Ill have the full details later. Its friday, june 5. Our top story. Thereve been emotional scenes at a Memorial Service in minneapolis to george floyd, the 46 year old black man whose death at the hands of four White Police Officers has sparked protests across the United States. A lawyer for the family told mourners that a pandemic of racism led to his death. Thousands of people have demonstrated in American Cities for a tenth consecutive day, the marches have been largely peaceful. Jane obrien has more. Amazing grace. A moving farewell to george floyd from minneapolis, the city where he met his death. Family members described him as a loving father, son, and brother. George was somebody who made everybody feel welcome, like they we re everybody feel welcome, like they were special. Everybody wants justice for george, hes going to get it. Hes going to get it. The reverend al sharpton, a black activist, spoke the eulogy, but also urged protesters to seize the moment while the eyes of the world were watching to demand lasting Police Reform and confront racial injustice. What happened to floyd happens every day in this country in education, in health services, and in every area of American Life its time for us to stand up in georges name and say get your knee off our necks because of the coronavirus pandemic, the service was closed, but hundreds of people gathered at this makeshift memorial of flowers placed around the block where mr floyd died when a Police Officer knelt on his neck. Its still a crime scene, but its also become a place for people to reflect and respond to the tragedy. This is supposed to be the land of opportunity and grace. Look at this. I think this is so important, especially since im from the suburbs. This has raised a whole new movement talking about black lives matter and how we really need to come together and address this issue. The service ended with eight minutes and 46 seconds of silence to represent the amount of time mr floyd was pinned to the ground and eventually stopped breathing. Chanting george floyd what do we want . Justice his body will be taken to North Carolina for a public viewing and then to houston, texas for burial. Jane obrien, bbc news, minneapolis. Lets get the latest from our los angeles correspondent, david willis. This was an emotionally charged Memorial Service. Just tell us a bit more about how important that occasion wasnt how it was received in the us . Well, charlie, very moving indeed. And at that ceremony the reverend, al sharpton, a leading civil rights activist here said it doesnt matter if you wear blue jeans or a blue uniform, you must pay for the crime you commit. Now, we had further protests in many cities overnight here, but so far no reports of violence. Indeed, the reverend, al sharpton, said he expected protest to continue in this country through until the summer. We are expecting a Memorial Service for george floyd in about three different states over the next six days, prior to his funeral in texas next tuesday. And reverend al sharpton said he plans a mass demonstration in august in the nations capital, washington, dc to mark the famous Martin Luther king march on, where of course outside the Lincoln Memorial doctor Martin Luther king delivered that famous i have a dream speech that famous march on. And what about politicians . What reaction have you heard from them over the past 2a hours or so . I have to say President Trump has come under some criticism for his robust, some would say rather bellicose response to the protests that have sprouted up around the country. He has urged state governors to exercise a no nonsense type approach, bringing the National Guard where necessary, and so on. That is in stark contrast to his Presumptive Democratic president ial rival, joe biden, who has been urging people to come together, a much more unity and talking to each other, rather than confronting each other. So it is a starkly different tone set by these two men, just 22 weeks to go before the president ial elections here. David, thank you very much. Shortly, well be speaking to a friend of George Floyds. Thereve been a series of demonstrations here in the uk the latest in birmingham. The organisers said britain had a duty to stand in solidarity with the us and said they wanted to expose racism and Police Brutality in the uk. West Midlands Police said an estimated 4,000 people took part. Face coverings will be made compulsory for anyone using public transport from june 15, in england, to help stop the spread of coronavirus. Failure to comply with the new measures could lead to a fine. It comes as the number of people that have died from the virus in the uk reaches almost 40,000, as keith doyle reports. It does not seem that long ago that people wearing Face Coverings out and about were an oddity. Now it seems perfectly normal. And from june 15 in england it will be obligatory on buses, trains, trams, ferries, and planes. Loudspeaker use a Face Covering while travelling. There will be some exceptions for children and disabled people, but the transport secretary said that wearing a Face Covering will be a condition of travel. You cannot travel unless youre wearing the Face Covering and well have people there to remind you, there will be posters that remind you, it will be quite a visual thing that peter is working on. There will also other powers, so ultimately it could lead to fines. I very