it will be cooler around the north sea coast. hello, i'm nuala mcgovern, this is outside source. leaders in the european union have called on denmark to explain accusations it helped the us spy on senior eu figures. european officials including german chancellor angela merkel are believed to have been targeted. today the french president said he wants answers. translation: i will simply say, this is not acceptable between allies. - in the united states, today marks 100 years since the city of tusla was the scene of the worst single act of racial violence in america's history. because of the massacre my family was driven out of our homes, we were left with nothing. was driven out of our homes, we were

and could this be the end of the road for benjamin netanyahu? we'll get the latest on the israeli opposition parties — edging closer to forming a coalition. professional tennis player naomi osaka has after a row with taking interviews with the media. there's been a strong reaction from the leaders of france and germany, to new revelations about the united states spying, on its allies. denmark is accused of helping the united states spy on european politicians back in the period 2012 to 2014 — including the german chancellor angela merkel. she was at a summit today

with emmanuel macron of france, who gave his response. translation: i will simply say this is simply unacceptable between allies. it's even less so between allies. it's even less so between allies and european partners. i have allies and european partners. i have a great regard for a mutual interest in our common security. there is no place between us for suspicion. that is why am waiting for a complete clarity from our american and danish partners on all the information they have about this revelation about the past. have about this revelation about the past. the new relevations about the spying come in a story byjournalists at the danish public service broadcaster danmarks radia — also known as dr. in its scoop, dr says denmark's defence intelligence service collaborated with the us national security agency — the nsa — to gather information. by tapping into danish internet cables, the nsa is said to have accessed text messages and the phone conversations of prominent

politicians in germany, france, sweden and norway. this graphic from the report shows submarine cables connecting denmark to its neighbours. among those targeted is one of europe's arguably most powerfulfigureheads — german chancellor angela merkel, . her then—foreign minister frank—walter steinmeier — he is now the german president — and the opposition leader at the time, peer steinbruck. here's what one expert said in that dr report. that they were not expected to spy on their allies. that the us had been spying on its close nato ally, germany, was first alleged back in 2013 when you may remember a certain

mr edward snowden leaking secret documents alleging, among other things, the tapping of the german chancellor's phone by the nsa. this is what mrs merkel had to say at the time. "ever since we have been speaking about the nsa i have repeatedly made clear to the us president, spying on friends is unacceptable. back then the white house gave no outright denial but said mrs merkel�*s phone was not being bugged at the time and would not be in future. german government officials have said they were not aware of danish involvement until this latest dr report. whats is unclear is whether the spying was authorised by the danish government itself. a statement by the danish defence minister said.

reaction to the allegations has been mixed. here's the defence minister from denmark's neighhbouer — norway. this is a serious matter also in denmark. is it a serious matterfor many countries but we are awaiting those investigations. and then it is the case that the trust between the countries, the trust is great so i expect we will find a solution in the future. it is also the case at the future. it is also the case at the danish minister of defence was quite clear that monitoring of allies is completely unacceptable to the danish authorities. while the official response from these governments has so far been reserved, here's one member of parliament in sweden — who did not mince his words. translation: it makes me really upset _ translation: it makes me really upset even though i smile. i'm still shocked _ upset even though i smile. i'm still shocked and also angry that this is happened — shocked and also angry that this is happened in this way. i don't know who they— happened in this way. i don't know who they bug but this feels like the cold wan _ cold war. the alleged spying took place under president obama. and back then, his vice president

was none other than the current us presidentjoe biden. edward snowden — the whistleblower who first leaked details of extensive internet and phone surveillance by us intelligence — has tweeted that mr biden... let's speak to one of the journalists behind the dr investigation — niels fastrup, whojoins me now from copenhagen. we are going through a little bit of the background they are. perhaps you could elaborate for us as i was showing a graphic of arrows going from denmark to other countries with the submarine internet cables. but what exactly did they find? 14541431111

the submarine internet cables. but what exactly did they find?- what exactly did they find? well to be honest, what exactly did they find? well to be honest. we _ what exactly did they find? well to be honest, we haven't _ what exactly did they find? well to be honest, we haven't been - what exactly did they find? well to be honest, we haven't been able l what exactly did they find? well to | be honest, we haven't been able to clarify that. the only thing we know is that spying was done and it was an essay that spied on this collaboration with the danish intelligent agency on these figures. including politicians in sweden, norway and france. but what exactly would gain from it by nsa we haven't been able to clarify as of now. we ho -e to been able to clarify as of now. we hope to do that in the future. when i was looking back on this timeline as we were outlining to our viewers, this was known a number of years ago. but why have all these details come to light right now? this ago. but why have all these details come to light right now?— come to light right now? this is most certainly _ come to light right now? this is most certainly not _ come to light right now? this is most certainly not something . come to light right now? this is i most certainly not something that neither the danish intelligence agency nor the danish government want to see come out into the daylight. it has taken investigative journalism on behalf of us during the last nine months to get the story out. you could say maybe one

