now it s time for the coronavirus newscast. there have been so many words this week to describe the dominic cummings situation what was it the government used officially to describe it? entirely reasonable. yeah. entirely legal. yeah. then it moved on to it being about following instincts. hmm. and then it moved on a bit to. move on! yes, more sort of end of story. move on! and then durham police said might , and that was briefly the most used word on twitter in britain at one point today. and then there s the words the public have been using, here is emma barnett from 5 live with some of the words that have been on her daily phone in. foolish, furious and bored. more from emma later in the podcast, and plenty more words on plenty more subjects. but mostly about coronavirus. welcome to the coronavirus newscast. the coronavirus newscast from the bbc. hello, it s adam in the studio. and laura in the same studio for once, but two metres apart. and fergus in new broadcasting house, in a studio all to myself. aw! several miles away, but still with us in spirit. now, it s another one of those milestones, because the restrictions on our movements in england, certainly, get reviewed every three weeks. today was one of the review days, borisjohnson was at the downing street podium describing it all. some stuff we knew already, so some primary school classes going back in england from monday. yep. some shops reopen in england from the 15th ofjune. yep. dentists, if they can. yes, coronacasters who ve been taking a close interest in this, dentistry is on the way back in england at least. on the 8th ofjune, if they ve got enough ppe and can operate safely. and borisjohnson officially launched the start of barbecue season with your mates. here s how he did it. we will allow up to six people to meet outside, provided those from different households continue strictly to observe social distancing rules by staying two metres apart. at the moment, as you know, people can meet in parks, but not in private gardens. and this was a cautious first step, but we know that there is no difference in the health risk. so we will now allow people to meet in gardens and other private outdoor spaces. fergus, is this too good to be true? is it garden parties morning, noon and night in england from now on? this is the joy of six, adam! six degrees of separation! let s get into the detail here, so you ve got to be really careful when you hand over that charred sausage to your maiden aunt who you haven t seen for two months. and you ve also got to be really careful if one of your invitees says, i really need the loo. can they go in your house? and the answer, chris whitty said, yes, they can, if they re desperate, but they ll have to do a thorough clean afterwards. so this is a way you can get people to come in and clean your toilet for you. yeah, although i have to say, when i heard him say that, i kind of thought, don t people leave other people s bathrooms tidy anyway? maybe there s a cheap gender point to be made here. you don t use an antiseptic wipe to wipe down the surfaces. he said a thorough clean. and also there s a four nations thing here as well, because nicola sturgeon, the first minister of scotland, she actually said something slightly different at lunchtime today. yes, in scotland, actually, although overall the scottish government has been more cautious generally, actually, in scotland, the number, i think, will be eight people you ll be allowed to meet. but i think it s really important to know, whether it s eight or six. you still absolutely have to keep your distance to people. this is not meant to be a free for all. but it represents a very big move into phase three. remember, we had that sort of, you know, going for gold. anyone remember that? going for gold, that quiz show. we ve sort of gone from five, which was the terrible, sort of almost dreadful peak of the virus, we ve been in phase four, now phase three, which means the government has passed, confusingly, their five tests, throwing lots of numbers out there. but it s a big moment from monday in england and scotland and northern ireland and wales, although the the finer details are slightly different. it s a big deal that we re moving into the next phase. lockdown isn t over. but we ve taken quite a few big steps towards sort of something like new normality. and, fergus, this isn t the bubbles thing we ve talked about before, whereby maybe your parents could come round to your house and do your childcare for their grandkids, even though the prime minister did say it s an opportunity for people to see their grandparents and parents. yeah, people who may not have met up for a couple of months now, and it can be six people from different households. so it really is a big deal. and it s also, i suppose, adam, it s quite a big risk if people don t pay attention to it properly, because it is still the case, isn t it, that there are still lots of new cases? the r is still that crucial infection rate. that s still between 0.7 and 0.9. one, remember, is the phase, if it goes above that number, then it could start going out of control again. and you know, sir patrick vallance, who s the government s chief scientific adviser, still sounded very, very cautious about what s going on. there is not a lot of room to do things, and things need to be done cautiously, step by step, and monitored. and the tests and trace system needs to be effective in order to manage that. fergus, i thought he sounded actually quite gloomy there. is he doing that to just be like, hold your horses, everyone? we ve still got to be careful, this is to stop everyone barbecuing morning, noon and night? or actually, is there a bit of a problem here that actually the virus is not disappearing as fast as we would like from the uk? absolutely from chris whitty and patrick vallance, there were massive notes of caution that this shouldn t be seen as the start of, hey, barbecue season and we ve defeated this. and there s real concern that we could see another surge in cases. the indications are, in terms of hospital numbers, hospital admissions with covid, the number of people in intensive care with covid 19, all those figures are falling, but still something like 54,000 new infections in england alone each week. so the virus is very much still out there. and constantly they were reminding people, you ve got to maintain social distancing. right, we ve gone this long without mentioning the name dominic cummings, the prime minister s adviser, who has now admitted, said he drove to county durham to stay with his extended family, although he didn t necessarily stay with them, he was staying near them. in a different house. he drove to barnard castle, a nice town, a0 minutes down the road. and the police have been. i won t say, investigating it, they looked into it. they looked into it because they had reports and complaints from members of the public, and durham police, after all the political hoohah this week, it s been a huge political problem for the government all week, we got this afternoon a statement from durham police, which mps were joking about them having splinters in places that aren t necessarily that comfortable, because they were sitting on the fence to quite such an extent. however, actually, it was a very technical and detailed statement. basically, what the police said in terms of mr cummings leaving london to go to durham to get childcare on hand in case things all went wrong for him and his wife, they didn t have a problem with that. they said that that was reasonable, which was his case really all along on that central allegation. but they did say if they d happened to bump into him in barnard castle, they would have told him to go home. they would have said, i m really sorry, but here s your helpful reminder of the instructions or social distancing, and you should go back to yourfamily property in durham. but the way they said it is, well, that that might have been a minor breach, and therefore they re not going to take any more action. so if you like, there was kind of something in it for everyone, because this has been a furious political row, and people who have a real animus against him, and who were insisting that he should go and he should quit can say, look, well, they would have told him to go home if he hadn t, and on the other hand, for downing street, who are desperate to keep him and he s desperate to stay, then it said, well, case closed, move on, no retrospective action. if , might , minor , not . well, exactly! exactly. but i think. i mean, any kind of political brouhaha like this, there s a sort of anatomy of it in terms of the number of days that it plays. and it s not a game, i don t mean it in that way, but when you cover these kinds of stories over a period of years, there s always a sort of initial explosion of outrage, which there certainly has been this week, right? this is not a bubble story, as number ten sometimes tries to dismiss things, no question this has had big impact and people have been very, very cross. but we have also started to hear from some members of the public in the last couple of days, and i know from my inbox i always go on about, some people are i like, move on, the guy did a silly thing, he hasn t said sorry, but it s time to shut up about it. but not everybody feels that way in politics, really not. well, we were looking for a way to how can we gauge the public mood, as they say, on proper news programmes, and we thought let s speak to emma barnett, who does a 5 live phone in nearly every single day, she has her ear to the entire british public, at least the ones that call and text 5 live. here s her summary of just how it s felt being in the hot seat this week. it is safe to say, since brexit, we have not had such a large response on phone calls, on the text console, on email, on social media, to this story regarding the prime minister s senior aide, dominic cummings. and people have been split, but i would say that the overwhelming feeling at the beginning of the week was rage. people telling us their stories, the sacrifices they had made, that feeling that it was one rule for him, another rule for them. i heard so many stories of people who just haven t gone to their children or their grandchildren down the road who ve had covid and now feel like they could have done. we also heard just total confusion as to what this now meant for the rules, had they been following them right. we also heard people saying we re bored, move on, this