bbc--2020-06-19--Debbie Kaore: The attack that highlighted an epidemic of abuse

Before last week , Debbie Kaore was best known in Papua New Guinea as a champion boxer who won gold at the Pacific Games in 2015 and had recently made a career-changing move to rugby .
Then last Friday , a video was widely shared on social media that showed Ms Kaore being violently attacked with a hot iron in her home .
The video was posted on TikTok and Instagram by her friend , with permission , and went viral .
Ms Kaore 's partner Murray Oa , a lieutenant in the Papua New Guinean army , was arrested @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Graphic pictures showed terrible injuries on the rugby player 's face and body .
`` I realised if I did n't get out of our room , he would burn me alive , '' she said in an interview with the BBC .
The footage of her Ms Kaore 's assault has shone a light on the extent of domestic abuse in Papua New Guinea , and led to statements of support for her from the UN and the nation 's Prime Minister James Marape , who urged Papua New Guinea 's men @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But too many of the nation 's women would have been able to empathise with what they saw in the video .
As many as two-thirds have experienced domestic violence , according to one study by the UN .
Ms Kaore started seeing Mr Oa just over a year ago .
The first attack happened when she was about two months pregnant , she told the BBC .
`` And from then on he continued to verbally , mentally and emotionally abuse me , '' she said .
`` I was psychologically @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , she posted a video on the app TikTok .
It was a response to a video posted by her sister 's ex-boyfriend , creating a duet which showed the two in split-screen - a feature of the app .
Happy with the result , she shared it via her Whatsapp status .
She told the BBC that Mr Oa saw it while out having drinks , and returned home shortly after .
`` I saw him parking the car across the road , and noticed that he looked uneasy , '' Ms @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , walked up to me and asked for my phone so he could send an email .
So I gave it to him , and he went into our room and viewed my WhatsApp video again . ''
She said he called her into the room and started questioning her about the video .
`` But as I started showing him my phone , he punched me down and picked up the iron , '' she said .
Mr Oa burned her across the face and stomach with the iron , she said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to see her Facebook account .
Her two sons from a previous relationship , both younger than 10 , saw the attack .
She managed to escape through a back door and call her father , who picked her up and took her to hospital .
`` I got burned by an iron and then hit by it while our children watched , '' she wrote on social media afterwards .
`` A victim to Lt. Murry Oa … I am putting this out here cause this has gone too far .
I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be another victim after me . ''
With Mr Kaore 's permission , one of her friends posted footage of the attack online the following day .
It went viral , forcing to the surface conversations about the country 's widespread domestic violence problem .
Mr Oa was arrested and charged with grievous bodily harm .
He has yet to comment on the incident .
The prime minister , among other high profile figures , released statements condemning not just Debbie 's attacker but domestic abuse in general .
Papua New Guinea 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out in support of Debbie too .
But what happened to her was not a one off .
In 2016 , the charity Human Rights Watch called Papua New Guinea one of the most dangerous countries in the world for women and girls .
The violence is so systemic that many women do n't seek help until it 's too late , said Kate Schuetze , Pacific researcher at Amnesty International .
`` It becomes so normalised in society and in culture that people do n't think to get help when they experience @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
`` The day-to-day levels of violence are extremely high .
Often only once a woman needs serious medical help will they seek help or try to escape that relationship . ''
For people outside Papua New Guinea 's cities , there barriers to seeking help are particularly high .
About 80 % of the country 's population lives in rural areas with little access to emergency or other supportive services .
One woman was forced to walk for five days from a rural part of the country 's Highlands to reach hospital @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Schuetze said .
`` There are a lot of rural areas around there that do n't have good transport infrastructure , which is why she had to walk .
But she said to me that if she had n't gotten out of that situation , she would n't have lived . ''
Women facing domestic abuse are also trapped by financial obstacles .
In parts of Papua New Guinea , significant sums of money - known as a `` bride price '' - are paid to a groom by the bride 's family @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a woman escapes , her family will be expected to repay the sum to her husband .
And widespread drug and alcohol abuse among men was also a part of the problem , said Professor Judy Atkinson , the founder of We Al-li , a group which works with indigenous communities in Australia and Papua New Guinea .
`` It 's a major problem in the community , '' she said .
`` They 're being marketed on the streets in Papua New Guinea - and that creates violence , and leads to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2013 , Papua New Guinea passed the Family Protection Act , criminalising domestic violence and allowing victims to obtain protection orders .
It became law four years later , but enforcement remains `` weak and inconsistent '' , according to Human Rights Watch .
Complaints of intimate partner violence are often not taken seriously by the police , or the officers involved lack the training to deal with the case effectively and sensitively , said Ms Schuetze .
Papua New Guinea 's police force is relatively small , and a lack of legal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ many to seek justice through the courts .
A 2019 report by the charity said police and prosecutors `` rarely pursued investigations or criminal charges against people who commit family violence - even in cases of attempted murder , serious injury , or repeated rape - and instead prefer to resolve such cases through mediation and/or payment of compensation '' .
Ms Kaore said she hoped the unusually high level of coverage prompted by her assault last week would hasten change .
`` I 'm thankful for the love and support I 'm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Knowing I 'm not alone in this means so much to me and my family , '' she said .
`` I can only hope things will change after this .
I hope to see that people can be educated properly and learn to respect one another , and change their mindsets . ''

"I saw him parking the car across the road, and noticed that he looked uneasy," Ms Kaore recalled. "He came in, walked up to me and asked for my phone so he could send an email. So I gave it to him, and he went into our room and viewed my WhatsApp video again."


