loved, you take the sound of their loved, you take the sound of their love and keep it in the depth of your heart. that is all coming up later. it's tuesday second june. our top story: president trump has announced he's taking immediate action to stop the rioting and looting that has swept the us. it was triggered by the death of african—american man, george floyd, while in police custody in minneapolis last week. in a televised address at the white house, mr trump said he was deploying thousands of heavily—armed soldiers and police in washington, and an overnight curfew would be strictly enforced. he also threatened to send in the military if governors failed to take action to quell the violence. here's our los angeles correspondent, sophie long. more than a week after george floyd became the latest african—american to lose his life needlessly under

the hands of a police officer it is still painful. his brother came to the makeshift memorial and made a plea for peace. this is not my community. what are you all doing? what are you doing! you are doing nothing that helps bring my brother back at all. a second postmortem examination found george floyd died from asphyxiation and that it was homicide. his family urged people to stand with them peacefully. meanwhile, crowds gathered for a seventh night of protest. thousands spilt onto the streets in cities from the west coast of these, demanding an end to racial injustice. anything capital, protesters were forced away from the white house by police firing tear gas. the president told governors if

you do not stop this i will. mayors and governors must establish an overwhelming love enforcement presence until the violence has been quelled. if a city or state refuses to ta ke quelled. if a city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residence, i will deploy the united states military and quickly solve the problem for them. no justice, no and quickly solve the problem for them. nojustice, no peace! it would involve wilting extraordinary powers. some fear his threat to use an antiquated act to deploy military personnel across american cities could spark more anger and potentially further escalate and are ready increasingly tense situation. in los angeles, the looting started before sunset and america braced itself for another difficult and dangerous at night. sophie long, bbc news.

let's speak now to our north america correspondent peter bowes, who is in los angeles. notjust in la but across the state, how is it looking? it is looking a lot better than the last few days. there is still trouble in some places, i was struck here in this city by the number of people just lined up against walls, handcuffed as soon as the curfew came into effect. the dust to don curfew we have had for the last two days in a i’ow. have had for the last two days in a row. similar stories have had for the last two days in a row. similarstories from have had for the last two days in a row. similar stories from new york city where there has been a looting. also trouble in washington but not tha nkfully also trouble in washington but not thankfully on the scale we saw over the weekend. has the president helped things recently? that has

been concerned that over the next few days it could be a risky strategy. 0n the basis of the last few hours, it does not seem to have courage more people to go out onto the street —— encouraged. but what the street —— encouraged. but what the president did not address in his speech in the rose garden is the very issue about racial stress concerning more people, indeed describing himself as the law and order president and laying down the challenge to state governors to clear the streets and sort out the situation otherwise he would send in the military. thank you very much, we will check in again later. measures to relax a 14—day quarantine for arrivals to the uk are being considered by government ministers. 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, like here at malaga, are beginning to open up, but will we be able to get to them? spain's tourism minister says the uk's coronavirus figures will have to improve before british tourists can be welcomed back. and as well as problems at our intended destination, we'll also have to deal with two weeks' isolation when we return. that scheme has alarmed many in the tourism industry and on the back benches of the conservative party. we'll 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've hired, as you know, 25,000 people to work as 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!!! deaths reported yesterday in all settings and an additional a45 deaths previously not reported where 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 19 ikea stores

that opened up for trade yesterday. at some places, up to 1,000 people were said to be queueing patiently and socially distanced lines. andy moore, bbc news. what a very british thing, we will be talking about use later. let's hear more from our political correspondent, helen catt. if the government moving on the quarantine issue? concerned mps have been told the government is looking ways to change the quarantine rules and certainly downing street has previously said the government is looking at this idea of averages or travel corridors although it is not an entire policy. this policy doesn't get reviewed every three weeks after it comes in next monday soi weeks after it comes in next monday so i think there will be pressure on each of those reviews to make changes and certainly more mps seem to be concerned that the worries is

the aviation industry, which has had such a tough time already, we'll make it even harderfor it such a tough time already, we'll make it even harder for it to recover. a group of mps from lots of different parties from a pressure group last week to try and back the aviation industry, headed up by the conservative mp who has gatwick airport in his constituency. pressure building to get the government to change its course. not all happy about returning to parliament? parliament has been working under this specific set of rules which have allowed voting and contributions to debates to be done remotely contributions to debates to be done re m otely by contributions to debates to be done remotely by videoconference or on line but the government has said it does not want to renew those rules and that they have lapsed because mps have to come back to westminster to set an example. it has caused

problems for some, what happens to mps who were shielding and cannot come back, from those who have to come back, from those who have to come a long distance and also technical problems as well. the only way to vote is to physically count mps and they go through to specific rooms to do so. public health england has said you cannot keep social distancing in those rooms. so the parliament has to come up with a new way of voting, which at the moment is looking like a long queue snaking around parliament. we will be speaking to mps from both sides a little later. twenty police forces across england, scotland and wales caught motorists driving at more than 1000 miles per hour during the early stages of the lockdown, according police data obtained by the rac. the highest speed was clocked at 15! miles per hour on the m62 motorway in west yorkshire. the rac described the speeds as "truly shocking" and warned that motorists travelling this fast have virtually no time to react should anything

unexpected happen. british soldiers accused of committing war crimes in iraq, are unlikely to face criminal prosecution. the director of the service prosecution authority, andrew cayley, says he's now considering only one remaining case after thousands of allegations of abuse by british forces were dismissed. he also said he believed the international criminal court would soon close its own investigations. we've seen birthday parties and even weddings in lockdown. but what about the incredible milestone of an 80th wedding anniversary? eric and nancy kingston from somerset have been married sincejune1940. bless them. it's thought they're one of the world's longest—married couples. lockdown restrictions meant they couldn't celebrate with their whole family, which includes 1a great—great—grandchildren.

the couple got together in 1938, with some help from nancy's brother. that was it, it went from there, didn't it? and we still love one another. what is the secret of being together, as written's longest married couple? well, still holding hands. i had a kiss this morning in bed before he had his breakfast. so you are still very much in love with this lady? yes. a kiss before breakfast. let's take a look at today's papers: the daily telegraph's front page focuses on the government's plan to introduce a two week quarantine for everyone arriving in the uk. it says the scheme, which will be brought before parliament today, has caused a revolt among conservative mps. the daily mail leads on a study funded by the world health organization,

which suggests keeping just one metre apart from others, rather than two metres, as is the rule in the uk, could be enough to reduce the risk of catching coronavirus. the paper suggests the findings could fuel calls from businesses to relax the two metre rule to help the economy. the guardian also looks at that world health organization research, but the paper warns that reducing the distance we keep apart from others to only one metre, could double the infection risk. the front pages of the big american papers are dominated by the protests spreading across the us. the new york times reads "as chaos spreads, trump vows to end it now" referencing president trump's speech last night, where he said he'd send in the army to end the protests if state governments can't get them under control.

