war when they expelled Russian President Vladimir Putin from the group in 2014 after Russia annexed Crimea.
