Hello and welcome to NewsHour Live from the BBC World Service in London.
I'm Rebecca Kesby.
It's just gone six o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles,
where we're told although protests continued into Sunday night,
the scene was generally tense but calmer than at other times over the weekend.
But the physical clashes between protesters and police officers on the streets has been mirrored by verbal clashes at the political level.
California's Governor Gavin Newsom has accused President Trump of trying to manufacture a crisis in LA by deploying 2,000 National Guard troops to the area.
The White House line is that Mr Trump has rightfully stepped in to restore law and order.
The administration is also threatening to send in US Marines to the area
if the unrest continues.
But Mr Newsom says the deployment of National Guards against the will of the state is illegal,
immoral and unconstitutional.
He's threatening to sue the government.
With the latest from Los Angeles, our North America correspondent, John Sudworth.
Once again, downtown Los Angeles echoed to the sound of tear gas and rubber bullets.
At one point,
protesters surged onto one of this city's busiest highways before the police eventually cleared the road,
making a number of arrests as they did so.
A short distance away, protesters faced off with a line of National Guardsmen.
