this is bbc news, i'm mike embley with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. a warning from president trump that he will deploy the army to end the widespread protests across the country triggered by the death in police custody of the unarmed african american man, george floyd. if a city or a state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents, then i will deploy the united states military, and quickly solve the problem for them. in minneapolis, the official post—mortem examination finds the death was a homicide. the victim's brother tells demonstrators, violence would not bring the changes, the black community deserves. my family is a peaceful family, my family is god fearing.

let's do this another way. let's stop thinking that our voice don't matter, and vote! protests against police brutality continue, at least a0 cities and washington dc have imposed cu rfews, with a heavy police presence at the white house. moments after he threatened to deploy "thousands and thousands" of us troops against the protests and riots that have engulfed dozens of american cities, president trump has been on an extraordinary walkabout through downtown washington dc. he eventually stopped for photos, holding a bible, in front of the so—called church of presidents, damaged in the disturbances. a peaceful protest outside the white house was tear—gassed

by police, to clear the president's path. earlier he'd told state governors they must dominate the protests and get much tougher. the death of george floyd, in minneapolis, which sparked the latest unrest, has now officially been declared a homicide. the following measures are going into effect immediately. first, we are ending the riots and lawlessness that has spread throughout our country. we will end it now. today, i have strongly recommended to every governor to deploy the national guard in sufficient numbers that we dominate the streets. mayors and governors must establish an overwhelming law enforcement presence until the violence has been quelled. if a city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents,

then i will deploy the united states military and quickly solve the problem for them. i am also taking swift and decisive action to protect our great capital, washington, dc. what happened in this city last night was a total disgrace. as we speak, i am dispatching thousands and thousands of heavily armed soldiers, military personnel and law enforcement officers to stop the rioting, looting, vandalism, assaults, and the wanton destruction of property. we are putting everybody on warning, our 7 o'clock curfew will be strictly enforced. those who threaten innocent life and property will be arrested, detained and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. i want the organisers of this terror to be on notice that you will face severe criminal penalties, and lengthy sentences injail.

this includes antifa and others who are leading instigators of this violence. one law and order. and that is what it is — one law. we have one beautiful law. and once that is restored and fully restored, we will help you, we will help your business and we will help your family. america is founded upon the rule of law. it is the foundation of our prosperity, our freedom and our very way of life, but where there is no law, there is no opportunity. where there is nojustice, there is no liberty. where there is no safety, there is no future. we must never give in to anger or hatred. if malice or violence reigns, then none of us is free.

i take these actions today with firm resolve and with a true and passionate love for our country. by far our greatest days lie ahead. the official post mortem examination of george floyd has declared his death a homicide, as a result of compression to the neck while being restrained. the official report was published shortly after an examination commissioned by the floyd family, concluded he died from asphyxiation. earlier, his brother, terence, spoke at the scene of his arrest. in every case of police brutality, the same thing has been happening. y'all protest, y'all destroy stuff and, if they don't move, nobody don't move, because it's not their stuff, it's our stuff? so they want us

to destroy our stuff. they're not going to move. let's do this another way. terrance let's do this another way. floyd they're speaking terrance at let's do this another way. floyd they're speaking terrance at the let's do this another way. floyd they're speaking terrance at the scene let's do this another way. floyd they're speaking terrance at the scene of let's do this another way. floyd they're speaking terrance at the scene of his let's do this another way. floyd they're speaking terrance at the scene of his arrest. let's do this another way. floyd they're speaking terrance at the scene of his arrest. we let's do this another way. floyd they're speaking at the scene of his arrest. we can let's do this another way. at the scene of his arrest. we can let's do this another way. take at the scene of his arrest. we can let's do this another way. take you at the scene of his arrest. we can let's do this another way. take you to at the scene of his arrest. we can let's do this another way. take you to some at the scene of his arrest. we can let's do this another way. take you to some live can take you to some live pictures let's do this another way. can take you to some live pictures let's do this another way. now can take you to some live pictures now around denver, la and minneapolis, big protests going on and all those cities and many others, and in dozens of american cities despite the implementation or at least the ordering of more than a0 cu rfews, ordering of more than a0 curfews, it ordering of more than a0 cu rfews, it is ordering of more than a0 curfews, it is clear that people are not responding, it is not at all clear what the police on the national guard or indeed, as president from threatens, the military are going to do about that, but certainly protests are still very much under way. the bbc‘s peter bowes