of the secrets that the danish state would like to keep hidden. weill. would like to keep hidden. well, it's not hidden _ would like to keep hidden. well, it's not hidden anymore. - would like to keep hidden. well, it's not hidden anymore. that. would like to keep hidden. well, it's not hidden anymore. that much i think everybody can agree on. just even the past hour were beginning to see reaction from various countries coming in. how big a problem would you see it for denmark now going forward particularly with germany, norway, sweden and france? it certainly seems to be growing by the hour. if you asked me that question 25 hours ago before we broke the story last night i wouldn't have imagined a reaction like the ones we are seeing now. especially with present macron and count tonight angela merkel putting hard criticism on the danish government. there is no doubt denmark being a small country, only 6 million people that this is like a massive pressure being put on denmark and especially of course the danish government. from not only germany and france but

also sweden and norway. find from not only germany and france but also sweden and norway.— also sweden and norway. and then we have the united _ also sweden and norway. and then we have the united states, _ also sweden and norway. and then we have the united states, of _ also sweden and norway. and then we have the united states, of course - have the united states, of course which is the other part. mr biden on his way next month. i mentioned some of what edmonds snorted and said as well. this is going to have to in some way be ironed out or come to some way be ironed out or come to some sort of agreement or understanding, i would some sort of agreement or understanding, iwould imagine before that meeting. understanding, i would imagine before that meeting.— understanding, i would imagine before that meeting. well, i think eve bod before that meeting. well, i think everybody now— before that meeting. well, i think everybody now especially - before that meeting. well, i think everybody now especially the - everybody now especially the scandinavian partners, defence minister is talking about this investigation going on in denmark right now into this matter. we expect that to conclude later this year. maybe in december. what these neighbours are really waiting for now is for that investigation to conclude. the only thing is that we don't know for sure what is being investigated by the danish government right now. and we have some information that seems to suggest that especially, particularly these questions and

spying on neighbouring countries, they are not included in this investigation going on right now. so it's going to be really interesting to see how this plays out in the coming months.— to see how this plays out in the coming months. to see how this plays out in the cominu months. �* .., ., , coming months. and the coming hours as well. coming months. and the coming hours as well- thank — coming months. and the coming hours as well. thank you _ coming months. and the coming hours as well. thank you so _ coming months. and the coming hours as well. thank you so much _ coming months. and the coming hours as well. thank you so much for- as well. thank you so much for joining us. let's turn to tulsa, in oklahoma. it's marking 100 years since the worst act of racial violence in us history. on 31 may 1921 a white mob rampaged through an affluent black district of the city. this was the result. around 300 black people were killed and 35 square blocks of the city were completely destroyed. before the massacre this area had been known as �*black wall street', due to its prosperity. some of the survivors spoke to the us congress earlier this month. i will never forget the violence of the white mob when we left our home.

i still see black men 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. let's run through what happened. 100 years ago a mob of white people was angered by the alleged assault of a white teenage woman by a black man. they started fires in the district of greenwood, targeting businesses owned by black people. they also targeted african american people's homes. around 1,200 were burned. as were several churches, as you can see in this photograph. there are even reports that privately—owned planes dropped incendiary bombs from the air. all this happened while the white mob shot and killed around 300 black people.

10 thousand were made homeless. brent leggs is a historian focusing on preserving african american history. it's hard to imagine in contemporary society the depth of racism and violence that happened in tulsa against american citizens. and it really speaks to the ongoing struggle and fight forjustice and equality in the united states for black people. let's get more from gary o'donoghue, who's in tulsa. so here is the basement room where people hid. how many people came down here? at least a few hundred. robert turner is the reverend at the ame church. it was one of several burnt 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 didn't ever want to bring it up and any of the black people who brought it up, they were either killed, 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 and compensation. it would take 75 years for they are to be any official recognition that a massacre had taken place at all. and now as tuldsa marks it centenary locating where the victims are buried it's onlyjust beginning. kevin 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 felt were picked up and tossed in various different areas of the city.

