Here in Paris, it is 0-0 in the Euro 2016 final between France and

Portugal. The big headline in the first half is that Ronaldo had to go

off with an injury. It's been three days

since the killings of five Now the Police Chief of the city

says he believes the main suspect This is 25-year-old Mica Johnson,

accused of Thursday's shootings. Police chief David Brown says

the military veteran, appeared to have practised

detonating explosives. Police also

say they are trying to decipher what the letters 'RB' mean -

they were written in blood The killings follow the shootings

of two black men by police officers. The first was this man -

Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge The second - PhilAndo Castile -

in St Paul, Minnesota Their deaths have sparked

nationwide protests. While most have passed off

peacefully, clashes in the states of Louisiana and Minnesota,

where Sterling and Castile were killed, have resulted

in the arrests of almost 200 people. Well, President Obama says

he will visit Dallas on Tuesday. So let's go live to Dallas

where we can speak to our What's and we know about the police

investigation into Mica Johnson? You are right, there have been more

details coming out throughout the day here. Based on an interview that

the police chief here, David Brown, gave to a local news network, the

CNN news network. He said that there was evidence, based on the

scrawlings that they found in Mica Johnson's Journal, and the amount of

making material that was confiscated from his house, that he was planning

a more carefully cut water related attack, a larger attack, one which

chief Brown said could have had a devastating attack on the city. As

part of a macabre footnote to the events of Thursday night, chief

Brown revealed that this man, Mica Johnson, wrote the initials RB on

the walls of the parking Garrard in which he was cornered in his own

blood, on different floors of that building, before he was taken out by

the police. It's been 24 hours of a mixed reactions across the United

States. Some protests, whilst here, things have been peaceful and we've

had nothing but support for the police, borne out by the shrine

behind me that is vested with flowers, toys and messages of

support. Across the country, though, protests and violence, in some

cases. From baton rouge in Louisiana, my colleague Laura Bicker

sent this report. After a week of uneasy tension,

on the streets of Baton Rouge, They arrested dozens of protesters,

leading them away from the crowds. And the leader of the Black

Lives Matter movement was taken into custody

while broadcasting online. They have gathered outside

the police headquarters. It feels quite tense

here at the moment. If your white mother or brother

was shot down with six shots well he was laying on the ground,

I promise you every single private school child, mother,

grandmother would be out here and they would be

there with guns in front of those In Minnesota, 21 police

officers were injured President Obama on a visit to Spain

tried to soothe this raw emotion Whenever those of us

who are concerned about fairness in the criminal justice system

attack police officers, you are Meanwhile in Dallas,

they are trying to heal and remember the five officers killed

by a black activist. Here, they know the gravity

of the situation, but We are at a tipping point,

and we could go either way. So it is important for us,

as a nation, to figure out how we will not miss

this moment. Most protests, like this one,

are peaceful show of strength. But in this climate it is hard

to not to feel that temperatures Mixed reactions that the shooting

The UN Mission in South Sudan says it is outraged by the latest

violence in the capital, Juba.

It involves government soldiers of President Salva Kiir and forces

The UN mission says it is concerned by reports that armed groups

are preventing civilians from seeking protection.

The UN Security council will hold and emergency session later.

Here's BBC Africa editor, Mary Harper.

The military spokesman for South Sudan's Vice President, Riek Machar,

said his forces had gone back to war. He said they had no choice

after President Salva Kiir's troops attacked Riek Machar's residence in

the capital, Juba, in the early hours of Sunday morning. They also

attacked a barracks where his troops are based. There were reports of

hours of heavy fighting, with helicopter gunships attacking from

the air. South Sudan's Minister blamed Riek Machar's troops. At Inge

violence by attacking a checkpoint. He said the situation was now calm.

