we can t ignore it any more. we can tjust pretend that this is not happening here. it s happening here, and it s proven to have happened and has hit the country very greatly. so brilliance contributors on that programme. you can watch a little bit later on. it s on at half past seven, it s called the virus ‘the virus, the lockdown and the return of sport‘ can be seen here on bbc news at half past seven on bbc news. that s all from sportsday. plenty more to come throughout the evening, bye bye. hello and welcome to the latest in our special programmes on the coronavirus pandemic. i m annita mcveigh. on today s programme, the world health organization says that up to 40% of coronavirus cases could be people with no symptoms. and how technology is helping in the fight against the virus. you can keep up to date with the latest information about the pandemic on our website. first, there is growing evidence that a second wave of covid 19 has hit iran, which was one of the earliest epicentres of the virus, but despite the increase in cases, there is no new lockdown in place yet for the 80 million people living there. some cities have already been announced as red zones for infection. bbc persian had this report. could this be iran s second wave of coronavirus? the country was opened up from lockdown just about a month ago. and this is how it looks now in one city. buses are being used to transfer covid 19 patients to the capital of the province. it is one of at least nine provinces where infections are rising rapidly. according to iran s ministry of health, this province in the south east is now a red zone. the hospitals are full. their staff are overwhelmed. last week iran recorded the highest daily increase in the number of coronavirus cases since the first were reported four months ago. many local officials say this is a second wave of infections. but iran s president insists that the term second wave creates too much fear among people. there are no signs of social distancing here. shoppers and street vendors don t seem too worried. the authorities say this is the reason behind the recent spike, that people have ignored public health advice and travel to other cities. translation: in the last 24 hours, we learned that about 60 or 70% of the new patients have travelled to other cities recently. this has happened during holidays, as we were expecting. as life begins to look relatively normal in large parts of iran, iran s official number of cases is 176,000, with over 80,000 deaths. but many including the iranian parliament believe the correct number of infections is eight or ten times more and the death at least twice as much. the president has warned that if people don t follow social distancing, the restrictions may be reimposed. but the economy, already badly hit by us sanctions and corruption, is on its knees. many say that iran can t afford another lockdown, even if the government wants to. the who has admitted there is a big unknown about how many coronavirus infections are caused by people who don t have symptoms of the disease. one of its scientist had suggested it was rare for the virus to be spread this way, but the organisation now says up to 40% of infections could come from people who have no sign of being ill, and that could make the virus harder to stop, our science editor david shukman reports. this is a message from the government s chief medical 0fficer about coronavirus. if you or anyone in your house. for months, government advice has focused on symptoms, how you must isolate if you get them. you should all stay at home. but what about people who don t look as if they have the disease but are still carrying the virus? like paramedic chelsey mason, who had a test for coronavirus and expected to be clear. i felt absolutely fine. i came into work and had the test done, and a couple of days later i got a call back saying it was positive, so really shocked because i had no symptoms whatsoever. so, how many cases are there without symptoms? a study at addenbrooke s hospital in cambridge found that 3% of the staff are positive but didn t show it. in the us, at a care home in washington state, the numbers were higher. 56% of people with the virus had no indication of being ill. and on the diamond princess, a cruise ship offjapan, as many as 72% of positive cases showed no symptoms at all. if someone becomes infected, it may ta ke if someone becomes infected, it may take five days before they show any signs of illness. but in the 48 hours before the symptoms start, they could be passing the onus on. and there is a category of people who catch the virus, and that no stage have any symptoms at all may be for ten days or more. no one really knows. have any symptoms at all, may be for ten days or more, no one really knows, and scientists are desperate to find out how much they can spread the virus. one of the first things i thought about was, oh, my god, i have done two night shift, i have come into contact with six or seven patients per night, i have been with my crew mate for 12 hours. as much as we minimise the risk, it is still there, and with me being positive and not knowing about it, i could have passed it on. working out if that is going on now is really difficult. the government is mainly testing people who may have symptoms. those who don t might slip through the net. so scientists in norwich want to test the entire city. 100,000 people. they say it is the only way to discover who is spreading the virus. if you don t realise you are ill, as we come out of lockdown, and people are going to have more contact than they did previously, the risk from those individuals is likely to increase. the upshot is that keeping a safe distance still matters, and where you can t, governments around the world are recommending face coverings in case you have got the virus and don t know it. almost 300,000 children in india could die due to severe malnutrition and lack of access to essential life saving services over the next six months according to a study byjohn hopkins university. the rise in hunger has been made much worse by the coronavirus lockdown, with the country s daily wage earners suffering the most. millions have lost theirjobs and are struggling to feed theirfamilies. this report comes from delhi, where malnutrition levels among children were already among some of the highest in the world. too much hunger, too little food. withjobs gone, it is a fight for survival. hunger was always an issue here, but this desperation is new. for these children just outside the capital, delhi, even one meal a day now feels like a triumph. this baby is just one month old. his parents rely on daily wages to buy food, and like millions of others, they lost work after the government announced a lockdown in march. translation: we used to cook rice and vegetables before the lockdown. our children ate well. now they remain hungry because we have no money and no work. children under five are vulnerable to severe malnutrition. india is the worst in the world, with one in five children affected, and that might have become much worse. this is almost a perfect storm for malnutrition in this region, with a very vulnerable population, a decline in quantity and quality of diet and without the access to the essential services that children need to prevent and treat malnutrition. for children who were already malnourished, these months have been even harder. translation: this mother says she has lost weight during the lockdown, and her condition could worsen because there is little support. fore more than 445 years the indian government has won a child development scheme to provide nutrients and vitamins to children under the age of six. most of the more than i million centres shut down during lockdown. some of them are trying to home deliver a much smaller quantity of seafood supplements at a time when they are most critical of food supplements at a time when they are most critical for young child ren s development. now it is ordinary citizens who have stepped up. like here, where one hot meal a day is delivered to 500 children in the past two months. but it is hardly enough. translation: i can provide one or two meals, but children need breakfast, lunch and dinner. they are not getting the nutrition they need. despite a surge in coronavirus cases, the lockdown is easing. the government has a huge dilemma. how to stop the deadly spread of the disease and protect the most vulnerable, particularly children, from hunger and even starvation. they haven t yet found all the answers. that s it for now. her mind or you can that s it for now. her mind or you ca n follow that s it for now. her mind or you can follow me on twitter. had to the bbc news website for the latest information. thanks for watching. hello. it is a bit of a weekend of mixed fortunes out there. for some of us, sunny and warm conditions lasting through the weekend, elsewhere, some torrential downpours. this was the scene a little earlier in staffordshire. some earlier in staffordshire. blue sky and some fairwea cloud some blue sky and some fairweather cloud around there. through the rest of the weekend, we are expecting a mix of some blue sky and sunshine, it will feel quite warm and humid, but also some thundery downpours. that is courtesy of the area of low pressure. this cloud swirls around, it s a deep area of low pressure, moving up to the uk out of the bay of biscay. there are showers around that area, warm and humid air out there as well. as we head on into this evening, a showery theme, particularly close to that area of low pressure to the south west. for parts of wales and south west of england, potentially heavy and thundery showers. some hail and some squally winds associated with some of these thunderstorms. fewer showers as we push across more ireland and northern ireland as well. perhaps one or two. a brighter end to the day compared to how we started the day for the north of england. still quite cloudy for scotland this evening, a few showers towards the east, cooler under the cloud in scotland. elsewhere, we have got that humid air sticks with us tonight elsewhere. temperatures round about 11 to 14 celsius. a mild start to sunday. tomorrow promises something pretty similar to today. some sunshine around for many of us, cloudier for the north east of england and eastern scotland, cooler under the cloud. in the sunshine, once again, it s been quite warm or humid. generally too low, possibly even the mid 20s for some of us. again, that threat of some heavy downpours working into parts of wales and south west england, potentially a few for north west england and northern ireland. they will still be lingering around on monday, low pressure starting to ease away but we still have got it closeby on monday, so another day of sunny spells, some warm and humid conditions bulding through the day, again, that threat of heavy showers and thunderstorms, especially towards the west. further east, we will see fewer of those really heavy showers. temperatures still reasonably warm, 18 24 celsius. showers lasting through the first half of this coming week but it does look drier towards the end of the week. 00:14:27,676 >

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. the uk s government defends the decision to make face coverings compulsory on public transport but admits the benefits may be marginal. on balance we are convinced that it certainly can t do any harm, we think it will do some good, and that s why it s a good idea to introduce. my concern and i d go so far as to say my anger is the delay it s taken, because this could mean more people having caught the virus in the community because there are some times where you simply can t keep a social distance, and this delay, i think, has been good for nobody. brazil overtakes italy as the country with third highest coronavirus death toll with more than 3a,000 deaths. two police officers are suspended in buffalo, new york state after videos show they were seen shoving an elderly white man to the ground. police say they have received hundreds of emails and calls from the public about a new suspect in the madeleine mccann case. dentists are given the go ahead to reopen next week in england but a survey suggests only a third say they can do so safely. hello and welcome if you re watching in the uk or around the world and stay with us for the latest news and analysis from here and across the globe. the uk government has defended the timing of its decision to make face masks compulsory on public transport in england. from june the 15th, passengers travelling without a face covering could be fined. the british medical association says the rule should be extended to anywhere that cannot ensure safe social distancing. elsewhere, a new national helath service coronavirus contact tracing app which is at the heart of england s coronavirus track and trace programme should be in place by the end of the month, according to business minister nadhim zahawi. around the world, brazil has surpassed italy to become the country with the third highest number of coronavirus deaths, after the united states and the uk. meanwhile in france, the government s top scientific advisor has said the epidemic there is now under control. and in scotland, it s emerged that a coronavirus epidemic simulated by public health experts two years ago, highlighted potential problems, such as a lack of protective equipment. we start with this report from keith doyle. 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. the scientists have been very clear that they are struggling. they ve been struggling to provide the conclusive evidence on it. on balance, we are convinced that it certainly can t do any harm, we think it will do some good, and that s why we think it s a good idea to introduce. but as i say, there is no point introducing it if. the most important thing is two metres social distancing, so if you have two metres social distancing, then this is a marginal impact. 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 isn t possible. 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 isn t being brought in right away and that it should be widened to other areas where social distancing isn t 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. it s up and running with thousands of people in place to contact those who ve come in contact with the virus. voiceover: the nhs covid-19 app. part of this is a smartphone app which is being 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? well, 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. ok, ijust want to be cler, you said it ll 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. it s thought agreement on air bridges, which would help the tourism industry, is still way off. keith doyle, bbc news. let s get more from our political correspondent iain watson. hello to you. many other countries have recommended or made it mandatory for people to be wearing face coverings long before now. why is it only now that in england to the government is saying you must wear face coverings on public transport? i think it is all about timing. effectively the lockdown will be eased further in england on june 15, so called non essential retail, department stores and so on, will open up. there is a feeling that it will open up. there is a feeling thatitis will open up. there is a feeling that it is likely that public transport, very few people using it at the moment generally speaking, but the usage will increase because my people have to go to work in those shops more people will be doing shopping, and it may be difficult to maintain the recommended two metres of social distancing in some circumstances. therefore, to provide people with some reassurance, face masks are being suggested by the government stopped i didn t think it a particularly ha rd stopped i didn t think it a particularly hard sell from grant shapps, the transport secretary, who introduced it. he said various times ina bbc introduced it. he said various times in a bbc interview today, this was no panacea , in a bbc interview today, this was no panacea, that it was way down the list of things that are important to keep safe, way behind washing your hands for example. and indeed the scientific evidence was marginal, that effectively there has been disagreement notjust that effectively there has been disagreement not just among scientists but behind the scenes amongst government ministers on when and if they should be introduced. people will be ultimately facing fines or are being refused the right to travel if they do not comply in a little more than a week. there has been widespread criticism on the timing of it certainly, certain groups, the british medical association, some of the rail unions have been pushing for this to happen much earlier when the virus was at its peak. the mayor of london, sadiq khan, has advocated this since march, and expressed his anger today that the government had delayed for so long. my concern and i d go so far as to say my anger is the delay it s taken, because this could mean more people having caught the virus in the community because there are some times where you simply can t keep a social distance, and this delay, i think, has been good for nobody. let s talk about the contact tracing app as part of the wider test and trace strategy here in england. the minister nadhim zahawi said last night, i would like to think we could manage getting the app up and running by the end ofjune. why has the government not managed to do it before now when so many other countries have? many other countries have and there has been a debate over the technology. some people say the government is insisting perhaps on having a centralised app, a bespoke app, so that it can more easily check people s medical records. there have been some concerns about personal security, but the government is trying to reassure people. it has been trialled on the isle of wight but has never left the isle of wight despite the government saying this was a successful trial. it didn t sound entirely like an announcement by nadhim zahawi, the business minister, last night. it sounds more like an aspiration to get this done by the end of the month. but the scientific and medical advisers are suggesting this is a bit more of an optional extra these days, that actually physical contact tracing is something which could be sufficient in itself. that said, we have had various people who have meant to be involved in contact tracing telling the bbc they have been given very little to do. the government s explanation is that as infection rates fall this is probably a good thing because there are fewer contacts thing because there are fewer co nta cts to thing because there are fewer contacts to be traced. on a more worrying front, a senior executive involved in the process intended to suggest in a webinar which was obtained by the guardian newspaper that we would not have a world class system in place until september. 0k, iain, thank you very much. iain watson at westminster. astrazeneca has doubled its manufacturing capacity and can now work on making two billion doses. after striking a number of deals that include two health organisations backed by bill and melinda gates. the new deals are aimed at guaranteeing early supply of the vaccine to lower income countries. astrazeneca s chief executive spoke to the bbc earlier about how any future vaccine would be distributed. we are actually working together. by the way, i think that competition is good. i mean, competition generates innovation and new ideas and makes people work fast. in that instance, we are not competing with one another, we are competing against this virus and there is a lot of collaboration that is ongoing across industry, so we can deliver several vaccines by the fall and before the end of this year. if you are in the uk and you want to know how many coronavirus cases have beenin know how many coronavirus cases have been in yourarea, know how many coronavirus cases have been in your area, find out by going to the bbc news website, where you can see how many cases and indeed deaths at there have been where you live simply by putting in your postcode or location. brazil has now overtaken italy to become the country with the third highest number of deaths from coronavirus, after the united states and britain. the brazilian health ministry said more than 3a,000 brazilians had lost their lives with covid i9. it reported almost 1500 deaths in the last 2a hours that s more than one death every minute. in italy which faced their outbreak much ealier the overall death toll from the virus is over 33,000 people. our reporter camilla mota has been to manaus the largest city in the amazon and an area with one of the country s highest death rates from coronavirus. a month ago, he was an uber driver. now he collect bodies. every day now he takes people on their finaljourney from homes and hospitals to the biggest graveyard in manaus. that s how fast things have changed here. the service collects bodies for those who can t afford a proper burial. in april they collected 793 bodies, almost four times more than the monthly average. today, he s on his way to the home of someone who died from covid i9. the man who died that day was 80. there was no funeral, his body taken straight to the graveyard. only two family members were allowed to attend. it s hard to say goodbye during covid i9. manaus has one of the highest death rates from covid i9 in brazil. the infection rate here is a still rising, with fears there aren t enough beds for the sick. as soon as a bed is made available, it s taken by a new patient. here they re using improvised parts to treat patients. doctors say its reduced time spent in hospital. many of these patients come from outside manaus. the capital city is the only place in the state with icu beds. for a population of almost 4 million, there are less than 500 beds. at the end of his shift, he has to disinfect everything van, boots and clothes. he s following the rules strictly, but he is concerned that others are not. like him, many brazilians are waiting with a sense of unease for the peak still to come. camilla mota, bbc news. there were emotional scenes at a memorial service in minneapolis last night to commemorate the life of george floyd, the 46 year old black man whose death at the hands of four 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 o brien 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 was always welcoming, always made everybody feel like they were special. everybody wants justice. we want justice for george. he s 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! it s time for us to stand up in george s 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. it s still a crime scene, but it s 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 i m 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! when do we want it? now! his body will be taken to north carolina for a public viewing and then to houston, texas for burial. jane o brien, bbc news, minneapolis. well, the protests over george floyd s death have continued for a tenth day. they ve been largely peaceful. but in buffalo, new york, a video showed two police officers pushing an elderly man to the ground, seriously injuring his head. the incident was captured on video by a local reporter. it shows the man approaching police. one officer then pushes him with a baton and a second one pushes him with his hand. the two officers have been suspended without pay. the supreme court in the australian state of new south wales is being asked to decide whether to grant an emergency injunction to stop tens of thousands of people marching in sydney on saturday. the rally‘s in solidarity with campaigners for racialjustice in the united states. these are pictures from a similar protest in sydney, on tuesday. australia s prime minister, scott morrison, warned of the coronavirus risk involved in large gatherings. the government of new south wales argues that protesters will be unable to guarantee safe social distancing. a separate protest in melbourne is also being planned for saturday, despite threats from officials to fine the organisers. the headlines on bbc news. the uk government defends the decision to make face coverings compulsory on public transport but admits the benefits may be marginal. brazil overtakes italy as the country with third highest coronavirus deaths with more than 3a,000 deaths. two police officers are suspended in buffalo, new york state after videos show they were seen pushing an elderly white man to the ground. police say they ve received hundreds of emails and calls from the public about a new suspect in the madeleine mccann case. german detectives say they believe madeleine who disappeared in portugal in 2007 is dead, and are investigating a convicted sex offender who s in prison in germany. the businessman and praia da luz resident david jones says he helped to look for madeleine. david, thank you forjoining us today. take us back to that time because, of course, with this new thread in the investigation you must very much be thinking about the early days in the search. first of all, i will say that with this new news hopefully there will be some closure for the sony madeleine mccann family who need an answer, and that is the first thing that should be thought about. secondly, the mccanns have been held responsible by a lot of people for the disappearance of madeleine and againi the disappearance of madeleine and again i think this new news will clear that and that would be a clear thing. i live in praia da luz, i have lived here for 3h years now, andi have lived here for 3h years now, and i consider myself a very privileged person. it is a beautiful place. but it has had a lot of bad publicity. i have five children and they grew up here. i ve never thought of anything as dangerous about the place at all. it is the total opposite. i have done several interviews and what i want to do really defend praia da luz. yes, because the place, the location has unavoidably become associated with this case and of course that is not the full story of the place, but now it is back in the spotlight with this suspect in a german prison. it sounds, from what the police are saying, that he had quite a bit of notoriety in the area full stop from people you have been talking to, where they are aware of this individual? we get a lot of people go through here, a lot of characters. this is a very beautiful place and we get a lot of characters going through. i have a bar and restau ra nt, going through. i have a bar and restaurant, one of my businesses, andi restaurant, one of my businesses, and i do remember banning somebody who kind of fitted this character, but it was a long time ago and i can t remember his name. but, yeah, that happens down here. it happens anywhere in a holiday resort. but we had a lot of young people who are doing their gap year, working locally, very lovely people. and what happens is they will come to my barand what happens is they will come to my bar and the night that this actually happened, i came back, i was down by that marina, about four kilometres away, and i came back and the lights in my building were all out. i had toa in my building were all out. i had to a licence so they shouldn t have been out. i went out, i went in and asked my daughter what was happening, she was running the place. she said a young girl had gone missing. and everybody who was in the bar, they closed the bar and eve ryo ne in the bar, they closed the bar and everyone went looking. we went looking for the next week, i guess. i guess for people who live there who have a real love of this place, this community, as you do, clearly, david, you want closure, you want closure for the mccann family first and foremost, but you want closure for praia da luz. sadly, we do. it has gone on a long time. i am a father, i cannot imagine what it must have been like. also to have been blamed for the disappearance, the parents were blamed. that part of it seems to be taken away. they we re of it seems to be taken away. they were innocent, obviously. 0k, well, obviously the police investigation continues. thank you very much for talking to us, david. david johns, a long term resident of praia da luz in portugal. the death of george floyd at the hands of a white police officer in minneapolis sparked unrest across the united states and across the world. it revealed the deep racial divisions that still exist in the united states, and brought into sharp relief the disproportionate killing of black men by police officers in the america. but in the wake of george floyd s killing, questions of racial injustice resonate around the world, and how institutional and structural racism can be combatted is high up on the global agenda. to discuss this we can talk to author and activist layla saad whojoins us now from doha in qatar. thank you very much forjoining us today to talk about this. i was listening earlier to an interview that was on world service with the daughter of rodney king, and if anyone needs reminding about what happened to him in la, he was brutally beaten by four police officers who were acquitted by an almost all white jury. she said, officers who were acquitted by an almost all whitejury. she said, if your spirit is not disturbed by watching what happened to george floyd, that means you are part of the problem. she also said that more people who are not african american i fed people who are not african american ifed up and people who are not african american i fed up and that gives her hope. what are your feelings at this point, hopeful it could be different this time? we are absolutely seeing an uprising in protest, both in the us but also around the world at a level we haven t seen in a very, very long time. that definitely gives me a feeling of energy and hope and a feeling that something is changing, that the conversations are being held right now in a way they haven t before. i also know that myself and a lot of black people are cautiously optimistic because this has been going on for so long. george floyd, his murder is absolutely tragic and heinous, but he is just absolutely tragic and heinous, but he isjust one in absolutely tragic and heinous, but he is just one in a absolutely tragic and heinous, but he isjust one in a very absolutely tragic and heinous, but he is just one in a very long absolutely tragic and heinous, but he isjust one in a very long line of people who have been killed in this way, and so, yes, optimistic, hopeful, but also cautious. you say the conversation is changing, but a lot more needs to change than the conversation, of course. we have heard so much has been brought into sharp focus about the structural bias in so many ways against people of colour, that this white supremacy is in built to so many societies. how does that need to start to change? what needs to happen?m how does that need to start to change? what needs to happen? it is interesting because right now this movement we are seeing is being spiked by george floyd s murder but also in some incidents that have just happened. amy cooper, christian cooper, the murder of breanna taylor, and so on. these issues i what is causing this ignition, but many people are now looking at, how does white supremacy and structural races play out in other areas of our lives? health care, schools, politics. in companies and nonprofits. people are really having conversations across the board and thatis conversations across the board and that is what we have been wanting for a really long time, because if this conversation just ends with the arrest and conviction of these offices and we go back to the status quo, then nothing has changed. we need to look at it all. some companies have been called out. nikkei, for example, expressing its dismay at the manette nike, expressing its dismay at the murder of george floyd. but there are no african americans on their board. i noticed a petition yesterday saying that there must be greater teaching here in the uk of britain s colonial past. is that where change needs to happen, in the education sector first and foremost in your opinion? absolutely. i have studied in my schooling years with the british curriculum the whole time and i don t remember ever learning about colonisation. we learnt about the tudors and the stuarts, the vikings. we never learnt about a britain s colonising history and how it shaped the world and it is important to remember the events we are seeing now in the us and the racism that is steeped in their history, is not separate to britain s history. and so there must be a deep understanding from a very young age of the context within which we are having these conversations. otherwise people will think about racism in terms of these individual a cts racism in terms of these individual acts of violence, these consciously chosen acts of violence with no connection to that structural and institutional, historical events that have shaped what we see today. and we have heard many people say the duchess of sussex that iraq may people have said, the duchess of sussex among them, saying the worst thing people can say is nothing at all. people who say, i m not racist , what more can they do to show the solidarity and make a change? this idea that i m not racist , that is what keeps white supremacy in place. i think a lot of white people need to open up to the reality that while they may not have consciously chosen thoughts and beliefs around racism, they have been conditioned into this system of white supremacy that says that people who look like them are superior to people of other races. so it is really about getting the education down, about understanding how the society shapes how you see yourself and how you see people of other races, and how is your life. how are you able to move in your life in ways that are easier than people who are black and brown? because if we are relegating it to the bad ones, the opposite of the good ones is the bad ones, and if we say just get good ones is the bad ones, and if we sayjust get rid of those then we will have this post racial society, what we are not looking at is all of the myriad everyday ways that people who don t identify as racist racially aggressive black and brown people, and we are not looking at structural and systemic racism. so everybody is complicit in the system, everybody needs to take accountability for it and that sta rts accountability for it and that starts with doing that self examination. 