is you, this is the media, this is somebody who was just trying to do the right thing for his family, what are you doing, why you keep going with this? and then at the same time, the minute you read those messages out, a whole load more came in saying, i pay for my licence fee, i want the right to talk about this. and unlike what the prime minister said in the liaison committee, move on, move on, move on , i don t want to move on, so i m going to talk about this. every time we tried to move on, we were brought back to it. and then, of course, with the people saying they were bored of it, that also included a group of people who felt that the bbc had its own agenda to keep going with it. i know it seems really obvious to say this, but yeah, public opinion isn t one thing. of course it s not. but it has changed over the last few days. and it s interesting what emma was saying there, that s kind of a reflection of the stuff, you know, the incoming. at the beginning, the vast majority of people were saying, i cannot believe this, i am appalled. and then as the sort of anatomy of the thing moves on and people start to say, yeah, all right, can you crack on now? but the political point is a real one. and i think there has been a fracture over this between the prime minister s team in number ten and the rest of the tory party. and i m not minimising the public‘s feeling about it, but from a political point of view, it s notjust going to disappear because it s really soured relationships between number ten and some of their employees. that s a problem even when you ve got a 80 seat majority, you still have to have your troops on side. because more than a0 conservative mps have said he should resign. publicly, and the number behind the scenes is a lot bigger than that. and a lot of people in the cabinet are really furious. four cabinet ministers said to me in one day on this. what day are we? i don t know! this week, that he should resign. one of them was practically could hardly speak, they said, i cannot tell you how angry i am. and it tells you a lot about this administration that they can have sort of cabinet rage, a0 members of their own party going public to say he should quit, and be like nah . and they they believe in downing street that the public mood has kind of changed and actually it won t be a long term problem. but, you know, i was going to say time will tell, but that s a terrible reporter s thing to say, so i won t! is it true, though. but then this afternoon we had this sort of. what should i call it? an episode at the downing street briefing where you asked a question. yes. to the two men who were stood either side of borisjohnson, chris whitty, the chief medical officer for england, and sir patrick vallance, the chief scientific adviser and. well, you know what? just listen to this, this is how it played out. durham police have said this afternoon they would have sent dominic cummings home if they d found him in barnard castle. if one of your most senior team wasn t paying proper attention to the rules, why should anyone else? and to the doctors, if i may, is that the kind of example that you want people to follow? well, laura, first of all, can i say, i ve said quite a lot on this matter already, and i also noticed that what the durham police said was that they were going to take no action and that the matter was closed. and i intend to to draw a line under the matter. as i said, i think yesterday to the parliamentary liaison committee, they re not taking any action, and i intend to draw a line under it. and i know that you ve asked chris and patrick. but i m going to interpose myself, if i may, and protect them from what i think would be an unfair and unnecessary attempt to ask a political question. it s very, very important that our medical officers and scientific advisers do not get dragged into what i think most people will recognise is fundamentally a political argument. if that s all right, laura. could we go now to robert peston of itv? got muted. some people thought that was incredibly controversial, laura. well, it s a bit strange because, well, for several reasons. number one, if a press conference is a press conference, well, then the people who are appearing at lecterns are there to answer questions. so, you know, iwould say that obviously. number two, it s not like professor chris witty and sir patrick vallance are somehow kind of weaklings who aren t perfectly able to. ingenues! yeah, exactly. they re not green to this business. they re both highly experienced professional people who ve done lots of those briefings and who have very helpfully, i think for the public, answered lots and lots of questions. and also, you know, this is about this next phase of the lockdown. it is imperative that the public‘s got faith in the people who are making decisions on their behalf, because it s going to be much more down to our own discretion because there isn t one blanket rule. and you know, therefore, how people in downing street who have written the rules behave is something i m probably sure that they would have a view on and who would have been perfectly able to say, actually, i don t want to get involved in politics, as they did a bit later, but i d urge everyone to follow the rules or, you know, whatever. but i just wonder if they d said to boris johnson, i ll do the press conference, but i m certainly not going to answer any questions about that. or if number ten said, we want you to be at the press conference, but we ll make sure you don t get asked about it. who knows? this will be the stuff of, you know.. memoirs. oh, yes. fergus, very quickly, day one of test and trace in england, how has it gone? just very briefly. well, as you say, day one of test and trace in england, test and protect in scotland. there were some teething problems. we were told in advance it wasn t going to be the full thing. some people, the people who ve been hired to do the tracing, said they couldn t log on. but it s out there. it s not the finished article. but there were more than 2,000 people they were going to be contacting and then they spend about an hour with each of them and then people who are their contacts, their close contacts, will get a text or an email saying you must self isolate, you must do your civic duty, as matt hancock put it, and self isolate for ia days whether or not you have any symptoms. and we will have to wait and see how many people comply with that. still very divided about whether i want to call or not, because the fomo of, i want to be part of it. but then there s. .. the fomo you ve got from self isolating for ia days. but you want the experience. it really means that, you know, from today it s more important than ever to really socially distance because you don t want to be in the situation where you think, oh, well, i did, i actually did was really quite close to that person in the office. if they then end up testing positive, they can think, oh, i did have that close contact with laura, so i better name her and then that s it. laura, you re off for two weeks. let s keep this to the theoretical. wise words. i mean, it s a reminder. it really matters. it really, really matters. emma barnett kindly reminded us that the last thing that stoked this much controversy was brexit. so let s bring that back. of course, long time listeners will know that this used to be a podcast called brexitcast before it became coronavirus newscast. and there s a very famous episode that s gone down in history where laura and katya adler, our europe editor, had a laugh about a very naughty news story from denmark. now, social media sensation meggie foster, who is the lip synching queen, has managed to dig up that episode. and here is what she did with it. no! so denmark s coming up to general election. and you know how these days, especially with populism on the rise, the idea for traditional politicians, is how do we get closer to the people? how do we get more and show that we re more in touch? so this danish politician, in order to try and make a name for himself. i know where this is going! ..said he wanted to go where the people were. and so he has an advertisement on a porn site or various porn sites. i mean, i m not quite sure. which one did you see it on? i can t actually tell you what it says. it basically says. let s just bleep this out. what is it say? what does it say?! vote for me and what? i can t remember, i can t remember. vote for me after you finished. no! so, he wants to put himself in the same. anyway. we re going to have to. he won t be posting a link! i have memories of that as me just saying, come on, let s get back to the serious stuff. i think that has shocked fergus. we ll spare your blushes. yes. we ll see you later. take care. then we ll say hello to the third person in that clip. it s katya adler. hello, katya. hello. i m good, thank you. and how are you? i had tojust push the chair away from me before i came across in the studio. and that makes me miss you all the more, adam. and but other than that, thank you. i m good. now, on to matters brexit related. it feels that quite a few things have happened in the last few weeks with like letters going backwards and forwards. the government in the uk published a paper about how the ireland protocol would work, but then i thought, has actually anything really happened, katya? so, it s yes and no, you know, it s one of those things where when you re on the inside, it feels like there s lots of stuff happening. but when you take that big step away, you say, look, i think all the predictions are, despite the fact that, you know, at the end of the ofjune, there s a big eu uk summit that, according to the withdrawal agreement, is the legal date by which the eu and uk have to say if there s going to be an extension to negotiations, an extension to the transition period or not. downing street says definitely not. so that s sort of a moment. but all predictions here in brussels, anyway, is that we re going to have another hot autumn. so a bit like autumn 2019 with a lot of last minute negotiations and each side thinking that the other will buckle under the pressure because when you say what s changed, i mean, people here in the uk, kind of political and civil servants types think they ve detracted from michel barnier, a bit of movement on a potential fishing deal, which is one of the big sticking points. has he. is there room for manoeuvre there? or is thatjust a bit of wishful thinking? so, it s sort of like deja vu again, not