The City Of Tulsa in oklahoma is marking 100 years since a Race Massacre that� s thought to have left up to 300 black people dead. On 31 May 1921 a white mob, angered by the alleged assault of a white teenage woman by a Black Man, rampaged through the affluent black district of greenwood, shooting, burning and looting as they went. 35 square blocks of the city were destroyed. 100 years on, and the few remaining survivors and the descendants of those who lost everything are still waiting for compensation. A warning you may find some of the images in this report by gary o� donoghue upsetting. Before the destruction, they called it black wall street. But injust 18 hours, a murderous white mob had razed a thriving Black Community to the ground, making 10,000 people homeless, with up to 300 black lives lost. Few dispute that it was the worst single act of racial violence in the history of the united states. I will never forget the violence of the white mob when we left our home. I still see black men seen being shot, black bodies lying in the street. I still smell smoke and see fire. Because of the massacre, my family was driven out of our home. We were left with nothing. So, here is the basement room, where people hid in. And how many do you think came down here . At least a few hundred. Robert turner is the reverend at the vernon ame church. It was one of several burned to the ground during the massacre. The church was rebuilt with parishioners� money as the insurers refused to pay out. After the massacre, there was this movement by the white community to not ever talk about it because they knew they had gotten away with murder. They didnt want to ever bring it up, and any of the black people who brought it up, they were either killed, i run out of town or intimidated into silence. Not a single person was prosecuted for the murders, for the looting or for the arson. Not one black family received a penny in compensation. It would take 75 years for there to be any official recognition that a massacre had taken place at all. And now, as tulsa marks the centenary, locating where the victims are buried is onlyjust beginning. I know what� s there. Kavan ross is overseeing the search. He says archaeologists now believe dozens were buried in mass trenches. The digging begins in earnest tomorrow to try to find them. The dead, where they fell, were picked up and tossed in various different areas of the city. We don� t know, but we� re going to act, we� re going to get them. While tulsa unites to mark the massacre, there are divisions. That� s meant the cancellation of a major concert, the survivors at odds with the city over who should pay them reparations. There is no celebration without reparation. And the centenary was not about concerts, its not about speech, its not about interviews, it is about focusing on the people that were harmed and doing everything in our power to make sure those people receive justice, respect and reparations. But while the survivors continue their fight for compensation, some among the younger generation are finding the historyjust too much to cope with. It is so painful that i cant even live in this city. Ijust cant. But i have since moved to atlanta, georgia, i which i consider to be, you know, the new. Black wall street. When the president comes here tomorrow, he will yet again address a shameful episode in the country� s history. And with the murder of George Floyd still uppermost, many will wonderjust how much has really changed in america over the past 100 years. Gary o� donoghue, Bbc News, tulsa. Five years after permitting chinese couples to have up to two children, the government has announced it� s raising the limit to three. Chinese officials are responding to census data showing a steep decline in the number of births. They fear a smaller, future pool of young people will have to Support Hundreds of millions of retirees, which could act as a brake on economic growth. The bbc� Sjohn Sudworth has more. The announcement may have looked a little mundane, but the news was momentous. Chinese women can now have three children. For decades, china� s one Child Policy was brutally enforced, with millions of involuntary sterilisations and abortions. It was not only cruel, it was a disaster. China doesn� t have enough young people to sustain its economy, and the two Child Policy brought in five years ago has made little difference. I think the concept of the one Child Policy. Mei fong, the author of a book about china� s birth control policy, says the latest change doesn� t go far enough. It should� ve been gone yesterday. The fact that it� s still there in some form is a testament, i think, to the failures of beijing to fully acknowledge the mistakes. You have a nation of really ageing, lonely people who have been massively terrorised in a way by this very, very traumatic, and at the end of the day, very unnecessary punitive family planning policy. China once estimated that its harsh controls had prevented 400 Million births. But this is a change being driven not by a belated recognition of women� s rights over their own fertility, but by economic need. The trouble is few women want a second child, let alone a third. Two is too exhausting, this woman says. We can� t afford it, these women say. The government subsidies are not enough. This Straw Poll by china� s official News Agency says it all. Enthusiasm for a third child saw more than 1000 votes. But those completely ruling it out 28,000. The survey was deleted before it got any worse. And while the