this is bbc news: i'm mike embley with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. the city that never sleeps is starting to wake up. new york, once the global centre of the pandemic, begins reopening. south korean officals confirm a second wave of infections, even though numbers are relatively low. on the 72nd anniversary of the arrival of the windrush generation, more people are urged to claim the compensation they're owed. facebook and instagram are facing a growing boycott by advertisers over their failure to address hate speech

before we start let's take you to the white house now and show you these live pictures we're receiving. it is just about 11 at night there, as you can see, a lot of protesters out there. interesting things have been happening, at first we have got people wondering whether president trump was planning another walkout to lafayette square, but in fact what happened just a couple of hours ago is that all the press were suddenly removed from the white house grounds at almost no notice and with no explanation. that is very unusual, there has been speculation that the president was again being moved to the bunker below the white house, although none of that is confirmed. certainly there are quite a few practice there, there is suggestion on social media that there have been

attem pts media that there have been atte m pts to media that there have been attempts to remove the statue of andrew jackson which is just now at the white house, well known for many things among others and perhaps most valiantly at the moment, he signed the indian removal act which forcibly relocated most members of the native american tribes. he also opposed the abolitionist movement which was growing very much stronger in his second term. we are not quite clear what is going on, we will bring you much more when we can confirm what is happening but clearly still a lot of people there, policing slightly different from the way that lafayette square was cleared just a couple of weeks ago. at the moment, the scene is calm and we will see whether it stays that way. the number of confirmed coronavirus infections worldwide has climbed to more than 9 million. the world health organisation says cases are peaking simultaneously in several heavily—populated countries. nearly half a million people have died, with parts of latin america and india also

recording high numbers of new cases. in the united states, the latest official figure is 120,000 deaths. more americans have now died from coronavirus than were killed in the first world war. but in new york, not long ago the global centre of infections, life is starting to emerge from lockdown. nick bryant reports from manhattan. in the midst of this viral onslaught, new york has taken on a different character. its state of mind has been anxious and fretful. a city of the outspoken and rambunctious has been muted, behind protective masks. this morning, new york took its biggest step yet towards reopening, but it was farfrom being a stampede. though offices were allowed to welcome back staff, the quietness of this covid rush hour suggested many still are working from home.

this was times square during the big apple lockdown, and this was the scene today — new yorkers still clearly uneasy about gathering at the so—called "crossroads of the world". people are still nervous, u nfortu nately. we still see a death toll around the country, and until that drops considerably, i think people will continue to be nervous. new york recovers like that, so it's just a matter of time. retail was allowed to reopen this morning, but many shops are still shuttered from the racial protests that have also had a paralysing effect. new york is america's beating heart — the capital of its banking, retail, culture and tourism. getting this city reopen again is the key to reviving the us economy. so this — commercially, at least — may well be a concern. the shots we took of wall street before this partial reopening were almost the same as the shots we took today. there are signs of economic life. restaurants are now allowed to serve food at outdoor tables, although social—distancing regulations

mean that street cafes now come with the trappings of a crime scene. we could never have gotten here if people had not done so much hard work, so consistently. and it took immense discipline and strength for new yorkers to get us here. states such as florida, that lifted their restrictions early, are now paying a price. the sunshine state has become a covid hotspot. and south carolina, too, has been setting single—day records for new cases. america, nationwide, hasjust reported its highest number of infections since early may. the cloud of coronavirus is proving hard to escape, and it will be many more months before we see cities like new york in their fullness once again. nick bryant, bbc news, manhattan. south korean health officials have said for the first time they believe they are seeing a second wave of coronavirus infections. south korea has been a success story in keeping case numbers and deaths low, but officials