bbc--2020-06-19--Coronavirus: 'Deadly masks' claims debunked

This week , face masks became mandatory on public transport in England , and changes to the use of face coverings in hospitals were introduced .
The BBC 's anti-disinformation team has been investigating misleading claims about the health risks of face masks .
Here is a look at some of the most widely seen examples on social media .
Most people wo n't find masks very comfortable , but this article is looking at claims that wearing them is actually dangerous .
A diagram taken from Wikipedia showing the `` symptoms of carbon dioxide toxicity '' has been re-edited @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The modified version claims that wearing a mask leads to `` re-breathing your exhaled CO2 '' .
People have attached the image to comments under BBC News articles about the new rules .
• NHS trusts 'not consulted ' over face mask changes We 've seen lots of posts alerting people to this potentially harmful side-effect - called hypercapnia - where there 's too much carbon dioxide in the blood .
But it 's highly unlikely you 'll suffer it wearing a cloth or gauze face mask .
`` This simply wo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fit and you rebreathe your air , '' says Prof Keith Neal , an infectious disease expert .
Carbon dioxide molecules are tiny - far smaller than droplets containing coronavirus which the masks are designed to stop - and wo n't be trapped by a breathable material , particularly during relatively short periods like a bus journey .
When you breathe out , the carbon dioxide will go through and round the mask .
Surgeons regularly wear much heavier-duty face coverings all day without coming to harm .
`` There have been reports @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wearing personal protective equipment for long periods of time , but it 's still highly unlikely they would suffer from some of the more extreme effects of carbon dioxide toxicity , '' says Rachel Schraer , BBC Health reporter .
The World Health Organization ( WHO ) says masks could provide `` a barrier for potentially infectious droplets '' in areas where `` physical distancing of at least one metre is not possible '' .
Home-made cloth face coverings can help reduce the spread from people who are contagious but have no symptoms @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Read more from the BBC 's Michelle Roberts on why we 're asked to wear masks in some settings .
`` I would rather die of coronavirus than wear a mask '' The question of whether or not to wear a mask has been polarising opinion in the United States for weeks .
Some states and local governments have legislated to make wearing face coverings in public places compulsory , and some stores have introduced their own policies requiring shoppers to wear masks .
This has led to a debate online about civil @ @ @ @ @ @ @ video full of false claims about coronavirus , included an assertion that wearing a mask `` literally activates your own virus '' , when there is no evidence to support this claim .
This led to Facebook removing the video from its platform when it went viral in May .
Former professional baseball player Aubrey Huff this week vented his anger about being required to wear a mask , in a video on Twitter , which was viewed 1.6 million times .
In it , he claims : `` It 's not healthy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the time '' , but as we 've seen there 's no evidence that wearing a face covering causes you to breathe in more CO2 .
He concludes : `` I would rather die from coronavirus than to live the rest of my life in fear and wearing a damn mask '' .
Opponents of mandatory mask legislation are protesting against lawmakers ' decisions .
Last week , the LA Times reported that a public health official resigned from her role after mandating masks in public places in Orange County , California .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hitler moustache and swastikas , and she was on the receiving end of what was interpreted as a death threat .
Some people who dispute the need for masks claim the pandemic is either a hoax or exaggerated , despite the hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide .
A meme that has been widely shared on US Facebook groups since mid-May asks why we are distancing , if masks work .
The easy answer is that neither method gives the population full protection , but having both can help limit the spread of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on to conclude ; `` Because it 's not about the virus .
It never was . ''
However , new requirements to wear masks are certainly related to the coronavirus pandemic and efforts to stop the spread of the virus .
One example of the meme from a conservative Latino Facebook page has been shared 26,000 times .
Another theme in misleading posts surrounding the use of masks is that they limit the amount of oxygen getting into the body .
One graphic titled `` danger of a face mask '' says @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But the breathable materials recommended for face masks worn properly wo n't inhibit your breathing .
Breathlessness is a sign that your body is deprived of oxygen - known as hypoxia .
`` Thin paper or cloth masks will not lead to hypoxia .
Surgeons operate for hours wearing them .
They do n't get these problems , '' says Prof Neal .
The WHO says : `` The prolonged use of medical masks when properly worn , does not cause CO2 intoxication nor oxygen deficiency .
`` While wearing a medical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and that it is tight enough to allow you to breathe normally .
Do not re-use a disposable mask and always change it as soon as it gets damp . ''
These oxygen-depleting claims have appeared in many different languages : English , German , Serbian and Hebrew Facebook posts alongside the same stock image of a toddler in a mask .
An article on a Nigerian news site , originally translated from Spanish , carried the claim back in April and has been shared 100,000 times .
There are some situations in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : • children under two whose lungs have n't fully developed • people with respiratory conditions who may struggle to breathe • people should not wear masks when exercising

"While wearing a medical mask, make sure it fits properly and that it is tight enough to allow you to breathe normally. Do not re-use a disposable mask and always change it as soon as it gets damp."


bbc--2020-06-19--'I'm having to survive on a third of what I had'