should we have a look at the inside pages. so many of us are hoping we can go on some sort of holiday. this is from the daily mail. which travel spots can be fired to. with casper coronavirus and quara ntines, spots can be fired to. with casper coronavirus and quarantines, you can travel from june of 15. germany, no quarantine travels. in france for example, only those travelling for work and family reasons are allowed to enter. if we don't grant the

french and exemption, two hours. i'm not going to give any travel advice because i'm not a travel operator. we are talking to a government minister. once flights start, you can imagine what an airport is going to be like. this might give us a clue about what we face at our ports. this was a well—known swedish furniture store. this is the warrington branch. you see the yellow line which seems to match their logo. the queue starts out here and goes all the way for a mile. would you need to sofa that much? all i wanted was a pot plant. i think they started queueing at 540 in the morning. lines are going to

have to change. we are pretty good at queueing. we do do queuing at two metres. we do at the supermarket. lots of questions. we know some sport is back. he was the moment more than 4000 pigeons taking off in the first race since lockdown. i'm not sure whether they would know that, but for a date the races, not going there. sally has got more on the sport later. we can see that one later. more developments from the united states where we've seen those terrible pictures.

the death of an african—american man in police custody, has sparked 7—days of protests in over 75 cities across the united states. an official post mortem revealed george floyd suffered a cardiac arrest, while being restrained by officers in minneapolis. yesterday mr floyd's brother, terrence, appealed for protesters to find a peaceful way forward and called for an end to violence and looting. i understand you were all upset that you're not half as upset as i am. so if i'm not over here blowing up stuff, if i'm not over here messing up my stuff, if i'm not over here messing up my community, and what are you all doing? what are you all doing? you are all doing nothing. because that's not going to bring my brother back at all. terrence floyd, the brother of george floyd.

we'rejoined now from minneapolis, by freelance journalist, jared goyette. thanks for being here. you are out on the streets of the city. how do things seem right now?|j on the streets of the city. how do things seem right now? i would describe them as tense. but there is no large—scale protest going on right now. passive military check points, they make it difficult to travel from point to point, let alone gather large groups of people. things are tense but quiet. so quieter than they have been for the last few days. why do you think that might be? what is working, if that is working? i think part of what is working is that neighbourhoods have taken it upon themselves to maintain their own security. where i am right now is in the heart of minneapolis's the community. you have people, volu nteers the community. you have people, volunteers arriving at this building behind me, going out in groups of three. most are armed. they are

under clear instructions from the naacp and other people leaving this effort do not chase anyone or fire u nless effort do not chase anyone or fire unless they have to but here, this isn't the centre of the protest but while the protests were going on, all the chaos and fires were going on, there were opportunists that set buyers in the black community. there isa buyers in the black community. there is a lot of talk of white supremacists arriving and they are out in force to protect the community here and it's also true in other parts of the city. we just heard from george floyd's other. we played a short clip of him appealing for protesters to try and find a different way through this, that he didn't want the memory of his brother to descend into the kind of chaos we've seen on the streets. do you think he is having influence in persuading both sides that the clashes in the street need to end? no, i mean he needs to be listened to and!

no, i mean he needs to be listened to and i appreciate him but it's a slightly different situation. the clashes in the streets were not part of the movement here. they are happening, they came from a lot of different sources and in terms of people arriving from out of state or the suburbs, just angry and taking advantage of it. it's possible what he said had impact but i think what you are seeing more of is the block to block co—ordination is really taking place all over the city. you've been out on the streets as a journalist, using journalists threatened in all kinds of ways. one of the experiences you've had that will stick in your mind? probably getting shot in the face with a rubber bullet. i think it would take a kick. iwent

rubber bullet. i think it would take a kick. i went to the attention of a protester who was seriously injured, when i got blindsided by rubber bullet, could have lost vision in the left eye. well over 100 across the left eye. well over 100 across the united states. i think there is a distinct difference dealing with the minneapolis police than the national guard soldiers. there is a certain animosity and tension dealing with the local police force and that animosity extends to journalists now. we see your black i now you mention it. you can see the scarring store there. how frightening is it for you having been through that experience to be up been through that experience to be up in the streets tonight?|j been through that experience to be up in the streets tonight? i can tell you that after that happened, the other night, i was standing off to the side. there is a curfew but there is an exception for journalists. a group of police approached on a group of protesters

and a few officers pointed their guns at me and ijust, i don't think i've ever screamed so loud in my life, i just i've ever screamed so loud in my life, ijust said press, press, press. screamed at the top of my lungs. i didn't get shot again. it can be tense. where i am now, there's no sign of that kind of confrontation. the police are aware, it's an armed civilian effort. they are keeping their distance. stay safe this morning. thank you. and you can see, really badly affected. this is the scene in portland, above portland at the moment. largely peaceful protest there. you can see people walking through the streets, marching through the streets, carrying placards and you might

remember pictures from sunday, police officers kneeling in solidarity with protesters in portland and they were met with cheers and praise from demonstrators. police have asked protesters to stay off the streets. a large number of people walking through the streets of portland. right on the far west coast. it's not even midnight there at the moment. you see jared getting nervous in minneapolis but it's only the beginning of the night in some places. seeing in the hours ahead what is going to happen. we will keep you up—to—date with everything. more epeople were diagnosed with prostate cancer than any other form of cancer for the first time in march last year, according to annual figures from prostate cancer uk. increased awareness of the disease has been credited to former breakfast presenter bill turnbull and comedian stephen fry, who have both shared their stories about diagnosis and treatment. brea kfast‘s tim muffett reports on how this has helped to save lives by encouraging

other men to be tested. carl was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2018. he went to see a doctor rupture a familiar face on telly spoke of familiar sounding symptoms. it started i'd say about two years last april. we were watching the television, my daughter andi watching the television, my daughter and i am bill turnbull came on and it came to light the symptoms i had we re it came to light the symptoms i had were the same. what were the symptoms you had which made you think something might be wrong? getting up through the night to pee, i'd be up five, six times in the night. 0bviously i'd be up five, six times in the night. obviously there is something wrong and i was diagnosed with stage three cancer and it did come as a shock. for the first time, more people have been diagnosed with prostate cancer than any other form of the disease. there were more than