policy� s being relaxed across most of the country, in xinjiang, there� s evidence the controls are getting tougher, with a dramatic Drop Off in uighur birth rates, a Decline China insists that� s entirely voluntary. John sudworth, Bbc News, taipei. Stay with us on Bbc News still to come. Football� s Copa America heads to brazil maybe. The government there says a deal is yet to be done. This is Bbc News the latest headlines. Japanese Tennis Player Noami Osaka has withdrawn from the French Open following her decision to boycott Post Match Media Duties at roland garros. America is marking the centenary of the Tulsa Massacre the worst single act of racial violence in the country� s history. While india is facing a devastating second wave of the pandemic, it has not taken its eye off its border with china in its northern Luh Daak region. A year ago, both countries rushed tens of thousands of troops to the border accusing Each Other of intruding into their territory in the himalayan region. Several rounds of talks have not reduced tensions between the two asian powers. map here� s An Exclusive Report by the bbc� s Anbarasan Ethirajan who has been to the Pan Gong so area close to the india china border. Arad was sent to india� s disputed border with china in ladakh. The altitude and the threat of avalanche offer a glimpse of the inhospitable terrain. After several hours of winding through the mountains, we see this, a breathtaking natural beauty. Managing livestock is a way of life for the nomads in this border village. But the peace here is deceptive. Just a few kilometres away, thousands of troops from India And China are facing Each Other with heavy weapons in the mountains. At 5000 metres above sea level, it is one of the world� s highest battlefields. A local villager showed me where the soldiers clashed last year. Translation we spent months on Blacktop Mountain and other| areas helping the Indian Army carrying supplies including ammunition. During winter, our people from here use to graze their livestock in the mountains on the other side. But over the years, the chinese have gradually taken over our territory and the Grazing Areas have reduced. Both India And China have overlapping border claims, and they fought a brief Border Conflict in 1962. For china, it� s holdover Eastern Ladakh is key to defending tibet. The latest Border Tension started last year. The picturesque Pangong Tso Lake was one of the flashpoints. This is Pangong Tso Lake in northern india in the ladakh region. And India And China, they have deployed troops over there along those mountains. There was tension last year following which thousands of soldiers were deployed. Now, both countries have decided to reduce the number of soldiers and they have recent agreement for withdrawal. But villagers say the indian pull out has not benefited them. Translation after the disengagement process, the Indian Army is not allowing ladakhi nomads to take their livestock to the Winter Grazing Land in the mountains. When the nomads set up tents in the mountains, that creates a landmark. During future border negotiations, these landmarks are imporant to assert our claim. Fearing further chinese incursions, india is fast ramping up its infrastructure. China says Building Roads in ladakh is causing the tensions. If the problems cannot be resolved, how should we not make them or turn them into conflicts or wars . So this is what we can do at best. I believe this is not a watershed, not a natural relationship, but it should be a Turning Point for us to think how we should really enhance Confidence Building measures. Without a border settlement, the stakes are high for the two asian giants. But the villagers here in this remote region hope that there is no further escalation in the future. European powers have questioned the us and denmark over reports the two worked together to Spy On Top european politicians. Denmark� s defence minister bramsen, did not confirm or deny the report. French president Emmanuel Macron said such behaviour is not acceptable between allies, and germany� s Angela Merkel agreed. Intelligence was allegedly collected on other officials from germany, france, sweden and norway. Those nations have also called for explanations. Andrew hammond is Historian Curator at the international spy museum. He� s in washington. Thank you so much for your time. Does that surprise you . We normally hear of European Allies to be in relatively tight knit . Tt allies to be in relatively tightknit . Tightknit . It does not surprise tightknit . It does not surprise me tightknit . It does not surprise me to tightknit . It does not surprise me to be tightknit . It does not. Surprise me to be honest. Tightknit . It does not surprise me to be honest. There was a lot of historical examples that we look at the international museum so in the run up to World War i britain was spying on american. Peace talks in the america was Spying Onjapan during World War ii, jeremy was spying on its ally italy so there are examples in history so i am not surprised because i am historian. Because i am historian. , listed in the modern era . Are all European Countries spying on Each Other . Is this jUst Par for the course . On Each Other . Is this Ust Par for the course . fi on Each Other . Is this Ust Par for the course . There is some extent to for the course . There is some extent to which for the course . There is some extent to which it for the course . There is some extent to which it is for the course . There is some extent to which it is