Kenya Williams does n't know what to do .
For 22 years , she 's worked as a nanny in New York .
But when coronavirus swept through the city in March , her employers asked her to stay home .
At the start , they covered the majority of her salary .
In June , they cut her wages to just $ 200 ( £159 ) a week - less than a third of her usual rate .
Ms Williams is paid off the books , so she ca n't file for unemployment without risking an audit of her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to turn .
`` It 's really hard , '' she says .
`` Do I leave them and find new work ?
Do I find something temporary ? ''
`` I 'm still smiling because that 's all I can do . ''
As lockdowns lift across the US , people are starting to go back to work .
But millions more remain at home , unsure when - or if - they will return .
For America 's 2.2 million domestic workers , the majority of them women of colour , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than 70 % saw their incomes cut or jobs eliminated at the start of the pandemic , according to a survey by the National Domestic Workers Alliance , an organisation that advocates for nannies , housecleaners and home health aides .
With wages that average about $ 12 ( £9.50 ) an hour , few have robust financial cushions .
And because of informal work arrangements or immigration status , many are not eligible for the relief offered by the government .
`` We 're talking about hundreds of thousands of women who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ support , '' says Tatiana Bejar , a New York City-based organiser at Hand-in-Hand , a non-profit that advocates for domestic workers .
Ms Williams prefers to receive her wages under the table because it allows her to qualify for public health insurance rather than face the prohibitively expensive private market .
She still pays taxes on income at the end of the year .
The pandemic has n't changed changed her mind , she says , but it has reminded her of the risks .
`` Our profession , I found out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't matter .
We have to fight so hard for things that other people get easily , '' she says .
`` I would just like to be able to be like , 'Ok , I know I 'll be ok to some extent . ''
The hardship faced by Ms Williams matches global patterns , which show women , minorities and people working in the informal economy have been hit particularly hard by the lockdowns .
In the US , the unemployment rates among Hispanic and black women approached 20 % last @ @ @ @ @ @ @ men .
The uneven economic impact is likely to add `` significantly to existing vulnerabilities and inequalities '' , the International Labor Organization warned this spring .
It called on governments to respond by increasing efforts to extend social protections to those people , like maids and nannies , whose work often occurs beyond the reach of government rules .
• Four out of five jobs affected by virus globally But the response so far does n't bode well for those efforts .
In the US , many shutdown orders did n't think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Official guidance on how to handle return has also been sparse .
Hand-in-Hand , which aims its actions at employers , has urged families to keep nannies at home at full pay , but the official ambiguity means figuring out what to do has often been a fraught family-by-family decision .
`` Just because domestic work continues to be invisible , therefore employers of them were also invisible , '' Ms Bejar says .
Sandra , an undocumented immigrant who has worked as a nanny in New York for 20 years , asked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a construction worker , lost his job .
Her family in Guatemala - her 87-year-old father , daughter and granddaughter - depend on her too .
At first , she commuted by subway , but she grew so worried about infection she started to get physically ill .
Eventually , she raised the issue with her employer , who agreed to pick her up and cover the cost of a taxi for the return trip .
`` Even if I wanted to stay home , I could n't do it , '' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ keep going . ''
Such trade-offs speak to the need for bigger changes , says Haeyoung Yoon , policy director at the National Domestic Workers Alliance .
The group has proposed a national bill , which would grant domestic workers labour protections , such as a right to paid sick days .
But the bill faces long odds .
• Coronavirus : Stories of unemployment fear and hope in the US Currently , the US has no national law requiring paid sick leave - even for workers in the formal sector .
While @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the pandemic , those requirements were temporary .
`` The coronavirus pandemic has really put a spotlight on the structural inequities that workers were already living through , '' Ms Yoon says .
`` We need to really address these issues at a structural level so that workers are able to have access to good wages and good working conditions . ''
`` But just because working people are reminded , does n't mean that our policymakers are going to legislate and change policies to meet the needs , '' she adds .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ change is growing .
Two years ago , she joined the Carroll Garden Nanny Association , an activist group , drawn primarily by the offer of CPR training .
But her interest in wider employment matters has blossomed and she says an uptick in participation in the group 's chats and Zoom calls since the start of the pandemic suggests she 's not alone .
Ms Williams knows much of the new interest reflects the current crisis , and people at home with time on their hands .
`` I only hope that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of normalcy that they stay focused , '' she says .

"Our profession, I found out during this time, we just don't matter. We have to fight so hard for things that other people get easily," she says. "I would just like to be able to be like, 'Ok, I know I'll be ok to some extent."


bbc--2020-06-19--Alicia Keys, LL Cool J and the new wave of protest songs

Warning : Some of the songs featured in this article contain explicit language .
The death of George Floyd has prompted one of the biggest movements against racism since the civil rights era .
Protests were held globally after video footage from Minneapolis showed a white police officer kneeling on Mr Floyd 's neck for almost nine minutes .
The 46-year-old could be heard repeatedly telling the officer , `` I ca n't breathe '' .
Around the world , music became a crucial way for people to express their grief and anger .
Bob Marley 's Get Up , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ On Me soundtracked several protests , while streaming figures for songs that call out police violence soared : from Childish Gambino 's This Is America and Kendrick Lamar 's Alright to NWA 's visceral hip-hop track [ Expletive ] Tha Police .
The latter was also used by hackers to disrupt police scanners in Chicago during the protests .
In a more unifying moment , protestors in Atlanta encouraged the National Guard to join them in performing the Macarena .
As the Black Lives Matter movement continues , the record industry has been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ racial exclusion , and the inequity between black artists and the mainly white executives who profit from their work .
Meanwhile , artists have channelled their frustration and anger into a new wave of protest songs , directly inspired by Mr Floyd 's death and its aftermath .
Here are some of the most striking examples - but please be aware that many of these songs contain explicit language .
Sung from the perspective of a mourning mother whose son has been shot to death , Alicia Keys ' new single was released @ @ @ @ @ @ @ emancipation of enslaved people in the US .
It was originally written in response to the deaths of Mike Brown and Sandra Bland , the former killed by police in Missouri in 2014 , the latter who died in a jail cell in 2015 after Texas police stopped her for a minor traffic violation - but Keys said the message was `` never not going to be relevant '' .
`` Of course there is no perfect way to die , '' she wrote in an Instagram caption , as she premiered the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even make sense but that 's what makes the title so powerful and heartbreaking because so many have died unjustly .
`` We all know none of these innocent lives should have been taken due to the culture of police violence . ''
`` Just by the title , you know that it means something painful , '' said Grammy-nominated R & B artist H.E.R .
as she debuted her new song in a living room concert .
`` These lyrics were kind of easy to write because it came from a conversation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what 's been happening , and the change that we need to see , '' she said before her performance .
`` I think music is powerful when it comes to change and when it comes to healing , and that 's why I wrote this song , to make a mark in history . ''
The sombre , guitar-led song asks : `` What is a gun to a man that surrenders / What 's it gon na take for someone to defend her / If we all agree that we 're @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't we see what 's evil ? ''
H.E.R .
said the track tackles the question that 's been plaguing her over the last few weeks : Why is there so much hate ?
`` My favourite line in the song is , 'How do we cope when we do n't love each other ? '
'' she told TMZ .
`` I think we 're all questioning that now . ''
From the very first bar , you can tell LL Cool J wo n't be holding back .
`` For 400 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ necks , '' he raps .
`` A garden of evil with no seeds of respect '' .
The 52-year-old goes on to ask what would have happened to former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin , had he not been filmed by bystanders during Mr Floyd 's fatal arrest .
`` Watching that man die slow left a hole , '' he says , `` If it was n't for them phones , Chauvin would be at home / Feeling justified because of George skin tone / I 'm telling those with melanin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Minneapolis artist Dua Saleh originally wrote Body Cast in response to the deaths of Jamar Clark and Philando Castile , who were fatally shot by police in separate incidents in 2015 and 2016 .
`` Unfortunately , I could have written the song at any point in my life and it would have been relevant , which is frightening to say the least , '' they told the Switched On Pop podcast .
The intro samples clips of Angela Whitehead , a woman from Montana who went viral last year when she rebuked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ without a warrant or viable cause .
Saleh later references the stand-off in her lyrics , singing : `` You must be crazy , coming up in here talking about you heard something / You heard me talking , I talk loud and I 'm aggressive and guess what ?
/ You did not knock on my door . ''
`` I just do n't trust police officers in general , '' the singer said .
`` I was just like disgusted at the thought that policing was a safe and viable option @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the song 's download are being donated to the Minneapolis-based organisation , Black Visions Collective .
`` Someone asked , how do I feel ? ''
Terrace Martin wrote , as he introduced his response to George Floyd 's death .
`` I told them hurt , fearless , angry , aware and fully ready to protect me , my family and my people at all cost .
I got together with black men that felt the same way and created a work of truth . ''
The result is Pig Feet - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and hip-hop , where Kamasi Washington 's fidgety saxophone emphasises lyrics about structural racism and police brutality .
It was first released on YouTube , accompanied by a video compiling clips from recent Black Lives Matter protests , followed by a list of victims of police violence that scroll silently up the screen .
Twelve-year-old Keedron Bryant gave voice to the feelings of thousands when he uploaded a simple , a capella performance of the original song I Just Wan na Live to Instagram three weeks ago .
`` I 'm a young @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can / To stand , oh but when I look around / And I see what 's being done to my kind/ Every day , I 'm being hunted as prey , '' he sang , looking directly into the camera .
His performance , and the directness of the lyrics , written by his mother , won praise from Barack Obama , LeBron James , Janet Jackson and Katy Perry , who reposted the song to her followers with the message # BLACKLIVESMATTER .

