this is bbc news. i'm sally bundock with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. a stark 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, 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! the music industry observes a day—long blackout in response to george floyd's death, artists and labels say it's to support the fight against racial inequality. facebook staff criticise their bosses for not removing a controversial post by donald trump, about the protests. president trump has threatened to deploy thousands of military and civilian police to stop the rioting and looting which has disrupted cities across the united states for the last week.

the protests follow the death in police custody of george floyd, an unarmed black man. while mr trump spoke at the white house, police used tear gas to disperse protestors in nearby streets. the president then went 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. 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, you know why they 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. our north america correspondent peter bowesjoins me now. peter, so much going on. if we start with president trump, he wa nts to start with president trump, he wants to show he is in control, in charge. he described himself as the president of law & order, and he said he was determined to end the violent protests that have been taking place around the country, we have just had our seventh

place around the country, we havejust had our seventh night here of protest, on dozens of different cities, not tha nkfully different cities, not thankfully on the scale that it has been but there has certainly been some looting in new york city, here in los angeles where many people have been arrested for defying a dusk to dawn curfew and that is what the president wants to end and he laid out a challenge to state governors that if they did not deploy the national guard in great enough numbers to quell the violence, to bring peace to the streets, that he would step in and deploy the military around the country. he would have to use an old, early 19th century law to be able to do that but it would give him the power to send military personnel around the country and it would not be unprecedented but it would certainly be a rare move by a president. and what has this last night been like in terms of comparison to what we saw over the weekend, when of course it was really intense in

terms of the clashes between the authorities and protesters? it has still been intense, certainly in los angeles and different parts of california, and oakland to the north of los angeles and indeed san francisco as well, there have been tense moments on the streets but i was struck looking at what was happening in los angeles and the streets around hollywood. very familiar streets, anyone following the entertainment business, this is happening just a few blocks from where the oscars take place, people lined up along the streets facing the walls with their hands behind their backs because they were defying the curfew which came into force at six o'clock in the evening, goes all the way until brea kfast evening, goes all the way until breakfast time, and those people on the streets it seems no mercy from the police. if you are on the streets you are arrested because you are not supposed to be there. have seen similar scenes in the cities but thankfully not as intense as the riot like conditions we

had over the weekend. what are people saying about the president's walkabout where he ended up in front of the so—called presidents church with a bible for a bit of a photo opportunity? it was certainly a photo opportunity, as you say. holding a bible, he was only therefore a few seconds, long enough for some photographers to take pictures but there has been an angry reaction certainly from the bishop of the episcopal church, saying that she was outraged, as she put it, that the president had chosen to go there, to use it as a prop for political gain, she was particularly outraged that there were demonstrators in that area who were cleared by the police using teargas in the moments before the president went to the church, and she was particularly angry about that. she said she hadn't been given any advance warning about it, in fact she first knew what was happening when she saw it on

television. interesting, thank you, peter. the music industry is to observe a day—long blackout today in response to george floyd's death last week. a number of major record labels, including sony and warner, have announced they are suspending business and working with communities to fight racial inequality. some artists have also cancelled radio appearances and media interviews. let's get more on this blackout tuesday with steve satterthwa ite, he's an artist manager from red light management, a company that will actually be closed today. thank you for being on the programme. tell us why you decided to take part in this?” think the industry as a whole has been outraged on what has happened over the last few days, from last monday. i think we are seeing there is a pause for promotion, releases, social media promotion, and it is

really to help us reflect and come together to denounce racism of any kind, be it institutional, personal, and to use our platforms to promote real change more than just a meme on social media and realising that music can be a great healer and a great vehicle for coming together, it is also, in the big scheme of things, it isjust is also, in the big scheme of things, it is just a is also, in the big scheme of things, it isjust a part. the issue here is much bigger. and in the united states, the music industry has profited greatly from black artist over the decades. this industry really should be one of the forefront and thus, shouldn't it? yeah, 100%. and thus, shouldn't it? yeah, ioo%. black culture has shaped the music business way before i was born. you look at bands like the rolling stones, blues music, hip—hop infiltrating popular culture and popular