now expect the pandemic to go on for months. reged ahmad reports. south koreans enjoying a long weekend in may as relaxed social distancing rules came into effect. now, health officials think this could have been around the start of a second wave of coronavirus infections. translation: in the metropolitan area, we believe that the first wave was from march to april, february to march. it's been on the decline for a while, and then we see the second wave that was triggered by the may holiday was going on. it does mark a shift. previously, health authorities said that the first wave had never really ended. there was a worrying warning for those who might‘ve predicted the warmer weather would help. translation: our forecasts that the coronavirus infection would decline in summer turned out to be wrong. as long as people are having

close contact with others, we believe that infections will continue. some of south korea's more recent outbreaks have centred around bars and nightclubs in the capital. and parts of the country are reintroducing stricter social distancing measures, as new clusters of cases are identified. but south korea's approach to the virus is still one of the most successful. it's managed to avoid locking down the country, instead relying on aggressive trace, test and treat strategies. its case numbers and death rates remain very low when compared to the outbreaks of some the worst affected nations. my understanding is that the vast majority of cases being detected are linked to existing and recognised clusters, and as such, the south korean authorities still have great visibility over where the virus is. countrywide, south korea has reported its lowest numbers of infections in nearly a month, and the world health organisation says it's still on track with its efforts to control the spread of covid—i9. but this new wave will keep

authorities alert as they try and stamp out the disease. it's the 72nd anniversary of the empire windrush arriving in england, carrying immigrants from the caribbean. the windrush generation and their families faced so many challenges, immediately, and more recently, when many people from the commonwealth were told, wrongly that they were in the uk illegally. some were left destitute, others deported. now they are being urged to claim the compensation they are owed. here's our community affairs correspondent, rianna croxford. meet denzil, sheriann and danny — brothers and a sister caught up in the windrush scandal, whose lives were left in limbo, as they struggled with their immigration status. it's mad. it's absolute madness that we are still fighting for this, in 2020, we're still fighting for certain rights, as people that

were brought here in 1956, in the 1930s. you know, it gets you paranoid. you always go and look over your shoulders every time you see a white van, you just go... you know? like you're a criminal. you just go and try to run. you can't go to school, you can't go out with your friends, you can't travel. i lost 12 years of my life. your whole teenage life. the whole teenage life. i never had the fun of doing nothing. i couldn't afford to get id, nothing. i couldn't even act like a teenager. so, yeah, it messed with my mental state. it took their father, pletus — a successful musician, pictured here in the middle — 62 years to have his citizenship confirmed after he came to britain from st lucia in 1956. newsreel: the empire windrush brings to britain 500 jamaicans... he was one of thousands of commonwealth citizens from the windrush generation who, unable to provide original documentation, were wrongly treated as illegal immigrants, risked deportation and were denied rights to health care and benefits.

pletus‘ family have just filed their claim for compensation but, two years on, since the scheme launched, critics say there's been little progress. so far, 1,275 claims have been made, but only 60 people have received payment. between them, they've been given just over £360,000. this is the man now leading a new government group to tackle the challenges still faced by this generation and their families. we cannot afford for this to fail. too much blood has been spilt by many for this country. so, therefore, they're not granting us a favour — it's an inherent right. there's now a third generation of pletus‘ family who are british citizens, but sherryanne, denzil and danny say no amount of money can give them back

the years they were robbed. rianna croxford, bbc news. moments of silence have been observed and flowers laid in tribute to the three friends who were stabbed to death in a park in the english town of reading. all three have now been named: they were james furlong, who was 36 years old and a teacher, joe ritchie—bennett, 39 and a lawyer, and david wails — 49 and a scientist. police are still questioning the suspect — khairi saadallah — who was arrested under the terrorism act. rajini vaidya nathan reports: back at school for the most painful of reasons. through the morning, they left tributes to a teacher who always told his pupils to fly high. 36—year—old james furlong was the head of history and politics at holt school. with news of his death still sinking in, students and colleagues held

a two—minute silence. bell as a whole community, we will now need to adsorb this sad news. our thoughts are with his mum, his dad, his brother and his family and his friends and colleagues. he was a cherished colleague and he will be very sadly missed. applause thank you. 14—year—old lucy last saw mr furlong at a history lesson before lockdown. well, first he told us everything was going to be fine, you know, coronavirus is going to end and we