much hope we wont be in that situation. In scotland, where Face Coverings are recommended on public transport, the government will consider making them compulsory. In Northern Ireland, they are recommended where social distancing isnt impossible. And wales has not yet made any recommendations on Face Coverings. Transport unions have welcomed the move, which they said is overdue, and the doctors union, the bma, has asked why the requirement is being brought in right away and that it should be widened to other areas where social distancing isnt always possible. Voiceover nhs test and trace will contact you to trace people you might have infected. The nhs test and trace scheme in england is key to controlling the spread of the virus. Its up and running with thousands of people in place to contact those whoave come in contact with the virus. Voiceover the nhs covid19 app. Part of this is a Smart Phone App which has been trialled in the isle of wight. The government says this should be up and running by the end of the month. The app will be up and running this month . It was running in the isle of wight and we will make sure it will be running as soon as we make as soon as we think it is robust. 0k, ijust want to check, you said itll be in place this month. It will be rolled out across the uk this month . I would like to think we would be able to manage it by this month, yes. The 14 day quarantine for most arrivals into the uk, which starts on monday, has caused a rift between the government and the airline industry. British airways did not take part in a meeting with the home secretary, priti patel, yesterday. Its thought agreement on air bridges, which would help the tourism industry, is still way off. Keith doyle, bbc news. Lets get more on this, our Political Correspondent iain watsonjoins us now from westminster. Iain, good morning to you. This is quite a move moving towards compulsory Face Coverings, it isnt coming in untiljune is . Compulsory Face Coverings, it isnt coming in untiljune 15 . Thats coming in untiljune15 . Thats right. June 15 could be quite significant, that is when non essential retailers, department stores, all the rest of it will be allowed to reopen in england. More people will be going to work, more people will be going to work, more people going out shopping. So i think the government making this compulsory rather than something simply recommended, recognising it will be impossible to maintain social distancing on some forms of public transport and in some cities, therefore, Face Coverings may well help people who are asymptomatic from passing on the disease. But it is quite a turnaround from the government because previously the transport secretary grant shapps, said as masks orface transport secretary grant shapps, said as masks or Face Coverings give people a false sense of security. He says they will offer some limited protection. That is because the government is quite keen to see if they can get the economy moving again. I think this is as much a political and economic decision as much as a medical decision. And this includes what the Prime Minister himself was saying at the end of april, Face Coverings may well give people the confidence to go back to work. Certainly the mayor of london, city cant, things this is long overdue. He was recommending this for some time. Sadiq khan, overdue. He was recommending this forsome time. Sadiq khan, but the government thinks people will co operate, it could become less popular if people end up being fine. Indeed. 0k, iain, thank you very much indeed. Iain watson there. Well be speaking to the transport secretary grant shapps at 7 30am. Patients are being warned not to expect business as usual when dentists are allowed to reopen in england on monday, due to a shortage of protective equipment. Nhs england insists its continuing to work with dentists, but the British Dental Association says a survey of 2,000 practices suggests only a third are ready to carry out routine appointments. We are in a situation where many of my colleagues are really quite stressed with the timelines they have been given to actually deliver face to Face Services for patients. We are delighted we have been given the opportunity, we havent really had the support we need, i dont think. Many of my colleagues are reporting that monday is a deadline to reopen is not really something that they will be able to hit. The luxury car maker bentley is to cut 1,000 jobs in the uk, about a quarter of its workforce. The firms manufacturing site at crewe is working at half its normal capacity because of a downturn in sales. Bentley, which is owned by volkswagen, is expected to give more details later today. Those are the main stories. It is 6 12am. Take a look at these pictures from norway. Its the moment a powerful landslide caused a house to topple over and others to be swept into the sea in the town of alta. It happened after hours of heavy rain. Nobody is reported to have been hurt, but a dog had to be rescued by helicopter. Can see the rescue under way there, well despite a bit of trauma. Clearly the dog being airlifted away from some of the damage there. Amazing image. The dog is ok, no one injured. It could have been such a different story. Its certainly good. It is 6 13am. The harrowing footage of the last moments of George Floyds life as he died under the knee of a Police Officer has sparked the worst civil unrest in the United States for decades. Its not the first time americans have believed they had evidence that would result in justice. 