the value of her cosmetics business. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world and stay with us for the latest news and analysis from here and across the globe. there have been violent scenes across the united states — in response to the death of a black man, george floyd, in police custody. protestors have broken an overnight curfew in minneapolis after several nights of unrest. and there have been demonstrations in washington dc and los angeles. george floyd, who was not armed, died on monday after a police officer, derek chauvin, who is white, was shown in footage kneeling on his neck. the officer has been sacked, arrested and charged with murder. let's get a sense of how widespread the protests are.

demonstrations have taken place all across the united states — from the east coast to west coast. of course, minneapolis has seen widespread unrest , but los angeles and new york have seen scenes of violence and peaceful protest. atlanta, houston, louisville and denver are just some of the places that have also seen protests. this is the scene live in minneapolis where protestors are still on the streets and the national guard are helping put out fires. 0ur correspondent barbara plett—usher has sent this report from minneapolis. minneapolis is under curfew. but the city is still burning. 0utrage over the police killing of an unarmed black man has consumed people here for four days with a street protest and also arson and looting. the state deployed that national guard to restore order and local officials moved unusually quickly to charge the police officer with third—degree

murder and manslaughter. he is the one in the video kneeling on that neck of george floyd for nearly nine minutes while george floyd cried out again and again that he could not breathe. and then stopped moving. the governor of minnesota has said he expects swift justice but the question is whether that will be enough to quell the rage that was ignited here and is now spreading across the country. america is looking at a long, tense weekend. the protests have spread and grown. in los angeles demonstrators clashed with police officers. in manhattan they marched also in memory of eric garner, a new york man who gasped for air in a police chock—hold before he died. and in atlanta at one of the countries biggest protests turned violent, angering the mayor. what i see happening on the streets of atlanta is not atlanta.

this is not a protest. this is not in the spirit of martin luther king junior. this is chaos. the white house was under lockdown late friday evening. earlier mr trump gave his first extensive remarks on the protests. can‘t allow a situation like happened in minneapolis, to descend further into lawless anarchy and chaos, and we understand that very well, it is very important i believe to the family, to everybody, that the memory of george floyd be a perfect memory. america is reeling. in the middle of a pandemic, suffering its worst economic crisis since the great depression, and now once again watching its racial fault lines explode. in the last few hours, the mayor of the city minneapolis spoke at a news conference and made

an impassioned plea for calm: if you care about your community you have got to put this to an end, it needs to stop. you are not getting back at the police officer that tragically killed george floyd by looting a town. you are not getting back at anybody. if you have a friend or a family member who is out right now, call them, tell them to come home. it is not safe. it is not right. if we care about our city let's do the right thing now. well, downtown los angeles has seen protests as well — police declared an unlawful assembly order in the hope that protestors would clear the area.

thanks forjoining us, what is happening there? we have seen lawlessness in the streets of downtown los angeles. we saw the police saying there is an unlawful assembly, meaning get out. then we have seen looting in several different stores, violent clashes between the police and some of those protesters. 0bviously, between the police and some of those protesters. obviously, we also have seen some protesters that were not so seen some protesters that were not so violent, but unfortunately there has been this violent aspect of it. some of them anarchists that they are in the midst of all the other black lives matters protesters, causing problems, night after night of protests, this last night things escalated into a level of violence we haven't seen before. aside from the overnight violence, the most peaceful protest, what is the message of them and the message

coming from other sources over the course of the last few days? what more do other people want to see? we know that the police officer involved, with his knee on the neck of george white, has now been charged with murder. what more do they want? —— george floyd. he was charged with third—degree murder. there are some people who would like to be charged with more like a second or first—degree to be charged with more like a second orfirst—degree murder. the big thing most protesters are talking about is that three other police were there who stood back —— stood there and did nothing. why haven't they been charged? the projects are cuter in minnesota has suggested they will be charged something in the coming days —— the prosecutor in minnesota. they also point to the fact that if this officer was a civilian and he did what he did to george floyd, he would be charged with a lot more