has the latest. that is a question, some people wondering whether the president has the authority to deploy the military within the united states, and you are right, that is the clear headline from what he had to say, essentially an ultimatum to state governors around the country. he told them to use the national guard to clear the streets and if they didn't get the job done he would then deploy the us military, but we have also heard about that extraordinary walkabout that is now being quite widely criticised. he went to stjohn‘s episcopal church, sometimes described as the church of the presidents, just outside of the grounds of the white house, minutes earlier, that area had been cleared of peaceful protesters using teargas and rubber bullets that were fired on that crowd. heavy security presence, the police and the military in order to achieve that and a lot

of people wondering at the time why it was happening so hurriedly. clearly, it was because the president was about to go to that church and now we are hearing from the bishop responsible for that church, from the diocese of washington, and she said that she was outraged at what the president did. she said she didn't get any warning that the area would be cleared using teargas, so that the president could use the church, he stood outside holding the bible, she said so that he could use the church as a prop. she said the first she heard about it was when she saw it on television, and those sentiments being reflected by others, certainly in social media, so there is the possibility now clearly that that action, that walkabout, that visual stunt, as some people are describing it as, could well backfire on the president.

and the new york times reporter, who has usually very good contacts within the white house, saying she can confirm that he did it because he was fed up, upset at reports of him hiding in the white house bunker? yes, much is being made of that, the fact that a couple of nights ago, when the tensions really began to rise outside of the white house, that he was apparently taken to the bunker for about an hour or so, within the white house, and that he didn't like the fact that that had been reported and that what had happened over the last couple of hours, standing in front of the church with the bible, was in some way a response by the president to the fact that it was being reported, that he had had to go into the bunker at the white house. let's ta ke let's take you back to scenes of minneapolis, protests in dozens of minneapolis, protests in d oze ns of of minneapolis, protests in dozens of american cities happening, despite the presents

of police and curfews. the debt has been declared a homicide and the officer who knelt on his neck will appear in court. president trump has been telling state governors they must dominate the protests and get much tougher. he called for the national guard to be turned out and then threatened to display thousands and thousands of us troops against the protesters. it is not clear how he could do that, there is talk he could do that, there is talk he may need to invoke the insurrection act and he also may not be able to do it unless governors themselves request the troops. more on that to come. there's broad agreement that america has not witnessed racial unrest on this scale since the late 1960s, following the assassination of martin luther king. the circumstances in which george floyd died, and the highly charged response, have shown once again the deep mistrust and hostility felt by millions of african—americans towards the police. 0ur correspondent nick bryant

puts the events of the past week into a wider historical context. the words "state of emergency" seem inadequate to describe what's happening in america right now. not since the assassination of martin luther king in 1968 have we witnessed such widespread racial turbulence. chanting: black lives matter, black lives matter! if we render these pictures in black—and—white, they'd look like they came from the 60s. # we are not afraid...#. that was the decade when the struggle for black equality achieved such landmark success. the civil rights movement pushing for legislation that ended segregation across the american south and guaranteeing voting rights for black americans. but there was unfinished business. police brutality has always been hard to legislate against. african—americans have never achieved equality in pay — a form of income segregation that persists today. the racism is a sore that has been festering over and over and over and over again.

and it's like when the sore is about to heal, the wound is reopened again by incidents like this and you have to start all over again. and the question is, how much can people take? cheering many hoped the election of america's first black president would repair, even heal america's racial breach, but barack 0bama never wanted his time in office to be defined by the colour of his skin. in terms of racial progress, his presidency was less historic than the fact that he became president. this american carnage stops right here and stops right now. he was followed into office by donald trump, whose political rise started when he disputed whether ba rack 0bama was born in america — a groundless accusation. many reasons explain his victory in 2016, but mr trump certainly benefited from a backlash against a black president among some white voters. america is being hit right now by three

simultaneous convulsions. a pandemic that's disproportionately affecting people of colour, an economic shock that's disproportionately affecting people of colour and civil unrest caused by police brutality that disproportionately affects people of colour. racial division is america's default setting. so what we're seeing here is not some aberration, but rather the continuation of an unbroken historical thread. nick bryant, bbc news, new york. stay with us on bbc news, much more to come. the queen and her husband began their royal progress to westminster. the moment of crowning, in accordance with the order of service, by a signal given,

the great guns of the tower. tributes have been paid around the world to muhammad ali, who has died at the age of 7a. outspoken but rarely outfought, ali transcended the sport of boxing, of which he was three times world champion. he was a real fighter and he fought all the way to the end, even through his illness. yes, he did. uefa imposes an indefinite ban on english clubs playing in europe. today is the 20th anniversary of the release of the beatles‘ lp, sergeant pepper's lonely hearts club band, a record described as the album of the century. this is bbc news, the latest headlines: president trump visits the washington church

damaged by protesters, after issuing a stark warning that he will deploy the army to end the demonstrations triggered by the death of the unarmed african—american, george floyd. protests against police brutality are continuing in dozens of cities across the united states, including the nation's capital, washington, where a curfew is now in place. more on the tension and violence in the us, following the death in police custody of george floyd an african—american, in the city of minneapolis. here in the uk the coverage has been watched by millions. i felt like someone had personally attacked me or done something to hurt me personally. a white male police officer kneeling on a black man's neck... triggering is not the right word to use, but there's an internal fire within me that starts to burn like a furnace, and i get angry, i get mad, and i want to do something about it.