culture is all based on black culture. for this predominantly white industry to not be inclusive and not stand behind our black and brown brothers and sisters would be asinine, and sisters would be asinine, andi and sisters would be asinine, and i think it is very important that we need to be trying to promote this cause and educating and working out how we can be better allies for the black community. if you go back as far as motown or even further, music has been critical, hasn't it? when it comes to seeing change and especially in this issue of race. the music, generally, has been a great vehicle for change. same as art and film, you have great festivals, glastonbury was built on peace and social change. the civil rights movement, some amazing art came out of that. so we can't ignore what is happening. everybody is angry and standing behind in the music industry to denounce what happened in

minneapolis on monday, to find peaceful ways, and i think companies and corporations are trying to figure out how to be better and sometimes you need to pause what you are doing to work out how you can help your staff, help your artists, work out how you can help your staff, help yourartists, help the community generally be better at supporting this cause and supporting people of colour. steve, thanks for your time. good to talk to you. let's get some of the day's other news. new cases of ebola have been confirmed in the democratic republic of congo, more than 1,000 kilometres from the centre of the recent outbreak in the east of the country. the health minister said four people had died from the virus. emergency workers are searching for more missing people in el salvador as the country and its central american neighbours pick through the destruction caused by a tropical storm. at least 18 people were killed after storm amanda swept in on sunday

bringing torrential rain, landslides and flooding. el salvador bore the brunt of the damage, but guatemala and honduras were also affected. there have been long queues at petrol stations since dawn in venezuela as drivers began to pay higher gas prices for the first time in the country's history. petrol has been virtually free in the oil—rich state for decades, but crippling us sanctions and mismanagement have led to fuel shortages. the final round of scheduled trade negotiations between eu and uk negotiators begin later. significant differences remain, with the eu accusing britain of failing to meet its commitments, and downing street criticising brussels for imposing new demands. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: friction at facebook as staff criticise their bosses for not removing a controversial post by donald trump.

to flag allegedly infammatory posts by president trump. last week, twitter took the unprecedented move of hiding a tweet from mr trump, which included the lines, "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" in reference to the wave of civil unrest in the us. facebook made clear that it would not be following suit, saying it didn't believe it was itsjob to act as an arbiter of truth. but in the last 2a hours, facebook employees have broken ranks with the company's leadership. one employee wrote on twitter, "allies, we must stand in the way of danger, not behind." another senior employee said explicitly, "mark zuckerburg is wrong and i will endeavour in the loudest possible way to change his mind." dipayan ghosh is a former facebook executive who served as tech advisor to the obama white house. he now leads the digital platforms & democracy project at harvard kennedy school. welcome to the programme. who is right and wrong? twitter or

facebook? this is obviously a very complicated issue and i think it is quite clear actually. i think we are seeing one executive and one company stand for the interests of democracy, and the other stand for its own commercial interest and really i am talking about with versus facebook. i think jack dorothy and twitter have done what is right. speak out against hatred, against violence, against misinformation that can lead to the election rigging we have seenin the election rigging we have seen in the past and the other company is taking an more convenient approach that aligns with its business interests, and that is facebook. which business interests do you mean, though? would you argue that the mood in the vast majority are using facebook or twitter are using facebook or twitter are more in line with the thought process of jack dorsey, so then why is mark zuckerberg

taking the other stance, which is the unpopular start in a sense he will he would get backlash, didn't he?” sense he will he would get backlash, didn't he? ithink sense he will he would get backlash, didn't he? i think he knew he would get backlash, and let's hope that that backlash continues to swell because i think that it might actually force zuckerberg's hand in the right direction. but i think for the time being, and unless the public sentiment rises to such a level, it is in facebook ultimate commercial interest to follow this free speech perspective —— facebook‘s interest. first of all, it allows the country —— the company to allows the country —— the com pa ny to leave allows the country —— the company to leave off the content. it doesn't force their houndin content. it doesn't force their hound in being against the us president and potentially other world leaders, and it doesn't invite the simply slope where agencies might someday say, is that the line in such and such ways. why don't we increase that line? don't we start to

regulate more of your content? iam regulate more of your content? i am told we can't discuss this further, because we are out of time, which is the nature of live television, which is so frustrating, but we appreciate your comments and thank you for joining us on the programme. what do you think? let me know on twitter. tell us what you think about that debate. it is an interesting one, isn't it? asi an interesting one, isn't it? as i say, we have to move on. gyms and bars will be allowed to reopen in several german towns and cities from today as the country continues to relax restrictions. germany gained international recognition for the way it brought the coronavirus outbreak under control, but there are now fears it may be moving too quickly. our berlin correspondent jenny hill sent this report. it is going to be a painful recovery. jim is open again as germany relaxes most of its corona restrictions. translation: i am torn. corona restrictions. translation: iam torn. ienjoy the new freedoms, but at the