we don't know but were going to act, were going to get them. despite this being the worst act of racial violence in american history, it's not very well—known, particuarly outside the us. on that here's scott ellsworth, the lead scholar on the 1921 race riot commission. oh, there is no question whatsoever that there was a very active cover—up of the story of the tulsa race massacre for more than 50 years. official documents and records were stolen. articles were cut out of bound volumes of newspapers. tulsa's two white daily newspapers went to extreme lines never ——lengths to mention the story at all. and there were early researchers, some as recently as the 1970s who had their lives threatened, their livelihoods threatened for bringing this up. but there was an irony too in that in the african american community the massacre was also not spoken about in the public sphere.

and i think the way to think of it is this was such a horrific event that massacre survivors you might compare them to holocaust survivors. and like holocaust survivors they often didn't want to burden their children and grandchildren with these traumatic memories. and so it really is not till the late 1960s that in tulsa's greenwood community, the black district, the massacre started to be talked about in newspapers and other things. scott ellsworth there — whose commission recommended that reparations be paid to massacre survivors. 100 years on and that hasn't happened. as a result there are divisions about how the anniversary should be marked. here's a lawyer for the survivors. there is no celebration without reparation. and the centennial is not about concerts, it's not about speeches, it's not about interviews. it is about focusing on the people

that were harmed in doing everything in our power to make sure those people receive justice, in our power to make sure those people receivejustice, respect and reparations. one of the events planned to mark the anniversary — a major concert — has been cancelled. let's get more from gary o'donoghue in tulsa. there've been plenty of commemorations over the last few days here. you could see behind me the dedication of a prayer wall at the dedication of a prayer wall at the ame church. they have been marches, ribbon cuttings, unveiling as of this and that but at the heart of it there is still there is huge disagreement between the city of tulsa over who should pay reparations for the survivors of who was affected that night. that quite frankly is unresolved. and it led to the cancellation of the absolute centrepiece of these commemorations which was due to be this afternoon with the singer—songwriterjohn legend and the absolute star of the democratic party, to stacy abrams.

that is all off. and that really is a bit of a blight on this weekend of commemoration. thank you so much you gary o'donoghue. thank you so much you gary o'donoghue. let's go to israel because it could be the beginning of the end for benjamin netanyahu. he's the country's longest—serving prime minister — having been in charge since 2009. opposition leader yair lapid, a centrist, is in talks to form a coalition with the right—wing nationalist naftali bennett, a former ally of mr netanyahu. mr lapid has until midnight on wednesday to gather a majority. here's what he said earlier. translation: there is still plenty of obstacles on the way to forming a new government. maybe that's a good thing because we will have to overcome them together. but that is our first test, to see if we can find smart compromises in the coming days to achieve the greater goal. under the proposed deal these two mean, yair lapid and naf—tali bennett, would reportedly take turns to be prime minister.

benjamin netanyahu had been offering naftali bennett his own power—sharing arrangement. this is his response. translation: i heard naftali bennett, unfortunately he is again misleading the public. same lies, same _ misleading the public. same lies, same empty slogans on hate and division _ same empty slogans on hate and division from someone who helps hatred _ division from someone who helps hatred and division. and also someone _ hatred and division. and also someone who is perpetrating, i must say, the _ someone who is perpetrating, i must say, the fraud of the century. a say, the fraud of the century. complicated picture. say, the fraud of the century. a complicated picture. let's get more from joel greenberg — he's an analyst for bbc monitoring injerusalem. yearly. the opposition leaders trying to put together he's been charged with forming a government. now that naftali bennett, the right wing politician hasjoined forces with the opponents of mr netanyahu they are trying to cobble together a majority in parliament. right now the map is that they have a razor thin majority of 1's seat in 120 member legislature. they are trying

to work out coalition deals with different factions to form a coalition government with out prime minister netanyahu. it would effectively unseat him. it's also worth noting that this is happening while high—level talks are also going on to strengthen a ceasefire between israeli and palestinian militants. 11 days of conflict was halted just over a week ago. let's speak to anshel pfeffer, journalist for the israeli newspaper haaretz. he's also written a biography of benjamin netanyahu. perfectly placed to speak to us today. thank you forjoining us on outside source. why do you think there's political negotiations are happening now? iliiuieiiii there's political negotiations are happening now?— there's political negotiations are hauenina now? ~ , ., , happening now? well they have been ha enin: happening now? well they have been happening for — happening now? well they have been happening for a _ happening now? well they have been happening for a while. _ happening now? well they have been happening for a while. ever _ happening now? well they have been happening for a while. ever since - happening for a while. ever since the election over two months ago when it became clear that netanyahu doesn't have a majority to form a government of it his own. the opposition have been trying to