I call upon our citizens not to panic, but to go back to their

homes, so that they stay there. The situation is normal and is under

full control. United Nations Mission in South Sudan has described the

resumption of violence as outrageous. Both of its compounds in

Juba, where hundreds of displaced people live, have been hit by heavy

weapons fire. It says it is concerned by reports that armed

groups are preventing civilians from seeking protection. The UN

Secretary-General, Ban Ki-Moon, says the violence is senseless and

unacceptable. He has urged Salva Kiir and Riek Machar to urge their

troops to disengage and withdraw to their bases, but South Sudan's

leaders seem impervious to the suffering of their people, and tend

to seek military solutions to the country's many problems. South Sudan

are its fifth anniversary of independence on Saturday, but there

was little to celebrate. Let's take a look at some

other stories now. Japan's governing Liberal Democratic

Editor Jill McGivering. There was tight security

across the Kashmir Valley on Sunday. But again, for a second

day, violence erupted. Police used tear gas,

but also opened fire on protesters. And angry young men

defied restrictions They showed their anger by attacking

checkpoints and pelting Many hospitals are

overwhelmed with casualties. Many of the dead and injured

suffered gunshot wounds. That has raised questions

about the tactics used Especially the decision

of the worst violence Now, there's the little

matter of a football It's the final of Euro 2016

between France and Portugal. Ros Atkins is in the fan zone

by the Eiffel Tower. And what do you make of the match?

It has been a bit scrappy. The French have had the best of it.

Ronaldo was injured in the first half and had to go off. Beyond that,

even Stevens at half-time. Still 0-0 as we go into the second half. We

are getting reports that tear gas was fired, from the other side of

the big screen directly under the Eiffel Tower. We think this was

because a group of young men tried to get into the fan zone after the

authorities decided it was full. This fan zone is massive, that I

have been here all afternoon and it started filling up fast. By 7:30pm,

the authorities decided to shut it. Police started using tear gas on the

frustrated people trying to get in. There have been over 90,000 people

inside the fan zone, and I haven't seen any trouble. Everyone is

getting on very well. This couple are on each side of the match today.

Everyone is quite calm in here, aren't they? I think the French will

win 2-1. Are people calm because they are confident that France are

going to win? It is quite a strange atmosphere, buried pleasant with

lots of fans mixing with each other. -- very pleasant. My English is bad.

You are doing very well. We have not seen many Portuguese fans here. I

have seen you, but not many others. Are there lots of Portuguese here?

1- 04 Portugal. Thanks very much. Good to speak to you. The game could

go into extra time and penalties, so we could be pushing on into

midnight, although people behind me, the French people, will be hoping it

gets wrapped up in 90 minutes. Despite having chances, France

haven't managed to take the lead. We are approaching the halfway part of

the second half. Most people are quite relaxed, but if we reach that

point, they may start to get a little bit more tense.

