Three, two, one, zero, ignition. Lift off. Go nasa, go spacex. Godspeed, bob and doug. Nasa astronauts make history as they blast off towards the International Space station in a commercial rocket theyre due to dock this afternoon good morning. After three months of waiting, elite sport is set to return. Behind closed doors and under strict regulations, the first major events begin in england from tomorrow. Good morning. Its dry, warm, and sunny for the final day of may. By the first few days ofjune will bring a change. Something cooler and possibly wetter on the way. Details later on breakfast. Good morning. Its sunday 31st may. Our top story there have been further protests across the United States, after the death of an unarmed black man in Police Custody. Curfews have been brought in after a fifth night of unrest. At least 30 cities have been hit by demonstrations, which have seen police cars set on fire and riot police clashing with protestors. Our north america correspondent david willis is in los angeles. David, good morning to you. I know the protests a re david, good morning to you. I know the protests are also in los angeles where you are. Just bring us up to date on events overnight, please. This was the night america rose up in anger and very bitter demonstration. We have seen demonstrations and protests in virtually all the major cities from new york, los angeles, chicago, washington, dc, atlanta, miami, las vegas, the list goes on and on. And here in la which has seen some particularly violent clashes, the local police chief likened whats happened over the last 2a hours to the rodney king riots nearly 30 yea rs the rodney king riots nearly 30 years ago which, of course, raised pa rt years ago which, of course, raised part of the city of los angeles to the ground. Those demonstrations are still continuing both here and in other cities and despite the curfews that have been imposed these protesters seem extremely determined to press their point. And, david, as we hear more from those protesters it becomes more and more evident that, clearly, the death in Police Custody is the main cause, but also this is about lockdown, is about cu rfews, this is about lockdown, is about curfews, its this is about lockdown, is about cu rfews, its about this is about lockdown, is about curfews, its about restrictions on people being able to go out and aboutjobs people being able to go out and about jobs and the people being able to go out and aboutjobs and the economy. People being able to go out and about jobs and the economy. Thats right. We have a potentially explosive cocktail here with the coronavirus having thrown more than 40 coronavirus having thrown more than a0 million americans out of work. Its depressed the economy and, of course, people have been cooped up for weeks on end. If you add to that those very incendiary images of george floyd being arrested and then dying in the custody of the police you have all the elements for this sort of uprising, but few here can remember the violence and the looting on quite this scale that we have seen over the past 2a hours in the United States. 0k, david, finau thank you. David willis are corresponded in los angeles. Thank you. More than two million medically Vulnerable People in england, who have been shielding at home since the start of lockdown, will be allowed to spend Time Outdoors from tomorrow. The updated government guidance means they can go outside with someone they live with, or meet a person from another household if they live alone. 0ur Political Correspondent chris mason has more details. This is what the beach in bournemouth looks like yesterday and, in london, this was regents park and this was primrose he. Not everyones been able to take advantage of some of the restrictions easing in recent weeks. The clinically managed vulnerable to the virus who were asked to shield have been stuck at home all day every day for around ten weeks. This morning, for the more than 2 Million People in england in this situation, big news. From tomorrow you can head out with others in your household oi, out with others in your household or, if you live alone, with one other person from another household. Why, though, is this now deemed safe 7 why, though, is this now deemed safe . Ministers say its because fewer people have the virus, meaning the average chance of catching it is down from one in a0 two one in 1000. The big challenge for the government and for all of us is managing the risk posed by the virus alongside tentatively tiptoeing back towards normality. What you to those scientists and others who say that youre easing the lockdown in england to quickly was yellow i believe and you will recall i was at the podium when the disease activity was very high in the uk and i said isa was very high in the uk and i said is a very dangerous moment. Was very high in the uk and i said is a very dangerous momentlj believe is a very dangerous moment. believe this is also a very dangerous moment. Professor van dam knows how to turn a phrase and make a point. He was also asked direct about dominic cummings, the Prime Ministers gresini advisor who, among other things, drove 50 miles to test his eyesight during the lock down. The rules are clear and they have always been clear. In my opinion they are for the benefit of all and opinion they are for the benefit of alland in my opinion they are for the benefit of all and in my opinion they apply to all. Out. The Prime Ministers team had nothing to say when i asked for their response to this. Instead their response to this. Instead their focus is on their response to this. Instead theirfocus is on how more people in england can slowly edge out of the lockdown. Chris mason, bbc news. 0ur Political Correspondent Jonathan Blake joins us from our london newsroom. Good morning to you, jonathan. What does this mean in practical terms for everybody when the rule changes tomorrow . Well, that depends on which particular group you fall into. For most of us it means in england we will be able to gather in groups of up to six people from any number of different households as long as social distancing rules are observed and the numbers vary slightly depending on which part of the uk you are in. But for that particular group of more than 2 Million People who have been deemed most at risk of catching coronavirus and suffering serious symptoms, tomorrow is also a big moment because for them dealing with the realities of lock down has been more difficult than most. Not being able to go outside at all since the lockdown began, having to get deliveries of food and medicines and other essential supplies, that changes from tomorrow with this guidance, as youve heard. Those who have been shielding will be allowed to go outside and meet with one other person, eitherfrom to go outside and meet with one other person, either from their household or from a other person, either from their household orfrom a different household orfrom a different household if they live alone, so long as social distancing rules apply. So a big change and is not before time, according to the charities who have been representing some of these groups with specific medical need to say the guidance has lacked clarity. The Prime Minister has paid tribute to the resilience of those who have been shielding saying i do not underestimatejust how difficult it has been he goes on to say i will do what i can in line with scientific advice to continue to make life easier. Jonathan, thanks very much. The labour mp, rosie duffield, has apologised for breaching lockdown restrictions and has resigned as a party whip. The mp for canterbury met her partner for a walk last month while they were living separately. She said theyd been trying to navigate a difficult personal situation as responsibly as possible, but in doing so had breached the guidelines. Many watched it last night. There was a big moment in the history of space travel last night as two nasa astronauts blasted off from Cape Canaveral in a privately funded rocket. Doug hurley and bob behnken are on their way to the International Space centre in a craft thats been built by spacex, the Company Owned by the billionaire elon musk. 0ur correspondent jane 0brien reports from florida. Three, two, one, zero. Ignition. Lift off. Go, nasa. Go spacex. Godspeed. As the countdown reached single digits, the clouds broke, the sky cleared and the first spacex rocket carrying humans into space lifted off. Astronauts bob behnken and doug hurley are now in orbit, heading for the International Space station. Travelling at a 17,000 miles an hour, they should arrive in as much time as it takes to fly from new york to sydney. Right now, everything continuing to look good. The astronauts are the first to launch from us soil in almost a decade after nasa retired its shuttle programme. Since then, russia has provided transport to the International Space station. The multibillion dollar deal with spacex is intended to reduce the cost of human space flight, including landing on the moon and eventually taking people to mars. I think this is something that should really get people, i mean, right in the heart of anyone who has any spirit of exploration. Yeah, really quite overcome with emotion this day. Its kind of hard to talk, frankly. Been 18 years working towards this goal, so. Its hard to believe that its happened. Those of us who saw the spectacular and unforgettable lift off this afternoon watched more than an act of history, we watched an act of heroism. We wish them godspeed on theirjourney and as one proud nation, we salute their fearless service, thank you, thank you. Thank you. Applause. The shuttles reusable falcon 9 rocket has already been retrieved at sea by a drone ship. Radio im going to kind of do a side spin. When the capsule returns to earth, splashing down off the coast of florida, it too will be recovered and reused. After all the nail biting excitement of the launch itself, its easy to forget that the astronauts still have some work to do, but Spacex Mission control says everythings going well so far and theyve already carried out their first manual flight tests. Jane obrien, bbc news, at the Kennedy Space center. One of the most recognisable voices on childrens tv, the thomas and friends narrator, Michael Angelis has died. Michael, who was 68, narrated the classic thomas stories for more than 20 years. He was also an accomplished actor, appearing in a string of comedies careful, thomas, called his driver. But it was too late. Thats done it, we cant get any further today. Michael, who was 68, narrated the classic thomas stories for more than 20 years. He was also an accomplished actor, appearing in a string of comedies and dramas including the liver birds and auf wiedersehen, pet. Could watch those all day. He was brilliant. Brilliant. It is approaching 6 13am. We are going to talk more about the lockdown restrictions being continually eased across the uk. It will be quite a while until Tourist Attractions are allowed to open. But when they do, they might want to look to italy for inspiration. The Leaning Tower of pisa has allowed tourists back to tackle its winding staircases, but there are heavy restrictions on numbers and a clever bit of technology to help people keep their distance. Matt graveling reports. This famous landmark has never been short of support. Pisas Leaning Tower helps attract 5 million tourists to the area each year, until it was closed three months ago, in italys response to the coronavirus pandemic. Translation we need tourism. Pisa needs to be able to restart. The tower is the symbol of this restart, for pisa and for all the pisans. On saturday, the first step of this restart began, in fact, the first of more than 280 steps, as people climbed the tower once again. Translation we came from florence on purpose because we think that we can fight the virus only by starting to live again, with all of the Safety Measures and here all the conditions are right to do so. The reopening comes as italy, one of the countries worst hit by coronavirus, eases its lockdown measures but, withjust 15 people allowing in at one time, it is not quite business as usual. Translation in addition to the rules on sanitization, spacing, etc, we have relied on technology and on this electronic tool. Its a tag which is activated and begins to vibrate and illuminate when two people climbing the spiral staircase that leads to the top of the bell tower come too close to each other. 30 years ago, the tower closed for work to prevent a collapse. It is hoped this reopening will also signal a more stable future. Translation this is an exceptional event, comparable, if not more, than the reopening we did in 2001, after 11 years of closure. We want to give an important signal to the country, we are moving forward in the name of great beauty. Great beauty will save italy. Matt graveling, bbc news. Ever been to the top of that tower . One of the few places i have not been. We were discussing geography. It is probably a day trip. It is quite scary when you see how much it leads. Leans. It has been a beautiful a few days. Will it continue . It will continue for the rest of may as we head intojune, a bit of a change on the way. This whether watcher up very early this morning, before sunset. It promises another beautiful day. Sunshine and a very warm as well. High pressure keeping very settled. The winds flowing in a clockwise direction, a keen easterly breeze just like yesterday. From the north sea low cloud to eastern scotland, north east england but that shall go back out to sea quickly. But she cloud developing for england and wales. The brisk wind, you will notice the effect. Where you are exposed in aberdeen 17 degrees. With some shelter, 25 degrees. That is the difference of the breeze will make. North west england doing pretty well for temperatures. North east england, particularly close to the coast, feeling rather cool close to the coast, feeling rather cool. The west country might do quite nicely with temperatures. Above where they should be at this time of year. This evening and today, dry with clear spells. Again, cloud rolling in from the north sea in parts of eastern scotland and north east england. For most of us a mild night and a mild start to tomorrow morning. Once again, an early low cloud on monday. It could linger on North Eastern coast. The chance of some showers for parts of scotla nd chance of some showers for parts of scotland and Northern Ireland but another warm day. As we move beyond monday, things do begin to change. High pressure still in charge for most of us as we get into tuesday but this frontal system pushing it from the north and that will bring outbreaks of rain. The rain pushing and across scotland. Notice the wind direction behind that rain band. Went coming from the north so much, much cooler day across the north of scotland. But also plenty of warmth as well but the cooler air anything off will sink its way south. Cooler for all of us for the middle of the week. And many of us will get a little bit of rain. Ben, we need that rain. They keep talking about restricting the water. But we will talk about this a little later about using water and waste to save it given it is going to be so hot. More of us planting things as well. First world problem. We will be back with their headlines. Now it is time for their headlines. Now it is time for the film review. Hello and welcome to the film review with me, mark kermode, rounding up the best movies now available for viewing in the home. The most high profile release of the week is the high note, a musical drama that clearly wants to be a star is born, although for me it could easily have been called a star is a bit boring. Margaret hi. What do you think of this . Do you think its too booby . Mm, yes. 0h. Perfect. You can go. Dakota johnson is maggie, personal assistant to fading diva superstar grace davis, played with gusto by tracee ellis ross, daughter of diana ross, and star of the tv show blackish. Music plays. Maggies tasks are menial but she has her sights set on becoming a producer either for grace, whose music shes remix on the quiet, or for the young musical prodigy she met in the local Grocery Store and is swapped clunkily scripted quips about don henley and sam cooke. Maggie. David. This is david, played by kelvin harrisonjr, who was so great in last years waves but has less chance to shine here. David is an enigma. A muso who busks his songs on the streets but lives in the kind of lavish pool laden pad that should be the lair of an International Rock star. Where does his wealth and musical talent come from and what will grace make of maggies new hook up . Hmm. