this is bbc news — i'm lewis vaughan jones with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. two people survive as a passenger plane crashes into homes in the pakistani city of karachi — at least 80 are confirmed dead. brazil's supreme court releases a video of the president allegedly admitting to interfering with law enforcement to protect his family. the british prime minister's chief advisor is reported to have broken lockdown guidelines by travelling to his parents‘ home when suffering with coronavirus. president trump demands us state governors reopen all places of worship this weekend.

authorities in pakistan say at least 80 people are now confirmed to have died when a passenger plane crashed into a residential area in karachi. the airbus a320 was enroute from lahore in the north of the country when it came down near the runway — remarkably at least two passengers survived. secunder kermani reports. these are the moments just before the plane crashed to the ground. at the site, panic and chaos. this residential area isjust a short distance away from the airport. rescue workers combed through the debris, looking for surviving passengers and injured locals. this man, head of a major bank, was pulled out from the wreckage alive,

but other families have been left distraught. translation: we pulled out a small child and his mother. they are both alive. then we found two dead bodies on top of the building. there might be a few more bodies up there, with the rest under the plane, but we just don't know yet. the muslim festival of eid is this weekend, and many of those travelling would have been hoping to celebrate with loved ones. siren wails karachi's health workers were already stretched, dealing with coronavirus. the city has been the epicentre of the country's outbreak. a state of emergency has now been declared in all major hospitals. an investigation into the crash is under way. a recording apparently of the pilot's last communications, points to technical problems. there will be questions for airline authorities. there have been other crashes in the past, too.

but first, for dozens of families, instead of eid festivities there will be funerals. secunder kermani, bbc news. brazil's supreme court has authorised the release of a video that reportedly shows brazil's president confessing to interfering with the federal police to help his family. jair bolsonaro sacked the national police chief mauricio valeixo last month, while police have been investigating his son, carlos bolsonaro. let's take a listen. translation: i have tried to change our security people in rio dejaneiro officially, and i wasn't able to. that's over. i won't wait for my family or my friends to get screwed, and because i can't chase someone from security, that is part of the team structure. but i am, if i can't change them, then i will change their boss. and if i can't change the boss, then i'm going to change the minister. our correspondent, katy watson has been following the

situation. the language that has been used in the press is certainly a very tame version of what we have seen in the video. this video was privately shown as part of this investigation of the supreme court, but this video, i mean, it's more dramatic than brazil's telenovelas, brazilians went crazy for watching this, it took down the supreme court website. i mean, it is two hours of shocking comments, notjust from bolsonaro but also from his ministers about pretty much every topic. and the damage it is going to do, well you wonder how long bolsonaro can last in thejob as president. we have heard in this video, and seen in this video, the talk of how he doesn't want to get his family, he doesn't want to screw his family over, and sergio moro pointed out when he resigned asjustice minister, that jair bolsonaro was wanting

to have a police chief more on his side, who could have access to intelligence, and he said that is not how it works, and that is why he left. so this is just damning in every possible way forjair bolsonaro. now to some of the latest developments on the coronavirus outbreak in the uk, and around the world. global health officials say 80 million children are at risk of catching preventable diseases because of the disruptions of vaccination programmes caused by the pandemic. a study has found that the anti—malarial drug that donald trump is taking to prevent covid—i9 has no benefits. hydroxychloroquine is being prescribed by doctors without evidence — scientists say using it may be ill—advised. brazil has become the sixth country to record more than 20,000 deaths, but experts warn the true figure could be much higher. fears are growing that latin america could become the pandemic‘s next epicentre. the spanish government says

lockdown restrictions will be eased in madrid and barcelona from monday. it means restaurants will be able to serve outdoors and gatherings of up to ten people. muslims around the world are preparing to celebrate eid this weekend, marking the end of ramadan. but with social distancing restrictions in place, not every country is able to celebrate as usual. the bbc has confirmed that the british prime minister's senior advisor dominic cummings travelled almost 420km kilometres from london to his parents‘ home in county durham when he and his wife were ill with coronavirus. a source close to mr cummings denied any breach of the lockdown rules, saying the couple needed help with childcare. here's our political correspondent, leila nathoo. it was back on 30 march that we found out dominic cummings had come down with coronavirus symptoms, downing street said at the time he was self isolating at home but tonight the guardian and the mirror newspapers

