The US Secretary of State says Washington is committed to rebuild Gaza

The U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in Israel at the start of a Middle East tour to show America's support for the Israel Gaza ceasefire. We hear more from our correspondent in Jerusalem and from people in Israel and Gaza who have been affected by the recent escalation.

Events are being held to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the killing of George Floyd. We ask African-Americans who've fought for racial equality whether the country has changed over the last year.

We also bring you the latest on events in Belarus after the arrest of the dissident journalist Roman Protasevich.

India is still battling a huge wave of Covid infections and deaths. We speak to our regular coronavirus expert Dr Swapneil Parikh about the situation with the outbreak.