same time, i am a bit scared. maybe it was too early. germany was not cautious approach relaxing now. —— germany's approach. this country is still in the early stages of the pandemic. on a day like this, it is hard to believe it. he has brought it is blotted out back under control but there is now an intense public debate about what happens next. this country can still go low infection rates but it is early days. yes, i think a case too soon now, easing up days. yes, i think a case too soon now, easing up too fast, easing up too much, we risk a second wave, and i don't really understand why this is done so quickly because still more than 80% of the population stand behind the federal agreement which we had some time ago. small but voluble, a minority demanded angela merkel lift restrictions. so did germany's regional leaders, like this

leading candidate to replace her when she sat down next year. translation: we have a health problem of the pandemic, but there is another damage. children from disadvantaged backgrounds who couldn't go to school, sick people who didn't get treatment because hospitals we re get treatment because hospitals were reserved for covid—i9. people in care homes get lonely. this is damage as well and claim lives. nothing to do with raising his political profile? translation: the measures we had to decide are important, a matter of life and death. you couldn't act on a tactical basis. katarina is not impressed though the relocations mean she has seen herfamily forfirst relocations mean she has seen her family for first time in weeks. translation: i am very sceptical, very sceptical. it is like tipping over a sack of potatoes. this country praised worldwide for its initial success feels rather fragile now. jenny hill, bbc news. the british government is looking at ways to relax

a 14—day quarantine for arrivals to the uk over the coming months. the proposed move comes amid signs of a rebellion among mps concerned about the impact of the quarantine on the aviation and tourism industries. andy moore reports. the beaches of spain are beginning to open up, but will beginning to open up, but will be be able to get to them? spain's tourism minister sister the coronavirus figures will have to improve for british tourists can be welcomed back. and as well as problems that our intended destination, we will also have to deal with two weeks isolation when we return. that scheme has hollande many in the tourism industry and on the back benches of the conservative party. we will get more detail today, but the plan which starts next week will be reviewed every three weeks. one possibility to ease the quarantine is to create

so—called air bridges or travel corridors to places with similar levels of infection. that might not come in the first review, but could come towards the end ofjuly, just at the start of the school holiday in england. the uk's test track and trace programme is one of the keys to reducing levels of infection. it was launched last thursday but we haven't heard much about it apart from reports of some staff having little to do. but mr hancock told the downing street press conference the vast majority of newly infected people and their contacts had been traced. we have hired, as you know, 25,000 people to work asa you know, 25,000 people to work as a contact traces and the level of incidence of disease has come down, and so actually, we have more capacity than we need. this is a good thing. there were 111 deaths reported

yesterday in all settings. and an additional a45 yesterday in all settings. and an additional 445 deaths previously not reported when coronavirus previously not reported when coro navi rus tests previously not reported when coronavirus tests were carried out in private labs. but the death rate is generally trending downwards and britain is beginning to open up again for business. a clear sign of that could be seen outside the i9 ikea stores that opened up for trade yesterday. at some places, up to 1000 people were said to be queueing patiently and socially distanced lines. andy moore, bbc news. we will be talking about that ina bit we will be talking about that in a bit more detail in our business coverage, in particular in france, where bars, cafes, restaurants, etc, will be opening today. it is the economic impact of all of this? we will unpack all of this? we will unpack all of this ina this? we will unpack all of this in a few minutes in our business coverage. let's show you what is happening in sacramento, california. you can see fires burning there, many, many cities are under curfew, but many are ignoring that and

still on the streets across the us, protesting. iwill still on the streets across the us, protesting. i will be back injusta us, protesting. i will be back injust a moment. 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 south—east of england, say, 27 in the london area. it won't 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 hitand miss, and of course, there are 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 south—east of england. it may be a bit wetter across other parts of england and into wales, and probably largely dry for 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 the year. given how warm it's been, this is going to be a bit of a shock to the system. move things on to thursday, and those temperatures fall even further, perhaps a few degrees below average for this time injune. 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 those showers are moving further south across england and wales. where's 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.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. france reopening for business, as futher measures are eased will consumers return to cafes or will fear cause them to say "no merci"? and how are businesses in singapore getting ready for lockdown measures being eased? our team in the city state has been finding out. hello, and welcome to audiences in the uk and around the world. we're covering all the latest coronavirus developments here in britain and globally.

