The pause said a lot.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau seemed to stumble on a question around US President Donald Trump's decision to threaten the public with the military should violent protests continue.

Trudeau took his time answering it, before calling for unity both in the United Stats and Canada.

Meanwhile, protests in regards to George Floyd's killing continue in the US.

US Correspondent Dan Mitchinson told Heather du Plessis-Allan they are becoming more and more peaceful.

Mr Mitchinson adds more than 55 per cent of people disapprove of Trump's handling of the protests, while around a third do approve.

"I think there's some concern on the part of the White House, I know there's a lot of Republicans that aren't backing how the President's handled this."

Presidential hopeful Joe Biden hit out at President Trump around his photo opportunity in front of a church in Washington.

Biden claimed Trump was 'fanning the flames of fate'.

Mr Mitchinson says Biden appears to be getting more popular, while Trump's approval is dropping.