0k, layla, really good to talk to you, and some really important points you raise there. the author and activist. thank you. dentists across england will be allowed to start seeing patients again from monday, but the british dental association says that shortages of protective equipment means many of them will remain closed. english health officials insist they re continuining to work with dentists on safety. dan johnson reports. phone rings. answering machine message: the surgery is now closed. empty surgeries and patients left in pain. normal surgery will not be resuming at this time. dentistry felt the lockdown more than most. despite the government s announcement. and now, there is a real struggle to reopen on monday. unfortunately there will not be any patients here. we are hoping that a week s time we might be able to start seeing some of our own emergencies and do some very basic treatment. normal dental treatment is not going to be happening for an awfully long time. this waiting room is going to be empty for months. and even then, ensuring the virus does not spread will have a huge impact. i would normally see between 50 60 patients on an average day. and what about now? now, um, when we start treating people and doing proper treatment with the drill, i think the most i will be able to see is five. only one patient will be in the surgery at a time, protective equipment will be repeatedly changed and there will be much more cleaning. so i reckon we re looking at 1.5 hours between each patient. we have literally just been given the guidance. it s given us less than one working day to get things in place. we have had to do all of this on our own, we ve had no help, no guidance. we re not expecting to see routine care patients for 2 3 months. we will be open on monday but it will only be for urgent cases. across england so many dentists say theyjust are not ready. we don t have key worker status. childcare is a massive problem. the biggest challenge has been sourcing correct personal protective equipment, ppe. patients will not be able to get through on the telephone because we re expecting to be very busy so, if that is the case, then just be patient. it is not a case ofjust getting a mask or opening the doors. we have to get policies in place. patients are ringing us up, they want to come in, we want to see our patients. i get to be a dentist today. so they have been left to treat themselves with only limited emergency care available. ahh. this was linda s attempt to do her own filling. ahh, it came out. so much need, so little capacity. we are going to come back to a very big mess. it is disappointing as a professional that those who are in charge of us give us so limited time. and a message, knowing that a message has gone out to the public which is really misleading. i have had patients shouting at me on the telephone, because they want to get their treatment finished. i wanted to leave dentistry, ijust thought, why am i bothering? what about the cost of all this? spiralling. ppe generally is up 1,000%. this treatment room is now an equipment store and fresh challenges keep coming. we have obviously got to prioritise people in pain but there are people out there who have paid for treatment, who are mid treatment, who need stuff doing, who will not get seen for months and months. and it is not that i don t want to, it s just that i want to see them in a safe manner. dentistry is nowhere near being back to normal and it is possible it never will be. dan johnson, bbc news. one in 1,000 people have coronavirus in community settings across england, the latest figures from the office for national statistics show. that works out at around 53,000 people and that new figure is considerably lower than their estimate from last week of 133,000 people. if it s going down, but if we showed the figures, it comes from a survey and there is a margin for error around them. so, we don t want to say they have halved in a week or can brown buy that much. there is a clear downward trend when you look at the figures that have been produced. you can see that in the graphjust behind produced. you can see that in the graph just behind them. produced. you can see that in the graphjust behind them. so, these are the last five weeks, where they have produced data. you can see the main estimate is the blue bar they are showing every week. it s going down, week on week. a constant trend. the headlines around them, it shows it could be higher or lower. we wa nt we want to give people a good news, but we would be remiss to not mention there are caveats? that s the big one, this week s figures 53,000, it could be high as 100,000. there is a big margin for error. you don t want to focus on any particular number. at the long term trend is reassuring. also, it s on households. they are going to homes, they are not catching prisons, care homes or hospitals. and it s a self administered swab, it s not easy to swap yourself. the true figures could be higher. that is the big takeaway, the genuine trend. what did we learn about non covid 19 deaths? we have all seen over the last two metro three months, the number of deaths across the uk have risen rapidly. most of that is due to covid deaths directly. between a quarter and a third are due to non covid deaths. the interest is trying to understand what is it, is it undiagnosed covid, is it the stresses and strains on health care system, or is it a victims of the lockdown? we have here today about people not getting to do with heart conditions. are people dying from conditions. are people dying from conditions that would otherwise have been treated? we saw the figures out yesterday, on testing. but these figures give us hints but not definitive answers. if you think about the answers you re talking about, it might take awhile before a failure to get screened turns into cancer deaths later down the road. you will not get definitive answers. we are seeing clear hints of is going on. the same old story, whenever we see a bad winter, with bad winterflu, whenever we see a bad winter, with bad winter flu, you see an increase in deaths attributed to alzheimer s. the difficulty in conveying your symptoms if you have a condition like that, it is possible that some of these deaths are attributable to undiagnosed covid in the very elderly and frail populations, but we are not getting exactly the number. the numbers that would enable you to make a trade off between the lockdown that is necessary to prevent further deaths. the headlines. the uk s government defends the decision to make face coverings compulsory on public transport but admits the benefits may be marginal. on balance, we re convinced it can t do any harm. we think it will do some good, and that s why we think it s a good idea to introduce. my concern, and i ll go as far to say my anger, is the delay is taken. because this could mean more people having caught the virus in the community. because there are some times you simply can t keep a social distance. brazil has overtakes italy to become the country third worst hit by coronavirus, with one brazilian dying every minute with covid 19. two police officers are suspended in buffalo, new york state after videos show they were seen shoving an elderly white man to the ground. the harrowing video of the last moments of george floyd s life have sparked the worst unrest in the united states for nearly 30 years. in 1993 another video of los angeles police beating a young man named rodney king caused similar outrage. sophie long has been talking to people who were there about what happened then and what, if anything, has changed. a warning, some of the images at the beginning of her report are distressing. i immediately knew what i was seeing. there was an unconstitutional, savage, brutal beating. and i said, we have a video tape this time. so i was, like, 0k. this is a no brainer now. it s on video. everything we ve been saying all this time, now it s on video. those of us that had spent years and years fighting against police abuse almost cheered because we said finally, it can t be denied now! but it was denied. when the acquittals came down, not guilty, not guilty. by the fourth not guilty i called my staff and i said get your children, go home, the city is going to blow. newreel: we are getting word this evening of some rock throwing by youths in south central los angeles. an 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. chanting: nojustice, no peace! we were hopeful the uprising would free us from the foot of policing on our necks but it didn t. most protesting for police reform 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 re intensively protesting in affluent areas of los angeles, so even though the people of beverly hills and bel air, don t feel their pain, they will see it. but while the location has changed, and the faces and chants are those of a new, younger generation, the message is 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 brilliant organisers who are saying, you know what? let s make sure we move the work into spaces of white affluence, let s disrupt their spaces, let s notjust keep the pain and anger and rage in the black community, let s spread it out. then a young college student who became an icon, mark craig, says 2020 will be another important milestone. the energy this young generation has showed right now can definitely make change. i mean, they made the most powerful man in the world go inside of his bunker. that s symbolic. when this is all written and said, and the history books are written, that s what s going to be remembered. the protests in los angeles and frankly, around the country, is a rainbow protest. i ve been out with the protesters, i see who s protesting, and it s 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. representative karen bass ending that report from our los angeles correspondent, sophie long. have you thought about brexit lately? the latest round of talks between britain and the eu on a post brexit trade deal marks the final opportunity for the two sides to move the process forward before a potentially make or break high level summit later this month. but has there been much movement in the talks? chris morris is here with the details. this was the fourth round of post brexit trade talks between the uk and the eu, which have been taking place remotely in the shadow of the coronavirus crisis. the coronavirus hasn t helped matters but it s not been the only reason these talks haven t made much progress. there s even no agreement on the structure of what they re trying to negotiate. the eu wants one comprehensive deal. but the uk sees that as an effort to keep it tied more closely than it wants to european institutions and ways of doing things. the uk argues there should be a series of separate agreements but the eu sees that as another example of the uk trying to cherry pick the benefits it wants, while avoiding obligations of eu membership. there are also specific issues on which negotiators seem to have hit a brick wall. what s known as the level playing field measures to ensure businesses on one side don t have an unfair advantages over their competitors on the other. particularly closely to eu rules on things like workers rights, environmental regulations and state aid or subsidies for business. then there s fisheries. the uk would like full access to the eu market to sell its fish there, but in return the eu wants full access for its boats to fish in uk waters. british negotiators say that has to change. and then there s the governance of any future agreement that s partly about how new agreements would be enforced, and about the role of the european court ofjustice. it normally takes years to do a trade deal but this process only has a matter of months left. remember, the uk left the eu on january the 31st and we re now in a transition period, when all the rules and regulations and payments stay the same, until the end of the year. but if no trade agreement is completed by then, the uk won t have any formal trading deal with its closest neighbours, which account for nearly half its total trade. to be agreed by the end of this month, and the eu says its willing to talk about an extension. the scottish and welsh governments are in favour, so is the northern ireland assembly. but the uk government has repeatedly ruled it out. so can any basic deal still be done? if there s political will to make concessions on both sides, then, yes, perhaps it can. the prime minister will get directly involved this month holding talks with the european commission president on how the negotiations are going. and high level political involvement can lead to progress. if it doesn t, businesses on both sides of the channel have just over six months to prepare for an abrupt change in the way they trade, at a time when many are already struggling to stay afloat. the economic challenges of covid could strengthen the case for compromise, or they could provide cover for those who favour a more radical break with the eu. spain and italy, two of the european countries hardest hit by coronavirus, are now beginning to emerge from lengthy and strict lockdowns. but are european countries anxious to open up for their tourist seasons and get flagging economies back on their feet acting too soon, and possibly risking a second wave? we can speak to two leading experts, carlo la vecchia is a professor of medical statistics and epidemiology, university of milan and jeffrey v lazarus is head of health systems at the barcelona institute for global health. thank you forjoining us. let s get a sense of what is happening with the virus in both countries, first of all. carlo canna what are things like in italy right now? well, as in other countries, the epidemic is under control, the number of deaths has decreased almost tenfold, probably more than tenfold if you ta ke probably more than tenfold if you take into account registration from the beginning of april two now. under control seems like quite a bold statement to make. do you feel confident in saying that? well, it s under control because of what i have said, the condition now, the new patients who infect a much less serious clinical picture. so the health service there is not overwhelmed. let s look at the situation in spain. what would you assess the status of the virus to be in the country right now?|j assess the status of the virus to be in the country right now? i would say it is a similar situation. in terms of under control, health care system has it under control. we are not overwhelmed, there are few new serious admissions, and almost no deaths on a daily basis. another question is the population, the population i would say is not fully under control in terms of respecting the control measures that the government has outlined, maintaining physical distance, using masks on transportation, and when they are not able to maintain those two metres. the health system is much better prepared under the control. therein, jeffrey, lies the conundrum for any country that comes out of its lockdown. how people will react, not everyone is going to react in the same way. one person s boundary and one person s interpretation of the guidelines may be very different from the next person. so, how much ofa from the next person. so, how much of a risk is there, do you think, of a second wave in spain? i m not sure i would call it a second wave. i think there is a risk of small, rolling outbreaks, like they have seenin rolling outbreaks, like they have seen in other countries, that have lifted containment measures. in south korea, someone goes into a discotheque and a day later there is 50 new cases. in israel, schools open and now thousands of people in quarantine. so we need to be extremely vigilant, because itjust ta kes a extremely vigilant, because itjust takes a super spreaders to see these small outbreaks re emerge. takes a super spreaders to see these small outbreaks re-emerge. carlo, what are your thoughts on that question, the risk of a second, wider outbreak, or, potentially, spikes within specific areas of the country? well, centrally, we will not be back to that a situation in march or early april. first, we have to end it this way, we are still not finished. we are still at about 70 deaths a day, we three have 370 cases in intensive care units. so, i think it will take a few weeks to end it this way. whether other ways are possible is unknown now. but there is something strange. because this is the first epidemic in history where a case has been defined on the basis of laboratory tests. and also, the definition in january was pneumonia and a positive test. now we have defined the cases as symptomatic subjects, with a positive test that makes all the estimates difficult. we still have a large numberof estimates difficult. we still have a large number of symptomatic cases in the population, and we don t know whether they may be able to spread it. i want to ask geoffrey, do you think there is a tendency, subconsciously or otherwise, for authorities to lean towards the most positive interpretation of the situation, because countries clearly wa nt to situation, because countries clearly want to open up to tourists?|j situation, because countries clearly want to open up to tourists? i do think there is a tendency. i mean, all governments, but i would say all of us, are looking for positive trends, are looking for success stories. and, of course, countries in southern europe, spain in particular, are particularly dependent on tourism. that does not mean that numbers are being falsified. but i think there is a tendency to airon falsified. but i think there is a tendency to air on the side of being positive, and i think that could be a good thing. at the same time, we have to have trust in our numbers, trusting our governments. so we need them to reminders that we are not out of the pandemic yet, not at all out of the pandemic yet, not at all out of the pandemic, but we have to be extremely vigilant moving forward. thank you both very much. the royal hospital in chelsea home of the chelsea pensioners has been hosting its annualfounders day parade this week. a more sombre and scaled back event than normal because of the coronavirus pandemic. like many care homes it s been particularly hit hard, with 10 veterans dying from the virus, and dozens more infected. our defence correspondent jonathan beale reports. earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust. with an average age of 82, death is part of life for the chelsea pensioners but, with the coronavirus, it has hit this community of army veterans especially hard. he was one of life s gentleman. lockdown has prevented them from attending the funerals of friends but they still remember every life lost with a simple service in the grounds. for the chaplain, it has been particularly busy. my normaljob is to take funerals but we have had 18 in ten weeks ten through covid, eight other causes. and we have been unable to hold funerals here in the chapel. people have told me that this has been much worse than anything they ever encountered during many years of service. the royal hospital went into lockdown well before the rest of the country, and the 300 pensioners who live here they took careful precaution, including military discipline social distancing, but that did not stop covid from breaching their defences. monica parrott is one of the 71! pensioners who contracted the virus and recovered. she says she feels blessed. it was awful but what was horrible as well is the fact that you are a bit scared. you do start to think a bit negatively about what is going to be happening to you and, you know, you feel a bit sorry for yourself and having a little cry now and again, a big cry now and again. even in this crisis, they ve soldiered on. fouders day is normally their grandest of occasions, with most of the pensioners on parade, with family and hundreds of guests. this year it has had to be scaled back, with most pensioners watching from their windows. the royal hospital is better resourced than most care homes, with their own dedicated staff and even their own hospital on site, but that has not kept them immune from the virus. somehow, despite all our drills, it got in here and i think that is an illustration ofjust how difficult this disease is to deal with and hospitals, care homes all around the country have found that, despite their best efforts, it gets past the defences, and so the key is to have the procedures inside the place that contain it. that is what we have in place now. # we ll meet again, don t know where, don t know when.#. singing old songs, along with a bit of military dark humour have kept their spirits up throughout this crisis. they have even turned a lawn into an aptly named outdoor pub. while elsewhere the lockdown is now easing, they will still remain confined to base, but the pensioners too are looking forward to better times ahead. the upside is i have been in damnsite worse places than this and i ve been in trenches and and i ve been in sangers up in the hills of south arabia, at least here i get three meals a day and go to my bed at night and, best of all, nobody is shooting at me. have no fear, don t worry about it, we will meet again. # i know we ll meet again some sunny day.#. bravo, bravo. you re watching bbc news. rebecca jones will be with you from 11. now it s time for a look at the weather with sarah keith lucas hello. it was a fairly cool start to the day. we ve already had some heavy showers around. expect those showers to last over the next few days. so, a cooler, showery theme to the weather. also notice the winds are going to be strengthening, too. throughout today, and more especially into tomorrow, with low pressure driving our weather, sitting up towards the east here. lots of isobars on the map and plenty of showers rotating around that area of low pressure. so, sunny spells and scattered showers for most of us today. more persistent rain into the north of scotland later on. some of the showers, particularly parts of eastern england, could be heavy with hail and thunderstorms as well. fewer showers reaching the far south of england. not immune to the odd shower here, but a little bit drier. gusty winds, 35 or 45 mph, perhaps to parts of the irish sea, up to the north west of scotland, some of those costs could reach 50 or 60 mph at times. so, blustery winds, combined with heavy showers and more persistent rain pushing in across the north of scotland. temperatures out there today, somewhere between nine or 17 degrees, a lot cooler than it has been over the last couple of weeks. a little below par for the time of year. the heaviest of the showers and thunderstorms should fade away for a time overnight, but then we see the next area of rain working out of scotland, through northern ireland, northern england and north wales, too. clearer spells either side of that. quite a chilly night, with temperatures quite widely down into mid to single figures. saturday starts with low pressure very much in charge. you can see the real squeeze in those isobars, especially across northern and western parts of the uk. that s where you see some of the strongest winds. do be aware that, through today and into tomorrow, especially across the northern half of the uk, we could see gusts of wind up to 60 mph, enough to cause some disruption, particularly trees in full leaf. saturday, a few spells of sunshine through the morning. at heavy showers pushing their way south through the day. again, some hail and thunder possible, particularly across parts of eastern england. temperatures 11 or 18 degrees on saturday. not too bad when you do see the sunshine coming through. slightly lighter wind by the time we get a sunday. still some showers around, most likely around the east coast. fewer showers further west and still quite chilly for the time of year. in the east, temperatures only ten or 13 degrees, towards the south west we could see 19 celsius or so. as we head through next week, a few showers around. but generally a bit drier and lighter winds, too. bye for now.
this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. the uk s government defends the decision to make face coverings compulsory on public transport, but admits the benefits may be marginal. on balance we are convinced that it certainly can t do any harm, we think it will do some good, and that s why it s a good idea to introduce. my concern and i d go so far as to say my anger is the delay it s taken, because this could mean more people having caught the virus in the community because there are some times where you simply can t keep a social distance, and this delay, i think, the pharmaceutical giant astrazeneca is to start producing a potential vaccine for coronavirus. it says it will be able to supply two billion doses of the vaccine. brazil has overtakes italy to become the country third worst hit by coronavirus, with one brazilian dying every minute with covid 19. two police officers are suspended in buffalo, new york state after videos show they were seen pushing an elderly white man to the ground. police say they have received hundreds of emails and calls from the public about a new suspect in the madeleine mccann case. hello and welcome if you re watching in the uk or around the world, and stay with us for the latest news and analysis from here and across the globe. the uk government has defended the timing of its decision to make face masks compulsory on public transport in england. from june the 15th, passengers travelling without a face covering could be fined. the british medical association says the rule should be extended to anywhere that cannot ensure safe social distancing. elsewhere in england, new figures out this morning give a clearer indication of the rate at which coronavirus cases are declining. the office for national statistics suggests the number of new daily cases in households in england has fallen to 5,600 a day. around the world, brazil has surpassed italy to become the country with the third highest number of coronavirus deaths, after the united states and the uk. meanwhile in france, the government s top scientific advisor has said the epidemic there is now under control. and in scotland, it s emerged that a coronavirus epidemic simulated by public health experts two years ago highlighted potential problems, such as a lack of protective equipment. we start with this report from keith doyle. 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. the scientists have been very clear that they are struggling. they ve been struggling to provide the conclusive evidence on it. on balance, we are convinced that it certainly can t do any harm, we think it will do some good, and that s why we think it s a good idea to introduce. but as i say, there is no point introducing it if. the most important thing is two metres social distancing, so if you have two metres social distancing, then this is a marginal impact. 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 isn t possible. 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 isn t being brought in right away and that it should be widened to other areas where social distancing isn t 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. it s up and running with thousands of people in place to contact those who ve come in contact with the virus. voiceover: the nhs covid-19 app. part of this is a smartphone app which is being 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? well, 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. ok, ijust want to be cler, you said it ll 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. it s thought agreement on air bridges, which would help the tourism industry, is still way off. let s get more from our political correspondent iain watson. lets talk about face coverings, because there has been much talk about them, has there not? just tell me why they are being introduced in england now? the government say they are being introduced now quite simply for two reasons, rebecca. first of all, injune 15, simply for two reasons, rebecca. first of all, injune15, there will bea first of all, injune15, there will be a further easing of lockdown in england, when nonessential retail, department stores and so on, can open up, and secondly, that is assumed to mean there will be an uptick in public transport use. it has been very low at the moment, only around 5% of the normal travelling public taking two trains and buses. so if that demand increases, social distancing may become difficult, and that is understandable in some cities, therefore, a face mask may be helpful to stop the the spread of disease. so that is the government position, but i that it was interesting that we had from the transport secretary there, grant chaps, who is responsible for the implementation of this policy, and did not sound hugely enthusiastic about it. grant shapps. he said it could make a marginal impact if you contain social distancing, and it is way behind other things that can keep you safe, such as washing your hands. scientists say it is not a panacea. so i think there has been some disagreement between scientists and government ministers behind the scenes as to when or if this policy should be introduced. nonetheless, it will be mandatory and we could be facing finds from june the 15th of we do not wear facemask. some people have pressed for this to happen a lot earlier, including the british medical association, some transport unions, and the mayor of london, who said backin and the mayor of london, who said back in march she was actually very angry that the government had delayed for so long. my concern and i d go so far as to say my anger is the delay it s taken, because this could mean more people having caught the virus in the community because there are some times where you simply can t keep a social distance, and this delay, i think, has been good for nobody. interesting that sadiq khan was talking about a delay, but the government position was that it would not have been necessary to introduce mass earlier when the virus was at its height, because fewer people were public transport, you could maintain a difference, and that will be coming under pressure as lockdown eases. maintain a distance. ian, thanks so much. the bbc has just announced the new director general of the bbc. with me now as our media editor. who is it? rebecca, it is tim davie, the current boss of bbc studios, the commercial wing of the bbc. he is a member of the bbc board and was acting director general before tony hall got thejob. he beat acting director general before tony hall got the job. he beat a very tough list of four people, including charlotte moore, director of content, will lewis, a former newspaper editor and britain, who was a publisher in rupert murdoch s company in america, the uk boss of amazon. tim davie was a popular figure, charismatic, coming from a commercial background. he went to cambridge university and then joined procter & gamble, rose up to become vice president of marketing at pepsi, so he has had quite a commercial upbringing before joining the bbc. he was former director general mark thompson s first external appointment to the bbc and went on to run audio and music, so he is in charge of the bbc‘s radio stations before becoming director general. he is a charismatic and popular figure who has got lots of other roles. he previously worked a bit more children in need and was the chairman of comic relief, so he has a wide portfolio of positions. it will be interesting to see if he gives those up. and he has the support of the staff he works with. having said all that, tony hall, the current director general, whose term will end in september when tim davie starts, have the toughestjob of any director general in the history of the bbc, and tim davie sjob will be a hell of a lot tougher than that. i was going to ask you. what is in his inbox? you will run out of room on the paper! how the bbc is funded is just on the paper! how the bbc is funded isjust top of on the paper! how the bbc is funded is just top of the list, isn t it? yes, huge range of challenges. i can list some that we know about. director generals are generally remembered by how they remember to crises they could not foresee how they respond to crises. such as people getting into arguments with producers or the issue of gender pay, which has dominated the later stages of tony hall s range. i think you were to rank them, you would say there was a political challenge. he has to enter a very tough negotiation with a government that ina negotiation with a government that in a recent election made some pretty aggressive noises about the future of the bbc. that negotiation is about the future of the licence fee, which underpins the funding of the bbc. there is a huge discussion to be had about the commercial model of the bbc. we live in a global media landscape which is hyperinflationary, and for most of its nearly 100 years, the bbc dominated both news and entertainment. it does not in the way that it used to, so there is a question of whether tim davie will wa nt to question of whether tim davie will want to move to a new model. well it follow some kind of household charge, will they be more international revenue raised ? charge, will they be more international revenue raised? he is in the position to do that, having run bbc worldwide. then there is the matter of maintaining programme quality and the bbc‘s reputation for trust and impartiality, which it still rates fairly highly on around the world. that is a heck of a lot harder in an age of social media and critics of the bbc have a platform and can go viral by saying what they don t like about the bbc. so there is none of that stuff, the culture of the bbc, making sure it is truly representative, and it is also, above all, a job which combines the public facing, commercial and political challenges with editorial responsibility. the director general is this unique position, both in charge of the news operation and in charge of the news operation and in charge of the tv programming and all of that commercial stuff. so it is hellishly difficult. absolutely. don t go away, because the bbc has put out a statement which i would just like to show everyone. this is a statement from tim davie, the new director general of the bbc. sorry, i ve got to put my glasses on. so that is a statement from tim davie. no doubt we will hear from him later. you mentioned the challenges, amol. among them is attracting younger audiences whilst also not alienating existing, perhaps older audiences. you re absolutely right. there are two massive trends in global media which area massive trends in global media which are a huge challenge, even a struggle for the bbc. one is in the cost of content, which gets more and more expensive as american streaming giants massively inflate the cost, but the other is, what do you do about young audiences? the fact is, the bbc simply can t have the grip on younger audiences are traditionally hard, because they have elsewhere to go. the trouble is, for the bbc model to work, the licence fee, which is this universal theme which everyone has to pay if they own a tv, for it to work, it must give something to everyone, including young people. so finding a way of making an offer to these young people it makes them feel like the bbc is a big part of their life and with paying for it is going to bea and with paying for it is going to be a huge part of tim davie s tenure, however long it may be. it is also worth saying that something interesting about his appointment is that recent directors, tony hall, and his predecessor who did not last long because of the fall out of the jimmy savile affair, before him, mark thompson, have all come from a news background. tim davie was slightly different. he is a commercialfigure with slightly different. he is a commercial figure with a global outlook, and to a significant extent, his appointment by the bbc board, led by chairman sir david clementi, it s obviously a verdict on tim davie and his credentials, but also a verdict on what they think the coming challenge for the bbc will be. i suspect tim davie will go into number ten, downing street to meet with the prime minister in dominic cummings, perhaps socially distance, perhaps on zoom to begin with! but i suspect he will go in there and has to make a pitch about what he brings to the bbc which others don t, and i think it s pitch will be to them, do you wa nt it s pitch will be to them, do you want a bbc to be a global force, it s pitch will be to them, do you want a bbc to be a globalforce, do you want it to be a global power, a cultural institution that matters around the world ? cultural institution that matters around the world? if so, you need to liberate us to make more money. i think that will be the nature of his negotiation with the bbc. sorry, with the government. and i think it will play heavily. i think the thing he will call on is the fact he has this international experience and is all about generating revenue for the bbc. i would never pick you up on anything! it was a gentle operating! tim amol rajan, good to talk to you. the chief executive of the drug company astrazeneca has told bbc news his company will be able to supply two billion doses of a potential virus vaccine following two new deals. the agreements one with a firm in india and another backed by bill gates will allow it to double production. pascal soriot says they should know by september if the vaccine works: we are actually starting the manufactured now as we speak. we are not waiting until we get the results, and that is the reason that this is going to be shared with the organisations we are partnering with. we are actually working together. by the way, i think that competition is good. i mean, composition generates innovation and new ideas, and makes people work fast. in that instance, we are not competing with one another. we are competing with one another. we are competing against this virus, and there is a lot of collaboration that isn t going against industry, so we can deliver several vaccines. by the fall, and before the end of this year. brazil has now overtaken italy to become the country with the third highest number of deaths from coronavirus, after the united states and britain. the brazilian health ministry said more than 311,000 brazilians had lost their lives with covid 19. it reported almost 1,500 deaths in the last 21! hours. that s more than one death every minute. in italy, which faced their outbreak much earlier, the overall death toll from the virus is more than 33,000 people. our reporter camilla mota has been to manaus, the largest city in the amazon, and an area with one of brazil s highest death rates from coronavirus. a month ago, he was an uber driver. now he collects bodies. every day now he takes people on their finaljourney from homes and hospitals to the biggest graveyard in manaus. that s how fast things have changed here. the service collects bodies for those who can t afford a proper burial. in april they collected 793 bodies, almost four times more than the monthly average. today, he s on his way to the home of someone who died from covid 19. the man who died that day was 80. there was no funeral, his body taken straight to the graveyard. only two family members were allowed to attend. it s hard to say goodbye during covid 19. manaus has one of the highest death rates from covid 19 in brazil. the infection rate here is a still rising, with fears is still rising, with fears there aren t enough beds for the sick. as soon as a bed is made available, it s taken by a new patient. here they re using improvised parts to treat patients. doctors say its reduced time spent in hospital. many of these patients come from outside manaus. the capital city is the only place in the state with icu beds. for a population of almost 4 million, there are less than 500 beds. at the end of his shift, he has to disinfect everything van, boots and clothes. he s following the rules strictly, but he is concerned that others are not. like him, many brazilians are waiting with a sense of unease for the peak still to come. a uk government minister says a new nhs coronavirus contact tracing app should be in place by the end of the month. the nhs app was originally planned to be part of last week s launch of england s test and trace scheme, but the app roll out was delayed because more trials were needed. scotland launched its tracing scheme last week while northern ireland already had a contact tracing programme up and running. wales began its scheme on monday. i m joined now by michael lewis, professor of life science innovation at the university of birmingham, and non executive chairman of the developers of the uk s nhs patient healthcare app mygp. professor lewis, we are very grateful for your time. professor lewis, we are very gratefulfor your time. thanks professor lewis, we are very grateful for your time. thanks for joining us here on bbc news. test and is clearly a crucial part of the government has micro strategy. first of all, what is your understanding of all, what is your understanding of what progress is being made to roll it out in this country? test and trace. there are three components. it is test, trace and track, including an app. i am very concerned today. it was covered this morning, and they said the app would not be available until september or october. sorry to interrupt. the government have suggested it will be in place by the end of the month. i think a senior executive in the process has suggested that may not be until september.” process has suggested that may not be until september. i think he also said that. you asked him if it would be available for all of the uk. i think that was slightly dodged. my concerns are really that we work with mygp, which is used