are reporting that subsequently he in fact travelled to his parents‘ home in durham and police made contact with the family to remind them of the rules around travel. the guidance which was made law just a few days before, said there were only a limited number of reasons why people should be leaving their homes. and if you had coronavirus symptoms yourself, the guidance was and is that you shouldn't be leaving your home at all for at least seven days. now a source close to dominic cummings has confirmed that he did travel from london to durham when he had coronavirus, but says he wasn't spoken to by police, the source says he and his wife stayed in a separate building and the reason they travelled there was because they were both ill and needed help with childcare. now remember there have been other senior figures who have been accused of breaking lockdown rules. scotland's former chief medical officer catherine calderwood had to resign, government scientist professor neil ferguson also had to step down from his role.

0pposition parties tonight are questioning dominic cummings‘ position, it is certainly very awkward for number ten who say they will not comment. anyone arriving in the uk from abroad could face a £1000 fine, that's $1200, if they fail to self—isolate for 14 days. the measures will come in from 8june, to help prevent a second wave of coronavirus infections. with more, here's our transport correspondent, tom burridge. soon, almost anyone arriving into the uk will have to self—isolate for two weeks. most people on this flight from amsterdam into manchester thought it was a good idea. we've just come off a klm flight. it was absolutely jam—packed full of people. and, um, who knows who's got coronavirus? after some confusion, the government now says only people arriving from the republic of ireland will be exempt. medical workers will too, and people like lorry drivers who transport goods. fruit pickers will not

be able to travel away from the place they work. anyone who flouts the new rules could face a £1,000 fine. the home secretary said it was the right time for this measure. and as the transmission rate across the uk falls and the number of travellers arriving in the uk begins to increase, imported cases could begin to pose a larger and increased threat. is it fair to assume now that most summer holidays abroad will not happen this year? this is absolutely not about booking holidays. we have to be clear about, we want to avoid a second wave, and that is absolutely vital. but the travel sector, already battered in the pandemic, will be hit even harder. airlines believe mandatory masks, gloves and temperature checks will be enough to get more flights moving safely again. sadly it's like a lot of borisjohnson‘s strategies — it's make it up

as you go along... the boss of ryanair says the quarantine is: bonkers, and unimplementable. the real issue here is the people arriving into the uk, take for example heathrow and gatwick, then get on the london underground or gatwick express to get into london to wherever they're supposed to isolate, so the whole purpose of isolation is defeated. and this travel agent in surrey currently has no summer bookings. i think it will be the final nail in the coffin for mine and many other businesses, if this continues. i can't realistically see customers necessarily wanting to self—isolate for two weeks after they come back. bilateral deals with countries with low infection rates, known as air bridges, are possible in the future, but when it takes effect on 8 june, the quarantine will be a blanket measure. it will be reviewed

every three weeks. donald trump has commanded state governors to allow houses of worship that were closed because of the coronavirus to reopen this weekend. the us president criticised some state administrations for allowing bars and restaurants to reopen, while continuing to limit places of worship. mr trump threatened to intervene if any governers refused to roll back restrictions. although it is not clear what powers he would have to do that. the governors need to do the right thing and allow these very important essential places of faith to open right now. for this weekend. if they don't do it, i will override the governors. in america we need more prayer, not less. the president isn't alone in taking issue with the approach taken by some state governors.