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop im not going to tell you guys youre great if youre not great. Directed by nisha ganatra, who made the similarly so so Emma Thompson satire late night, the high note swings gently between the passably innocuous and the frankly ridiculous. Dishing up sub high fidelity conversations about the pros and cons of pop music interspersed with the kind of fanciful Music Production sequences that make 2006s wish fulfilment fantasy band slam look like a hard hitting warts and all rockumentary. You said you was going to listen to me this time. There were a couple of nice supporting performances, most notably from ice cube as graces managerjack. A man desperate for his client to accept a celine dion style residency in vegas, where he could have his cake and eat it both literally and metaphorically. You always walk away. Grace for all its vinyl loving hipster shtick, nothing in the high note rings true, leaving this forgettable fairytale to hit more bum notes than les dawson playing the piano, albeit without the crowd pleasing results. The high note is available to rent now. Altogether more adventurous is only the animals, a sinewy french mystery thriller based on a novel by colin niel, that you can catch on curzon home cinema. Knocking. Unfolding in non linear segments that flip back and forth in time, like tarantinos pulp fiction, the story follows a group of disparate characters whose lives, which variously play out in europe and africa, are somehow linked with the disappearance of a woman. In the Snowy Mountains of southern france, an illicit affair and an abandoned car seem to offer vital clues to murder most foul. But as director dominik moll, who made lemming, shifts the perspective of this chaptered story from one character to another, we realise that nothing is what it seems to us or to them. Like who you think i am, which came to uk streaming services in april, only the animals uses the anonymity of the internet as a key plot device in one of its many unravelling strands. This is ultimately a story about loneliness and about the way that people can interact at a distance without ever understanding the true nature or effect of their actions. Its also a damn good thriller, a riveting puzzle that will keep the audience guessing, visiting and revisiting events from different angles, allowing us to see only fragments of the picture until it all finally falls into place. The result may be massively contrived, but theres a touch of hitchcockian magic in the dramatic way this story is told. Dramatic storytelling was the stock in trade of mike wallace, the american tvjournalist who became infamous for his hard hitting interviews on shows like 60 minutes and whose life and times are chronicled in the documentary mike wallace is here. There is a new billionaire in town. Trumps the name. Donald trump is a major dealmaker, a swashbuckler. Donald, youre in your late 30s. Youve a0 years to live, minimum. Well, i hope youre right about that. What you going to do . Ah, there are a lot of things to do. You know, a fertile imagination and a good fertile mind, mike, its amazing its really amazing what can be thought up. Theres so many things to do. There is so much to be done. Politics . No, not politics. Starting out as a cheesy tv star who advertised cigarettes and golden fluffo shortening, wallace made his mark in the 19505 with night beat, a no holds barred interview show that proved to be ahead of time. You are not answering the specific question that i put. A decade later wallace was back in the spotlight on cbs, earning himself as a reputation as the most feared interrogator of his generation. Id like you to get out of here. It was wallaces combative style journalism or theatre and what were the demons that made him such a divisive figure . Told entirely through existing interviews, with no need for post hoc narration, israeli director avi belkins engrossing character study boasts a wealth of archival footage from goody early tv appearances through groundbreaking coverage of vietnam, watergate, the iran hostage crisis and beyond. Throughout we see wallace holding politicians and celebrities to account, whether its putin and Ayatollah Khomeini or kirk douglas and shirley maclaine. I am very pleased to receive you as my guest, mr wallace. Anyone who enjoyed Michael Manns to let thriller the insider, in which wallace was played by christopher plummer, will be intrigued by this docs brief account of the internecine struggles that delayed his interview with the Tobacco Industry whistleblowerjeffrey wigand, memorably portrayed by russell crowe. But the real revelations here are closer to home in wallaces account of his personal insecurities, anxieties, and struggles with depression. Its an engrossing portrait of a man, his profession, and his legacy. A legacy which, arguably, the way for both the best and the worst in modern tvjournalism. This is the news for the hour. What would you like to tell us about yourself . I dont know. Arent you like some big science girl . Tell me about science. A wannabe radio star trying to get a break at around the same time that mike wallace was making waves in the late 19505 is at the centre of the vast of night, an Award Winning indie pic that won the audience prize at the slamdance festival last year and is now available on amazon prime. Jake horowitz and Sierra Mccormick are High School Kids who respectively work in a small town new mexico Radio Station and telephone exchange. Number please . Hello . large objects holding over my land. One night strange noises and reports of something in the sky lead them into a Twilight Zone style tale that may involve the soviets or something more out of this world. Theyve come here before. They like this place. Framed as an episode of the paradox theatre tv show and filled with deliberately alienating devices, the vast of night is an audacious feature debut for director andrew patterson, who breathes strange new life into familiar older riffs. Plaudits too to cinematographer mi littin menz, who performs wonders with fluid camerawork following characters through streets, buildings, and car parks in breathlessly flowing fashion before coming to rest on their faces, knowing exactly when to move and when to just stay still. People are saying theres something in the sky. Yeah. 0k. From new mexico to south korea, where bong joon hos satirical class war masterpiece parasite finds two families from opposite ends of the economic spectrum haunting each others lives. Designed with the same architectural elegance as the astonishing home in which much of the action plays out, this note perfect gem became the first film made entirely in a Foreign Language to win the oscar for best picture. Its now available both digitally and on disc, with the limited Edition Steelbook blu ray including the black and white version of the film, which bong first unveiled at the rotterdam Film Festival earlier this year. While parasite was hailed as the best film of last year, ill leave you with something from the movie widely considered to be the worst. Spotlight and a drum roll please. And so maybe my home isnt what i had known. What i thought it would be. Adapted from a long running stage show hit, cats drew hearty boos on screen, even after director tom hooper tried to appease viewers with upgraded cgi fur effects. Not even a star studded cast including judi dench, idris elba, taylor swift, and rebel wilson could convince people to pay for this turkey, which was reported to have lost over 100 million in cinemas. Alone and haunted. Maybe itll make some of that back on disc and download. Or maybe not. Thats it for this week. Thanks for watching the film review. Stay safe and ill be back next week with more home viewing treats. Right, well, thats not going to work, is it . Hiss. Thats what i say to you. Hiss. Hello. This is breakfast with ben thompson and sally nugent. Good morning to you. We will bring you up to date with a summary of this mornings news. Theres been another night of violent clashes in cities across the United States, as protests continue following the death of an unarmed black man while being detained by police. Curfews have been ordered in cities including los angeles, atlanta, and philadelphia. There were also demonstrations outside the white house. We can now speak to Kristen Clarke whos a civil rights lawyer. She joins us from washington, dc. Thank you so much for talking to us. Can you just, first of all, for our viewers here in the uk, explain what its like watching the news in america this at the moment . Its like watching the news in america this at the moment . There is tremendous rage across the country right now. From coast to uprisings in cities across our country. Enlarged but these are people who are demonstrating a protesting and saying enough is enough when it comes to Police Violence in our country that has gone for too long unchecked. And the death of a man in minneapolis who was unarmed, who died underneath the knee of a Police Officer who kept his knee therefore five minute there for five minutes has his knee therefore five minute there forfive minutes has been his knee therefore five minute there for five minutes has been the Tipping Point for so many people across the country. What it speaks to is the fact that we are a nation crying out, crying out for reform, crying out, crying out for reform, crying out, crying out for reform, crying out for justice, crying out, crying out for reform, crying out forjustice, crying out for long overdue reform of the way in which Police Officers carry out their work in our communities because too often we have seen the deaths of unarmed African Americans. Youve talked about the news spreading coast to coast in the United States, we are seeing low pictures at the moment from seattle, where we know there have been protests late tonight there. How did the anger spread from city to city . Well, in a way theres a perfect storm of events thats happening right now. We have a0 million americans who are out of a job because of the economic crisis that is gripping the country in the wake of the pandemic. Over 105,000 americans have lost their lives as a result of the covid pandemic. And pile on top of that Police Violence and Police Brutality that has gone unchecked for far too long and people are now saying that enough is enough and people are taking to the streets as a way of expressing their outrage, their anger, their frustration, their sense of desperation. And all of these controversies and crises, the pandemic, the unemployment crisis, Police Violence are crises that have a particularly stark impact on African Americans and a particularly stark impact on african america ns and people a particularly stark impact on African Americans and people of colour. So they are the ones that are at the forefront of these marches that are happening from coast to coast. People are sick and tired and in dire need of reform. What you make of those pleas are from some in georgia, for example, against the protests, asking for the protest to stop . Inaudible. We have seen damage to property, weve seen businesses that have been burnt out. And i do think thats u nfortu nate, we burnt out. And i do think thats unfortunate, we cant condone violence. But it should not overs ha d ow violence. But it should not overshadow the core message and the central objective here, which is to shine a light on a crisis thats gone unaddressed for too long in our country. Police violence perpetrated against innocent unarmed African Americans by against innocent unarmed african america ns by officers against innocent unarmed African Americans by officers who are far too rarely held accountable for their actions. Kristen clarke, thank you very much indeed. That is Kristen Clarke from the National Lawyers committee for civil rights under law. Talking to us from washington this morning. Sport could be back. Polly has some details. Eventually with some caveats. What could be taking place . I feel like caveats. What could be taking place . Ifeel like go should caveats. What could be taking place . I feel like go should have a party popova or something. After three long months, the wait is almost over. The government used its briefing yesterday to announce a series of guidelines around how sport can safely return in england from tomorrow. Therell be no fans of course and there are some rules around social distancing with testing required too. Dont expect to switch on the tv and see the premier league, rugby, or cricket on tomorrow. Youll be disappointed. For most sporting bodies this is really about getting the ball rolling. The deputy chief medical officer Jonathan Van Tam was asked whether he felt the return of sport could lead to spreading the virus. The actual return of elite sport is something that will be a nice fillip to us all after the lockdown at a psychological level, but i dont think its in any way is relevant to a conversation. So i mentioned therell be no Major Team Sports on your tvs from tomorrow, but horse racing fans are in luck. The first competitive action will be at newcastle racecourse tomorrow afternoon. Ten races are on the racecard with all them limited to 12 starters. There will be a total of 18 meetings in the first eight days of racing. Theres been no racing in britain since the 17th of march. It feels like an age ago. The other one to look out for snooker, which is also back tomorrow. The Championship League events to be staged behind closed doors at the marshall arena in milton keynes. The venue has been chosen because it has on site accommodation, meaning everyone involved in the tournament can stay there. All players and staff will be tested before entering the venue, and will be kept in isolation until results are known. We wont know its the right time until we go back and hopefully there is no sort of repercussions from it. But ive read all the details that are going to be put in place and im sort of on a Commission Committee for snooker and inu a lot of has gone on behind the scenes and im pretty confident that they have done everything that they can and im ona everything that they can and im on a lot. Remember footballs been back under way in germany for a couple of weeks. Bayern munich took a step closer to an eighth consecutive title with a 5 0 over dusseldorf. And what a season it has been for robert lewandowski. A3 goals in all competitions in this extended season. He got two yesterday what a finish here on his second. Thats four goals in four games now for him since the league returned. Still a long time to wait before the olympics, of course. Tokyo 2020 will take place next summer. Dina asher smith is one of the favourites but the 200 metres World Champion says the postponement of this years event has in many ways been liberating for her and has actually taken off a lot of pressure. This is kind of a psychological break because with this rejig of the next four years for us, so now weve got olympics in 2021, a World Championships, not World Championships, not World Championships, and another olympics in 202a and we got various europeans, Commonwealth Games at home, and we got so many different things. The next four years, this cross, touch wood, are going to be really busy and really exciting. Before that period, you know, sometimes its good to take stock, ta ke sometimes its good to take stock, take a step back. If you fancy reliving the moment dina won gold at the World Championships last year, theres a documentary on bbc one at three oclock this afternoon featuring her and her fellow Gold Medal Winning Team mate Katarina Johnson thompson. Its called how dina and kat struck world gold. It isa it is a great watch. There is a brilliant clip doing the rounds of Kristen Clarke dina talk about her training. Kristen clarke dina talk about hertraining. In one Kristen Clarke dina talk about her training. In one of the team enzed are instagram posts. She is quite enjoying the lockdown teammates. When she was talking about a bit of Long Distance it is not the same Long Distance for us. Thanks for that, holly. Just approaching 6 a0. Itll be a significant day for thousands of children in england tomorrow as they go back to Primary School for the First Time Since march. Nurseries, pre school and reception classes are allowed to re sta rt as well as years one and six. The exact rules will vary, but there are examples to follow in europe. The netherlands was one of the first countries to send pupils back, and anna holligans been to see how its working at a school in one of the worst hit regions. Six months ago we never heard of it. Now six year old can sketch coronavirus molecules from memory. Little bacteria bugs that make you sick stop thats corona. Translation i know about it from the news, my girlfriends, and the teacher. For these pupil at springboard primary going back to school comes with five new rules. Only pupils and teachers are allowed inside. Scrub every time you enter the building. Theres one of these pumps at every entrance. Use shields designed to reduce the spread of germs. New groups must attend on different days. In some schools that have split the classes to reduce the number of children in the building. Older pupils from ages six missed a 1. 5 metres away from their teachers. These are lessons they hope will save lives. For the younger ones practically nothing has changed. But teachers like miss daisy are working behind the scenes. I think its very important for the children that everything is as normal as possible. We have some new things, new rules into the schools, but the most important is that they are happy and they get comforts and they can be a child. This feels unusually relaxed, especially compared to elsewhere in europe. In belgium where the teachers are wearing visors, in denmark where the children cant hug their best friends. But here in the netherlands they believe the benefits of chill giving children this freedom outweigh the risks. At least 99 dutch Primary School teachers have tested positive for covid 19 so far this month. They are still monitoring the infection rates. So the hospital admissions, theissue rates. So the hospital admissions, the issue with these two measurements is that its quite late in the chain of events after an infection occurs, so wed rather look at things like the number of gp visits, the number of positive tests, because thats a little bit earlier in that same chain. But in all these different sources we dont see an effect on the school opening. Every one of these peoples told us they are happy to be back in class. Something to celebrate. Theyre starting to find a way to live and learn through the pandemic. Anna holligan, bbc news. So any of those children who may be going back to School Tomorrow might wa nt to going back to School Tomorrow might want to make the most of the weather today, because it is going to be pretty nice. Ben has all the details. Today could be one of the hottest days of the year so far. Possibly. We have had temperatures already have the last few days up to 28 degrees in northern scotland. That was on friday. Probably not going to get a desire is that today but what we do have is a lot of sunshine and it is a very promising start to the final day of may if you do like sunshine. Thats how it looked in south devon for one of our weather watchers. Warm and sunny foremost but as we start off there are some contrasts. This is the vale of york this morning. Lots of low cloud and fog here. You can pick that up on our satellite image, was of north east england, scotland had that low cloud mist and fog around at the moment. Its identically pretty quickly through this morning, over the next couple of hours, then as we go through today we are looking at long spells of sunshine. I think we will see a bit of patrick leao, fair weather cloud across parts of england and wales and maybe high cloud at times turning the sunshine hazy in Northern Ireland and scotland. But like yesterday a noticeable easterly breeze, particularly noticeable if youre spending your day close to north sea coast. 17 in aberdeen this afternoon, but with some shelter from that when in inverness more like 25. Western counties of Northern Ireland getting up to 2a degrees as well. Parts of the east coast of england, 16 for bridlington, parts of north east, 25 in liverpool. Maybe North Cornwall could see highs of 26, possibly 27 degrees. As we had through this evening, some sunshine to end the day. Then overnight it is dry with clear spells. I think we will see some of that low cloud and fog developing across eastern scotland, parts of north east england into youras parts of north east england into your as well temperatures 7 12 degrees. For tomorrow is a spot the difference really. We start off with out early low power, it may be slow to clear four parts of eastern scotla nd to clear four parts of eastern scotland and north east england tomorrow. A greater chance of seeing a bit of patchy cloud developing through the day full up and may maybe just the odd shower for scotla nd maybe just the odd shower for scotland and for Northern Ireland later on. But it is another warm day with this temperatures up to 25 26 degrees. So that first day ofjune. But after that winds begin to change. This frontal system will put in from the north. We havent had one of these for a little while and it will start to bring outbreaks of rain southwards across scotland as we go through tuesday. And watch closely, see the winds behind that rainband, they come down from the north. That will bring something cooler. Further south, north. That will bring something cooler. Furthersouth, Northern Ireland, england, wales, another sunny and warm day, 27 in london. The cool air will sink southwards to all of us as we head towards the middle of the week. Back to you. Were going to focus on only children for the next few minutes, with a warning from the nspcc this morning that lockdown has been particularly tough for children without siblings. There are more than 3. 