China lays claim to Galwan Valley, blames India for border clash
China accuses Indian soldiers of instigating the fight in the disputed Ladakh region that left 20 Indian soldiers dead.
China says the Galwan Valley where Chinese and Indian troops were engaged in a deadly clash falls entirely within its territory, as Beijing blamed New Delhi for the June 15 military clash at the border that left 20 Indian soldiers dead.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said in a statement on Friday that the Galwan Valley, which is part of the disputed Ladakh region, is located on the Chinese side of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) - the de facto border between the two Asian rivals.
Surfing on Hitler's show grounds: new plan for Berlin's Olympic Park
City considers €150m scheme to turn Nazi-era park into hotspot particularly for new Olympic sports
For Adolf Hitler, the Berlin Olympiapark was a gallery to showcase his taste in art and architecture, the ultimate aesthetic expression of his totalitarian political ambition, and the setting for the propaganda coup of the 1936 Nazi Olympics.

Coronavirus: Brazil becomes second country to pass 1 million cases
Brazil has confirmed more than 1 million coronavirus cases in the country, the second country to record the mammoth figure after the US.

Over 1,200 deaths were recorded for the fourth day in a row, pushing the death toll to nearly 49,000.
Can Syrian sexual violence survivors get justice in Germany?
Sexual violence in Syria's prisons is brutal and widespread. Why does it get little attention? Why do the perpetrators appear to act with impunity? Legal activists are seeking justice in Germany for thousands of victims.
For most women, the horror starts at the moment of arrest. First, the male soldiers touch them inappropriately. On arrival at the prison, they are forced to strip naked. The invasion of their bodies often begins with an aggressive, intimate search by a male guard.
For thousands of female detainees in pro-regime prisons this marks the start of a journey to hell — one that very often ends with them being broken and then ostracized from their families and communities.
Every room in this hotel is booked. But the guests are not allowed to leave
Updated 0108 GMT (0908 HKT) June 20, 2020
Every day, the men unfurl large pleas for help over the balcony railings of their hotel room and stand in silence as traffic roars along the main road of the Australian city they're trapped in.
Their signs are mostly made from bin bags stuck together with tape, and secured to the railing with shoelaces.
"Where is justice?" one reads.