the minnesota catholic church along with a number of major lutheran organisations have announced plans to defy lockdown orders, following the state's announcements that bars and cafes will begin to resume business, albeit outdoor only. writing to minnesota governor tim walz, the archbishop of st paul and minneapolis said: "the church ‘feels compelled by pastoral need' to allow people to come together over pentecost." the lutheran church— missouri synod cited "an abscence of a timeline or any other assurances that churches would soon reopen". the becket fund for religious liberty is a law firm representing both lutheran and catholic groups in the minnesota case. their executive director, montse alvaradojoins me from washington. thank you for being with us. so clearly these churches who would want to reopen, what other risks though, what are they worried —— aren't they

worried that if they do reopen the coronavirus can continue to spread? i don't think that is the worry that they have. the worry right now is over the parity that is lacking, the equal access that is liking to reopen. if the government is looking to open bars and restau ra nts a nd looking to open bars and restaurants and casinos and beauty parlours and tattoo pa rlours, beauty parlours and tattoo parlours, they should allow churches to do the same. and what about the increased risk of having a lot of people inside, ina of having a lot of people inside, in a location at the same time for a long period of time? that is not the case in some of those other locations. these are the risks that eve ryo ne these are the risks that everyone is taken very seriously. actually that is the same risk that everyone is evaluating in these locations. when you have businesses that are opening at 50% capacity, that could really be a lot of people, 50 people, hundreds of people, 50 people, hundreds of people, and you are looking at these churches who have been told they can only gather ten people at a time, while businesses are allowed to open up. if that is a reality for businesses, you have to at

least consider that there should be a plan for addressing the number of people that will be able to gather for faithful worship, which receivesjust as much protection in the american constitution as these businesses opening up. the american constitution is based on the rule of law, should churches be saying they will disobey the law, are they suddenly above the law?|j disobey the law, are they suddenly above the law? i don't think they are saying they are above the law at all, if anything these are pastoral pleadings from the catholic church and from the lutheran church and from the lutheran church that submitted safety protocol to the health commissioner and telling them that they had a great outline for ways to keep people safe as their priority, while i also figured out a way to allow them safely and prudently to gather the same way that these businesses are being allowed to gather. but the government governor's office has not given a response and did not partner with them, as they had before in the past, in other things they have partnered and been good partners and figured out ways to stay down with the royal law, but on this particular issue they were

being ignored. just lastly, as a lawyer, were you surprised to hear donald trump saying that hear donald trump saying that he was going to attempt to trample over state split was right here and attempt to intervene? just to clarify i am not a lawyer myself, i do run a law firm but i can tell you, that his announcement of intervening is one that we have seenin intervening is one that we have seen in the past, that the department ofjustice did weigh in on department ofjustice did weigh inona department ofjustice did weigh in on a case in california and another one in mississippi with another one in mississippi with a statement of interest. so it is thejob of a statement of interest. so it is the job of the federal government to ensure the nation's civil rights laws and they have shown up in these cases, and it is not a veiled threat, but when you would think that if states are opening up casinos in bars and tattoo pa rlou rs opening up casinos in bars and tattoo parlours that they would wa nt to tattoo parlours that they would want to be reminding people of the first amendment and the protection forjudges. i cannot imagine that the us would want to be behind france, which is not really well—known for the way that it treats churches and religions. really interesting to talk to you, thank you very much for your time. us democratic candidate

and former vice president joe biden has said in an interview african americans "ain't black" if they vote for president donald trump over him. the controversial exchange happened as radio host charlamagne tha god pressed him about his outreach to black voters. listen, you got to come see us and you have to come to new york. it is a long way until november, we have got more questions. you've got more questions, i tell you, if you have a problem, figure it out, whether you're for me or trump, then you ain't black. it don't have anything to do with trump, i want something for my community. look at my record, man, i extended the voting rights 25 years, i have a record that is second to none. the naacp has endorsed me every time i have run. i mean, come on. take a look at the record. mr biden has since apologised for the comment, insisting he had never taken african american support for granted.

stay with us on bbc news, still to come: lawmakers in hong kong protest against china's new security law, but the territory's leader is backing beijing's right to impose it. the president of india walked to the plane to solemnly witness mist gandhi's final return from the political battlefield. island has voted overwhelmingly in favour of gay marriage. in doing so, it's become the first country in the world to approve the change in a national referendum. it was a remarkable climax to what was it most extraordinary funeral ever given to what was it most extraordinary funeral evergiven toa what was it most extraordinary funeral ever given to a pop singer. it's been a peaceful period of demonstration so far, but suddenly police rt are gassing the crowd. we don't know why.

