  A woman displays her hands during a rally/prayer vigil at Marshall Park in Charlotte, North Carolina. With officials refusing to release any video of the Tuesday shooting of 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott, anger built as two starkly different versions emerged: Police say Scott disregarded repeated demands to drop his gun, while neighbourhood residents say he was holding a book, not a weapon, as he waited for his son to get off the school bus. The protest started as a downtown prayer vigil, but an angry group left the peaceful event and marched through downtown Charlotte. Jeff Siner / The Charlotte Observer via AP

Some migrants were shifted to the island’s second camp of Kara Tepe and some spent the night in churches, said Efi Latsoudi, a human-rights activist who was decorated for her work on Lesbos by the UN refugee agency earlier this month.
