China is making further changes to Hong Kong's electoral system. Hundreds of pages of new legislation are being discussed by the Legislative Council. The US announces it will withdraw troops from Afghanistan by September 11th - 20 years on from the attacks on the World Trade Center. We have reaction from a former Afghan minister. And one hundred days to go to the Tokyo Olympics - the hosts are adamant the games will go ahead. But with Covid cases high and the pace of vaccination slow, many in Japan doubt it's a good idea.