chanting: black lives matter! it may have happened thousands of miles away, but the death of george floyd has ignited anger across the globe, including here in the uk. i was disgusted. i still have not been able to watch the full nine minutes. i think it's traumatic. the first thing i think is, what if that was my brother, my boyfriend, my husband, my dad. this is not the first time a violent altercation between the police and african—americans has gone viral on social media. and viewing these graphic images can take its toll. sometimes, even as black people, even though we are shocked, we are also desensitised to it. any other person wouldn't even be able to watch all of that video. there was a period, i think it was 2015, there was a period in time when there was people dying literally every week and it was, "i can't breathe, don't shoot, "i've got my hands up." doing something really innocuous and it was maybe four or five incidents in the space of three months

and at the end of that, the person that i started to become was just angry. you can feel emotionally and physically hurt even though it happens to someone, or may happen to someone across the other side of the world. but this is notjust a debate about the death of george floyd. it has sparked a conversation about institutional racism globally. strangulation is how you would best describe it, because a system of oppression isn't something that is sort of a quick assault — it happens over time, and it keeps a chokehold over people. it's scary, really, because again, when we come over to the uk, it almost feels like racism and the idea of seeing black people as lesser is sort of brushed under the carpet. in the uk, it was only recently that we were discussing the statistics in regards to bame workers on the front line, front line workers from bame backgrounds, who were dying. if black people are never afforded

the position to feel comfortable, to just say, "we're black and this "is what we are going through, nothing will change. the views of sefas ending that report by our correspondent shamaan freeman—powell. england has seen the biggest relaxation of the lockdown since it was imposed 10 weeks ago. there has been criticism from some scientists that this is too much too soon. here's our health editor hugh pym. enjoying new freedom in england today to meet outdoors in larger groups with social distancing. the rules in wales changed today as well. scotland and northern ireland have already loosened the guidelines on meeting outdoors. so as the restrictions are eased, how will the authorities monitor the spread of the virus and try to keep it in check? a full testing and contact tracing system is seen as essential. as well as testing people, ministers say tracking down recent contacts of those who test positive will be vital to stopping the spread of the virus. contact tracers have been appointed and the system launched,

but already there are concerns. 0ne contact tracer who wanted to be anonymous told us he had been given very little work since the launch last thursday. we've heard reports from some contact tracers that, since they started work in england last thursday, they've had very little, if anything, to do. what do you think is actually happening with the system? we've hired, as you all know, 25,000 people to work as contact tracers. and the level of incidence of disease has come down. so actually, we have more capacity than we need. this is a good thing. they were pressed for the numbers of people so far contacted and said those figures would be available soon.

that's the virus reproduction number. then there's the r — that's the virus reproduction number. this shows how fast the virus is spreading. anything above one is when an individual is infecting more than one other person. the aim is to keep it below that, which means the virus is receding. the latest official estimate is a range between 0.7 and 0.9, which doesn't leave much headroom. data on infections and deaths will be closely scrutinised. the daily number of new cases has been falling. the line shows the rolling average — that's the trend — though that does not include people who have not been tested. that's thousands more. the figure for reported deaths has also been coming down steadily, but the rolling average has stalled in the last few days. in the last week or two, we have seen a relatively persistent steadying of the death numbers and a very long tail of this epidemic curve, if you like. we'll be watching closely to see if that is maintained and persistent or if even that increases

in coming weeks. an extra aa5 deaths have been added to the total because of delayed reporting in previous weeks. 0ne health leader has said this is a dangerous moment — and easing of lockdown measures should be painstakingly slow, as scientists watch developments. hugh pym, bbc news. cultural and tourist sites across europe and around the world are opening back up after months of lockdown, with delighted locals returning to the attractions. but it's not all business as usual, as reged ahmad reports. bathed in green, white and red — the night before rome's ancient colosseum is finally due to reopen after months of lockdown in italy. and in the morning, people line up to see inside the famous tourist attraction. but things have changed. masks are mandatory and temperatures are checked. local visitors, though, are thrilled to be back. translation: yes, it's emotional,

