More now on the sharp contraction of the uk economy. Our reporter phil bodmer has been looking at the impact its had in yorkshire. There have been they have been mixing oils and subs at this factory in bradford for generations. These days it produces detergents and softeners for the hospitality and commercial health care sectors. At the lockdown has meant that the plant is only running at half capacity. With full production unlikely to resume before october or november. The figures are not a surprise to me at all and i suspect that in may, we may well see similar. No business is going to escape unhurt from this. People talk about we will be strong, we will be battered, bruised, wiser. It would change the dynamics of the business but actually we can use that in a positive way. We have been in the borough here and cross sells for 15 years, nine employees, and normally these vessels would have £400 of pint of beer each wasnt just up the road, this microbrewery in public normally produces 50,000 pints avail await. It is been mothballed since march and most of the staff have been furloughed. They are preparing to begin production again next week hopefully the hospitality sector will resume in july. Hopefully the hospitality sector will resume in july. For us the best thing will to get all our customers back operating again possibly a little walk and the Business Grant syste m little walk and the Business Grant system where we falljust outside the whole of oji bodie. Back to work, back to producing beer, and restocking pumps. It is going to be taught. At the beginning we said that it will be. We are learning that it will be. We are learning that it will be. We are learning thatitis that it will be. We are learning that it is going to be months if not years of damage to our economy. According to the office for national statistics, aprils sorrowful affected virtually all areas of activity as businesses were forced to close their doors. Despite todays loom, there is cause for optimism. I think its a catalyst to actually motivate us to look at things faster than we perhaps were doing. Its hoped the bounce back will be quick but in truth, no amount of soft soap will wash away the effect of coronavirus on the economy and the people whose livelihood depend on it. Well, the Economic Uncertainty has led to calls for the brexit transition period where the uk follows eu rules on trade, travel, and business to be extended beyond the end of this year. Today, the government ruled that out, with cabinet minister michael gove saying hed formally confirmed to the eu that thered be no delay. But checks on goods coming here from the eu will be phased in next year, to give businesses time to adjust. Our Political Correspondent alex forsyth reports. It has not been business like this for months. Many firms disrupted because of the virus and at the end of this year, another big change could be brewing. Our current trade terms with the eu end and there will be no extension whether there is a new deal or not. We would not be extending. That is it, we are leaving the transition period on december 31 and that provides clarity and certainty to business and our announcement allows business to plan in an appropriate and flexible way. The uk left the eu onjanuary 31, allowing one year were not much changed to work out future relations. Those talks have not made huge progress so on monday the Prime Minister will meet eu figures to try to get things moving because december 31 is the deadline for a new trade deal to be agreed and that wont be extended. Although some still think it should be and why. . To take away the risk of a no deal outcome and to make sure that all of us remain focused on supporting business through the post Covid Recovery and not making the challenges that the economy and our businesses face any worse than it already is. For some businesses, some relief today. This fashion firm imports from and exports to the eu and today the government said from january it would relax new rules on some goods coming in. Six months of grace for customs paperwork and payments. Which was welcome here. Setting up a new Border Control system in seven or eight months would not be realistic and i think the uk can see more benefit from that. The government insists it is not backtracking on previous plans, arguing that a phased approach to new customs checks is pragmatic in the current economic climate. But the eu is not reciprocating. It says it will be ready for controls on imports comejanuary. Brexit may not have dominated here of late but that does not mean the political pressure has eased. The government was re elected with a significant majority, with a strong mandate to get on with brexit. If the government is going to fulfil the commitments on which it was elected, we need to have those customs processes and our borders fully operational as soon as we can. For businesses, certainty is key, even more so given the turmoil of coronavirus. More clarity on border plans have been welcomed but it is whether a broader deal can be struck which remains crucial. Alex forsyth, bbc