than third—degree murder, so they are not quite satisfied with that charge either. 0ne are not quite satisfied with that charge either. one of the things we are preoccupied with around the world is social distancing in relation to the virus. the united states already has a terrible virus death toll and economic crisis. they looting, the violence, the destruction but also the risk of infection must be something everybody is worried about now in relation to these protest. the united states has the most dense of any country in the world. 0ver 100,000 deaths now —— the most deaths of any country in the world. in california, slowly starting to reopen, tonight the first night where restaurants were allowed to reopen in downtown los angeles and then you see this looting. many of then you see this looting. many of the protesters a re then you see this looting. many of the protesters are wearing mask, but the protesters are wearing mask, but the very concept of social distancing that everybody has working so hard for four months could essentially be a raised with

what we are seeing on the streets here, or is it? there has been talk about this concept that may be outdoor transmission, there isn't a whole lot of it and this is going to bea whole lot of it and this is going to be a real test of this theory, because all these folks getting real close to each other, the opposite of what we have been told today for the last few months. —— told to do for the last few months. here in the uk, a number of the government's leading scientific advisers have questioned the decision to ease the lockdown in england. members of sage — or the scientific advisory group for emergencies — say ministers are taking risks by allowing the gradual reopening of shops and schools, while there are still thousands of new infections confirmed every day. the government says it has followed the data and evidence at all times. the scientists' warning comes amid fears that this weekend's warm weather will encourage people to ditch social distancing and ignore the rules. charlotte rose has the latest...

ahead of the official easing of lockdown restrictions in england on monday, beaches and beauty spots have already seen increasing crowds. with more hot weather expected this weekend, there are fears some people are ditching social distancing. scots can now meet in groups of up to eight in parks or gardens, but they mustn't enter each other‘s homes and must follow the two—metre rule. sunbathing in parks and outdoor sports will now also be allowed. in wales, an unlimited amount of people from two households can meet up outside from monday, but they must stay within five miles of their own home. people in northern ireland can already meet in groups of up to six, and from june 8th, weddings with a maximum of ten people may be allowed. in england, the government believes they've made positive steps to tackle the virus. we are past the peak, we're flattening the curve. we protected the nhs and the number of deaths is falling. over the coming weeks,

we can now take careful, but deliberate steps to reopen our economy. but scientists who advised the government about the spread of the virus have warned it's too early to be lifting the lockdown. jeremy farrar, the director of the wellcome trust who sits on the scientific advisory group for emergencies, or sage, tweeted last night to say infection rates have to be lower, and the test, trace and isolate system being set up by the government needs to prove it's working before restrictions are eased. and he's not a lone voice. the government here in westminster clearly made a decision that this is the sort of level of incidence that they're willing to tolerate. the uk is reporting something like about 2,000 cases a day, italy, about 300 cases a day, germany, about 400 cases a day. so the level of incidence here in the uk is significantly higher.

yesterday, a further 324 people died with coronavirus, taking the total to 38,161. just one of the stories behind those figures is that of hospital porter mike brown who delivered linen and post around the wards at southampton general hospital. applause yesterday, his colleagues lined the streets to clap his funeral cortege. hundreds came to pay their respects to a man described as down to earth and who liked to make people laugh. mike tested positive for covid—19 last month. he died in the hospital he'd worked in for more than two decades. his story a reminder of why getting the right balance between opening up the economy whilst keeping infection rates low matters so much. charlotte rose, bbc news. i'm joined now by professor devi sridhar, professor and chair of global public health at the university of edinburgh.

she's a member of the scottish government's covid—19 advisory group... thank you forjoining us. there is an emerging row between four, now i think, sage advisory group for the uk government, in terms of the government advice on easing lockdown. where do you stand on thatwith those scientists are with the government in its attempt to gradually ease? i stand with the scientist. it is clear the daily new infections are too high. it is 8000 a day from the new survey, estimated. to try and ease long term such a high number of new cases and this still showing, it's quite risky. obviously the scottish government is in a slightly different position. do you think it will become apparent over time that

that then was a wiser position? hopefully, yes. what we are trying to do in scotland is to try and stay in bog down a bit longer, measures have been relaxed about it —— stay in lockdown. schools are going back in august. we want to bring the case is down to the low hundreds, daily, so the testing system can take over. you want to get away from communities system and —— you want to get away from communities system and -- is the protocol not yet sufficiently robust to justify the easing that is happening in england? to justify the easing that is happening in england ?|j to justify the easing that is happening in england? i don't think it is robust enough. it is not enough to have a directive that will say we will do this, it is how you do it. the purpose in the library. you need test results back incredibly quickly, ideally in hours. you need people complying