just that we re going to have a hot autumn, but, you know, it s again where michel barnier says something. he was talking about the maximalist approach that the eu is taking when it comes to fishing. butjust this week, he had a meeting with the eight coastal eu countries, that includes spain and france and the netherlands, and those countries, so it s the countries who are being more hard line. and they re saying to michel barnier, forget it. we don t want any wiggle room. we ve pretty much just want to keep those quotas for our fishermen in uk waters with this new agreement. and that is something that the uk said it absolutely won t sign up to. they re right at the other end. they say, look, we want to negotiate this year on year. so the two sides are still very far apart on that. ithink, though, that like when you talk to negotiators like outside the rooms, they can all see that there could be room for manoeuvre on fishing. there could be room for manoeuvre in the european commission here amongst the member states on those level playing field provisions, how it is worded and stuff like that. maybe the uk could give in a bit on governance, you know, whether it s one overarching agreement or a set of mini deals and maybe there s some kind of meeting ground there. but the mood music, because you mentioned, adam, you know those two letters from the two key negotiators, david frost in the uk and michel barnier here, were pretty, pretty tough sounding. but then i think we re back to the same musings that we had leading up to the brexit deal, which is how much that is said in public is aimed at a domestic audience, you know, standing tough, and how much is actually aimed at the other side? now, it s notjust that the political situation is different with a different government, with a whopping majority, it s also that the coronavirus crisis is so, so much bigger than all of this. but, you know, hopefully touch wood, it won t be forever, even though, you know, we are getting those. michael gove and the negotiator really put on the spot this week by mps, trying to sound like everything was going swimmingly, adam, were they? yeah. so this is the future relationship with the eu select committee. and like all select committees in parliament, it s done via video conferencing now. and david frost, the uk s chief negotiator, and michael gove, who s the chancellor of the duchy of lancaster, were in their office. i mean, to me, this look like an antiques collector s youtube channel. but actually, it is about the negotiations. and then michael gove got all kind of sport, which is not normally what michael gove does. not what you d expect. let s have a listen. and finally, are you still, i think, more than two thirds confident of a trade deal with the eu by the end of the year? i am a fan of aberdeen and queen s park rangers, so i m a natural optimist. don t quite understand that, but. teams that don t always do very well, so you have to be an optimist to support them. you know even less about football than i do? yes. because that s a low bar. katya, i m gonna let you go now because you re doing a radio a documentary. thank you. lovely to see you. bye. right, now, did you see the warning from charity shops today, laura? yes. they re worried that we re just all going, like, to bring an avalanche of stuff to them when we re allowed to go to them on june 15th. yes. and i was very cross the other day because, you know those clothing bins where you can go and put stuff in. yeah. and i passed one the other day and people had just been leaving stuff all over the pavement around it. yeah, i actually experienced exactly the same thing. let s chat now to janet patterson, who runs the save the children shop in stockton heath in warrington. hello, janet. hello. are you worried about the avalanche of quite rubbish stuff that could come your way? quite likely, yes. our usual donors are obviously very proud of what they bring. of course, yes. it s the thought of the door opening and everybody wanting to get rid of everything because there are queues outside the tips that have been opened. so you almost think that people think they re going to do the right thing by giving everything to the shop. i m not convinced that they are. do you feel that you ll be ready to reopen? i mean, like lots and lots of different businesses, you ve got loads of things to talk about, the complexity of second hand and how you move all of that. do you think you ll be able to do it and have both your staff and also the volunteers and customers actually feeling comfortable about it? well, that s is a big problem. i m a volunteer myself and we re lucky enough. we have 50 volunteers in our shop, which is a huge number. however, of the 50, only 15 or 16 of us are under 70. and that s where the problem is going to be, that a lot of the over 70s i think are going to be really wary about coming back to volunteer. going back to where we started about what is good to bring to the charity shop and not, i ve actually been having a tidy up in my house. i wanted to just run some things past you about whether this is stuff that you d welcome or not. janet, by the way, just as he gets going, if you feel that this is uncomfortable about anything that he s suggesting the children might like, just tell me and i can stop him! just tell the truth. i would not be embarrassed because there s stuff i want to get rid of. right, first of all, we ve got a blazer, blue and white stripes. i mean, i don t know what i was thinking when i bought this. it s in good condition, though. i didn t wear it very much because it s not actually very nice. would you be happy to accept that? we would, as long as it s not got, with all due respect, a dirty collar on it. and looks all. yeah, i probably wore that. and it hasn t got holes in it or a rip or anything like that, if all its buttons are there. next item. these are some old swim shorts, with a lovely watermelon pattern. right. shorts. would you take them? yes, i think we would. summer s coming. because i was worried that maybe they re a bit too intimate apparel. swimwear is ok. 0k. underwear is a bit, no thank you, we don t want it. this is a first. showing us your used trunks on national television. good luck with the reopening. finally this is a book about negotiating, it s quite good, would you want a book like that? yes, it doesn t all have to be paperback fiction, it s surprising how much nonfiction we sell. good luck with the reopening. thank you very much. thank you. i am impressed that she thought that she would accept your used trunks. they were clean, weren t they? of course they were. of course i ve washed them! ijust wanted to establish that before we go! thanks, everyone, forjoining us. and thank you for listening. we ll be back with another episode very soon. bye. this is bbc news i m lewis vaughan jones with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. anger across america: this is the scene right now in boston where hundreds of activists and police have clashed at protests over the death of george floyd. protests continue in minneapolis after the police sacked after he was filmed kneeling on the neck of a black man in minneapolis was charged with his murder. president trump offers his sympathy to george floyd s family he calls on protesters to hold peaceful demonstrations. a curfew is due to be imposed in the next hour. i spoke with his family today, terrific people, i think it is so bad for the memory when you see anything like that going on,
to the zoom dating. why did you accept the like? what about my profile did you like it? i was, like, maybe she s cool and she s into i don t know murder mystery podcasts or tech knowledge, so i thought we could strike up a conversation about that. the coronavirus has unleashed incredible growth for zoom. it now has about 265,400 corporate clients with more than ten employees a near fourfold increase from a year ago. shouting. please take that off there. but as more people logged on, its security and privacy flaws were exposed. in a trend that became known as zoom bombing, some people began disrupting online school classes as a prank to share on youtube, like twomad. yes, it was. don t don t do that with your head. no, you did! who are you? what do you mean, who am i? i don t think there is a realistic way where they could do anything about that. it s just, you know, free open season for me. zoom s latest earnings report shows this issue has had little impact on its ability to grow and to generate cash, only confirming its status as a wall street star. michelle fleury, bbc news, new york. time for a look at the weather. here s louise lear. hello everybody. a change of month, change of weather story i m afraid. let s cast our minds back to yesterday. cloud in scotland but hardly a cloud in the sky and temperatures into the mid 20s. however, what a difference a day makes. look at today. a lot of cloud around and that cloud, yes, there is some rain with it as well. welcome rainfor many some rain with it as well. welcome rain for many of us, certainly the gardeners will be happy. even if it does we can offer little bit. behind it, brighter with scattered stabs but a cool wind and it that wind gci’oss but a cool wind and it that wind across the cloud making a difference to the feel of the weather. temperatures are a good 10 degrees down on where they were yesterday. for the end of the day, we continue to see that rain bearing clouds pushing south and east, lightning mixed in which we can stop as it moves its way into east anglia and the south east. hopefully a little bit of welcome rain to water those parched gardens. behind it, cloud around, and overnight lows of 6 12. we start off tomorrow on a grey note. the cloud should then break, little bit of sunshine coming through but a scattering of showers tomorrow. lighter winds, as well, but again, a coolerfeel as tomorrow. lighter winds, as well, but again, a cooler feel as the wind comes from the north. some of those showers could have the odd rumble of thunder and lightning in there. top temperatures ranging 9 18. 0n friday, we could see more sharper showers and some of those merging together for longer spells of rain. almost anywhere could catch a shower for the best of the dry weather south wales and south west england by the end of the day. into the north east, heavy and persistent rain. temperatures around 9 17 but you ve got to factor in the wind strength by the time we move out of friday. gusting in excess of 50 miles an hour by the middle of the afternoon, may be stronger through friday night into saturday morning, gci’oss friday night into saturday morning, across the northern half of the uk. certainly worth bearing in mind we could see some gales with gusts close to 60 miles an hour and trees in full leaf, it could have an impact, so last weekend it was all about high pressure in scandinavia. this week and it s all about low pressure moving to scandinavia. it s going to stay unsettled which means we will continue to see plenty of showers, also a brisk breeze and certainly those temperatures looking likely to be done on where they have been of late. back to you. louise, thank you very much. a reminder of our top story. boris johnson and keir starmer clash in the commons over the government s handling of the coronavirus pandemic that s all from the bbc news at one, so it s goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you