news, westminster. Coronavirus has hit the most deprived parts of england and wales twice as hard as wealthier areas, according to official figures. Urban areas, which are more densely populated, were worse affected than rural areas. Meanwhile, in the last 24 hour period, the number of deaths reported in the uk in hospitals, care homes and the Wider Community related to coronavirus were up by 202, bringing the total number of deaths to 41,481. Our Health Editor hugh pym reports. The northeast of england has been hit hard by coronavirus. Following the peak in april, the number of deaths fell across the country last month but slower in this region and elsewhere. And local Health Experts say there were a number of factors. As a gp in inner city newcastle we have large numbers of people with long term conditions or chronic diseases and the ones that we see a lot of include chest diseases, chronic obstructive disease is very common and that clearly puts you at greater risk if you would catch the virus. Figures out today for england and wales show a range of death rates linked to covid 19 between march and may. They are adjusted for differing age profiles in each area. In england in the northeast that figure wasjust over 97 per 100,000 of population. In london the highest was 137 per 100,000 in population and the lowest in england was the southwest with just over 41. In wales, the highest area once again a big city was cardiff, at 125 per 100,000 deaths. Wales as a whole at 67 was below england. The figures show death rates in the most deprived areas were a lot higher than in the wealthiest parts of the country. In england, more than twice as high. There is a higher death rate from covid amongst people who for example are working unskilled labour and its quite likely that there are higher proportions of people in that area that went into deprived areas. Similarly with an area in urban areas of high population density it is hard to do your social distancing effectively and many of the deprived areas we are looking at are areas i population density. The medical directorfor nhs england acknowledged that these are challenging issues. Those things that you are more likely to do badly when you get the infection like diabetes, obesity, like heart and lung disease, we see more frequently in more deprived areas of the country and so tackling those issues fundamentally will also mean that people are less likely for infection such as covid 19. In scotland and Northern Ireland, there are no comperable figures on death rates which have been attested by the differing age demographics in each area. There will be a lot more research on health inequalities, prevalence among bame communities, wealth disparities, and underlying conditions. Todays figures for england and wales at a bit more to an understanding of coronavirus. A black couple in norwich say they are convinced they were targeted by police because of the colour of their skin. Suffolk police have apologised after a video of the incident was viewed more than two million times on social media. Mike liggins has the story. I dont know who you are. Well, why do you need to know who we are . were at our house. Because im making an inquiry. Why . because i can. But why though . youvejust stopped us randomly. This is the moment Ingrid Antoine Onikoyi and her husband falil were stopped by two officers from Suffolk Police and asked to provide id. The couple are staying with a relative in ipswich and were stopped by the officers who were working on an operation in the same street. You see all these videos online from england and america where theres a black man thats been dragged along a street, kneeled on, shot, you know, so when this happened, i think my voice went into such a high pitch because it was like, no, no, youre not taking my husband away. No, no, youre not going to kill him. It was fear, i was scared. The female officer is heard to say the couple were jumping on a bandwagon in the current climate. The video was posted on twitter by mrs antoine onikoyis daughter, and its now being seen by over 2 million people. This is terrible Suffolk Police have apologised for the incident with the deputy chief constable saying, its an opportunity for us to have a long, hard look at how we conduct ourselves. Mike liggins, bbc look east. Earlier this evening, Ingrid Antoine Onikoyi her husband falil spoke to the bbc about the incident. She explained what was going through her head at the time. We assumed that they were coming to ask us, you know, have you seen a burglar running down the road or have you seen this type of man . We really didnt expect them to be saying, you know, where you live, who are you, and we need to see id. Do you believe that you are stopped because you are both black . Based on interaction, i believe so. You know, when you get this thing of, sometimes when youre driving nice cars, its almost like you have no right to be in these cars. So, you know, lets see your licence, are these cars registered to you . You know, that kind of talk, it was like, what you talking about . Why wouldthe cars be registered