The Minneapolis ex-policeman accused of killing unarmed black man George Floyd has made his first court appearance, where his bail was set at $1.25m (£1m).

Prosecutors cited the "severity of the charges" and public outrage as the reason for upping his bail from $1m.

Derek Chauvin faces charges of second-degree murder and manslaughter. Three other arresting officers are charged with aiding and abetting murder.

Mr Floyd's death in May led to global protests and calls for police reform.

Mr Chauvin, who is white, knelt on Mr Floyd's neck for almost nine minutes while he was being arrested in Minneapolis on 25 May.

He and the three other police officers have since been fired.

Ai'regin
She was a queen, an angel-like most admired amongst her race She never left her green and white The pride of great Ai'regin, an ace Excellent at everything, so they said.
Although she had many lovely children But only 'Wazobia er'one knew Why her other children left unloved, oh A matter for another day
I hear she makes all the golden money To feed the cubs she keeps down North While every children of the populous black family fears She finds fun in her strategies
She's got supporters in high up places Who'd live to see the children don't flee Oh Ai'regin, don't you see This unity is dangerous to everyone. For every bad moves this Ai'regin makes They got a good explanation.
If you read her name backwards Or ponder on her famous child' name You will see in Ai'regin's wrinkled faces The faded beauty of a once glorious child.