Pogba shows Solskjaer his class
The introduction of Paul Pogba in the second half swung the balance of play in Manchester United's favour
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer kept faith with the side that went 11 games unbeaten in all competitions as their season restarted here in north London - which meant no place for Pogba, despite his recovery from injury.
It was no surprise, however, when he was called into action just after the hour to inject some zest into what had been a lifeless United performance up to that point.
Pogba was right in the fray, having a shot instantly - but he made his most significant contribution when he tricked Dier in the area and drew a foul from the Spurs defender to win that point-saving penalty.
It was a timely reminder to Solskjaer, should he even need one, of the rare talent he has at his disposal if Pogba could only show consistency and put the speculation about his future behind him.
De Gea did not have such a good night. There were already questions about his form before this game and he produced another error here - all with Dean Henderson's reputation growing in his loan spell at Sheffield United.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes Manchester United "deserved a win"
Frustration for Mourinho
Spurs will be bitterly disappointed to concede a goal so late on, and in such needless fashion, although it could have been worse when referee Moss erroneously awarded that second penalty - before VAR put matters right.
Lloris had produced that outstanding save from Martial but Spurs were hardly under siege and manager Jose Mourinho, who stalked the touchline in fury when United were originally awarded that injury-time penalty, will feel an important two points have been cast aside.
Mourinho will take some solace in the return of Harry Kane after hamstring surgery and Son after he broke his arm, as well as goalscorer Bergwijn.
Spurs, however, need wins, and this result leaves them in eighth place, six points behind fourth-placed Chelsea in the chase for Champions League places.
Man of the Match - Bruno Fernandes
Bruno Fernandes has been directly involved in six Premier League goals (three goals, three assists) since his debut in February - two more than any other player in that time
'A strange penalty'
Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho, speaking to BBC Radio 5 live: "I think difficult to find the word, I have to try to find a nice word - a strange penalty because the team was so compact, so well organised.
"The players did fantastic work defensively - they had two dangerous shots that Hugo Lloris saved and nothing else. Everything else was under control. I have to admit for the last 15 minutes I would love to have had Lucas Moura here, Dele Alli here. The last 15 minutes were difficult for us.
"Lucas and Dele are players we need and we could feel that today. when you look to their bench and then to ours the difference in attacking options. Hopefully they will be back for West Ham because in this moment it is very, very important to change players.
Jose Mourinho disputes Man Utd penalty
On the penalty for Manchester United: "Paul Pogba did his job. That is it. I think Jonathan Moss was also trying to do his job the best he could. I think the VAR is a different situation."
Manchester United on the spot again - the stats
Manchester United are unbeaten in 12 games in all competitions (W8 D4), scoring 30 goals and conceding just three in that run.
Steven Bergwijn became only the second player to score in his first three home Premier League appearances for Spurs, after Rafael van der Vaart in 2010.
Since the start of last season, Manchester United have both taken (23) and scored (16) more penalties than any other Premier League side.
Only Trent Alexander-Arnold (14) has more assists among Premier League defenders in all competitions than Spurs full-back Serge Aurier this season (eight).
Jose Mourinho has won none of his past six matches against his former clubs in all competitions (D2 L4), taking just one point from four Premier League matches against Chelsea and Man Utd this season (D1 L3).
Spurs are winless in seven games in all competitions (D3 L4), their worst run since November 2016 (also seven without a win).
What next?
Tottenham host West Ham in the Premier League on Tuesday, 23 June (20:15 BST) while Manchester United are at home to Sheffield United on Wednesday, 24 June (18:00 BST).