somehow work out a formula for getting together and they are forming a new government that will replace them. finally they seem to have got their act together as your analyst at a moment ago, they now have a majority. they would have a majority of all parties committed to joining this new government. and actually vote for when the confidence probably next week. i confidence probably next week. i understand. let me ask you though, so many people thought in fact the bombardment of gaza that was taking place that that would strengthen benjamin not new to eight netanyahu politically, did it? h0. benjamin not new to eight netanyahu politically, did it?— politically, did it? no, i don't think it is- — politically, did it? no, i don't think it is. i— politically, did it? no, i don't think it is. i don't— politically, did it? no, i don't think it is. i don't understand politically, did it? no, i don't- think it is. i don't understand why people thought that. it has failed over and over again to make any progress on the issue of gaza, israel and hamas and the islamic

jihad have fought all these rounds of or fill rockets flying and paralysing large parts of israel. and israel responded with air strikes with the attica is really are sick and tired of it. even if it hasn't pushed the israeli public to the centre or the left it's also because i think increasing fatigue amongst his own supporters. we really sought in the last election where a large chunk of supporters just stayed at home was up that is probably what netanyahu majority, what happened two weeks ago in gaza is another round of warfare has only increased his fatigue that many israelis feel on netanyahu his rule. let us see what happens. thank you so much for speaking to us. there was a little crackle on the line they are. forgive us our viewers on that. but fatigue as he was

describing he believes that led to in fact these other parties perhaps gaining the upper hand. although mr netanyahu as many say is a formidable political opponent. let's see how it plays out over the coming days. let's bring you some breaking news now. japanese tennis player noami osaka has withdrawn from the french open. it follows her decision to boycott post—match media duties at the grand slam tournament. she had been fined $15,000 by the organisers for failing to attend a news conference following her first—round win. she has released this statement on twitter which says "i think now the best thing for the tournament, other players and my wellbeing is that i withdraw so that everyone can get back to focussing on the tennis." let's speak to austin halewood from the bbc sport centre. was this expected? i don't think it

was, to be honest. it wasn't expected that she would pull out from the tournament it was more people in paris at the french open thought she would step back from her media commitments for the first game for supper then she would carry them out is normal because it would obviously need she could keep her place of the tournament. it's come as a bit of a surprise there's news that she's pulled out of the naomi of osaka is one of the most recognisable players in the women's game. and all global sport to be honest she is the world number two. she was one of the favourites for this tournament. as you mentioned a little bit earlier, it's all because she pulled out of her media commitments saying that she wanted to protect her mental health. she was fine then £10,000 by the french open but a joint statement from the four grand slam organiser said osaka could face a more substantial fines and future grand slam suspensions if she continued with her media boycott. so she's clearly sucked on

this over the last night and within the last 30 minutes usually is that statement you showed there. saying she will withdraw from the dash slept. she says she suffered with long bouts of depression or depression said she wanted us open in 2018. she said it's nothing about the press, it's nothing against them it's more of a way of her coping with her anxiety of public speaking. she says she is now going to take some time away from the game to consider how she moves forward from here. big shock news from the french open in the last half hour. if here. big shock news from the french open in the last half hour.— open in the last half hour. if such an interesting _ open in the last half hour. if such an interesting story _ open in the last half hour. if such an interesting story on _ open in the last half hour. if such an interesting story on so - open in the last half hour. if such an interesting story on so many l an interesting story on so many levels. even for people perhaps i don't follow tennis. i suppose, what does the player oh in audience after a match? particularly when laws i think that is what she's talking about. and that you're kind of put on show and asked him questions. others will say she is what she's talking about. and that you're kind of put on show and asked him questions. others will say she's paid big money and that's part of

thejob. is it possible to know paid big money and that's part of the job. is it possible to know what level of support she has among players or indeed tennis fans? i players or indeed tennis fans? 1 think that's going to be very interesting particularly as you mention from fellow players who are of course all in the same position as her. they are in front of cameras for most of theirjob, are they really? they have to answer the tough questions straight after defeats and big losses in the big matters. it can be interesting to see what all the fellow players say. i'm sure we will find out what they think about it over the coming hours and even days at the french open which goes on for the next couple of weeks. they will be plenty of our interviews with different players will all be giving their thoughts on the naomi osaka, of course one of the naomi osaka, of course one of the hot topics at all the press conferences after each mat that taken place at the moment. i know serena williams is going to be on court shortly. i'm sure she'll be asked about this if she speaks to the immediate aftermath. it really is just part and parcel of the sport as well. they are always expected to do these media commitments. that's