5 million only children in the uk and for them lockdown has meant lots of time with mum and dad and plenty of solo play. Tomos morgans been to meet a couple of one child families in cardiff. I have watched him go up every day. But he does need to be with his friends as well. Since the middle of march, this eight year old has been enjoying quarantine life at home in cardiff with dad, jason. We bump into friends when we go on the bike. As an only child, the only children he has seen since lockdown arrive his friends at a distance or on line which is not quite as good as normal. Every kid, if you see your friend, hugo, cani normal. Every kid, if you see your friend, hugo, can i go and play with them . You go. It is really annoying because you cannot go and play with them. I want to but i cant. It is hard. The always free and a half million of single children in the uk. Crucially, even though we may be able to meet outside, it is still at a social distance which means children will not be able to play with each other in person as the two metre rule remains in place. It is particularly isolating for only children who are struggling with the lack of social interaction with their friends, being in school, and they can go on line and maybe play virtually but that does not replace the physical contact. Because i am an only child, lam kind contact. Because i am an only child, i am kind of used to it. But when i have time to think about it, it is more lonely, kind of. Between football and play international basketball, daniel would usually see friends every day of the week but not anymore. Ijust friends every day of the week but not anymore. I just want to meet friends every day of the week but not anymore. Ijust want to meet up with loads of them but obviously we are not allowed to stop it is quite boring because i do not have siblings or anything to annoy and play with. His mother has kept him engaged with schoolwork, scrabble and sports training. He is dealing with it really well and he is good at keeping himself amused but, in the long term, that is not good. Although any child to be experiencing loneliness during lockdown, the best way is to share your emotions. Share how you are feeling, with your mum and dad or your carer. Quality time with pa rents your carer. Quality time with parents has made lockdown easier but sometimes nothing can replace a kick about with friends. Tomos morgan, bbc news. And the best way to stay in touch is on your xbox or playstation. Great excuse. You do feel for them. It has been tough for so many people, especially kids especially without siblings. Tough on that mum is an dance. I have been living it so i know it all too well. Well be back with the headlines at seven oclock. Now its time for coronavirus what next . With victoria derbyshire. Hello and welcome to the latest in our special programmes on the coronavirus pandemic. Im victoria derbyshire. On todays programme, we hear from Frontline Health workers on theirfears of a second wave of covid 19 infections. Plus, how a team of scientists is trying to work out why coronavirus affects different people in such extreme ways. And, you can always keep up to date with the latest information about the pandemic on our website. First, the World Health Organization has warned of a second peak of coronavirus cases if lockdown restrictions around the world are lifted too soon. The threat of a possible second wave puts Frontline Healthcare workers under further pressure in many countries. The bbc has been given unprecedented access to one hospital in a community in the heart of london who have been coping with the pandemic, to hear their fears about the possibility of a second wave. The bbcs clive myrie reports from the royal london in Tower Hamlets in east london, with cameraman David Mcilveen and producer sam piranty. Its in times of crisis we find out who we really are. Ive felt broken on many occasion and i think a lot of my colleagues have. When souls are laid bare. In this time of coronavirus, one hospital and one community reflect on these troubled times. Coming upforairto reveal their souls to us. We saw the fragility of life. This guys not going to survive. Yeah. Lets call the family. Im going to take out your tube now. We saw its strength. Gasping for air. How does that feel . And all the while, one fear looms, another peak of infections to rival the first. Dont be fooled by the gentle pace. Time is twisted here. On the royal London Hospitals coronavirus wards, while many patients inhabit ventilated worlds, of slow motion dreams and hallucinations, the doctors and nurses charged with bringing them back to life inhabit the real world where time moves too quickly, as this cruel disease eats away at human lungs with frightening speed. Can we just do a couple more suctions . But the medical staff, including consultant pj zolfaghari, have their own nightmares. Are you expecting a second wave . Yes, i mean, i have to say yes because i think once the lockdown is relaxed, people of course are going to have more contact with each other, so thats the way this is going to spread. But if the lockdown completely disappears, then i suspect that the cases willjust rapidly rise again. Then, as our interview ends, hes called away. Ill be two minutes. His two minutes turned into several agonising hours. I see youre working hard to ventilate him, arent you. We had permission from all the patients or their families to film. Krishnas vital signs have worsened. Hes just 55. Hes going to cause a bit of a problem here. And again go, go, go, go, go, go. The professionalism of the team is stunning, years of experience are gathered around this bed, as the duality of time, the drifting oblivious patient and the rush to save his life, merge into a tableau for our times. So, theres a final roll of the dice. So you guys, lift him up, ill push the pillows down. Ready . This is a last resort, maybe by turning him onto his front they can force air into his lungs, oxygen into his body, its all they can do. His lungs are just getting worse, theyre more inflamed again. And youve been preparing to talk to his family . Yes, thats right. Just to let you know, have you called the family yet . Sister becky smith, a presence on the covid ward for absent relatives. Their eyes and ears. Imagine this stress for the team multiplied every day for weeks. Now you understand what the peak of the pandemic was like. Sister Carlene Kelly bore witness to those dark days. Ive felt broken on many occasion and i think a lot of my colleagues have, it consumes you. Its what you think about when you go to bed, when you wake up, youre preparing for your next shift, youre relieved that the previous shift is over, youre sad. Its a huge emotional burden and its the time of our lives that we will never, ever forget. The peak almost broke minds and according to consultant nick bunker, almost broke the royal london. In normal times we manage about aa patients. At the peak we were managing just shy of 90 patients. Almost double. We were 20 beds away from being overrun. We were keeping people alive. Thats what our goal of care was, keep as many people alive as long as we can until we can get back to being able to deliver the quality of care that we always aspire to deliver. Sometimes its hard to find light in the darkness. But youre about to witness what medicine can do. Were going to take out your tube now. This is one of the defining moments in an intensive care unit. Give me a big puff, big puff. Thats it. When a patients ventilator tube is removed. Its a procedure full of expectation and dread. Will it work . Nice big puff again. Hes grimacing as the tube inches up his throat, and finally leaves his chest. Everythings ok, youre at the royal london hospital. The heavy breathing of a man given a second chance. But there are other defeats. Sadly, that evening, krishna died. Another soul, lost. As scientists and governments race to stop a second outbreak, one of the key questions being asked by medics is why some people get more severe symptoms than others. Its hoped some of the answers might lie in research being carried out by a team of scientists, clinicians and volunteers in cambridge. Richard westcott has this. Why does covid 19 put some people like George Gilbert here in hospital, yet others get no symptoms at all . How are you doing . Lovely. Thats good. Hes volunteered to help find out because part of the answer might lie in his blood. I didnt think there was any left. Once its sealed up, the bloods passed to volunteer ben. His medical research had to go on hold because the virus so hes set up a team that every day carries covid samples to be analysed. Ben, its quite an odd way to interview someone. It is, yes. How did you get involved in this . Id normally be working in the lab on pulmonary hypertension, a rare lung disease, and its quite frustrating because i cant do that so ijust e mailed my colleagues and asked how could i get involved, how could i help. Samples are taken to a brand new lab just around the count corner on the cambridge biomedical campus. Your blood contains cells that play a key role in fighting off the coronavirus. Some of them make antibodies, others directly kill infected cells, but do analyse them, first you have to separate them off. At the very bottom, we have the red blood cells that are the heaviest and go to the bottom of the tube. At the top, the plasma, the solution your blood flows in normally. Then we are looking at these white small band, that is the white blood cells fighting off your infection. Then it gets more complex. There are lots more types of white blood cells, playing different roles. So next door, a machine uses lasers to count how many you have got of each key type. It can then separate millions of them off for more tests. Incredibly, each blob here is a droplet of salty water with one cell inside. 260 addenbrookes patients and staff are giving their blood for this research. Some got very sick, some didnt. The key question for scientists, can you see the difference in their blood . Weve found a number of severe abnormalities in patients with advanced covid disease and some of those point very clearly to potential therapeutics that might impact on that disease. What were hoping is that when people develop symptoms that make them suspect they might have covid and get their very first test, when tests become more readily available, at that point we might be able to predict who might go want to get severe disease. By understanding the science of the disease, it is easier to find drugs to fight it. Thats it for now, you can follow me on twitter or head to the bbc news site for the latest information. Thank you so much for watching. Good morning. Welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and sally nugent. Our headlines today curfews across america as a fifth night of protests spread to more than 30 cities. Police cars are set on fire, riot officers respond with tear gas. Demonstrators converge on the white house in washington. The unrest follows the death of an African American man while being detained by police. After ten weeks at home, more than two Million People in england whove been shielding during lockdown, are told they can go outdoors three, two, one, zero, ignition. Lift off. Goes the falcon 9 and cruise dragon. Go nasa, go spacex. Godspeed, bob and doug. Nasa astronauts make history as they blast off towards the International Space station in a commercial rocket. Theyre due to dock this afternoon. After three months of waiting, elite sport is set to return. Behind closed doors and under strict regulations, the first major events begin in england from tomorrow. Good morning. Its dry, warm, and sunny for the final day of may. But the first few days ofjune will bring a change. Something cooler and possibly wetter on the way. Details later on breakfast. Good morning. Its sunday 31st may. Our top story there have been further protests across the United States, after the death of an unarmed black man who was being detained by police. There have been demonstrations in at least 30 cities, with police cars set on fire and riot police clashing with protestors. Curfews have also been introduced after a fifth night of violence. Our north america correspondent david willis reports from los angeles. This was the night america rose up in protest. Angry, destructive protest aimed at the police and their treatment of racial minorities. Curfews were imposed in more than a dozen american cities, but they were ignored. Many of those protests had started peacefully. We cant breathe the mantra of a movement that has taken George Floyds final words and turn them into a rallying cry. I cannot breathe. Mr fleet was captured on video grasping for breath and pleading for his life. The Police Officer seen with his knee on mr floyds nick is now facing murder and manslaughter charges about that has done little to abate the anger and calls are growing for the three other officers involved in his arrest to also be brought to justice. Neck. In minneapolis, the states governor had promised a muscular, no nonsense response after five days of writing that left burned out buildings and ransacked stores. But despite activating thousands more National Guard officers and firing tear gas grenades, demonstrations continued along with the violence. It was a similar story in the countrys second largest city, los angeles, where summer like and these are scenes of unrest to the rodney king riots which raised part of the city to the ground nearly 30 years ago. Like george floyd, rodney king was a victim of Police Brutality caught on camera. Police fired rubber bullets after protesters ignored them mares desperate plea for calm. President trump said the us military was ready, willing, and able to deploy if the unrest continued. A potent cocktail of factors are at play here. The coronavirus pandemic has thrown a0 million americans out of work and trashed a once point economy. People have been cooped up indoors for months as a result. Some knowing it may be months if not yea rs before knowing it may be months if not years before they get theirjobs back. David willis, bbc news, los angeles. More than two million medically Vulnerable People in england, who have been shielding at home since the start of lockdown, will be allowed to spend Time Outdoors from tomorrow. The updated government guidance means they can go outside with someone they live with, or meet a person from another household if they live alone. Our Political Correspondent chris mason has more details. This is what the beach in bournemouth looked like yesterday and, in london, this was regents park and this was primrose hill. But not everyones been able to take advantage of some of the restrictions easing in recent weeks. The clinically most vulnerable to the virus, who were asked to shield, have been stuck at home all day every day for around ten weeks. This morning, for the more than 2 Million People in england in this situation, big news. From tomorrow you can head out with others in your household or, if you live on your own, with one other person from another household. Why, though, is this now deemed safe . Ministers say its because fewer people have the virus, meaning the average chance of catching it is down from one in a0 to one in 1000. The big challenge for the government and for all of us is managing the risk posed by the virus alongside tentatively tiptoeing back towards normality. What you to those scientists and others who say that youre easing the lockdown in england too quickly . I believe and youll recall i was at the podium when the disease activity was very high in the uk and i said was a very dangerous moment. I believe this is also a very dangerous moment. Professor van tam knows how to turn a phrase and make a point. He was also asked direct about dominic cummings, the Prime Ministers gresini advisor who, among other things, drove 50 miles to test his eyesight during the lockdown. The rules are clear and they have always been clear. In my opinion they are for the benefit of all and in my opinion they apply to all. Ouch. The Prime Ministers team had nothing to say when i asked for their response to this. Instead, theirfocus is on how more people in england can slowly edge out of the lockdown. Chris mason, bbc news. The labour mp, rosie duffield, has apologised for breaching lockdown restrictions and has resigned as a party whip. The mp for canterbury met her partner for a walk last month while they were living separately. She said theyd been trying to navigate a difficult personal situation as responsibly as possible, but in doing so had breached the guidelines. There was a big moment in the history of space travel last night as two nasa astronauts blasted off from Cape Canaveral in a privately funded rocket. Doug hurley and bob behnken are on their way to the International Space station in a craft thats been built by spacex, the Company Owned by the billionaire elon musk. Our correspondent jane obrien reports from florida. Three, two, one, zero. Ignition. Lift off. Of the falcon 9 and cruise dragon. Go nasa, go spacex. Godspeed. As the countdown reached single digits, the clouds broke, the sky cleared and the first spacex rocket carrying humans into space lifted off. Astronauts bob behnken and doug hurley are now in orbit, heading for the International Space station. Travelling at a 17,000 miles an hour, they should arrive in as much time as it takes to fly from new york to sydney. Right now, everything continuing to look good. The astronauts are the first to launch from us soil in almost a decade after nasa retired its shuttle programme. Since then, russia has provided transport to the International Space station. The multibillion dollar deal with spacex is intended to reduce the cost of human space flight, including landing on the moon and eventually taking people to mars. I think this is something that should really get people, i mean, right in the heart of anyone who has