57,000 diagnoses in the uk according to the latest annual figures. the numbers more than doubled over the past 20 years. in the uk, more than 400,000 men i now living with the condition. so why has there been this increase in cases? there are more men in the at—risk age group which is the over 50s, so those men are atan which is the over 50s, so those men are at an increased risk and there are at an increased risk and there are more of them as a result of changing demographics. we were expecting the state to come but it's come quite a lot sooner than we expect it. and when bill turnbull and stephen fry spoke of their diagnosis, awareness was raised significantly. there was a big increase in the number of men getting symptoms check out. unlike incisions —— conditions such as cervical or breast cancer, there is no national screening programme for prostate cancer. right now there is into reliable enough test for use expect to use and many believe that will be the key to spotting cases earlier. we don't even have a

screening programme so we are urgently needing to get to the point where we have good enough tests so we can get that screening programme and it's going to take research. quarterly, prostate cancer has a good survival rate. i, bill. we filmed in 2018 when carl and his daughter lisa met bill in person for the first time. thank you so much. carl has responded well to treatment, his cancer has been kept in check. bills was caught too late. his is incurable. how important is it that other men get it checked out if they are in doubt? it's very important. if they had the same symptoms as to what i had, don't think twice, just go and do it now because the only thing is the embarrassment of it, there is nothing bad or anything like that. i just caught it in time, well in time. with many hospital appointments postponed, there are fears the current pandemic is left a

lot of cancers undetected and untreated hence a reminderfrom medical professionals in cancer charities, if in doubt, see a doctor. tim muffett, bbc news. we will be speaking to the one and only bill turnbull soon, i chatted to him a few weeks ago, he seems very well. that's the only reason he spoke out originally, to encourage more of us to be open. carol, you will be looking forward to that. absolutely, it's always a pleasure to see billy. the weather is set to change really from today for some of us. as we go through the next couple of days. it's going to turn much cooler. today what we have as high pressure dominating the weather with this weather front sinking south. as

we go through tomorrow, we lose the amp. across northern scotland, is quite a bit of cloud. you'll notice the difference. looking at 27 or 28. the rain heads south again, pushing across northern england and wales. some of this will be happy. not quite getting into the far south—east and drying up across western scotland and northern ireland. it's not going to be a cold night for most of us. we are staying in double figures. rain is in the

forecast but the rain is very hit and miss. especially where we're going to the heavy rain. as we head and into wednesday, it's going to be hit and miss. the heaviest rain in parts of wales, gloucestershire, parts of wales, gloucestershire, parts of wales, gloucestershire, parts of the midlands. we might see some in east anglia and the south—east. if we do, it's not going to bea south—east. if we do, it's not going to be a huge amount and behind it, something drier and brighter but nonetheless, still seeking showers across parts of scotland and northern ireland. gusting across northern england and northern ireland, scotland and west wales. possibly 40 for some. the temperatures are coming down anyway. instead of 28 today, 20 in london tomorrow. the average temperatures, 15 to about 19. those temperatures

will be below average. quite a change, isn't it, we become used to it. that's very true, and we will notice it. that'll teach us to complain about it being too hot. hello this is breakfast with louise minchin and jon kay. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning: more than 50 years after simon jeffrey was abandoned as a new born in a box outside a pub, he's been reunited with four of his siblings. we'll speak to simon and his sister christine. and now we lied candles for the goodbyes we never got to say and we hold you in our hearts every single time that we pray because it is the love that we have that will never fade away. that was poet hussain manawer reciting his poem, keeping you alive.

he'lljoin us later in the programme to discuss grieving during lockdown and how difficult it is to lose a loved one and say goodbye at a social distance. as horse racing returns after a 76 day break, we'll chat to jockey frankie dettori. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. thousands of heavily—armed soldiers and police have been deloyed in washington after president trump issued a blunt warning, that widespread protests across the us must come to an end. demonstrations have been triggered by the death of african—american man, george floyd, who was pinned down by police in minneapolis last week. standing outside the white house, mr trump said mayors and state governors must establish a presence of overwhelming law enforcement to stop the rioting and looting. measures to relax the 14—day quarantine rule for those entering

the uk over coming months, are being considered by the government. the plans may include allowing visitors to travel to the uk from countries with low infection rates. from monday, most people arriving by plane, ferry or train, including uk nationals, must self—isolate for two weeks. mps and businesses have expressed concern, warning it will damage the travel industry. it is ourtime it is our time with our appointment with a gp. lets now speak to gp, doctor zoe norris. a story on a couple of front pages about social distancing and how far we need to be a part. some research by the who? the who have summarised a paperfrom by the who? the who have summarised a paper from the by the who? the who have summarised a paperfrom the lancet by the who? the who have summarised a paper from the lancet which looked at lots of studies around covid—19

and how far at lots of studies around covid—19 and howfarapart at lots of studies around covid—19 and how far apart we should be and it kind of says what common salads tells us that the further apart you are the less the risk. —— commonsense. the further away you get, the more that reduces. i guess it does not for me change what we know which, state further away and you are know which, state further away and you a re less know which, state further away and you are less likely to catch it but it does perhaps suggest you can get closer but there is still going to bea closer but there is still going to be a risk. and i think we know that. the government's advice remains the same, two metres. it is an anytime you have been in close contact with a cold for instance, you do not want to be extending close when that happens and it is the same with covid—19. happens and it is the same with covid-19. vulnerable people, who have been told to shield, they are

the first being allowed outside. have been told to shield, they are the first being allowed outsidem will make a huge difference emotionally. if you're one of the people in the shielding group, they have not left the house for weeks and weeks and just simply being able to go outside and perhaps be outside the house for a little bit of time will make a massive difference psychologically. hopefully it would not make a difference to their overall risk. it is just leaving the house not going to the shops and meeting friends. how many people who have been shielding asking you for advice? quite a lot concerned and are still very anxious. the people who have shielded have generally taken it very seriously is and have absolutely been cut off so they are nervous about going back out and they are seeking reassurance. i

think the message is very much that going up for think the message is very much that going upfora think the message is very much that going up for a little bit of pressure is fine but it is not a return to being able to do the other things that the rest of us have done in lockdown. pollen levels, is it bad at the moment and are some people thinking that could be a symptom of coronavirus? it is quite bad at the moment and we are having one of those years which is notjust people who know they have hayfever but other people who are really noticing this was not for most people the symptoms are quite different. hayfever will give a runny nose, which we do not see with covid—19, itchy eyes, which occasionally we see with covid—19 but it is not one of the main symptoms. it does not give a fever or cough and people generally feel well with hayfever and the symptoms

are generally local. the best place to go if you have a hayfever is to your pharmacist. they will give you the medicine you need as you would coming toa the medicine you need as you would coming to a gp. i understand you have primary aged schoolchildren and many in england were able to go back to school yesterday. what is the feeling in your household? my children are not in the year group who are going back some of their friends. our skills have been working incredibly hard to make the environment safe and make sure that children are still able to access education but be a bit sociable. i am happy mine are not in those groups and have not had to make that decision yet. the schools have been brilliant about live lessons, seeing their friends brilliant about live lessons, seeing theirfriends through brilliant about live lessons, seeing their friends through skype and for me at the moment, i am happy with the way things. is your husband a