why the organisers have come down so hard on her. we why the organisers have come down so hard on her-— hard on her. we will see what happens- _ hard on her. we will see what happens- we _ hard on her. we will see what happens. we are _ hard on her. we will see what happens. we are going - hard on her. we will see what happens. we are going to - hard on her. we will see what i happens. we are going to leave hard on her. we will see what - happens. we are going to leave it there. but it changes the whole french open. thanks forjoining us on outside source. hello there. bank holiday monday was the warmest day of the year so far. the previous highest temperature of 2a and a half degrees was set way back in march. today, we beat that in northern scotland here around the murry firth, we weren't too far behind the sunshine around london and just to the west of london as well. after a lovely evening, we're going to have a clear skies across many parts of the country tonight. there probably won't be as much of this low cloud coming back in again from off the north sea and after all that warmth of earlier in the sunshine, temperatures overnight for many, should remain in the double figures. but we could start tomorrow, a bit grey and cloudy across parts of yorkshire, lincolnshire and eastern parts of scotland, that low cloud burning back to the coast it will stay

a little bit cooler. sunshine coming out western scotland and northern ireland, many places it's going to be another day like today with lots of sunshine and warmth as well. those temperatures could be a little bit higher today up to 25 and even 26 degrees and remember, the sun is strong as it was today and we've got high uv levels across many parts of the country. if you're near the coast, it's easy to cool down a bit just go into the sea, it's not too warm this time of the year. temperatures are on the coast of the southeast of england and east anglia. we start to see the weather changing as we move into wednesday. we've got this lowering pressures in an area of low pressure coming from the southwest. this is going to be more cloud to the southwest of england and into wales in particular in some showers could be heavy in a heavier maybe even thundery. this can extend towards hampshire and merseyside and eventually into northern ireland. it will be dry with lots of sunshine and the highest temperatures, 26, maybe even 27 will be seen across western scotland down

through the midlands in the southeast of england, it will be a bit cooler on the north sea coast because there will be stronger easterly wind coming in off the sea. that weather front of low pressure will continue to work its way and we will see some showers moving northwards over night. gradually throughout thursday, though showers become lighter, fewer and further between but there's still some cloud across northern england and moving up into scotland. to through the south of that we should see the sunshine coming out more and more, but the air is not going to be quite as warm on thursday, still a pleasant day and we do get some sunshine with highs of 22 or 23 celsius.

that's 13 million people. cases have been rising in the country with hundreds of new cases every day. officials are warning warning about a new hybrid variant of the virus, which is a cross between the uk and the indian variant.here'sjonathan head. the uk and the indian variant. here's jonathan head. they don't know how infectious this new strain is going to be and it appears to have combined genetic material on these infectious strains and their very worried that it may prove even more potent than those variants and whether they can really test the whole population of the city is more of a headline, really. their apparent capacity for testing people is 100,000 a day inside unclear clear of the ob pcr tests are just antibodies tests which can give a lot of results. after four months to testing the whole city and by the time the other lot might�*ve been infected. but it does show the

desperation. vietnam did manage to control the spread of covid well last year. mainly through contact tracing and local lockdowns. but it is yet to start mass vaccinations. just one percent of the population has received a vaccine. the government is now encouraging local authorities to import vaccines themselves. here's jonathan head again. each country in this region is taking a different approach for thailand and vietnam, they have some similarities. they controlled covid—19 and there was a since they kept it out and kept the borders closed and they did not have such an urgent need for vaccines as countries in europe and the united states and south america, for example. both thailand and vietnam have been trying to develop their own vaccines and improve their own capacity. understandably, they want security but they simply did not order vaccines early enough and when vietnam is vaccinated with only vaccine, it'sjust vietnam is vaccinated with only vaccine, it's just a fraction of the population. thailand is scarcely any

better and they're struggling to buy as many vaccines as they came from different places in vietnam's case, partly for political reasons, they have refused to take vaccines from china. chinese vaccines, although they are not quite as good as some of the others, are in fact the only vaccines available in quantity in these regions. so there hamstrung by that. they are a long way behind britain in the united states. they are a long way behind britain and the united states. hanoi has suspended all international flight arrivals. here's the world service's vietnamese editor on what the broader impact of that could be. it slowly and gradually, the vietnamese government has seen effects from the outside, the public to vietnam and so, they had to do it but it matters because it is a huge impact on the economy and on shout homes and living abroad or workers from other countries and experts

coming in to help vietnam and the economy because it is all come to a stop. let's look now at afghanistan. officials are warning that a third wave is coming. it is now suspected that the highly infectious indian variant of the virus is in the country. the country recorded thirty new covid related deaths over the past twenty four hours and there's a high number of infections. here's secunder kermani. afghanistan recorded its highest number of coronavirus infections. by standards, it's still rather low for someone to cases, 30 new deaths but you have to remember that testing figures in afghanistan are also extremely low. so unfortunately, the real number of infections, the real number of deaths is likely to be significantly higher and that latest third wave of infections does seem to be spreading fast in the country

