after saying he is "deeply concerned" about the way police handled a vigil in memory of sarah everard. the prime minister said every part of the criminaljustice system needed to work to protect and defend women and girls. among those attending today's summit will be the metropolitan police commissioner, dame cressida dick, who has resisted calls to resign in wake of the events on clapham common. this report from simonjones contains flashing images. they are scenes that have shocked and brought shame on the metropolitan police, according to some politicians and protesters. women who'd gathered to mark the life of sarah everard, at an unauthorized vigil at clapham common, taken away in handcuffs for breaching coronavirus restrictions. chanting. it's led to calls for the metropolitan police commissioner to resign, but she says she's going nowhere and has defended her officers. are you considering your position? no, i'm not. they have to make these really difficult calls. and i don't think anybody should be sitting back in an armchair and saying, well, that was done badly, or, i would have done it differently, without actually understanding what was going through their mind. but the prime minister has nowjoined the debate. in a statement, borisjohnson says: . the metropolitan police commissioner will today attend a meeting of the government's crime and justice task force. it will be chaired by the prime minister. he says the death of sarah everard must lead to a determination to drive out violence against women and girls, and make every part of the criminal justice system work to protect them. chanting. there have been further protests around westminster. on this occasion the police did not intervene. but a senior officer accused some of turning up not to remember sarah everard's life, but simply to hurl abuse at officers. one human rights group, though, says the police have yet to explain properly their actions on saturday night. i think that the police, they chose actions that were aggressive. they chose actions that were distressing. they caused chaos. and ultimately, they created the public health risk. and this is all the more sort of disgusting when you consider the people were here to protest the fact that they are unsafe in public space, that women are unsafe. the metropolitan police were already being investigated for events around the sarah everard murder inquiry. but now those investigations will go further, examining how they've responded to the huge outpouring of public emotion since her death. simon jones, bbc news. simonjoins us now

frequent services, has been promised for england. the government's strategy aims to make buses cheaper, greener and easier to use. but there are concerns the money won't be available quickly enough and recent cuts to some routes won't be reversed. our transport correspondent caroline davies reports. buses can be better. that is the message from the government today, who set out a list. they want to see simpler bus fares, more services, contactless payments, more bus lanes and 4000 electro and hydrogen buses. they have £3 billion to make it happen. councils and bus companies will need to work together to create a legally binding plan that includes introducing these ideas in order to get some of that money. it is a long wish list. some passenger groups are pleased, but want to know how it

government hopes these ideas will persuade more of us to take the bus. caroline davies, bbc news. all secondary school pupils in scotland will return to the classroom part—time from today, in the

from home where possible as coronavirus took hold. but now that the path to returning to the workplace is a little clearer. nina's here to give us the rundown on workers' rights and employers responsibilities. good morning. can you believe it has been a whole year? it never really caught on presenting breakfast from home. we tried. we will keep trying. a lot has happened in that time and it's useful to remind ourselves how it started. on the 16th of march last year, the prime minster told us people "need people to start working from home where they possibly can". but a week later, on the 23rd of march — remember the talk about flattening the curve — at that point he said you "cannot leave home unless travelling to work is absolutely necessary, and it's not possible to work from home". fast forward 12 months, and despite some periods in some parts where the restrictions loosened at various times, the advice right now is pretty much the same. work from home if you can. but there are signs of change. the government are conducting a work from home review which will conclude before june 21st. and they've pledged that all adults in the uk will be offered their first dose of a coronavirus vaccine by 31stjuly. lots of companies saying the way they work has changed permanently, and that there'll be more staff working from home on a regular basis. but what about those who are heading back? mixed feelings for many. we spoke to rebecca who works for an accountancy firm in stoke. yeah, ithink yeah, i think it is the start of that nervous excitement, apprehension. it is sort of the same energy that you get on your first day in a newjob or going to an interview. i am excited to go back. i am excited to go back and work with the team and see clients again. but it is just again it is almost that you have to you just move out of your comfort zone. we have been living in such strange circumstances for so long, it has just become the new normal. so actually having to go into contact with other people that you might not have seen for 12 months, it is quite a scary process. but we know that it needs to be done. ., , ., , .,, done. lots of people feeling nervous — something to cheer you on this grim morning — what about those who've taken an adventure further afield? katie runs a small marketing company. she spotted a scheme in barbados last year offering people a 12—month visa to work there remotely. she can't quite picture a return to the city rat race — and who can blame her? once locked and started we really -ot once locked and started we really

responsibilities to you, as more of us start spending more of our time out at work. if you've got a question send it my way via the contact details on screen. you might be weighing up whether you want to work from home, whether you feel safe going back, lots of questions around this. dan and louise come out at the moment, although the advice is to work from home where possible, that is at the discretion of your employers, as long as they have done a covid risk assessment. increasingly from june, it looks like the employers want you to go back in. it is up to them to bring you back in if they want to. open a conversation now. prove you can work from home effectively. that is the ke . can work from home effectively. that is the key. thank _ can work from home effectively. trust is the key. thank you. let's take a look at today's papers. "i'm going nowhere" is the headline from the metro. it leads with dame cressida dick's defence of the policing of this weekend's vigil for sarah everard in clapham. and the daily mail also carries that striking image of one of the women that was carried off by police officers on saturday, with the headline, "shaming of the met". the daily telegraph also focuses on the criticism faced by the met, but its main picture shows shamima begum, pictured at a detention camp in syria yesterday. she left the uk as a 15—year—old schoolgirl and is now 21. and the scotsman leads with calls from major hospitality bodies who want social distancing restrictions to be removed from restaurants in scotland byjune. first minister nicola sturgeon has so far ruled out setting a firm date. did you wealth —— watch the golf yesterday? no. excellent. that is the end of that. it yesterday? no. excellent. that is the end of that.— t