`` It 's satisfying knowing I 'm not nearly as long as some of these guys and I 'm able to use my skills of distance control and shot shape to pick me back up when I 'm 40 yards or 30 yards behind these guys , '' said Simpson .
DeChambeau , who created headlines at last week 's Charles Schwab Challenge with his bulked up frame and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ eight holes as he posted a 64 but he missed a five-foot birdie putt on his last hole.. '' I still have n't figured out something with my putting , '' said DeChambeau .
The RBC Heritage is the second PGA Tour tournament since golf restarted after a three-month hiatus caused by the coronavirus pandemic and California-born Watney is the first to test positive following its return .
Watney played with fellow Americans Vaughn Taylor and Luke List in the first round .
Both were told during Friday 's round .
`` I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , who shot a 69 to move to six under , told Golf Digest .
`` Heart started racing , got a little nervous .

RBC Heritage, round two leaderboard -12 W Simpson (US); -11 B DeChambeau (US), C Connors (Can); -10 R Palmer (US), M Fitzpatrick (Eng) Selected: -9 B Koepka (US), I Poulter (Eng); -8 D Johnson (US); -5 J Rose (Eng), R McIlroy (NI),
American Nick Watney has withdrawn from the RBC Heritage after testing positive for coronavirus before round two.
Watney, 39, delivered a negative test before the tournament and shot a three-over-par 74 in the first round.
However, a PGA statement said that "prior to arriving at the tournament" on Friday, Watney "indicated he had symptoms consistent with the illness".
American Webb Simpson shot a six-under 65 to lead on 12 under, with England's Matt Fitzpatrick two back after a 66.
Fitzpatrick, whose round was interrupted by a weather delay when he was on the 16th, finished birdie, bogey, birdie to jump above fellow Englishman Ian Poulter, the joint overnight leader, who had four birdies in his final five holes as he posted a two-under 69 to improve to nine under.
Simpson, the 2012 US Open champion, leads fellow American Bryson DeChambeau and Canada's Corey Connors, who shot a bogey-free eight-under 63, by one shot.
"It's satisfying knowing I'm not nearly as long as some of these guys and I'm able to use my skills of distance control and shot shape to pick me back up when I'm 40 yards behind these guys," said Simpson who played with DeChambeau in the first two rounds.
DeChambeau, who created headlines at last week's Charles Schwab Challenge with his bulked up frame and driving average of 345 yards in round one, had six birdies in eight holes as he posted a 64.
However, the difference in their approach was neatly summed up on the ninth - their final hole of the round. Simpson drove his ball 220 yards into the fairway, while DeChambeau blasted his tee shot 308 yards into a greenside bunker.
Simpson hit a wedge from 115 yards to six feet and holed the birdie putt while DeChambeau, who was 25 yards from the hole, splashed out to five feet but missed the putt.
"I still haven't figured out something with my putting," said DeChambeau. "If I tighten that dispersion with putting, I'd be a couple more up there."
The RBC Heritage is the second PGA Tour tournament since golf restarted after a three-month hiatus caused by the coronavirus pandemic and California-born Watney is the first to test positive following its return.
Watney played with fellow Americans Vaughn Taylor and Luke List in the first round. Both were told during Friday's second round.
"I was a little shocked," Taylor, who shot a 69 to move to six under, told Golf Digest. "My heart started racing and I got a little nervous. I just hope Nick's doing well and we get through this."
List, who missed the cut after his two-over 73 dropped him back to level par overall, said he would rather have been told after his round. "It was hard to concentrate, just thinking about different stuff, and I wasn't playing my best anyway," he added.
"For the health and well-being of all associated with the tournament and those within the community, the tour has begun implementing its response plan in consultation with medical experts including working with those who may have had close contact with Nick," added the PGA.
World number one Rory McIlroy was briefly on the practice putting green with Watney. The Northern Irishman went on to post a six-under 65 to beat the cut by one shot on five under par.
"Nick texted me actually because we had a chat on the putting green before I went out to play, but we were at a distance. He was just saying 'look, I hope I didn't get too close to you'," said McIlroy.
"He feels badly that he was here at the golf course. I said 'it's fine, you never know. If I was in your position, I probably would have been here too. Look, at this point, you just have to concentrate on getting better and getting healthy'.
"But it sucks for him especially. You know, if you contract it, that's fine, but then it's the fact that who have you come into contact with, and who you might have exposed and stuff."

When the Premier League kicked off in August, Ings was in top form for Southampton, netting 10 goals in his first 15 starts following a £20m move from Liverpool last summer.
But before the league was suspended, he had scored just once in seven games.
The break seemed to give him a boost because Ings came back looking sharp from the off.

Goalkeeper David de Gea and Harry Maguire were both easily beaten by Steven Bergwijn
Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane said he is "sick to death" of David de Gea - and that the goalkeeper and captain Harry Maguire should be made to get a taxi back from Tottenham.
Keane, who won seven Premier League titles with United, ranted at half-time after Steven Bergwijn ran past Maguire and fired through De Gea to score.
"I wouldn't even let them on the bus after the match," he told Sky Sports.
"Get a taxi back to Manchester. They should hang their heads in shame."
Bergwijn easily beat England international Maguire for pace, and De Gea could not hold his powerful shot as Jose Mourinho's side took a half-time lead over his former club in Friday's Premier League match, which ended 1-1.
De Gea has made the joint-highest number of errors leading to a goal of any goalkeeper in the Premier League since August 2018 - seven - though Bergwijn's goal was not recorded as one.
Maguire, who United signed from Leicester for £80m last August, has not officially made an error leading to a goal this season.
"I'm shocked. I'm shocked at that goal," Keane said at the interval.
"I've watched a lot of football over the years and to give away that goal... I'm fuming.
"I can't believe that's Manchester United. Luke Shaw, heading the ball up in the air and then running forward... I am staggered at Maguire, how an international player can just get done like that - and I am sick to death of this goalkeeper.