by 1.7 million people in this country to book appointments, get medicines delivered for free, and also do remote video consultations with gps, which has rocketed recently, and they are concerned about two things. they are concerned about the delays. they are concerned about the delays. they are concerned about the delays. they are also concerned about not being consulted about how the data is going to be used as well. you covered a piece where you said the data itself held in this track, test and trace app will be held for 20 yea rs, and trace app will be held for 20 years, which does concern people. the government has opted for a centralised system, which has to be built from scratch. that makes it slow and shows the problems, the multiple times we have had to test it on the isle of wight for a population of 90,000. first, what was available and still is now, systems produced by apple and google, big tech giants, big, decentralised systems. data is stored on your handset, not on a government website somewhere, and you can have it. places like france and switzerland have it. catalonia, just one region in spain, has it. south korea, singapore, australia. it is think possibly that we might not have this until after the summer holidays, when people are predicting a second wave, sojuly and august, that really concerns me. and when you think the uk on wednesday had more deaths in the uk then we had across the whole of the rest of the eu, we need to have systems in place now. baroness harding, dido harding, she needs all the tools available. given you make a very persuasive case for this, why has it not been taken up? you know what? back in march and april, we offered, at mygp, we send briefings to nhs x and matt hancock, and offered to help. we are not here to criticise. the whole tech community of the uk is here to help. but i think at the moment, we are not being listened to. we are on standby. we could take a step and try multiple parts, not just going on one. you heard from pascal from astrazeneca earlier. there are 23 vaccines in developing, so why is there only one app? that s followed multiple parts, and whoever gets to the finishing line first, let s go with that one so we have something. i m sorry, what you are saying is fascinating, but why do you think there is only one app in development? do you know what? it strange, isn t it? we have a centralised nhs system when we have opted for a central app with a central database. in opted for a central app with a central data base. in my opted for a central app with a central database. in my opinion, we should have gone on multiple tracks. like i said, there are 123 vaccines in development, and the government is paying for the imperial college and the oxford vaccines, so why not play multiple horses in the race for the best track and trace app? so we have the best tools available to test, track and trace. we have testing going on now. very good. now we need to do the tracking, and uses many digital technologies as we can. we are on standby to help. thank you for explaining that. you know there is an ethical debate, which you have touched on, around patient data, and there is a view of this information belongs to the patient and not the state, and i suppose perhaps there is the potential danger, if you have multiple apps and platforms, it makes your data less secure. we already share data. i mean, there is so much data apple and google have a nyway so much data apple and google have anyway about what you are doing, what you search on your internet browser, where you are, gps. i think that horse has bolted in terms of data. the thing which concerns me is, which i saw a couple of days ago, is that the government wants to hold the data for 20 years. and as pa rt hold the data for 20 years. and as part of the pandemic legislation they put in place in march, that data can be freely shared around the health care system with very little consent, so i am concerned about privacy, and concerned that if the privacy, and concerned that if the privacy issues not addressed, people won t take up the app, which is a problem. you need to get about 50-60% of problem. you need to get about 50 60% of people using the app to have effective system. and i think concerns about privacy will drive that down. i think we need to get something out, because we are already seeing 10 11 countries introducing measures back again, lockdown measures, because they haven t got a handle on the virus. we need all the tools we can possibly have to drive this virus down. professor michael lewis, really good to talk to you. thanks forjoining us. to the united states now. several videos of police brutality have emerged during protests of the death of the african american george floyd. this incident, which happened in buffalo, new york, was captured in a shocking video by a local reporter. it shows a 75 year old man approaching police. one officer then pushes him with a baton and a second one pushes him with his hand. the two officers have been suspended without pay. the man is a stable but serious condition. well, last night there were emotional scenes at a memorial service in minneapolis to commemorate the life of george floyd, the 46 year old black man whose death at the hands of four 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 o brien 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 was always welcoming, always made people feel like they were special. everybody wants justice. we want justice for george. he s 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! it s time for us to stand up in george s 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. it s still a crime scene, but it s 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 i m 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! when do we want it? now! his body will be taken to north carolina for a public viewing and then to houston, texas for burial. jane o brien, bbc news, minneapolis. in the past hour, the supreme court in the australian state of new south wales has granted an emergency injunction to stop tens of thousands of people marching in sydney on saturday. the rally‘s in solidarity with campaigners for racialjustice in the united states. these are pictures from a similar protest in sydney, on tuesday. australia s prime minister, scott morrison, had warned of the coronavirus risk involved in large gatherings. the judge said allowing the protest would defy the rulings of government ministers and the public health officers who advised them. one in 1,000 people have coronavirus in community settings across england, the latest figures from the office for national statistics show. that works out at around 53,000 people and that new figure is considerably lower than their estimate from last week of 133,000 people. i m joined by our head of statistics, robert cuffe. what does community settings mean? this is a survey of picking houses at random and asked them to take a swa b at random and asked them to take a swab and do the test subject is a survey of households you do not get prisons or hospitals so that is what is meant by community settings and england. it is giving quite a broad picture and what do these figures tell us about infections? that they are coming down, a clear trend, and in each of the five weeks there is a consistent pattern of decline so we can show it was figures to the audience. this is taking into account the easing of the lockdown. the most recent figures go from me 24 to the our streak in me which shows you exactly the time period. some as before the measures started to decline but some is after and what you see is the trained week on week a steady for to a rate of one and 1000 people in england currently having the virus. there s margin of error, if you scented to different households you would get different numbers and that is what the error bars represent circuit be a little higher or lower. the trend is downwards but it hasn t definitely halved by that much. we know the estimate of r are not consistent, they are telling us the rate of growth are shrinking and this is a direct estimate and together the suggested infections are going down but you would not say they are having. any other caveats? it is difficult to swab yourself so sometimes the tests can be wrong and it is could be underestimating the number of infections ever to a bit but the clear trend as downwards so the numbers we are seeing we have estimating and owned 5500 new infections every day in england and that gives you a sense of the size of the challenge that the context racers will face, maybe five and infections but the number of contact tracers we have should be up to that task, that is a possibility so the number of infections are within that range. what do we know about the number of deaths? overall they have been coming down and read see that particularly an covid deaths and all cause death but one of the big mysteries as the extra deaths above what we would expect at this time of year that are not covid, not mentioned on the death certificate and we have a new analysis from an office of national statistics saying a good chunk of the extra death is due to underdiagnosis of covid and very frail people and we see the artist number of non covid excess deaths and the very elderly and people in care homes and the biggest cause of death things like same as all associations with fidelity and you can imagine the difficulty of expressing your symptoms it doesn t tell us the exact number and so there are other possible reasons, it doesn t tell us they did percent of this is caused by underdiagnosis, just a good chunk. police say they have received hundreds of emails and calls from the public about a new suspect in the madeleine mccann case. german police say they believe madeleine who disappeared in portugal in 2007 is dead, and are investigating a convicted sex offender who s in prison in germany. our europe correspondent, gavin lee, has been looking at the public response to the police s latest appeal for new information. clearly it has made an impact in the last 48 over since this german equivalent of crimewatch was aired, 5 million people watched and they have had very useful information and still getting calls and the uk, the police saying they have had almost 300 calls, still getting e mails and calls, they have put up a £20,000 reward for information that leads to the conviction of the person or persons responsible for the disappearance of madeleine mccann who was taken from apartment five a behind me and 2007. we have been speaking to locals and residents here who say they knew this man, they recognise has pictures, christian b as he has been named. one of two images that have been published by german police saying that if anyone has information on this properties he has been using. one person said they were contacted by german police to ask questions about this man, they had him having about this man, they had him having a skimming argument with his partner and that he had been involved in any fight and aggressively acting towards another german man say they have no idea of his reported child sex convictions in germany. another resident said the better way of him to another property which we was used as a storage facility. when goods forestalling goods. suggestions she was a drifter but no active appeal from the police saying they should focus on the who are here 2007 who may have by chance photos on videos of the suspect with the cat he was driving to piece together more evidence. john mcgee is a columnist with the sunday independent in ireland. he was staying with his familyjust a couple of hundred yards from the ocean club resort in praia da luz when madeleine was taken. i wondered if you could take us back to that time and wonder how aware you wear that suspicious activity was occurring in the resort at that time. completely oblivious to it up until madeline disappeared. we were therefore a week beforehand and it was a sleepy little village, on the western fringe of the algarve which has been untainted by the worst excesses of mass to dozen and it was afamily excesses of mass to dozen and it was a family resort because of that. it was also pre season so at the time it was relatively quiet but we only became aware of something happening that night as we returning from dinnerand as we that night as we returning from dinner and as we prepared to get ready for bed there was lots of people frantically rushing along the streets and be saw them checking swimming pools and alleys and lanes and we didn t really know what was going on and thought that was initially the noise was quite loud and seem to have died down once and past our apartment and that was the last we heard of it. the next morning the reception area and the hotel had pictures of madeline and they had been hastily put together overnight and from then onwards and became apparent that something terrible had happened in the village and that a little girl had gone missing. within a matter of hours the bar and the complex where we we re the bar and the complex where we were staying became the media hub for the study and news teams from all europe descended. in those days and weeks after madeline disappeared tojuicy anything and weeks after madeline disappeared to juicy anything suspicious and weeks after madeline disappeared tojuicy anything suspicious did you see anything suspicious? as a journalist used but unusual things and we did see a couple of people acting suspiciously. in what way? just people that looked out of place and a certain environment. there was one particular person who later matched the identity photos issued by the metropolitan police and 2017. we saw people acting strangely and fairgrounds, one gentleman videoing children and a water park couple of miles away, we saw a van, a tote at pick speeding past on the way home from the restaurant on the night madeleine disappeared. tiny things but with the benefit of hindsight they stack up and you begin to wonder. i know you were contacted by the police, what did you say to them? basically when we returned to dublin we were not initially contacted dublin we were not initially co nta cted by dublin we were not initially contacted by portuguese police which i found rather strange so we felt compelled to give a statement to the irish police when we returned to dublin which we did which was then forwarded on to interpol. by then they were involved in the case. then when operation grange was set up we we re when operation grange was set up we were contacted by one of the detectives on the case and i had a quite extensive conscious position and made a few statement to the officer extensive conversation andi officer extensive conversation and i got the sense that they had come across this was an unusual investigation and that i got the impression that perhaps the portuguese police had slightly bungled the original investigation. basically we gave statements outlining where we were that night, the roots we took, where we saw the van speeding. we saw a van speeding, not necessarily the camper van, we saw a pick up truck speeding and this was a sleepy village so a pick up truck speeding down a hill at 10pm is rather unusual. we outlined our concerns about that and provided and so far as we could recall the details of the features of the people that we saw hanging around various times during the week before. sorry to interrupt, the clock is ticking and it is fascinating what you are telling us, i wanted to bring you up to date briefly and ask you what your reaction as to the latest development is someone who has been closely involved ? development is someone who has been closely involved? i have written about it a few times and to date it seems like the most credible suspect has emerged and there have been numerous suspects identified by detectives on operation grange but in my view this seems like the most likely suspect. you have to be very careful, the evidence against this person as circumstantial and that is why i think it is important that people who were on holiday at the time anybody in the village aren t friends on duke forwards and help with the investigation. thank you for talking to us. the latest round of talks between britain and the eu on a post brexit trade deal marks the final opportunity for the two sides to move the process forward before a potentially make or break high level summit later this month but has there been much movement in the talks chris morris has the details. this was the fourth round of post brexit trade talks between the uk and the eu, which have been taking place remotely in the shadow of the coronavirus crisis. the coronavirus hasn t helped matters but it s not been the only reason these talks haven t made much progress. there s even no agreement on the structure of what they re trying to negotiate. the eu wants one comprehensive deal. but the uk sees that as an effort to keep it tied more closely than it wants to european institutions and ways of doing things. the uk argues there should be a series of separate agreements but the eu sees that as another example of the uk trying to cherry pick the benefits it wants, while avoiding obligations of eu membership. there are also specific issues on which negotiators seem to have hit a brick wall. what s known as the level playing field measures to ensure businesses on one side don t have an unfair advantages over their competitors on the other. all trade agreements have them, but the eu wants the uk to stick particularly closely to eu rules on things like workers rights, environmental regulations and state aid or subsidies for business. then there s fisheries. the uk would like full access to the eu market to sell its fish there, but in return the eu wants full access for its boats to fish in uk waters. british negotiators say that has to change. and then there s the governance of any future agreement that s partly about how new agreements would be enforced, and about the role of the european court ofjustice. it normally takes years to do a trade deal but this process only has a matter of months left. remember, the uk left the eu on january the 31st and we re now in a transition period, when all the rules and regulations and payments stay the same, until the end of the year. but if no trade agreement is completed by then, the uk won t have any formal trading deal with its closest neighbours, which account for nearly half its total trade. by law, any extension to the transition period would have to be agreed by the end of this month, and the eu says its willing to talk about an extension. the scottish and welsh governments are in favour, so is the northern ireland assembly. but the uk government has repeatedly ruled it out. so can any basic deal still be done? if there s political will to make concessions on both sides, then, yes, perhaps it can. the prime minister will get directly involved this month holding talks with the european commission president on how the negotiations are going. and high level political involvement can lead to progress. if it doesn t, businesses on both sides of the channel have just over six months to prepare for an abrupt change in the way they trade, at a time when many are already struggling to stay afloat. the economic challenges of covid could strengthen the case for compromise, or they could provide cover for those who favour a more radical break with the eu. well here to discuss that is georgina wright from the institute for government. what is your understanding of how far the talks have progressed? we haven t had the place conference yet but i don t think anyone was expecting a breakthrough but both sides were hoping for progress. there has been some movement, negotiations on security and intimates but the stumbling blocks mentioned on fish and governance remain so at is crucial what happens over the next few months. what in of you is the biggest stumbling block on is it not possible to separate out? i think it is a series of quite substantial stumbling blocks because the uk point of departure is very different. typically an eu trade negotiation lasts between 18 months and six years, edward b numberfor the stage to be far apart at this point but it is notjust about trade, it is security and crucially there is no status quo to come back on at negotiations break down salt from one day to the next on 1st of january 2021 businesses will be operating any radically different environment and that is why prime minister and eu leaders are going to look at what is happening this month and decide what to do next. you could forgive leaders for perhaps having that isolates the off the ball in terms of the coronavirus pandemic, i wonder what your view is as to whether that will have any effect. it is interesting, the german ambassador to the eu yesterday speaking in brussels said obviously attention has been fully on covid at the moment, brexit is important and the eu relationship but he did not think you leaders would be intervening at this point because again it is still quite early. as the pressure mounts and particularly the uk to say to didn t wa nt to particularly the uk to say to didn t want to extend beyond the end of the year you can see more political intervention. a lot of analysts suspect no real movement until the summer so suspect no real movement until the summersoi suspect no real movement until the summer so i think everyone will be watching what happens. as you will be and! watching what happens. as you will be and i appreciate you do not have a crystal ball but what do you think realistically the prospect of a deal are? i think it is important to remember what both sides have said and at the beginning of the year they said that as a what to do and very little time but there is commitment to put it best foot forward and the uk government has said that as well so there are some things as you edge closer to that cliff edge that concentrates minds and the space for compromise becomes more but from the perspective of the eu they want to get a shorter sense of how far the uk is willing to go across different policy areas before really identifying how far to compromise. we have had four rounds of talks, i think the areas of compromise and becoming more apparent even if we are not in that negotiating room. we may know a little more because we know the chief negotiator michel barnier is due to make a statement in brussels shortly but for no thank you. dentists across england will be allowed to start seeing patients again from monday, but the british dental association says that shortage of protective equipment means many of them will remain closed. english health officials insist they re continuining to work with dentists on safety. dan johnson reports. phone rings. answering machine message: the surgery is now closed. empty surgeries and patients left in pain. normal surgery will not be resuming at this time. dentistry felt the lockdown more than most. despite the government s announcement. and now, there is a real struggle to reopen on monday. unfortunately there will not be any patients here. we are hoping that a week s time we might be able to start seeing some of our own emergencies and do some very basic treatment. normal dental treatment is not going to be happening for an awfully long time. this waiting room is going to be empty for months. and even then, ensuring the virus does not spread will have a huge impact. i would normally see between 50 60 patients on an average day. and what about now? now, um, when we start treating people and doing proper treatment with the drill, i think the most i will be able to see is five. only one patient will be in the surgery at a time, protective equipment will be repeatedly changed and there will be much more cleaning. so i reckon we re looking at 1.5 hours between each patient. we have literally just been given the guidance. it s given us less than one working day to get things in place. we have had to do all of this on our own, we ve had no help, no guidance. we re not expecting to see routine care patients for 2 3 months. we will be open on monday but it will only be for urgent cases. across england so many dentists say they just are not ready. we don t have key worker status. childcare is a massive problem. the biggest challenge has been sourcing correct personal protective equipment, ppe. patients will not be able to get through on the telephone because we re expecting to be very busy so, if that is the case, then just be patient. it is not a case ofjust getting a mask or opening the doors. we have to get policies in place. patients are ringing us up, they want to come in, we want to see our patients. i get to be a dentist today. so they have been left to treat themselves with only limited emergency care available. ahh. this was linda s attempt to do her own filling. ahh, it came out. so much need, so little capacity. we are going to come back to a very big mess. it is disappointing as a professional that those who are in charge of us give us so limited time. and a message, knowing that a message has gone out to the public which is really misleading. i have had patients shouting at me on the telephone, because they want to get their treatment finished. i wanted to leave dentistry, ijust thought, why am i bothering? what about the cost of all this? spiralling. ppe generally is up 1,000%. this treatment room is now an equipment store and fresh challenges keep coming. we have obviously got to prioritise people in pain but there are people out there who have paid for treatment, who are mid treatment, who need stuff doing, who will not get seen for months and months. and it is not that i don t want to, it s just that i want to see them in a safe manner. dentistry is nowhere near being back to normal and it is possible it never will be. dan johnson, bbc news. let s get some of the day s other news the us has imposed trade restrictions on dozens of chinese technology firms and institutions. washington has accused nine of them of being complicit in what it describes as china s campaign of repression, mass arbitrary detention, forced labour and high tech surveillance against uighur and other muslims. in peru more than 5000 people have died from the coronavirus, making the country the second hardest hit in south america. there is a serious shortage of oxygen to treat patients, with relatives trying to source supplies. the government has declared the gas a strategic resource to be used in health care before industry. take a look at these pictures from norway. it s 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. hello. it was a fairly cool start to the day. we ve already had some heavy showers around. expect those showers to last over the next few days. so, a cooler, showery theme to the weather. also notice the winds are going to be strengthening, too. throughout today, and more especially into tomorrow, with low pressure driving our weather, sitting up towards the east here. lots of isobars on the map and plenty of showers rotating around that area of low pressure. so, sunny spells and scattered showers for most of us today. more persistent rain into the north of scotland later on. some of the showers, particularly parts of eastern england, could be heavy with hail and thunderstorms as well. fewer showers reaching the far south of england. not immune to the odd shower here, but a little bit drier. gusty winds, 35 or 45 mph, perhaps to parts of the irish sea, up to the north west of scotland, some of those costs could reach 50 or 60 mph at times. so, blustery winds, combined with heavy showers and more persistent rain pushing in across the north of scotland. temperatures out there today, somewhere between nine or 17 degrees, a lot cooler than it has been over the last couple of weeks. a little below par for the time of year. the heaviest of the showers and thunderstorms should fade away for a time overnight, but then we see the next area of rain working out of scotland, through northern ireland, northern england and north wales, too. clearer spells either side of that. quite a chilly night, with temperatures quite widely down into mid to single figures. saturday starts with low pressure very much in charge. you can see the real squeeze in those isobars, especially across northern and western parts of the uk. that s where you see some of the strongest winds. do be aware that, through today and into tomorrow, especially across the northern half of the uk, we could see gusts of wind up to 60 mph, enough to cause some disruption, particularly trees in full leaf. saturday, a few spells of sunshine through the morning. heavy showers pushing their way south through the day. again, some hail and thunder possible, particularly across parts of eastern england. temperatures 11 to 18 degrees on saturday. not too bad when you do see the sunshine coming through. slightly lighter wind by the time we get a sunday. still some showers around, most likely around the east coast. fewer showers further west and still quite chilly for the time of year. in the east, temperatures only ten or 13 degrees, towards the south west we could see 19 celsius or so. as we head through next week, a few showers around. but generally a bit drier and lighter winds, too. bye for now.
this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. the uk s government defends the decision to make face coverings compulsory on public transport, but admits the benefits may be marginal. on balance we are convinced that it certainly can t do any harm, we think it will do some good, and that s why it s a good idea to introduce. my concern and i d go so far as to say my anger is the delay it s taken, because this could mean more people having caught the virus in the community because there are some times where you simply can t keep a social distance, and this delay, i think, a grim milestone brazil overtakes italy to become the country third worst hit by coronavirus, with one brazilian dying every minute with covid 19. two police officers are suspended in buffalo, new york state after videos show they were seen pushing an elderly white man to the ground. the bbc announces that one of its senior executives, tim davie, will replace tony hall as director general. he ll take up the position in september. madeleine mccann s parents say they re encouraged by the response to the latest appeal for information about the disappearance of their daughter. hello and welcome if you re watching in the uk or around the world and stay with us for the latest news and analysis from here and across the globe. the uk government has defended the timing of its decision to make face masks compulsory on public transport in england. from june the 15th, passengers travelling without a face covering could be fined. the british medical association says the rule should be extended to anywhere that cannot ensure safe social distancing. elsewhere in england, new figures out this morning give a clearer indication of the rate at which coronavirus cases are declining. the office for national statistics suggests the number of new daily cases in households in england has fallen to 5,600 a day. around the world, brazil has surpassed italy to become the country with the third highest number of coronavirus deaths, after the united states and the uk. meanwhile in france, the government s top scientific advisor has said the epidemic there is now under control. and in scotland, it s emerged that a coronavirus epidemic simulated by public health experts two years ago highlighted potential problems such as a lack of protective equipment. we start with this report from keith doyle. 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. the scientists have been very clear that they are struggling. they ve been struggling to provide the conclusive evidence on it. on balance, we are convinced that it certainly can t do any harm, we think it will do some good, and that s why we think it s a good idea to introduce. but as i say, there s no point introducing it if. the most important thing is two metres social distancing, so if you ve got two metres social distancing, then this is a marginal impact. 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 isn t possible. 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 not being brought in right away, and that it should be widened to other areas where social distancing isn t always possible. nhs test and trace will contact you to trace people you might have infected. apologies that report. we will take you straight to brussels now, where the eu s chief brexit negotiator michelle barnier is giving us a news conference. we must all be vigilant and stay careful, but i am delighted to be with you again virtually or otherwise. mr barnier also thanks the interpreters for making this communication possible. you are welcome. he also says we help people understand each other. well, we hope so. from the start of these negotiations, our objective was to make parallel progress on all the subjects of our future relationship. there are many such subjects, because we are truly ambitious when it comes to this future relationship, and as i have said in the last round, for that to be possible, we needed to get rid of four serious areas of blockage and, for fishing, four serious areas of blockage and, forfishing, competition four serious areas of blockage and, for fishing, competition and a so called level playing field. these are two elements that are absolutely essential and cannot be separated out from trade. as we work towards a new economic partnership with the uk. secondly, guarantees and fundamental rights. we need this to establish police and judicial cooperation on criminal matters that is close and tight. third point, governance over a partnership. future partnership. this week, along with the uk delegation and david frost, we agreed that we have set a lot of time in our negotiating period for those four areas, and i would like to thank david and the two teams for the climate of mutual respect and the climate of mutual respect and the effort in the negotiations. both sides showed great respect for each other. they did very good work in these difficult circumstances, and i d like to pay tribute to the professionalism concerned. the professionals who were concerned. however, this week, i still have my responsibility under the aegis of our president ursula von der leyen. iam the our president ursula von der leyen. i am the eu negotiator, and my responsibility is to speak the truth, and to tell the truth, this week, there have been no significant areas of progress. starting with fishing. on fisheries, the uk have not shown any true will to explore other approaches the aunt zonal attachment for the sharing of quotas. any other approach is beyond zonal attachment. they continue to attach approaching to waters to an annual agreement, which is not even technical possible for us. the eu wants to create i would construct us. the eu wants to create i would co nstru ct a us. the eu wants to create i would construct a stable economic partnership. that has only been our desire. next point: playing field. economic fair play, trade fair play. no progress there either, despite the fact as i said this week we tried to focus on certain topics in particular, on subjects in particular, on subjects in particular that we thought were closer to reaching an agreement, such as things like the nonaggression measures when it came to social, environmental, climate related, tax and fiscal matters, and sustainable development. so no progress there. and then on governance, we are still a long way away from the framework we wanted, establishing legal links between our different areas of cooperation or a crosscutting government framework. finally, and law enforcement, judicial and police cooperation, we we re judicial and police cooperation, we were able to have a more constructive discussion on the issues of commitments arising from the european convention on human rights, but there are still important questions open as to how all of that would be reflected in the agreement itself. so, ladies and gentlemen, on these points as on others, all we ask for is for the political declaration to be respected and complied with. there has been no significant progress on these points, as i have said, not since the start of the negotiations, andi since the start of the negotiations, and i don t think we can go on like this forever. on top of that, the uk, as you know, have refused to extend the transition period, in other words, to allow for more time for negotiations. from our side, as indeed was already pointed out by president ursula von der leyen several months ago, we have always been open on our side, open to extending this period by one or two yea rs. extending this period by one or two years. it is possible and written into the agreement. our door is still open to that end. however, if there is nojoint decision still open to that end. however, if there is no joint decision towards such an extension, as we understand to be the case now, if there is no change, the uk will leave the single market and customs union and december and 31st. that is less than seven months from now. if we take into account what we have to have in terms of time to ratify an agreement, we have to have a legal text at the latest on october 31. and that leaves us about five months, give or take. and that leaves us about five months, give ortake. a and that leaves us about five months, give or take. a wee bit less, in fact. we have to use this time as efficiently as possible. indeed, last week, i had already proposed to david frost that we should accompany the next round of negotiations on all subjects through, as of the start ofjune, which will be the next round. end ofjune, which will be the next round, end ofjune, mark concentrated, focused work on the more difficult points. more concentrated, focused work. i hope this will give a new boost to the new 11 negotiation tables as such, and by the way, i also hope they will be able to start meeting face to face again by the end of june, when the next timeline is supposed to be. i think it will work better and be more effective, and easier. we still have roughly five months, and i will continue to obviously