teacher? he is, yes. he may have concerns about his own safety as well? i am more concerned about him than i am about the kids probably. he is more at risk and he is in an environment with probably more people, having meetings sometimes but, again, school have been good with him and trying to look after all their stuff but my concern would be more for him. ajuggle for you as well, school, him working, yourjob. it is hard. it is hard, and often we rely on my parents or his mum for childcare if it gets tricky and we cannot at the moment so lots of juggling. cannot at the moment so lots of juggling, lots of working from home, lots of video consultations and meetings where small children appear

halfway through but that's the same with everybody. are they in bed at the moment! 0ne with everybody. are they in bed at the moment! one of them is. i am surprised we have not seen them this morning. we appreciate your time. has she bribed the other one, do you reckon? is he watching mum on bbc brea kfast. reckon? is he watching mum on bbc breakfast. there are some actual sport results! brace yourself everybody, there is sports to report on. in a moment we'll get to the snooker and horse racing that got back under way yesterday. but with the potential return of the premier league just over a fortnight away, liverpool's managerjurgen klopp has told the bbc he doesn't mind if his team have to play matches at neutral grounds, and as long as his team can seal the title, he'd even play on mars. with the premier league set to resume on the 17thjune, a number of liverpool's scheduled games could take place at neutral venues.

that's partly to discourage fans from turning up to celebrate together. klopp's side of course are 25 points clear at the top of the table. when the alternative is not to play at all, i will play wherever you want, i would at all, i will play wherever you want, iwould play at all, i will play wherever you want, i would play in mars if you want. everybody will have home and away games, whatever is possible to do as away games, whatever is possible to doasa away games, whatever is possible to do as a team internally and with all our supporters in a moment when it is allowed to do so and i can promise, if it happens, there will bea promise, if it happens, there will be a parade as well, wherever. well, yesterday klopp's liverpool players showed their solidarity with the black lives matter campaign following the death of george floyd in minneapolis. many of the players posted this picture of the squad taking a knee in the centre circle. another sport edging closer to a big return is formula 1. more information about the british grand prix is expected later this morning.

the bbc understands government approval‘s been given for silverstone to stage two races back to back, and drivers won't have to quarantine for two weeks when arriving into the uk from around the world. the snooker is on in milton keynes again today. the championship league is being played at a venue with a hotel attached to it so players can completely self—isolate during competition. they're tested regularly too, and that'll take some getting used to for world number onejudd trump, who won his opening match. the test was quite hard. it is the back of your throat and up the nurse as well. it kind of felt like it was touching my brain, if there is one up touching my brain, if there is one up there. the venue is stripped. we have all followed instructions. we have all followed instructions. we have ultimate preparation going into this event to be able to play here

and everybody is doing an amazing job so far. horse racing continues today too, with ten more races at newcastle from lunchtime. jockeys took to the course in face masks yesterday, but look how close the very first race of the day was. there was a photo finish as zodiakos here became the first winner in uk sport since lockdown began. after 8:30 we'll hear from frankie dettori, as he returns to the track today. finally, one football club in denmark has gone ahead with their idea of drive through football, where supporters cheer the team on, from the car park. fc midtjylland have thousands of spaces outside their stadium, so they streamed the match live on big screens for supporters to watch and cheer on their support. it didn't work out quite as planned though, as their team lost 1—0.

iam not i am not sure about that.” i am not sure about that. i like it. i think the screen is a bit too small. and the horns are a bit too loud. that has woken us up. sorry. new quarantine measures are just one of the issues analyse and airports are having to deal with. airlines and airports are among the worst—affected businesses from the coronavirus crisis, but what does that mean for their employees? sean has more details. good morning. that's right. it isa it is a huge issue. a concern for the industries and lots of bosses telling us it will take a few years to get back to where the industry was last year and british airways in

particular has made some pretty big announcements are ready about proposals to change its workforce. if we look at some of the numbers... more than 20,000 of its staff, including pilots and cabin crew have been furloughed. british airways is that it needs to go further and take up that it needs to go further and take up to 12,000 jobs off the payroll com pletely up to 12,000 jobs off the payroll completely by making people redundant. 0ne completely by making people redundant. one of the big unions representing british airways and the cabin crew in particular have said that ba is trying to take advantage of the coronavirus crisis to implement some of the changes they have been wanting to put in place for yea rs have been wanting to put in place for years and maybe have not been able to because of strike action. the union have said the airline is also planning to lay off staff. it is not yet making redundant. anna

then asked them to reapply for their jobs but with worst pay and conditions will also looking to outsource more roles as well. that would be a stressful time for any worker to go through something like that. our colleagues in the south—east have spoken to a worker at british airways who wanted to speak to us anonymously. lay i'm so anxious and scared.” feel used, i feel betrayed. how can he do this to us? i can't sleep. it's the last thing you think about when you go to bed and the first thing i think about when i wake up. i'm going to support my family, how my going to pay the mortgage, how am i going to live? we love ourjobs andl i going to live? we love ourjobs and i love myjob, love what i do and i love myjob, love what i do and i'm at what i do. it'sjust so unfair. because you've got so many of your colleagues and ends, like at gatwick, we are so small, we like a

family and it's just destroying gatwick, we are so small, we like a family and it'sjust destroying us. what are we going to do? some of my wrens what are we going to do? some of my wrens have been there for 30, 40 years and this is all we know and it'sjust not there. the ba workers speaking to the bbc. what are the company say? british airways say many other airlines are looking to do something similar. they are looking to lay off thousands of workers as well possibly in british airways are going to make decisions they need to make to protectjobs. the statement with had said the airline industry is facing the deeper structural change in its history as well as facing a severely weakened global economy, working together we can protect morejobs as economy, working together we can protect more jobs as we prepare for a new future. 0ver protect more jobs as we prepare for a new future. over the course of the morning, i'm going to be having a look at those wider problems for the industry. what might work, what might not for those staff at various airlines and british airways workers

in particular. if you work in the industry, get in touch with us and let us know how things are going. is there light at the end of the tunnel or is it is tough a few months as the unions are making actors the moment ——is the unions are making out at the moment? we will speak on the impact of quarantine on passengers and other issues later in the programme, in relation to any summer holidays we might have. social distancing in the playground, just 15 pupils in a class and hand sanitiser on the desks — are just some of the measures being used to keep primary school children safe. pupils in reception, year1 and year6 in england, were able to return to the classroom yesterday, but some head teachers say parents are choosing to keep their children at home. breakfast‘s john maguire has been to visit a school in northampton, to see how the first day back went. good morning, how are we? a virtual hug from the teacher welcomed children back to this primary school near northampton. a parent is turned