will see him again. but, you know, we are not really, are we? we're not going to see him again. former pupils also came to pay their respects. i came round today because i feel like i had a really personal connection with mr furlong. he was one of the teachers who was always there for me. the person who tried to put a smile on everyone's faces. he used to come in and dress up as henry viii. he had really funny catchphrases, he always made us laugh. james furlong was in this park in reading on saturday when he was stabbed to death. today it was confirmed his friend joe ritchie—bennett was killed alongside him. an american who had lived in the uk for 15 years. bbc radio berkshire presenter sarah walker was a close spread. —— a close friend. she delivered this on—air tribute. and it matters to me today that you know thatjoe lived a great life.

he was loved by so many people and he made us all feel that life was a much better place with him in it. tonight, the third victim of the attack has also been named. 49—year—old david wails. he was always happy. everyone had their problems but he always left that at the door when he walked into the pub. always made people smile. and at the reading pub where the three friends were regulars, an outpouring of togetherness. # somewhere over the rainbow... the lgbt+ community and our allies here in reading are a close community and we are stood outside this pub, a place we call home and a safe space for so many members of our community. there is a real sense of loss here but tonight, friends of james, joe and david are here to celebrate their lives. in the words of one of the floral tributes here,

they wear the kindest, most genuine, most loveliest people in our community. three friends who had just gone for a catch up in the sunshine. three lives taken too soon. rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news, reading. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: a very green recital, barcelona's opera house reopens with a concert for plants. members of the neo—nazi resistance movement stormed the world trade center armed with pistols and shotguns. we believe that, according to international law, that we have a rightful claim in certain parts of this country as our land. i take pride in the words "ich bin ein berliner." cheering as the uk woke up to the news that it is to exit

the european union, leave campaigners began celebrating. in total, 17.4 million people voted for the uk to leave the eu. the medical research council have now advised the government that the great increase in lung cancer is due mainly to smoking tobacco. it was closing time for checkpoint charlie, which, for 29 years, has stood on the border as a mark of allied determination to defend the city. this is bbc world news, the latest headlines: in new york, once the global epicentre of the pandemic, shops have begun re—opening as the city emerges from lockdown. health officials in south korea have said they believe

the country is going through a second wave of coronavirus infections. facebook and instagram are facing a growing boycott by firms who accuse them of not doing enough to tackle hate speech and false information. the sporting goods maker patagonia is the latest american company to suspend advertising. they say they'll joining the stop hate for profit boycott, at least untill the end ofjuly. the company says "the stakes are too high" for facebook to be "complicit in spreading misinformation and fomenting fear" facebook says it is committed to "advancing equity and racial justice," and has long argued it isn't itsjob to police speech. joel finkelstein is the director fo the contagion network research institute, an organisation which tracks the sources and spread of hate online. hejoins us from he joins us from princeton, hejoins us from princeton, new jersey. good to talk to you. what is your research showing you about how misinformation and hate speech is spread online? great question. fundamentally,

what our research does, is we look at the spread of viral codewords, memes and in—group signalling among extremists and violent actors. the funny thing is that these ideas tend to spread a loss like a disease. they need to be tracked carefully so we can understand how they are influencing us, not just with the how they are influencing us, notjust with the in—group communities but between them, and in the real world. communities but between them, and in the realworld. but communities but between them, and in the real world. but of course a lot of the problems with tracking and intercepting out that much of it is done in closed groups, i think, and also that it has an inbuilt deniability. it can easily be passed off as a joke, even if it isn't. well, that is one of the most difficult issues with combating hate, which is that so combating hate, which is that so many of these groups have adopted a kind ofjokey, coded language, or they disguise hate in the form of false sincerity, concerns about outrage, injustice or alternatively that sort ofjokey nazi symbols. these are there specifically to

