Trump 4th of July parade causes controversy

As Americans observe their normally non-partisan Independence Day, President Trump is preparing to host what he’s dubbed 'the show of a lifetime' in Washington DC. He is to stage a military flypast and a display of tanks at the Lincoln Memorial, where he'll also give a speech. Has he politicised a normally non-partisan occasion?

Also coming up: at least eighty migrants are feared dead after their boat capsized off the coast of Tunisia; and the most notorious gangster in the Netherlands is sentenced to life in prison thanks partly to evidence from his sisters.