up near northampton. a parent is turned up and given us a lovely donation. i'm gently trying to open it because i'm gently trying to open it because i'm pretty sure as soon as they get out, they are going to go very well. even the headers wearing sports kit that can be easily laundered instead ofa that can be easily laundered instead of a just one difference. keeping families distanced, and there is a one—way system for dropping children off, all done to keep those returning to school as safe as possible. she is really excited to be coming back. i think they put a lot of effort into making it as safe as they can. i am more than happy. i think it's an individual preference to every family. for bo, she's only just turned five and started at school so i think she it for the social aspect, needs to get back into a routine. what are you most looking forward to about school?” most looking forward to seeing some of my wrens and go back to school. along with the children of key workers, just over half the pupils

eligible to return, that's reception, year1 eligible to return, that's reception, year 1 and eligible to return, that's reception, year1 and year 6, are back. all now separated into bubbles. have a nice day. preparing for this many children has been a major challenge. so far so good. i mean the biggest pleasure really was seeing the children come in and the big smiles and they are obviously very happy to be arc. the staff of ten amazing, absolutely brilliant, welcomed them. the bubbles are working, children have gone up to their rooms quite happily. it is a bit of a false dawn though because we got such small numbers in each room but it's doable as it is at the moment. they are fortunate here to have a good deal of outdoor space and even the willow classroom. the virus is far less likely to spread in the fresh air. all i want to do teacher is that i myself am not going to be a reason why another family gets ill or my own family gets ill. i know that young children

are in the least concerned group. i'm happy to come back because of the preparation we have here. many of the children are seeing friends again for the first time in ten weeks. i'm actually getting to see people, because i don't have any brothers or sisters. been a bit bored, doing my school work at home. i was quite nervous about coming in because i didn't quite know what it was going to be like but now that i've got here, i know what it's like andl i've got here, i know what it's like and i quite like the feeling of it because you've got your own desk, you have everything that you need and you can just you have everything that you need and you canjust sit and get on with your work without any distractions. the children eat, learn and play all in their bubbles. maximum size, 15. each and every part of the school day has been rethought and redesigned to provide reassurance. john mcguire, bbc news, northamptonshire. bless him, saying, i'm actually getting to see people. it does feel like that.

we're joined now by abi brown, the leader of stoke—on—trent city council, to discuss how the first day back went for schools there. have you managed to get any figures or data yet of how many kids worried eligible to return actually ended up in the classroom. we've seen an increase in the number of children went back yesterday. the children are vulnerable and key workers over the last ten weeks, although i've not seen perhaps as many as we might have except —— expected, many have gone back. we are expecting the numbers to increase over the next week. is it possible for you to predict where this is going to go in terms of numbers. do you expect more, over the few weeks? yes, we expect to see more and more over the

rest of this week as more schools open. we have a couple of schools opening next week and a few the week after so we anticipate the numbers to slowly increase, particularly as people see the systems, and are reassured that it's ok for children to go back to school. we heard from pa rents to go back to school. we heard from parents across the uk but particularly england, allowed to go back. they're still really nervous about this, it was wrong, they feel anxious about sending kids back when there is so much uncertainty. what would you say to a parent in stoke who feels that way? we've been clear at city council has to be right for the school and parents and as a parent, i know how that feels and we've done a huge amount of work with schools around are they prepare themselves and i know that our schools have done a brilliantjob in communicating that to parents. it seemed loads of innovative things, pictures, maps, all sorts of things distributed to parents but it's got to be all right ultimately. it's

also got to be all right for the kids. what happens in a household if the parent exits right of the child to go back on the child is clearly anxious about it, having been aware of what's going on? it's that kind of what's going on? it's that kind of dynamic? it is. and the people who know children best other parents and schools and in many cases, the schools are working closely with individual parents to understand those anxieties of how they can address them. every child is different. they will have their own views and feelings around this will doa views and feelings around this will do a tremendousjob views and feelings around this will do a tremendous job outside of times like this and clearly they've gone over and above the last ten weeks and done a fantasticjob in keeping our children engaged and getting them back to school. some of the teaching unions are nervous about this. i think it's been rushed through, happened to quickly, schools and staff are not ready. what do you say to that argument as well? you need those staff on side of schools are going to work

effectively. we do absolutely nothing with hard along conversation with the unions and schools over the last ten weeks. we never stop talking to schools all the way through this. very much making the decision about what was right for schools and how unions can support their staff in the vast majority of staff will be my residence and i've had conversations with teachers about this and be reassured about our position as a city council to support them to go back when it's right for them, it has to be right for schools, teachers and parents and children. thank you very much indeed. it was three months ago today, that the first person in the uk died as a result of covid—19, according to public health england. now, the death toll stands at more than 39,000. families who've lost loved ones have had to mourn from a distance. they haven't been able to hug or hold their loved ones, and many haven't had the chance

to properly say goodbye. here at breakfast, we've teamed up with poet hussain manawer, who has performed a special tribute for all those who've died, and their families. let's take a look. 2020, a year we all had high hopes for. but what happened? none of us could have predict did our lives changed overnight, our movement became restrict did. we met loneliness and isolation. it's not the same when you try to be social when your distance and i know there are moments that are passed, moments

that should have been celebrated. i know every community has sacrificed. many traditions that are sacred. i know your pain just doesn't go away just because your hibernate it. and i know there's not a manual on how you are supposed to grieve when you are isolated. if you've lost someone you love, you take the sound of their laugh and keep it in the depths of your heart because we are keeping them alive. you take all the words they spoke and you wrap them and hope because we are keeping them alive. you find all the dreams they wrote and you hold them close because we are keeping them alive.

and somewhere deep in my mind i pray it's you that i find. because i have been keeping you alive. we couldn't been keeping you alive. we couldn't be more proud as a nation of all the key workers, all the nhs staff. we hoed ——we hold you all with courage and admiration. thank you for your deeper level of understanding. thank you for your bravery and patience. and now we light candles. for the goodbyes we never got to say. and we hold you in our hearts every single time that we pray. because it's the love that we have that will never fade away. it's the conversations in isolation that really saved the day.