par for the course . There is some extent to which it is par for i extent to which it is par for the course. I think that the best way to think about it is like an onion. So, at the centre of the onion you have a group of nations, the five eyes. Britain, america, canada, New Zealand and cooperate very closely and they are said not to spy on Each Other. The next layer out is another four countries. Going out from their there are 1a, which germany is a part of so i would say that on the relationship each country has with other countries but spying, one of the things we try to demonstrate here at the museum is that spying is as old as human nature. So it is something that goes on all the time. I think there may be some uncomfortable conversations between danish diplomats and their swedish and norwegian brethren but it is not surprising in the least. There has not been surprising in the least. There has not been a surprising in the least. There has not been a positive has not been a positive response from many of these European Countries but what do allies hope to learn when they spy allies hope to learn when they spy on their friends that they could not learn byjust asking . Gets down to the crux of the issue. Because there are some countries where there is not much that you will find out by spying on them that you won� t be able to get by having a frank conversation so i would sue the british and american intelligence alliances is that kind of relationship. In other relationships where, you know, it is very rare for two countries or even for two people, for their interests to completely 100 overlap so you to figure out what is going on because states are charged with looking after themselves and their own citizens so i think there is a number of things that i could break for you a little bit more. There are a number of things that you can learn by looking at what your friends are doing as well. Thank you so much for that insight into the very murky world of spying. Insight into the very murky world of spying. Thank you. Israeli Opposition Parties have until Wednesday Night to form a coalition and oust Benjamin Netanyahu as prime minister.

The 2021 Copa America is likely to be hosted by brazil, after argentina was stripped of the Football Tournament just two weeks before it starts because of a coronavirus surge. Reaction in brazil has been overwhelmingly negative. The country is also struggling to cope with a deadly Third Wave of the pandemic killing almost 2000 people daily and putting pressure on the public health system. And while the government say a deal is not quite yet complete they believe they can offer the tournament a new home if certain conditions are met. There is no done deal yet.

One of the details on what will vaccinated. One of the details on what will happen. Bank holiday monday was the hottest day of the year so far. I would say no complaints, but may was a complete Wash Out the wettest on record in wales, the fourth wettest for the uk, and it was chilly. 25 celsius we had in kinloch certainly made a welcome change. That warm weather felt by most of us, however, we did have some of that pesky low cloud, the Mist And Fog around North Sea coasts, and some of that lingered all day in shetland, keeping the temperatures atjust ten celsius here. And we have got more of these Fog Banks to come as we head into tuesday morning. Again, shetland, very likely to see some of that, and across eastern england, stretching from norfolk across lincolnshire into yorkshire all the way to probably north yorkshire, you are likely to come across some fog, some low cloud, and even the occasional spot of drizzle. But otherwise, a dry start to the day on tuesday, relatively mild. And for those in the west, probably a glorious start to the day because we have this Weather Front out to the far west, and some of that cloud will get illuminated. Sunshine on through the rest of the day, but we will have some of these Fog Banks affecting shetland from time to time, but otherwise, i think, many eastern coasts better chance of seeing the sunshine. And it� s going to be a bit warmer, 211 25 celsius more widespread, the warmest places probably getting up to 26 celsius which, again, will make it the warmest day of the year. And, of course, it� sjune, the skies are clear, that� s why we have high levels of uv. If you are outside for any length of time, might be worth considering a bit of sun cream. On into the middle part of the week, we have some changes in the weather picture. This area of low pressure is drifting up from europe bringing with it some thundery showers. They will mainly be across southwestern areas of the country. Further northwards and eastwards, it� s another sunny and very warm day, in fact, temperatures could go as high as 27 celsius in the very warmest spots, but, perhaps over these North Sea coasts, a little bit cooler, given the onshore winds will be strengthening a little bit. So highs of about 17 celsius or so in newcastle. On into thursday� s forecast, that area of low pressure continues to push northwards, just bringing the risk of those showers across Northern England into scotland. This front really marks the boundary between fresher Atlantic Air that will be moving in across the uk for many of us from the slightly warmer weather that we still have a across far eastern areas. Now, temperatures will be drifting down then for many, but still not bad, 19 celsius, Feeling Pleasant in cardiff, the highest temperatures, eastern england, Up To 2a Celsius in norwich.
