With this very special salute to america, we celebrate our history, our people, and the heroes who proudly defend ourflag. The brave men and women of the United States military. Cheering and a 6 million row over this bust of King Tutankhamun has come to a head. The bbc has uncovered disturbing evidence that Muslim Children in Chinas Xinjiang region are being systematically separated from their families and placed in secure state schools. Official documents reveal large numbers of boarding schools have been built, housing children as young as two. Critics of chinas government say it is a deliberate policy targeting children from the minority uighur population, to cut them off from their own communities. Our china correspondentjohn sudworth has this exclusive report. In account after account, gathered in a meeting hall in istanbul, muslims from xinjiang speak again and again of the immeasurable grief of separation from their children. Who is looking after the children . Back home, china has been sweeping xinjiangs uighurs, kazakhs and other minorities, who have their own languages and culture, into giant camps, where they are taught chinese and to love the communist party. Abdurahman tohti moved to turkey in 2013. Three years ago, his wife and children went back to xinjiang for a short trip, and vanished. But then he found this a video posted online of his son in a boarding school, speaking not in uighur, his mother tongue, but in chinese. Alongside the camps, china has been building something else. Giant new schools, many with huge dormitories. This kindergarten sleeps hundreds. We film at one camp. While the adults are kept here, their children are in this nearby school. And this kindergarten has barbed wire, cameras, and signs that say only chinese should be spoken. Chinese officials deny the camps have left large numbers of children without anyone to look after them. But such cases are not hard to find. This woman recently found this picture of her stepdaughter on social media. It is a sign her close relatives are in the camps. Her stepdaughter in a boarding school and wearing traditional chinese costume. If you could send a message to her today, what would you tell her . Research of online documents commissioned by the bbc shows only an 8 increase in kindergarten places for china as a whole, but in xinjiang, as the camps have been built, there has been an 82 jump, and in some uighur majority areas, numbers have shot up even further. The xinjiang government is attempting to get full control over the young generation, to literally raise a new generation that has been cut off from original roots, from religious beliefs, from cultural knowledge, even from their own language. I believe the evidence really points what we must call cultural genocide. Kalida akytkankyzy has moved to kazakhstan, but when she heard that the chinese camps had left her 14 grandchildren without parents, she phoned the village official. We try to look for kalidas missing relatives. The family home is locked and deserted. We call the village official. But he hangs up on us too. We find only the signs of a giant vanishing, and the shattering of countless families. John sudworth, bbc news, xinjiang. With all boeing 737 max aircraft grounded because of two disastrous crashes, distraught families are pressing for answers. In particular, they want to know why the planes were not grounded after the first crash in indonesia last november. Investigations suggest the same Flight Control system was at fault when an Ethiopian Airlines jet crashed four months later. Speaking exclusively to the bbc, some families claim the aircraft manufacturer put commercial priorities ahead of safety. If wrongdoing is revealed, they want criminal charges. Simon browning reports. Everywhere we look, theres a blank where she should be. Struggling with their loss. Nadia and michaels daughter samya rose was on a boeing plane that crashed in ethiopian. Samya is right here. She was one of 157 people on board. How did those first couple of hours evolve for you both . I learned standing right over there in the laundry room. I it was 3 00am in the morning, and ijust started physically shaking, like, i couldnt stop my body from shaking. And then ijust thought, i cant tell the other people in the house. It was the second identical boeing jet crash in five months. Initial reports say they happened for the same reason a faulty Flight Control system. The 737 max has been grounded ever since. Critics say the development and launch of the jets was rushed, and that boeing cut corners at the expense of safety. Definitely my daughter died for the profit of boeing, and i dont want anyone else to die for that reason. I want these planes to be safe, and invest in the company and the hardware and the infrastructure to make our Aviation System safe. Nadia and michael want to know why their daughter died, and their fight has taken them to the top of the american government. They are now representing families from across north america. When et302 crashed, there were passengers from more than 30 countries on board. The highest proportion of those were from kenya, because the flight was bound for nairobi. But the second highest amount were from here in canada, and families from toronto are starting to want answers as to why their loved ones were killed. Well, i lost my wife, carol, my three children, ryan, kelly and ruby, and i also lost my mum in law. I feel so lonely. I look at people. I see them with their children, playing outside, and i know i cannot have my children. Paul njoroge lost his entire family. He believes they would still be alive if boeing had grounded the planes earlier. The crash of Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 was preventable. But these individuals knew that they will not be held criminally liable, they would not face years in prison. But, if they knew that they would face years in prison, then they would have grounded those planes in november. We asked boeing for an interview, and they declined. In a statement, they said but, for the families, life is changed forever. Their resolve now finding the truth. Simon browning, bbc news, in toronto.

