Film-maker Spike Lee has said people in the US are angry because they "live every day in this world where the system is not set up for you to win".

The Oscar-winner said the reasons for the current unrest included the deaths of black people like George Floyd but also wider injustices and inequalities.

"It's not like you're just born angry," he told BBC arts editor Will Gompertz.

Lee also said President Trump's response showed that "he's a gangster, he's trying to be a dictator".

Mr Trump has threatened to send in the military to quell growing civil unrest across the US.

On Monday, the president walked from the White House to a nearby fire-damaged church to pose with a Bible, after demonstrators were cleared from his path.