on Thursday had been planning Tensions continue in Baton Rouge,

Louisiana, where protests taking to the streets have been met

with dozens of arrests. Meanwhile community leaders

are attempting to bring about dialogue to

find a way through. Dr Joe Connelly is from

the Baton Rouge Together organisation and pastor

of the Wesley United He'll address the youth

of Baton Rouge in a short while in attempts to

heal community divisions. What do you make of the mood where

you are at the moment? Right now, firstly, thank you for having us on

your programme. Being together and outside, it's a great sense of

excitement and hopefulness. The youth have said that throughout the

protests and marches in our city, their voice hasn't been heard. This

is a completely organised group of the youth, 18 and under, who

organised this process. We are expecting over 800 here, and then we

will march on to our state capital. It is a mood of excitement, joy and

hope. This obviously comes during a very painful time for your town and

your state. What has the reaction been after the two shootings of

those two black men last week? We've had anger, we've had frustration,

there have been over 150 arrests. But as far as Baton Rouge residents

are concerned, we had 72 hours of protest in Baton Rouge without one

single incident. Friday night is when it escalated. Tomorrow, there

should be a higher escalation even. It is not just Baton Rouge. All

across the United States, there is a sense of no more. People's emotions,

what they have accept it and dealt with for generations, the younger

generations are saying that they will not let it continue. Emotions

have reached a boiling point. It has reached every city, Houston,

Chicago, New York, New Jersey, at an rouge, New Orleans, Minnesota,

California... It isn't just one pocket. There was a sense that

people are fed up. You have spoken of a boiling point. Is there a

danger of race riots here? I think we continue to press and emphasise

peaceful protests. There are groups who have a different agenda than

others, and there could be some potential things going forward. But

as far as the faith community is concerned, we are pushing peaceful

protests. I have had conversations with the district attorney and the

governor, and the chief of police, they have all said it. It is your

constitutional right to protest. We are just asking that you do it

within the confines of the law. Thank you very much for being with

us. A week of political paralysis

in Australia seems to be over after the country's Prime Minister,

Malcolm Turnbull, finally declared victory following

a cliffhanger general election. Votes are still being counted,

but his conservative National-Liberal coalition

is expected to win Malcolm Turnbull said it was a great

day after declaring victory His centre-right coalition hovered

just short of a majority The question now is what sort

of government will Mr Turnbull lead? The millionaire former merchant

banker is confident he will win a slim majority in the lower

house of Parliament. But if he doesn't,

he will have to rely on minor Despite the uncertainty,

he remains upbeat. But the most important people

to thank are the Australian people because we have resolved this

election, we have gone through this election with fiercely fought

arguments, issues of policy, issues of principle, and we have done

so peacefully and constructively. Counting is continuing

in a handful of seats, where some candidates have been

separated by less than ten votes. Earlier, the opposition

leader Bill Shorten, a former trade unionist,

had conceded defeat. He has promised to work

with the Conservatives to find common ground and make

the Parliament work. I understand that we have

an opportunity here. The Australian people expect

all sides of politics to work in the national interest,

the interest of the people Despite these assurances,

Mr Shorten has predicted the new government will be unstable

and short-lived, and believes Australia will return

to the polls within a year. The Prime Minister called this

election promising stability, but it has in the short-term

at least delivered anything but. What a net achievement -- what an

achievement for Andy Murray today. As you've been hearing,

the final of Euro 2016 between France and Portugal

is into the second half in Paris. And Portugal are having to manage

without their talismanic The Real Madrid man limped off

injured in the first half. The match has been going

for just over an hour. And as you can see,

the latest score is 0-0. Andy Murray has won

Wimbledon for a second time. The world number two beat

Canadian Milos Raonic in three sets to clinch his second title at

The All-England Club, Bearing the hopes of

a nation, a feeling now The focus and expectation

on him are unique but then he is no ordinary player,

this is no ordinary match. Behind him were plenty

of familiar faces. This is the first time Murray has

faced anyone except the great Djokovic or Roger Federer

in a grand slam final. Now time for Milos Raonic

to make his presence felt. The Canadian has the most

fearsome serve in tennis. To win, Murray would have to find

a way to counter. He found that, taking

the first set with a roar. Now, no letup, you saved

his best for the moment The artistry on the backhand

side from Andy Murray, The Milos Raonic serve would always

be his most dangerous weapon that COMMENTATOR: The quickest serve

of the tournament by far. The second set decided

on the tie-break, the British number From a crowd that had expected

so much, Murray demanding more. But here, as always,

he was doing things his own way. On the game's greatest stage,

Murray's moment came again. Wimbledon champion again,

supreme performance, a first-class Few have ever felt expectation quite

like Andy Murray, few have ever delivered like this

Wimbledon champion. The most important one and for me

every year. I've had some great moments here, and also some tough

losses. The winds feel extra special because of the top losses. I'm proud

to get my hands on the trophy again. It was so emotional back in 2013

after being the first British man to win after 77 years. Will you enjoy

this one more? I will make sure I do. Last time, I was under so much

stress and pressure, I didn't get the chance to enjoy it as much. I

will make sure I will enjoy this one tonight, for sure!