any spirit of exploration. Yeah, really quite overcome with emotion this day. Its kind of hard to talk, frankly. Been 18 years working towards this goal, so. Its hard to believe that its happened. Those of us who saw the spectacular and unforgettable lift off this afternoon watched more than an act of history, we watched an act of heroism. We wish them godspeed on theirjourney and as one proud nation, we salute their fearless service, thank you, thank you. Thank you. Applause. The shuttles reusable falcon 9 rocket has already been retrieved at sea by a drone ship. Radio im going to kind of do a side spin. When the capsule returns to earth, splashing down off the coast of florida, it too will be recovered and reused. After all the nail biting excitement of the launch itself, its easy to forget that the astronauts still have some work to do, but Spacex Mission control says everythings going well so far and theyve already carried out their first manual flight tests. Jane obrien, bbc news, at the Kennedy Space centre. One of the most recognisable voices on childrens tv, the thomas the tank engine narrator Michael Angelis has died. Careful, thomas, called his driver. But it was too late. Thats done it, we shant get any further today. Michael, who was 68, narrated the classic thomas stories for more than 20 years. He was also an accomplished actor, appearing in a string of comedies and dramas including the liver birds, auf wiedersehen, pet, and boys from the blackstuff. It is ten past seven. Good morning to you. This is breakfast from bbc news. Theres growing pressure on the government to reduce the two metre social distancing rule to one metre, to allow pubs and restaurants to accommodate more people when theyre eventually allowed to reopen. Its been reported that some senior conservative mps are also putting pressure on the Prime Minister to change the advice. But speaking earlier this week borisjohnson reiterated that the two metre gap remains the rule for now. The advice from sage remains at the moment that there is a very considerable reduction in risk at jew metres. My own hope and this is what i hope we can get, my own hope is that as we make progress in getting the virus down, and reducing the incidence, that we will be able to reduce that distance, which i think will be particularly valuable on transport and clearly in the hospitality sector. Lets talk about the hospitality sector. Lukejohnson is a former chairman of pizza express. Mrjohnson, good morning to you. I know you like to see that two metre rule reduced. Explain to me the significance for hospitality, particularly things like restaurants and bars. In pubs and restaurants, if you have to have two metre distance between customers, frankly, i would estimate half to two thirds of those outfits cannot possibly function. So they cant function. So they will probably have to go bust, depending how long social distancing ta kes depending how long social distancing takes place. And that will lead to potentially hundreds of thousands more people unemployed, whereas i think if you reduce it to one metre, which is the rule they have in places like austria, norway, france, and finland, i think is going to be more like 50 70 of pubs and cafes and more like 50 70 of pubs and cafes a nd restau ra nts more like 50 70 of pubs and cafes and restaurants that can open and be viable. Now the reason that the two metre rule is initially in place, and this coming from the medical advice, suggesting that at two metres means you are not counted as a contact. So if you are to metres away from someone, perhaps at a restau ra nt, away from someone, perhaps at a restaurant, and then they turn out to have coronavirus, you are not counted as a contact on the on that to metres. Let us wait is in place. Anything less than that, according to the medical advice, would potentially be dangerous. Possibly. Lots of things are dangerous. Driving to a restaurant might be dangerous. The fact is that who, the World Health Organization, recommend one metre. And it seems to me we are now in the phase of this pandemic where we have to take very seriously the consequences of unilateral destruct destruction ofjobs, unemployment, mental illness, suicide, and other misery and damage to our well being that that will cause. And we have to be reasonable about these things and there are millions of people employed in hospitality. Its a very important industry. And i think we need to get things in balance and i think one metre, which has been adopted by a number of other countries and is recommended by the who, seems to be the right number. Just to talk about one metre versus the right number. Just to talk about one metre versus two metre, because thatis one metre versus two metre, because that is the crux of all of this, this coming from sir patrick vallance, saying to metres is safe, slightly less is less safe. He said ata slightly less is less safe. He said at a meeting it is between ten and 30 times more risky than a two metres and they absolutely take your point that clearly the Hospitality Industry, employing millions, a huge pa rt industry, employing millions, a huge part of the Service Sector industry and who is important for the economy, but when were talking about ten to 30 times risky clearly that advice is important someone that advice is important someone that the Hospitality Industry and others need to take on board. We all wa nt to others need to take on board. We all want to be safe all the time, but why is it that france, for example, a very sensible country where im sure they take safety and the risks from the disease very seriously, has decided that one metre is sufficient or indeed the who . Are they all wrong . Lets talk about the logistics of restaurants and bars. We know a lot of organisations are trying to work out how they can accommodate this at two metres or, perhaps, even less. What are the penge west, what are the real issues in restaurants and bars . The real issues are about people sitting down at tables, because they believe that the risks are, in terms of transmission of the disease, when people are situated for longer periods close to others stop and so its about how many seats, how many ta bles its about how many seats, how many tables you can actually get in an area. And the number of seats and ta bles area. And the number of seats and tables reduces very dramatically between one and two metres in virtually all outlets. So, as i say, a two metre distance makes a high proportion, almost two thirds of all pubs and restaurants in this country utterly unviable in terms of business. You have a minimum fixed cost and it just business. You have a minimum fixed cost and itjust doesnt business. You have a minimum fixed cost and it just doesnt work at two metres, im afraid. It is still not full capacity and many it is still not full capacity and ma ny restau ra nts it is still not full capacity and many restaurants and bars operate with small margins and they need to have them fall. Does the one metre make them any more viable . M have them fall. Does the one metre make them any more viable . It will still be too difficult for some but an improvement is better than nothing on one of the points about business is that it is adaptable and we will do our best to survive. It isa we will do our best to survive. It is a very hard at the moment and there are an awful lot of people and businesses worried about theirjob and worried about going bankrupt but entrepreneurs by the nature do not give up and i think it is important that we try to accommodate within the rules, keep customers safe and give them the pleasure of eating and drinking out which i believe millions of britons are missing out. It is an important part of our life, we are social animals after all, and we are social animals after all, and we deserve this after a long period of luck down. The former chairman, thank you for talking to us. And speaking about allowing one metre perhaps as opposed to the current two metre distance advice. Hence. Coming up injust a moment, we will be talking about some children due to go back tomorrow. We will talk to a School Governor and head teacher about how they feel that will work and how many children they expect back into the classroom. That is coming up after we have spoken to ben, who has all the weather. Good morning to you. It is the last day of may and it is more of the say, more dry weather and sunshine. Warm and sunny sums things up for today but, at the moment, across parts of north east england and scotland, this is the scene greeting you. This is york a short time ago. Areas of low cloud and fog affecting eastern parts. They will tend to clear away quickly from the morning. Over the next couple of hours and then a long spells of sunshine through the day. A bit of Patrick Fairweather cloud across england and wales. Fairweather cloud. If youre spending the day close to the north sea coast, 70 degrees in aberdeen but 25 in inverness. Warm for north west england but for north east england, again, the caulfield where you are exposed to the breeze. Parts of wales with the highest temperatures. Through this evening and tonight, it stays fine and dry foremost with clear spells but we will continue to see areas of low and fog across some coasts of eastern scotland and eastern england. Not a particularly chilly night. Tomorrow, spot the difference. Some long spells of sunshine and another long day with temperatures widely into the 20s. Change is coming in the weather this week. But the garden needs a bit of rain. And we will talk about advice about using water later on. Primary schools re open in england tomorrow for the First Time Since march. Children in nurseries, early years, and reception classes are allowed to go back along with years one and six but its not mandatory to attend. The government wants all Primary School children back in class before the Summer Holidays, but School Governors want them to drop that plan because they say its putting pressure on schools and creating uncertainty for parents. Heres our education editor, bra nwen jeffreys. Schools in england have been getting ready, making it safe to take more children. Some will start opening tomorrow. School governors, many pa rents tomorrow. School governors, many parents signing off the plans. More than 2300 governors in england responded to bbc questions. It gives usa responded to bbc questions. It gives us a snapshot on School Reopening. Around half say their School Reopening from monday. Others opening later in june. Reopening from monday. Others opening later injune. About a third safe pupils will be part time, with some closing for a deep clean once a week. Three quarters say taking further pupils was unlikely before the Summer Holidays. The School Governors Association Says ministers should drop those plans. It is highly unlikely, in fact, i would go further is that it is not possible for all Primary School pupils to have a month of education in school before the Summer Holidays. For School Governors, so many questions and worries about getting it right. As governing bodies, we are volunteers, not experts in education and medicine so we need good guidance and we really struggled to apply a standard Risk Assessment matrix to this situation despite the fa ct matrix to this situation despite the fact that, as government body, we are likely lucky to have some expertise. Parents can choose whether to send their child, plans for all primary pupils to get lessons by summer under review. Branwen jeffreys, bbc news. We heard from emma knights from the National Governance association in bra nwyns report, shes with us now. As is kerry hill who is head of the Eyres Monsell Primary School in leicestershire. We got a little bit of an impression about what you think from that report. Why is it so challenging for teachers and schools to welcome back Primary School children before the Summer Holidays . What are your objections . School leaders and governing boards have been planning incredibly carefully and thoroughly over the past few weeks in order to open up. Some tomorrow and others later on. For the three years being invited back in. That has taken a huge amount of thought, reflection, reassessment, as things change, so the idea now that, within three weeks, all of Primary School children could be back at school absolutely does not seem feasible. Currently, the guidance is maximum of 15 children in one group so most primer schools simply do not have enough classrooms to manage that. Primary school. Something dramatically would have to happen under the science and medical front in order to allow all children back to the classroom so i am really pleased if the government is saying it is reviewing that ambition to have everybody back for four weeks. It would be a lot better for all concerned, both the staff, the governing boards, the leaders who we re governing boards, the leaders who were trying to make things happen safely, but also for parents who are planning ahead for what is possible for their own families. At this point, let bring in a head teacher. Tell us your situation at your school. Youre not planning open tomorrow . No, we are not. We have utilised the independent sage report that came out and the chartered couege that came out and the chartered college of teaching reports on School Closures and we made the decision to follow that guidance and are not open until the 15th ofjune when it is suggested that risks are halved by then. That is the advice we are following but we are one of those schools considering that day will be close so we can carry out additional cleaning on a day of the week. Allowing extra confidence to our parents that we are doing absolutely everything we can to keep their children and absolutely everything we can to keep theirchildren and our absolutely everything we can to keep their children and our staff say. wa nted their children and our staff say. wanted to ask you about that, how are you putting measures in place, what changes are you having to make to the school to allow it to happen on the 15th or beyond . The first thing to say is that every school is different, every school is unique so what were putting in place, because of levels of staffing that we have, the layout in our school, will be very different from school to school and area to area. Parents know that classes have to be reduced back to 15 as classes have to be reduced back to 15asa classes have to be reduced back to 15 as a maximum. In our classrooms we cannot even fit 15 in and still observe social distancing so we are having to apply less than that. We have a one way system on our side, we re have a one way system on our side, were removing toys, tables, soft furnishing, anything that could potentially be a contact transition has to be thoroughly removed. In terms of the logistic and rearranging the entire school and having the available stuff to come in and take all those groups has been incredibly challenging, as well as the logistics of how are we going to do regular cleaning across the day and, as i mentioned, putting in any extra safety net, if you like, of closing mid week so that we are going 48 hours before we know we are doing another thorough clamp to then open backup to pupils on thursday and friday stop it is for us not just about the safety of minimising risks but we know parents are scared, they are anxious, our staff are worried and were to put in place as much of that to put trust and confidence back to our parents and confidence back to our parents and staff saying we are doing absolutely everything we can to keep everybody as safe as possible. Thinking about parents who do want their children to go back to school, nevermind those who need their children to go back to school so they can go back to school. Do you welcome the idea of a Part Time School existence where some of the week is teaching and another day is to cleaning the premises . week is teaching and another day is to cleaning the premises . I really wa nt to cleaning the premises . I really want parents, and carersjust to realise how much care and thought has gone into opening schools so that they can be safe for their children and i think it is a good idea if schools are given that discretion now, that School Leaders and governing boards check those assessments School Leaders are making so that we can see what works in each school. As you have heard, they are different, their premises, their staffing, the communities are different. So schools need to be able to do what is a safe and their environment. Absolutely, if schools need to close for deep cleaning, that makes a lot of sense. That is one of the four areas that the medical advice has assessed that schools need to be looking at, along with other things the general public know about which is frequent hand washing, minimising contact between groups of students, mixing, so, cleaning is part of the issues that schools will be dealing with and making sure that they can do it safely for children. Thank you both very much indeed. We have talked about the health and Economic Issues and about schools but what about holidays . Lots of people are still wondering whats going to happen to their Summer Holidays. Some countries are starting to open up their borders again, but that doesnt necessarily mean that we can travel there. The official advice from the Foreign Office also remains in place, that advises against all but essential International Travel. Simon calders here, hes travel editor at the independent. Simon, its not going to be easy to get people moving internationally again is it . When will International Travel resume . If you are at Heathrow Airport you will see it resumes in a few minutes when British Airways flight few minutes when British Airways flight to lisbon. Howeverfor a meaningful holiday for fun, a flight to lisbon. Howeverfor a meaningful holiday forfun, a huge impediment in the Foreign Office advice against non essential travel. I expect that to be revised this week. There are still vast parts of the world, for example india, it extended its lockdown so nobody will be going on holiday to india for the next month but large parts of europe, particularly where restrictions are being eased, and that will change but a week tomorrow with and have quarantine coming in and that would mean anybody from the uk who goes on holiday who arrives back from the eighth ofjune on was will need to self isolate and really quite stringent circumstances are for two weeks and there is talk of various for two weeks and there is talk of various average for two weeks and there is talk of various average solutions, a bilateral deal with another country, portugal, spain, france and so on to avoid that but initially my understanding is that for the first three weeks it will effectively stop travel plans. If someone from this country travels to spain and portugal are one of those countries, it