Juneteenth is celebrated on 19 June to commemorate the end of slavery in the US.

Juneteenth is being observed by many African-Americans to mark the emancipation from slavery in the US. We go live to Tulsa, Oklahoma; China has freed 10 Indian soldiers following a deadly clash between the two sides on Monday, according to Indian media reports; and we go to Hungary where a legal ruling has forced a review of the country's asylum policy.
