Black lives in Minnesota
The killing of African American George Floyd by a white policeman in Minnesota led to both peaceful demonstrations and violence across the United States. Emma Sapong is an African American journalist from Minnesota and reports on the yawning gap between the lives of white Minnesotans and their black counterparts.
It's exactly one hundred years since Greater Hungary lost two-thirds of its territory in the Trianon Treaty after the First World War. This loss has left a gaping wound in Hungary, and, together with its violent aftermath, it has been influencing the country to this day, as Nick Thorpe reveals.
The coronavirus epidemic has not hit the Democratic Republic of Congo as hard as it has some other countries, due to measures like the closure of borders. But, as Olivia Acland reports, these have disrupted food imports, and have led to more cases of hunger instead.
The far-eastern Russian island of Sakhalin was part-Japanese during the Second World War, when the Japanese brought in Korean labourers. After the war, the borders shut, and the Koreans were stuck. For some it's still hard to know where home really is, as Will Atkins has found.
In Spain one hotel is preparing for the new tourist season by looking to its past, when it hosted royalty and Hollywood stars. Torremolinos on the Costa del Sol was a quiet, niche destination with a glamour to rival that of St Tropez in the 1960s. Can it ever be like that again, asks Oliver Smith?