with isolation and we have seen that even when symptomatic, people are not complying without tasting at home. you mentioned a moment ago, schools. are you worried about english schools wingback? yes, i think there is a lot of scientific uncertainty around two things, the first is what is happening with the small number of kids who have a delayed reaction to the virus and how many my experiences in the future. the second is around transmission to parents, teachers, grandparents and the wider community. it is a risk and an experiment and one we will have to follow and see how it plays out over the coming weeks. there are calls for the uk government to do more to help hundreds of thousands of small businesses and self—employed people who aren't covered by coronavirus support programmes. the chancellor has extended the job retention furlough scheme and support for self—employed workers, while asking employers to pay more from august.

the government says it's talking to every sector of the economy to see where it could offer further help. the headlines on bbc news... violent protests have spread across the united states over the killing by police of an african— american man. scientists advising the uk government warn relaxing the lockdown is still ‘too risky‘ , amdist fears the warm weather this weekend could lead people to ditch social distancing. calls for the uk government to do more to help hundreds of thousands of small businesses and the self—employed who aren't covered by coronavirus support programmes. brazil has reported nearly 27,000 cases of covid—19 in the past 2a hours, a new daily record. the health ministry also announced that more than 1,100 people had died because of the virus in the same period of time. brazil has now surpassed spain

in the total number of virus deaths, with the fifth highest figure in the world. 0ur south america correspondent katy watson is in sao paolo. we are talking 1,124 new deaths in the past 241 hours. it has now surpassed spain in terms of the death toll. we are looking at more than 465,000 confirmed cases of the virus. every day these numbers keep on going up. every day there is some record, sadly, being broken. it comes at a time when sao paulo here, the biggest state, is talking about reopening in some way as of monday, talking about getting back to some kind of normality, introducing protocols to be allowed to get to shopping malls and businesses back up and running. meanwhile, the president has said very little about these figures. he instead these past few days has been more worried about a supreme court investigation

into allegations of fake news, among his supporters, something he calls political. that is the issue at the moment, there is a political crisis in brazil that seems to be taking centre stage, rather rather than the concerning issue, of course, of the pandemic here in brazil. india has recorded its biggest single dayjump in coronavirus cases with nearly 8,000 new infections and 265 five deaths. these latest figures bring the total numbers to over 170,000 cases of infection and close to 5,000 deaths. more than a third of all cases are in maharashtra, one of india's richest states. but despite the rising number of covid—nineteen cases, the government has been easing restrictions the chair of the senate health committee in the united states has

warned that president trump's withdrawal from the world health 0rganization could interfere with clinical trials to develop a vaccine against covid— 19. lamar alexander, who's a republican, also said it could make it harder to work with other countries to stop viruses reaching the us. on friday, president trump announced he was terminating america's relationship with the who. he's accused it of failing to hold beijing to account over the pandemic and said funds will be directed to other areas. people who rent privately in the uk are more likely to be struggling with their housing costs during the pandemic than those who own their homes, according to new research by the resolution foundation. the think tank, which focuses on people on low incomes, says one—in—eight private renters have fallen behind with housing costs. the uk government says it has taken action to support tenants including banning evictions for three months. i'm joined now by lindsayjudge, a principal research and policy analyst at the resolution foundation and author of that report... foundation and author thank foundation and author you for talking to us. explaii some thank you for talking to us. explain

some of yourfindings, thank you for talking to us. explain some of your findings, what struck you the most? as you say, we have been looking at how families have been looking at how families have been managing their housing costs during the crisis. the key finding is the one you just headline, renters and especially private renters and especially private renters a re renters and especially private renters are having a much harder time than those who own their home at the moment. what do you think accou nts at the moment. what do you think accounts for that? is it due to lower incomes or is it due to being laid off more? why is it hitting this particular group? it is a mix of ratings. for a start, owners were ina of ratings. for a start, owners were in a stronger financial position going into this, critically spending less of their housing costs —— income on housing cost. we know homeowners have been much more successful a re homeowners have been much more successful are directly reducing their housing costs. we find in a report that one in seven homeowners have applied for a mortgage holiday, the majority have been successful.