work with my team and keeping full transparency with the 27 member states and european parliament as well. to be clear, our lack of progress in this negotiation is not due to our method, but to the substance. we must stick to our commitments if we wa nt to must stick to our commitments if we want to move forward. we engaged in this negotiation on the basis of a joint political declaration that clearly sets out the terms of our future partnership. this document. this document, is available in all languages, including english. it is not difficult to read. good weekend reading, if! not difficult to read. good weekend reading, if i may say. a declaration was negotiated with prime minister johnson himself. it was approved by the leaders of the 27 member states at the european council in october 2019. it has the backing of the european parliament also. it is for us, and it will remain for us, the only valid reference, the only releva nt only valid reference, the only relevant precedent in this negotiation, that it was agreed by both sides. yet to after round, our british counterparts seek to distance themselves from this common basis. let me give you for concrete example, referring precisely to the text of the political declaration: first, prime ministerjohnson agreed in paragraph 77 that, i quote, given our geographical proximity and economic interdependence, ourfuture agreement must encompass robust commitments to prevent distortions of trade and unfair competitive advantages. this is what together we chose to call the level playing field. in this paragraph, the prime minister borisjohnson agreed to uphold the common high standards applicable in the union and the uk. at the end of the transition period in these areas, stated competition, environmental standards, employment, climate change and relevant tax matters. we are today very far from this objective. prime minister johnson agreed in paragraph 66 on civil nuclear cooperation 2019, our existing high standards of nuclear safety. we a re existing high standards of nuclear safety. we are very far from this objective. three, prime minister borisjohnson agreed in paragraph 82 that our agreement should cover anti money laundering and counterterrorism financing. we are very farfrom this counterterrorism financing. we are very far from this objective. four. borisjohnson agreed in paragraph 118 to base our future relationship on an overarching institutional framework which links between specific areas of cooperation. and we are once again very far from this objective. in all areas, the uk continues to backtrack on the commitments it has undertaken in the political declaration. including on fisheries, where we committed to use our best endeavours to conclude and ratify the new agreement byjuly one, 2020. it seems clear that we will not reach the target, considering our negotiations in this area are going for the moment considering how our negotiations are going at the moment. indeed, even in the rare areas where we saw some movement this week, such as the european convention on human rights, we still fall short of what we had agreed in the political declaration. and finally, as a reminder, the uk since the beginning does not want to talk about our cooperation on foreign policy, development and defence at all, even though we agreed this with borisjohnson in the political declaration. and to tell the truth on this point, defence policy, also as a former foreign affairs ministry my own country, i still understand why. we cannot and we will not accept this backtracking on the political declaration. and at the same time, we will request a full respect of the withdrawal agreement. on citizens rights, we continue to be extremely vigilant. there have been frequent exchanges of information between the vice president and the minister michael gove on this topic, regarding eu citizens residing in the uk. we are pleased to hear that 3.1 million eu citizens have already been granted residence status, and we are carefully monitoring the situation of more vulnerable citizens that have difficulties applying digitally. it is also important that eu citizens residing in the uk have access to social benefits in these difficult times. as for uk nationals residing in the union, in the 13 member states that, like the uk, have chosen constitutive system, we are working to ensure that procedures for applying for resident status are simple, easily accessible, and clearly communicated. in the other 14 member states, which have chosen a declaratory system, uk nationals will receive a physical document enabling them to prove their status. we also continue to be extremely vigilant with regard to the correct implementation of the protocol on ireland and northern ireland. the uk common paper published on may the 20th is useful. but there are still a lot of details to be centred if we wa nt to a lot of details to be centred if we want to move from aspiration to operation. in line with the legal treaty. furthermore, some of the objectives set out in this common paper, such as avoiding exit declarations and goods moving from northern ireland to great britain, are incompatible with the legal commitments accepted by the uk in the protocol. so we really need to work more on the technical details. only a precise and rigorous implementation of the agreement can create the confidence we need to build our future create the confidence we need to build ourfuture partnership. the 27 member states and the european parliament have been very clear about this, including in our negotiating mandate. translation: so, ladies and gentlemen, in the coming days, i will have an opportunity, the commission will be able to take stock with the member states, michel, and the european coordinating group. during the month ofjune, we will have a second meeting of thejoint ofjune, we will have a second meeting of the joint committee on the withdrawal agreement and its implementation, which will take place on june the 12th, implementation, which will take place onjune the 12th, and then we will have a high level meeting which we agreed to in the political declaration, mentioned several times, and this high level meeting will take stock of the status of negotiations. we will also need to set the precise date and practical modalities as we will have to do too for the dates and the modalities of the next round, probably, as of the end ofjune or beginning ofjuly. so as you can see in a short time frame, we are moving towards a moment of truth. we expect the united kingdom to respect its commitments under the already ratified withdrawal agreement and to respect the precise details of this political declaration, which will remaina political declaration, which will remain a basis of our negotiations. if that is indeed the case, and if we can ensure and maintain the mutual respect we have shown till now, if we can remain serene in our approach, and we always have been serene and patient on the eu side, adopting a calm but vigilant and determined approach, and we intend to remain like that. if we can maintain this approach, i believe that in the course of the summer, or the very beginning of the autumn, we will be able to find some common ground between the eu when the uk and we will be able to find an agreement for our future. we will take questions. nick, you have the floor. nick, press speak. that is what i am trying to do. i am trying to find the camera. thank you very much. hello, mr barnier. can you hear me? brilliant. iactually had a question about something you did not mention in your remarks, mr barnier, which is a state aid. this came up in david frost s letter to you quite prominently, and it is quite clear it is quite a big blockage in the level playing field side of the talks, and the uk is simply not going to accept the eu s state aid demands as they are. david frost called them egregious. in your reply to him, you listed state aid and did not save the uk would be bound by eu law after the end of the transition. but your own mandate and says that the envisaged partnership with the uk should mandate state aid rules. this is an area you are prepared to compromise on, can you do so without the state aid changing your mind a? changing your mandate. translation: i don t need to be reminded of my mandate. i know it well, and i don t need to be asked to remember what is in the political declaration on the subject. it was just mentioned, and state aid more specifically, in the agreement, in the declaration. it is a point clearly mentioned. i think it is the very first in that particular list, where it says that it is an area where, with the uk, we need to find a way to avoid an unfair competitive advantage. that is what it says in english. in all areas, advantage. that is what it says in english. in allareas, and in advantage. that is what it says in english. in all areas, and in this one in particular, that is my mandate. the aim of this is to find good mechanisms, robust commitments to go into the english text again to avoid such distortions of competition and to keep the rules of the game that are fair and competition rules that are fair, so ican competition rules that are fair, so i can confirm that it is a very difficult point, and indeed, we have a very firm position here. in terms of the spirit of the political declaration and this, well, this needs to be taken forward. in this round, as i said before, we try to go on round, as i said before, we try to goona round, as i said before, we try to go on a focus for other things like the non regression clauses, and i explain why. i said we were disappointed we had not made progress on it either, but this topic of state aid is still very much an issue at the top of the level playing field discussion, but we did discuss at this time. but clearly, we need those robust rules. a tool box that works. we will say goodbye now to our viewers on bbc world. in line with the sovereign rules of both sides when it comes to our respective legal orders. our respective legal orders. our respective sovereignties must be respected. the uk s obviously, which is why brexit must be there. it also hours, and the uk must accept ours. and we have to find some sort of equivalence on each side when it comes to level and type of regulation. is there a real risk of dumping? this is one area where there are real risks, but there are others as well wear the same sort of exercise needs to be found. it is not just ideology exercise needs to be found. it is notjust ideology or technocratic dogma. this level playing field, this fair play, economic and trade related fair play notion, actually cove rs related fair play notion, actually covers hundreds of thousands ofjobs that are at stake, and that s why eu member states are very firm on these matters. i will not go into the detail of discussions. i will not speculate where we will end up, but if this point i m trying to make can be properly understood and if boris johnson s commitment as he wrote them into ourjoint aid are respected, we will be able to agree on those robust rules the referred to. to bruno waterfield. you need to activate your might, bruno. your microphone. just press speak once more. where we will end up, but. yes, we can hear you now. thank you very much. sorry about that. mr barnier, ido want much. sorry about that. mr barnier, i do want to press you on something. your mandate says on state aid that state aid, eu law, union law and state aid, eu law, union law and state aid, eu law, union law and state aid must be applied within the uk. the law, eu law, must be applied. that seems to go beyond a robust mechanism and the political declaration. in your letter that you wrote in reply to david frost, you said the uk would not be bound by union law on the level playing field for the free trade agreement. can you just clarify whether you are still supporting the idea in your mandate that of state aid, union law must apply? thank you. translation: yes. you don t need to feel worried about putting pressure on me. don t be surprised if i am not unduly impressed at the question. or concern that the question. or concern that the question. i know my mandate, my terms of reference, which is subject to interpretation on the british side about respect for british sovereignty, as is my role in terms of trying to achieve common progress. i have taken account of that british concern, and i would suggest about their 70, i would suggest about their 70, i would suggest to the british side they need to take due concern about our sovereignty, which is non negotiable in all aspects of the internal market. so i have certainly taken account of this british concern, which i can understand in political terms, and it is in this spirit and in compliance with my mandate that i wrote this letter. so i think unless basis and in the spirit of the u mentioned. well, we are going to leave that news co nfe re nce well, we are going to leave that news conference in brussels now. what is the headline? i guess it is the fact that the two sides are still a long way off coming to an eu chief negotiator michel barnier saying there has been no significant area of progress after the end of the fourth round of talks on a post brexit trade deal. we have had a response from the uk s chief brexit negotiator david frost. he has said that progress in the talks with the eu was limited, echoing what michel barnier said there. but david frost said that the tone of those talks had been positive. he said that if further progress was to be made, the two sides needed to intensify and accelerate their work rate. let s cross now to the scottish gvernment‘s daily briefing, which is being led by the first minister, nicola sturgeon. iamjoined i am joined today by the chief co nsta ble of i am joined today by the chief constable of police scotland and bite professorjason leech are national clinical director. i will start by obligating some of the key statistics in relation to covid 19. at 9am that have been 15,582 positive cases, an increase of 29 from yesterday, a total of they hundred 95 patients are in hospital with confirmed or suspected covid 19, that represents a decrease of 26 from yesterday including a decrease of nine and the number of confirmed cases. we have to be careful reading too much into single day figures but nevertheless it is reasonable to point out this is the first time since the 30th of march that the number of patients in hospital has been a law than 1000 againa hospital has been a law than 1000 again a positive indication of the progress we are making. a total of 23 people last eight but an intensive care with confirmed or suspected covid 19 which is a decrease of 5 cents yesterday five since yesterday. a total of 3378 patients had been able to leave hospital. in the last 24 there was a 14 deaths have been registered of patients confirmed as having covid 19 which take to total number of deaths in scotland under that measurement to 2409. these numbers are not just measurement to 2409. these numbers are notjust statistics, they are individuals was lost as deeply felt by their loved ones so i want to send my deepest condolences to eve ryo ne send my deepest condolences to everyone who has lost a loved one to this virus. i also want to express my thanks as always to health and ca re my thanks as always to health and care workers, my thanks as always to health and ca re workers, your my thanks as always to health and care workers, your efforts are enormously appreciated and notjust by me and the government, by eve ryo ne by me and the government, by everyone in scotland. there are many other front line and key workers throughout helping the country throughout helping the country through this crisis and with the chief constable here today i want to ta ke chief constable here today i want to take the opportunity to say a special thank you again to police officers and staff who are working under real pressure at the moment but are doing an exceptionaljob for all of us. there are two items i wa nt to all of us. there are two items i want to come, the first concerns the economic impact of covid 19. i have just come earlierfrom economic impact of covid 19. i have just come earlier from the cabinet subcommittee on the economy where we noted the latest monthly report from a chief economist. that document which was published this morning provides a summary of scotland s key economic statistics. amongst other things it shows that in the first half of may almost one fifth of businesses and scuff are temporarily closed and that contributed to more than 750,000 people being followed on unable to work as normal. the report shows tolerable is down in almost every sector of the economy and it contains new modelling which takes account of the different phases for easing lockdown. on that basis the report forecast in more gradual economic recovery which may not see it return to precrisis levels fully number of years. the publication confirms the scale of the economic crisis we face and in doing that further underlines why government action is so important and vital continue to be sought. the scottish government has allocated £2.3 billion to help businesses and protect jobs and billion to help businesses and protectjobs and that is before me consider uk wide measures such as thejob retention consider uk wide measures such as the job retention scheme. consider uk wide measures such as thejob retention scheme. that support is helping to mitigate some of the economic impact and will continue to be vital as businesses seek to rebuild. i want to again given an assurance that the scottish government is determined to do everything we can to support that process of rebuilding and recovery. we will continue to do everything possible to protect your livelihood, thatis possible to protect your livelihood, that is important in the short term but also vital to help lay the groundwork for a sustainable economic recovery. that recovery will be helped by continued progress against this virus will stop if we have a setback in tackling the virus that will make the reopening of our economy all the more difficult for the second item i want to cover todayis the second item i want to cover today is anything elated to the first and it concerns becomes lockdown restrictions and particularly how i hope people will comply with them over this weekend and beyond. we had at the close of the first full week since we moved into phase one of our route map out of lockdown and eased some of the distractions. so far the vast majority of people have stuck by the new rules and a want to take the opportunity again to thank all of you who have continued to do the right thing. it is also clear that over the past week not absolutely eve ryo ne over the past week not absolutely everyone has done that. the chief co nsta ble everyone has done that. the chief constable may say more little about compliance and how the distractions will be enforced at necessary but i wa nt to will be enforced at necessary but i want to set out very clearly again today what the current rules are and today what the current rules are and to do that it wants to focus on what we are asking everyone not to do because it is that is by not doing the things we know aloes dividers to spread that will keep under control. to start you must not people from other households indoors. i know that may be a particular tip titian ona that may be a particular tip titian on a weekend when we are expecting poor weather a particular temptation. but i typically that is extremely high risk and we know this virus transmits much more easily between people inside than outside. if you are not willing to meet outdoors in all likelihood the rain then please do not meet up with people from other households at all andi people from other households at all and i cannot emphasise that strongly enough. i am and i cannot emphasise that strongly enough. iam not and i cannot emphasise that strongly enough. i am not exaggerating when i see that if you do with people from other households indoors you are putting yourself and you are putting them at risk of getting the virus and becoming ill without and potentially dying from it. i would ask you not pleased to take that risk. healthy desk of meeting outdoors as a law it is not absolutely zero that means if you do meet outdoors you must again within two metres are members of another household. you should certainly not be shaking their hands are hugging them difficult though that is and should not shout food utensils with people from other households or touch house officers they may also have touched because these are ways in which we know the virus spreads relatively easily. we are asking that when two households do meet up there should be no more than eight in total and there should be no more than eight in totaland a there should be no more than eight in total and a group. in addition you should not more than five miles for recreation and should not leave your face uncovered a few are in an enclosed space like a shop and public transport. winning a face covering helps you protect others and having others wear a face covering means they protect you. i wa nt to covering means they protect you. i want to make the general point that you should still be seen far fewer people than normal and still trying to stay at home as much as possible. basically if you start to feel your social life is returning to normal thatis social life is returning to normal that is not a good sign now. that message applies to everyone but it is perhaps particularly relevant to young people so i want today to make a special plea to all of you young people of scotland. many of you will be desperate to spend more time with pals after weeks of being a part and made even think that as young people you are made even think that as young people you a re less made even think that as young people you are less liquid to become seriously slow as a result of the virus and i know this from speaking to young people in my own life. but i want to be very clear, you are not immune from this virus, you can get it and it can be very harmful to you but even if you are not seriously affected you can still pass it on to other young people, they make then passed on to others radically to risk from covid 19 such as pins are grandparents and that could have tragic consequences so i would urge you to please not think about your own risk, think about the risk to your parents and grandparents and two friends p and are grandparents. do not take risks you could end up regretting and possibly grieving in the weeks ahead, please stick to the rules. also a brief word and a heartfelt wa nt rules. also a brief word and a heartfelt want to those who i know what to make their voices heard at this weekend and support of black lives matter and i want to aj you to make your voices heard, we all feel very strongly about this but i want to ask you to do so safely. and none more times i may well have been planning tojoin more times i may well have been planning to join a gathering more times i may well have been planning tojoin a gathering of support this weekend by coming together and mass gatherings are simply not safe, it poses a real risk to health and life so i would encourage you to read the statement issued yesterday asking people to protest in different ways. you can make your voice heard online, you can lobby elected representatives are make it to anti dissident campaigns but please try to stay within the rules antiracism campaigns and stay safe. if you are wondering whether it is ok to do something this weekend ask yourself if you are giving the virus and opportunity to spread and if you are in doubt about whether your plans are within the rules are not please are within the rules are not please are on the side of caution. above all else please remember that every single decision we take as individuals will help affect the safety a nd individuals will help affect the safety and well being of everyone. the progress we have made against this virus is real and i see that every day because i mean it and it is asa every day because i mean it and it is as a result of all of us of a lemming like sticking to these rules and that kind of collective effort will continue to be vital. i m confident you will continue to play your part i do want to thank all of your part i do want to thank all of you in advance for showing that solidarity with each other and doing that. i will hand over to the chief co nsta ble. that. i will hand over to the chief constable. good afternoon and as we enter earlyjune constable. good afternoon and as we enterearlyjune and constable. good afternoon and as we enter early june and the constable. good afternoon and as we enter earlyjune and the summer months i would like to start on a point stressed on a number of occasions which is underlining close bond between policing and the committees of scotland. trust has been forced many years and the police in scotland to take their authority and legitimacy from the people. it is testimony to the good judgment of the people of scotland and our police service during this national public health emergency they delicious up and anything has gone from strength to strength. the relationship at anything. the bible the bond will be tested during these difficult times and i know the role of the police policing at times exercises in the name of fellow citizens to protect us all will be subject to the best scrutiny and challenge and i welcome an open and direct and transparent conversation about policing, it is vital for democracy and fairness. like everyone i as chief constable and as a man was shocked and distressed by the death of george floyd in minneapolis and subsequent events that have transpired and continue to transpire and the us. racism in all its forms is utterly disgraceful and unacceptable. as with the first ministerl unacceptable. as with the first minister i also fully understand the desire of people in scotland to make their voices heard this weekend over racial injustice, the right to be held and protest and campaign is of vital importance and policing has a key role and enabling supporting such freedoms to be exercised fully and safely. i will duty and policing is to enable you to have your voice heard ina is to enable you to have your voice heard in a way that is safe for you and others. so please do this anyway thatis and others. so please do this anyway that is not risk spreading coronavirus. policing in scotland will help this regard. i know again as the first minister has alluded there are a number of planned events this weekend and we are in touch with some of the people involved in organising them to try to help them do that and a safe manner. ilg everyone to follow the regulations and guidance as the majority of people have thankfully done. to keep themselves and others are safe and prevent the spread of coronavirus. i would also detonate the comments of the cabinet secretary forjustice, because the threat of can advise a still with us people should not attend mass gatherings which posit clear risk to public health. please find a safe way to have your voice heard. i know the fatigue and strain many are feeling as the stay at home period continues, albeit with some restrictions are lifted as one that is felt amongst households and families across scotland. again as the first mass that has made the repeatedly the desire for easement to allow greater freedom as understandable. the small changes made last week following ten weeks of strict rules because sailing with particularly good weather and and my judgment left some people acting demob happy. gatherings and parks and beauty spots were concerning and policing made over 2000 separate dismissals over the weekend. at the same time we saw none coronavirus related crime returning to levels which are more in line with topical business as usual and in fact made over 1000 addressed last weekend, none of them and regard to breach of the coronavirus regulations. collectively that puts an acute demand on policing but i pay tribute to everyone working together to save lives. the majority of people continue to do the right thing because they know that as the best way to protect themselves and to stop the virus spreading and to reduce the chance of people dying. this weekend i do not think the way thatis this weekend i do not think the way that is to be quite as good but i would ask fundamentally that people do not travel to busy places and crucially emphasising the point the first minister has been very strongly today do not hold house parties or gatherings outdoors. the police service will take very robust action and that regard because we know that is particularly dangerous in regards to the spread of the virus. do not have house parties effort the rain comes on, do not get your friends round, it is not the time to do that, it is less than that putting lives at risk. i want to thank officers and staff for their commitment to public service, people giving freely of their own time, they have been working around the clock or officers and staff and special constables included within the police service of scotland to give help and advice and support communities the blade of scotland. it is essential that everyone sticks with it, essential they stick to the rules and do the right thing. fa do not then what of what is guidance may be brought into legislation and if that is the case police covered continue to act and a fair and proportionate manner. our approach will not change, we will always work with the people to do the right thing because we rely on consent and cooperation and we were like with courtesy but people take enforcement measures when necessary. | courtesy but people take enforcement measures when necessary. i greatly value the trust of a fellow citizens andl value the trust of a fellow citizens and i thank you for your four bins during these difficult days. for your forbearance. please look after yourselves and follow the rules.” wa nt yourselves and follow the rules.” want to reinforce briefly are some of the key messages you have heard from both the first minister and chief constable. amongst this complexity and response to the virus the virus itself is relatively simple. the enemy we face is unseen, it is everywhere, it is potentially anywhere. it is all around us each and every day, spread from one human to another and person to person. you get this virus from other people. the more people you come into contact with, the more likely you out to catch and spread the virus. we want to get back to a normal life as soon as possible but the only way we can do that is by sticking to the today. then we can progressively move out of lockdown. meeting up with other people has been the biggest change for a lot of us over the last week and i want to take this opportunity to domain you again, all three of us have done this that her reported it as that you only meet up outdoors and in small groups. eight is the largest group we want but we would like you to meet and smother groups because outdoors that is a sick of the lower risk of catching the virus, fresh and fewer surfaces to touch and it is much easier to stay physically distant from those around you. so now we have another weekend coming up, the weather is not going to be so good but please do not be tempted to go indoors and you might take an umbrella and a fleece with you to meet up outdoors but it will save you from the virus. remember the five things that have not changed at all throughout any of this renewal and recovery work, remember to wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds. use hand sanitiser if you cannot. keep two metres apart from people outside your household and we are a cloth face covering a few place like public transport or a shop. avoid touching your face,, your mouth and nose if you sneeze or cough, this discount a handkerchief if you sneeze into it and clean all surfaces you touch regularly. doing all of those things but particularly the physical distancing. the spread of this virus and the doubles were continue to fall and we will be able to move through. important and very sound advice. i will move straight to questions, the first one from bbc scotland. i think you are expected to hear more about the regulations, the 40 day quarantine which i understan has been dyed until monday. there is a lot of concern from the airline and to that as an industry that this is an ill conceived policy, iwould industry that this is an ill conceived policy, i would ask you would react to that and also to the chief constable with the regulations being later and concerns. . . regulations being later and concerns. we are going to leave that use conference in scotland well nicola sturgeon has been outlining specifically what you should not be doing and she said it is not a good sign if you feel your social life is returning to normal. in the past have about the first minister of wales in the past half an hour, the first minister of wales has of wales in the past half an hour, the first minister of wales has announced an extension to the £500 bonus scheme for care home workers. the scheme will now include kitchen and other staff along with agency workers. over a month ago i announced to be with you making a special one off payment of £500 to all social care workers and recognition of the vital contribution they have made in helping wheels during this pandemic. this is a complex sector with hundreds of employers and both the private, public and independent spheres. we have had detailed discussions with the trades unions, employers and local authorities over the last few weeks to finalise the details of this payment so we can get the money to those who have made that vital contribution. we have also been discussing with the uk government tax and national insurance implications because we wa nted insurance implications because we wanted to make sure that every penny reaches the of our dedicated social ca re reaches the of our dedicated social care workforce. on the first point i am pleased to see that we have finalised this phase of the work so that we can begin to start making these £500 payments this month. the will be made to all social care staff giving direct personal care, in care homes and an homes themselves by domiciled it care workers and that will include personal assistance as well, employed by people under the direct payment scheme. we know that inside ca re payment scheme. we know that inside care homes, what goes on as a large household where a range of staff members developed close and valued relationships with residents and contribute to their care and well being. during this pandemic many kitchen and domestic staff have taken on a wider caring role to ensure continue to care at the time they have spent with residents is vital as visiting with families has been restricted. i am pleased to say that n recognition of the extender role they have played and all the detailed work which has gone on one of the past few weeks we are now able to extend this payment to those ancillary staff working in care homes. to confirm that nursing staff employed by care homes will also be eligible for this grant. that was the first minister of wales announcing the extension of the bonus scheme which has been given it to people and working in a care homes. before i had over two jane for the news at one i want you to look at these pictures coming to us from norway. this is 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 and is said to be ok. now it s time for a look at the weather with sarah keith lucas. hello. it was a fairly cool start to the day. we ve already had some heavy showers around. expect those showers to last over the next few days. so, a cooler, showery theme to the weather. also notice the winds are going to be strengthening, too. throughout today, and more especially into tomorrow, with low pressure driving our weather, sitting up towards the east here. lots of isobars on the map and plenty of showers rotating around that area of low pressure. so, sunny spells and scattered showers for most of us today. more persistent rain into the north of scotland later on. some of the showers, particularly parts of eastern england, could be heavy with hail and thunderstorms as well. fewer showers reaching the far south of england. not immune to the odd shower here, but a little bit drier. gusty winds, 35 or 45 mph, perhaps to parts of the irish sea, up to the north west of scotland, some of those costs could reach 50 or 60 mph at times. so, blustery winds, combined with heavy showers and more persistent rain pushing in across the north of scotland. temperatures out there today, somewhere between nine to 17 degrees, a lot cooler than it has been over the last couple of weeks. a little below par for the time of year. the heaviest of the showers and thunderstorms should fade away for a time overnight, but then we see the next area of rain working out of scotland, through northern ireland, northern england and north wales, too. clearer spells either side of that. quite a chilly night, with temperatures quite widely down into mid to single figures. saturday starts with low pressure very much in charge. you can see the real squeeze in those isobars, especially across northern and western parts of the uk. that s where you see some of the strongest winds. do be aware that, through today and into tomorrow, especially across the northern half of the uk, we could see gusts of wind up to 60 mph, enough to cause some disruption, particularly trees in full leaf. saturday, a few spells of sunshine through the morning. heavy showers pushing their way south through the day. again, some hail and thunder possible, particularly across parts of eastern england. temperatures 11 to 18 degrees on saturday. not too bad when you do see the sunshine coming through. slightly lighter wind by the time we get a sunday. still some showers around, most likely around the east coast. fewer showers further west and still quite chilly for the time of year. in the east, temperatures only ten or 13 degrees, towards the south west we could see 19 celsius or so. as we head through next week, a few showers around. but generally a bit drier and lighter winds, too. bye for now.
