Victory at one circuit. Ben croucher reports. Qualifying in f1 is a simple beast. 20 cars turn up at a racetrack to see whos fastest. Its even simpler in 2020 find out which mercedes that is and by how much. With seven poles before, Lewis Hamilton is dialled in around the hungaroring, and promptly clocks a lap record for everyone else to catch. Indeed, so dominant is the mercedes that their nearest challengers are in a car that was pretty much copied from their 2019 version. Racing point were well behind in real terms, but their effort of third and forth to lock out the second row is the best for two years. Nice work, mate. You found your mojo, there. He generally finds it here on sundays, too. Six wins in the past in a sport where hamilton makes the rather hard look all too simple. Now its time for a look at the weather with tomasz. It at the weather with tomasz. Was pretty awful at th prix it was pretty awful at the grand prix but better for most of the uk. Hello. Its not exactly barbecue weather across the north of england and wales, where we have had outbreaks of rain. The weather is half decent across the south east of england, still warm, quite humid. Evening temperatures hovering around 25 celsius. Compare that to liverpool, only 15. Still around 19 there in the north east of england. By the time we get to around six oclock, the band of cloud and rain, this is the weather front, actually, its still across the north of england, parts of wales. But theres a tendency for it to slip a bit further south. Then you can see, overnight, we have some heavier rain developing across southern parts of the country, where it will be mild, 16 degrees overnight. In the north of the uk, a lot fresher, temperatures will dip to single figures. Then tomorrow, that fresher atlantic air spreads across northern england, so a much better day in yorkshire, the north west of england, more sunshine here, but a fresh one, 17, and cooler in the south, too. Hello, this is bbc news. The headlines. Councils in england now have new powers to close shops, cancel events and shut outdoor public spaces to manage outbreaks of the virus. The veteran American Civil Rights leader and long serving congressman john lewis has died at the age of 80. Eu leaders struggle to reach an agreement on a 750 billion euro economic recovery package to repair the damage done by the coronavirus pandemic. The uk government guarantees Financial Support for holiday makers seeking refunds for trips that were cancelled because of coronavirus. Now on bbc news, will the toppling of the statue of a slave trader in bristol change the lives of black people in the city . Musician and activist ngaio anyia explores inequality in her home city. Antiracism protesters in england have pulled down. A 17th century slave owner was taken down. Edward colston. The british slave trader stands no more. What would have been an act of vandalism on any other day felt like an expression of pure joy. It has left me with one big question. Will this change anything . Bristol presents a fantastic story to the outside world, but it is also true that people like me are born destined to die earlier, to get sick earlier, to get a poorer education and end up in Mental Health institutions or end up injail. I am a ngaio anyia, musician, activist and bristolian. I love my city, so now the spotlight is on us. Can we get it right . My story with the man on the plinth starts 15 years ago when i was at Colstons Girls School. Once a year, there would be a big Commemoration Service where we would give thanks to him. What they didnt tell us was that Edward Colston made a large chunk of his fortune through the trade of enslaved africans. Colstons ships transported an estimated 84,000 slaves. As many as 19,000 died en route and were thrown overboard. But much of bristols wealth was built on the money from that trade. And colstons name is everywhere. Finding that out changed everything for me. I didnt want to give thanks to a slave trader, so i refused to go to the service. And i was given detention. The school didnt want to discuss it, and that was the end of it. Im meeting cleo lake, who also went to Colstons Girls School a few years ahead of me. As a city councillor, she had portraits of colston removed from city hall. And her campaign persuaded several key institutions to drop the name. So how did you feel when you saw the statue come down . We had a message, theres been an incident. And i was like, well, what happened 7 cleo, the statues coming down. And ijustjumped on my feet. I was just so happy, cheering, and, yeah, i couldnt hold back my instant reaction, really, because its been so many years, not even in the last five or ten since i have been at school. I wasjust so, so happy. You know, we have tried to do things through the right channels, if you like. Petitioning, asking at council, requesting it. And now i am actually happy of the way it was taken out. It was very symbolic and it had to happen, and it shows that demands must be listened to and action, listened to and actioned, otherwise people will take and do what they need to do it to see the world they want to see. Its amazing that the statue has come down, but will it change anything . Yeah. Its important, it has accelerated conversations, of course it has. The removal of statues is key because we couldnt be having this discussion without it. We wouldnt have seen the institutional shifts that were experiencing. Whether thats going to be permanent and sustained remains to be seen. I think theres a lot of work to be done in education. Bristol is a prosperous city in the west of england with high income and low unemployment. But not if youre black. A mural on jamaica street near the city centre says what many will already suspect. Bristol has made waves tackling racism before. In 1963, Bus Companies refused to employ people of colour
