Panthers blow out Blue Jackets in Spencer Knight’s debut to stay atop Central Division
Spencer Knight was the last player to leave the ice at the end of a hectic first period in his NHL career. The Florida Panthers tied him to an early lead and, after withstanding some late scares from the Columbus Blue Jackets, he paused just before heading into the dressing room for the first period and leaned up against the wall in front of the Panthers’ bench.

George Floyd’s murder ‘ripped the blinders off’ to reveal systemic racism, Biden says in national address
US President Joe Biden condemned the nation’s legacy of systemic injustice and racist violence in his call for sweeping police reform, hours after a verdict was announced for the murder of George Floyd, a Black man whose death has revived an international demand for justice for the police killings of Black Americans. “It was a murder in full light of day and it ripped the blinders off for the whole world to see” systemic racism in the US, he said in remarks to the nation alongside Vice President Kamala Harris at the White House on Tuesday evening. Mr Biden called systemic racism a “stain on our nation’s soul” after Ms Harris demanded that the lives of Americans of colour be “valued in our education system, in our healthcare system, in our housing system, in our economic system, in our criminal justice system, in our nation, full stop.”

'Britcoin' digital currency being considered by UK
British authorities are exploring the possibility of creating a new digital currency that Treasury chief Rishi Sunak touted as "Britcoin." The Bank of England and the Treasury said Monday that they will work together to assess the benefits of a central bank digital currency, at a time when cash payments are generally on the decline, partly as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. The bank said the new currency, if it comes to pass, would be a new form of digital money for use by households and businesses and would exist alongside cash and bank deposits, rather than replacing them.