we begin in france where the prime minister, edouard philippe, has said bars, cafes and restaurants can reopen nationally from today. new social distancing rules will be in place with a minimum of a one metre gap between tables and all staff must wear face masks. a restriction on travel is also being lifted and beaches and parks will reopen ahead of the vital summer season. joining me now is tomasz michalski, associate professor, economics and decision sciences department, hec paris. nice to see you. nice to see you. a nice to see you. a very nice to see you. a very important day for france. tourism industry accounts for a large proportion of gdp growth, doesn't it? it's a very important industry. how hopeful are people it will bounce back quickly? of course the hopes

are there but it may be quite difficult, the tourism industry is something around like 7.5% of gdp. if thejune figures are bad, the estimates are that even one third of the businesses may close soon, and if the summer is bad, it may actually be 50% especially those small ones. even when you mention the reopening of restau ra nts, mention the reopening of restaurants, even 25% of them may not reopen as of today. just give you an example how important it is, for a city like cans, they project missing 50% of revenues for the entire year. and the entire economy may face, according to cautious

estimates by the government, 40 billion euros lower gdp production because of this. just talk us through what the long—term implications of this are for france, because all countries in europe are expect being a really tough summer, partly because many of us think we can't go to france and come back without having to sit through quarantine at home, et cetera. we a re through quarantine at home, et cetera. we are choosing not to travel overseas. so for france in particular, how impactful will this be in the long—term, because foreign visitors coming to france is so critical? foreign visitors are responsible for one third of the expenditures and tourism in france, including in large part by the british, and indeed there is a big worry that the foreign demand is going to be

lacking, even if all the border restrictions would be lifted. that is, for example, because france is actually more expensive destination than say, greece or spain, and typically if you have a decline in personal income and you plan a vacation in france, you would actually spend 30% less. so, also what is a problem are the new projected sanitary measures. as of now, it is unclear how the attractions such as the louvre, the eiffel tower, disneyland, how many people they are going to be able to accommodate, and if you cannot during your week in paris enjoy those attractions, how likely is it that you are going to come? so this is a bad medium term scenario coupled

with lots of business failures, you may also veer that there is going to be some social unrest in areas that heavily depend on tourism, for example in coastal areas where you have a strong yellow vest movement. 0k, areas where you have a strong yellow vest movement. ok, so it is going to be very tough for some time. thank you for your time this morning. after several months, one by one, countries in asia are emerging out of their lockdowns. in singapore, some manufacturing and construction activity will re—start today. but the economic cost of combating the pandemic has been huge. by some estimates, asia pacific economies could lose close to a trillion dollars in economic output. our asia business correspondent karishma vaswani looks at the companies and people behind the numbers. empty streets and highways, now familiar signs of empty streets and highways, now familiarsigns ofan empty streets and highways, now familiar signs of an economy and lockdown. but it has left

behind economic casualties. amongst them, modesto, one of singapore's best known restau ra nts. singapore's best known restaurants. more than 20 years it has been a place for family gatherings but like all restau ra nts gatherings but like all restaurants here in the last two months, there has been no dining in and business has taken a hit. it is shutting down permanently at the end of june. the first month it went down, it went down a lot faster and then it fell off a cliff. we were down 82% in april. 82%! amen, how do you even... resolve, or think about that? as countries start to reopen, the challenge will be getting people back into the empty department stores and restau ra nts a nd department stores and restaurants and something simply won't come back. companies that went bust, jobs that were lost, multiply this millions of times across asia, where small businesses are the lifeblood of these economies.