how we found ways to come together, to help carry each other‘s pain. because we are keeping you alive. and in the words of captain tom... tomorrow will be a good day. just so many thanks to hussain. it was so beautifully done. the most beautiful poem, speaking for so many people who've been through very difficult times. he will be here later in the programme to discuss grieving during lockdown. stunning, wasn't it? we'll also speak to the good grief trust, about the support available for families who've lost loved ones during the pandemic. and of course that epic poem will be on our social media channels later so i'm sure you'll be able to hear it but also catch it up and shout on

facebook. let's also have a little look at the weather. carol said there might be a change on the way. yes, a big change on the way. 0ver the next few days, much cooler and breezy. when you think many of us have had temperatures in the mid to high 20s. we will see temperatures by thursday below average. friday to saturday, northern scotland, above 600m, some sleet and snow. yes, you heard that correctly. today we thought there was high—pressure in charge but the weather front sinking southis charge but the weather front sinking south is introducing rain and it continues south through the day. behind it, we will in some cooler conditions. the other thing to watch out for is pollen levels. high or very high across northern ireland, england and also wales. a lot of dry weather to start the day, a lot of sunshine. across scotland, more cloud and showery outbreaks of rain.

through the day, the cloud and showers will move south, some into northern england and northern ireland and some of those will also prove to be wondering, particularly late afternoon and also late morning for that matter. south of those showers, we're back into the with temperatures as high as 26 or 20 devonin temperatures as high as 26 or 20 devon in the south noticeably cooler across the final of scotland. this evening and overnight, rain moves south, some heavy. not a cold night, cloud around but clear skies in the west later. the headlines next. good morning welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and jon kay. 0ur 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. summer holidays abroad still in doubt — as the government sets out the details of its 14—day quarantine for people coming into the uk. as well as those measures, the travel industry the uk may have to wait to travel. mps return to parliament, but many think they should they still be working form home. and they're off. no crowds, on the course but the first post—lockdown winners came on the track at newcastle, as jockeys adapt to racing's return. it's tuesday 2nd june. our top story: president trump has announced he's taking immediate action to stop

the rioting and looting that has swept the us. it was triggered by the death of african—american man, george floyd, while in police custody in minneapolis last week. in a televised address at the white house, mr trump said he was deploying thousands of heavily—armed soldiers and police in washington, and an overnight curfew would be strictly enforced. he also threatened to send in the military if governors failed to take action to quell the violence. here's our los angeles correspondent, sophie long. more than a week after george floyd became the latest african—american to needlessly lose his life at the hands of a white police officer, the pain is still palpable. nowhere more so than here, the street in minneapolis where he died. his brother came to the makeshift memorial and made a plea for peace. if i'm not over here nothing of my community. what are y'all doing?!

you are doing nothing because that is not going to bring my brother back at all. a second postmortem examination found george floyd died from asphyxiation and it was homicide. delivering the findings, his family's urged lawyer urged people to stand with them peacefully. meanwhile, crowds gathered for a seventh night of protests. thousands spilled onto the streets in cities from the west coast to the east, demanding an end to racial injustice. in the capital, protesters were forced away from the white house by police firing cannisters of tear gas, so the president could tell state governors, if you do not stop this, i will. 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.

chant: nojustice, no peace! to do so would involve wielding extraordinary federal authority. president trump declared himself an ally of legitimate protesters, like these here in los angeles, but some fear his threat to use an antiquated act to deploy military personnel across american cities could spark more anger and potentially further escalate an already increasingly tense situation. 0n the streets of los angeles, the looting started before sunset and america braced itself for another difficult and dangerous at night. sophie long, bbc news. right across the us, reports of trouble. not as much as in previous evenings over the past week these

pictures live from portland, in the state of oregon, in the far west of the united states. you can see banners and a group of people. it appears to be peaceful but a large march ina appears to be peaceful but a large march in a city where there is a cu rfew. march in a city where there is a curfew. approaching midnight on the west coast and clearly it is still tense and nervous and people waiting to see how this next night pans out. will the words of george floyd's brother have an impact? we will bring you more later on breakfast. measures to relax a 14 day quarantine for arrivals to the uk are being considered by government ministers. 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, like here at malaga, are beginning to open up, but will we be able

to get to them? spain's tourism minister says the uk's coronavirus figures will have to improve before british tourists can be welcomed back. and as well as problems at our intended destination, we'll also have to deal with two weeks' isolation when we return. that scheme has alarmed many in the tourism industry and on the back benches of the conservative party. we'll 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've hired, as you know, 25,000 people to work as 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 445 deaths previously not reported where 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 19 ikea stores that opened up for trade yesterday. at some places, up to 1,000 people were said to be queueing patiently and socially distanced lines. andy moore, bbc news.

we will be talking about cues a little bit later. but let's talk about quarantine. let's hear more from our political correspondent, helen catt. m he's talking about that later? yes they are but the government is looking at this idea, averages or corridors and they would have to be agreed with other countries but for now that policy seems to be the 14 day quarantine coming in from next monday. government sources suggested any lifting of that may not come untiljuly and would, as ever, depend on the science but there is a lot of pressure building to get something more targeted in place. mps are supposed to get back to parliament today but some people are

not happy about it? for the last few weeks, they have been rules in place which meant mps could participate and vote remotely by those rules have run out and the government does not want to renew them because they say mps should be setting an example. but the problem with that is for mps who operates shielding or are older so they cannot come into westminster or are advised not to. how can they participate if they cannot be physically here. there are also technical issues in terms of the only recognised way of voting at westminster is for people to be counted in lobbies. that is not safe to do under social so they have to come up with a new system and at the moment it looks like it might involve a long queue of mps sneaking right through parliament. thank you

very much. twenty police forces across england, scotland and wales caught motorists driving at more than 100 miles per hour during the early stages of the lockdown, according police data obtained by the rac. the highest speed was clocked at 151 miles per hour on the m62 motorway in west yorkshire. the rac described the speeds as "truly shocking" and warned that motorists travelling this fast have virtually no time to react should anything unexpected happen. many public places in france are allowed to re—open from today, including restaurants, gyms and theatres. however, stricter rules remain in force in paris. 0ur correspondent hugh schofield is there for us this morning.

you will not some of the same liberties in paris that other people living in france have? no, and that applies in particular to restaurants and bars. you can see behind me, just opening now for the first time and they are absolutely delighted to be opening after this long and difficult. they can only open outside on the street, the big that is inside remains shut and that will remain the case in paris for the next three weeks at least. for restau ra nts a nd cafe next three weeks at least. for restaurants and cafe ‘s who do not have terrorists, authorities have allowed them to make terrorists, temporarily taking over car parks and so on. 0ver temporarily taking over car parks and so on. over the weekend, you will see cafe ‘s and restaurant owners with frenetic activity to

build outside spaces. across the country, it remains the case that everything is opening. the rule across france is that if it is not specifically then it is allowed. things are returning to normal. whether or not british people will be able to take advantage of that is an unknown. the french have said that if there is a british quarantine, the french will do the reverse. and we will be talking about the potential of that quarantine as well. british soldiers accused of committing war crimes in iraq, are unlikely to face criminal prosecution. the director of the service prosecution authority, andrew cayley, says he's now considering only one remaining case after thousands of allegations of abuse by british forces were dismissed. he also said he believed the international criminal court would soon close its own investigations. we've seen birthday parties

and even weddings in lockdown. but what about the incredible milestone of an 80th wedding anniversary? eric and nancy kingston from somerset have been married sincejune 1940. it's thought they're one of the world's longest—married couples. lockdown restrictions meant they couldn't celebrate with their whole family, which includes 14 great—great—grandchildren. the couple got together in 1938, with some help from nancy's brother. that was it, it went from there, didn't it? yes. and we still love one another. what is the secret of being together, as britain's longest married couple? well, we loved a lot. yes, still holding hands. i had a kiss this morning in bed before he had his breakfast. so you are still, sir, very much in love with this lady? yes.