When asked about Keane's comments, Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replied: "Roy was a fantastic midfielder, a good friend of mine. I am not sure he would have stopped it."
'United have to make a goalkeeping decision'
Bruno Fernandes' second-half penalty earned United a point and reduced Keane's rage to a simmer.
"I'd maybe let them on the bus but make them sit down at the back," he said.
De Gea, 29, signed a new contract to stay with the club until 2023 last September but former Middlesbrough, Fulham, Chelsea and Leicester goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer believes his position could be under threat.
Dean Henderson, 23, has been outstanding on loan at Sheffield United for the past two seasons.
Will Dean Henderson be back at Manchester United next season?
"Over the past 18 months David de Gea has made a considerable amount of mistakes and that's not expected from a keeper at that level," Schwarzer told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"The demand for success is so high, and his standards haven't been at that level for some time.
"For a top, world-class keeper, the maximum number of mistakes leading to a goal shouldn't be more than two a season and he's clearly made more than that.
"It will come to a head, when you've got Dean Henderson playing so well at Sheffield United and he's made it clear he won't sit on the bench.
"Manchester United are going to make a decision, is Henderson good enough to take the number one shirt at United?

US Attorney Geoffrey Berman denies he is stepping down Published 20 June 2020

A top federal prosecutor has issued a statement saying he has not resigned, despite the US justice department announcing he was stepping down.
Geoffrey Berman, the US Attorney in Manhattan, said he learned he was "stepping down" in a press release issued by US Attorney-General William Barr on Friday evening.
Mr Barr gave no reason for the move.
He said Securities and Exchange Commission chairman Jay Clayton would be nominated to succeed Mr Berman.
Mr Berman has overseen the prosecution of a number of US President Donald Trump's associates since he took office in 2018.
They include President Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen, who has served a prison sentence for lying to Congress, the US legislature, and election campaign finance fraud. Mr Berman's department has also been investigating the conduct of Rudy Giuliani, Mr Trump's current personal lawyer.
He is also leading the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and who earlier this month accused Prince Andrew of "shutting the door" on his probe.
In his statement, Mr Berman said had "no intention of resigning", adding he would only step down when a successor had been confirmed by Congress.

Mr Berman was appointed to his position by a court, making it unclear whether President Trump has the legal authority to remove him, BBC North America correspondent Anthony Zurcher says.
Senior Democrats have accused Mr Barr of politicising the US Justice Department and making legal decisions at the behest of President Trump.
The row comes days after former National Security Adviser John Bolton said in a book that President Trump had pressed Mr Berman's office to halt an investigation into the Turkish Halkbank in a bid to make a deal with Turkey's president.
What did Mr Barr say in his press release?
In his statement, Mr Barr - a close ally of the president - said Mr Berman was "stepping down" after two-and-a-half years in the post.
Mr Barr said Mr Berman had "done an excellent job", achieving "many successes on consequential civil and criminal matters", but gave no explanation for his resignation.
Mr Trump intended to nominate Mr Clayton, a man who has never served as a federal prosecutor, as Mr Berman's successor, Mr Barr said.

Mr Clayton's "management experience and expertise in financial regulation give him an ideal background" to lead the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, Mr Barr said.
The US attorney in New Jersey, Craig Carpenito, will serve as acting head of the office until Mr Clayton has been confirmed.
What did Mr Berman say?
In his statement, Mr Berman said: "I learned in a press release from the Attorney General tonight that I was 'stepping down' as United States Attorney. I have not resigned, and have no intention of resigning, my position."
He said judges for the Southern District of New York appointed him to the role, and would only step down when a presidentially appointed nominee was confirmed by the Senate.
Mr Berman added: "Until then, our investigations will move forward without delay or interruption. I cherish every day that I work with the men and women of this office to pursue justice without fear or favour - and intend to ensure that this office's important cases continue unimpeded."
Who is Mr Berman and what other investigations has he been involved in?
Mr Berman, 60, was appointed in January 2018 after Mr Trump fired his predecessor, Preet Bharara, who had refused to resign.
Mr Berman is a long-time Republican donor, including to Mr Trump's presidential campaign.
He is reportedly investigating the business dealings of President Trump's personal lawyer, Mr Giuliani, who used to work for the same law firm as Mr Berman.
Mr Berman is also the prosecutor in charge of the investigation into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and has previously expressed frustration over the Duke of York's role in the inquiry.
Earlier this month, Mr Berman said Prince Andrew - a former friend of Epstein - had "repeatedly declined our request" to schedule an interview. The duke's lawyers reject claims he has not co-operated.
Top prosecutor may be latest target of Trump's wrath
Geoffrey Berman is not going quietly.
Attorney-General Barr may have thought replacing a top US prosecutor would be a smooth process. But Mr Berman - by refusing to resign - has shown he has other ideas.
Mr Berman also may have the law on his side, as this particular US attorney was appointed to his position by a court, not the president, making it unclear whether President Trump has the legal authority to remove him. A court may have to sort this out, too, creating a procedural headache the White House surely hoped to avoid.
Looming over all of this is the question of why the president, and his attorney general, felt compelled to do this now, just five months before election day. The suddenness of the dismissal, coupled with the fact that Mr Berman is overseeing an investigation into the president's personal lawyer, Mr Giuliani, amid other corruption inquiries are already prompting accusations of impropriety.
In the months since being acquitted in his impeachment trial, Trump has removed a number of government officials for apparently insufficient loyalty. Mr Berman may be the latest target - albeit a stubborn one.

bbc--2020-06-20--Galwan Valley: China accuses India of 'deliberate provocation'

