| Donald Trump has accused the Black Lives Matter movement of “dividing America”, while suggesting he identified with African Americans who felt as though the system was stacked against them. “The first time I heard it I said: ‘You have to be kidding,’” Trump said of the phrase black lives matter on Fox News. “I think it’s a very, very, very divisive term.” At the same time, Trump criticised the killings of Sterling and Castile as “a terrible, disgusting performance” by police. | Donald Trump has accused the Black Lives Matter movement of “dividing America”, while suggesting he identified with African Americans who felt as though the system was stacked against them. “The first time I heard it I said: ‘You have to be kidding,’” Trump said of the phrase black lives matter on Fox News. “I think it’s a very, very, very divisive term.” At the same time, Trump criticised the killings of Sterling and Castile as “a terrible, disgusting performance” by police. |

| The great food crisis: half of all food produce thrown away | The great food crisis: half of all food produce thrown away |
| Almost as much food consumed in the US is discarded, the Guardian has found, in what is often described as a “farm-to-fork” problem. The problem rests with a “cult of perfection” that is, in turn, deepening hunger and poverty, and inflicting a heavy toll on the environment. According to official data and interviews with farmers, packers, truckers, researchers, campaigners and government officials, the losses are far higher than previously estimated because of unrealistic cosmetic standards. As part of a series on food waste, we also look at Europe, where efforts to curb food waste are growing. | Almost as much food consumed in the US is discarded, the Guardian has found, in what is often described as a “farm-to-fork” problem.

| Incoming UK prime minister Theresa May is expected to appoint a series of female allies to key government posts when she is invited by the Queen of England to form a new government later today. May will make her first speech as Britain’s 76th prime minister as she makes her way into her new home at 10 Downing Street. However, she is unlikely to immediately invoke Article 50 that would begin the process of removing the UK from the European Union before the New Year. | Incoming UK prime minister Theresa May is expected to appoint a series of female allies to key government posts when she is invited by the Queen of England to form a new government later today.

| One day after a UN tribunal ruled against Chinese claims to huge swaths of the strategically important South China Sea, Beijing has rejected the verdict, calling it “a piece of paper that is destined to come to naught”. In a 13,900-word white paper, Beijing claimed the Philippines, which brought the case, had “distorted facts, misinterpreted laws and concocted a pack of lies” in order to undermine Chinese interests. But will the ruling serve to exacerbate tensions? | One day after a UN tribunal ruled against Chinese claims to huge swaths of the strategically important South China Sea, Beijing has rejected the verdict, calling it “a piece of paper that is destined to come to naught”.

| Barack Obama calls for peace in Dallas | Barack Obama calls for peace in Dallas |
| In a tribute to the five officers killed in the city last week, the president said racial discrimination still existed in the US and protesters against police violence could not be written off as “troublemakers or paranoid”. For their part, he said angry citizens must acknowledge the dangers police face on the job. A veteran of such speeches, Obama said: “I’m not naive. I have spoken at too many memorials in the course of this presidency. I’ve seen how inadequate words can be at bringing about lasting change. I see the inadequacy of my own words.” | In a tribute to the five officers killed in the city last week, the president said racial discrimination still existed in the US and protesters against police violence could not be written off as “troublemakers or paranoid”.

| Egypt’s disappeared | Egypt’s disappeared |
| Hundreds of Egyptians have been forcibly disappeared in a campaign to wipe out peaceful dissent, Amnesty International claims. Most of those who have been disappeared are supporters of Mohamed Morsi, the democratically elected Muslim Brotherhood president who was deposed three years ago. Many have been held for months at a time and kept blindfolded and handcuffed, the report says. In February, Italian graduate student Giulio Regeni was found dead in Cairo, with his body bearing signs of torture. | Hundreds of Egyptians have been forcibly disappeared in a campaign to wipe out peaceful dissent, Amnesty International claims.

But will they concur? Of 375 responses from Guardian readers, just 20 plan to shift their vote to Donald Trump but Green party nominee Jill Stein has emerged as an attractive alternative with nearly twice as many supporters – 171 – as Clinton. | With Bernie Sanders’ endorsement of Hillary Clinton yesterday, the Vermont senator asked his supporters to turn their attention to putting the former secretary of state in the White House.

| European court backs woman wearing hijab | European court backs woman wearing hijab |
| A French design engineer who was dismissed for wearing an Islamic headscarf should have been allowed to cover her head at work, the European Union’s highest court has recommended. Asma Bougnaoui lost her job with Micropole SA, a French IT consultancy, in June 2009. Lawyers claimed her dismissal amounted to direct discrimination since there was nothing to suggest that Bougnaoui was unable to perform her duties as a design engineer because she wore a headscarf. | A French design engineer who was dismissed for wearing an Islamic headscarf should have been allowed to cover her head at work, the European Union’s highest court has recommended.

| The interns of Silicon Valley | |
| Julia Carrie Wong meets “the largest gathering of interns in the world” and finds, um, “piles of free stuff”. Internapalooza, a peculiar cultural initiation to the tech industry for thousands of summer interns, is held in the club level at the San Francisco Giants’ stadium. The would-be tech billionaires scooped up T-shirts, tote bags, water bottles, Moleskin notebooks, sunglasses, argyle socks from Zillow, mobile device charge pads from eBay, winter caps from Google, flip flops from Andreessen Horowitz, and – the overall favorite – selfie sticks and throw pillows from YouTube. | |

| The Picasso tapestry is long gone and soon so will the power brokers, the diplomats, society grandees and the Mies van der Rohe chairs. The Philip Johnson-designed Four Seasons restaurant on Park Avenue, which Jackie Kennedy called “the cathedral”, is closing this weekend, victim of a property developer’s power struggle. This “acme of modernist design outshining any other space in New York – will be despoiled,” writes Jason Farago. | The Picasso tapestry is long gone and soon so will the power brokers, the diplomats, society grandees and the Mies van der Rohe chairs.