to someone else . Wejust didnt. We are not in that world. We dont understand, you know, we do everything right. Ijust came up from mot, for crying out loud. To those people who say, well, if it had been a white couple, we wouldnt be reporting it, and whats the fuss all about . Can you explain why black people sometimes feel more vulnerable or targeted by the police . The way we were stopped and the way it was dealt with, that alone really explains why we feel targeted. Statistics prove that we are targeted. When you look at it, i mean, you cannot beat the stats, really, can you . Do you feel more vulnerable as a black man . I do now. I never did as such. I was aware of it, but to be fair, i had a feeling that im not doing anything wrong, so why am i concerned . This hasjust shattered that conception. You know, when it happens to you, it happens to other people and you think, oh, well thats awful. When it happens to you, it brings you to another level altogether. The police have apologised now. What did they say to you . Basically, they did apologise about the treatments by the two officers. However, we are not satisfied with the explanation as to the reasoning behind the request. That wasnt really a good reason. Fundamentally, for me, thats an issue. We need to understand and be reassured that theyve got processes in place to make sure when they are dealing with members of the public, regardless of ethnicity, they follow certain processes and procedures. There are other people who drove up and down the street at the same time, why werent they stopped . A man who dumped mustard gas in a lincolnshire lake has been jailed for five years for possessing a chemical weapon. Martyn tasker discovered the abandoned canisters on former mod land. His wife, michaela, and friend, Stuart Holmes, were given 12 month suspended sentences after they admitted helping him. Our environment correspondent, linsey smith, was in court in nottingham. It looked like the scene of a biological attack, the military, police and aspirants examining woodman near we can sure, and being contaminated with a biological weapon capable of burning and blistering skin and lungs, mustard gas. Martyn tasker and michaela located the. They suffered some injury asa located the. They suffered some injury as a result of being exposed to the chemicals. And ultimately that led to them reporting the issue to the police. Today Martyn Tasker a former Territorial Army soldier with a fascination for wartime memorabilia wasnt sentenced at Nottingham Court for possessing and disposing of the mustard gas and for possessing two machine guns that we re possessing two machine guns that were discovered on searches of his home, he was jailed for five years. His wife michaela and friend Stuart Holmes both of lincoln both received 12 months of tenses suspend for two yea rs 12 months of tenses suspend for two years for their roles in the mustard gas incident. Potential harm from the general hot public being is to these kind of chemicals would have been potentially quite fatal for a large number of people under the wrong circumstances, and clearly the operation that took place because real concerns of the local community and it had an impact on the Emergency Services and all the agencies involved. Mustard gas was used as a weapon during world war i where it was sprayed from aircraft oi where it was sprayed from aircraft or dropped in bombs like these. Victims have an increased risk of cancer in later life. It was outlawed in 1925. These were not terrorists, rather memorabilia collectors who found the gas bombs in woods on some land that was historically requisitioned by the ministry of defence for training purposes but they dumped them illegally and lied to the police about the circumstances. It is obviously a chemical weapon, and it was used in the first world war, outlawed in 1925. But for health and self defence purposes, the intent was to cause huge term. If a single one of the cylinders had been let off in the wrong location, it could cause serious harm and death. Its the first time that anyone in the uk has been charged with possession of a chemical weapon. And although their intentions were not warfare, their intentions were not warfare, the welfare risks to the walkers and scout groups who use this woodland could been devastating. Lindsey smith, bbc news. A ceremonys taken place at the National Memorial arboretum in staffordshire to mark the start of work on a new police memorial. The ground was broken by the fathers of pcs fiona bone and nicola hughes, two Greater Manchester officers killed on duty in september 2012.