China has accused Indian troops of a `` deliberate provocation '' in its first official comments on Monday 's deadly clash at a disputed Himalayan border .
Foreign ministry spokesman Lijian Zhao said the troops had crossed into Chinese territory and attacked , triggering `` fierce physical conflicts '' .
However he did not give details of any Chinese casualties .
On Friday Indian PM Narendra Modi said no foreign soldiers had crossed India 's borders and no territory had been lost .
Mr Modi vowed that India would defend its border with military force if necessary .
• The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ border clash Twenty Indian soldiers were killed in the clash in the Galwan Valley .
India has said that both sides suffered losses during the fighting .
What is China 's version of events ?
In a series of tweets , Mr Zhao said the Galwan Valley was on the Chinese side of the Line of Actual Control ( LAC ) , the poorly demarcated border between the two nuclear-armed powers .
He said the clash occurred at a time when tension had been easing after India demolished infrastructure it had built on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ May and withdrew personnel , following an agreement between Chinese and Indian officers .
But on 15 June Indian troops `` once again crossed the Line of Actual Control for deliberate provocation when the situation in the Galwan Valley was already easing '' , Mr Zhao said .
`` India 's front-line troops even violently attacked the Chinese officers and soldiers who went there for negotiation , thus triggering fierce physical conflicts and causing casualties , '' he said .
India has been building `` roads , bridges and other facilities '' at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Mr Zhao said .
What did PM Modi say about it ?
In a televised statement on Friday , Mr Modi said there had been no incursion into Indian territory .
`` Nobody has intruded into our border , neither is anybody there now , nor have our posts been captured , '' he said .
India 's armed forces had been `` given a free hand to take all necessary steps '' to protect Indian territory , he added .
`` The entire country is hurt and angry at the steps @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , adding : `` India wants peace and friendship , but upholding sovereignty is foremost . ''
His government had previously blamed China for the clash , with the foreign ministry releasing a statement on Wednesday saying it had been sparked after `` the Chinese side sought to erect a structure in Galwan valley on our side of the LAC '' .
What happened in the Galwan Valley ?
Media reports said troops clashed on ridges at a height of nearly 4,300m ( 14,000 ft ) on steep terrain , with some soldiers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sub-zero temperatures .
At least 76 Indian soldiers were reportedly injured in addition to the 20 dead .
China has not released any information about Chinese casualties .
The fighting took place without any firearms because of a 1996 agreement barring guns and explosives from the area .
An image that emerged on Thursday purportedly showed some of the crude weapons used in the fight .
The photograph , which appears to show iron rods studded with nails , was passed to the BBC by a senior Indian military official on the India-China @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been used by the Chinese .
The image was widely shared on Twitter in India , prompting outrage from many social media users .
Neither Chinese or Indian officials have commented on it .
Why were there no guns ?
The Galwan river valley in Ladakh , with its harsh climate and high-altitude terrain , is close to Aksai Chin , a disputed area claimed by India but controlled by China .
This is not the first time the two nuclear-armed neighbours have fought without conventional firearms on the border .
India and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ overlapping territorial claims along the more than 3,440km ( 2,100 mile ) , poorly drawn LAC separating the two sides .
The last firing on the border happened in 1975 when four Indian soldiers were killed in a remote pass in the north-eastern state of Arunachal Pradesh .
The clash was variously described by former diplomats as an ambush and an accident .
But no bullets have been fired since .
At the root of this is a 1996 bilateral agreement that says `` neither side shall open fire ... conduct blast operations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two kilometres of the Line of Actual Control '' .
But there have been other tense confrontations along the border in recent weeks .
In May Indian and Chinese soldiers exchanged physical blows on the border at Pangong Lake , also in Ladakh , and in the north-eastern Indian state of Sikkim hundreds of miles to the east .
India has accused China of sending thousands of troops into the Galwan Valley and says China occupies 38,000 sq km ( 14,700 sq miles ) of its territory .

bbc--2020-06-20--Greta Thunberg: Climate change 'as urgent' as coronavirus

Greta Thunberg says the world needs to learn the lessons of coronavirus and treat climate change with similar urgency .
That means the world acting `` with necessary force '' , the Swedish climate activist says in an exclusive interview with BBC News .
She does n't think any `` green recovery plan '' will solve the crisis alone .
And she says the world is now passing a `` social tipping point '' on climate and issues such as Black Lives Matter .
`` People are starting to realise that we can not keep looking away from these things @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we can not keep sweeping these injustices under the carpet '' .
She says lockdown has given her time to relax and reflect away from the public gaze .
Ms Thunberg has shared with the BBC the text of a deeply personal programme she has made for Swedish Radio .
In the radio programme , which goes online this morning , Greta looks back on the year in which she became one of the world 's most high-profile celebrities .
The then 16-year-old took a sabbatical from school to spend a tumultuous year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ does Greta Thunberg want ?
• We ca n't all be Greta , but your actions have a ripple effect She sailed across the Atlantic on a racing yacht to address a special UN Climate Action summit in New York in September .
She describes world leaders queuing to get pictures with her , with Angela Merkel asking whether it was okay to post her photo on social media .
The climate campaigner is sceptical of their motives .
`` Perhaps it makes them forget the shame of their generation letting all future @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` I guess maybe it helps them to sleep at night . ''
It was in the UN that she delivered her famous `` how dare you '' speech .
`` You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words '' , she told the world leaders gathered in the UN Assembly .
She appeared on the verge of tears as she continued .
`` People are dying , '' she said , `` and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ it was a `` lifetime moment '' and decided not to hold anything back , she says now .
`` I am going to let my emotions take control and to really make something big out of this because I wo n't be able to do this again '' .
She describes travelling back from the UN to her hotel on the subway and seeing people watching the speech on their phones , but says she felt no urge to celebrate .
`` All that is left are empty words '' , she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cynicism about the motives of most world leaders .
`` The level of knowledge and understanding even among people in power is very , very low , much lower than you would think , '' she told the BBC .
She says the only way to reduce emissions on the scale that is necessary is to make fundamental changes to our lifestyles , starting in developed countries .
But she does n't believe any leaders have the nerve to do that .
Instead , she says , they `` simply refrain from reporting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ else '' .
She claims the UK , Sweden and other countries do this by failing to account for the emissions from ships and aircraft and by choosing not to count the emissions from goods produced in factories abroad .
As a result , she says in her radio programme , the whole language of debate has been degraded .
`` Words like green , sustainable , 'net-zero ' , 'environmentally friendly ' , 'organic ' , 'climate-neutral ' and 'fossil-free ' are today so misused and watered down that they have pretty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can imply everything from deforestation to aviation , meat and car industries , '' she said .
Ms Thunberg says the only positive that could come out of the coronavirus pandemic would be if it changes how we deal with global crises : `` It shows that in a crisis , you act , and you act with necessary force . ''
She says she is encouraged that politicians are now stressing the importance of listening to scientists and experts .
`` Suddenly people in power are saying they will do whatever it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ price on human life . ''
She hopes that will open up a discussion about the urgency of taking action to help the people who die from illnesses related to climate change and environmental degradation right now as well as in the future .
But she remains deeply pessimistic about our ability to keep any temperature increases within safe boundaries .
She says that , even if countries actually deliver the carbon reductions they 've promised , we 'll still be heading for a `` catastrophic '' global temperature rise of 3-4 degrees @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to avoid a climate crisis is to tear up contracts and abandon existing deals and agreements that companies and countries have signed up to .
`` The climate and ecological crisis can not be solved within today 's political and economic systems '' , the Swedish climate activist argues .
`` That is n't an opinion .
That 's a fact . ''
Thunberg talks movingly of a road-trip she and her father took through North America in an electric car borrowed from Arnold Schwarzenegger , the Hollywood actor turned politician and climate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Paradise , the Californian town destroyed by a wildfire in November 2018 .
She is shocked by the carbon-intensive lifestyles she saw in the US .
`` Apart from a few wind power plants and solar panels , '' she says , `` there are no signs whatsoever of any sustainable transition , despite this being the richest country in the world . ''
But the social inequities struck her just as forcefully .
`` It was very shocking to hear people talk about that they ca n't afford to put food @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Yet Greta Thunberg says she has been inspired by the way people have been responding to these injustices , particularly the Black Lives Matter protests following the death of George Floyd in May .
She believes society has `` passed a social tipping point , we can no longer look away from what our society has been ignoring for so long whether it is equality , justice or sustainability '' .
She describes signs of what she calls an `` awakening '' in which `` people are starting to find their voice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can actually have an impact '' .
That is why Greta Thunberg says she still has hope .
`` Humanity has not yet failed '' , she argues .
She concludes her radio documentary in powerful form .
`` Nature does not bargain and you can not compromise with the laws of physics , '' the teenager asserts .
`` Doing our best is no longer good enough .
We must now do the seemingly impossible .
And that is up to you and me .
Because no one else will do it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Justin Rowlatt 's interview with Greta Thunberg will be available next week .

