take part in press conferences at roland garros due to their effect on her mental health. she said expecting players to answer question after a defeat amounted to kicking a person while they are down. the organisers responded writing in a statement... osaka hit back on twitter writing... she was fined $15,000 for not doing the post match the media after this woman in her opening match. then came the news that she had decided to withdraw completely. in a long statement posted to twitter, she explained how she had suffered two and adding... you

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 vernonn 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 didn't want to ever 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 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, it's not about speech, it's 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 can't even live in this city. -

ijust can't. 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 wonder just how much has really changed in america over the past 100 years, gary o'donoghue, bbc news, tulsa. reverend robert turner is pastor of the vernon african methodist episcopal church. hejoins me now. good heavy with us, reverend. just explain the shadow that this task, the history of these i suppose, this unresolved, these attacks that have never has been held accountable for or brought to justice four. —— good to have you with us. first

federal government of the us, chose to put the interstate highway to the heart of our community and the couple that with having checks being given through what they call urban renewal to homes that had the property value have been depressed recently by the building of those interstate highways. so as a result of today, fast—forward 100 years later, the largest land owner in the greenwood district is the city of tulsa, the same city that was complicit at best and a co—conspirator at worst in the worst race massacre in us history and the oldest continuous landowner in this whole district. imilli oldest continuous landowner in this whole district.— whole district. will the cost of the humans to — whole district. will the cost of the humans to heal, _ whole district. will the cost of the humans to heal, if— whole district. will the cost of the humans to heal, if anything? it i whole district. will the cost of the l humans to heal, if anything? it has to beain humans to heal, if anything? it has to begin with _ humans to heal, if anything? it has to begin with a _ humans to heal, if anything? it has to begin with a confession - humans to heal, if anything? it has to begin with a confession for i humans to heal, if anything? it has to begin with a confession for us. l to begin with a confession for us. that's what would it cause. i tell my members, the bible teaches us to the fast with our mouth. there's been a confession here as far as

recognition of seeing. we had apologies but as far as confession, we have not had a large part because so long we denied it. the businesses compose aeroplanes were used to drop bombs on tulsa, one of them according to the race riot commission report 2001 west sinclair oil. they have said nothing about this. at all. we need repentance. you need to turn from these wicked ways of racism you need reparations and an order for there to ways of racism you need reparations and an orderfor there to be healing, you must acknowledge you are sick first of all you must stop doing the things that cause you to be sick and then you must heal the wounds that you are sick from front to and we have done neither. reverent, we must leave her there. thank you very much for speaking to us on bbc news. —— reverend, we must leave it there. 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: we report from the himalayan india—china border where tensions are rising between two of the world biggest nations.

in the biggest international sporting spectacle ever seen, up to 30 million people have taken part in sponsored athletics events to aid famine relief in africa. the first of what the makers of star wars hope will be thousands of queues started forming at 7am. taunting which led to scuffles, scuffles to fighting, fighting to full—scale riot, as the liverpool fans broke out of their area and into the juventus enclosure. the belgian police had lost control. the whole world will mourn - the tragic death of mr nehru today. he was the father of the indian - people from the day of independence. the oprah winfrey show comes to an end after 25 years and more than a500 episodes. the chat show has made her one of the richest people on the planet. geri halliwell, otherwise known as ginger spice, has announced she's left the spice girls. argh, i don't believe it! she's the one with the bounce, the go, girl power. not geri, why?

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. and the city of tulsa marks the centenary of the worst single act of racial violence in america's history. some scientists advising the uk 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 warn the government can't make a final decision for another two weeks, but some businesses argue they need clarity now. anna collinson reports. 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. it's been really good. yeah, i thought the queue was quite long, but it moves quite quickly and everything seems, like, really organised. ijust sort of want the whole countryjust to come out of lockdown hopefully 21st ofjune, so the more people vaccinated, the better. so, doing our part, really. this afternoon, it was announced anyone over 18 could come and get theirjab before the grounds close at 8pm this evening. almost three quarters of adults in the uk have now had a first dose. hounslow�*s public health service helped organise this event, as they're concerned some of those who are most at risk have not yet been vaccinated. we have, in the matter of four or five days, i pulled this event together so we can vaccinate up to 15,000 _ people in one day. the reason we've chosen such a big event is cos we can i social distance people, _ we can safely get that many people through the stadium. twickenham's location is also significant. it's close to hounslow, an area which has seen a rise in the variant first detected in india. people can come here and get a jab without an appointment,