was still have to quarantine for 14 it was still have to quarantine for 1a days . It was still have to quarantine for 14 days . The idea would be that, from three weeks on words, from roughly the end of this month, you would actually, if you are going to spain, france, greece, other countries, to turkey, they would have signed a deal that you would not need to self isolate. There would still be countries from which you did. The travel industry which is 100 against quarantine does not expect quarantine in a meaningful sense to last beyond the end of june. Travellers have no idea when it is going to. The government made clear it is open ended so people are first of all are willing to book and secondly the millions of us who have holidays booked betweenjuly and august simply do not know if well be able to go on trips because clearly the most people being in solitary confinement for two weeks when you come back, however lovely holiday might be, is not really a great deal. So thats whether or not people in britain can travel for the holidays. How many countries on the continent would welcome a tourist from britain, because it is not everybody, isnt it . Surprising numbers do given that we cant travel just yet. Numbers do given that we cant traveljust yet. Croatia, was talking to their director of tourism and they said no problem at all, all you need is an accommodation voucher to show you are booked somewhere and you can come in. Italy, and oh so your great report on the Leaning Tower of pisa earlier, they are opening up from the third ofjune, making things quite a lot easier. And then the rest of europe kind of list lifts on the 15th ofjune, the eternal barriers, which pretty much everyone is looking at the first ofjuly when tourism begins in earnest. But there are some countries, including greece, cyprus, malta, which have said, actually, looking at the infection rates in the uk, we are not too keen on perhaps having british travellers here. And there will be possibly a two speed start to tourism. Another places, madeira, for instance, says you are welcome to arrive from the first ofjuly onwards, but everybody who touches down is going to have to have a covid 19 test and wait at the airport until we find out if you are infected or not. Simon, there are so many questions on this subject. Its what everyone is talking about at the moment. Simon will be taking on viewer questions about travel in the of coronavirus on the bbc news channel at 3 oclock this afternoon. Sendin send in your questions. They know there are tons of them. Simon will a nswer there are tons of them. Simon will answer them for you. Stay with us, headlines coming up. Hello. Good morning. This is breakfast with ben thompson and sally nugent. Lets get a summary of our main story from bbc news right now. Theres been another night of violent clashes in cities across the United States, as protests continue following the death of an unarmed black man while being detained by police. Curfews have been ordered in cities including los angeles, atlanta and philadelphia. There were also demonstrations outside the white house. Our north america correspondent david willis is in los angeles, he says the protests there have brought back painful memories for the city. The local police chief, michael moore, like in the scenes over the last 24 hours to those of the rodney king riot, some nearly 30 years ago also. But of course was an incident sparked by Police Brutality in the course of arresting an unarmed black man, the activities caught on camera, just as they were, of course, with george floyd. But a lot of people here wondering now how much longer this violence will go on. This is the fifth night and we have a variety of factors that at play here. We have 40 million americans who, of course, have lost theirjobs since the coronavirus pandemic came here. Weve had a lot of people who have been at home cooped up the long periods of time, add to all that those incendiary images of George Floyds arrest and death in the custody of a white Police Officers and you have the potential for just the sort of violence that weve seen across this country over the last few hours. These demonstrations were focused initially in the downtown area of los angeles, where a lot of the federal buildings, including the police department, are located. Now, more than 500 people were arrested and six officers were injured in those clashes on friday in the downtown area. The protesters moved toa downtown area. The protesters moved to a more midtown area, the fairfax district, as it is known, where there are a lot of high end shops, many of which were damaged and looted today, to the delight of many of the demonstrators. The confrontations between police and demonstrators are ongoing and are expected to continue for several hours yet. The state governor brought in thousands more National Guard officers in an attempt to ensure that there was no repeat of the violence and the looting and the arson of the last few night. Well, that doesnt appear to have done the trick. He must be wondering, like a lot of other officials across this country, what it will take to bring all this to an end. That is our correspondent david willis talking to us a little earlier. We are taking you live now do this thing that we can show you in los angeles. Of course, david talking about the problem there overnight. You can see here there have been looting is, protests, you can see police guarding one particular property and as our shot moves around the Police Helicopter is also up at the same time. Just kind of scanning that area to see whats going on, a police roadblock, we saw a walking roadblock a short time ago. See this, david . Further east. We are going to try to stop. A little earlier we were looking up police cars on fire in los angeles, the Police Firing rubber bullets to try to disperse the crowds. The crowds were protesting clearly about the death of the man while in Police Custody. But some of the protest is also venting their frustration over the continued lockdown and economic problems it could cause and as david was telling us those riots now taking place in at least 30 cities across the United States, including outside the white house in washington, dc. These are the pictures from los angeles we have been following this morning. But, yes, 30 cities around the us and we are going to speak to one political expert in washington, dc, we will speak to him at about 8 30am about the implications of this and what changes if any may come about as a result of those demonstrations. We will be keeping you right up big changes coming tomorrow in the world of sport. Holly can tell us all about it. Good morning. Good morning. After three long months, the wait is almost over. The government used its briefing yesterday to announce a series of guidelines around how sport can safely return in england from tomorrow. Therell be no fans, of course, and there are some rules around social distancing with testing required too. Dont expect to switch on the tv and see the premier league, rugby, or cricket on tomorrow youll be disappointed. For most sporting bodies this is really about getting the ball rolling. There are still concerns whether there is still a risk involved and this is something that was put to the deputy chief medical officerJonathan Van Tam. The actual return of elite sport is something that will be a nice fillip to us all after the lockdown, at a psychological level, but i dont think its in any way is relevant to a conversation about r. So i mentioned therell be no Major Team Sports on your tvs from tomorrow, but horse racing fans are in luck. The first competitive action will be at newcastle racecourse tomorrow afternoon. Ten races are on the racecard with all them limited to 12 starters. There will be a total of 18 meetings in the first eight days of racing. Theres been no racing in britain since the 17th of march. The other one to look out for snooker, which is also back tomorrow. The Championship League events to be staged behind closed doors at the marshall arena in milton keynes. The venue has been chosen because it has on site accommodation, meaning everyone involved in the tournament can stay there. All players and staff will be tested before entering the venue, and will be kept in isolation until results are known. After this weekends government announcement, britains sailors are preparing to move to the next stage of training from tomorrow. A number of measures have already been implemented to allow some of the squad to continue their preparations for next years olympics. Our reporter nick hopes been finding out how theyve been navigating some of the challenges. Asa as a champion sailor, giles scott has overcome some of the toughest trials nature could conjure, but not even he could be prepared for covid 19. Even he could be prepared for covid19. Is unprecedented, isnt it . My schedule was very precisely developed so that it enabled me to get through the olympic preparations and, of course, covid has come along and, of course, covid has come along and torn that in bits. Its presented heaps of challenges. It is nice we are actually able to get out on the wharf now. To make that possible and safe, british sailing has followed government guidelines and modify their Training Base in portland and weymouth. We are requiring more of our athletes to screen for their symptoms and temperature checks, we want to make sure that anyone displaying symptoms days at home. The hardest thing is probably working out where all of the touch points are that you have to keep clean, therefore we need more disinfectant, we need a hand washing station there, it is observing really good social distancing which, in a bopara, it is usually very busy, it is been difficult. I think are something we have found to cope with. John gibson and anna barnett were able to return ahead of other double handed sailing pairs after choosing to go into lockdown together and they are desperate to make up for lost time. When you are used to working and training every day, when it stops overnight its quite hard mentally to get through it. And the fact that we knew our australian rivals were still able to train, that has been quite difficult. Its been really nice to not been on the phone for the last few weeks. It has been the sanity to get back on the water. A really good feeling. It makes you appreciate the support we do. Nick hope, bbc news. Thats a bit of a risk, moving in with your work colleague to keep on training. Dedication. So with horse racing back tomorrow, we thought wed bring you something to whet your appetite camel racing down under. The Golden Nugget stumbles at the start there. Tax putting the pressure on straightaway. He nugget coming up on the inside of tax. Well, this is the uluru camel cup, which im assured normally has crowds in attendance not this year due to the pandemic. The race saw a camel called tex declared the winner. It was all broadcast online and all for a good cause raising money for local charities. For me it is the commentator, he gets so excited. He is very excited about gammell raising the do you know what, we will take it. In the absence of anything else it will do the commentator gets very excited about racing. Thank you. Sport may be back in some form. Outdoor markets and car showrooms will be allowed to reopen in england tomorrow, as the restrictions on non essential retailers start to be eased. All other shops classed as non essential will follow on the 15th ofjune, and they will all have to follow strict safety guidelines to prevent the spread of covid 19. Heres our Business Correspondent katy austin. Neil has been checking through his stocks of towels, bedding, and household textiles ready to sell them in an outdoor market for the first time in over two months and there will be a new safe store layout. We got the tables at the front, two metre distin. Neal and his wife suzanne cant wait to get to work this week at barnsley market, where only essential stalls like would have been operating for weeks now. The shutdown has been ha rd weeks now. The shutdown has been hard financially. Weve got a plan together that were going to try to make work, a pay station, a pickup station, so we can serve customers and hopefully keep everybody safe, yeah. But theyre expecting a slow start. Again, wevejust yeah. But theyre expecting a slow start. Again, weve just got to start. Again, weve just got to start somewhere, havent we . I dont think we will take a great deal of money, but weve just got to get into the system of working again. However long business takes to pick up, they say the chance to reopen is important. Plus we want to help the economy, dont we . We want to make a start, you know, weve been the first ones to be given a chance before the other shops, really. Other nonessential retailers are pressing ahead with their reopening plans, but the need to be covid secure means the Shopping Experience will be different. As a homeware retailer, ikea could have stayed open, but it chose to shut its doors in march and will only reopen in england and Northern Ireland from tomorrow with a range of safety managers in place. Here in manchester, staff have been making final preparations. We will be limiting the flow of customers in the car park and into the store. Weve invested in this new team of what were calling social distance wardens who will be on hand throughout the store just to help customers with the 1 way system and ensure we maintain a two metre distance from each other at all times. You can expect limits on customer numbers and probably cues, plastic barrier screens, and co nta ctless plastic barrier screens, and Contactless Payments and other kinds of retailers too, like clothes shops, when they reopen their doors from june 15. Meanwhile, market traders have customers have the confidence to return. Katy austin, bbc news. Some good news, some retailers can reopen but it will be quite a while for all of them to do so. Other good news is the weather is good today . Is that an umbrella . Yes it is and it looks beautiful at the worst of times. Edinburgh. Blue sky and sunshine and plenty of that to take us through the day. Some exceptions. This is the value of york. Yell of essentially a story of sunny skies. Fairweather ploughed. Brisk winds just like yesterday. Dutch fairweather cloud. Asimilar a similar story for Northern Ireland. With some shelter, the temperatures will be higher. As you go through this evening and tonight, it will stay fine. Sunshine to be clear skies through the night but the low cloud will be rolling in from the north sea and eastern scotla nd from the north sea and eastern scotland and may be down into yorkshire. Temperatures between seven and 13 degrees. Tomorrow, another fine day. Clouds tending to clear and then a lot of sunshine but a small chance of catching a shower across scotland or Northern Ireland in the afternoon. Temperatures well up in the afternoon. Temperatures well up into the 20s. But as we move further ahead in tuesday, a change is on the way. A frontal system sinking its way in. Notice the wind direction behind this band of rain, coming from the north. Scotland feeling much cooler. Another warm day but that cooler air and some rain thinking south as we head through the middle of the week. Thank you, we will see you again very thank you, we will see you again very soon. Well be back with the headlines at 8 oclock. Now, its time for click. Hello, you. Hope youre doing ok. The weathers getting warmer here which means only one thing any minute now you will hear my next door neighbours lawnmower whiz past and theres nothing i can do about it. Sorry, lara. There is an app for that, you know, dont you watch a programme called click . Oh yes, i remember. Good point we were actually all meant to be outside this week at the hay festival, but alas its not happening this year. Yeah, i know. Im going to miss the hay festival this year. Hay is still online though and theyve got loads of speakers who are giving talks from their homes rather like the rest of us these days. Yes. How are you finding working from home, spencer . Um, well, im really lucky to be able to work from home, but the weird thing is, whenever i have worked at home in the past i have worked harder and longer than i have in the office, basically because im paranoid people will think im skiving off. Yeah, i can understand that although, of course, not everybodys that conscientious. And speaking to a lot of friends i think the idea that moving forward many of us could be working from home more, even after the pandemic. Well, while our bosses cant watch us in the way they would in the office there is some technology that might. With millions of us now working from home, managers are facing new challenges. Homeworkers are harder to monitor and so trust is vital. However, in recent weeks demand for software to monitor employees has surged in the us, so it seems not everyone is quite so trusting. While Companies May argue that its simply about maintaining productivity, others may feel that were slipping into a time of creepy surveillance. So based on these concerns, New York Times journalist adam satarino decided to conduct an unusual experiment. I wanted to see how this Employee Monitoring Software worked. And so i thought the best way to do that would just be to turn it on myself so i downloaded the software on my computer, on my phone, and then i turned it around and gave my manager, my editor in San Francisco access as well, just knowing that your supervisor was looking over my shoulder and could see screenshots of what was on my computer screen, or a log of what websites i was visiting, that sort of changes how you behave and how you perform yourjob. Adam used Monitoring Software hubstaff. The software is now installed on over 100,000 company machines. It can snap screenshots of your computer every few minutes. Other software on the market can even record your screen and monitor every keystroke. I really did begin to feel that it was intrusive and over the top. It spits out this percentage which becomes kind of your productivity score that can be used to measure you. And so mine were always stubbornly low, which was surprising, i consider myself to be a fairly productive person. I am embarrassed to say i looked at that number and i was like, what . What is going on here . it kind of raises immediate questions like what is this guy doing . So i should have known better, because when he explained that this really only measures the amount of time youre, you know, typing on your device and using your device and your laptop, that explained a lot. But knowing what else he was doing felt really weird and intrusive. And it was kind of gross, you know. Its like youre not only violating adams privacy, youre sort of violating other peoples privacy that he was communicating with by extension. Adams experiment was