The family of a man who has just left intensive care after spending 50 days being treated for coronavirus, say they cant praise the medical staff enough. Gary trigg from the forest of dean in gloucestershire contracted covid 19 in april. While his life was hanging in the balance, his daughter was in the same hospital giving birth. Our reporter, steve knibbs, has been to see the family. Applause. Hes turned a corner, hes out of ccu now, and he had the clap out yesterday which was wonderful and he gave a little wave at the end. This was the moment garys family thought they would never see. He was admitted to hospitals part of the first wave of Covid Patients back in april. He became very, very poorly. It was touch and go, yeah. We didnt know going from one day to the next. If he was going to survive or not. Every day was different. But after 50 days and over 1200 hours of treatment in Critical Care, gary who is one of the longest Covid Patients in the hospital made it through. Its like a miracle really. Hes obviously got inner strength, but the doctors, nurses, and Critical Care staff are absolutely wonderful. The support weve had, the Family Support for him every day, that was a great help. We owe our dads life to them and they have been absolutely fantastic. Theyre very brave because theyre risking their own lives going into work every day, but the fact that theyve brought dad through this and he will be returning home to us is fantastic and i cant thank them enough. As soon hes well enough, gary will get to see his new granddaughter, six week old matilda. She was born in the same hospital as he lay in intensive care. Knowing that dad was in the tower block and i could see out the window and not being able to see him was heartbreaking. It was the thought of, is he ever going to be able to see his new grandchild . So the virtual visiting, being able to hold her upjust so we could see her was very emotional for me. No one has died in gloucestershires hospitals from coronavirus for the last two weeks and this month, there have only been four reported new cases in the county. It is welcome and good news but garys family still urge people not to be complacent. Its too late and we dont want anybody else to go through what we have, they might not be so lucky. I mean theres 40,000 people, who have not been so lucky and scary. So to still follow the government guidelines, stay safe. Gary is well known in cinderford through his links to the rugby club. His friends say they cant wait to see him back on the bank with a pint watching a game. And hell be there. He may not be out of hospital yet, but his is a story of survival, proof that no matter how long it takes, you can beat the odds. Steve knibbs, bbc news, cinderford. Lets take a reminder of the main points from todays downing street briefing with the transport secretary, grant shapps. From monday, it will be compulsory to wear Face Coverings on all public transport in england. Failure to do so may result in a fine or you being refused to travel. Mr shapps said that the latest uk figures on the pandemic are encouraging and said that despite the increase in testing, new positive coronavirus cases continue to fall. The r number remains stable at between 0. 7 and 0. 9. The transport secretary grant shapps said a gentle approach to enforcement would be used over the first couple of days after Face Coverings are made compulsory on public transport in england on monday. But as people start to travel, transport also presents one of our biggest challenges, how we protect passengers can prevent the spread of virus, even as we become more mobile. Transport use may be the first occasion since the onset of covid that we have shared confined spaces with others, so it is critical that we all take a vigilant and cautious approach over the next few weeks. Im just going to say this. If you can work from home, you should continue to do so. If you cannot work from home, you should try to avoid public transport. If you must use public transport, you should travel at quieter times of day, and if you are an employer, you should do everything in your power to prevent staff from travelling unless its absolutely vital, and please do allow staff to travel at quieter times. Now, from monday it becomes mandatory in england to wear a Face Covering on public transport. That includes trains, buses, trams, ferries and planes. A Face Covering does not mean a surgical mask. Face coverings can be made at home, you can find guidance to do so on gov. Uk. As we move to recovery, it is more important than ever to protect each other, preventing those showing no symptoms from infecting others. I know there is huge public support for compulsory Face Coverings. They show respect for our fellow travellers. But for clarity, transport operators will be able to refuse permission to travel where someone isnt using a Face Covering. This weekend, im taking powers through the Public Health act leading to fines for noncompliance too. We will take a gentle approach to enforcement during the first couple of days. And help will be at hand. In addition to the british transport police, the staff from network rail, from tfl, transport for london, and transport operators, in the coming weeks we will also deployjourney makers to assist and remind commuters of the need to wear Face Coverings. Plus the safe transport campaign will provide plenty of reminders at bus stops, rail stations and social media. Remembering yourFace Covering should be the same as picking up your phone, your wallet, or your purse whenever you are leaving the