the number of people with coronavirus falls in the second half of may, to one in 1000. it comes as the government defends making face coverings compulsory on public transport in england, from next week. on balance, we are convinced it certainly cannot do any harm. we think it will do some good and that is why we think it is a good idea to introduce. my concern and anger is that elliott has taken because this could mean more people having caught the virus in the community because there are sometimes we simply cannot keep social distance. we ll get the latest on that and the fall in infection rates. also this lunchtime: as protests continue in the us, pictures emerge of a pensioner

had been living he s believed to have been in the area where the madeleine in the algarve at the time, was last seen, when she disappeared travelling around in a camper van. our home affairs correspondent in portugal 13 years ago. daniel sandford reports. this is the vw camper van let s go to braunschweig in germany, that was used by the new suspect in where the prosecutor is giving an update. the madeleine mccann investigation. with its distinctive colours, translation: i want to make a short police hope it will trigger statement about the current results. as yet unnamed suspect. i would like to ask for your understanding that, because of someone‘s memory and lead to new evidence about their current investigations, we are as yet unnamed suspect. unable to accept any questions, so i he used the vehicle to live in and, certainly, the week preceding, will not be able to give you answers he was in there living, so he would move around the area, to your questions. this isjust using that van as probably his base. going to be a bit of a monologue, so the suspect also used this jaguar car at the time. i have to ask for your understanding he registered the car into someone else‘s name the day in this case. if i may, then i would after madeleine mccann disappeared. like to start. in connection with the three year old went missing the disappearance of the on may the 3rd 2007. three year old british girl madeleine mccann on the 3rd of may she d been sleeping in her parents‘ holiday apartment 2007 from an apartment complex in praia da luz in portugal, the while they

on suspicion of murder. we police there revealed that the suspect has previous convictions for sexually assaulting girls and is thought to have burgled are assuming that the girl is dead. hotels and holiday apartments. with the suspect, we are talking he s currently in prison in germany. his phone was used in praia da luz about an hour before madeleine mccann disappeared. about a multiple sexual predator who the metropolitan police are now has already been convicted for asking for anyone who can help crimes against little girls, and he with information about the mobile number he took the call on that is already serving a long sentence. night, the vw camper van between 1995 and 2007 he has that he was using that summer regularly been living on the and the old jaguar xjr algarve, amongst others living in a 6 that he registered out of his name the day after madeleine mccann disappeared. in a statement, her parents, kate and gerry mccann, seen here in 2007, said house near praia da luz. we they would like to thank the police understood he did a couple of odd forces involved in britain, germany and portugal. jobs in the area. other points are they said they would never give up that the suspect financed his life hope of finding madeleine alive. the german police said that theirs is a murder investigation, but madeleine mccann‘s parents said, by committing crimes, including whatever the outcome is, they need to know what happened, thefts in hotel complexes and as they need to find peace. apartments, but also drug dealing. clarence mitchell is the spokesperson for the mccann family. the braunschweig prosecution is now he told the bbc that the family hasn t given up hope concerned because they suspect prior of finding madeleine alive. to going abroad, he last had his residence in braunschweig during the the family are very grateful, as they have been all the way investigation is being carried out through this, to the police forces involved, not least here, working together closely with the british police but, now, the germans and, indeed, the portuguese police. the british metropolitan police and they simply want to establish what happened to their daughter, the british metropolitan police and the police in portugal. we are now to find out the truth, and to bring whoever was responsible for her disappearance to justice. they have not given up hope of finding madeleine alive, despite the length of time, asking the public, appealing to the public to help, and calls for they ve never given up that hope, but they are realistic, witness being set out. i can only and they say that whatever appeal to everyone as far as you the outcome of this appeal possibly can to react to this appeal and the police work, they do need to know, because they need to find peace. and help us along with this. i am let s speak now to stefanie bolzen, uk correspondent for german asking for your understanding that newspaper die welt. because of the ongoing investigations, no further thank you very much forjoining us information, no details can be given today. what do we know from germany on the concrete matter, and no more itself about how this suspect has emerged at this time. well, this is can be said about current investigations of the situation. as very, very fresh news. so, last farasi investigations of the situation. as faras i am investigations of the situation. as far as i am concerned, this is all i night, in germany, there was a tv can tell you today and thank you for programme which i think you can your attention. i hope you get home safely. thank you. compare to crimewatch in britain, well, short statement there from the german public prosecutor, with an and in this programme, they talked update on the latest investigation again about the case of the disappearance of madeleine mccann into the disappearance of madeleine mccann. our home affairs correspondent and the prosecutors were quite daniel sandford is with me. specific in giving out telephone not a huge amount of new information numbers, putting out photos of the there, but what did you make of what camper van numbers, putting out photos of the campervan and of numbers, putting out photos of the he had to say? first of all, it s camper van and of the jaguar and appealing very specifically to quite striking how he started that, people to come forward and give information. reading the local the braunschweig prosecutor, by saying that we are assuming that the newspaper in the place where the girl is dead. the german police did suspect had been living until he was also say that last night and said that this was a murder living in portugal, that is why the investigation, but this is the man who was essentially in charge of authorities there are in charge, trying to bring their suspected they have described very much in justice, and he is working on the assumption that madeleine mccann was detail a court trial against this dead. he then gave some of the man back in december 2019, where he details that we already know about this man. the man is being named in was sentenced for the rape of an american woman and a lot of this has only come out because of people who germany as christian b, not his full have come forward and given information, so it seems like in the name, just the initial of his press c0 nfe re nce surname, and we believe that is an information, so it seems like in the press conference $0011, at information, so it seems like in the press conference soon, at 12 o clock british time, there might be more accurate description of the details coming out explaining what prosecution are talking about. he has happened to have this may be has a a3 year old man with multiple prime suspect now being named. there sex offence convictions, some of has always been a feeling, a them against children but also some against older people as well. some suspicion, hasn t there, that, apart of those took place in portugal. and from whoever it was that took essentially what has happened, we madeleine, there must be a small have got to the stage in this investigation where they are pretty sure that they have identified number of people with information as somebody who was heavily involved in well and, clearly, the german the disappearance of madeleine authorities are hoping that mccann, but they need some extra someone s memory will be jogged jigsaw, so again what you are seeing authorities are hoping that someone s memory will bejogged or, i think the phrase they used, is in the prosecutor there is asking people to come forward and give them that there allegiances will have changed over time and that is very those last pieces of the jigsaw to see if they can get to the point interesting, clearly they want to, where they can charge christian b with this new camper van, the car, with madeleine mccann s murder.- the phone number, they want to build you said, it was quite chilling on what seem like pretty tangible hearing the german public prosecutor there saying that he was assuming leads. we don t know, this has been she was dead. can you explain the case for so many years, there something to me. the german police have been so many investigations are treating this as a murder going on, so i understand everybody investigation, and yet there seems has to be very cautious on to bea conclusions but reading reports from investigation, and yet there seems to be a different approach from the metropolitan police. why is that? 2019 ina conclusions but reading reports from 2019 in a local newspaper, there are to be a different approach from the metropolitan police. why is that7m is about traditions and different reports on somebody who came forward sensitivities. i don t think many who had been doing a burglary of a people involved in the disappearance house and came across video footage of madeleine mccann have much hope of rape and that was in connection about finding her alive. it is with this person and in this hearing possible she could have been kidnapped and held somewhere for at the court, he said, well, you do many, kidnapped and held somewhere for any kidnapped and held somewhere for many, many years, but i think the british police, because they don t stupid things in your life but that have any proof that she is dead, was too much and therefore i have they are taking their approach that come forward. now, this is not isa they are taking their approach that is a missing persons enquiry. the related to the case of madeleine mccann, of course, but to another german prosecutors have a different case, but there is some indication approach, which is that the information that may have led them that there might be, and again, we to this man in the first place, and we are not quite sure what that is, have to be very cautious, there might bea but that seems to be information have to be very cautious, there might be a connection here. thank that links him to her death rather than just that links him to her death rather thanjust her that links him to her death rather you very much, stefanie bolzen, the than just her disappearance. and thatis than just her disappearance. and that is the key, isn t it? because uk correspondent for die welt and as over 13 years we have had so many you mention, that news conference in germany, happening at noon uk time. false alarms, false leads, for different suspects, and it does make president trump s former defence secretary james mattis has denounced the president you wonder why this person and why as divisive and expressed his this person now. i think in the support for the street protests shadows for quite some time there demanding racialjustice in america, has been the suggestion that the in the wake of the death of george floyd. person involved was german. that has it comes after further charges been around for a long time, and were announced against the police thatis officers who were present been around for a long time, and that is to do with stuff that has at mr floyd s arrest, shortly before he was pronounced dead. been seen in internet chat rooms and david willis reports. intelligence that was coming in, so the focus has been on germany for huge protests continue to grip quite a while. as this name came this country in response to george floyd s death. into the frame, first in 2013 and thousands converged on downtown then again in 2017, what has become key about this man, christian b, is los angeles, and after violence that his mobile phone was in the right town on the evening that here over the weekend, this time, their call madeleine mccann disappeared, and for change was peaceful. night time cu rfews also that his car, which was remain in place here, registered in his name, is where it as well as in new york and washington dc. is registered into somebody else s name the day after madeleine mccann in minneapolis, where all this disappeared. and those two things began, anger gave way to cheers obviously mean that he is of very, at the news that former police officer derek chauvin is to face very significant interest to these a more serious murder charge. let me hear y all investigations, and then when you say we got all four! put that against his background of we got all four! burgling hotels, burgling holiday apartments and of sexually and at the news that the three other assaulting women and young girls, officers involved in mr floyd s then you can see why he is somebody death have now been arrested. they stand accused of aiding that the police want to talk to as and abetting his murder. well as any further intelligence that they have against him that we president trump s often bellicose have not been told about. daniel response to the recent unrest here has unnerved even some sandford, thank you for that. as in his own party. daniel said, the focus is in and now his former defence secretary james mattis is voicing concern. germany,. let s speak now to julian in a withering critique reichelt, editor in chief of german newspaper bild. in the atlantic magazine, we are very grateful for your time, mr mattis accuses the president of an abuse of power and writes. thank you. what do we know from germany as to how this suspect has emerged at this time? well, we have heard a lot already there on your donald trump responded promptly. programme about how he has emerged in this crime. it was about that telephone number that was locked in close to where maddy disappeared on that day, but there is another i see limitless potential that aspect to this. he is in prison in deserves to flourish and thrive. you should be able to learn and make the city of kiel right now here in mistakes and live a life ofjoy. america s first black president struck a starkly different and more germany, and there is some optimistic tone to that information coming from the whole of president trump in a virtual town hall event. prison environment, some new as tragic as these past information emerged that pushed few weeks have been, as difficult and scary and uncertain investigators towards christian b, as they ve been, they ve also been because everything we have heard so far publicly has been around and an incredible opportunity basically known to police in germany for people to be awakened. and in britain for years, basically known to police in germany and in britain foryears, so basically known to police in germany and in britain for years, so what we right now, i think the nation are hearing from our sources is that needs law and order, there was an additional push towards because you have a bad group looking at christian b another time, of people out there and that is when the police put all and they are using george floyd and they are using a lot of other the pieces together again, and now people to try and do some bad things and what we do. we have it totally under control. george floyd s family and friends are due together in minneapolis opened as we just heard from the on thursday for a memorial service prosecutor in braunschweig, opened a murder investigation. and what is in his honour. your newspaper and indeed other the calls for a radical reform german newspapers, what are you of race relations in this reporting about this man? do you country are growing. have any more information about him? david willis, bbc news, los angeles. yes, we do. we just had a chance to and we will be talking more about look at his criminal record, his the political response to george file, through our sources, and it is floyd s death soon. shocking to see that file, it is the uk will host the global vaccine also shocking that from that file summit will get under way today, where more than 50 countries and from knowing that that person and donor organisations has lived in the area of question, that he wasn t on the radar before, will be urged to play their full part in what s being called the most essential shared endeavour of our lifetimes . the aim is to raise £6 billion because he has been convicted of to immunise hundreds of millions child abuse as early as 1994, as we of children against deadly diseases. the video conference is being hosted by borisjohnson, have read in his file. he was born who will call for a new era of global health co operation . the uk government will also in1976, he is hold a video conference have read in his file. he was born in 1976, he is a3 years old. that means that early in his life already with aviation industry officials, to discuss its coronavirus there was a record of child abuse, quarantine plan. and it wasn t the only time, there south america continues to be the current epicentre of the outbreak. are numerous other convictions, drug brazil suffered a record number of daily deaths with more than 1,300 people dying from the virus. convictions, driving under the and research in the uk found that influence, driving without a driver license, it is a huge numerous page more than half the population struggled with sleep during the lockdown. 40% of people also reported long criminal record that we have seen, but what is most striking is having more vivid dreams. that there is a clear history of joining me now from westminster child abuse, and that combined with is our assistant political editor, norman smith. the burglaries you have mentioned on your programme, it seems indeed a bit odd that this person wasn t on hello, to you, norman. let s begin the radar in the past 13 years. with that global vaccine summit. clearly, there are concerns in many countries that there is going to be julian reichelt from bild, we must a scramble, you know, once a vaccine leave it there. a really good of you tojoin us, leave it there. a really good of you to join us, thanks. thank you very hopefully is found, a scramble to much. president trump s former appropriate that vaccine and that defence secretary james mattis has rebuked him over his threat to use not everybody might get access to it troops to quell the protests at the same time. so what is it that against racial injustice in america. the uk is going to do to try to his comments come after all bring about changes in that area?” four officers involved in the death of george floyd think first of all, they want to the event which started the protests were formally charged. coordinate a global response and build some impetus and get some cash derek chauvin, the officer behind the search for a vaccine, but who was filmed kneeling you are right, there is concerned on mr floyd s neck, has that if and when a vaccine is had his charge elevated from third to second degree murder. finally developed, it will be the wealthier of the world that have access to the vaccine and, in poorer under minnestota state law, first degree murder is defined as when the defendant has the intention to kill parts of the world, they won t. but and usually requires some the concern of scientists is that element of premeditation. only means the virus will continue, second degree murder, the charges being brought here, because unless you provide requires an intention to kill. safeguards to all countries, it or in this case intention to commit a serious crime simply, sooner or later, re emerges. which results in death. so it is an attempt, as it were, to focus minds in ensuring that there and third degree murder would not isa require proof that the defendant focus minds in ensuring that there is a global push to develop vaccine, wanted the victim to die, but also to make sure that, when it only that their actions is available, it is not confined to were dangerous and carried out the very wealthiest countries. lots without regard to human life. our north america correspondent of countries, of course, grappling david willis reports. as well with testing and the search for a vaccine with how they boost huge protests continue to grip this country in response to george floyd s death. the economy, when we hopefully emerge from this pandemic, sooner thousands converged on downtown rather than later. particularly in los angeles, and after violence here over the weekend, relation to tourism, to air travel. this time their call for change was peaceful. what is the uk saying about its quarantine plans, due to come in night time cu rfews remain in place here, from the beginning of next week, for as well as in new york people coming into the uk? the uk and washington dc. in minneapolis, where all this is, in many ways, unique, because began, anger gave way to cheers at the news that former police large parts of europe are now officer derek chauvin is to face beginning to ease their restrictions a more serious murder charge. on travel and tourism. some tourism let me hear y all ministers are encouraging people to say we got all four! we got all four! come back and visit their holiday hotspots. in britain, the opposite appears to be happening because we and at the news that the three other are now imposing, from monday, a officers involved in mr floyd s death have now been arrested. mandatory 1a day quarantine for they stand accused of aiding people arriving in the uk and that and abetting his murder. has sparked huge, huge opposition, president trump s often bellicose response to the recent unrest here has unnerved even some including from conservative mps, who feel it will deliver a body blow to in his own party. and now his former defence secretary the aviation industry and, indeed, to the holiday and travel business james mattis is voicing concern. in britain. and what is striking is the revolt, if you like, is being in a withering critique led by some of the most senior and in the atlantic magazine, mr mattis accuses the president of an abuse of power and writes. previously loyal conservative mps, including amongst them the former prime minister theresa may, and their argument, bluntly, is prime minister theresa may, and theirargument, bluntly, is notjust theirargument, bluntly, is notjust the damage this measure will do but donald trump responded promptly. also that it makes no sense, in that britain did not have a quarantine system at the peak of the pandemic, why on earth is it imposing one when the pandemic is beginning to tail off? this morning, we have heard from government ministers resolutely i see limitless potential that defending the policy, among them the deserves to flourish and thrive. cabinet minister brandon lewis. you should be able to learn and make mistakes and live a life ofjoy. the spread of the virus within the communities here in the uk is much lower america s first black president than it was, it has gotten struck a starkly different and more to a lower level and we want to see optimistic tone to that of president trump in that continue to be low a virtual town hall event. and that is why this is the right time to bring this in, because, as patrick vallance was outlining, as tragic as these past when you have a higher few weeks have been, as difficult and scary and uncertain community transmission rates, the difference somebody coming into the country can make as they ve been, they ve also been is much more marginal an incredible opportunity and much more negligible. as our rates are now much lower and moving lower and lower, hopefully, as we go forward, for people to be awakened. it has a much bigger impact, that is why we are bringing this in. now, the government has promised to keep the policy under review and the right now, i think the nation next date for the review is in three needs law and order, weeks time, but, given the level of because you have a bad group of people out there opposition from conservative mps, it seems to be quite possible that this and they are using george floyd and they are using a lot of other policy will have to be shelved well people to try and do some bad before then. norman, thank you very things and what we do. we have it totally under control. much. norman smith in westminster. let s recap the headlines on bbc george floyd s family and friends are due together in minneapolis news. on thursday for a memorial service a german sex offender has been identified as a new suspect in his honour. the calls for a radical reform in the disappearance of the british of race relations in this girl madeline mccann from a holiday country are growing. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. resort in portugal 13 years ago. president trump s former defence secretary, james mattis, has launched a stinging attack on him, over his threat to use meghan markle has spoken out troops to end the protests following the protests over sweeping the united states. the duchess of sussex speaks the death of george floyd. of her own experience of racism in a video message, speaking in the wake of the killing to the graduating class of her former high school, she said she felt compelled to address what s happening in america. of george floyd in minneapolis. the only wrong thing to say let s return to the us, is to say nothing, because. and the continued outrage over ..george floyd s life mattered the death of african american and breonna taylor s life mattered george floyd at the hands of police. and philando castile s life mattered as we heard earlier, president trump s former and tamir rice s life mattered. defence secretary, james mattis, has denounced the president as divisive and expressed his and so did so many other people support for the street protests whose names we know and whose demanding racialjustice in america, names we do not know. in the wake of mr floyd s death. stephon clark, his life mattered. so with the us elections later this year, how will this current situation play out in the polls? and i was thinking about this moment when i was a sophomore in high school. with me are ren brewster, a political commentator and president trump supporter, i was 15 and, as you know, who was a campaign manager for ronald reagan. sophomore year is the year also drjulie norman, that we do volunteer work, which is a prerequisite for graduating. who s a political analyst at university college london and supports joe biden. and i remember my teacher at the time, one of my teachers, said to me before i was leaving thank you both very much for your before a day of volunteering, always remember to put others time today, we appreciate you coming along to talk to us about this. ren, needs above your own fears. first of all, that attack from the headlines on bbc news. former defence secretary james matos on the president but also his current defence secretary saying a german sex offender has been there is no need for the president to talk about evoking the identified as a prime suspect in the disappearance of the british insurrection act and bringing troops girl madeleine mccann from a holiday resort in portugal 13 years ago. out to militarise this mattis. you think it is a bad idea, getting german investigating police say the military involved in stepping it they assume madeleine is dead. president trump s former defence secretary, james mattis, up the military involved in stepping it up from the police? actually, i has launched a stinging attack on him, over his threat to use think the military should get troops to end the protests involved at this point because right now, in new york and minnesota and a sweeping the united states. the duchess of sussex speaks of her own experience of racism lot of these blue democratic cities in the wake of the killing and states, we are having problem of george floyd in minneapolis. with the riots and the military is the only way you can stop this, because you have three elements. you do have the peaceful protesters. iran has recorded its highest daily count of new coronavirus infections the great majority are peaceful. since the outbreak began. 7996. the great majority are peaceful. 79%. that is right, but you have two official figures just released show that in the past 2a more elements, the antifa anarchist hours, there were more element and the looting element, than 3,500 new infections. the country has suffered looking for opportunities to go into the deadliest outbreak in the middle east, but has moved in phases to reopen as much a store and loot wants the chaos begins, so you have these three of the country as possible. elements and so you do need the the number of new infections has been increasing in some military. does the president not provinces for several days. have faith in the police force to handle all of this? it isjust a matter of numbers. there is not enough police. what the military does, once you put them in place, there are certain areas the police force do not have to watch or cover, so force do not have to watch or cover, so the military can cover certain areas and then the police can do let s go back to that news about theirjob. the new york city police suspicion falling on a german man department, i m sure you will agree, is probably the best police department in the united states, as over the disappearance of madeleine good as the police department in mccann. clarence mitchell is the spokesperson london, i m sure, but they do need for the mccann family. he told the bbc that the family hasn t given up hope of finding help and the military is that form madeleine alive. of help they need in a situation like this. the best way to handle this is to have a 7pm curfew and quell the violence right away and then let the peaceful protesters protest during the day. let me bring in doctorjulie norman. when the national guard moved into the family are very grateful, as minneapolis, president trump said it they have been all the way through isa minneapolis, president trump said it this, to the police forces involved, is a beautiful thing to watch. we know that he is a president who to the british police, now the germans and indeed the portuguese admires these displays of power, of police. they simply want to establish what happened to their law and order, how do you think this daughter, to find out the truth and to bring whoever was responsible for is going to have an impact in the her disappearance to justice. polls, because, you know, it seems they have not given up hope of finding madeleine alive, despite the length of time, they ve never given up that hope, almost distasteful in a way to be but they are realistic, and they say that whatever talking about the polls later this the outcome of this appeal and the police work, year but, nonetheless, this is very they do need to know, much what is going on in the because they need to find peace. our berlin correspondent response to coronavirus and of jenny hilljoins us now. jenny, we have heard from the german course the response to george public prosecutor within the last floyd s death, this is very much half an hour, telling us a little going to be influencing what people bit more about what has led police to this man. what did you make of do in november. it certainly will what he had to say? yes, i think in have an influence and, as you said, right now, we are really focusing on the events happening right now, this many ways he repeated what we have week, but, of course, these are already heard from the police who going to have a longer effect and made a public appeal on german television last night. i think the response that we saw from trump perhaps the most stark thing that varied ina the prosecutor here had to say is the response that we saw from trump varied in a couple of ways. first of all, the national guard deployment that the investigators in germany that we saw in some of the states in are convinced that madeleine mccann response to some of those early is dead. they suspect she was killed nights that did include high levels of violence, those were requests by the german man, a a3 year old who from governors to bring in national guard members who are members of they say is currently serving a their reserves, so those are people prison sentence for another unrelated crime. they say he does who are trained and expected to support police forces in that way. have previous convictions for the that is different to calling for an sexual assault of children, and he active military deployment, which is was living in portugal between 1995 what we heard trump say a couple of days ago. so it is that kind of and 2007. he has been named, he is escalator or a language that a lot of democrats in particular but also believed, or not officially by the many republicans are can back it is prosecutor, i should say. he is a concerned about, that trump is using rhetoric but also policy to escalate man called christian b, his full the situation rather than diffused name is not circulating, and that it the situation rather than diffused hasn t been officially confirmed as it republicans are concerned about. so there is concern among yet. last night german police made democrats but also some republicans that do see this as potentially an appeal to find out more about this man and his movements at the hurting trump a s standing with time in the algarve. he lived for moderates but will continue to some time in a house quite close to galvanise democrats around this praia da luz where madeleine mccann issue. ren, when james mattis made went missing. german detectives are keen to find out more about two his comments, he said the situation vehicles he is known to have used, calls for mature leadership, not one a dark red jaguar, the other a inflammatory language and a yougov red and white yellow and white vw camper van. survey in the states recently had red and white yellow and white vw campervan. a red and white yellow and white vw camper van. a television programme 5296 survey in the states recently had 52% of people polled thinking that last night, similar to the british the president is a racist, compared programme crimewatch, where investigators ask public for their help in solving old cases, they are with 37% who said he isn t. i mean, this is surely going to damage his now pinning their hopes on members of the public coming forward with standing in the polls come november, more information. they say they need do you think? actually, president those final details before they can trump has a very strong base, the really end their investigation into this case. but i must repeat that same base that put him in office in they are convinced here that they are looking at a murder. they say 2016, but as far as damaging him same base that put him in office in 2016, but as faras damaging him in madeline mccann is dead, killed, the polls, i don t think too many of they believe, by a german man. this isa they believe, by a german man. this is a murder investigation. jenny, his republican and some democrat thank you for that. jenny hill in backers in the election change votes berlin. the northern ireland executive because of this. the races, do something they seem to go back to is meeting today to discuss the easing of lockdown. after they have worked the russia if it confirms the changes, outdoor weddings with ten people concept, they have worked at the present will be allowed ukraine telephone call, they are from the 8th ofjune. going back to racist now because let s speak to a couple who are they realise thatjoe biden is getting married this summer slipping in the polls and joe biden peter mcconnell and sarah mcafee just had his comment, when he talked in ballymena in county antrim. toa just had his comment, when he talked to a radio announcer about if you i m delighted to say they both join are black, you should be voting for me now. congratulations to you both. me, or some statement to that sarah, perhaps if i can start with effect, so he had a problem with you. how have your plans been that also. so, right now, that is affected by this virus?” the theme they are going to try you. how have your plans been affected by this virus? i guess it s and. by president trump is not the uncertainty at the minute. and racist. let s see what julie makes up the uncertainty at the minute. and up untila up racist. let s see what julie makes up that. of course, trump has his the uncertainty at the minute. and up until a while back, we didn t know how many people we would be base of supporters that will support allowed, and just realising we had him no matter what but we are also to make a call ourselves, make a talking about people perhaps you didn t vote at the last election and decisionjust to reduce if you look specifically at the to make a call ourselves, make a decision just to reduce the numbers ourselves, and we are going to do a group of african american voters in the us, if they are going to get out really small wedding, and then hopefully celebrate with all of our in enough numbers to supportjoe guests at some point in the future. biden, jude and joe biden can win and what you think ofjoe biden s so, yes, we are working round it, response to all of this so far? that it s fine. peter, can ijust clarify. are you in separate houses? is going to be the big question right now. as ren pointed out, joe we are, we are only ten minutes biden has been a bit uneven on some apart from each other, but separate houses. so when did you last see of his comments about race, each other in person? since the including in recent weeks, but he came out with a very strong northern ireland executive brought in the distance we have been able to statement in philadelphia, where he had a very well formulated he had see each other at the weekend. so you are hoping that this wedding can very well formulated discussion points, finding his voice on this go ahead in august. how difficult issue in a way we hadn t heard has it been, though, deciding who to before, speaking very directly to a invite and perhaps more importantly lot of the concerns we are seeing who not to invite, if you are only expressed across the united states allowed a handful of guests, sarah? but again, it was framed around empathy, unity and calmness and tricky, but as i say, we plan to do really trying to underscore those factors that made him an appealing candidate to many in the primaries a really small wedding with just and he hopes will make him an close family, so we are really appealing candidate to many during hoping that by the time august comes the general elections as well. the big question as to what extent he we will be allowed to have perhaps can translate that into real policy 20 guests, and then we plan to celebrate again in the future with proposals that will resonate enough with democrats and certain everybody that we wanted there. so demographics of democratic voters to get them out to the polls in we are excited. there are not many november. julie anne ren, thank you people who get to have two wedding very much for your time. days, so it is good. peter, have there been any aunts and uncles or meghan markle has spoken out following the protests over distant cousins who have said they the death of george floyd. are sorry that they won t be able to in a video message, speaking join you? i think the fact that we to the graduating class of her former high school, she said she felt compelled to have next year pencilled in already, they are all looking forward to address what s happening in america. that. but obviously they can t make the only wrong thing to say it this year. but at least we have is to say nothing, because. next year to look forward to.” it this year. but at least we have next year to look forward to. i do ..george floyd s life mattered assume there will be no stag night? know, that was meant to be this and breonna taylor s life mattered weekend, but that will have to be and philando castile s life mattered postponed as well. and sarah, i have to ask you about the dress. i and tamir rice s life mattered. suppose this could be an opportunity, you might be able to and so did so many other people wear it twice? most brides don t get whose names we know and whose names we do not know. that chance. that is going to be the stephon clark, his life mattered. case, hopefully. it is funny, actually, my brother in law, we were and i was thinking about chatting about it one day, and i this moment when i was said, i don t know whether to get a sophomore in high school. another dress or to wear the same i was 15 and, as you know, one twice, and he was like, if i sophomore year is the year could just have one input, he said that we do volunteer work, which is a prerequisite whenever we got married, this was for graduating. him and my sister, he said at the end of the day, she took her dress and i remember my teacher at the time, one of my off and she was like, i can t teachers, said to me believe that is the only time i will before i was leaving before a day ever get to wear that, and he was of volunteering, always remember to put others needs like my advice is to just wear it twice. peter, what about you? have above your own fears. you got your outfit? nope! i was demonstrations have taken place around the world, in solidarity with the black lives matter protests in the us . rich preston has been looking going to get fitted before lockdown, at the global picture and life has gone on hold. you don t over the last 2a hours. seem and life has gone on hold. you don t seem too sorry about that. and very briefly, honeymoon plans? we were meant to go to kenya in september, but at the minute we haven t heard anything about that. we are kind of hoping that might go ahead, but. thousands gathered in london s hyde park on wednesday we must leave it there. thank you to show their support for the black lives matter movement, and calling both had good luck. you are watching forjustice for george floyd. ..before marching bbc news. towards westminster. ..and gathering outside the houses of parliament. it was an image mirrored across europe. the prince of wales has said he got here, in finland, where thousands away with it quite lightly chanted george floyd s last words. when he contracted coronavirus all chant: i can t breathe! at the beginning of the uk s epidemic in march. prince charles said he self isolated after testing positive for the virus ..and sending their message to the us. and only experienced mild symptoms. the way that everyone showed up he also used the interview today, and especially with sky news to highlight his in an homogenous, white concerns over the environment. our royal correspondent country such as finland, it s sending a big message that many nicholas witchell has more. more people than just black people are tired. he has been campaigning protesters in denmark took to one on the environment for more than a0 knee as a symbol of support, condemning racism and calling years, and he believes as the world emerges from the coronavirus forjustice to be done. pandemic, there will be as he puts in central germany, protesters it a golden opportunity in frankfurt decrying racism to build something better. of all kinds. he calls it the great reset, and the fact that he too experience the virus has sharpened his resolve. translation: the difference is that, there, it was recorded but it it makes me more determined to push does not mean it does not happen here and it is not bad and shove and shout and prod, here and it has to stop. it is vital to stand up against it, notjust here in germany but all over the world. if you see what mean. translation: the most we can do whatever i can do, behind the scenes sometimes, here is show solidarity with people but yes, i mean, over there and to go out i suppose it did partly. on the streets and show them i mean, i was lucky in my case that they are not alone. and got away with it quite likely. crowds in the greek capital, athens, marched towards the us embassy people have gone through. the prince expressed his deep but the demonstration turned violent. sympathy for what so many protesters threw stones at police, families had to endure. who responded with tear gas. explosion. in cape town, south africa, but as we recover from the pandemic, he hoped people would see where legalised discrimination that the planet and its damaged in the form of apartheid is, environment should be treated as the patient. for many, within living memory, messages of unity and solidarity. so no self respecting doctor i think it s really important would ever have let the situation, if the planet is a patient, to show some kind of support reach this stage before making an intervention. and for all of us to stand hence, you know, the precautionary against something that principle, which seems to me we know is not right. absolutely essential. what started out as a seemingly it was time, the prince said, innocuous call to police to put nature back at the centre of our collective concerns. in minneapolis over a week ago, nicholas witchell, bbc news. resulted in the death of a man, sparking an outpouring of emotion now it s time for a look and a civil uprising, at the weather with matt taylor. notjust in the city where it happened but around the world. hello. as well as staying cooler and cloudier, we are also going to add hong kong s legislative assembly has passed a bill stronger winds into the mix too. not which would make it illegal to show too strong