one manager monitoring one employee and the Companies Providing the software argue that this isnt a true reflection of how their customers use it. But thats not the reality of what really happens. What really happens is i have 100 employees and theres nobody whos going around looking at the detail of 100 employees. So really what theyre looking for is just those basic insights that we talked about. And the detail is just there if its needed, if something looks off, looks awry. However, in the United States the sudden surge in demand has started to draw attention to the lack of Legal Protection for workers privacy. And also, highlighted a power imbalance between employers and employees. Governmental action is necessary to protect workers from being forced to treat their dignity in the employment bargain. In february, i did testify in congress in the subcommittee on labour and education, and this was an issue that was raised. This productivity tracking of employees and also the fate of the data that is collected. With millions more of us now working from home, dr ajunwa concerns have become even more pressing. She told us that currently employers are allowed to secretly monitor employees as no federal law exists that requires them to inform their workers about surveillance. Its now a free for all. Its the wild, wild west. Everybody is now subject to the same kind of minute monitoring as we previously thought was, you know, the plight of those poor factory or warehouse workers. And theres also the issue of employment discrimination that can arise from all this data collection. If youre taking screenshots, you might discover information about the employee that you perhaps would not have discovered in a traditional workplace. You might discover that the employee is of a different sexual orientation, so that could also give rise to discrimination on those grounds, or a different religion. But in europe, where productivity monitoring of employees is still legal, there is much tighter oversight, and there are regulations around its use. In europe we have to tell people what were doing and why, and ensure that we have lawful grounds for doing that. If an organisation has a legitimate interest in collecting the data for workforce productivity in certain areas, then it will be able to do so without consent, but it will still need to be transparent with its employees, telling them what its doing and of course putting safeguards to protect the data. Maybe we will see this sort of Employee Surveillance become the norm, but clearly it will stir quite some debate. After all, how would you feel if your boss was monitoring you . In the dead of the night something is afoot. Two feet, in fact, and a jump. Westpac Little Ripper Group and myself are sleep to track down some roving roos or the occasional wandering walla by. Were not fussy. Table, check, carpet, check, two unmanned aerial vehicles, check, check. Im out with the same team behind the slick sharkspotter drones ive covered before. With the bushfires and the animals that have been affected weve now taken the Amazing Technology that weve out on the beaches for the last three years and weve put it over the bushland. Now theyve turned nocturnal and their new targets are considerably cuddly creatures. You can see kangaroo, kangaroo, kangaroo. You can see they really stand out against the background. Were filming before sunrise during the coldest part of the day. So the new thermal cameras fixed to the drones can work properly. As well as being able to serve a huge swathe of land in the blink of an airborne eye, the drones thermal capabilities can help in other ways. A thermal signature makes animals much easier to see at night. Their natural internal temperatures making them visible even in the most dense of treetop canopies. And the different individual temperatures of the animals can be recorded, therefore making them more distinct between species. Different animals show up at different temperatures. They have different fur that insulates them. So its just a matter of picking them out but you can see quite easily that theres a whole lot of kangaroos in this field. Dr grant hamilton from Queensland University of technology is also using drones to monitor koalas. Hes devised an algorithm to automatically detect animals in the outback using computer vision. On the right hand side we have the Artificial Intelligence algorithm working and on the left hand side we have the thermal imagery. Its a koala. Initially it was falsely detecting kangaroos, for example, as koalas. We were even detecting humans and even hot car bonnets. But thats the whole point that you go back and you retrain the algorithm. So the algorithm gets better and better and better to the point now were better than humans are at detecting koalas. All of the algorithms that have been developed to date is processing back at a university, so theres no in field processing. So were now going to work with the universities and the institutions, take their datasets and algorithms that theyve started to develop, layer it over our technology, which enables us to do these surveys at night in the field and get Real Time Data back. And thats the key. Someone who knows a thing or two about the state of Australian Animals is dr michael pyne. When i first started here 20 years ago we admitted just three koalas in the whole year and last year we admitted almost 600 koalas. He sees real value in an up to date digital census. These surveys are done intermittently, maybe every ten years, and in many areas theyre not done at all, its just estimates. Technology such as drones, you know, using those thermal cameras, can mean a large area can be covered in short periods of time, you know, relatively cheaply, to get those numbers so we know how many koalas are there and that makes all the difference. Only if we know whats there can we manage whats there and be able to make, you know, decisions about the future. Thats it for the shortcut of click for this week. The full length version is available for you right now on iplayer. And you can keep up with the team throughout the week on instagram, youtube, facebook and twitter. Thanks for watching and we will see you soon. Bye bye. Good morning, welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and sally nugent. Our headlines today curfews across america as a fifth night of protests spread to more than 30 cities. Police cars are set on fire, riot officers respond with tear gas. Demonstrators converge on the white house in washington. The unrest follows the death of an African American man while being detained by police. After ten weeks at home, more than two Million People in england whove been shielding during lockdown are told they can go outdoors. Three, two, one, zero. Left off go spacex nasa astronauts make history as they blast off towards the International Space station in a commercial rocket theyre due to dock this afternoon. After three months of waiting, elite sport is set to return. Behind closed doors and under strict regulations the first major events begin in england from tomorrow. Good morning. Its dry, warm, and sunny for the final day of may. But the first few days ofjune will bring a change. Something cooler and possibly wetter on the way. Details later on breakfast. Its sunday 31st may, our top story. There have been further protests across the United States, after the death of an unarmed black man who was being detained by police. There have been demonstrations in at least 30 cities, with police cars set on fire and riot police clashing with protestors. Curfews have also been introduced after a fifth night of violence. Our north america correspondent david willis reports from los angeles. This was the night america rose up in protest. Angry, destructive protest aimed at the police and their treatment of racial minorities. Curfews were imposed in more than a dozen american cities, but they were ignored. Many of those protests had started peacefully. We cant breathe the mantra of a movement that has taken George Floyds final words and turned them into a rallying cry. I cannot breathe. Mr floyd was captured on video gasping for breath and pleading for his life. The Police Officer seen with his knee on mr floyds neck is now facing murder and manslaughter charges but thats done little to abate the anger and calls are growing for the three other officers involved in his arrest to also be brought tojustice. In minneapolis, the states governor had promised a muscular, no nonsense response after five days of rioting that left burned out buildings and ransacked stores. But despite activating thousands more National Guard officers and firing tear gas grenades, the demonstrations continued, along with the violence. It was a similar story in the countrys second largest city, los angeles, where some likened these scenes of unrest to the rodney king riots which razed part of the city to the ground nearly 30 years ago. Like george floyd, rodney king was a victim of Police Brutality caught on camera. Police fired rubber bullets after protesters ignored the mayors desperate plea for calm. President trump said the us military was ready, willing, and able to deploy if the unrest continued. A potent cocktail of factors are at play here. The coronavirus pandemic has thrown 40 million americans out of work and trashed a once buoyant economy. People have been cooped up indoors for months as a result. Some knowing it may be months if not years before they get theirjobs back. David willis, bbc news, los angeles. More than two million medically Vulnerable People in england, who have been shielding at home since the start of lockdown, will be allowed to spend Time Outdoors from tomorrow. The updated government guidance means they can go outside with someone they live with, or meet a person from another household if they live alone. Our Political Correspondent chris mason has more details. This is what the beach in bournemouth looked like yesterday and, in london, this was regents park and this was primrose hill. But not everyones been able to take advantage of some of the restrictions easing in recent weeks. The clinically most vulnerable to the virus, who were asked to shield, have been stuck at home all day every day for around ten weeks. This morning, for the more than 2 Million People in england in this situation, big news. From tomorrow you can head out with others in your household or, if you live on your own, with one other person from another household. Why, though, is this now deemed safe . Ministers say its because fewer people have the virus, meaning the average chance of catching it is down from one in 40 to one in 1000. The big challenge for the government and for all of us is managing the risk posed by the virus alongside tentatively tiptoeing back towards normality. What do you say to those scientists and others who say that youre easing the lockdown in england too quickly . I believe and youll recall i was at the podium when the disease activity was very high in the uk and i said it was a very dangerous moment. I believe this is also a very dangerous moment. Professor van tam knows how to turn a phrase and make a point. He was also asked directly about dominic cummings, the Prime Ministers most Senior Adviser who, among other things, drove 50 miles to test his eyesight during the lockdown. The rules are clear and they have always been clear. In my opinion they are for the benefit of all and in my opinion they apply to all. Ouch. The Prime Ministers team had nothing to say when i asked for their response to this. Instead, theirfocus is on how more people in england can slowly edge out of the lockdown. Chris mason, bbc news. Our Political Correspondent Jonathan Blake joins us from our london newsroom. Jonathan, whats at stake as the lockdown changes come in . Yes, there is a huge amount at stake at every turn it during this crisis. Governments have said they have been guided by the science, but as we have had in the last couple of days, the scientists do not always agree about the best way forward. As the uk takes tentative steps out of lockdown and from tomorrow, people will be able to gather in groups outside of up to six in england, the numbers vary in other parts of the uk, and Primary Schools will also be open to some children and in a couple of weeks we will have nonessential Retail Businesses opening as well. As you have heard, those 2 million who have suffered during the lockdown of more than most will be able to spend some time outside from tomorrow as well. The success of these measures depends on a few things, people following the rules and also the test and trace programmes that have been put in place to keep a handle on the number of coronavirus cases and stop the virus spreading more widely as things are loosened a bit being up and running and there is concern it is not quite where it should be yet. As these are small steps are taken, there may well be some relief that we can do more than we were able to over the last few weeks but a good deal of nervousness as well. Thanks very much. Two nasa astronauts are due to dock with the International Space station later today, after flying there on a rocket built by a private company. Its been made by spacex and lifted off from Cape Canaveral last night. Its the first time that a rocket built by a commerical organisation has been put into orbit, and itll effectively work as a space taxi for nasa who no longer own the vehicles. Our correspondent jane obrien reports from florida. Three, two, one, zero. Ignition. Lift off of the falcon 9 and cruise dragon. Go nasa, go spacex. Godspeed. As the countdown reached single digits, the clouds broke, the sky cleared and the first commercial rocket to carry humans into space finally took off. Astronauts bob behnken and doug hurley are now in orbit, heading for the International Space station. Travelling at 17,000 miles an hour, they should arrive in as much time as it takes to fly from new york to sydney. Right now, everything continuing to look good. The astronauts are the first to launch from us soil in almost a decade, after nasa retired its shuttle programme. Since then, russia has provided transport to the International Space station. The multibillion dollar deal with spacex is intended to reduce the cost of human space flight, including landing on the moon and eventually taking people to mars. I think this is something that should really get people, i mean, right in the heart of anyone who has any spirit of exploration. Yeah, really quite overcome with emotion this day. Its kind of hard to talk, frankly. Been 18 years working towards this goal, so. Its hard to believe that its happened. Those of us who saw the spectacular and unforgettable lift off this afternoon watched more than an act of history, we watched an act of heroism. We wish them godspeed on theirjourney and as one proud nation, we salute their fearless service, thank you, thank you. Thank you. Applause. The shuttles reusable falcon 9 rocket has already been retrieved at sea by a drone ship. Radio im going to kind of do a side spin. When the capsule returns to earth, splashing down off the coast of florida, it too will be recovered and reused. After all the nail biting excitement of the launch itself, its easy to forget that the astronauts still have some work to do, but Spacex Mission control says everythings going well so far and theyve already carried out their first manual flight tests. Jane obrien, bbc news, at the Kennedy Space center. One of the most recognisable voices on childrens tv the thomas the tank engine narrator Michael Angelis has died. Michael, who was 68, narrated the classic thomas stories for more than 20 years. He was also an accomplished actor, appearing in a string of comedies and dramas including the liver birds, auf wiedersehen, pet, and boys from the blackstuff. Back in march, more than two Million People in england were asked to stay at home and shield themselves because they were identified as being at particularly high risk from coronavirus. From tomorrow, those rules are going to be slightly eased, allowing those whove been shielding to leave their homes and spend time outside. But theyll still be advised to avoid places like the supermarket and their place of work. We can speak now to two people who have been shielding rob smith is in east yorkshire and lynne loomes joins us from gloucester. Good morning to you both. Rob, i will start with you. How do you feel about the possibility of getting out and about after all those weeks on your own . Well, when i heard this morning i was quite. It sent a shiver down my spine, the thought of going outside after being told that if we go out and potentially catch this virus it is basically the end of the game for us. That is a very scary thought, so now, evenjust to be thought of going outside even now, i can feel it, you can probably hear it in my voice, it is quite a scary thought. Lane, you are in a similar position and i know you have had to go out a couple of times lynn for hospital appointments and you found that very daunting . Yes, i we nt you found that very daunting . Yes, i went out at the end of april to go to my local hospital and the thought of actually getting out of a car, i found it incredibly difficult. I sat in the about ten minutes trying to pull myself together to actually get out. Once out and in the hospital, i had to say everyone was fantastic i have to say everyone was kind but it was overwhelming. Lots of people watching this at home who may have been shielding will understand how nerve racking it might be for you to go outside and how nervous that you are about that. Do you think, on one level, you might at least try a very cautious step outside . Because i know, for example, you have been missing friends, family, your partner, what will your first steps be . Well, i have got a lovely partner who is probably watching this now and it will be nice to go and sit with her in a garden and just have a conversation without a phonein just have a conversation without a phone in my hand and my dog, who i have living with me normally, has had to stay with her, so i miss my dog and my partner and it will be great to spend some quality time. People take for granted what i will be doing tomorrow and to me it is such a big event, after the last 11 weeks of being sat waiting for this to end. I have a very rare form of muscular dystrophy, so not to be able to exercise has been absolutely devastating to me. I have watched my physical well being deteriorate as time has gone on so to me, getting out there and being able to exercise is vital and i just want to get out there and being able to exercise is vital and ijust want to get back to some sort of normality, you know. Lynn give us a sense of what day to day life has been like for these weeks, what has been the ha rd est pa rt these weeks, what has been the hardest part for you . these weeks, what has been the hardest part for you . I am a Primary School teacher so from a white point of view it has been about not being able to go and play my part. I felt quite guilty in some respects because i know my colleagues have beenin because i know my colleagues have been in looking after a key worker children and as a parent it has been a very difficult because i have four children and with the government rules change in terms of being able to go out and meet people outside of your household, my children are getting messages from their friends saying, can we meet up . Obviously a social distancing. And my children, i have to say no, you cannot because it increases the risk for me. So this is very much still unclear as to how we proceed. In times of day today, we try to get up as normal, keep the routine as if we were going to work, but it has actually got harder as some of the rules have eased because we know it does not really change for us as a family. When people talk about shielding, immediately they will probably assume that it is more elderly people who are having to shield, that those fall into that category, looking at the both of you this morning you are clearly not elderly. How frustrating is it to explain to people you are shielding not because of your age . Incredibly frustrating. Ever since i was diagnosed with my autoimmune last year, everybody says how well you look and that is something that still gets me now, is that you might look well on the outside but you are not necessarily on the inside. It is quite frustrating, really. Rob, for you, would you say the last 11 or 12 weeks have been a challenge mentally as well as physically . Massively. I cannot put into words how hard it has been. Just. I have been getting up at aam and cannot sleep. From aam to around 10pm just sitting indoors looking at my window, watching people walk by and just feeling that i am detached from the world. The outside world, a horrible feeling. There are no words to describe that feeling. 