invite people's outrage, so ultimately that outrage can become useless, because if people cry wolf and become outraged over and over again, outraged over and over again, outrage stops having any meaning. so, how might this be dealt with? obviously facebook has a lot of moderators already, but it requires a lot of fine already, but it requires a lot offine tuning, already, but it requires a lot of fine tuning, knowledge of references, to pick up this kind of thing, let alone deal with it? right, and one of the issues we are seeing is that you have groups who are now advocating for a boycott against facebook because facebook is having a difficult time controlling us, —— of this, but that is hardly unique to facebook. everybody is having a difficult time. it is not an having a difficult time. it is notan unfair having a difficult time. it is not an unfair comparison to say that companies like facebook are like the tobacco industry. there is a lot of good that comes out of social media platforms, but when it came to tobacco, when we determined it was bad, it took really important diagnostic tools to show how it was bad and what's the best practices were around public health. we don't have anything like that when it

comes to this information on social media. and then, the problem is, because of how we don't know how these problems can be solved, what would it mean for these boycotts to succeed. how would we even no they are succeeding? right? so they are succeeding? right? so the approach fundamentally has to be one where we can find ways of creating better transparency, of using the tools at our disposal with al and machine learning, to try to create a public consensus and public conversation around what is happening in these groups, because it influences us as a public. we have an interest in that. just give us some exa m ples that. just give us some examples from your work. i know you have done a lot of work on the so—called boogaloo movement? boogaloo is a good example of zany codewords. this was taken from a cold movie that was a bad sequel, or carbon copy of a sequel to a bad brea kdancing film, carbon copy of a sequel to a bad breakdancing film, and it was known for being such a bad, perfect copy. this group, boogaloo, wanted to start an apocalyptic civil war against law enforcement, and peter conde ‘s name boogaloo because

they wanted perfect copy of the civil war. —— they took on this name boogaloo. this is an example of zany shirts, hawaiian outfits, all kinds of coded language. and we are nothing these groups in places like facebook using that coded language to penetrate how these ideas are spreading. you know, facebook and providing us with advertisements for boogaloo material, including caps with boogaloo symbols and military badges that showed that these militia groups were organising. it was very disorienting to how an algorithm markets this kind of extremist material to the researchers, to try to understand how it spreads. and you can immediately see that these are real problems and that, i think, these are real problems and that, ithink, now these are real problems and that, i think, now our hope is that, i think, now our hope is that we can really challenge this paradigms by finding new ways to create greater transparency with the social media platforms, so that these organisations can contribute to the evolution of debtor diagnostics for all of us to

understand these problems. and find ways that we can bring in public stakeholders to really help advocate for a public interest based on ground truth. you know, we cannot have tobacco com pa ny you know, we cannot have tobacco company saying, trust us, we tobacco company saying, trust us, we can tobacco company saying, trust us, we can handle this. we need to find ways of having trusted conversations and verifying with the truth about what is really happening on the ground. joel finkelstein, really interesting to talk to you. you so interesting to talk to you. you so much. great pleasure, thank you. archaeologists have discovered a major prehistoric monument, unknown until now, just a short distance from stonehenge. fieldwork has revealed 20 or more massive shafts, excavated at least 11,500 years ago. jon kay reports. it's one of the world's most famous sights, yet so much about stonehenge remains a mystery. but are we finally getting closer to understanding? it's this site, two miles away, that archaeologists have been examining, an area known as durrington walls. using ground—penetrating radar,

they've been able to look deep into the earth and discovered what could be one of the uk's largest prehistoric sites. a ring of around 20 shafts, dug more than 4,000 years ago, around the time stonehenge was built nearby. these are 20—metre diameter, at least 5—metre deep, sometimes even deeper, we think, shafts or pits that have been dug into the chalk and are oriented in kind of an arc, both to the south and the north of durrington walls. the orientation of them, the spacing of them, would suggest that they have some organised sort of ritualistic reason for being there. the task for historians now is to work out how the newly discovered outer ring of pits is connected