prelaunch ritual is well—established here. helen is said to be in good spirits, but just a little apprehensive. in the last hour, east timor has become the world's newest nation. the challenges ahead are daunting. but for now, at least, it is time to celebrate. this is bbc news, the latest headlines: a pakistani passenger plane carrying 99 people has crashed into homes in the city of karachi. two people have survived. brazil's supreme court has released a video of the president allegedly admitting to interfering with law enforcement to protect his family. there's been widespread international criticism of the chinese government's plans to introduce tough new national security legislation for hong kong. the us secretary of state, mike pompeo, called the proposals a "death knell"

for the city's freedoms and other critics say beijing would have unlimited scope for arrests and detentions, under laws designed to ban "treason, secession, sedition and subversion." robin brant reports. hong kong has seen a lot of protest in the last year. today, more. this time it was some of the city's lawmakers. they fear that wide—ranging new security laws, imposed by their ultimate rulers in beijing, will be fatal to their freedoms. those rulers — led by this man, president xijinping — watched as millions in hong kong rebelled last year. now, months later, despite another disaster on their hands, they've moved decisively. translation: we will fully and faithfully implement the policy of one country, two systems, under which the people

of hong kong govern hong kong with a high degree of autonomy. we will establish sound legal systems and enforcement mechanisms for safeguarding national security. protesters in the future could face charges of subversion, sedition, terrorism, even aiding foreign interference. and hong kong's elected lawmakers will be bypassed if, as expected, this is simply imposed. china has no shortage of great cities, but what sets hong kong apart from the rest isn't just its different money, its different police and its different court system, it's the autonomy it has — the right to pretty much rule itself day—to—day. some people in hong kong say if you lose that, they will lose their hong kong. bejing, though, sees a different sort of ending. china's leaders think hong kong's autonomy caused this. thousands were arrested last year during months of demonstrations. protesters paralysed parts of the city.

they believe their special status is being eroded by an authoritarian regime. hong kong is calmer now, but further protests are very likely, protests that beijing openly regards as a threat to china's integrity. robin brant, bbc news, shanghai. professor diana fu from the department of political science at the university of toronto is an expert on chinese politics. she was in hong kong in january with a delegation from the national committee on us—china relations. good to you, thanks very much for that being with us. how bad do you think this law will be for hong kong in the eyes of hong kong pro—democracy activists? yeah, i think that this security law is very, very bad news for hong kong as who ca re bad news for hong kong as who care about political and civil liberties. beijing is

essentially declaring that it will define which activities are considered subversive, which activities are considered secessionist, and not the hong kong people and not the hong kong people and not the hong kong government. beijing does not deal very lightly with those in charges with subversion. the mainland china activists charged with subversion are often given long jail sentences. this is a warning for hong kong protesters who could potentially be charged with subversion under state power. carry on, what is the beijing side? i think for beige income of this law is in direct response to months long pro—democracy protests that erupted in hong kong last summerand erupted in hong kong last summer and beijing has called hong kong pro—democracy sentiments a tumour. what do you do with a tumour? you can't let it fester, you have to take surgical action and that's exactly what beijing is doing. if there is a surgical action, is there anyway this won't

happen? is there any action open to people of hong kong who wa nt to open to people of hong kong who want to reject this? i think the options open to hong kong are very limited. you already have activists in hong kong calling for a reboot of the protests, a reboot of the movement, but i think beijing is very prepared to put those down at any cost because it is not pulling any punches this time. it is not even going through the hong kong government to pass this law, it is going directly through the national people's congress. some of the protests and some of the pro—democracy activists i've seen have been calling this essentially the end of hong kong as they know it, is that overdramatic? i think that they have reason to interpret it that way because if this law is passed and if it's enacted, it will fundamentally change the basic law of hong kong and it will change the one country, two systems. ok, we will have