12 weeks ago, if you had told me i would be staying in the 2a if you had told me i would be staying in the 24 hours a day for three months, i would have done anything to avoid that because i have always been an active sort of person will stop so it has had a massive effect, not just person will stop so it has had a massive effect, notjust on meat mentally but when i speak to my family, they can ascend how hard it has been for me and notjust on me mentally, but to get back the old me, because in three months i have lost a lot of the person i was and it isa lost a lot of the person i was and it is a horrible thought. Lynn is nodding and agreeing with everything you are saying. I am sure there are many people watching this you feel ina similarway many people watching this you feel in a similar way to both of you with the changes coming in. It has been great to speak to both of you, we wish you both luck. If you are able to get out a little this weekend as certain restrictions are lifted in certain restrictions are lifted in certain parts of the country, the weather is looking nice. Yes, blue skies and sunshine over overhead. The last day of may and it brings more of the same warm and sunny weather. This morning, there are one or two exceptions. This weather watcher picture i am about to show you a visit from county durham. You can see a lot of low cloud and fog here. You can pick that out on a satellite picture. Parts of north east england, north east scotland, but it is starting to clear and left and any fog we had will not last much longer. It is then a story of sunny skies. A bit of patchy clouds developing across england and wales through the day, some wispy high cloud turning the sons and a little hazy. Just like yesterday, a noticeable easterly breeze. That will make it feel a little on the cool side when youre exposed to that breeze on north sea coast. You can see that in the temperatures, aberdeen 17, 18, with some shelterfrom temperatures, aberdeen 17, 18, with some shelter from that breeze in inverness, a high of 25. A similar story in Northern Ireland, 21 in belfast but further west more like 2a. The east coast of england exposed to that breeze it will be rather cool it bed for parts of north west england we are looking at highs of 25, 26, perhaps 27 degrees. Is it going to this evening, there will be some sunshine to end the day. Overnight, clear, starry skies. We will again see some areas of low cloud and fog on the coast of north east england and scotland. Perhaps chilly across london of these north east england areas as well but not a particularly cold night. Monday is a similar day. We should lose most of this cloud on the north sea coast, it might linger for a little bit longer than today. Through the afternoon, a very small chance of showers. Temperatures low to mid 20s. Its changes as we had a deep and weak. This is the forecast for monday night into tuesday. A frontal system are pushing in from the north and that is going to bring some outbreaks of rain southwards across scotland in tuesday for stop some of that rain could get heavy for a time but behind that rain band, see where the wind is coming from, from the north. That will make it feel cooler across northern parts of the uk. Down to the south, 27 degrees is likely but that cool air will reach all parts through the middle of the week and even in the south, where we could really do with some, there is a bit of rain in the forecast. That will be a Welcome Change for some. So as ben mentioned, the hot weather continues across the uk today, as we experience one of the sunniest spring periods since records began. The warm, dry spell has coincided with the lockdown, and thats meant that were all using more water than usual. Were now being asked to think carefully about how we use water to try and avoid a shortage. Its particularly difficult at the moment for farmers, like Olly Harrison in merseyside. Its the 29th of may, im stood in a field, which should be green with sweetcorn, or maize, whichever you want to call it, and we are just basically suffering a drought. Its been the last three months, weve had well below average rainfall. Ive got some bottles here to show you. So this is how much rainfall we had in 2018, which we all remember as being a drought, in march, april and may. And this is how much weve had now in the last three months. As you can see, only a third of what we had in 2018. So the drought really has started early this year. With the weather forecasts now for the next sort of three, four weeks into june, there is no significant rainfall unless were lucky and catch a thunderstorm. But we all know how quickly they can come and go and how scattered they can be. And if the weather is still this temperature, the waterjust evaporates straightaway. So this year could be a disastrous year, really, forfarming, especially in the uk if this good weather continues. Olly is with us now live from one of the fields on his farm, and we can also speak to kes juskowiak from scottish water. Olly, i will come to you first because i can see it is 8 2aam, blazing sunshine where you are, beautiful blue skies. What, in practical terms, does this mean for you . Already we have lost significant chunks of yield, if it started raining tomorrow and carried on three june we started raining tomorrow and carried on threejune we probably lost a third if not half of potential of the crops. The crops did not have a lot of potential anyway because it was so wet from lastjune to the beginning of this march, all the crops we have on the ground now and what we call it spring crops, so we sow them after the bad weather of the winter this spring and they have such a short growing season that this is crucial for such a short growing season that this is crucialfor them. It is such a short growing season that this is crucial for them. It is the saying within farming that wet and windy may feels barn with hay, but it has been dry, this field should be green but it was planted about a month ago and just had not grown. Kes, when you hear that and the forecast is to stay dry for a while, what did that mean for you, how can you guarantee Water Supplies . We had a reasonable wet winter so our store supplies are in a good position across the country. The challenges we are faced with is this sunny weather, customers are already using large volumes of water as they stay at home and in recent weeks, with the warm weather, we have seen that jump by the warm weather, we have seen that jump by up to 30 . Examples of that, we are filling the equivalent of 60 additional olympic pools every day just to supply our customers and that has given us significant challenges. Why is the extra demand . Does it not just challenges. Why is the extra demand . Does it notjust change . We are not using it in the office, so we are using it in the office, so we are using more at home. Does that not balance out . In general terms, using more at home. Does that not balance out . In generalterms, but over the last few weeks with the warmer weather, we see an increase in garden use in particular so people using sprinklers during the night, Pressure Washing driveways, paddling pools and all these cause significant strain on the network throughout the day that we have to work hard to make sure we can shift at the water quick enough to meet the customer demand. Olly, what are your options are now . Planning ahead, what can you do to try and mitigate the situation you are in . Other than a prey, not a great deal. I grow wheat, barley and things like that and they are quite low value per acre so you cant irrigate them, the cost, theres not enough water in the streams and rivers around us anyway. Some crops you might take the decision not to harvest them because they are not worth the manpower and the diesel. I hope it does not get to that will top the last time we had a dry spell like this was 2018 but it was only a month of whether that was dry then. But, they say it never work with children or animals, but Mother Nature can be cruel as well. Kes, we are not talking about hosepipe bans yet, but what should people be thinking about . How can they save a bit of water here and there, because that one can assume it all adds up . Yes, and every Water Company across the uk has advice on how to save water wisely which is a Precious Resource for us and farmers. My guidance would be to take in consideration of the water that is being used in the garden over this period of time and try and minimise that. The grass in your garden is incredibly resilient and will grow back. Please minimise that use so we do not have a drought further into the year. Olly, we will come back to you one last time. I know you are in a really terrible, desperate situation at the moment, but looking at what you are, it is just the most stunningly beautiful location. You showed us that the glorious blue sky just a moment ago. Could you share that with us one more time and talk to usa that with us one more time and talk to us a little bit about what we can see behind you and what is on your land . The field behind me, obviously you have the nice blue sky, it looks better when the there are no planes in it, but this field behind me should be full of sweet corn, maize really, but it is a writer you can eat and it was planted when it covid 19 kicked off and i plant that we could harvest for local people, but unfortunately it doesnt want to grow. There is a hedgerow with some potatoes but they are struggling. They had to be worse went into dry soil, the late frost came which scorched the leaves and they have just started growing again but they arejust just started growing again but they are just about to start producing the baby potatoes, but it is crucial now that they need moisture and i just do not think we are going to get it. If you look at the long range. We might get a couple of millimetres on wednesday, but we are generally at about 25 millimetres, but we have only had about a third of the reign of what we had in the previous drought year in the last three months and it is just not enough really. I sound like a farmer, always moaning about the weather, it is just so cruel this time. Olly, you are a farmer, you are allowed to do it. Hearing from olly and how it is affecting him, but also hearing from kes and how to be careful about using water at home. Do not worry about the loan is too much, because it will bounce back, even if it is looking a little worse for wear at the lawns. Im talking to the foreign secretary about the very difficult balance between following the science and the other reasons for lockdown, are we unlocking to early . And i will talk to him about america and china, where there is a huge confrontation looming, im talking to the shadow chancellor, im talking to the first minister of Northern Ireland, where they have had a dramatically successful crisis in terms of the death rates. Its a lot lower than scotland, england and wales. Ill be asking about why, and finally im talking to an expert on infectivity and also on the longer term effects of covid 19. Hes been doing a study of covid 19. Hes been doing a study of patients with it. Talking about how that will affect the rest of their lives. Andrew, thank you. The headlines are coming right up. Hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and sally nugent. Curfews have been ordered in cities across the us, as violent protests continued overnight after an unarmed black man died whilst being detained by police. Widespread demonstrations have taken place following the death of george floyd in minneapolis riot police have used tear gas and rubber bullets, and vehicles were set alight in several cities. Max nesterak is a reporter at the minnesota reformer, hes in minneapolis. Max, whats the latest where you are today . So, the latest right now is, im in my home, just a block from main street, which runs east and west along the south part of the city for much of the protest happened. I can still hear helicopters overhead, hearing some sirens, what im seeing from my collea g u es sirens, what im seeing from my colleagues on twitter as journalists are being fired upon, being arrested, and there have been some updates from Law Enforcement officials, saying it is hard to tell the difference between journalists and protesters so the clashes continue into the evening. Its about 2 30am. You have been covering these protests for days, what have you seen yourself . Ive seen quite a bit over the past few days. I seen much of the city i live in go up in smoke, gas stations, supermarkets, the police station, peopless businesses, right next to peoples homes, so far i have not seen any reports of peoples homes being intentionally set on fire, but that is something everyone on my block and across the city was preparing for tonight. My partner and i packed bags with some of our precious belongings and brought that out to family in the suburbs outside the city. So the neighbours on my blog came together earlier this evening to make a plan. My block. They barricaded the street so people cant drive through. They put up a caution tapes. We have pots and pans on ourfront porch in caution tapes. We have pots and pans on our front porch in case anything bad happens, to bang on them. One of my neighbours is irish, he owns an irish pub, which has likely been spared and he said this reminds him of the troubles when people would bang on pots and pans to allow people of what was going on. There has been talk of the National Guard are being drafted in, is that something you have seen happening . They are already here and there are videos online that people have posted, people being on theirfront porch, National Guard telling them to go inside. They are on their front porch and it sounds like they misunderstood the order to be at home and they were fired upon on their front porch. Home and they were fired upon on theirfront porch. A rubber bullet, which is a little bit smaller than a tennis ball, i was shocked by myself a few days ago, i was about 200 metres from a police line, got hit in the chest. It is a tennis ball sized dark purple bruise. In the chest. It is a tennis ball sized dark purple bruise. Max, what we re sized dark purple bruise. Max, what were you doing at that time when you we re were you doing at that time when you were shocked by the rubber bullet . was taking pictures of what was going on. I was not in the middle of protesters, who were doing anything particularly violent or throwing bottles or rocks or anything like that. I was just riding through, taking pictures, and it caught me com pletely taking pictures, and it caught me completely by surprise. What im seeing from my other colleagues, other journalists in the seeing from my other colleagues, otherjournalists in the field tonight and over the past few nights is that police are firing these non lethal projectiles into crowds, almost indiscriminately. Im grateful they did aim and they aimed at my chest and not at my head on my face, which has happened to other people and caused serious injuries. Max, its good to catch up with you, thank you very much indeed. Max nesterak, talking to us live from his home this morning. Demonstrations spreading to at least 30 cities in the us, including outside the white house. Eric ham is a us political commentator and joins us now from washington. Good morning foot explain the situation overnight in washington, if you will, because weve seen pictures of the demonstrations outside the white house. Well, washington right now is burning. It actually looks like it could be a scene from a terrorist movie. Youve got the historic Hay Adams Hotel directly across the street from the white house, that was on fire this evening. The Motion Picture association building, the windows have been completely knocked out of the building, and just about an hour ago you still had thousands of people downtown, on the streets and around and about, throwing things at Police Officers. And many had removed many of the barriers between. On the white house, as you entered. Of course there were secret Service Still on the ground but a very, very spirited demonstration that we see into the small hours. And its very much like what we are seeing across the country and i would actually say if you look at whats taking place in los angeles, philadelphia and here in washington, dc, i think these three cities along with minneapolis of course are certainly bearing the brunt of the protests and demo stations across the country is. We we re stations across the country is. We were talking to our correspondent in los angeles earlier, you are right, those demonstrations continuing there. We know this began with the death of george floyd in Police Custody, but a lot of the demonstrators also talking about their anger at the lockdown after so many implications for the wider economy, forjobs, that is one of the key issues here too. Absolutely. And when you look at what is taking place, how the pandemic has had people locked up, the number of people locked up, the number of people that have died from this virus, and the frustration of people losing jobs, now the frustration that the African American community continues to feel being dehumanised, looking as a Police Officer with his knee on the neck of this black man thats down on the ground, so i think all of this is just culminating and you are seeing the anger and frustration that has been pent up for so long nowjust exploding, and its exploding across the country. One of the things that we have heard from a number of governors and mayors across the country is that they have been looking to congress for resources, because again, we are talking about states whose budgets have been pushed beyond the brink, confronting a pandemic, now you look at these riots, these demonstrations, and what it will mean in terms of the police and fire that they will need and now the question becomes, these budgets are stretched even more to the brink and now you begin to wonder, will congress begin to actually provide the desperately needed resources that these states, that these local governments are going to need now that we are looking at so many cities across the country that are literally burning to the ground. And that leads to a response from the president , i wonder what you make of what you have heard from President Trump . President trump has given the country, i think, President Trump has given the country, ithink, a mixed bag. We have seen a number of his tweets here in the nations capital, the president is feuding with the mayor over police resources. He also sent out a tweet saying would be a matter one night, which many believed was the president his supporters to clash with those in protest, violence that they saw perpetrated against mr floyd. This would be a maga night. Ithink against mr floyd. This would be a maga night. I think what we are seeing here is a country which is just a drift with no leadership, no moral authority, no moral clarity to lead the nation and as a result we are seeing the chaos and anarchy that continues to engulf the nation. Its good to talk to you, max. Eric, i should say eric ham, us commentator in washington, dc. Its time now for our regular gp slot. This morning were speaking to dr rosemary leonard, whos in south london. Good morning to you, lovely to see you. Good morning cengiz tomorrow for the 2. 