because it's a rebirth after a very difficult time for italy and all the world. famous tourist sites across europe are opening up, keen to be back in business after the coronavirus lockdown, such as this iconic tourist attraction in france's loire valley, where social distancing rules are also in place. book—lovers got a taste of freedom too, with finland's vast and iconic helsinki central library allowing people back in to peruse the shelves. istanbul's grand bazaar in turkey, with its nearly 600—year history, was closed for months. it opened back up with fanfare — the shopkeepers and spice traders to sell their wares again. but they also need the international tourist dollar to come back. translation: we have completed necessary preparations and we are waiting for customers from abroad. our business is dependent on tourism. and as museums and cultural

sites open their doors in the northern hemisphere, in the southern hemisphere, some return to normality too — as australia's taronga zoo in sydney welcomes back visitors and the state's main art gallery allows people to once again walk among its prized acquisitions. there is relief as economy started to whir back to life, but there will be concerns too about safety and the threat of a second wave of infections. for now, though, these moments are a welcomed respite. reged ahmad, bbc news. with football leagues beginning to restart around the world, teams face playing matches in empty stadiums. coronavirus restrictions mean many fans will still be unable to attend the game, so in response, clubs have been creating innovative new ways to keep the involved, including a danish ‘drive in' stadium. matt graveling reports. never before have drivers

celebrated getting a parking ticket but for these fans of a danish club, their ticket gives them a space at the ground when them a space at the ground when the game goes on inside. it is not a normal match day experience. i think it is a very nice arrangement to show the players and the club that their supporters still are there, even though it is coronavirus time. teams currently face empty stadiums but thanks to giant screened an commentary on car radio, fans we re commentary on car radio, fans were able to follow the marriage. of course, it is best to watch in the stadium but this is the second best thing to do. this is nice, we can come here and support the team. as football continues to kick off around welcome innovation is ensuring fans can still play a part. on thursday, a virtual

grandstand so fans could dial in on zoom. in belarus, this slightly lower tech solution, allowed their fans to attend. could this match play in hungary on sunday provide a blueprint for others to follow. what did the players think?m is not great. you miss the fan, the support, the atmosphere. at the support, the atmosphere. at the end of the day, we play for oui’ the end of the day, we play for our supporters and if we do not have them at the centre, it is not the same feeling. the club and its fans remain very much in the driver ‘s seat. matt graveling, bbc news just to take you back to the main story. just after president trump threatened to deploy thousands and thousands of us troops against the protists across american

cities, the protists are still going on, despite more than a0 coaches. those are shots from minneapolis, the site where george floyd was murdered. hello there. on monday, the temperature reached 28 celsius, and it was the warmest day of the year so far in northern ireland. and whilst it's going to be another very warm day for many today, the outlook is for it to turn much, much cooler. what's happening? well, we've been dominated by high pressure for weeks now, which has brought us the warm and sunny weather. the high is retreating into the atlantic, and to the north of that weather front, there is much cooler air. that cooler air will get swept down across the whole of the country later this week as a northerly wind develops. there is likely to be some rain around as well. now early morning, we've got rain across the far north of scotland. otherwise, it's dry, clear, temperatures typically 8—11. and once any early mist and fog patches clear

away from england and wales, it's going to be another sunny, warm day for many places. but we've got rain in northern scotland, where it's cooler, and we could see showers and cloud developing further south across scotland into the far north of england later, and also potentially in northern ireland. so here, temperatures will be 22 degrees. the highest temperatures are likely to be towards the southeast of england, say, 27 in the london area. it will be as windy as it's been over the past few days also. so we've got cooler air heading ourway. there's also going to be some rain in that cooler air, but it could prove rather hit and miss, and of course there were large parts of the country that were extremely dry during may. and we're uncertain as to how much rain there will be on wednesday across east anglia and the southeast of england. maybe a bit wetter across other parts of england and into wales, and probably largely dry in northern ireland and the western side of scotland. but there will be a stronger northerly wind, which will make it feel cooler everywhere. temperatures are continuing to drop away, probably peaking at 20 degrees in the south east.

and those temperatures actually are near—normal, really, for this time of year. given how warm it's been, this is going to be a bit of a shock to the system. move things to thursday, and those temperatures fall even further, perhaps a few degrees below average for this time in june. and on thursday, there'll be a lot of cloud around. it may not be quite as windy. at one stage, it looked like most of the showers will be in the north. now it looks like the showers are moving further south across england and wales. where is the high pressure by the end of the week? it's here, well away from the uk. we're going to be dominated by low pressure, some stronger winds, some cooler air and still the potential of some showers on friday.