to leave it there but diana fu, thank you very much your expertise in talking us through that. thank you very much. singer mory kante, who helped bring african music to world audiences, has died in guinea. his family say his death was the result of an underlying health condition which had gone untreated, due to coronavirus travel restrictions. freya cole reports. mory kante had a lot of energy on stage, and leaves behind a lasting legacy. he is credited with introducing african music to the world. by blending traditional beats with modern electronic. translation: he valued guinean culture. he lacks the tradition but mixed it with other rhythms, which are so different. his 1987 song was a huge hit in africa before

it found international success, particularly in europe. 0utside his home in mory guinea, dozens of fa ns his home in mory guinea, dozens of fans have gathered to pay tribute to a national legend. his son said his father had chronic illnesses but could no longer travel to france for treatment. his condition deteriorated quickly and his death has been a shock. translation: mory kante will never truly die. his works remain. we're going to continue to spread african culture all over the world. his fight is still alive. mory kante dedicated his life to helping others. hejoined the dedicated his life to helping others. he joined the fight against ebola and was a good will ambassadorfor against ebola and was a good will ambassador for several international organisations. he dared to be different and his music broke barriers for an entire generation who have vowed to continue his hard work. thank you, thank you very

much. freya cole, bbc news. you can reach me on twitter, i'm @lvaughanjones. that's it from me. this is bbc news. goodbye. hello there. we've seen some unusually windy weather for the time of year affecting the north—west of uk in particular. now, on friday, the strongest gust of wind reached a good 60mph across the north coast of northern ireland, into parts of scotland and in north—west wales, we had a gust into the low—70s mph. these strong winds have been bringing large and battering waves to the coastline. many of our beaches are unpatrolled for understandable reasons and with similar rough seas expected this weekend, it's probably best to stay well away. 0n the weekend we have more rain and strong winds next to their slow—moving area of low pressure. the strongest winds always closest to the centre of the low passing just toward scotland, and through the day on saturday, although we start off very windy across the north—west, the isobars begin to slowly space out and the low pressure starts to get a bit less intense through

the afternoon and the winds will start to lose some of their strength. here are the temperatures to start the day on saturday but blustery winds first thing in western scotland, gusts here still reaching a good 60mph and only slowly easing down after that. northern ireland and scotland, scotland looking wet for most of the day and quite cool too. england and wales, some sunshine, we could see the odd shower just about anywhere but won't last long given the windy conditions into the afternoon. 30 or 40mph in wales but still 50mph in northern scotland. cool in scotland, 19 in the sunshine in london. even in the wind, not feeling too bad at all. during saturday night, we do have a bit more rain to come through. that rain tends to ease down as we go through sunday

with brighter conditions are spreading in from the west. a bit more sunshine to come across these western areas, 17 degrees in belfast, but 22 towards the london area and this warming trend to our weather is set to continue into next week as well as this area of high pressure builds towards our south. the sunniest weather will always be across england and wales — mind you, we could probably do with some rain here. the weak weather front will move off the atlantic bringing rain into western scotland and northern ireland, probably not too heavy. it gets quite a bit warmer across eastern areas of england, temperatures reaching the mid—20s, and we could see mid—to—high 20s as we head into the first part of the new week as the weather certainly gets quite a bit warmer. that's your latest weather.

this is bbc news, the headlines: a pakistani passenger plane carrying 99 people has crashed into homes in the city of karachi. officials have so far confirmed 80 deaths, but at least two passengers have survived. the airbus a320 was enroute from lahore when it came down in sight of the runway. brazil's supreme court has authorised the release of a video, that reportedly shows brazil's president bolsonaro confessing to interfering with the federal police to help his family. in a message on facebook, mr bolsonaro said the video did not prove any interference. dominic cummings, a key adviser to the uk prime minister borisjohnson, has been criticisced for breaking lockdown advice to stay at home by travelling to his parents' home while suffering with coronavirus. it's reported he needed help with child care and went into self isolation in a seperate building.