failed to keep hold of my emotions . meanwhile, the former manchester city and qpr defender nedum 0nuoha has told the bbc he doesn t feel 100 per cent safe in the us, as a black man. he now plays for real salt lake in the american mls. in the uk, i m more comfortable because i know if something happens it probably won t be deadly. but over here, because of the riots and stuff like that, it s more common that certain altercations become deadly. so i more and more aware of that as i go round anyway and the state of utah is a great state but as it comes to any brutality from the police, if they read me the wrong way, it s like my life could be taken and i feel that every single day. manchester city have reminded their midfielder phil foden of his responsibilities after he appeared to break social distancing guidelines by playing football on the beach. he was pictured having a kickabout and having his photo taken with fans at the weekend. even though premier league players are back in

time millwall played in the championship, matt smith scored a hat trick inside 13 minutes, as they beat nottingham forest. that was nearly three months ago, but they ve now been given a potential restart date of the 20th ofjune. matches will be behind closed doors and smith says playing without a crowd will have a real impact on millwall in particular. a huge loss for us. it is no secret oui’ a huge loss for us. it is no secret our home form has been incredible this season. i think we d be up there right at the top of the division in terms of home form. and the fans are a big, big reason. they create an incredibly hostile atmosphere for away teams. i have been there plenty of times as in away player and it is not the ground you want to play out. so as the home side we have taken full advantage of that. we ve been talking a lot about athletes struggling to keep up with their training during the lockdown. libby clegg has won two paralympic gold medals as a blind sprinter. but due to social distancing rules, she now can t run while attached to her training partner. obviously we have got quite a lot of protocol in place so we have to do welfare checks before we can even come to the track and then we need to check our temperature. but when we get there, obviously i normally run with a guide runner and for me at the moment it is really difficult. so there is only a few people allowed on the track at once. i think at the moment it is a maximum of eight people, that includes athletes and coaches. if i am running with my guide run that we have to run about two lanes apart from each other so they re trying to give me verbal cues rather than physical ones. it quite hard. that s all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that s bbc.co.uk/sport i will see you again in the next hour. the welsh education minister kirsty williams announced today that all schools in wales will reopen on the 29th june. williams said schools will be open to pupils from all year groups but for limited periods during the week, with restrictions on pupil numbers. in each school there will be a phased approach. year groups will be split into cohorts with staggered starts, lessons and breaks. meaning at the most, the very most, a third of pupils will be present at any one time. we will see much smaller classes, providing secure, dedicated time with teachers and classmates. and this time will also include online and personalised classroom experiences, which will prepare children and their teachers for a similar experience in september. next week, we will publish operational guidance to support schools and higher education. this will include information on managing their facilities including buildings, resources, cleaning and transport. the leader of the conservatives in scotland has said the policy of the scottish government on testing care home workers for coronavirus is ‘dither, delay and distract‘. speaking at first minister s questions, jackson carlaw said they promised two weeks ago that there would be regular testing of staff in care homes, but it still wasn t happening. first minister, the world health organization could not have been clear at the start of this crisis. it told you and it said it, the priority was to test, test, test. yet for care homes with this snp government it has been dither, delay, distract. the tragedy is this, scotland has the capacity to test. indeed, if you had used that capacity effectively since the end of april, you could have tested all the residents and staff at care homes twice. instead, capacity is being squandered and care home workers and residents who have already enjoyed the horror of this crisis are being let down all over again. why, two weeks on from a promise to test all care home staff, is this government is still not getting it right? in response, nicola sturgeon said the scottish government has been following the guidance provided by the who. she also said deaths in care homes were declining slightly faster than in hospital and she would publish robust figures on testing when they were available. the who on care homes did not say what jackson carlo has just alleged and asserted. in fact, i m sure based on the fact that his puts questions on this, he has read the guidance. the who issued technical guidance. the who issued technical guidance on infection control on the zist guidance on infection control on the 21st of march. and all of the guidance that the scottish government has issued from the 13th of march, which we updated on the 26th of march and then updated again i think 26th of march and then updated again ithink in 26th of march and then updated again i think in may, has been consistent with the guidance, the technical guidance that the who has set out and we will continue to make sure that we adapt our approaches as any evidence and advice that comes from authorities like that change in the future. so we will continue to take the careful and considered steps that we are taking. we will not shy away from the challenges that we face in the unprecedented situation we are dealing with. but the scottish government will continue to ta ke scottish government will continue to take that careful, cautious approach, making sure that we, as we have done, build up our testing capacity but also crucially used testing in a way that is clinically driven. and that is the responsibility i take seriously and will continue to do so. nicola sturgeon. a clinical contract tracer has told the bbc‘s victoria derbyshire exclusively that she s spent much of her time since the government s track and trace system went live watching netflix, because she hasn t been assigned a single case. the government s scheme began in england last thursday. the health secretary matt hancock says the scheme has been successful. figures disclosed last night for thursday to sunday suggest nearly 11,500 covid 19 cases were reported to test and trace during this time. of those just over 1,800 had provided information about their close contacts. the woman my colleague victoria derbyshire has been speaking to is a nurse, and has worked around 38 hours in total so far over several shifts earning £17.35 an hour. she says she hasn t made one call in that time and feels guilty for being paid to ‘sit idle‘. victoria spoke to ‘becky‘ yesterday evening it‘s not her real name because she asked to remain anonymous. it was on the downing street briefing on wednesday by matt hancock when i found out the system was going live on thursday morning. since the system has gone live, i‘ve worked 38 hours as a contact tracer. i say worked, i‘ve been available to work as a contact tracer since it went live. and i‘m yet over 38 hours to make a single phone call or be assigned a case. so you ve worked 38 hours as a clinical contract tracer on shift since the system went live and you haven‘t found anyone? on shift since the system went live and you haven t found anyone? no. i‘ve had no contact from anyone. i‘ve had no contact from anyone. i‘ve had no contact from anyone. i‘ve had no contact from supervisors. i‘ve literally been on the system and entertain myself during that watching netflix. what are you watching? i ve been watching a good place. i‘m halfway through season three. i‘ve just watched it alongside going back to the system, refreshing it, occasionally having to log back in because it had timed out. yeah, i‘m yet to have any contact with anybody regarding contact with anybody regarding contact tracing. so taxpayers are paying you to watch netflix? yeah, and it‘s frustrating. paying you to watch netflix? yeah, and it s frustrating. do you feel guiltyjust sitting and it s frustrating. do you feel guilty just sitting there and it s frustrating. do you feel guiltyjust sitting there refreshing your screen and watching netflix?|j do, yeah, definitely. i‘ve gone into nursing because it‘s a vocation and i‘ve gone into this role with the intention of providing care for people in whichever capacity i can. this contact tracing idea, which is working in other countries like in germany, is quite effective. it‘s frustrating to know that i‘m sat idle when there is people that need contacting. i can‘t understand why we contacting. i can‘t understand why we haven‘t had any contacts. it doesn‘t make any sense to me. we haven‘t had any contacts. it doesn t make any sense to me. what doesn t make any sense to me. what do you think of that?