by lifeblood of these economies. by some estimates, some asian economies have permanently lost more than 6% of their annual growth just from lockdowns. that's around $1 trillion. government have also tried to help but it is not always going to where it is most needed. a lot of it is actually in terms of financial and liquidity support. that is fine and normal times but these are not normal times but these are not normal times but these are not normal times and this will only work of banks themselves have the appetite to land this money on to businesses and here we are particularly talking about smaller businesses who are most vulnerable to this crisis. small businesses like this clothing factory in indonesia which is one of many that is now in trouble. it used to make clothes but in the last few months, orders have dried up. now it has shifted to making masks instead but staff numbers we re masks instead but staff numbers were cut in half. translation: sales dropped almost 50% so we are making masks just sales dropped almost 50% so we are making masksjust to survive but we are seeing that demand dry up as well because

eve ryo ne demand dry up as well because everyone is making masks. i hope things go back to normal soon otherwise we will struggle. modesto is, orders do not have been at the last two months, hardly enough to cover the costs stopping many stuff here don't know what they are going to do next. lockdown was meant to protect lives, but shutting down entire economies has threatened livelihoods instead. let's get some of the day's other news. marriott has reopened all of its hotels in china and the group says it has seen a recovery in business travel. the world's third largest hotel chain has 350 outlets across china and says that occupancy rate is now at 40%. however, the company warned that occupancy might not recover to pre—coronavirus levels for several years. eu and uk negotiators begin their fourth and final round of scheduled trade negotiations today, with both sides so far unable to resolve their differences.

the eu has accused britain of failing to meet its commitments. downing street says brussels has imposed new demands. despite all the uncertainty caused by the pandemic and the riots in the us, global stock markets seem to think there is light at the end of the tunnel. let's take a look. we are seeing gains across the board, japan we are seeing gains across the board,japan up1%, hong we are seeing gains across the board, japan up 1%, hong kong up board, japan up 1%, hong kong up by board, japan up 1%, hong kong up byjust over a third of a percent and let's have a look at what happened in the united states the night before, as you can see, markets not up an awful lot but still in positive territory, which, some of you might think this is really interesting given the turmoil thatis interesting given the turmoil that is going on in the us at the moment. the protests, the rioting, looting, the unrest and then of course the coronavirus pandemic it is dealing as well. joining me now is laura foll, a fund manager at janus

henderson investors. nice to see you. give us your ta ke nice to see you. give us your take on why global stocks are trading. —— trading at three month highs. what's going on?” think what markets are responding to is firstlyjust the sheer scale of fiscal and monetary policy, we have seen this in the uk as well, interest rates near zero and just a huge fiscal policy response with the fellow scheme, and we have seen the equivalent of that across the world effectively in terms of co—ordinated fiscal and monetary policy response, so there is that but i think also, you have mentioned it a couple of times already this morning but the amount of economies that seem to be reopening, and again we see that here almost every day, there is a business that announces, either its construction site is reopening, it isa construction site is reopening, it is a shop that is reopening in the middle ofjune, the hospitality industry seems to be opening at the beginning of july, so there is this steady strea m

july, so there is this steady stream of good news where businesses are coming out of lockdown, if you think back to mid—march when the market bottom, there was a lack of visibility about when economies would reopen at all, when actually the data so far seems to be that when economies do reopen, the demand comes back relatively quickly, albeit we are relying on quite small amounts of data so far, things like restaurant bookings, so not the type of economic data we would normally use but so far it is quite encouraging, what happens when economies do begin to reopen again. we are braced for really bad economic data in the second quarter for most countries around the world, it is going to be a sharp intake of breath when we see the numbers. i know markets are always looking further ahead and further ahead, so what is the savvy investor thinking right now? looking at what goldman sacks is saying, they are saying the us labour market is showing early signs of rebounding, a lot of the comments coming from the investment banks are pretty positive. you are exactly right, the market is always

forward—looking and economic data will be fairly horrendous. we will see a spike in unemployment and definitely recessionary conditions but what the markets are saying is, this is a recession but how long does it last? is it a v shape recovery, u—shaped recovery, i hate all of these letters but you get the gist. it's about the depth and the severity but also the longevity of the recession and actually we are seeing about that in the third quarter and the fourth quarter, yes, 02 numbers will look fairly horrendous but it will be fairly short and i think that is what the market is responding to at the moment. let's hope you're right, laura. there are all sorts of concerns about second wave that all thoughts but thank you for now, it is good to you. in the united states, nationwide protests over the death of george flyod have grown more violent. in the past few hours, president trump has announced that he's deploying thousands of military and civilian police to stop the rioting and looting. meanwhile, shares in gun manufacturers soared on wall street by 10 to 15%, continuing this year's rally.