on air travel coming into the country. i mean, it s been pretty much nonexistent for months now. there are cargo flights between the city and certain other parts of europe and parts of the world, but no passengers coming or going. so that disintegrating relationship between the us and china in particular has extended to empty skies. no passengerflights into china since mid march. china is now saying that it is willing to change that, it is willing to let some qualifying airlines resumed flights to a city on the mainland of their choosing to resume flights. that came after donald trump, in an attempt to increase pressure on beijing, said he was going to ban all chinese airlines leaving this country and flying to the united states from the middle of this month. so what is clear, slight easing of the restrictions coming from the chinese civil aviation authority. they are also going to be hello, this is bbc news. willing to let foreign airlines that the headlines. a major new

when he hosts a vaccine summit in london. cents yesterday. a total of 1021 and prince charles talks about being affected by coronavirus, patients are currently in hospital saying he got away lightly. with either confirmed or suspected covid 19. that represents a total decrease of 96 since yesterday, including a decrease of 21 in the let s return now to the developments number of confirmed cases in in the investigation hospital. a total of 28 people last into the disappearance of the british girl madeleine mccann, who went missing 13 years ago. it was back in may 2007 night were in intensive care with when the three year old vanished confirmed or suspected covid 19, and during a family holiday thatis confirmed or suspected covid 19, and that is a decrease of six since yesterday. i am also able to confirm in the algarve. today that since the 5th of march, a total of 3678 patients who had she was sleeping in an apartment while her parents, tested positive and required kate and gerry, ate with friends hospital treatment for the virus have now been able to leave in a nearby restaurant. the portuguese police launched hospital. in the last 2a hours, nine an investigation, deaths have been registered of but byjuly 2008 it was called to patients confirmed through a test as a halt with no official suspects. having the virus, and that takes the david cameron picked up the cause after he became uk prime minister, total number of deaths in scotland and by 2013 the british met police was ready to launch and that measurement to 2395. as i its own investigation. operation grange as it was named often say, we cannot and we should was slow and painstaking work which has cost close to £12 million, not read too much into any one day s but last year the uk government agreed to extend funding. figures, and tomorrow s figure or last night saw the next day s figure may be higher the biggest development yet, than the one i have given you, but i as detectives appealed for information about a german sex offender think it is still worth noting today currently injailfor an unrelated offence that yesterday was the first weekday who was in the area since the 27th of march when the when madeleine went missing. clarence mitchell is the number of deaths registered under our daily measure was in single figures. i think that demonstrates spokesperson for the mccann family. the progress we are making against he told the bbc that the family hasn t given up hope this virus, but it also underlines of finding madeleine alive. why we all continue to need to the family are very grateful, as they have been all the way comply with the public health through this, to the police forces involved, guidance so that we continue to make not least the british police this progress and don t allow it to go into reverse. of course, nine but now the germans and indeed deaths is still too many, and the portuguese police. they won t be doing any interviews, they would much rather the focus thinking of those nine lives are remains on the investigation and the appeal the police lost reinforces the point that i have just made overnight. but, as i say, they are grateful and they welcome this appeal. make every day, that these figures they simply want to establish are not just make every day, that these figures what happened to their daughter, are notjust statistics. they to find out the truth, represent people. unique and and to bring whoever was responsible irreplaceable individuals whose loss will have left families shattered for her disappearance to justice. they have not given up hope and weaving, so i send my condolences once again to everyone of finding madeleine alive, who has lost a loved one to this despite the length of time, they ve never given up that hope, but they are realistic, virus. grieving. iwanted and they say that whatever who has lost a loved one to this the outcome of this appeal virus. grieving. i wanted to thank the health and care workers, and the police work, they do need to know, asi thank the health and care workers, as i always do. they have done incredible work throughout, and notwithstanding the following numbers in hospital and in intensive because they need to find peace. care, they continue to do incredible work in challenging circumstances. my work in challenging circumstances. my thanks go to each and everyone of you, and the entire country owes you a debt of gratitude. i am joined in more than 13 years, i can t recall an instance today by the chief medical officer where the police have been at the cabinet secretary for health. so specific about an individual. the cabinet secretary has some granted, yes, he s not been information to share about the named, but nevertheless they are looking for specific prioritisation of cancer services, details about his movements at the time of madeleine s and the chief medical officer will disappearance, his vehicle usage, what he did with those vehicles focus on figures posted yesterday afterwards, and indeed relating to patients in intensive down to the level of mobile phone usage on the day care. before they speak, i want to and night in question. now, of all the thousands of leads acknowledge the job losses that were and potential suspects that have been mentioned in the past announced yesterday at rolls royce or discussed in the media, there has never been something in shannon. that announcement will as clear cut as that from notjust one but indeed have been devastating news for the now three police forces. workforce at what already is very so it does appear to be significant, but the police, you know, devastating time, and unfortunately it may not be the last of its kind they may still have reason to rule this man out at some stage, in the period ahead. i want to but it certainly appears that he, and the police said this themselves, stress the scottish government will do everything we can to secure as they are treating him good an outcome we can for those as their prime suspect for now. whose jobs are at risk. yesterday s the vehicle it is said that this man news emphasises a point i have made was apparently living in. before, that alongside a public he had lived in the algarve for some time but had disappeared health emergency, we are also now from a known address about a year dealing with an economic emergency before madeleine went missing ona but was presumed to have dealing with an economic emergency on a scale that none of us have still been in the area, using this camper van experienced before. that requires to sleep in, apparently. and it will get the attention and the car he was also focus of the scottish government using and is said to have just as the health emergency has and continues to get. we have already re registered its ownership or its driver details allocated more than £2.3 billion to in germany the very day after madeleine went missing, which is obviously a cause help businesses through measures for the police to be such as grants and business rates interested in that, relief, that is in addition to and the mobile number, welcome a uk government measures the portuguese numbers, such as the furlough scheme. it would appear, that he received mitigating and addressing the economic cost of covid 19 is of a call from another portuguese number lasting half an hour course going to become an even around an hour before madeleine went missing, and the police are hoping that those greater priority priority in the numbers, which are being months ahead, but alongside that, as circulated by the authorities, and the vehicle pictures, pa rt might just jog the memory months ahead, but alongside that, as part of our response, we also want of somebody who was in the area to help businesses as much as or would know more details possible to adapt and find new markets. more of the areas we have about this man. been doing that already is in the police have always insisted, relation to personal and protective as have the private investigators, equipment, ppe in scotland. we are that probablyjust one or two, publishing a report today that a handful of people, know more

takes some time to rebuild key public health guidance. i am some of the systems around them. asking you today to focus notjust it s going to be important on what you are now allowed to do as to make sure we can continue to deliver routine vaccinations, a result of the small changes we made last week, but to focus even but also as we rapidly move forward towards having covid vaccines available, more so on made last week, but to focus even these are the same systems more so on what we made last week, but to focus even more so on what we are made last week, but to focus even more so on what we are still asking we re going to use to be you not to do. it is by not doing able to deliver those, as well to look for further outbreaks. certain things right now that we will all help stop this virus despite the challenges, spreading. so that means not meeting the work continues. these medics are going door to door here in colombia, other households indoors, not coming as world leaders meet virtually within two metres of people from for the global vaccine summit, hosted by the uk, to ensure these other households, not shaking their life saving campaigns can continue. hands or hugging them for example. tulip mazumdar, bbc news. not sharing food or utensils with others. or touching hard services that they may also have touched. not leaving your face uncovered in enclosed spaces like shops and well, in the coming hours the global public transport. i am asking you to leaders will meet virtually think about all of that, all of for the annual global vaccine summit. hosted by the uk this year, these things we are asking you not to do every time you leave home or the british prime minister boris johnson will encourage nations meet with someone from another to donate billions to

tulip mazumdarjoins me now. traditionally scottish with heavy this conference was planned well rain, iwant traditionally scottish with heavy rain, i want to particularly before coronavirus was on our

again. if you are not willing to get your waterproofs on yes indeed, i mean, this is a and meet outdoors, do not meet up at replenishment conference that all. i cannot emphasise that actually takes place every five yea rs strongly enough. to recap, you actually takes place every five years to bring money to the vaccine should still be staying at home most of the time and you should still be alliance which approximates around half of the world s children against meeting the fewer people than normal. if your life feels like it some of those deadly diseases we is getting back to normal at the heard about in my report, but this moment, you should ask yourself whether it should be and whether you was planned well before the are complying with all of the coronavirus pandemic hit, and now guidance. when you do meet people the big challenge that governments from another household, you must and health workers and health leaders have all around the world is stay outdoors and you must stay two metres apart from them. don t meet vaccinating children against with more than one other household diseases that are preventable in the ata with more than one other household at a time. don t meet with more than midst of a massive global pandemic. one day and keep to a maximum, i but clearly another issue that is stress at maximum, of eight people going to be discussed at the meeting in ourgroup. wash todayis going to be discussed at the meeting today is when can we expect these stress at maximum, of eight people in our group. wash your hands often, ta ke in our group. wash your hands often, take hand sanitiser if you are out and about, where a face covering crucial covid 19 vaccine, and when it does come online, if it does come online, there are hopes it could when you are in a shop or public happen towards the end of the year, transport, avoid touching hard services and clean any you do touch. next year, how is it going to be if you have the symptoms of covid 19 distributed all around the world and you continue to cough, have a fairly to some of those communities you saw there in my report, the fever or have a loss or change in your sense of smell and taste, you poorest children on the planet? and must get tested and follow the what will be discussed today is how advice on self isolation. above all that will happen in practice, so else, please remember that the decisions each of us take right now what is being discussed by gavi and as individuals will affect the by other countries is whether there should be the mass production of health and well being of all of us. some of the front runners of so please, i am asking you to continue to do the right thing as covid 19 vaccines that are already you have been doing and to stick to in human trials, around ten of those all of these guidelines. it really at the moment, a couple in the uk matters. it matters as much now as it did at the start of this here, in the us, in china, whether pandemic. by doing that, we will those should actually be scaled up at the moment, or in the very near continue to slow the spread of the virus and we will save lives, so my future, or when they, fingers thanks once again to all of you for doing that. i now hand over to the crossed, are given the green light chief medical officer to say a few in terms of effectiveness, in terms words before handing to the

before handing to the health secretary. gregor. iwant to words before handing to the health secretary. gregor. i want to pay tribute today to a particular group of staff in our nhs, and that is our but countries all around the world as soon as but countries all around the world as soon as possible. the first people that will probably get them, no matter where you are in the icu staff. yesterday there was a world, will probably be health report that showed how many people had been admitted to icu between the workers, but that is all up for discussion. there have been discussions in the past, with swine flu, for example, when the richer mid march and may. that shows how countries were able to get their ha rd mid march and may. that shows how hard our nhs boards, managers, hands on the vaccine first, and facilities teams and icu staff have several countries have committed worked to make sure the facilities over the last few weeks and months we re worked to make sure the facilities were and remain available for that they will commit again at this everyone in scotland who might benefit from them. from the ist of gavi conference to making sure that march to the 16th of may, 516 people there is equitable access to everybody who needs this covid vaccine if and when it finally does we re march to the 16th of may, 516 people were admitted to icu units across the country with confirmed covid 19. come. tulip, will there be a this demand was at its greatest discussion about the discussion of between the 29th of march and the your report, the impact of covid 19 6th of april. we now know that what on other immunisation programmes? would have been a normal baseline because in all of this, you know, we have been talking about the capacity for the most complex level pandemic, the deaths caused directly of icu care, which we call level by that, but the secondary effects three, was actually exceeded between of that. well, absolutely, and this the 3ist of march and the 2ath of april. this reached a maximum on the 9th of april, where we were ag% over is, some would argue, perhaps more our usual baseline capacity for icu. crucial. these are diseases, polio, however, thanks to the hard work and planning put in place by health measles, diphtheria, they are boards across the country, we had preve nta ble, measles, diphtheria, they are preventable, and children do not need to die of these diseases, but ple nty of boards across the country, we had plenty of additional capacity available to cope. facilities and what is happening, as you had in my staff, managers and medical physics report, because of the pandemic, technicians in every part of supplies are being disrupted, air scotland repurposed words, created freight of vaccines getting into countries have not been able to get extra space and ensured that there in because of travel restrictions, was enough intensive care equipment pa rents in because of travel restrictions, parents have been worried about to treat every patient who came going to clinics for the fear of through a hospital door and might catching coronavirus, and some of the statistics you heard about how benefit from them. hospital staff this could impact children is truly and doctors and nurses to domestic staff and porters, made sure that each one of these people were given devastating, particularly as itjust doesn t need to happen. again, yes, the best treatment possible in a absolutely this will be discussed, safe and clean environment. although and that is why borisjohnson, the the demand for icu services was far british prime minister, will say today that, actually, it is clear below above our usual capacity, it also exceeded the additional that global health, that the sort of capacity created. this 585 they had systems a re that global health, that the sort of systems are supported, because what we do know is that vaccines for tripled our baseline number of beds these diseases can save hundreds of and we are still able to support our millions of children s lives all around the world. they have been doing that for many years. what they response to coronavirus. health boards are still working to ensure don t want is a backsliding, taking the number is over 700 beds, us don t want is a backsliding, taking us back several decades to where we we re us back several decades to where we were before because of coronavirus, quadrupling our usual icu capacity as part of a long contingency plan. so were before because of coronavirus, so absolutely that will be discussed notjust the as part of a long contingency plan. not just the numbers as part of a long contingency plan. notjust the numbers of as part of a long contingency plan. not just the numbers of patients we today, and the hope is they will be have seen on icu that show our hard able to raise this money, around £6 billion, around $7.11 billion, so work from the nhs staff. is the care that they can vaccinate around 300 that was needed by these patients million children over the next five was up that was needed by these patients was up on average a person yea rs. that was needed by these patients was up on average a person with covid 19 has to stay in icu for over million children over the next five years. tulip, thank you very much, nine days. that is longer than you tulip mazumdar, our global health would normally expect to see people correspondent there. staying in and icu ward, and 60% had russia s president putin has declared a state of emergency after 20,000 tonnes of diesel fuel leaked into a river within the arctic circle in siberia. an even longer save us the accident occured a week ago staying in and icu ward, and 60% had an even longer save us 80% of those patients in icu had to be put on a near the siberian city of norilsk and could be the worst environmental ventilator to assist their breathing, and 80% needed support disaster in the region. for their heart and blood pressure. our moscow correspondent around 30% needed treatments like sarah rainsford says the scale of the dialysis to support the kidneys when accident is huge. they couldn t function properly. i 20,000 tonnes of fuel diesel that spilt out of this tanker at a power have said many times that we plant up near the city of norilsk continue to learn more about the effect of this virus, and this shows in the russian arctic. the virus affects far beyond its impact on peoples lungs and then it crossed some 12 kilometres breathing alone. we know that this to reach a river, virus would put additional pressure the river ambarnaya, on our icu teams and hospital and has been flowing down that river capacity and our staff. but i am now for several days. very proud of how my colleagues the clean up operation has finally begun, across the clinical and support and we re told that the spill teams have risen to the challenge. itself has been contained. the number of people in icy you care it s been fenced off, but the big have been declining, which is question is what to do now? promising. we must make sure that as now, environmentalists are warning we move on into recovery and beyond that this is an event that we do notjeopardise the of catastrophic implications for wildlife in the area, progress we are made. i ask you for the water systems too. today once again that you stick to and at the moment, it seems that officials here in russia the guidance, reduce your chance of really don t know creating bridges for this virus to how to deal with this. it is in an extremely remote area spread and help us to ensure that in of the russian arctic, the tundra. there are no roads to the area. the future we never need to use this full icu capacity. thank you. i hand the river itself is not over to the cabinet secretary. last navigable by boat. so there are big questions sunday, i published our framework to about what they re going to do guide the framework to mobilise with this fuel, which they re now pumping out of the river systems. re cover guide the framework to mobilise recover and redesign the nhs in and yesterday on state tv, scotland. today i want to talk a bit there was quite an extraordinary about our work to do that for cancer video conference that president putin held services and in particular vital with his ministers cancer surgery. cancer was and with the local officials in that area, in norilsk area. services and in particular vital cancer surgery. cancer was at clinical priority for this and he was asking government before covid 19, and it what on earth had happened, has remain so. whilst the majority and essentially berating local officials of cancer treatment has continued, that he said had taken two days some treatment plans have changed to inform the emergencies ministry and to inform the authorities due to the significant new risk about what had happened. so suggesting there had been posed by the virus, and that has some kind of attempt to cover this up been particularly the case in terms for a couple of days. in fact, he said that the authorities had found out of cancer surgery. been particularly the case in terms about this from social media. of cancer surgery. the decision to postpone or delay some cancer he was absolutely furious, treatments is one that i know none and one of the newspaper headlines of our doctors would have advised this morning described him without a lot of careful thought and as being white with rage . compassion, and i am grateful to them for that. now as we begin to well, this isn t president putin s only problem at the moment. his approval rating slowly and safely restart our nhs, i has fallen to an all time low. russia, like many countries, am pleased to announce we are is suffering acute economic hardship after weeks of coronavirus lockdown. publishing today the framework for amid rising unemployment, there are signs of growing recovery of ca nce r publishing today the framework for recovery of cancer surgery. disillusionment with the kremlin. publishing today the framework for recovery of cancer surgery. it has two key aims that i want to see steve rosenberg reports. made. firstly that all patients are bells toll. prioritised in the same way across often, it s when darkness approaches scotland and secondly that within that you see most clearly that prioritisation, patients are offered the earliest available how the city is struggling. appointment for their surgery. that every night, appointment for their surgery. that appointment may be outside their this mobile soup kitchen feeds the hungry of st petersburg. local board area, but that is in demand has doubled order to allow us to ensure that since the pandemic the economic consequence of covid. prioritisation is the same across the country no matter where patients live and that they are given the this man tells me he s been on the coronavirus diet, surviving on water earliest possible opportunity. prioritising and treating patients on the basis of clinical need and hoping thejobs come back. requires regional working, sometimes i have to start shoplifting, national working, across our health says vladimir, a chef who s been laid off. boards. i am writing today to our what else can i do? board chief executives to set that out. to ensure the focus remains on milana s family relies the prioritisation of cancer on food parcels now. she and her husband services, i have set up to national have lost their jobs. the kremlin says its supporting families like milana s, cancer groups. the national cancer recovery group will be chaired by but not nearly enough, she thinks. professor aileen keel. it will provide a strategic national oversight of all cancer services through their immobilisation phase will stop it will meet tomorrow and continue to weekly. important to them reporting to them is a further group which will drive equity of access to cancer treatment across the country. i wanted to thank all of those who have been with unemployment rising, vladimir putin s popularity has fallen to its lowest level involved in cancer services through in 20 years. this pandemic in our nhs and in the third sector for all of their work, you can sense a change in mood andl third sector for all of their work, and i know that i can thank them in despair is fuelling disillusionment advance for the work that i know they will continue to do. the final with those in power. thing i want to say is to those vladimir putin s big selling point to the russian people patients who are waiting for has always been, i am the man who brought you stability. treatment for cancer. i want you to but take that stability away, be assured that you are a priority, and suddenly it becomes much harder our absolute focus is on making sure for president putin to convince russians that you are treated as a sin and as that he has the solution to their problems. safely as possible. and what i have just outlined, however briefly, will yaroslav tells me help to make sure that that happens. about his problems. many thanks. we will go now to a coronavirus nurse, he and his colleagues complained questions as usual. first questions online about a lack of ppe. from the bbc. thank you. can you soon after, he got the virus. share with us at are numbered today yaroslav is a member of putin s and with that in mind, looking party, but not for much longer. across the country, there are several areas which have had no new cases for at least a week, and in some cases much longer. is it fair now for them to be under the same disappointment restrictions as the rest of the country, and is it something you are actively considering now that there milana knows all about that. should be a different approach for different parts of the country? the estimate of the hour number that will be published today, we now publish this every thursday, it may coronavirus isn t only claiming lives another casualty have already been published, is 0.7 of this pandemic is hope. steve rosenberg, bbc -0.9. have already been published, is 0.7 - 0.9. that have already been published, is 0.7 0.9. that is compared to a 0.7 news, st petersburg. one last week, so it remains relatively steady, which underlines our caution. and the care that we need to take, and the publication will be published today will give us some news to bring you from iran, it information about the estimated level of infectiousness across the country. so we are making progress, is reporting 357a new virus and the supplementary indicators infections, its highest daily total that i cover here every day demonstrate, i think, that i cover here every day demonstrate, ithink, the that i cover here every day demonstrate, i think, the extent of that progress, so the decline in icu case is that gregor talked about yet, 357a new infections of covid 19. iran s government had been today. icu cases are now 87% down on warning of a second, stronger wave the peak level, and we see them down in the middle east s biggest again today. a number of deaths, coronavirus outbreak after reporting while still too high as long as its highest daily number of cases in there are any debts, i will consider the past two months. people seem to that an unacceptable number, but think it is over, the health minister is quoted as saying, the that an unacceptable number, but thatis that an unacceptable number, but that is clearly reducing as are outbreak is not over yet, and at any hospital admissions, so we are going moment it may come back stronger than before. in the right direction. i cannot stress enough how fragile it still the long term impact remains, because we are seeing new of coronavirus can be severe, both physically and mentally, cases in our health boards everyday. with some patients struggling to adapt to a normal life. i would make two points about this in the last week, the uk s first extensive part of question. firstly rehabilitation centre dedicated to covid 19 patients has opened. is that, and we have already said sima kotecha has been this, and if you cast your mind by queers to remind people every day, but we figured that people had got to the seacole centre in surrey. message. “ but we figured that people had got message. cast your mind back. our my first time on sticks. the road to recovery for those numbers are estimates because they with coronavirus can be a long and arduous one. are numbers coming through the david is 73 and spent laboratory system through tests, so seven weeks unconscious. he first developed sepsis and then caught the virus, which he still has. there will always be a degree of underestimation in that, and that is he also had a heart attack. just an important caveat that we you feel as though you re in a bit have got to take account of. as we ofa dream, a bit ofa haze, start to publish data which we and you can t appreciate what s hopefully will start doing next week on test and protect, that will give actually going on around you. us another source of data on the numbers that are displaying and he found it hard to walk or even move. coming forward with symptoms. my slowly, he s relearning those basic mobility skills. next point, and i have never ruled out a regional approaches in i get involved in community issues, scotla nd out a regional approaches in scotland if that proves necessary and i need to be able and certainly as we gather data and to stand up and talk. monitor the impact of this virus in and i can t do that at the moment, the weeks and months to come, it is but i hope when i get out of here, really important we do that that with the help regionally as well as nationally. of these lovely physios, they will actually be able but we also have to recognise that people travel between different to enable me to walk. areas of scotland, and therefore we have to be mindful of people are but if i can walk with a stick, travelling between different countries and perhaps exporting or or better still without a stick, importing infections in that way, i d be happy. being away from his family and in the same way they can take it has been the worst part. i haven t seen my wife or family to different parts of the country with them, so we must be conscious orfriends since march. about this but we will continue to assess these things as carefully as that s the major impact. we can. my main message would be you miss being able to put your arms that when you hear these figures we around your loved one. are reporting right now, absolutely ta ke are reporting right now, absolutely take encourage them encouragement a lack of contact and its impact on the mind from them. i want people to be is something they re optimistic, but even in areas where very much aware of here. you might be seeing no new cases what we re offering here reported on a daily basis right now, is some psychological therapy that will help patients to adjust do not allow that to become from their long stays in hospital and also being separated complacency. the virus has not gone from their loved ones. away, it is still out there, and the we do have one patient who remembers some delirium he had. hour number estimate i have given he remembers being in bed at night, you today tells us today how easy it and he s actually quite frightened about going to bed now, could be for the virus to run out of so he seems fine during the day, control again, and that is a risk we but as night time comes along, must not take. do you want to add on his anxiety increases considerably. anything today? is certainly there they currently have four patients are encouraging signs, particularly with coronavirus and 15 without. in the numberof are encouraging signs, particularly in the number of infection cases we some are recovering from it, are seeing others need help with rehabilitation in the number of infection cases we are seeing across in the number of infection cases we are seeing across scotland, that has after suffering from falle n are seeing across scotland, that has fallen again. these are things we should continue to be optimistic other debilitating illnesses. about, but as the first minister has this hospital is a work in progress outlined, the margins are tiny. i it s expanding daily. said ona outlined, the margins are tiny. i said on a number of occasions that at the moment, it has 130 beds it doesn t take much for those cases to begin to grow again. all we need with the capacity to expand to 300. to begin to grow again. all we need to do is re establish some of those bridges of transmission more easily so just tell me about for people, and before we know it we who we are going to see now. started to see a growth in number of so peter has been in icu cases again. we are right to be cautiousjust now, for a really long time, cases again. we are right to be cautious just now, and cases again. we are right to be cautiousjust now, and i remain that and it actually started out we urge that caution for everybody with him having a fall, in terms of the way they are pursuing and making sure they are and he had an injury to his ribs social distancing, making sure they which affected his lung. continue to wash their hands, making and at some point he developed sure they are complying with all the covid, and he was in itu rules that we have in phase one as for a very long time. well, and that we do not give the so you ll see he s very deconditioned, he s lost a lot of muscle mass, virus a chance to grow and spread in he s lost his strength, the way we saw beforehand.” his endurance, balance, and all of the things virus a chance to grow and spread in the way we saw beforehand. i should have made other and other points that go with that. hello, peter, how are you? morning! how are you? there. today s our number estimate i m fine, thank you. and yourself? yes, very well, thank you. is based on their modelling that you ve lost so much weight will have taken account of the as well, haven t you? from not having any exercise. lockdown measures as they were last look. week. it does not yet taken account peter s arms and legs of the changes we made last week. that is what we are required to monitor over the next two or three are struggling to function. weeks, so for me to say that we can start making changes before we have look at the state of that! monitored the impact and understand i ve lost. . .five kilos? the impact of the changes we have which is heartbreaking, really. already made would be irresponsible i mean, you shouldn t be allowed and reckless, and that is an to lose that amount of weight. important point about the to staff are helping him to gain strength through regular exercise. understand. thank you. stv.” wonder, we are now about a week into there we go. i didn t need to do much, did i? the test and protect scheme, and i wonder if you have any updates on headley court used to belong to the ministry of defence how many people have been contacted and provided rehabilitation and traced the system, and how many to service personnel. that facility has moved have come from a care home setting? to the east midlands. i covered this in parliament yesterday, and i said then we would this year, in just a matter publish the first data from test and protect i hope next week. i hope of weeks, the nhs, local council, that would be next wednesday. but we and militaryjoined forces to create the seacole centre on the site. have to make sure that data is properly quality assured, robust and reliable, and that is the process we are going through right now, but i the scars of coronavirus on those wa nt to are going through right now, but i want to see that data published as who have had it are clear. quickly as possible and then publish as the country tries to carry regularly so that we can assess the on after the peak of the outbreak, so do those who have experienced the devastating illness. effectiveness of that system, but we nice and tall. it won t be long, and i ll be home. are not in a position to do that

news and analysis from here and across the globe. i m rebecca jones. a german prisoner has been identified as a new suspect in the disappearance of the three year old british girl madeleine mccann from a holiday resort in portugal 13 years ago. the man in his 40s is a convicted sex offender who had been living in the algarve at the time, travelling around in a camper van. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford reports. this is the vw camper van that was used by the new suspect in the madeleine mccann investigation. with its distinctive colours, police hope it will trigger someone s memory and lead to new evidence about their as yet unnamed suspect. he used the vehicle to live in and, certainly, the week preceding, he was in there living, so he would move around the area, using that van as probably his base. the suspect also used this jaguar car at the time. he registered the car into someone else s name the day after madeleine mccann disappeared. the three year old went missing on may the 3rd 2007. she d been sleeping in her parents holiday apartment while they were 50 metres away having a meal with friends. her 17th birthday was last month. on the german version of crimewatch last night, police there revealed that the suspect has previous convictions for sexually assaulting girls and is thought to have burgled hotels and holiday apartments. he s currently in prison in germany. his phone was used in praia da luz about an hour before madeleine mccann disappeared. the metropolitan police are now asking for anyone who can help with information about the mobile number he took the call on that night, the vw camper van that he was using that summer and the old jaguar xjr 6 that he registered out of his name the day after madeleine mccann disappeared. in a statement, her parents, kate and gerry mccann, seen here in 2007, said they would like to thank the police forces involved in britain, germany and portugal. they said they would never give up hope of finding madeleine alive. the german police said that theirs is a murder investigation, but madeleine mccann s parents said, whatever the outcome is, they need to know what happened, as they need to find peace. daniel sandford, bbc news at new scotla nd daniel sandford, bbc news at new scotland yard. clarence mitchell is the spokesperson for the mccann family. he told the bbc that the family hasn t given up hope of finding madeleine alive. the family are very grateful, as they have been all the way through this, to the police forces involved, to the british police, now the germans and indeed the portuguese police. they simply want to establish what happened to their daughter, to find out the truth and to bring whoever was responsible for her disappearance to justice. they have not given up hope of finding madeleine alive, despite the length of time, they ve never given up that hope, but they are realistic, and they say that whatever the outcome of this appeal and the police work, they do need to know, because they need to find peace. that was clarence mitchell. our correspondent alison roberts has the latest from the algarve in portugal. here in the algarve there are virtually no tourists because of the covid 19 pandemic, but 13 years ago when madeleine mccann was holidaying here with her family, when madeleine mccann was holidaying here with herfamily, it when madeleine mccann was holidaying here with her family, it was full of foreign visitors. it s to those people that people are now appealing for information or even photos and videos relating to a 43 year old german man who is now a suspect in the investigation. now in prison in germany for another crime, he is believed to have been in and around praia da luz in the run up to may 2007 when madeleine disappeared. police have released information about him, a description saying that he was tall with short, fair hair, and would have been in his late 20s at that time. they have also released two mobile phone numbers, both portuguese, one of which was used by the suspect. the other was used by the suspect. the other was used to call him in praia da luz about an hour before madeleine disappeared. they have also released details of two vehicles, a jaguar carand a details of two vehicles, a jaguar car and a volkswagen camper van that we re car and a volkswagen camper van that were also used by the suspect, and two properties that he used at the time near praia da luz. they say that this line is highly significant. that was alison roberts in portugal. let s talk now tojim gamble, former head of the child exploitation and online protection centre. he served as the senior child protection officer in the uk s first investigation into madeleine mccann s disappearance. we are very grateful for you to talk to the bbc, mr gamble, thank you. there have been different suspects. there have been different suspects. there have been different suspects. there have been different leads, over the last 13 years. in your view, how significant is this one? this is the first time in 13 years when i actually dare to hope myself. i think for a variety of reasons there was a bungling beginning to this investigation in portugal. i think the golden hour was lost, that is not necessarily a criticism of the portuguese police in isolation, but just a recognition the portuguese police in isolation, butjust a recognition that the portuguese police in isolation, but just a recognition that these cases are so rare but just a recognition that these cases are so rare that when they do happen, there are very few law enforcement entities with the experience to deal with them. so i was commissioned by the home secretary of the day, alanjohnson, to carry out a scoping review in 2009 to ascertain whether there were any areas that could be revisited and better investigated. and in that review, which was delivered in 2010 to the new home secretary, theresa may, there were a number of areas that were identified. the fact that cell site telephone dumps hadn t been investigated, the disparate bits of information that were being held all over the place rather than being consolidated in the way that uk policing would on a database, a computer designed to help identify key lines of inquiry. and a range of other conditions. a year later, following a prompt by the mccanns direct to the prime minister, the metropolitan police, which had been my recommendation, because they are the most experienced and i think the finest detectives in the world when it comes to this, they were then commissioned to engage with the portuguese police, and i think we have been on a positive trajectory since then with a number of false dawns, but as you say, when you take the circumstantial evidence that has been shared with us now, and put it together, this is a really significant person of interest. can you help me with something that is puzzling me. how is it that after this length of time, we are only finding out about this person now? how has he suddenly come to light?” would suggest that he probably came to light a number of years ago, in fa ct to light a number of years ago, in fact that is what i would believe. but this is a painstaking investigation. when you begin from a point of chaos, it is like taking a large jigsaw puzzle box, point of chaos, it is like taking a largejigsaw puzzle box, emptying it out on a coffee table that is too small, and bits fall off. and then you have to come back, without the plan, without the cover where you can see what the picture looks like, and start putting it all together. and so there is lots of information that will inform where we are today that will inform where we are today that we had at the very beginning, we just that we had at the very beginning, wejust didn t that we had at the very beginning, we just didn t understand the context of it and why it was important. so what you have now is you have an individual with a history of sexual offending that spans girls through to older women. extremely dangerous. he is not a preferential offender, he is someone who we know from what we are told who we know from what we are told who will offend across a range of ages. also with a history, we are told, of burglary, so fits the profile. circumsta ntially, told, of burglary, so fits the profile. circumstantially, you look at opportunity to commit the crime, and what we know from that is that he was in proximity to praia da luz, not only in the lead up to the crime, but also within an hour of it, because his telephone, his cell site analysis shows that he was there and he was on the phone to someone there and he was on the phone to someone for 30 minutes. so that is really important circumstantial evidence. and the other thing, when you look at circumstantial evidence, you look at circumstantial evidence, you look at subsequent conduct. his subsequent conduct, the day after madeleine went missing, was to change the number plate on his car. now that is, you know, that adds to the circumstantial evidence. when you start to bring all of those things together, a person who you know commits that particular type of crime, with an opportunity to engage, in the area where the crime took place and who, the day after, begins to do things that looks like they could be masking who he is and where he is. so when you take all of that and you look at the international investigation, i think it is great that the german police who i have worked within the past, are involved. they will be relentless in their pursuit. and i think the metropolitan police are rightly giving us a little bit of information, but not too much. they don t want to put words in our mouth. and this appeal couldn t come ata mouth. and this appeal couldn t come at a better time, because whilst eve ryo ne at a better time, because whilst everyone is trapped at home, they are going to be able to get their attention. and if you are watching this programme and you were in chipmunk three at that time, or another time close to it, think back now. did you see that jaguar. if you were in praia da luz at that time, might you now have that context? time, might you now have that co ntext ? if time, might you now have that context? if you are one of those people who think you might have something, then contact operation grange. sharing the information that you have is really, really important. jim gamble, we must leave it there, but really good to talk to you, thank you so much forjoining us. you, thank you so much forjoining us. thank you. president trump s former defence secretary james mattis has rebuked him over his threat to use troops to quell the protests against racial injustice in amerioa. his comments come after all four officers involved in the death of george floyd the event which started the protests were formally charged. derek chauvin, the officer who was filmed kneeling on mr floyd s neck, has had his charge elevated from third to second degree murder. under minnestota state law, first degree murder is defined as one in which the defendant has the intention to kill and usually requires some element of premeditation. second degree murder, the charges being brought here, requires an intention to kill. or in this case intention to commit a serious crime which results in death. and third degree murder would not require proof that the defendant wanted the victim to die, only that their actions were dangerous and carried out without regard to human life. our north america correspondent david willis reports. huge protests continue to grip this country in response to george floyd s death. thousands converged on downtown los angeles, and after violence here over the weekend, this time their call for change was peaceful. night time cu rfews remain in place here, as well as in new york and washington dc. in minneapolis, where all this began, anger gave way to cheers at the news that former police officer derek chauvin is to face a more serious murder charge. let me hear y all say we got all four! we got all four! and at the news that the three other officers involved in mr floyd s death have now been arrested. they stand accused of aiding and abetting his murder. president trump s often bellicose response to the recent unrest here has unnerved even some in his own party. and now his former defence secretary james mattis is voicing concern. in a withering critique in the atlantic magazine, mr mattis accuses the president of an abuse of power and writes. donald trump responded promptly. i see limitless potential that deserves to flourish and thrive. you should be able to learn and make mistakes and live a life ofjoy. america s first black president struck a starkly different and more optimistic tone to that of president trump in a virtual town hall event. as tragic as these past few weeks have been, as difficult and scary and uncertain as they ve been, they ve also been an incredible opportunity for people to be awakened. right now, i think the nation needs law and order, because you have a bad group of people out there and they are using george floyd and they are using a lot of other people to try and do some bad things and what we do. we have it totally under control. george floyd s family and friends are due together in minneapolis on thursday for a memorial service in his honour. the calls for a radical reform of race relations in this country are growing. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. meghan markle has spoken out following the protests over the death of george floyd. in a video message, speaking to the graduating class of her former high school, she said she felt compelled to address what s happening in america. the only wrong thing to say is to say nothing, because. ..george floyd s life mattered and breonna taylor s life mattered and philando castile s life mattered and tamir rice s life mattered. and so did so many other people whose names we know and whose names we do not know. stephon clark, his life mattered. and i was thinking about this moment when i was a sophomore in high school. i was 15 and, as you know, sophomore year is the year that we do volunteer work, which is a prerequisite for graduating. and i remember my teacher at the time, one of my teachers, said to me before i was leaving before a day of volunteering, always remember to put others needs above your own fears. the headlines on bbc news. a german sex offender has been identified as a prime suspect in the disappearance of the british girl madeleine mccann from a holiday resort in portugal 13 years ago. president trump s former defence secretary, james mattis, has launched a stinging attack on him over his threat to use troops to end the protests sweeping the united states. the duchess of sussex speaks of her own experience of racism in the wake of the killing of george floyd in minneapolis. the uk will host the global vaccine summit which will get under way today, where more than fifty countries and donor organisations to play their full part in what s being called the most essential shared endeavour of our lifetimes . the aim is to raise £6 billion to immunise hundreds of millions of children against deadly diseases. the video conference is being hosted by borisjohnson, who will call for a new era of global health co operation . the uk government will also hold a videoconference with aviation industry officials, to discuss its coronavirus quarantine plan. south america continues to be the current epicentre of the outbreak. brazil suffered a record number of daily deaths with more than 1,300 people dying from the virus. and research in the uk found that more than half the population struggled with sleep during the lockdown. 40% of people also reported having more vivid dreams. joining me now from westminster is our assistant political editor, norman smith. if we could start with this global vaccine summit chaired by the prime minister. tell us a little more about what the uk government is hoping to achieve. i think there is an acceptance that so much of the world s attention and scientific effort is now focused on coronavirus, vaccines for other diseases such as diphtheria, polio, measles, have taken something of a back seat, and people have been, particularly in the developing world, perhaps more reluctant to get vaccinated for those diseases because of an understandable fear about going into hospitals and health centres, and at the same time, hospitals have beenjust so overwhelmed by coronavirus, they ve had less resources to put aside to ensure people are still getting vaccinated. as a result, there is a risk of these diseases beginning to gaina risk of these diseases beginning to gain a foothold again, and lives being put at risk because so much attention has been focused on coronavirus. so it is an attempt, as it were, to the international community in terms of medical effort, in terms of money, in terms of political attention, on the much broader agenda in terms of ensuring vaccination against some of these long standing diseases, and not to be totally as it were overwhelmed by the threat from coronavirus. the spread of the virus within the communities here in the uk is much lower than it was, it has gotten to a lower level and we want to see that continue to be low and that is why this is the right time to bring this in, because, as patrick vallance was outlining, when you have higher community transmission rates, the difference somebody coming into the country can make is much more marginal and much more negligible. as our rates are much more lower and moving lower and lower, hopefully, as we go forward, it has a much bigger impact, that is why we are bringing this in. cabinet office minister brandon lewis responding to one other side of this this morning, which is moved here in the uk to introduce quarantine controls for people coming into the uk, or uk citizens coming into the uk, or uk citizens coming back into britain, forcing people to self isolate for 1h days, which has prompted huge controversy in britain amid fears it will cripple the aviation industry and the tourism sector, and a major revolt amongst tory mps who are questioning why this policy is being introduced now when it wasn t introduced now when it wasn t introduced when the pandemic was at its height, which has prompted the government to concede that they will review that policy in three weeks time. but there is massive pressure from senior tories, including the former prime minister, theresa may, former prime minister, theresa may, for a much swifter rethink. norman, good to talk to you, many thanks. as norman was saying there, millions of babies are missing out on life saving vaccines is the coronavirus pandemic disrupts immunisation campaigns around the world. the united nation s children s agency unicef has warned that it could lead to thousands of children dying every day from diseases that had largely been brought under control. our global heath correspondent tulip mazumdar reports. new mums trying to do the best for their young babies in the midst of a pandemic. this clinic in niger s capital, niamey, is usually packed, but restrictions on movement, a shortage of healthcare workers, and the fear of catching covid 19 have kept many families away. this health worker says far fewer women have been coming to get their babies vaccinated since the pandemic, and children are now at greater risk of other killer diseases like measles. many countries were advised by health officials to suspend vaccination campaigns to avoid the spread of coronavirus, but now there s a stark warning about the longer term impact of this disruption. measles is on the rise, diphtheria, cholera, so all of these issues are going to be a real problem. as a world, we had conquered in this past century many of these preventable diseases for children. so we made great gains on childhood survival. what is now threatened is all of those gains in the last 30 years, that we will wipe them away because children are not getting immunisations. the pandemic is disrupting life saving vaccination campaigns on a global scale. in south east asia, it s estimated more than 3a million babies missed out on their routine vaccinations. both nepal and cambodia are reporting significant measles outbreaks. in africa, it is estimated 23 million babies missed out on their routine vaccinations. ethiopia, for example, is currently fighting measles, cholera, and yellow fever outbreaks. recent research suggests disruption to these types of crucial services could result in the additional deaths of more than 6,000 children every day. medical staff around the world are working tirelessly to try and ensure those devastating numbers do not come to pass. here in bangladesh, vaccination clinics are reopening under a new normal. when you have a big effect on vaccines like this, it takes some time to rebuild some of the systems around them. it s going to be important to make sure we can continue to deliver routine vaccinations, but also as we rapidly move towards having covid vaccines available, these are the same systems we re going to use to be able to deliver those, as well to look for further outbreaks. despite the challenges, the work continues. these medics are going door to door here in colombia, as world leaders meet virtually for the global vaccine summit, hosted by the uk, to ensure these life saving campaigns can continue. tulip mazumdar, bbc news. we can speak now to dr muhammad munir, a virologist at lancaster university. we are grateful for your time, we are gratefulfor your time, and i wa nt to we are gratefulfor your time, and i want to come onto the work you are doing at the moment. butjust to begin speaking a little more broadly about this vaccine summit that the uk is hosting today. how important is that, and how confident are you that it could make a difference? thank you very much for having me on the show. i think it is really important to understand that while we are waiting for covid 19 vaccine, we are waiting for covid 19 vaccine, we should not forget the importance of the vaccines that we already have, and that is absolutely important that those vaccines are deployed in the field to immunise the children of the future. and this has become even more important because of the covid 19 disruption onto the current vaccine campaigns, and according to a current estimation, 80 million children could be without up to date vaccinations. this summer that is being held here in the uk this summit that is being held here in the uk is a critical step towards ensuring that these vaccines are ongoing, and if not, the infrastructure should be put in place so that there is no interruption until 2025. place so that there is no interruption until2025. you place so that there is no interruption until 2025. you talk about the covid 19 vaccine. i know you are leading a team at lancaster university developing a vaccine. how close are we to having a vaccine? at the moment i would like to emphasise that the speed we are developing the vaccine for covid 19 is unprecedented, never been seen before. at this moment, there are five or six vaccine trials running into phase two and phase three. we are into phase two and phase three. we a re close into phase two and phase three. we are close to the place where we will be able to demonstrate that these are safe and efficacious and could be deployed in the field very quickly. but again, there are a few challenges that really need to be considered before we can proceed, for instance the vaccines that are being used here in the uk, one of the major challenges is that the phase three trial requires a density of the disease in the population which is really going down, which means that the target to require demonstration that the vaccine is safe will take longer, so there are factors that challenging at the moment which need to be considered. but certainly the speed is incredible. so are you basically saying that we have got a handful of vaccines that are already in clinical trials, and then several dozen that are like yours, which are in what are described as preclinical trials? and it is really a sense now of trying to work out which one might work? is that broadly speaking the case? absolutely. the important thing here is to emphasise that many vaccines that are developed fail a clinical trial, so we should not count on one or two vaccines. the number of vaccines that are currently in the world health organization exceed 100 in number. the majority of them use different approaches. understood. if and when approaches. understood. if and when a vaccine is finally developed, there is concern as to who will have access to it. concern that wealthier parts of the world will have access to it and not poorer parts. do you share that concern? yes, absolutely. i think this is a critical time to really collate the global concerns and establish bold international laws of how the vaccine would be distributed in the world once it becomes available. and this is certainly important for certain perspectives, especially when it comes to who will need it most in the beginning or at the end. the summit today, they will allocate some proportion of the funds especially for low and middle income areas so especially for low and middle income areas so that once the vaccine becomes available, it can be manufactured at a cost that is affordable in those countries and can be deployed. because ultimately what we wanted to see is that unless eve ryo ne what we wanted to see is that unless everyone is safe, no one is safe. 0k, dr everyone is safe, no one is safe. ok, dr muhammad munir, we must leave it there, but do keep us posted as to how your tests go with your vaccine, and we will talk to you again on bbc news. many thanks. the prince of wales has said he got away with it quite lightly when he contracted coronavirus at the beginning of the uk s epidemic in march. prince charles said he self isolated after testing positive for the virus and only experienced mild symptoms. he also used the interview with sky news to highlight his concerns over the environment. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell has more. he has been campaigning on the environment for more than a0 years, and he believes as the world emerges from the coronavirus pandemic, there will be as he puts it a golden opportunity to build something better. he calls it the great reset, and the fact that he too experience the virus has sharpened his resolve. it makes me more determined to push and shove and shout and prod, if you see what i whatever i can do, behind the scenes sometimes, but yes, i mean, isuppose it did partly. i mean, i was lucky in my case and got away with it quite likely. but i ve had it, and i can so i understand what other people have gone through. the prince expressed his deep sympathy for what so many families had to endure. but as we recover from the pandemic, he hoped people would see that the planet and its damaged environment should be treated as the patient. so no self respecting doctor would ever have let the situation, if the planet is a patient, reach this stage before making an intervention. hence, you know, the precautionary principle, which seems to me absolutely essential. it was time, the prince said, to put nature back at the centre of our collective concerns. nicholas witchell, bbc news. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines. a major new development in the case of the british girl madeleine mccann who disappeared in portugal. a convicted german sex offender is the prime suspect in the international investigation. police believe he was travelling in the area in this camper van at the time madeleine vanished, 13 years ago. president trump s former defence secretary, james mattis, launches a stinging attack over his threat to use troops to end the protests sweeping the united states. the duchess of sussex speaks of her own experience of racism in the wake of the killing of george floyd in minneapolis. the only wrong thing to say is to say nothing, because. ..george floyd s life mattered. the uk s prime minister is to call for a new era of global health co operation when he hosts a vaccine summit in london. and prince charles talks about being affected by coronavirus, saying he got away lightly . let s return now the developments in the investigation into the disappearance of the british girl madeleine mccann who went missing 13 years ago. it was back in may 2007 when the three year old vanished during a family holiday in the algarve. she was sleeping in the apartment while her parents kate and gerry ate with friends in a nearby restaurant. the portuguese police launched an investigation but byjuly 2008, it was called to a halt with no official suspects. david cameron picked up the cause after he became uk prime minister, and by 2013, the british met police was ready to launch its own investigation. operation grange as it was named was slow and painstaking work, which has cost close to £12 million, but last year the uk government agreed to extend funding. last night saw the biggest development yet, as detectives appealed for information about a german sex offender, currently in jail for an unrelated offence, who was in the area when madeleine went missing. clarence mitchell is the spokesperson for the mccann family. he told the bbc that the family hasn t given up hope of finding madeleine alive. the family are very grateful, as they have been all the way through this, to the police forces involved, not least the british police but now the germans and indeed the portuguese police. they won t be doing any interviews, they would much rather the focus remains on the investigation and the appeal the police have just made overnight. but, as i say, they are grateful and they welcome this appeal. they simply want to establish what happened to their daughter, to find out the truth, and to bring whoever was responsible for her disappearance to justice. they have not given up hope of finding madeleine alive, despite the length of time, they ve never given up that hope, but they are realistic, and they say that whatever the outcome of this appeal and the police work, they do need to know, because they need to find peace. in more than 13 years, i can t recall an instance where the police have been so specific about an individual. granted, yes, he s not been named, but nevertheless they are looking for specific details about his movements at the time of madeleine s disappearance, his vehicle usage, what he did with those vehicles afterwards, and indeed down to the level of mobile phone usage on the day and night in question. now, of all the thousands of leads and potential suspects that have been mentioned in the past or discussed in the media, there has never been something as clear cut as that from notjust one but indeed now three police forces. so it does appear to be significant, but the police, you know, they may still have reason to rule this man out at some stage, but it certainly appears that he, and the police said this themselves, they are treating him as their prime suspect for now. this is the scene in germany which is where, in the next 25 minutes or so, around midday uk time, we are expecting an update from the german police. the police of course have identified a german prisoner as the new suspect in the disappearance of madeleine mccann. we know they have already said he is in his a05. he is already said he is in his a05. he is a convicted sex offender for an unrelated case, but he had been living in the algarve at the time, travelling around in a camper van at the time that madeleine mccann disappeared. so this is seen in germany, which we will return to for an update on that police investigation. demonstrations have taken place around the world, in solidarity with the black lives matter prote5t5 in the us. rich pre5ton has been looking at the global picture over the last 2a hours. thousands gathered in london s hyde park on wednesday to show their support for the black lives matter movement, and calling forjustice for george floyd. ..before marching towards westminster. ..and gathering outside the houses of parliament. it was an image mirrored across europe. here, in finland, where thousands chanted george floyd s last words. all chant: i can t breathe! ..and sending their message to the us. the way that everyone showed up today, and especially in an homogenous, white country such a5 finland, it s sending a big message that many more people than just black people are tired. protester5 in denmark took to one knee a5 a symbol of support, condemning racism and calling forjustice to be done. in central germany, protester5 in frankfurt decrying racism of all kinds. translation: the difference is that, there, it was recorded but it does not mean it does not happen here and it is not bad here and it has to stop. it is vital to stand up against it, notjust here in germany but all over the world. translation: the most we can do here is show solidarity with people over there and to go out on the streets and show them that they are not alone. crowds in the greek capital, athens, marched towards the us embassy but the demonstration turned violent. protester5 threw 5tone5 at police, who responded with tear gas. explosion. in cape town, south africa, where legalised discrimination in the form of apartheid i5, for many, within living memory, messages of unity and solidarity. i think it s really important to show some kind of support and for all of us to stand against something that we know is not right. what started out as a seemingly innocuou5 call to police in minneapolis over a week ago resulted in the death of a man, sparking an outpouring of emotion and a civil upri5ing, notjust in the city where it happened but around the world. hong kong s legislative assembly has passed a bill which would make it illegal to show disrespect to the chinese national anthem. the bill was passed with a1 in favour and one against. critic5 see this as the latest sign of beijing s tightening grip on the city. the ruling comes as people in hong kong are set to hold a candlelit vigil to commemorate the 31st anniversary of the tiananmen square crackdown, when chinese troops killed pro democracy demonstators in beijing. our correspondent, martin yip, is in victoria park in hong kong, the place where the annual vigil is usually held. martin, how is the anniversary of the crackdown going to be marked there? quite a difference scenario this year indeed. like you said, this year indeed. like you said, this would have been the place for the candlelit vigil. that would have been the station over there, this side of the camera, but as you can 5ee, side of the camera, but as you can see, it is sealed off because the government, the police have been quoting andy coronavirus rules on social distancing to ban this year s candlelit vigil, the first time since the first anniversary in 1990. ifi since the first anniversary in 1990. if i can try and show you the scenario out there, there are some people gathering around. some are actually holding candles. they are waiting because the organisers, they have promised to hold a virtual vigil in around 90 minutes time, and these people are here. some are 5itting, some are holding a candle, so 5itting, some are holding a candle, so it is quite clear theyjust want to maintain the tradition of lighting a candle at this very park, victoria park in hong kong, despite the government ban. we do not know if the police will intervene at all, because if anyone gather5 in a group larger than eight people, they would be breaching the5e larger than eight people, they would be breaching these social distancing rules that they could be subject to a fine rules that they could be subject to afine on rules that they could be subject to a fine on the spot. multiple report5 from local media saying the police would not intervene in this event, but these are from local media, and thatis but these are from local media, and that is the only the only official police line at the moment i5 official police line at the moment is to stay home and stay away from the virus. this comes after a hong kong s legislative assembly passed this bill which would make it illegal to show disrespect to the chinese national anthem. what does that mean exactly? what are the indications of that? this view is somehow pre5cribed indications of that? this view is somehow prescribed by beijing a5 well, this is legislation by the chinese government back in 2017, which would outlaw anything which would be seen as a disrespecting or even doing at the national anthem when played at a sports event, such as at football event5. when played at a sports event, such as at football events. this was something that had happened before it was made two years ago, but beijing put it into law, so it was put into the constitution and they in hong kong have no choice but to put it into legislation. how will the police actually enforce this law? what could be seen as defaming the national anthem, and i5 law? what could be seen as defaming the national anthem, and is subject to criminal prosecution? people 5ee this as one of the many crackdowns from beijing on theirfreedom of speech, and this is why some people have been protesting about it. legislators have been trying to stop this from going through. they have done this by unleashing 5tink bombs in the parliament, but then they moved into another conference room. they resumed their meeting, voted it through and called it a day. thank you very much. russia s president putin has declared a state of emergency after 20,000 tonnes of diesel fuel leaked into a river within the arctic circle in siberia. the accident occured a week ago near the siberian city of norilsk and could be the worst environmental disaster in the region. our moscow correspondent, sarah rainsford, says the scale of the accident is huge. 20,000 tonnes of fuel diesel that spilt out of this tanker at a power plant up near the city of norilsk in the russian arctic. then it crossed some 12 kilometres to reach a river, the river ambarnaya, and has been flowing down that river now for several days. the clean up operation has finally begun, and we re told that the spill itself has been contained. it s been fenced off, but the big question is what to do now? now, environmentalists are warning that this is an event of catastrophic implications for wildlife in the area, for the water systems, too. and at the moment, it seems that officials here in russia really don t know how to deal with this. it is in an extremely remote area of the russian arctic, the tundra. there are no roads to the area. the river itself is not navigable by boat. so there are big questions about what they re going to do with this fuel, which they re now pumping out of the river systems. and yesterday on state tv, there was quite an extraordinary video conference that president putin held with his ministers and with the local officials in that area, in norilsk area. and he was asking what on earth had happened, and essentially berating local officials that he said had taken two days to inform the emergencies mini5try and to inform the authorities about what had happened. so suggesting there had been some kind of attempt to cover this up for a couple of days. in fact, he said that the authorities had found out about this from social media. he was absolutely furious, and one of the newspaper headlines this morning described him as being white with rage . the headlines on bbc news. a german sex offender has been identified as a prime suspect in the disappearance of the british girl madeline mccann from a holiday resort in portugal 13 years ago. president trump s former defence secretary, james mattis, has launched a stinging attack on him, over his threat to use troops to end the protests sweeping the united states. the duchess of sussex speaks of her own experience of racism in the wake of the killing of george floyd in minneapolis. new car sales in the uk fell by 89% in may, only slightly less negative than a 97% collap5e in the previous month. the figures show that the idustry is continuing to be hit by the coronavirus lockdown. joining me now is our business presenter, ben thompson. from the sound of those figures, it i5 from the sound of those figures, it is being hit and being hit badly. ye5, you re right. normally the industry 5ales about 180,000 cars in the month of may, but last month, selling ju5t the month of may, but last month, selling just 20,000. not surprising, you might say, given car showrooms we re you might say, given car showrooms were closed as part of the lockdown. tho5e car showrooms got the go ahead to reopen on monday, so already we are getting a sense of how the industry might find the next few months. i was in a car showroom on monday, and they told me that demand online had been particularly strong. people doing click and collect to try and pick up their cars, but what we might see over the coming months i5a we might see over the coming months is a resurgence in a pent up demand from people who have not been able to swa p from people who have not been able to swap their car. and also quite a big increa5e to swap their car. and also quite a big increase in the number of people buying used cars. perhaps as public transport look5 le55 buying used cars. perhaps as public transport look5 less attractive in the wake of this lockdown, more people might be seeking to buy their own vehicle. the industry says that demand will be pretty robust, but nonetheless, it has been shut down for so long, and a5 nonetheless, it has been shut down for so long, and as the figures tell u5, for so long, and as the figures tell us, it has made a pretty tough time. a number of car makers are making job losses as a result. let s get the thoughts ofjim. he is the editorial director at what car. he joins me now, good morning. what do you make of these figures? on one hand, no surprise. car5howroom5 we re hand, no surprise. car5howroom5 were closed, people couldn t go out and buy. at the same time, the industry now trying to look at what the future is like. a few absolutely. the figures are not as a prize, this is an industry which has pretty much been paralysed by the cri5i5. pretty much been paralysed by the crisis. it is only now starting to come out of it. what is crucial was monday s decision to open dealerships in england down the line. northern ireland will open next week and hopefully the industry in scotland and wales will ease that is in. what we are seeing on our own websites and what dealers are reporting is there is this pent up demand coming through. people have been holding off on buying cars. many people at lease cars, and they have to keep updating them on a cycle, and that demand is there to be taken advantage of. the concern is longer term, will people still wa nt is longer term, will people still want a new car is? we are facing a huge economic crisis. we are starting to see the first cracks of the job losses coming through. not just in the car industry, but in the wider economy. how much will people wa nt wider economy. how much will people want new cars and will the shift in used cars commentate in that in any way? yeah, i wanted to ask you about that. quite clearly many dealers wanting to talk up their pro5pect5. they say there is a lot of demand that couldn t be serviced while the showrooms were closed. but with a looming rece55ion that is all but inevitable now if we look at these numbers, people will have less money in their pocket, and that will suggest they are less likely to go out and buy a big purchase like a car. absolutely. there are concerns. we have been pulling our own audience throughout the weeks of the crisis, and what we have seen is the intention to buy a car at longer term essentially is collapsing. some of that may be because they have seen of that may be because they have seen the light at the end of the tunnel that they will be able to buy a car in tunnel that they will be able to buy a carina tunnel that they will be able to buy a car in a nearer term, but also it is fall in confidence. as an industry, it has to to worry of what is to come, and we have to look to see what incentives it can offer and perhaps more broadly, what the government can offer as incentives to keep it moving. it is an industry that employs close to 1 million people by most estimates across retail and manufacturing. it touches all sorts of businesses across the uk, and of course it contributes nearly 15% of the net value of exports that the uk achieved every year. yes, and let s talk about what tho5e incentive5 might look like. becau5e quite clearly in some countries around the world, they are looking at ways to stimulate demand. i know germany are looking at a scrappage scheme whereby if you trade in your old car, they will not maybe don t have thousand pounds of a new one. could we see something like that here? potentially, the industry is nervous about talking about it. obviously it hasjust unlocked this pent up demand and doesn t want to see people waiting. it is trying to encourage people to ta ke it is trying to encourage people to take advantage of the offer is there. the importance of the industry to the wider economy means that it should be front of mind for some consideration and incentives. i think those incentives will focus on environmental responsibility. they will be trying to take older, more polluting cars off the road and getting more environmentally friendly ones on it. but it does have a weight in mind. there is a period before it had any hope of getting those incentives, but there is an initiative launched across europe by other countries as you say, and it will be one that will be looked at closely by the industry and by government, i m sure. yes, absolutely. good to talk to you, as always. jim holder, executive director at what car. rebecca, it really puts into focus when we have heard the numbers this morning from aston martin. they say they are going to cut 500 jobs. they say they wa nt to going to cut 500 jobs. they say they want to reduce the number of people employed there because they are reducing their production and they call it a fundamental reset of their business. elsewhere, the car showroom chain say they are going to cut 1500 jobs, closed 12 of their sites, because so many concerns about whether they will have the money in their pocket to go out and upgrade the car. change the car of the next few months, so a lot of big questions for the industry, and at the moment, very few answers. the latest set of figures suggesting a 90% fall in a new car registrations last month. as those dealerships stay closed. thank you. sobering figures, as you say. the uk s bafta television awards have just been announced, and a powerful drama about the chernobyl nuclear power station disaster looks like it could be in for a successful night. the sky atlantic and hbo series, called chernobyl, was nominated for nine awards including best leading actorforjared harris. it was not shortlisted for best drama that will go to either the crown, gentleman jack, giri/haji or the end of the world. our entertainment correspondent colin patersonjoins us now to run through some of the nominations. chernobyl, i thought it was fantastic. i don t know if i m allowed to express an opinion. it is well deserved to have received this number of nominations.” well deserved to have received this number of nominations. i thought it was absolutely wonderful bit of tv. from such an unlikely team. when you think it was created by a man called craig madden who previously was best known for writing the hangover part two and three. knock about comedy. the director is a guy who used to be a swedish pop star in the 905. he went by the name stackable, but together they created a wonderful drama about the 1986 nuclear disaster in the soviet union. it is nominated in miniseries, that is the category it was eligible for. jared harris from mad men, many people know, was nominated for best actor. that was one of the big ones to have done well today. also the crown. series three of the ground nominated for seven baftas, and strangely absolutely nothing for olivia colman as her role in queen elizabeth ii, and she is normally a realfavourite of the baftas. joss o connor was nominated for his role, helena bonham carterfor nominated for his role, helena bonham carter for playing nominated for his role, helena bonham carterfor playing princess margaret. lots of familiar names in the list. people like phoebe waller bridge, glenda jackson, i noticed she must be one of the oldest nominees. a lot of first time nominees. a lot of first time nominees as well. there was a real spread. absolutely, more than half an acting nominees are first time nominees. the likes likes of the start from the bbc two detective drama that was on towards the end of last year, giri/haji. doubt it has done really well. you mentioned glenda jackson, not the oldest person ever. with that she might have been, 8a years old she has been nominated for her first tv role for almost 30 years, but not quite as old as. when she was nominated for the age of 89. i can always rely on you for getting the stats right. what is the ceremony going to look at? is it going to look like you in your living room? very different, we think it is going to be a feature, and richard iowa eddie who won a bafta for the it crowd a couple of yea rs bafta for the it crowd a couple of years ago. it will be held on the 315t years ago. it will be held on the 31st ofjuly and winners will be giving their acceptance speeches remotely from their living rooms. we are going to see perhaps what glenda jackson s living room looks like if she wins best actress, so a very different kind of ceremony. they we re different kind of ceremony. they were originally supposed to be held in may but were delayed because of covid 19. one very interesting nominee, i think we should point out, is the interview of emily made lists with prince andrew, and that was nominated. interestingly, prince william s nephew is president of bafta. good to talk to you, many thanks. you are watching bbc news. now it s time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. hello. the second half of the week, much different to how we started this week, some of the biggest temperature changes, at least in the last a8 hours, have been in north yorkshire. 2a degrees on tuesday afternoon, just ten celsius on wednesday afternoon, felt like a completely different change of seasons. and that cooler story continues through into the weekend. some rain at times, can t be guaranteed for every garden and all will turn windier. not too breezy out there, though, today. there ll be plenty of cloud around, showers across scotland, northern ireland, northern england push a bit further southwards. but still many in the south will stay largely dry. the showers in northern england and southeast scotland could be heavier through the afternoon, and it could start feel even colder across the north and north east as those northerly winds pick up. not too bad in the sunnier moments in the south, 18 or 19 the high. but overnight, there will still be some showers around. clearer skies, too. but in the north of scotland, where the winds are lighter in southern scotland, northern england and the skies clear this will be coolest of all, temperatures just a few degrees above freezing, most well and truly still frost free. then into friday, sunshine and showers for england, wales and northern ireland. some showers could become heavy and thundery at times. but as we start the day with showers in scotland, northern half of scotland, we replace those showers with some longer spells of heavier rain as we go into friday afternoon, northeast scotland could be some minorflooding too. and temperatures only nine or ten degrees. maybe even a bit of snow on the hills. and it will be feeling much colder than that given the strength of the wind, particularly northern half the country we will see some widespread gales develop as we go through friday and into friday night. all linked to this area of low pressure which is developing to the east of us over the next few days, pushing another bit further southwards. so it s the north and the west where some of the strongest of the winds will be, biggest chance of travel disruption across the northern half of the uk, as you see winds maybe top 60 miles an hour in places. but across the board, a windy day on saturday, bright compared to friday in northern scotland, cloudy for most, outbreaks of rain, although again, if you re after rain in the south, no guarantee of that. but a cold day compared to the high 205 we saw last week, just 12 1a degrees, probably warmest western scotland with a bit of sunshine and shelter, as it will be on sunday. western areas always brightest on sunday. the winds ease down relative to saturday. greatest chance of rain, central and eastern parts of england. that s how it s looking, see you soon. 01:59:20,503 > 2147483052:36:24,966 and the fact that he too experience 2147483052:36:24,966 > 4294966103:13:29,430 the virus has sharpened his resolve.