|j doesn t make any sense to me. what do you think of that? i think it s appalling. i think it‘s dishonest and that is one of the fundamental concerns about this. we are trying to build a very large system that is trying to keep people in england safe, to try and prevent a second spike. i understand it‘s complex and i understand that there is going to be challenges but from my perspective as a citizen of england, i would prefer honesty. it‘s not ready yet. hold fire. you know, they have released aspects of lockdown which without track and trace it‘s not safe to do so. not having a system not safe to do so. not having a syste m u p not safe to do so. not having a system up and running is obviously frustrating but it‘s about people‘s lives. becky, thank you very much for talking to us. that was victoria derbyshire. the department of health and social care told us in a statement: the new nhs test and trace service is up and running and will help save lives. these claims do not reflect the huge amount of work already underway. anyone in this country can book a test and we have over 25,000 contact tracers in place to undertake this vital work‘. that‘s the statement there. i‘m just going to take you over to hyde park in london because there is some remarkable images there as thousands of protesters gather to take part in a london black lives matter protest. it s a london black lives matter protest. it‘s been prompted by the death of george floyd whilst under arrest in the united states. demonstrators turning up in hyde park from around ten o‘clock this morning, ahead of the official start an hour ago. they have been holding up placards saying uk aren‘t innocent. and a number of changes to demonstrations of course with social distancing taking place. many of the protesters being asked to put their arms out as they walked m, to put their arms out as they walked in, to ensure they weren‘t too close to others. according to the evening standard website, i‘m just looking at that, they say that amongst the thousands of people it is a calm, peaceful demonstration, many children there with their parents as thousands take to central london. to pay respect and to protest at the same time. turkey is gradually easing coronavirus restrictions as death rates from the coronavirus continue to fall. outbreaks of covid 19 in the world, but international experts say it has responded well to the pandemic and averted a much bigger disaster. according to the latest official figures turkey has more than 165,000 cases and almost 4,600 deaths. our international correspondent orla guerin reports from a hospital treating corona virus patients in istanbul. one more boreal in istanbul. covid 19 is still claiming lives here. one more boreal in istanbul. turkey says other countries could learn from its approach. which includes using hydroxychloroquine, the antimalarial is much touted as a treatment by donald trump, much challenged by international research. but it‘s in widespread use here, as we saw when we we re widespread use here, as we saw when we were welcomed by the team at a state hospital in istanbul. when the patient comes to our clinic we start to give them hydroxychloroquine is a prime treatment. so this 19 year old, newly admitted, will get the drug. doctors here insist hydroxychloroquine helps fight the virus but it‘s not their only weapon in this battle. the treatment in here is an oxygen treatment. we try to avoid the patient to give i see you units because. is it working? we believe so. when i see patients getting better. sometimes i‘m very surprised. this man is one of those getting better after the full treatment. hydroxychloroquine, oxygen in high concentrations and blood plasma. the ao year old is brimming with gratitude. translation: everyone took care of me so well. it was like being in my mothers arms. this hospital doesn‘t make you feel scared, it makes you feel safe. but international experts tell us the use of hydroxychloroquine is unsafe. this doctor is a virologist at the university of kent. right now, the science says that hydroxychloroquine does not prevent covid 19 infection and does not prevent severe covid 19 disease. and we need to be basing public policy on the latest scientific data and they are still using hydroxychloroquine despite this data. and i think that is my biggest concern. but staff at the hospital aren‘t planning to change course. they are proud that their mortality rate is less than 1%. they treat fast and treat aggressively. we use the combination of drugs. do you think that other countries should try to follow this approach? other countries except dili might acce pt other countries except dili might accept their patients to hospital in accept their patients to hospital in a really late period and they start their drugs very late in a very late period. are there lessons to learn from turkey pot battle covid 19? maybe but the country has advantages like a young population and a high number of intensive care beds. what works here may not easily translate elsewhere. bbc news, istanbul. the future of the uk‘s biggest car plant is under threat from a no deal brexit. nissan has warned that its plant in sunderland, which employs 6,000 people, would be unsustainable if the uk leaves the eu without a trade deal and tariffs are imposed on cars at the end of the brexit transition period. our business editor simonjack has been talking to their chief the home secretary outlining plans for quarantine for those travelling to the uk. to save lives and protect the british public by preventing a second wave of this disease. it is our priority has always been to protect people‘s health and protect those in uk safe from the virus and introducing this measure now will play an important role in ourfight against rotavirus. the tragic events of recent months have shown that in the world of serious threats the uk and global stability, pandemics have no boundaries. throughout this national endeavour, the introduction of public health measures has been to protect the public, keep the virus under control and now to protect our hard won progress as we move in the right direction. the scientific advice has been consistent and clear. and it is thanks to the collective determination and the resolve of the british public we are past the peak but we are now british public we are past the peak but we are now more british public we are past the peak but we are now more vulnerable to infections being brought in from abroad. some have suggested that public health measures at the border should have been introduced when the virus was at its peak. however, at that time, the scientific advice was clear that such measures would have made little difference when domestic transmission was widespread. but now the transmission rate in the united kingdom continues to decline and international travel is likely to resume from its record low. therefore, the scientific advice is that imported cases from the virus pose a more significant threat to our national effort and our recovery. travellers from overseas could become a high proportion of the overall number of infections in the overall number of infections in the uk and therefore increase the spread of the disease. the government is therefore taking a proportion and time limited approach to protect the health of the british public. madam deputy speaker, iwill recap and recalled the house of the key points of the public health measures the government is putting in place from the 8th ofjune. these temporary requirements are set out in the full health protection regulations laid her to limit later today. these will apply across england with devolved administrations laying their own regulations to set out their enforcement approaches. to limit the spread of infection, arrivals must self isolate for 1h days. this is the incubation period of coronavirus and this follows expert medical advice and is in line with the nhs test and trace service self isolation period for anybody who has beenin isolation period for anybody who has been in contact with the disease. working with key industries, the government has deliberately included a number of exemptions from the self isolation rules to allow essential services and supply chains to continue, keeping food on our tables and getting vital medical and ppe to the front line. the responsibility for sector specific exemptions sits with government departments. be required to fill in a locator form including details as to where they will isolate and how they can be contacted. this form will be found on gov dot uk and the government led working group with the industry has developed a process for carriers to inform travellers on the information they need to provide in order to travel to the uk. the form must be completed in advance of travel to provide details of the journey. borderforce will be provide details of the journey. border force will be at the front line of enforcing this requirement. passengers will require a receipt, either printed or on the phone electronically, to prove that they have completed the form and border force will undertake spot checks at the border and may refuse entry to non resident who refused to comply. they will have the power to impose a £100 fixed penalty notice of those who do not comply. our fantastic front line border force officers are world class and come continually work to keep our border safe and secure. the data collected will be used by public health england, who will undertake checks and ensure people understand and are following the rules. and if public health england have reason to believe someone is not following the law as they should be, they will inform the police. we trust the british people and our visitors to pay their part in acting responsibly and following the rules to control the spread of coronavirus. but we will not allow reckless minorities put our domestic recovery at risk. so there will be penalties and enforcement for those who break them. a breach of self isolation could result in a £1000 fixed penalty notice in england or potential prosecution. and this programme will work alongside test and trace to help us further minimise the public health threat of coronavirus. madam deputy speaker, secretaries of state from the cabinet office, transport, business and health have worked across government, the devolved administrations with science and industry to develop the policy carefully for this public health action. in line with all government covid 19 measures and, as i announced on the 22nd of may, the measures will be kept under regular review to ensure they remain proportionate and necessary. i can inform the house that the first review will take place in the week commencing the 28th ofjune. and they will be assessed