The Hong Kong 1 July protests (Chinese: 七一遊行) is an annual protest rally originally led by the Civil Human Rights Front since the 1997 handover on the HKSAR establishment day. However, it was not until 2003 that the march drew large public attention by opposing the legislation of Basic Law Article 23. The 2003 protest, with 500,000 marchers, was the largest protest seen in Hong Kong since the 1997 handover.[1] Prior to this, only the 21 May 1989 pro-democracy protest drew more people with 1.5 million marchers in Hong Kong sympathizing with the participants of the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989.[2] The introduction of Article 23 legislation was temporarily shelved because of the protest. Since then, the 1 July marches have been held every year as a channel to demand for democracy, universal suffrage, rights of minorities, protection of freedom of speech and a variety of other political concerns.

A big protest rally was held at Lee Circle, where a statue of Robert E. Lee stands high above the city of New Orleans. The protest was a result of the city deciding to remove 4 Confederate statues throughout the city. This is an attempt to improve the image of New Orleans by eliminating symbols of racism, white supremacy. The atmosphere has been pretty tense in the city since it was announced that the statues were coming down. Three were already removed and this is the last one, as per the mayor.
The first one removed was Liberty Place Monument, followed by Jefferson Davis and then P.T. Beauregard.

Turkey has some very strict laws against criticizing the government. I don't know what this protest was about, but I was a little surprised to see anything like this allowed on the streets at all.