There were tanks on the streets, and military flypasts. Hes called it salute to america, focusing, he insists, on patriotism rather than politics. His opponents see it as a made for tv campaign event. Thousands gathered to watch his speech on big screens, with protesters gathered nearby. Right from the outset, mr trump lauded Americas Armed forces. With this very special salute to america, we celebrate our history, our people, and the heroes who proudly defend ourflag the brave men and women of the United States military. Cheering 0ur correspondent Chris Buckler was at the lincoln memorial. To some extent the celebrations continue, but the militaristic element of this whole event, the element of this whole event, the element that donald trump was at the centre of, has now come to a close. And people can now reflect on the speech that he made. The white house had promised that his focus would be on patriotism, not politics, and actually, if you listened to the speech, that was true. It was a much more measured speech. But the addresses that we are used to from President Trump at rallies. For example, he referenced the Civil Rights Movement in the us. He referenced Martin Luther king, who also spoke here at the lincoln memorial, with his i have a dream speech. And President Trump did do his best to reflect all elements of america, as well as putting the real focus on each of the different branches of the us military. There we re branches of the us military. There were flyovers, there were tanks which sat alongside his podium here at lincoln memorial. But beyond that, there was a genuine attempt, i suppose, to reach out and try to say that, as one country, people should be able to celebrate on the fourth ofjuly. At the same time, when you talk to some of the crowd who have gathered here, it is clear that most of them were donald trump supporters, and perhaps others were on the other end of the national mall, where that capital concert is taking place just in the shadow of the capitol building. Lets ta ke lets take you back to dc. We are seeing some fireworks there still for the salute to america.

British marines have seized an Iranian Oil Tanker as it entered the mediterranean. They say it has evidence it was transporting oil to syria, a breach of European Union sanctions. Commandos used helicopters and boats to reach the ship and took control without firing any shots as it entered waters around british controlled gibraltar. In response, iran has accused the uk of piracy and summoned the British Ambassador in tehran. Suspicion was first raised when the ship, which would typically have had its oil transported through the suez canal to the mediterranean a much shorter, cheaper and safer option was instead tracked going a much longer way on a detour right around the coast of the african continent. With more details heres our defence correspondent jonathan beale. Britains ministry of defence has released these photos the moment marines boarded the tanker under the cover of darkness. First by ropes, then more by fast boat. No shots we re then more by fast boat. No shots were fired. Theyd been waiting until the vessel entered gibraltars territorial waters, with the legal justification for the raid, enforcing eu sanctions on syria. We have reason to believe that the raise one was gary its shipment of crude oil to syria grace one, thatis crude oil to syria grace one, that is a property subject to european sanctions against syria. As the sanctions invoiced are established by the eu, i have written to the president s of the European Commission and Council Setting out the details of the sanctions which we have enforced. But its not just sanctions which we have enforced. But its notjust about syria. The grace one is believed to have first been tried loading up with crude oil in iran, suspicions heightened as it took the longer route around the southern tip of africa, rather than the suez canal. According to spain, it was the United States that called on britain to intervene. Translation it was a man by the United States to the united kingdom, and we are looking into how it affects our sovereignty, because it happening what we understand, spanish waters. Any us demand for intervention may have more to do with iran than syria. Tensions have heightened ever since the us pulled out of a Nuclear Agreement programme with iran. While for the legal justification for servicing the tanker is to enforce eu sanctions on syria, iran sees it as an illegal act seizing the tanker, it summoned ambassadors to express his angen summoned ambassadors to express his anger. Its anger. A 3,000 year old bust of tutankhamun has been sold forjust under 6 million. Egypts Foreign Ministry had called on auction house christies to cancel the sale of the 3,000 year old relic, and says it was probably stolen from a temple in the 1970s.

Complex north of locks or locks are luxor. Until1970 we had proof that it was there stop it disappeared after 1970, were going to offer all of evidence to the court if we take christies to court. E. G. Entities laws in 1983 banning the removal of artefacts from the country. Egypt introduced laws. Christies said that the country had not expressed concerns in the past, saying it was publicly exhibited. Its thanks to all of the research that we carried out in advance of the sale that we published transparently in our catalogue.