on an ongoing basis thereafter along with all of the measures to fight this disease. we will publish in due course more information on the criteria that must be satisfied to lift these health measures. but i can update a house on some factors that will be considered. and these include the rate of infection and the credibility of reporting. the measures that international partners have put in place, levels of imported cases in other countries and where they are more relaxed border measures. and the degree to which antibody and other meds blue methods of testing prove effective in minimising health risk. country specific reports will be provided to allow us to monitor global progress. but we will only consider reviewing these measures when it shows that it is safe to do so because public health will always come first. and as we health will always come first. and as we have considered for all our cross government covid 19 measures, we cross government covid 19 measures, we will take into account the impact on economy and industry. the aviation and travel industry is home to some of britain‘s most successful businesses and supports thousands of jobs. across government, we understand how tough the public health measures to prevent a second wave of coronavirus are for the sector. the industry has a proud record of making safety of its passengers and staff is number one priority. it also has a record of dynamism and innovation. engagement with the industry is crucial. and we‘re asking them to work with us on these measures. we liaising with bodies such as the international civil aviation authority on this and on other covid 19 related if issues. and we will continue to work closely with companies and carriers. and thatis with companies and carriers. and that is why, with my right honourable friend the transport secretary, we will tomorrow host a roundtable to work across the travel sector and the broader business sector and the broader business sector as well on how we can innovate and move forward together but also form a long term plan for the industry. the government and industry share the same aim, to get britain and our economy moving again ina way britain and our economy moving again in a way which is safe and also practicalfor in a way which is safe and also practical for everyone. in a way which is safe and also practicalfor everyone. madam in a way which is safe and also practical for everyone. madam deputy speaker, our priority has always been the safety of our people. this has driven our evidence led cross government approach to this whole crisis. the foreign office will continue to advise against all, they currently advise against all but essential travel abroad, or no travel at all to a country where the risk of covid 19 the risk of covid 19 remains in etc taking this public health action alongside our measures including test and trace and continue social distancing in the long run we will ensure that we can have greater freedom the long run we will ensure that we can have greaterfreedom in the long run we will ensure that we can have greater freedom in the longer term. and of course, madam deputy speaker, that includes international travel corridors, a subject that is already this afternoon be discussed in the house. currently, there should only be a central travel but across government and with the sector we will continue to explore all options for future safe travel. and any international approaches will be bilateral and agreed with other countries concerned. and of course we will need to ensure that these countries are deemed to be safe. we are not alone in our fight are deemed to be safe. we are not alone in ourfight against are deemed to be safe. we are not alone in our fight against this disease or in the measures we have taken to stop it. madam deputy speaker, these measures are backed by science unsupported by the public and are essential to save lives. we know that they will prevent difficulties for the tourism industry but that is why we have an unprecedented package of support, the most comprehensive in the world, for employees and for business. but we for employees and for business. but we will all suffer in the long run if we get this wrong. and that is why it is crucial that we introduce these measures now. let us not throw away our hard won progress in tackling this virus. and first and foremost, we owe it to the thousands of people who died and we owe it also to the millions of people across the whole of the united kingdom who sacrifices over the previous month in

killing of an unarmed black man by police. when you do not deal with these conditions of inequities and racism and white supremacy in a nation, these are the kind of things that happen. people write, that their language, that s their frustration. people riot. western countries condemn china s planned new hong kong security law, saying it threatens basic freedoms. targeting twitter president trump signs an executive order aimed at social media companies. easing the lockdown in england and scotland, where people can gather in groups from monday. welcome to bbc news. the us city of minneapolis is bracing for a third night of unrest, following the death of george floyd who was an unarmed black man who died as he was being held to the ground by police. the usjustice department and the fbi say they re giving top priority to their investigation into the killing. let s cross to live pictures we have been following over the last couple of hours. initially we saw a peaceful road test, people marching down busy roads, these are the scenes live on the streets on day three. dozens of protesters have smashed windows and offices. the minnesota governor, tim walz, said he s called in the national guard to help keep order. now, community leaders also called for calm after police fired tear gas at rioters and looting took place at some stores on wednesday night. you can see the rather chaotic scenes here again for the third night ina scenes here again for the third night in a row. there have been protests across the country as well, police being the main focal point of the protests. the police chief has apologised to the family of the victim, george floyd. you may have seen the video which showed him saying he couldn t breathe as a police officer now on his neck. four police officers have been fired. nada tawfik has more. america s long and painful history of police brutality has always been an open wound. chanting: don t shoot! in minneapolis, for the second day, demonstrators spilt into the streets after the death of george floyd their protests an outlet for the emotional trauma of watching unarmed black men die at the hands of the police year after year. chanting: george floyd! but as the night wore on, the peaceful chants were drowned out by violence. as the unrest spread, a rush of people began looting and vandalizing property. for hours at this store, crowds took down the aisles, stealing electronics and other goods. the anger turned into a night of fires that engulfed the lake street neighbourhood. it s unfortunate. it s sad. if people are there, truly there to honour the memory of the deceased and the family, this isn t how you do it. police said the 46 year old was arrested for allegedly using counterfeit money and had resisted officers, but video footage of the start of the encounter bore little resemblance to that official account, and then this moment which has left many sickened. a white police officer identified as derek chauvin knelt on george floyd s neck for more than seven minutes, even as he repeatedly said, i can t breathe. i cannot breathe! you are resisting arrest. new details are emerging about what happened once paramedics arrived. they found him unresponsive and without a pulse. for nearly an hour in the ambulance, they tried to revive him, but he was later pronounced dead at the hospital. chanting: we can t breathe! everyone! chanting: we can t breathe! yeah! activists are keeping up the pressure, calling for the immediate arrest of the four officers to face criminal charges. joining them was the mother of eric garner, a man who died under similar circumstances in 2014 in new york. the police officers come into our neighbourhoods. they brutalise, they terrorise, they murder our children, and we have done nothing. minneapolis is still smouldering from the chaos, and the city is preparing for more unrest even as george floyd s family calls for calm. nada tawfik, bbc news. so that has brought you up to date with how we got here. i want to take you back live now. these aerial shots of minneapolis, you can see that huge building on fire, fire trucks around there as well. this is note number three of these protests that have turned violent night number three of those protests that have turned violent. this is on the ground level, a separate shot on the ground of the chaotic scenes at the moment. police have fired tear gas. we have seen have fired tear gas. we have seen live pictures nearby a minnesota police station. lots of protesters. windows have been smashed, thrown stones at the offices, it is a chaotic scene. and this is exactly what community leaders hoped to avoid. there was calm throughout the day today, calls for calm throughout the day today from city officials, state officials, community leaders of wanting to avoid violence, avoid essentially a repeat of yesterday s violence and looting. that doesn t seem to have happened. you can see armed police there. the national guard reporting to try and quell this and calm this. it hasn t happened. a reminder, the point of these protests is because of the death of george floyd at the hands of four police officers. one police officer had his knee on his neck on the ground and he died. huge anger in the community. the four officers have been fired but there are calls now for those four officers to be arrested. that hasn t happened, but there are several investigations under way. federal investigation is under way. and we heard from officials earlier on that those investigations will happen as quickly as possible, they will be as thorough as needed, but that hasn t capped lots of community activists happy kept. a short time ago i spoke to dr bernice a king daughter of martin luther king and asked her if if people were happy with the fbi s investigation into the death of george floyd. well, as far as i m concerned, they can continue their investigation, but they have enough on probable cause to arrest the officers. that is the problem right now. and the