and it's just one of the many measures being tried across the uk to encourage those who are eligible to come and get a vaccine. in bolton, which has a persistently high infection rate fuelled by the indian variant, a bus is offering a jab to eligible adults in affected areas. the army is also on hand to encourage residents without symptoms to get tested. while in glasgow, another area of concern, a drop—in vaccine centre has been set up to encourage anyone who's over a0 to get their second dose, as that provides more substantial protection. coronavirus cases in the uk are once again on the rise, with a 29% increase in the past week. it's thought it's being fuelled by the indian variant, but it's not yet known if this will translate into serious illness and hospitalisations. one of the experts advising the government says further easing of restrictions due in three weeks' time should be postponed. the people are not saying that we should, you know, abandon thejune 21st date all together, butjust to delay it by a few weeks whilst we gather more

intelligence and we can look at the trajectory in a clearer way. and if you look at the cost and benefits of getting it wrong, i think that it's heavily in the favour of delay. ministers say it will be a two—week wait before they can say for certain whether complete unlocking can go ahead on the 21st ofjune. i know everybody wants to know what's going to happen, but we can't actually make that judgement until we see the impact of the easements we've just made. the hope is drives like this in twickenham will make complete unlocking more likely. anna collinson, bbc news. while india is facing a devastating second wave of the coronavirus pandemic, it has not taken its eye off its border with china in its northern ladakh region. a year ago, both countries rushed tens of thousands of troops 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. here's an exclusive report by the bbc�*s anbarasan ethirajan who has been to the pangong tso area close to the india—china border. around china and india's disputed border in ladakh, the otherfood and the threat of avalanche offer a glimpse of the inhospitable terri. 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, 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 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. hundreds of afghans 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 deteriorates. our defence correspondent jonathan beale has more. afghan interpreters have put their lives on the line, serving alongside british troops in combat in helmand until 2014. though some have already been allowed to resettle in the uk, many were left behind and are now living in real danger, with their old employers soon about to leave for good. the departure of all us, british

and nato forces is under way. and there are growing concerns that those who work for them will be targeted by the taliban. so, the government's agreed a new programme to bring hundreds more back to britain for safety. along with their immediate families, it could mean more than 3000 afghans coming here to make their home in the uk. with the western powers leaving afghanistan, the threat is increasing and has increased with targeted attacks against afghans by the taliban. so, we think it's the right thing to do to stand by these people. they sacrificed a lot to look after us, and now we're going to do the same. the defence and home secretaries, seen here last year meeting some of the afghans who've already resettled in the uk, say it's a moral obligation to look after them. but it will also be a huge challenge in the midst of the military withdrawal. the last of the 750 british

troops in kabul are due to leave by september, and it's not yet clear where these afghan families will be resettled in the uk. jonathan beale, bbc news. let s get some of the day's other news. france, germany and other european countries demand answers following reports the us spied on its allies using danish underwater cables, as questions mount over whether denmark knew about the operation. israeli opposition parties have until wednesday night to form a coalition and oust benjamin netanyahu as prime minister. the centrist yair lapid says �*plenty of obstacles' remain before a deal is struck. mr netanyahu has said such a deal would endanger israel. peru has announced that the country's real number of coronavirus deaths is almost triple what was previously thought. 180,000 people have died of covid in peru — one of the highest death rates in the world. before i go, we'lljust return to out top story — noami osaka's withdrawal from the french open. it follows her decision to boycott post—match media duties at the grand slam tournament.

in the past few minutes we've heard from gilles moretton, the president of the french federation of tennis. first and foremost, we are sorry and sad for naomi osaka. the outcome of naomi withdrawing from roland garros is unfortunate. we wish her the best in the quickest possible recovery. and we look forward to having naomi in a tournament next year. as of the grand slams committed the bta, the ata, the atp, and the itf, we remain very committed to all athletes well—being and to continually improving every aspect of players cosmic experience in our tournaments. including with the

media, like we have always strived to do. more i learned that a little later. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @ ben m boulos —— more on that later. hello again. 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 at just 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.