to stonehenge itself. the national trust has described the find as "astonishing". what further secrets will it now reveal? jon kay, bbc news, salisbury plain. as spain reopens after a lockdown that's lasted three months, an opera house in barcelona moved quickly this week to put on its first concert. but this wasn't your typical performance. alanna petroff reports. the gran teatro delicias held its first post—lockdown performance this week for an audience of potted plants. nearly 2,300 leafy listeners were in attendance. gentle string music this was part concert, part performance art. the artist who orchestrated everything said this was "a new show for

a new time in history." translation: i believe it's been demonstrated that we're at the end of a whole era, and this means certain paradigms must be changed. we do not live in the same world that confined us 90 days ago, and this fact has to be reflected in each of the things we do. theatre management called the concert "a symbolic act, reaffirming the value of art, music and nature." this is the latest move to fill seats in a time of social distancing. some sports stadiums brought in cardboard cutouts. in south korea, officials had to apologise after populating stands with sex dolls. back in barcelona, the audience members are keeping it classy, breathing new life into an age—old musical tradition. alanna petroff, bbc news.

much more news value any time on the bbc website and on twitter. thank you are watching. hello there, i'm sure it's not going to be to everyone's liking, but this week, it is going to be turning hotter and more humid across many parts of the country. and for the first time this year, the temperature is likely to reach 30 degrees plus. now on monday, the highest temperature was at heathrow airport and in cambridgeshire with temperatures of 2a degrees. and that was with a south—westerly wind with lower pressure and weather fronts bringing some rain towards the north—west. higher pressure bringing the sunshine towards the south—east of the uk. now, as the position of the high pressure changes and as it moves northwards into scandinavia, so will change the wind direction and we are going to draw in all the heat and humidity from continental europe. temperatures rising by day and perhaps by night as well. quite warm first thing actually on tuesday morning. a little bit cooler perhaps towards the far south—east

of england and across the highlands in scotland. but tomorrow looks like being quite cloudy again across scotland and northern ireland. there's still some more rain to come, although it won't be as windy, it will be drier and brighter in eastern scotland too. some early cloud for wales and the north—west of england but more in the way of sunshine here, lots of sunshine for england and wales, those temperatures continuing to rise. 27—28 degrees south—east england, the midlands, east anglia, and lincolnshire. that high pressure is going to be more dominant around the middle part of the week. building across this weather front, it tends to weaken it all the while. so, on wednesday, there may well still be some cloud and some outbreaks of rain left for scotland and northern ireland but it should tend to peter out. the cloud thins and breaks and we should get more sunshine. the sunnier skies continue for england and wales where the winds are still light, and those temperatures are continuing to rise. perhaps making the low 20s in the south—east of scotland, 30—31 degrees is likely through the midlands and the south—east of england by this stage. and another hot day to come on thursday with light wind. watch out for a few showers, it could be heavy and thundery

towards the north—west of the uk. otherwise, it's going to be dry with light winds again and it is warming up. we are missing the extreme heat in northern ireland, mid—20s through the central belt of scotland. 31 or 32 in the south—east of england. that's 90 fahrenheit. it's an uncertain breakdown towards the end of the week. we're likely to find some heavy thundery showers coming in from the west on friday before we're into atlantic air on saturday, and it will feel cooler and fresher again.

this is bbc news. the headlines: in new york, shops and cafes have begun reopening as the city emerges from lockdown. but public transport and streets were relatively empty on monday as many workers stayed home. more than 21,000 new yorkers have died since the outbreak began. worldwide the number of confirmed coronavirus infections has climbed above 9 million. for the first time, south korean health officials believe they're seeing a second wave of infections. south korea has been a success story in keeping case numbers and deaths low, but officials now expect the pandemic to go on for months. the sporting goods maker patagonia is the latest american company to suspend its advertising on facebook. mark zuckerberg has faced heavy criticism, some from his own staff, for his decision not to remove controversial posts by president trump. he insists facebook is committed to "advancing equity and racialjustice."