frustration that people are feeling and the anger that these officers are still out there and they have committed a crime, regardless of what the investigators are saying at this particular point, it s very evident, looking at the video. so they ve been fired, but that isn t enough for you right now? no, no. i mean, firing does nothing. they could get theirjob back if there isn t a conviction. so firing means nothing. at this point, again, we need to see the wheels ofjustice rolling by having an immediate arrest. the mayor has called for that arrest, so many people have called for that arrest, people calling in unison there is enough probable cause to have these gentlemen arrested. an we have seen protests three days in a row. is it your sense that these protests will continue until an arrest is made, if one is? yes, because people are past the boiling point. we have been living under oppressive conditions as an african american community since we have been in this country. and people are fed up. i mean, they are at a tipping point and it is beyond boiling point. while i advocate always for the non violent way, i believe in it, i think it is the only way to a true, just, humane and peaceful society, the fact of the matter is. sorry to interrupt. given you have said that, what is your reaction, then, to what we saw last night? the violence and the rioting? what did you make of that? as i said, you know, i m focusing less on the rioting. i understand the pain from which it comes, i don t condone it, i don t support rioting. however, the conditions that have led to rioting is what the focus should be on, as opposed to merely just the riots. you know? in other words, peace comes through notjust the absence of the tension, but the presence of justice. and so if the wheels ofjustice are in order and the process goes, you will see less of that. and what you think your father would make of what s going on right now in 2020? i mean, he already said, he explained this in 1966, 67, when riots happened in los angeles. he said, look, when you don t deal with these conditions of inequities and racism and white supremacy in the nation, these are the kind of things that happen. people riot, that is their language, that is their frustration because we not addressing those things a nation. well, let s address some of those things now, then. what systemic changes do you think need to take place before we re covering another story like this next week, next month? well, let s be let s deal with reality first. something like this is probably going to happen again. but the energy now has to be that we organise our strength, as my father said, into compelling power to deconstruct and reconstruct the whole criminaljustice system, especially around law enforcement. our legal system and law enforcement system particularly in the south was based in keeping black people in check. and the use of this force and power has been used for generations. so we have to reconstruct our police department so police cannot get away with excessive force. there needs to be laws in place, there needs to be policies in place. we have to look at the whole structure and system around law enforcement and change it. it s going to take time to do that but we need to put our energy into that. and that presumably would require political leadership. what s your message to political leadership in the united states right now? well, you know, you can require political leadership or a groundswell of grassroots organising. most of the time it s grassroots organisations that puts pressure on political leaders. political leaders are oftentimes trying to be politically correct, whether they are republican or democrat or independent. there are very few elected officials otherwise. so it needs to be grassroots putting pressure on. they need to look at the way law enforcement is done in this country. bernice a king. let s bring you some live pictures now from minneapolis where it is dark but people are out. it has just it hasjust gone it has just gone iopm there. we will return if anything develops there. president trump has signed an executive order ta rgetting social media companies. he said companies including google, facebook and twitter had unchecked power to censor and restrict the views of users. it comes after twitter on wednesday tagged two of his posts as being misleading. the president had claimed that postal ballots would lead to voter fraud in this year s election. twitter reacted with this fact check warning, labelling donald trump s post as potential misinformation. mr trump has regularly accused social media platforms of stifling or censoring conservative voices. they have had unchecked power to restrict, edit, hide, alter virtually any form of communication between private citizens a large public audiences. there is no president in american history for so small a number of corporations to control so large a sphere of human interaction. and that includes individual people controlling vast amounts of territory, and we can t allow that to happen. we re joined from washington by daniel lippman, white house and washington correspondent for politico. thank you for being with us. we have an executive order by president trump here. could you expand very quickly and in the simplest terms, what is an executive order, and why is it slightly unusual? so, an executive order is something the president can order government agencies, his own departments, to review different laws and also try to change policy. but this is likely not to get past legally because he can t just likely not to get past legally because he can tjust rewrite laws that congress has written. and have them passed into law. so this is something that is more huffing and puffing because he is mad at twitter for fact checking some of his posts, versus something that will actually accomplish what he wants. thank you for putting that in contact for us. what is he trying to do, whether or not he trying to do, whether or not he succeeds? what he is trying to do is right now, there is a section of us law that basically immunises technology companies from facing lawsuits about content on their websites. it makes it very hard to sue facebook or twitter or google or something that you see on their website that is against you or mentions you or anything. so he is trying to wipe that protection away. the ironic thing is that if he is successful, and he is likely not going to be, that would make technology companies more likely to delete posts pretty quickly to not get lawsuits. a lot of those posts they might have to delete our tweeds that donald trump is posting where he is attacking various people and spreading disinformation. tweets. and spreading disinformation. tweets. and we had a note of caution at the beginning this is likely to be challenged. with this whole incident have much effect at all on the electorate? i don t think the average voter is going to cast their ballot for trumbull abidin based on these pretty technical issue trump or biden. silicon valley investors oi’ biden. silicon valley investors or employees go about this matter, but i think there are a lot of conservatives who feel they have been censored by technology companies or are trying to be politically correct. but i don t think the vast majority of voters are going to care. they are more concerned about the economy, you know, a0 million people have lost their jobs you know, a0 million people have lost theirjobs because of the pandemic and who has the best plan among candidates to bring back the us economy? thank you for that, daniel lippman. thank you. stay with us on bbc news. still to come. using the lockdown on england and scotla nd lockdown on england and scotland will have on the dos and don ts as rules change. in the

called in to quell new protests in the american city of minneapolis, following unrest over the killing of an african american man by police. these are live pictures of the protests under way now. the british foreign secretary, dominic raab, says he s going to make it easier for some hong kong citizens to move to the uk unless china reconsiders implementing its new national security law on the territory. the us, canada, australia and the uk released a joint statement saying the law, designed to criminalise acts of subversion, would curtail individual liberties. our correspondentjohn sudworth reports from beijing. as they arrived for the closing day of parliament, beijing s tiananmen square was quiet. there are no protests over lockdowns here. inside, china s president had a spring in his step, the virus under control is seen as vindication for him and for a system untroubled by messy democratic debate. there can be no starker illustration of that than this. a new national security law imposed on hong kong with 2,878 votes in favour and just one against. the fear that any anti china protest might now be classed as subversion has led to an international outcry, including this surprise announcement for the 300,000 hong kongers who hold british overseas passports. if china continues down this path and implements this national security legislation, we will change that status and we will remove the 6 month limit and allow those bno passport holders to come to the uk and to apply to work and study for extendable periods of 12 months and that will itself provide a pathway to future citizenship. the move will infuriate china, which insists its new law will target only a minority of violent demonstrators. translation: the decision adopted is designed for steady implementation of one country, two systems, and hong kong s prosperity. but china is slowly tightening control. as its parliament came to a close in beijing, hong kong s politicians were in disarray over another new law. if passed, it would make disrespecting china s national anthem a criminal offence. john sudworth, bbc news, beijing. borisjohnson has announced a further easing of lockdown in england. he said that from monday, up to six people from different households could meet outside. but he said people should still not meet up indoors, and should maintain social distancing even outdoors. meanwhile, police say his top adviser dominic cummings, who s been at the centre of a political storm after he was accused of breaking lockdown restrictions, may have done so in one minor instance. laura kuenssberg has this report. what will it look like on the other side? the reflections of a new reality slowly starting to appear. a different life after lockdown, as the rules