house. Please read the guidance, ensure you have a Face Covering and protect your fellow commuters. This crisis has tested our nation, yet through adversity comes possibility. A greener transport future within our grasp. For example, through the £2 billion investment in the cycling and walking programme. The challenge, though, is to make transport currently our biggest emitter of Greenhouse Gases part of the solution, not of the problem. If you take the aviation sector, for example, which has had an impossible few months, yet despite these obvious challenges there is a real determination within the industry to have a greener restart. So we are bringing together leaders from aviation, environmental groups and government to form the jet zero council, a group charged with making net zero emissions possible for future flights. Our goal, within a generation, will be to demonstrate flight across the atlantic without harming the environment. And today we are backing a company who are building a plant for aviation biofuels in lincolnshire. Im also excited about the Cambridge University and whittle labs project to accelerate technologies for zero carbon flight. The shared experience of fighting coronavirus has changed us in many different ways. Although it has forced us apart, it is also brought us together. Although it has tested us, it has also shown us at our very best and although it has made us reflect on the past, it has focused us on those plans for the future. But now, as we become more mobile, we must not forget this insidious virus is still a threat. That not only means avoiding public transport if you can. It also means from monday wearing a Face Covering on public transport, avoiding gatherings of more than six people, including to protest. I understand that people want to show their passion for issues that they care deeply about and we must never be complacent about stamping out racism and discrimination in this country. But please, for the sake of your health, and that of your friends and families, dont attend mass gatherings. We have come a long way as we move towards recovery and lets protect lives as well as livelihoods. Good evening. Its been a fairly unsettled picture over the last 24 hours or so. Weve had some blustery winds and outbreaks of rain around to. This was in hastings on friday afternoon. Cloudy skies there, some drizzly rain and some fairly windy conditions as well. Now, as we head through the next couple of days, it is a very mixed picture. There will be some sunshine around and things are feeling quite warm. Humidity rising to, but thundery downpours are likely, not all of us are going to be seeing them. The areas most likely to see those thunderstorms on saturday across the southwest of england and wales as well. By sunday, that risk pushes a bit further north into northwest england, Northern Ireland as well. Now, all of these thunderstorms are going to be courtesy of this area of low pressure which is moving its way out of the bay of biscay pushing northwards across the uk. So, that is going to bring the heaviest of the downpours across parts of the southwest of england, wales too. Through the course of tonight though, weve also got some rain to come from the northern and eastern parts of scotland. And this area of showery rain pushing across Northern England into Northern Ireland by the early hours of saturday. Further south across england and wales, quite mild, in fact, quite muggy with those temperatures holding up in the mid teens overnight. A little bit cooler further north, but certainly quite mild. Likely seeing double figures wherever you are. Saturday then it brings us a day of sunshine and showers. For the bulk of england and wales, theres dry weather through the morning, there will be a bit of rain across northern and eastern scotland. But further heavy showers set to develop later in the afternoon. They will be pushing in across the channel isles towards the isle of wight. Devon and cornwall too, so some thunderstorms possible here. Some showers could be heavy and thunderey foor wales into the midlands. Thunder reefer wales. Dryer towards london and east anglia, and in improved day for Northern England and Northern Ireland. The cloud that we had today clearing away tomorrow. So more in sunshine around, quite warm too. A lot of dry weather for parts of scotland. Cloudiest with a few showers towards the east. But the northwest of scotland, another fairly warm day with temperatures in the mid 20s. So warm, muggy wherever you are, really, as we head into saturday evening, still some showers around overnight. Into sunday, and other similar sort of day it to what we will see on saturday again, sunshine and showers. The heaviest of the showers on sunday probably somewhere through parts of north wales, the midlands, Northern Ireland as well. Elsewhere, with those temperatures up into the low to mid 20s, it will feel quite warm and muggy in those spells of sunshine around. We keep the showery theme into the middle part of next week, but then things are set to turn a little bit dryer mid week onwards. Bye bye.