and we are told that in the mainland treating covid—19 patients are already full and officials of the ordered schools and universities in large parts of the country to close down for the next two weeks and they've already ordered wedding homes to be shut down and this spike in infections is likely to be related to two factors. the festival earlier this month when families got togetherfor earlier this month when families got together for gatherings into for the suspected presence of the indian variant of coronavirus which is thought to of been more infectious between indian and afghanistan which have been continuing. there have been very little mask wearing, very little social distancing afghanistan is an extremely poor country and the health care system is very weak, so if the situation deteriorates further, it's going to be difficult for doctors to manage the conflict, the ongoing conflict with the taliban and making matters even more

difficult and the vaccination campaign has been under way and processes been slow with issues both around the supply of the vaccine and amongst the public. china is relaxing its family planning policy to allow couples to have three children, up from the current limit of two. the decision comes after census data showed a steep decline in the number of births. it's not yet clear when the change will take effect. china scrapped its decades—old one—child policy in 2016, replacing it with a two—child limit. but that's failed to lead to a sustained upsurge in births. the country's census, released earlier this month, showed that around 12 million babies were born last year. that's a significant fall from the 18 million births recorded in 2016 china's current population is just under 1.4 billion people. the announcement of the new policy was met with mixed reactions

on the streets of beijing. translation: i think it's a good policy because the ageing - of the population is quite serious. i think the country should've publish this policy earlier. couples like us have missed the time that we could have another child. translation: we came here to travel from a third tier city. _ i think no matter where we live the mindset is that 1's child is enough. translation: there should be more i policies for to encourage people i to give birth to more children - including more education support, medical support so that people are more willing to give - birth to children. here's more from our china correspondent steve mcdonell. well in short, the government is trying to now tackle its ageing population problem. that is the problem of having to deal with people retiring, etc without having enough young workers coming through, paying taxes and the like by easing off restrictions on people having children. the question though is given

the initial easing off to two children, that didn't produce a big boom in babies, why would easing up to three make any difference? i suppose they are hoping that those with a preparedness to have at least two children, at least some of them might have three. but many policy makers are wondering given the demographic situation here, why have restrictions at all? lauren johnston is from the soas china institute, she says the new limit may not be intended to drastically alter china's population. i think it's not about rescuing china are from a long—run trend of i think it's not about rescuing china from a long—run trend of population of decline. rather i think it's about giving the minority of families who want to have three children and still can that choice. so i think it's a family oriented policy rather than a policy to save china or change china's population, perse.

and our china media analyst kerry allen says the new policy has not been popular on social media. you look at the trending hashtags on the platform in a way it's kind of like facebook or twitter, the top three are all dedicated to theirs. there are hundreds of thousands of comments. but people are not enthusiastic about it. and i remember back in 2016 when the one child policy was abolished. people really thought while china change a lot nowadays with topics very expensive to have a child, people have other things in their lives they want to pursue further education, they want to continue in employment. having a child is not a big priority. a lot of social media comments very much reflect that. they don't want to have one child or if they've got one they want don't want to have to let alone three. two let alone three. as we've been reporting — the breaking news in the past hour — japanese tennis player noami osaka

has withdrawn from the french open. it follows her decision to boycott post—match media duties at the grand slam tournament. she had been fined $15,000 by the organisers for failing to attend a news conference following her first—round win. she released a statement on twitter saying "i think now the best thing for the tournament, other players and my wellbeing is that i withdraw so that everyone can get back to focussing on the tennis." in her statement osaka said that talking to the media triggered anxiety. she said she had suffered bouts of depression since winning her first slam title at the us open in 2018 she wrote "anyone that knows me knows i'm introverted. i am not a natural public speaker" there's been lots of reaction on social media already — much of it in support of naomi osaka. writer roxanne gay tweets... "good for osaka for prioritizing her mental health and shame on the french open and tennis governing bodies for making it come to this. the author wajahat ali says: "good for naomi osaka. she has a very bright

future ahead of her. take time. rest. heal. come back whenever you're ready and able." and stan van gundy, the head coach of the us basketball team the new orleans pelicans asks: "just a question for the tennis authorities — is it better for your sport to have naomi osaka playing and not speaking to the media or not playing at all?" after a match but the conversation will continue. stay with us on outside source — still to come. in canada there are calling for further examinations of all former residential schools after the discovery of a mass grave at one last week. let's turn to the uk now. and some scientists advising the government on coronavirus, are calling for the lifting