begin to relax. the prime minister made it official today in england the next phase is on the way. i cannot and will not throw away all the gains we have made together, and so the changes we are making are limited and cautious. it s thanks to the caution we ve shown so far that all five tests are being met. that means from monday, as long as you keep your distance, some freedom will return. we will allow up to six people to meet outside, provided those from different households continue strictly to observe social distancing rules. these changes mean that friends and family can start to meet their loved ones, perhaps seeing both parents at once or both grandparents at once. and i know that for many people this will be a long awaited and joyful moment. this is not a click your fingers moment when suddenly things will snap back to normal, and moving safely into a different looking world depends on all of us still respecting the government s keep your distance rules, but could that be more complicated after the last few torrid days? there was an outcry when it was revealed that the prime minister s top advisor travelled from london to durham and made a 60 mile separate journey out of lockdown to the town of barnard castle. the police said today they would have told dominic cummings to go back to his family home, if they had stopped him that day, concluding there might have been a minor breach of the rules. if one of your most senior team wasn t paying proper attention to the rules, why should anyone else? and to the doctors, if i may, is that the kind of example that you want people to follow? durham police said that they were going to take no action, and that the matter was closed, and i intend to draw a line under the matter. you ve asked chris and patrick, but i am going to interpose myself, if i may, and protect them from what i think would be an unfair and unnecessary attempt to ask a political question. it s very, very important that our medical officers and scientific advisers do not get dragged into what i think most people will recognise is fundamentally a political argument. but the pressure on the prime minister won t disappear. nobody should be stopped from answering questions from journalists. but it s the prime minister here who s in issue. he s been too weak throughout this whole episode. he should have acted swiftly. if i d been prime minister, i would have sacked dominic cummings. we have now effectively wasted a week when we should have been concentrating on the safety of what comes next. political dramas pale, of course, next to the loss felt by so many and the true effects on the country that are emerging piece by piece. let s bring you some live pictures now from minneapolis where there are more protests, more violence and clashes have broken out between protestors and police. that huge fire rating there with our building. we don t know who started it or what the motives were. he you can see protesters still on the street. here. we have seen stand off between protesters and police earlier on. people holding up signs, people with their hands in the air. the national guard reported to try to quell any violence, to try to stop a repeat of what happened the night before, but they haven t been successful. it has not happened. this is now the third night of protest and clashes. this after the death of george floyd and a number of black man who died when he was being held on the ground by police. a police officer kneeling on his neck. he was saying he could not breathe but was not released. the four officers involved in that incident have all been fired and there is an investigation by the fbi, but no arrest have so far been made. arrests. we will keep you up to date with all the events there in minneapolis. do stay with us. for now though i m lewis vaughan jones stay with us. for now though i m lewis vaughanjones and this is bbc world news. hello. we know this spring has been warm. it s been very dry in some spots. and now news aboutjust how sunny it s been, with the met office saying provisionalfigures indicate that it s been the uk s sunniest spring on record. and with high pressure close by for friday into the weekend, most will stay sunny and dry, warm, very warm, even hot in some spots. in fact, friday, the flow of air around this high pressure as it moves north across the uk will favour parts of scotland to see the uk s high temperature of the day, close to 28 celsius. now, we start the day with temperatures for some in single figures, though they will rise quickly in the sunshine. any low cloud across parts of eastern coastal england will disappear, along with any misty low cloud around the murray firth in scotland. orkney brightening up, shetland staying mainly cloudy. but for most of the uk, it s sunshine all the way. it is now a prevailing east southeastly breeze. and that means that east facing coasts will see temperatures towards the teens rather than the low to mid 20s across the bulk of the uk, and, again, nudging the upper 20s in the hottest parts of scotland. temperature not the only thing high. uv levels as well. strong may sunshine. do take care if you re outside for any period of time. and pollen, moderate to high for many of us, as grass pollen levels are on the increase. now, friday looks like a fine evening, plenty of sunshine to end the day. again, temperatures will head down overnight, so if you do try to cool the house down overnight, we re expecting some spots, again, tojust dip down into single figures. and a largely sunny start to saturday morning. and again, just to show you the big picture, it s high pressure maybe just pushing out towards scandinavia, but it is still blocking weather fronts that would give us some rain otherwise from getting to us from the atlantic. so, on saturday, there may be a bit of patchy cloud developing here and there, the sun may turn hazy in some spots, but for most, it s a sunny story, a brighter one in shetland as well. still the breeze keeping some eastern coastal parts cooler than elsewhere. again, we re talking widely in the low to mid 20s. and then on sunday, again, some patchy cloud developing here and there, but for most places, it will be sunny, it will be dry, it will be very warm. just a hint of something cooler at the end of next week.
this is bbc news. the headlines: the national guard has been called in to help restore order in the american city of minneapolis which has now seeen its third night of violence and unrest. crowds have been protesting against the killing of an african american man at the hands of the police. the state governor said he took the decision following widespread rioting on wednesday. the united states, britain, canada and australia have issued a joint statement warning that china s national security law in hong kong would curtail individual liberties there. they said it raised the prospect of people being convicted of political crimes and would make existing tensions worse. president trump has signed an executive order targeting social media companies, after being angered by twitter tagging two of his posts as potentially misleading. the measures limit the legal immunity the companies have against being held liable for what people post on their platforms. for two and a half months, streets across the uk have been

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 >

reporter: across the country police tactics under scrutiny. l.a. s police chief sparking outrage after suggesting looters were as responsible for george floyd s death as those fired police officers. we didn t have people mourning the death of this man, george floyd. we had people capitalizing. his death is on their hands as much as it is those officers. reporter: the chief later apologizing, calling his own words terribly offensive. today l.a. officers kneeling with protesters at a faith-based march. at times police torn between patrol and protest. this officer in d.c. seen trying to kneel only to be repeatedly pulled to his feet by his fellow officers. in detroit, 16-year-old organizer stefan perez has been urging his fellow demonstrators to abide by the city s curfew. they re home safe. they don t got rubber bullets. they don t got tear gas. they re not dead. reporter: the mayor calling to thank him. i saw your leadership. i have tears in my eyes. you are everything that is special about the city of detroit. that young protester telling others to go home. stephanie, we see the large crowd behind you. we also know the curfew goes into effect a short time from now, 8:00 p.m. a lot of said they r not concerned about that. reporter: that s absolutely right. thousands are marching across the streets of new york city. you cane very difficult to enforce the new curfew. this group, we ve been following them for several blocks. they just got started a little while ago. stephanie, thank you. now to the fallout from the president s visit to st. john s church just after we were on the air last night. the police firing at peaceful demonstrators, apparently to clear the way for the president. we ve learned it was attorney general william barr who gave the order. here s jonathan karl. reporter: as president trump rode through washington today, citizens, including families with homemade signs, jeered the presidential limousine. [ booing ] tc were in the motorcade #icantbreathe. today, outrage is growing over the forceful removal of peaceful protesters to clear the way for the president to hold a photo op at st. john s church. it all began shortly after 6:00 p.m., the hour before washington s curfew took effect. the protesters had gathered just a block from the white house gate. as the president prepared to speak in the rose garden, our camera spotted attorney general bill barr surveying the scene. abc news has learned the attorney general then gave the order to remove the protesters by force. and so it began, continuing even as the president was saying these words. i am your president of law and order and an ally of all peaceful protesters. reporter: you could hear the explosions from the rose garden. smoke canisters, and pepper balls to force the protesters away. among those roughed up an australian tv crew. the photographers hit in the face. his colleague hit with a baton as she tried to flee. after he was done speaking, the president, accompanied by top advisers, walked to st. john church, crossing the street where protesters had gathered less than an hour earlier. in front of the church, the president held up a bible. is that your bible?