this is bbc news. the headlines: brazil has now recorded the second highest number of deaths from covid 19 of any country. president jair bolsonaro has consistently downplayed the severity of the crisis. some densely populated cities have begun lifting restrictions, even though many brazilians fear the worst of the epidemic is yet to come. there are growing fears in several countries of a possible second wave of covid 19 infections. beijing has shut down six wholesale food markets after new cases were reported for a second day running. india, which opened up this week, has seen record daily increases in cases. britain s central bank says that it is ready to take action to help the country s economy to recover after official figures showed that output shrank by a record 20% in april. the effect of the anti virus lockdown is already far bigger than that of the 2008 global financial crisis. you re up to date with the headlines. now on bbc news, it s time for click. this week: going out without getting too close. dressing lara without going to the shops. and cheering on your team without going to the match. welcome, welcome, come on in. welcome to click. lara s here as well. welcome, how are you doing, my friend? i m good, thanks, although i had a bit of an incident filming and i m covered in glitter, so anyone with a good tv set may be able to see that, and you will find out why later. but anyway, how are you, spencer? i am fine, thanks. this week, i ve been trying out some stuff that might help you if you are sat around the house using a phone or tablet or laptop more than usual. there is a lot of that going on at the moment, if you hadn t noticed. so, if you are using a phone or tablet and you are sick of holding it up all the time, i am trying this. it is called the slick pillow stand. it is a thick bit of rubber, and you slot your device in there, like that, and then you strap it around a pillow or cushion, so you can rest it on your lap like that. you can even pop it into bed, lie next to it and check your work emails late at night, if that s your thing. if you re using a laptop on a dining table or on your lap or in bed, you will know that that is terrible for your back or your neck. so i finally got around to getting myself one of these, it s an adjustable laptop stand, plenty of them on the market. you can see that the legs adjust in all different ways so you can pop it on your lap, and you can adjust the height so the keyboard, screen and camera are at the right height. this comes with a usb powered fan to keep things cool, as well. and if you happen to be working from a really strange place, like your sofa, and you need a completely adjustable work surface, it turns out i have the perfect solution. it is called the ironin board, and i have it here. would you like to see it? yeah, i d love to! 0k, right, so ready? here we go, it s the ironin board. as you can see, it goes all the way up and all the way down. brilliant, perfect. it also comes with this thing, i don t know what it is, but the processor runs incredibly hot. well, you ve certainly been resourceful at home, but in the outside world, non essential retail is due to open next week, and spencer, i can t believe i m talking to you seriously right now. but would you really want to go clothes shopping? you know i hate clothes shopping at the best of times. yes, that is a very good point, and i think for most people, it s probably not going to be a priority right now. but of course, the economy is weeping, so are we going to get the high street back in fashion? technology can t replace everything, but it s been doing a decentjob of filling the gap over the past months. go instore has been working with a number of shops, using live video streaming to show products. its live video chat allows customers to connect within saw staff over the web. in fact when currys pc world, a uk based technology retailer first began using it in april, it realised it could bring back some of its furloughed staff and allow them to work from home. but now they are starting to come back in store. a lot of the customers are loving this, especially, as i said earlier, people who are feeling vulnerable. people who are homeschooling their kids, especially, they re all very grateful. and being able to speak to a person, rather than just browsing on the internet and looking for answers on 20 different websites, they can come down to the currys pc world website and click on the icon and get advice from the person either in store or from their home. an innovative remote solution, and it brings a new element to online shopping, especially for those who might be isolating longer. but, when it comes to clothes shopping, buying online does have limitations. over the years on click, we ve looked at some attempted solutions to getting the sizing right. i tried to get measured up by the zozo suit and some smart leggings, both connecting to smartphone apps to take readings. and spencer tried out some different looks in this smart mirror. but maybe now is the moment for some of these kinds of ideas. 0ne platform has taken things to a whole new level making you, the customer, the model. ai powered app zeekit aims to give you a really true to life virtual experience of trying on clothes. now it does this by first of all photographing you, you do really have to follow the instructions. and that involved this rather embarrassing attire, a combination of shorts, a tank top and my best shoes. first i have put on heels in three months. otherwise the picture may not upload very well. i had some difficulty with pictures of my own that i thought would work. so once i got the picture uploaded, and i did feel i was dressed like a 16 year old, it is really quite incredible because it offered something that no store does. i m flicking through the catalogue and i am seeing every single outfit on me, so it means you can actually pick out the things that suit you, rather than just items that catch your eye. how does it do it? its algorithm uses deep learning to scan the picture of the clothing, dividing it into 80,000 segments. it then does the same to the picture of the person, and from there can match up the twoto fit the clothes to any unique body shape. something that has always been a big problem for online retailers is the issue of so many returns. and right now, that can involve the quarantining of clothes, as well. plus, for the customer, do you really want to be spending a long time in a socially distanced post office queue? some of these outfits definitely look more ridiculous than others, of course there is only any point in any of this if what we are looking at here is actually true to life. so i need to order something to see if it looks the same in the flesh. i m going to go for this dress. it looks nice there, looks 0k. so i m now going to tap through to buy it. ok, the parcel is here. let s do this. it doesn t feel great, admittedly. let s see how it looks. tada! ok, i am actually pretty amazed by how much this looks like the virtual image. let me just stand in the right position. so if we get a photo of that, put in a white background and match it up, then we can really see the true likeness, and i think that is quite astonishing. the only thing that i hadn t bargained for is that there s glitter absolutely everywhere. so i may have got a great idea in advance of how it s going to look, but it s not until you get your hands on something you can really tell the quality. although, in fairness to this, it is a £20 dress. the inspiration came actually from a very different world, from military lidar technologies we used to develop mapping technologies, so you could actually see how maps look on topographies like intelligence maps look on topographies, and when we developed those technologies, we actually had a kind of eureka moment that actually the human body is a bit like a topography, and any clothing item s picture, we can look at it as if it was an intelligence map, and apply more or less the same technologies, and use that to solve the holy grail of online fashion. so, while many of us are starting to be able to go back to the high street, it seems coronavirus could have dramatically changed the way we shop long term. we think high streets will persist, but we are under no illusion that the number of retail units will probably decrease. so there s forecasts that said by 2025, we would lose 25% of retail stock. we think that might have been accelerated, and we re looking at a 1 2 year rise, instead of a five year one. so perhaps the new reality is that our ever improving online shopping experience is increasingly at odds with the idea of getting back to the buzzing high street. i tell you what, after years of trying these sorts of things that claim to show you what clothes will look like on you, this one does seem to work. i mean, that virtual you in the dress really did look like real you in the real dress. yeah, i was actually pretty impressed. i tell you what, though, i am a real stickler for clothes being comfortable when they re on, and i don t think an app will be able to ever tell you that. true, i m not sure that it s my first priority although i don t want things to be too tight around the stomach because i want to be able to eat. but also the feel of the fabric, you do sometimes want to really touch it. yeah, absolutely, absolutely. so last week we talked about the next generation of the xbox video games console. playstation were due to launch the ps5 last week too, but they delayed. one week later, and marc cieslak has some information. after months of hype and feverish online speculation, the most popular video games console in the world, the playstation 4, is about to be replaced with, you guessed it, the playstation 5. there s a lot of hype around this playstation event, because playstation‘s next generation console is so shrouded in mystery. it is the followup to one of the biggest selling consoles all time, and yet it s coming out at the end of this year, and we still don t know what it looks like or what games we re going to be able to play on it. sony has been able to sell 104 million playstation as, making it the second best selling console of all time beaten only by its older sibling, the playstation 2, with 150 million consoles shifted. so its next machine has big shoes to fill, but right now, gaming is having something of a moment. as a result of the covid i9 pandemic and lockdown, millions of people have found themselves at home looking for ways to entertain themselves. playing videogames is one of those ways. gaming has proved so popular that there has been a 48% increase in console sales. today s reveal for the playstation 5 differs from the usual noisy affair attended by thousands of members of the press, becoming an online only event. finally allowing us to see the actual ps5 itself. a curvy console that will come in two flavours. a standard machine with an ultra hd blu ray drive, and a digital edition which lacks the drive. of course, sony showcased fan favourite games like spider man, this time around an expansion of the 2018 title, now starring miles morales. and we got a taste of racing game gran turismo 7, which now features a story mode, and more third person adventuring with mechanised animals in a far future usa in a new horizon title, forbidden west. the latest ratchet & clank game showed off the speed of the ps5‘s solid state drive, virtually eliminating load times, creating vast play areas that do away with programming tricks like ledges and narrow gaps that the player must squeeze through. these are clever ways of allowing the console to load the next area without the player noticing. the ssd is so fast here, it does away with that programming sleight of hand. but surely there is more to this next generation then shiny visuals and load times. i think this next generation isn t just about better graphics, it is about your experience at a gamer. they re trying to remove some of the barriers between the point where you want to play a game on the point where you re playing the game. cutting down loading time, cutting down the time it takes for the game to download if you re going to do digitally, the time it takes for the updates to install. all of that is being torn away, so you have access to a game within seconds of wanting to play it. the console wars of old are set to continue, as the rival xbox series x machine is also scheduled to launch this year as well. both machines will be backwards compatible, being able to play games designed for the previous generation hardware, the xbox one and ps4. but sony and microsoft have so far remained tightlipped about how much either of these consoles will cost, a factor which will become increasingly important in an uncertain economic environment. and, while gaming is popular right now, some people might choose to stick with the console they already have. consumers will be able to make up their own minds which machine they prefer when both consoles arrive towards the end of this year. hello and welcome to the week in tech. it was the week that a google maps added a new covid i9 alert feature in selected countries including the uk and us, to help people plan trips around restrictions. fastbrick robotics robot hadrian x was shown breaking its own speed record for laying bricks. up to 200 per hour. and aesthetics company nextmotion announced it is developing what it says is the world s first aesthetic injection robot to operate independently to provide treatments. it was also the week that ibm announced it would no longer offer, develop or research general face recognition technology. in a letter to us congress the company said it firmly opposes use of any technology for mass surveillance of racial profiling. amazon then put a one year ban on the use of its recognition product by the police, and microsoft said it would not sell its facial recognition tech to the police until federal regulations were in place. remote doctor app babylon health acknowledged it suffered a data breach after after one of its users found they had access to dozens of video recordings of other patients‘ consultations. babylon said it has now fixed the issue and notified regulators. retailer gap has bought 73 warehouse robots to help with demand created by online orders. these sort picking robots can pick 335 pieces per hour. and finally this week, we saw a new cable driven robot that can be used to interact with and track flying insects.

teams will be able to make five substitutions in a game as clubs approve new rules ahead of the planned restart later this month. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. the disappearance of madeleine mccann has been one of the longest running mysteries of recent times. 13 years after she vanished, german prosecutors today said they believe that madeleine mccann is dead. a 43 year old german has been identified as a murder suspect. known only as christian b, he s currently in prison for sex offences. he was living in portugal and was thought to be near the resort of praia de luz in the summer of 2007, which was when the three year old disappeared while holidaying with her family. our correspondentjenny hilljoins us from the city of braunschweig, in north eastern germany. yes, it s a case which has baffled detectives for years. there have been searches and supposed sightings all over the world. right now, the focus is on this german city were today, prosecutors said they have a suspect, a man who lived right here in braunschweig, but who also spent a considerable amount of time in portugal. it has been described as a significant development. they have looked everywhere for madeleine mccann. it is 13 years since she went missing during a family holiday in praia da luz. her family holiday in praia da luz. her family have never given up hope that they would find her. but today, investigators in germany announced that they had opened a murder inquiry. they believe a german man killed madeleine mccann. translation: we are assuming the girl is dead, and the suspect, we are talking about a multiple sexual predator who has already been convicted of crimes against little girls and is serving a long sentence. the suspect has been named, though not officially, as christian b. his full surname has been withheld in line with german privacy law. in 1995 he left germany for portugal, where he lived until 2007. for some of that time, use the house between lagos and praia da luz. police say he was in the result and made a call from his mobile on the night madeleine mccann disappeared. he is now serving time ina german disappeared. he is now serving time in a german prison for drugs offences and what police describe as a sex crime. that report suggests was the rate of 72 year old american woman attacked in praia da luz two yea rs before woman attacked in praia da luz two years before madeleine s disappearance. so what you have now is an individual with a history of sexual offending that spans girls through to older women, extremely dangerous. he is not a preferential offender, he is someone who will offender, he is someone who will offend across a range of ages, also with a history, we are told, of burglary. so he fits the profile. the man is believed to have driven around the algarve in his camper van. police have released the picture, as well as that of the man sj picture, as well as that of the man s jaguar, in the hope that someone, man s jaguar, in the hope that someone, somewhere, will remember something. they are also focusing on two houses. he is known to have spent time in both of them. one is close to a site which attracted the interest of detectives six years ago. they scoured this area of wasteland in 2014. it is just inland from praia da luz. there have been so from praia da luz. there have been so many from praia da luz. there have been so many searches, so many from praia da luz. there have been so many searches, so many sightings, so so many searches, so many sightings, so much disappointment. for madeleine s family, the weight, they hope, the longing, unimaginable. madeleine s family, the weight, they hope, the longing, unimaginablem all the thousands of leads and potential suspects that have been mentioned in the past or discussed in the media, there has never been something as clear cut as that from not just something as clear cut as that from notjust one, something as clear cut as that from not just one, now something as clear cut as that from notjust one, now three police forces. so it does appear to be significant. still, so many questions, so much anguish. jenny hill, bbc news, braunschweig. 0ur europe correspondent gavin lee joins us from praia da luz in portugal. you have been talking to people over there today. what are they saying? there are no police on the streets of praia da luz today and no visible sign ofany of praia da luz today and no visible sign of any appeal. we understand portuguese police say they are supporting their german counterparts, but they say their focus now is to attract the attention of thousands of tourists who came here in may 2007 who may by chance have ta ken who came here in may 2007 who may by chance have taken photos or video footage with the suspect in the background, or video of the vehicles he was driving, including a jaguar carand he was driving, including a jaguar car and this camper than he was living out of from 1995 to 2007. this building behind me in the background, which is half hidden by palm trees and bamboo, is a site where a local media report said was used as storage for drug dealings which was frequented by the suspect, christian b, and one of two sites that the police are trying to appeal for more detail about. the pattern of living that we get during these 12 years is one of criminality that largely went under the radar. we don t know for certain whether police in portugal knew of his background and convictions for child sex offences. but german police have been working quietly on this case for a number of years. been working quietly on this case fora number of years. it been working quietly on this case for a number of years. it is clear at this point that they don t believe they have enough information and they need the public to try to work out if they have clear evidence on this man. gavin lee, thank you. from june 15th, face coverings will be made compulsory for anyone using public transport in england. if you don t wear a mask or something to cover your face you won t be allowed to travel and you could be fined. the government says people should start wearing them now, but the rules will be enforced from the week after next. here s our transport correspondent tom burridge. please remember to use a face covering while travelling on tfl services. it is advice now. it will be an order soon. covering your face is to become compulsory on public transport in england. the move is popularfor transport in england. the move is popular for those travelling around in warrington this afternoon. you don t want to catch anything or be ill. you don t want anyone in your family to get anything. so i think it isa family to get anything. so i think it is a great idea. you are in a closed space on a bus or on a train oi closed space on a bus or on a train or anywhere like that. so i think it probably should be compulsory. throughout the pandemic, most services have been pretty empty. but at certain times in certain places, social distancing hasn t been possible as restrictions to control the virus ease, scenes like this could become more common. major stations now have crowd control measures in place as a precaution. they are, for now at least, still generally deserted. but they expect more people to be travelling to work oi’ more people to be travelling to work or school in the coming weeks. so when it gets busier, you will have to cover up. enforcing the measure could be tricky. is it possible that people will be fined if they do not cover their face people will be fined if they do not cover theirface on people will be fined if they do not cover their face on public transport? it is a condition of travel, so you cannot travel unless you are wearing the face covering. there will be posted to remind you, it will be quite a visual thing. there will also be other powers. so ultimately, it could lead to fines. i hope we will not be in that situation. train companies say covering your face will become increasingly important. wearing a face covering in either a train or a station should give customers that confidence that they can make that journey safely. but obviously, this policy has just been announced and we have to work with government to ensure that it is implement it properly. face coverings are recommended on public transport in scotla nd recommended on public transport in scotland and northern ireland. the scottish government is thinking about making them compulsory. but the broad message is, please wear any type of face covering if you have to travel. on the wearing of face dozens of countries already have rules in place on the wearing of face masks in public places. 0ur science editor david shukman explains the thinking behind the new guidance. inside a train, we can t see for real how the coronavirus could be spread, so this animation simulates what might happen. how someone who s infected but maybe doesn t realise can pass it on just by talking to the passenger sitting close to them. it s in confined crowded situations like this that face coverings could make a difference. scientists have studied how a cough travels through the air and could carry the virus with it, and how wearing some kind of mask can reduce that flow. the science is clear that being out of doors is safest of all because of all the fresh air and how it s easy to keep two metres apart, but indoors, of course you can t do that, especially on a train or bus. in which case, if everyone wears some kind of mask, even something that s home made, that will reduce the chances of them passing the virus to you and of you passing it to others. for several weeks now, masks have been mandatory on the paris metro. more and more governments have looked at the evidence and they have decided that, although face coverings are no guarantee against infection, they can help reduce it. many scientists say the benefits are clear. if you put your hand in front of yourface and cough, you can feel that it gets wet, you can feel that something in front of your face will stop those droplets, and i think the other thing that has changed is what we call natural experiments. country after country which has introduced face coverings has seen a subsequent decline in the transmission of this terrible virus. 0n face masks, we are guided by the science and the government position hasn t changed. so we are now seeing a big change. for months, the uk government had been against the public wearing any kind of masks. not least because the most important thing people can do is the social distancing, as opposed to the weak science on face masks. but the contrast with countries like germany became more striking. for some time there, on public transport, masks have had to be worn. the big worry here was that medical staff would lose out. that s why home made face coverings were suggested to help the public without harming the hospitals. david shukman, bbc news. let s join our chief political correspondent vicki young, who s in westminster. vicki, there s a question as to why the government is making this announcement now. the government has never really standard enthusiastic about this. it does partly go against every natural conservative instincts, including those of borisjohnson himself, to force people to do this kind of thing. but you can see some parallels here with those measures, for example, to quarantine people travelling into the uk, some criticism that the government is against it and then they slowly start to move towards it. but remember, the mayor of london sadiq khan has been calling for compulsory face coverings in the capital for several weeks. the government s response to that is to say the timing now is because things are going to start to get busier. restrictions on england are starting to be lifted. there is also an element of trying to give people the confidence to get back onto public transport as they start to get back to some kind of normality. it is another reminder that everything to do with this crisis is notjust about the science. these are political decisions as well. vicki young, thank you. the uk s death toll from coronavirus rose again today to almost 40,000. in the past 24 hours, the deaths of another 176 people have been registered. since the beginning of march, 39,904 have now died. with me now is our health editor, hugh pym. i remember sitting here with you two months ago, and 20,000 was going to bea months ago, and 20,000 was going to be a good figure. it is now almost double that. yes, it was sir patrick vallance, the government s chief scientific adviser, who said early on that 20,000 deaths would be a good outcome, although still horrible. that 20,000 mark was passed in late april. here we are in earlyjune on the verge of getting to 40,000, although not quite yet. let s look at the detailed data presented at the downing street media briefing on the number of deaths confirmed for those with a positive test around the uk. you can see the number coming down fairly steadily. the seven day rolling average, that line, has started falling again. the number of new delhi reported deaths, 176, is relatively low. but moving on to hospital data, you get a slightly more ominous picture. the top graph is the estimated new daily admissions with covid 19 in english hospitals. and it has ticked up a bit. that figure of 505 new delhi admissions, the highest since the end of may new daily admissions. so in conclusion, what we see here, things are pointing tentatively in the right direction, but you can see why health officials and scientific advisers are extremely cautious about saying where things go from here. hugh pym, thank you. let s take a look at some of today s other news. the business secretary, alok sharma, who appeared in the commons yesterday looking ill, is today said to be doing well working from home, as he awaits his result of a coronavirus test. mr sharma went into self isolation after his appearance at the dispatch box. new figures from the office for budget responsibility suggest the cost of the uk s emergency spending and tax cuts, intended to soften the economic hit from coronavirus, will add up to £133 billion. this is a £10 billion increase on its previous estimate. there s also been a further collapse in car sales. borisjohnson has told a global vaccine some of that finding a coronavirus inoculation will provide cooperation on a scale not anything we ve ever seen before. a summit of more than 50 countries and donors is aiming to raise a £6 billion for the vaccination of children. in scotland, the coronavirus infection rate has reduced slightly in the past week. the first minister, nicola sturgeon said the r number, which estimates how many people an individual will infect, is now 0.7 to 0.9, down from 0.7 to one. the new figures do not reflect the situation since the lockdown was eased last friday. ms sturgeon said the progress being made to control the spread of the virus was encouraging but still fragile. a memorial service is about to get under way in the us city of minneapolis for george floyd, the african american killed there last week, while being held by police. three police officers, sacked after his death, will appear in court shortly for the first time charged in connection with his murder. the former us defence secretary james mattis has condemned donald trump s response to the protests over george floyd s death. he said the president was wrong to say the military should be used to end the demonstrations, and accused him of trying to divide the country. 0ur corresopondent, aleem maqbool reports. justice now! they haven t stopped taking to the streets even though there are now charges against all four officers involved in the incident where george floyd was killed. the cause has become much broader including protest against the way the state has often crossed peaceful demonstrations. even some of the most respected ex military leaders in the us have condemned donald trump s response including his former defence secretary james mattis. donald trump is the first president in my lifetime who doesn t try to unite the american people, doesn t even pretend to try, instead he tries to divide us, he said. militarising our response as we witnessed in washington, dc sets up a false conflict between the military and civilian society. predictably, the president responded on social media with insults. good afternoon, everybody. in a virtual town hall meeting, former president barack 0bama said this was a moment to, in his words, make people in power uncomfortable. as tragic as these past few weeks have been, as difficult and scary and uncertain as they have been, they ve also been an incredible opportunity for people to be awakened to some of these underlying trends. and the duchess of sussex gave an impassioned address to students graduating from her old high school in la. i realised the only wrong thing to say it is to say nothing. because george floyd s life mattered and breonna taylor s life mattered and philando castile s life mattered and tamir rice s life mattered. and so did so many other people whose names we know and whose names we do not know. protesters continue to remind us of those agonising minutes george floyd laid down under a policeman s knee. they are yet to hear what s being done to make sure nothing like it ever happens again. aleem maqbool, bbc news, in washington. 0ur correspondent barbara plett usher is in minneapolis, where george floyd s memorial service is about to take place. give us a sense of the mood there tonight. yes, sophie, so many pauses of breath taken after ten days of turmoil after this memorial. it ll be the first of three which will be held over six in three different states and the reverend al sharpton, a well known civil rights leader, will lead the service. he will be remembering george floyd the man who meant a lot to his family when he was alive but also what is death a means to the country. i think he will be starting to try to shape that meaning because, as we saw, it triggered this movement for racial justice beyond any expectation. the service is going to be livestreamed but by invitation only so those who didn t getan but by invitation only so those who didn t get an invitation will still be coming here to the memorial site where george floyd drew his last breath. and just before the service, yesterday, it was announced that new charges had been filed against three officers involved in that arrest and charges had been increased against one of those officers. those three will be appearing in court later today and the family is welcome that, they have called this a significant step on the road to justice, but they ve also said this isa justice, but they ve also said this is a bittersweet moment. and it s a bittersweet moment for the family, for those who have been protesting for those who have been protesting for the last ten days, but also a time of community drawing together and we ve really seen this here at this memorial site. so many people, black, white, asian, joining together to say they don t want to put up with this, giving out food, solidarity, music, as well, so this isa solidarity, music, as well, so this is a positive thing which has come out of these terrible events of the past ten days. barbara, in minneapolis, thank you. several thousand people have gathered in the centre of birmingham for a black lives matter demonstration over the death of george floyd in america. authorities said the event s location had to be moved to accommodate the number of people expected to attend. 0rganisers asked people to socially distance. the charity, crisis, is warning of a growing homelessness problem around the country in the wake of the pandemic. it has contacted scores of charities and organisations in england, wales and scotland and found that more than half of these front line services reported a rise in people seeking help during the lockdown. and councils are warning they need more money to cope with the growing problem. june kelly reports from birmingham. hello. you all right? they form part of birmingham is

they are among those who have been housed in among those who have been housed in a city centre hotel. because i m sleeping ina a city centre hotel. because i m sleeping in a nice bed, with nice things

government says it s committed to ending rough sleeping and is planning 6000 new homes. june kelly, news, birmingham. south korea is using technology to track down people infected with coronavirus in less than an hour as it tries to clamp down on those breaking quarantine rules. south korea has had one of the most successful strategies in the world for dealing with the virus. fewer than 300 people have died. 0ur seoul correspondent laura bicker has more details each gasp for breath. each drop of blood painted an alarming picture. do you have any cough? no cough. headache? wan yu from wuhan, china, was south korea s first coronavirus patient. her scans revealed she had been ill for days before showing symptoms. doctors realised then that carriers could infect others without knowing they