0ne the majority have been successful. one in ten renters had approached their landlord for some kind of respite will only half had been successful. it sounds to me as though it is yet another indicator of growing inequality as a result of this pandemic, a gloomy conclusion and itself, but was there anything in your investigation that surprise you? i think one of the really striking things is that we found, across the board, across all ten yea rs, across the board, across all ten years, the most common way of dealing with housing cost pressures at the moment is to cut back on other expenditures. 0ne at the moment is to cut back on other expenditures. one of the most striking findings, if the court of private renters who reported cutting back, half of those were saying they could no longer afford basics, fresh fruit and veg everyday, a little bit of money away for savings, and that isa of money away for savings, and that is a really worrying finding. do you draw any policy implications from the i think we have to recognise that the number one backs up a private renters in situations like this is the benefit system. when

they are successful... when their success by getting benefits, that we cover the totality of their rent. however, lots of them won't be successful, they won't be eligible 01’ successful, they won't be eligible or if they do get through the benefit system, they may not find all their rent covered. the government should be thinking about two things at this time, about listening the benefit system to allow more private renters to access help, and the second thing perhaps —— loosening the benefit system. it should be giving guidance about how to deal with the rent arrears, we don't want to see evictions. there has to be some kind of mechanism to help people roll over arrears or be given rent holidays during this crisis time. reality tv star kylie jenner has been removed from forbes magazine's list of billionaires. the publication, which declared her a self—made billionaire last year,

has accused her family of going to "unusual lengths" to present her as being much richer than she actually is. this report from simonjones contains flash photography. a social media sensation, but it was her success as a businesswoman with her cosmetics company that led forbes to add kyliejenner to its rich list last year. some eyebrows were raised when it described her as the world's youngest self—made billionaire. she grew up at as a member of the kardashian family, who have their own reality tv series and more than 500 million followers online. but forbes has now been re—doing its sums. its conclusion on twitter, kylie jenner is no longer a billionaire. it says the sale of more than half of her cosmetic business revealed its value had been significantly inflated. she has hit back, where else? social media saying... she added...

in case you are wondering, forbes now estimates her net worth as being just under $900 million. a prototype rocket developed by elon musk‘s company spacex has exploded during testing in texas. the rocket is being designed to take heavy payloads to the moon and mars for nasa. there are no reports of any injuries. the blast was not connected to the planned launch later today of the organisation's first crewed mission. while the world races to find a vaccine for covid—19, many countries are using contact tracing to help reduce the spread of the virus. your questions about contact tracing will be answered by two leading public health and tracing analysts. you can send your questions by emailing yourquestions@bbc.co.uk or you can use the hashtag bbc your questions — and we will answer your questions at 3:15 in the uk, that's 14:15 gmt.

now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. more at the same, more blue sky and sunshine, more dry weather, more very warm weather. this comes after what has already been the sunniest spring on record. 0ver what has already been the sunniest spring on record. over 570 hours on average of sunshine across the uk. the wins and high pressure flow in a clockwise direction, feeding a fairly cool easterly breeze across her shoulders. that breeze particularly notable close to the east coast of scotland —— across our shores. we are expecting sunshine,

plenty of it through the rest of today, but those easterly winds just tempering the feel of the weather for some eastern coasts. we can see that any temperatures, 16 degrees in aberdeen, 24 in inverness. many parts of northern and western scotla nd parts of northern and western scotland will be very warm indeed. some of these north sea coast of england, 15 they're in scarborough, come further west and it is 25—26, likely. the temperature has no bearing on the strength of the sun. whether it is cool or very warm you are, high uv levels across most parts of the uk. 0vernight, clear and starry skies although there could be some lumps of low cloud and fog that roll inland from the north sea. 0vernight temperatures generally between eight — 13 degrees. into tomorrow, plenty of sunshine to be had. most of the

early fog clear, could keep some murky conditions for some north sea coast, a chance tomorrow for some patchy fair weather cloud. highest temperatures in the western side of the uk, 23 in glasgow, 26 in cardiff. some are likely to get to 27 degrees. into next week things start to change. high pressure close by but this frontal system will push on from the north, bringing some rain. also the chance of some showers and thunderstorms to drift up showers and thunderstorms to drift up from the near continent. an increasing chance of rain as we head to next week, even down towards the south. it is also going to turn a 00:28:37,646 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 bit cooler.