rightly so. isn't that lovely. the death of african—american george floyd while in police custody in minneapolis, has sparked seven days of protests in the us, in a level of civil unrest not seen in decades. peaceful demonstrations have given away to violence in many cities with clashes erupting between police and protestors. activists have gathered in more than 75 cities — from minneapolis, to los angeles, atlanta, new york, washington dc and seattle. curfews have been imposed in some areas, with the national guard deployed to deal with the unrest. yesterday, president trump vowed to send in the miltary if state governors don't do enough to supress what he called the "riots and lawlessness" across the country. today, i have strongly recommended to every governor to deploy the national guard in sufficient numbers that we dominate the street. mayors

and governors must establish an overwhelming law enforcement presence until the violence has been quelled. if a city or state refuses to ta ke quelled. if a city or state refuses to take the actions necessary to defend life and property of their residence, then i will deploy the united states military and quickly solve the problem for them. we can speak now to cedric alexander — who advised president barack 0bama on community policing. he joins us from florida. i kind of want to backup a bit and... my goodness, i'm afraid we've lost that line. that was bad timing. very disappointing. we've just lost that line. hopefully in the next few minutes, we will be able to go back to him. it looks like developments in the united states overnight have relaxed somewhat, haven't they? we are getting reports that despite the

fa ct are getting reports that despite the fact that i curfews in place and without a week of violence, it hasn't been quite as bad tonight their time as it had been mrs live in portland, oregon over on the far west coast of the united states. we've seen this rally over the last few hours. several thousand people at no clashes. that comes after president trump told the various states that they have to get on top of this or he will send in the army, the national guard. we know that more than 75 cities of seen protests over what happened to george floyd. before those, the streets had been deserted because of the coronavirus pandemic but demonstrators marching shoulder to shoulder. in some cases, there has been violence as well. in other places, we can see peaceful demonstrations as well. the time now

is 16 minutes past seven. democracy will "once again flourish", according to the leader of the house of commons, as mps return to westminster virtual voting has been used since april, as well as a limit of 50 people allowed in the chamber at any one time. a vote on whether to reverse these measures has faced criticism from some mps, who argue that the most vulnerable, will be unable to have their say. we're joined now from crawley by conservative mp, henry smith and also by labour mp valerie vaz. what's it like as you approach the idea of getting back into westminster, getting back to work as normal question i welcome the chance because was the remote measures have been necessary because the pandemic over the last few months, it really has curtailed my ability on behalf

of my constituents to scrutinise the government. it's been really noticeable. also there are lots of important legislation the parliament needs to be passing. we had an election just six months ago with a big programme of legislation that was announced. a lot of that has had to be put on hold but we can't put out democracy on hold forever and as the rest of the country starts to unlock, i think it's only right that mps should as well. what you say to those mps who are concerned? they might not be able to come in various different reasons. apology for that shot we had there. what do you say to them? if they can't get their voices heard? my understanding is there will be opportunities for mps who can't do is agree get into westminster to participate. for example. i understand there are

managements being made to the various different parties for the old system, what used to be called pairing, where one mp cancels out another on an agreed basis. there are ways we can start getting back to work and do ourjobs to the fullest extent. at the same time recognise those people who for legitimate reasons like shielding are unable to get back to westminster. we saw how quickly coronavirus went to westminster a couple of months ago. the prime minister, civil servants, other mps and ministers. i know they've made changes in the house of commons but you look at those benches, you look at the ancient parliament setting, is that the healthiest environment to be working in? you don't have any concerns? yes, i think it would be foolish to have no concerns, it's important parliament returns on a

safe and gradual basis back to a degree of normality. we're not seeing scenes of the house of commons packed to the rafters as is traditionally the case with prime minister ‘s questions for a while yet. i was back therefore prime minister ‘s questions about a month ago. and i was really impressed by the social distancing, as members of parliament had a question, they came into the chamber and left the chamber if they were taking part in virtual proceedings. there are lots of mitigation measures that are employed and will be similar to those mitigation measures in other workplaces as well. parliament is workplaces as well. parliament is work base. we haven't been able to carry out those functions as best as we would like to because of the pandemic but as soon as it is safe to do so, and i think we are at that point, so long as social distancing in the appropriate hygiene measures are in place, i think there is a

pragmatic way to start getting back to work. on behalf of the people who elected us. can ijust ask you a different question if that's ok about quarantine because we know that mps are going to be talking about that today, the fact that people may have to quarantine when they arrived. i understand you are critical of it. if quarantine was to be introduced, should have been for inbound passengers a couple of months ago at the start of the pandemic restrictions. imposing it now just belongs pandemic restrictions. imposing it nowjust belongs the painterly aviation and travel sectors which will be some of the slowest parts of our economy to recover. there are other options available such as the air bridges concept where countries who had a similar covert 19 experience can have travel experience can have travel experience in terms of passing through. but the practicality of administering the quarantine, following up on people, it's good in

theory but in practice, it probably doesn't work out very well. there are some anomalies as well. you can fly to dublin and then straight on and not face any cheques. quarantine will come in next week but the home secretary said it will be reviewed ona secretary said it will be reviewed on a weekly basis and i hope we can get back again in terms of the aviation and travel sectors to some degree of normality as soon as possible. we know there are a number of conservative mps were not happy with this idea. are you prepared to rebel over this. a lot of people getting in touch this morning, thinking about the summer holidays would love you too. i formed a group last week called the future of aviation group. we are really lobbing on behalf of the aviation travel sectors to really try and get the support it needs so that it can

start playing its part as an important part of our economy, an island trading nation. i'm not seeking to divide the house of commons today. been talking about the fact that it's still somewhat dramatic in terms of the way parliament functions because of the normal physical nature of people being close together. we want to keep votes over the next few weeks toa minimum keep votes over the next few weeks to a minimum of possible. i don't think that would be helpful to force the votes done in practical terms, making sure this quarantine is reviewed in the next few weeks with a view hopefully to a being dropped by the first ofjuly, probably the most practical way forward. thank you very much forjoining us. valerie vaz is a labour mp, thank you forjoining us. understand you have a different review than henry smith expect different view than henry smith does. firstly, we've