of the final lockdown restrictions in england, due on the 21st ofjune, to be postponed. they say they're concerned about rising infection rates, due to the indian variant. ministers say the government can't make a final decision for another two weeks. here's our health correspondent, anna collinson. it's one of the biggest rugby stadiums in the world, but today thousands are being encouraged to come to twickenham for their coronavirus jab. the ground is close to hounslow, an area which has seen a rise almost three quarters have had a first dose. nearly three quarters of adults in the uk have now had a first dose. hounslow�*s public health service says one in ten older people haven't taken up their invite for a vaccine. we have in the matter of four or five days pulled this event together so we can vaccinate up to 15,000 people in one day. the reason we have chosen such a big event is we can socially distance people,

we can safely get that many people through the stadium. coronavirus cases in the uk are once again on the rise with a 27% increase in the past week. the people the people are not saying that we should _ the people the people are not saying that we should abandon _ the people the people are not saying that we should abandon this - the people the people are not saying that we should abandon this but - the people the people are not saying that we should abandon this but we | that we should abandon this but we should _ that we should abandon this but we should just delay it.— should 'ust delay it. ministers say it will should just delay it. ministers say it will be a two _ should just delay it. ministers say it will be a two week _ should just delay it. ministers say it will be a two week wait - should just delay it. ministers say it will be a two week wait before i it will be a two week wait before they can say for certain for the complete unlocking can go ahead on the 21st ofjune.— the 21st ofjune. everyone wants to know what will _ the 21st ofjune. everyone wants to know what will happen _ the 21st ofjune. everyone wants to know what will happen but - the 21st ofjune. everyone wants to know what will happen but we - the 21st ofjune. everyone wants to i know what will happen but we cannot make _ know what will happen but we cannot make that _ know what will happen but we cannot make thatjudgment _ know what will happen but we cannot make that judgment until— know what will happen but we cannot make that judgment until we - know what will happen but we cannot make thatjudgment until we see - know what will happen but we cannot make thatjudgment until we see the j make thatjudgment until we see the impact _ make thatjudgment until we see the impact of— make thatjudgment until we see the impact of what — make thatjudgment until we see the impact of what we _ make thatjudgment until we see the impact of what we just _ make thatjudgment until we see the impact of what we just made. - make thatjudgment until we see the impact of what we just made. dri'xresl impact of what we 'ust made. drives like this on the — impact of what we just made. drives like this on the complete _ impact of what we just made. like this on the complete unlocking more likely.

this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story. european politicians have called on denmark to shed light the leaders of france and germany have said wiretapping close allies is "unacceptable". denmark is alleged to have helped the united states spy on european allies, during the obama adminstration. indigenous leaders and opposition parties in canada are calling for further examinations of all former residential schools in the country after the discovery of a mass grave at one last week. the aim of these government and church—run places for over a century from the late 1880s right up until the mid 1990s — was to take indigenous children by force from their families and assimilate them into euro canadian life. the bodies of 215 children were found at the kamloops indian residential school in british columbia, which closed in 1978. steps are currently being taken to establish the causes and timings of the deaths.

however, experts believe that this is by no means an isolated incident. linc kesler, is the director of the university of british columbia's first nations house of learning, which aims to make the university s resources more accessible to indigenous people. here he is outlining how people have reacted to the discovery of bodies at kamloops school. well, i think it depends really on which people we are talking about. i think in indigenous communities, people are, of course it's a shock to hear this kind of news but it is a circumstance which has long been suspected. and to some extent already documented. so in that sense, it is not so much of a surprise. i think for many other people in canada it is shocking because it is still the case that in spite of all of the efforts that

have been made to make this history more available to people and more widely understood, it is still not widely enough understood and appreciated. for many people it shocking. of course the details are always shocking. historically, when these schools were operating, i think there was a real attempt to suppress information about them. and so people did not widely know it and that was because it was a policy that they should not know it. the truth and reconciliation commission in the earlier part of this century documented much about the schools and made that information public. but even with that effort there had still been people who have persisted in the belief that these schools were in some respects kind of a benevolent effort of some sort to provide education. these schools work by removing children from their communities, often forcibly at very young ages. really is young as three,

five years old. and many children spent their entire childhood in the schools and they were not allowed to go back to theirfamilies. many lost touch with their families. the schools very deliberately refused to allow the students to speak their languages. and many lost their ability to speak their languages. they were punished, disciplinary regimes were very harsh. there was widespread abuse both physical and sexual and certainly emotional. let's turn to afghanistan now — and hundreds of interpreters, who worked for the british military and at its embassy in kabul, are to be rapidly relocated — with many expected to be resettled in the uk. the decision comes amid fears for their safety, as international troops prepare to leave the country, and the security situation wiyth