but it's notjust people who are protesting. big global companies are also speaking out. but critics say those brands are taking advantage of a desperate situation to sell products. we asked global brand consultant steven mcginnes if that's the case. on the one side of the access you can claim that they are being brave, making a stand, they are standing up for their customers in the other side you would say they are being exploitative and taking advantage. i think the reality is somewhere in the middle. they are certainly not being brave and taking a stand. they are not saying anything that could be seen as risky. what they are really doing is simply reflecting back the opinion of their customers to them. in fa ct, their customers to them. in fact, they are reflecting back a watered—down opinion. they are not condoning rioting, they are not condoning rioting, they are not condoning action on the streets. they are not even really commenting on the events that have led to these riots.

what they are doing is just reflect back what their customers believe already and in fact what any right—thinking person would say around unity and harmony and endemic racism, so really it is quite a safe business and marketing ploy rather than really taking a stand. interesting, isn't it? you are up—to—date on the business stories. the government is looking at ways to relax the 14—day quarantine rule for people entering the uk over the coming months. from june 8, most people arriving by plane, ferry or train, including uk nationals, must self—isolate. guidance will also be issued saying that new arrivals can use public transport if they don't have any other ways to get to where they're staying. but some mps and businesses have expressed concern at the plan, warning it will damage the travel industry.

mps are due to return to parliament on tuesday. so far, during the coronavirus pandemic, they've largely taken part in debates from home via their computers and have even voted on their smart phones. but now, they're being asked back to the commons, and will have to queue up to go through the division lobbies while observing social distancing. many backbenchers are unhappy that the government has ended the hybrid system of attending in person or speaking by video link. you are with bbc news. the headlines is our... —— this hour: president trump visits the washington church damaged by protesters after issuing a stark warning that he will deploy the army to end the current 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. there is 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. our 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 obama 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 obama 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. here in the uk, the coverage of the violence in the us has been watched by millions. our correspondent shamaan freeman has this report. 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 that 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're shocked, we're 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 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 united nations has issued another warning about the worsening humanitarian situation in yemen. launching a campaign to raise more than $2 billion, the un says aid operations in yemen are just weeks away from running out of money. it also warned that with only half of its health system functioning, yemen will see a more terrifying covid—19 outbreak than most other countries. our chief international correspondent lyse doucet reports. the world's pandemic struck yemen when it was already on its knees. hollowed out by war and the pestilence of all, cholera, diphtheria, dandy all ta ke cholera, diphtheria, dandy all take their toll here. now, yemen confronts the coronavirus. what many fear will be its greatest catastrophe. this man shield himself as doctors everywhere

do, that he is treating patients and the only dedicated covid—19 unit in all of southern yemen. every day is almost like suspending disbelief because more things keep happening that defy expectations or anything that i have been trained to deal with. what is your greatest fear now? i think what we worry about is that we get the patients in coming weeks that we can't provide the care that they need. no-one knows the numbers here, how could they? there is almost no testing. lab assisted by the who is at its gleaming best medicine. but much of yemen's health system barely function —— functions. some helpers arriving. there is not enough of everything. even the funds to keep the world's biggest aid mission from going broke. the humanitarian operation is on the breaking point. the week before the

first case of covid—19 was officially declared in yemen, we had to stop incentives for 10,000 frontline health workers all across the country. these are people that had been paid in lieu of their salaries for yea rs. if we in lieu of their salaries for years. if we don't get the funding they are asking for, this operation will break, it will break. a people who survived the worst are scared to listen to the woman wailing. videos like this posted on social media fears that loved ones taken to hospital are certain to die. many more said to be dying at home. yemen urgently needs the world's help when everyone has their own crisis at home. but the un warns nowhere will covid—19 spread faster, lighter and with deadlier consequences than yemen. —— wider.

thank you for your company. that is all from me for the moment. i will see you very soon. have a good day. 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 south—east of england, say, 27 in the london area. it won't be as windy as it's been over the past few days or so. 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 hitand miss, and of course, there are 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 south—east of england. it may be a bit wetter across other parts of england and into wales, and probably largely dry for 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 the year. given how warm it's been, this is going to be a bit

of a shock to the system. move things on to thursday, and those temperatures fall even further, perhaps a few degrees below average for this time injune. 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 those showers are moving further south across england and wales. where's 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.

good morning welcome to breakfast, with louise minchin and jon kay. our headlines today: thousands of heavily armed soldiers to be deployed in the us — president trump moves to stop the rioting following the death of 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. amid anger over the government's plan for a a 14—day quarantine for arrivals to the uk,