2 Million People who put you in shielding for the past few weeks, what do you make of these changes and the timing of them . Men who have been shielding. Changes and the timing of them . Men who have been shieldingm changes and the timing of them . Men who have been shielding. It will be very welcome for a lot of these people who have been cooped up indoors. With shielding, its very important to say this is advisory, its not like the government instructions which go to all of us. Shielding is all about advice, but reducing your own individual risk, because you have come into an extremely vulnerable group. Previously that advice has been just stay indoors, but now they are saying yes, you can go outside with members of your household, or was one other person as long as you observe social distancing. And it would be so welcome to a lot of them, but on the other hand, i know some of my patients are saying they feel safe indoors and there are going to be some that say, i dont wa nt to going to be some that say, i dont want to go outside, im too anxious, im happier where i am. But i have to say that this virus is going to be with us a long time, and you cant stay cooped up forever. So i think it is a good idea to go outside, particularly file weve got this glorious weather, go outside and get some fresh air. Its interesting, we were talking to two people early in the programme who have been shielding, with very mixed feelings about coming out of shielding. The advice is currently only four people in england at the moment. What would you say to the people who do feel nervous about going outside again after such a long time indoors . I would say go to somewhere where there is as much open space as possible. We know this virus does not transmit well outdoors, which is why as from tomorrow people can meet in groups of six outdoors, people who are known shielding. So the risk going outside, as long as you stick to these social distancing guidelines, is really small. But if youre in a shielding group, the advice is you should not go to the shops, you should not go to the shops, you should not go to the pharmacy, just stick with a household member youve been with or one other person, ideally the same person, not different people. But this is a matter of personal choice. And choosing what you want to do, what risks you are prepared to take. There have been a lot of issues about who should be shielding and who should not. There are grey areas and a lot of this about people not knowing whether they should be shielding or not. Its all a matter of personal Risk Assessment and what you personally are willing to do. You mentioned that the weather at the moment has been absolutely brilliant almost anywhere. I know some gps are already noticing problems with sunburn . Yes, yes. And lo and behold, we have been inundated with advice about everything and the latest one is hot weather warning. Which is when the hot weather precautions, we need to ta ke hot weather precautions, we need to take that into mother comes on the 1st ofjune. Take that into mother comes on the 1st of june. Particularly take that into mother comes on the 1st ofjune. Particularly for people who have been shielding and have been indoors, on the one hand they need to go outside to get some vitamin d from the sunshine because we know vitamin d is essential for vitamin d from the sunshine because we know vitamin d is essentialfor a healthy immune system so thats one of the good things about going outside. Give your skin a little bit of sultry, unprotected skin, a quarter of an hour in the Early Morning or evening but not in the middle of the day. People who have been shielding, their skin is going to be very pale and vulnerable so please use sun block. Brilliant advice. Thank you very much indeed. Some sport will return tomorrow, holly has the details. After three long months, the wait is almost over. The government used its briefing yesterday to announce a series of guidelines around how sport can safely return in england from tomorrow. Therell be no fans, of course, and there are some rules around social distancing with testing required too. Dont expect to switch on the tv and see the premier league, rugby or cricket on tomorrow youll be disappointed. But horse racing fans are in luck the first competitive action will be at newcastle racecourse tomorrow afternoon. Ten races are on the racecard with all them limited to 12 starters. There will be a total of 18 meetings in the first eight days of racing. Theres been no racing in britain since the 17th of march. The other one to look out for snooker which is also back tomorrow. The Championship League events to be staged behind closed doors at the marshall arena in milton keynes. The venue has been chosen because it has on site accommodation, meaning everyone involved in the tournament can stay there. All players and staff will be tested before entering the venue, and will be kept in isolation until results are known. Still a long time to wait before the olympics, of course. Tokyo 2020 will take place next summer. Dina asher smith is one of the favourites, but the 200 metres World Champion says the postponement of this years event has in many ways been liberating for her and has actually taken off a lot of pressure. This is kind of a psychological break, because with this rejig of the next four years for us, so now weve got olympics in 2021, a World Championships, another World Championships and another olympics in 2024, and weve got various europeans, Commonwealth Games at home and weve got so many different things. The next four years, fingers crossed, touch wood, are going to be really busy and really exciting, and before that period, you know, sometimes its good to take stock, take a step back. If you fancy reliving the moment dina won gold at the World Championships last year, theres a documentary on bbc one at three oclock this afternoon featuring her and her fellow Gold Medal Winning Team mate Katarina Johnson thompson its called how dina and kat struck world gold. So with horse racing back tomorrow, we thought wed bring you something to whet your appetite. Camel racing, down under take a look. Ladies and gentlemen, nugget is putting the pressure on it is exciting. Well, this is the uluru camel cup, which im assured normally has crowds in attendance not this year due to the pandemic. A camel called tex won, with money raised from the event going to local charities. I hope the commentator on the horse racing in is half as excited as that there are more than 3. 5 million children in the uk who dont have a brother or sister and for them the lockdown has been particularly tough. The nspcc says only children may have felt isolated in the last ten weeks with only mum and that the company and plenty of solo play. Thomas morgan has been to meet a couple of one child families in cardiff. Ive embraced the fact that im watching him growing up every day, seeing him develop and spending all that time with him, that is brilliant but he does need to be with his friends as well. Since the middle of march, eight year old evan palmer has been enjoying quarantine life at home in cardiff with dad, jason. We bump into a few of your friends when weve been out on the bike and were able to say hello. And the day before trav and devan. As an only child, the only children he has seen since lockdown are either his friends at a distance or on line, which isjust not quite as good as normal. Every kid, if you see your friend, youre like, mum, dad, can i go and play with them . But now you can just say hello through the window but you cant go and play with them. Its really annoying because i want to but i cant. It is hard. According to the office of National Statistics there are over 3. 5 million single child families across the uk. And from monday, some pupils in england will return to school. By then across all the uk nations groups of varying amounts of people from different households will be able to meet outside but, crucially, still at a social distance which means children still wont be able to play with each other in person for the immediate future, as the two metre rule remains in place. Yeah, it is particularly isolating i think for only children, who are struggling with the lack of social interaction with their friends, being in school, and, yes, they can go on line and maybe play and see their friends virtually but that does not replace the physical contact. Because i am an only child, i am kind of used to it. But when i have time to think about it, it is more lonely, kind of, yeah. Between football and playing international basketball, 12 year old daniel logan would usually see friends almost every day of the week, but not any more. Ijust want to meet up with loads of them and just go but obviously we are not allowed to so it is quite boring because i do not have siblings or anything to kind of annoy or play with. His mother has been at home with daniel throughout the lockdown, keeping him engaged with schoolwork, scrabble and sports training. He is dealing with it really well and he is good at keeping himself amused but, in the long term, that is not good. Although any child to be experiencing loneliness during lockdown, the best way to overcome those feelings is by sharing those emotions. Its just that keeping in touch with people, sharing how you are feeling, sharing how youre feeling with your mum and dad or your carer. For daniel and evan, quality time with their parents has made lockdown easier but sometimes nothing can replace a kick about with friends. Tomos morgan, bbc news. So true. Bens leaving us now to read the news for the andrew marr show, which is coming up after us at nine oclock. Heres the other ben with a look at this mornings weather. Its going to be pretty glorious, one of the hottest days so far this year, partly . We had a temperature of 28 a couple of days ago in northern scotland, i dont think we will get as high as that today but more warm and sunny weather to come across the uk. We have had a bit of low cloud and fog in parts of eastern scotland and north east england, you can see it on the satellite picture. It is melting away quite nicely now. Blue skies for the most part as we head to todays. Some patchy cloud in parts of england and wales, may be some high cloud from time to time across scotland and Northern Ireland, turning the sundry a bit hazy. The wind, brisk easterly, so for some north sea coasts that will make it feel a little on the cool side, 18 degrees in aberdeen but in inverness, a high of 25. Many western and northern parts of scotla nd western and northern parts of scotland doing well for temperatures once again. This western counties of Northern Ireland could see highs of 2a. The east coast of england on the cool side. Further west into wales, central and western parts of england, 25, 26, 27 is likely. Through this evening and tonight, clear and starry skies, perhaps some fog returning to some North Eastern coast. Not a particularly cold night, another warm day to come tomorrow with a lot of sunshine but it turns cooler and wetter from the north on tuesday. A change on the way. I know some people will be very glad to hear there is some rain coming if you were outside last night, you might have spotted a bit of history in the sky. The worlds first privately funded spacecraft blased off from the Kennedy Space station in florida, and could be seen across the uk on its way to the International Space station. Across the uk on its way to the International Space station. The rocket is made by spacex, which is owned by the billionaire elon musk, and it effectively acted as a space taxi for a couple of nasa astronauts. Lets have a look at the launch. Five, four, three, two, one, zero. Ignition. Liftoff for the falcon 9 and crew dragon. Go, nasa, go, spacex godspeed, bob and doug america has launched, and so rises a new era of American Space flight. And with it, the ambitions of a new generation continuing the journey. 20 seconds into flight, stage one propulsion is nominal. T plus 30 seconds into this historic mission. Flying crew on board dragon and falcon 9, and look at em go lets speak to astronomer Maggie Aderin pocock, who joins us from guildford. Congratulations, you win the best backdrop of the morning, for a start good morning. Good morning, thank you how significant is spacex . good morning, thank you how significant is spacex . I think what spacex is doing is truly ground breaking. A few years ago i wrote an article about the three eras of space. Weve only been out there for just over 60 eras of space. Weve only been out there forjust over 60 years but it first began out of confrontation, the cold war and the second world war. But space is expensive so it moved into an era of collaboration when people were building the International Space station photo in 1975 the European Space agency was formed. But now we are moving onto the era of commercialisation, which is what will get us all out there. Because governments find it hard to keep on spending on space but with a commercial company like spacex and many others, they had the impetus to try and get us all out there because there is a commercial drive to do that. So i think this is the game changer. One of the things that is significant for me watching this is that we are seeing more from these astronauts, more from the process of them getting on board, more from the ta ke them getting on board, more from the take off than ever before. Do you know what those two men might be doing right now, are they allowed to have a sleep, what do they do . Well, yes, the journey from have a sleep, what do they do . Well, yes, thejourney from earth have a sleep, what do they do . Well, yes, the journey from earth to the space station actually takes about 19 hours because they have to get into the right orbit and then doc. So there will be sleep during that time but there will be stage breaks where one will sleep, than the other was sleep. I think it might be quite challenging because if youre on a brand new rocket, i think i would find it quite hard to sleep absolutely. What will happen when they get their . What are going to do . So, docking with the space station is a regular occurrence, it happens about every three months. There are people on board the space station who stay there for maybe six to nine months, and they need to swa p to nine months, and they need to swap people out. With covid 19 its been a little more interesting than usual because anyone going up to the space station has been under severe quarantine for much longer than usual because the worst Case Scenario is, we dont want to take covid 19 to the space station to anyone returning or going up is under quarantine for a lot longer. But they will dock with the space station, meet up with their bodies up station, meet up with their bodies up there, many people who they have been training with and eventually some other people will come down. So this is the bus system to get up to the International Space station, ta ke the International Space station, take new people and bring people back stop at the men on board at the moment, they dont fly this, do they . It is automated but they can step in if they to . Thats it. This capsule is different. Spacex has been resupplying the space station for many years. Whats so exciting about this, its the first time they have been taking people up. Its like a fly by wire system which is automated but the astronauts are there and trained so if anything goes wrong, they can take over. One of the things nasa are keen to do, focusing on one big planet, mars. Yes, mars is my Retirement Plan im hoping to be one of the people gets out there. But this is the problem spaceis out there. But this is the problem space is very expensive and one of the things that spacex is doing is they are making a truly reasonable rocket, or at least part of it, so it brings down the cost. So they have been focused on that for nasa and it gives the opportunity for nasa to look at the bigger picture, how to get to mars. But spacex is doing that as well. I think elon musks dream is to get people on other planets. So im very excited, ive always wanted to get out there, it feels like with the right push, we might make it. Maggie, great to talk to you, thanks very much indeed. We will see that arrival happening at 3 30 this afternoon. Thats all from us for today. Breakfast is back tomorrow from 6. 00. Have a good day.