bbc--2020-06-20--Climate change: Sport heading for a fall as temperatures rise

Global sport faces major disruption from climate change in coming decades , according to a new analysis .
By 2050 , it 's estimated that almost one in four English football league grounds can expect flooding every year .
But tennis , rugby , athletics and winter sports will also face serious challenges from the impacts of rising temperatures , the author says .
The study finds that sports leaders are , in the main , failing to address the issue seriously .
While the Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted sports as much as any other aspect of social life , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a dress rehearsal for the long-term impacts on sport of a world that 's way too hot .
Extreme weather events , related to rising temperatures , have already disrupted some of the world 's most high-profile sports in recent years .
A typhoon , which wreaked havoc in Japan last year , also affected fixtures at the Rugby Union World being held there .
Smoke from bush fires stopped play at the Australian Tennis Open at the start of this year .
These and many other instances are a foretaste of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ compiled by academic and author David Goldblatt .
As football slowly recovers from the coronavirus crisis , his analysis shows that 23 of 92 English football league clubs will face partial or total annual flooding of their stadiums by 2050 .
In the current Premier League , the home grounds of Southampton , Norwich , Chelsea and West Ham face a similar threat .
Cricket faces huge challenges globally as temperatures rise in places like India , Australia and the West Indies .
Venues in Adelaide and Perth will see a 60 % @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over the next decade .
In golf , one in three British Open courses will be damaged by rising sea-levels , the report says .
Researchers say that of the 19 venues that have already hosted the Winter Olympics , just 10 will be able to hold them by 2050 .
But as well as showing the likely impacts of climate change on sports , the new study also looks at the contribution that the sporting industry makes to carbon emissions .
The author says that the scale of CO2 is equivalent to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ end but as large as a country like Spain on the high end .
The estimations are likely an underestimate as they exclude the global sportswear and sports broadcasting industries , who have impacts on carbon that are difficult to calculate .
Whatever the size of its carbon footprint , the cultural significance of sport gives it a tremendous platform to effect change , says the author .
`` Sport may be just big enough to register , in terms of carbon emissions , as a small nation state , or a single @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just a fraction of a percentage point of the world total , '' said David Goldblatt .
`` Making a carbon zero world the common sense priority of the sports world would make a huge contribution to making it the common sense priority of all politics , '' he said .
While some organisations including the International Olympic Committee and FIFA have signed up to a UN action plan to make sport carbon neutral by 2050 , the majority of sports authorities have not .
The International Cricket Council is one of those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ winter sports , only the ice hockey and skiing federations have joined , `` which makes one wonder what the people in charge of luge and bobsleigh think they are going to be sliding on in the future , '' the report waspishly notes .
The report was commissioned by the Rapid Transition Alliance , a international group of academics and campaigners who argue for a faster response to climate change .
`` A first step would be to bring an end to sponsorship from fossil fuel companies and products promoting fossil fuel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the group .
`` If players also speak out and say they believe clean air and a stable climate matter , millions more will see the possibilities for change .
It will not only send a message of hope for the wider world , but it will help to guarantee a planet that is safe for sport . ''

While the Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted sports as much as any other aspect of social life, many experts believe that this is just a dress rehearsal for the long-term impacts on sport of a world that's way too hot.

Protesters topple statues in US states

What do we do with the UK 's symbols of slavery ?
Protesters across the UK are asking for statues @ @ @ @ @ to be changed or removed .

Juneteenth marks the end of slavery in the United States of America and falls on 19 June.
Events to commemorate the day this year saw hundreds of protesters gather in several states to topple statues associated with slavery.
One was as high as 75-feet tall, and another was set on fire.
