In North Carolina, protests erupted this week after the death of Keith Lamont Scott, a black man who was shot by police. A state of emergency has been declared for the city of Charlotte.

Elsewhere, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton continued their campaigns, a new leader took over the UK's Independence Party, and migrants in Greece continued to wait for asylum in abysmal conditions.