the taliban deteriorates. our defence correspondent jonathan beale has more. interpreters have put their lives on the line, serving alongside british troops in combat until 2014. some have already been allowed to resettle in the uk, many were left behind and are now living in real danger. they're all employers soon about to leave for good. the departure of us british and nato forces is under way and has a growing concern that those work for them will be targeted by the taliban. so the government has agreed a new programme will bring hundreds of more back to britain for safety, alongside their immediate families, there could be more than 3000 afghans coming here to make their home in the uk. the 3000 afghans coming here to make their home in the uk.— their home in the uk. the western owers their home in the uk. the western powers leaving _ their home in the uk. the western powers leaving afghanistan, - their home in the uk. the western powers leaving afghanistan, the i powers leaving afghanistan, the threat is increasing with targeted attacks by the taliban and so, we think it's the right thing to do to stand by these people and they

sacrificed a lot to look after us and i were going to do the same. the defence and home secretary seen here last year were some of them who resettled in the uk say it is a moral obligation to look after them. but it will also be a huge challenge in the midst of a huge military withdrawal. the last of the 750 british troops in kabul is set to leave by september and it is not yet clear where these families will be resettled in the uk. and to south africa, where covid restrictions are being tightened due to a sharp rise in cases. south africa is the worst affected nation in africa. the restrictions will extend a night time curfew and limit indoor gatherings to 100 people. restaurants, bars and fitness

centres expected to close. here's the president cyril ramaphose. the ministerial advisory committee on covid—19 has therefore recommended that the country urgently implement further restrictions to limit the increase in infection. it bases this recommendation on the sustained increase in new cases in the last 14 days. increased hospital admissions in almost all provinces and an increase in the proportion of covid test that are positive. and to australia where the state of victoria is half way through a week long lockdown. it was prompted by cases in care homes including this one. the state reported eleven further cases on monday. victoria had one of the longest and strictest lockdowns in the world last year.

the state's second wave accounts for 90% of all deaths in australia. and there are now warnings that this could be a longer lockdown. here's the acting state premier. the challenge ahead of us is a very significant one. in the past 24 hours, we have identified many points of concern in addition to the wording cases and private edge care. and we are also very concerned about the other higher risk exposure sites and we are seeing a small number of cases infecting a large number of contacts. there is no doubt that the situation is incredibly serious. the next few days remain critical and this outbreak may get worse before it gets better. stay with us here on bbc.

hello there. bank holiday monday was the warmest day of the year so far. the previous highest temperature of 24 and a half degrees was set way back in march. today, we beat that in northern scotland here around the marie firth, we weren't too far behind the sunshine around london and just to the west of london as well. after a lovely evening, we're going to have a clear skies across many parts of the country tonight. there probably won't be as much of this low cloud coming back in again from off the north sea and after all that warmth of earlier in the sunshine, temperatures overnight for many, should remain in the double figures. but we could start tomorrow, a bit grey and cloudy across parts of yorkshire, lincolnshire and eastern parts of scotland, that low cloud burning to the coast it will stay a little bit cooler. sunshine coming out western scotland and northern ireland, many places it's going to be another

day like today with lots of sunshine and warmth as well. those temperatures could be a little bit higher today up to 25 and even 26 degrees and remember, the sun is strong as it was today and we've got high uv levels across many parts of the country. if you're near the coast, it's easy to cool down a bit just go into the sea, it's not too warm this time of the year. temperatures are on the coast of the southeast of england and east anglia. we start to see the weather changing as we move into wednesday. we've got this lowering pressures in an area of low pressure coming from the southwest. this is going to be more cloud to the southwest of england and into wales in particular in some showers could be heavy in a heavier maybe even thundery. this can extend towards hampshire and merseyside and eventually to northern ireland. it will be dry with lots of sunshine and the highest temperatures, 26, maybe even 27 will be seen across western scotland down through the midlands in the southeast of england,

it will be a bit cooler on the north sea coast because there will be stronger easterly wind coming in off the sea. that weather front of low pressure will continue to work its way and we will see some showers moving northwards over night. throughout thursday, though showers become lighter, fewer and further between but there's still some cloud across northern england and moving up into scotland. to through the south of that we should see the sunshine coming out more and more, but the air is not going to be quite as warm on thursday, still a pleasant day and we do get some sunshine with highs of 22 or 23 celsius.