30 years ago, a video emerged of black motorist rodney king being beaten by four white policemen. When the officers were acquitted, los angeles erupted into violence. 0ur los angeles correspondent sophie long has been talking to people who remember those events, and asking if they believe the protests over George Floyds death will finally bring change. You may find some of the images contained in this report upsetting. I immediately knew what i was seeing. There was an unconstitutional, savage, brutal beating. And i said, we have a videotape this time. Those of us that had spent years and years fighting against police abuse almost cheered, because we said finally, it cant be denied now. It was denied. When the acquittals came down, not guilty, not guilty, i called the fourth, i colonised up. I said get your children, go home, the city is going to blow. We are getting word this evening of rockthrowing values in South Central los angeles. This evening of rockthrowing values in southcentral los angeles. An already simmering fire exploded. Sto ked already simmering fire exploded. Stoked by racial and economic inequality, just as it has now. Many thought the unrest would mark a turning point, just as they do now. Nojustice, no peace we were hopeful the uprising would free us from the foot of policing on our necks, but it didnt. Most recognise there have been steps in the right direction, but they say the mission of the lapd needs to change. Until it does, this uniform will remain a symbol of persecution, not protection in most poor, black communities. Until you go to guardian policing and provide safety for poor people, as opposed to persecution and mass incarceration, you are going to see riots every generation. Nearly 30 years ago, the focal point of much of the rioting was here. Not this time. Now they are intensively protesting in affluent areas of los angeles, is even the people of Beverly Hills and bel air, dont feel their pain, they will here. While the location has changed, the faces and chance a new generation, the messages the same. We have a right to our rage. This time, we have black lives matter, we have a movement for black lives. We have a movement for black lives. We have brilliant organisers who are saying, you know what . Lets make sure we move the work into spaces of white affluence, lets disrupt their spaces, lets notjust keep the pain and angerand rage spaces, lets notjust keep the pain and anger and rage in black communities, lets spread it out. Then a Young College student who became an icon, mark reddie, says 2020 will be another important milestone. They made the most powerful man in the world go inside of his bunker. That is symbolic. When the history books are written, that is what is going to be remembered. The protists isa going to be remembered. The protists is a rainbow protists. I see who is protesting and it is a whole new generation and, considering that i have been fighting the abuse of police on African Americans literally for 47 years, i am inspired that there is a new generation ready to take up the fight. That was sophie long reporting. Lets speak now to one of George Floyds friends, pastor patrick ngwolo. Thank you for talking to us on brea kfast thank you for talking to us on breakfast this morning. May i pass on maicon my condolences, you have lost a friend. I met george floyd 2010 2011. I was lost a friend. I met george floyd 2010 2011. I was a student pastor in eastern texas and we were trying to reach the neighbourhood and, in trying to reach the neighbourhood, we threw a hip hop concert, passed out flyers in the neighbourhood and hoped that people from the neighbourhood, even though they did not know was, would come. 0n the night of the concert, we looked, we saw people from everywhere but we did not see people from the neighbourhood and out in the distance we saw one of our friends at the time and george floyd. We ran to him, he was the tallest person in the building at the time and so that was the first time we met him. Fast forward two years later, at resurrection euston, a church, we we re resurrection euston, a church, we were trying to reach the neighbourhood and what the bible calls people like george floyd are persons of peace, or calls people like george floyd are persons of peace, 01 sons calls people like george floyd are persons of peace, or sons of peace. They are essentially people who opened the village to outsiders and we we re opened the village to outsiders and we were an outsider and we were trying to break in and do ministry and he was hospitable and he opened up and he was hospitable and he opened up the neighbourhood so that people would not be suspicious of us and we could do the work we believe god called us to do. We have seen the pictures of the Memorial Service yesterday, marking, celebrating George Floyds life. What do you think George Floyds death has now done to how people feel in america about Race Relations and how this has been dealt with . about Race Relations and how this has been dealt with . I think George Floyds death is an Inflection Point in our country and it looks like the world and what i mean by that is either were to master the scriptures as they say, the original sin of racism or the original sin of racism will master us. I think we are at tha