worked with the government on a consensus basis so the government has talked to the opposition or the opposition parties and we came up with a really good working arrangement whereby people in different parts of the country, and that's remember, we are in the middle of a pandemic which isn't over. and so we were able to do our work as members of parliament from different parts of the country in a virtual parliament and even vote remotely. that's says a lot about the work that's been done by the house authorities and how we've moved forward to enable everyone, no matter who they are, to still take pa rt matter who they are, to still take part in terms of being an mp with caring responsibilities, and it has all changed, the consensus is gone because jacob rees mogg has decided unilaterally that he was going to change it. without any chance for

anyone to work out a proper solution. and that is your issue, what would you like the solution to be? while we are in the middle of this pandemic, which we are, the government is onlyjust eased the lockdown in certain places, incidentally, horseracing, butare still issues in care homes. we know the government's testing process and working properly. there are a whole range of issues about a group of people were travelling across the country and with the greatest respect to henry smith and the government, we haven't had proper figures on the infection rates throughout the country. we know it's worse up north, and london is changing, but that still isn't changing, but that still isn't changing throughout the country. you are getting a whole group of people going back to their constituencies. we know there are silent spreaders, people are moving about the country

in different ways and was the test, tracing and isolate processes not working, its going to be impossible to see how the virus is spreading. if it is indeed. valerie vaz, we have to leave it there. thank you both forjoining us. we've had a few issues with lines. we will continue talking about what we're talking about. president trump vowing to use the military to stop protests. this follows the death of george floyd and millie under —— minneapolis. cedric alexanderjoins and millie under —— minneapolis. cedric alexander joins us and millie under —— minneapolis. cedric alexanderjoins us again. you advised barack cedric alexanderjoins us again. you advised ba rack 0bama cedric alexanderjoins us again. you advised barack 0bama on policing. after donald trump was my comments, we've seen this spread across many cities in the united states, these protests a nd cities in the united states, these protests and demonstrations. what do you make of the significance of what is happening? many people in this

country recognise there is a lot of injustice that have been done. the george lloyd case is not the first. it is among many other cases that involve the death of black men, and men of colour in this country which is involved great concern for these people. when they watch the way mr lloyd died in the streets of minneapolis, that came isjust lloyd died in the streets of minneapolis, that came is just very raw footage, very hurtful. it angered people to a point where we are today with the protesting. i am many others are going to denounce the violence because that is not acceptable. at any time any measure because there are many who do not wa nt because there are many who do not want the voice of what happened to mr lloyd to get lost in the violence. the violence needs to stop

the protests in this country, which is their right to do so, is going to continue because of the concerns, the pains, the fears historically of these types of events that have occurred unfortunately between police and citizens of colour in this country. you say the violence needs to stop. are you afraid that message will not get through?m needs to stop. are you afraid that message will not get through? it is getting through a bit at a time. we know there is going to be a handful of those who are going out during a property and burning down things which is totally unacceptable. what many of the protesters had begun to do is separate themselves from those that are causing that type of damage because they are so committed to the mission, the mission of making sure

they are able to speak for mr lloyd but more importantly to be able to be heard beyond those making noise around violence. i think people are backing off we've got a lot of angry people still that are out there. we are seeing pictures from portland which seems to be quite calm as we can see from those pictures. let's talk about what the president has set overnight, using the military to end the protests? what would your response be? you are hearing it from many governors, they would consider that to be a bit to excessive, it may be more politically driven than anything else. i think we will see in the days to come, if the violence does not stop, what actions could be taken. you

does not stop, what actions could be ta ken. you have does not stop, what actions could be taken. you have the us national guard that is working in collaboration with local police agencies in each respective jurisdiction however to bring in the us military, that's going to be left up us military, that's going to be left up to those governors in each one of those states, so we're going to see that play out. we appreciate your time and thank you for bearing with us while we managed to get back with you, doctor cedric alexander. if you have been enjoying the heat and sunshine, and joint today because it could be on the way out for a while? that's right, things are going to change and temperatures getting back to where they should be and in some places below. it will be breezy but what we have today is a high—pressure dominating the day.

this is the change maker, bringing in rain and more cloud with cooler conditions. we are looking at a dry day across much of england and wales, with sunshine and feeling warm but scotland and northern ireland and northern england, cloudier with showery outbreaks of rain. some could be heavy and thundery, especially in north—eastern scotland, and some in northern ireland. it will feel cooler as well. back south, in the sunshine, highs of possibly 28. through this evening and overnight, the weather front pushing south, taking rain to southern scotland, northern england and wales. drying up northern england and wales. drying up in western scotland and northern ireland. most of us staying in double figures but cooler across the far north. tomorrow, we pick up that

weather front. some rain far north. tomorrow, we pick up that weatherfront. some rain will far north. tomorrow, we pick up that weather front. some rain will be heavy through wales, part of the midland, the south—west butt, head and mess as it was further southwards. —— but again, hit and miss. temperatures are going to be lower. add on the strength of the wind and it will feel cooler. it has been so warm recently. friday night into saturday morning, above 600 metres we could see sleet or snow.” cannot believe the change is going to be so extraordinary. incredible. hello, this is breakfast with louise minchin and jon kay. thousands of heavily—armed soldiers and police have been deloyed in washington, after president trump issued a blunt warning that widespread protests across the us must come to an end. demonstrations have been

triggered by the death of african—american man, george floyd, who was pinned down by police in minneapolis last week. standing outside the white house, mr trump said mayors and state governors must establish a presence of overwhelming law enforcement to stop the rioting and looting. measures to relax the 14—day quarantine rule for those entering the uk over coming months, are being considered by the government. the plans may include allowing visitors to travel to the uk from countries with low infection rates. from monday, most people arriving by plane, ferry or train, including uk nationals, must self—isolate for two weeks. mps and businesses have expressed concern, warning it will damage the travel industry. we're joined now by simon clarke, minister for housing, communities and local government. thank and local government. you forjoining us. let's tal

about thank you forjoining us. let's talk about quarantine and the idea that people might have to lock themselves away for 14 days when they get back to the uk. a conservative backbencher a few moments ago said this could have a bad effect on the tourism, aviation industries and is deeply worried about it. are you prepared to change your mind as a government? quarantine is an issue which we have considered very carefully. it is about making sure that you get through this very delicate change stage of the pandemic —— next stage of the pandemic —— next stage of the pandemic as numbers thank goodness, that we do not import more numbers as people travelled to the uk. we wa nt to as people travelled to the uk. we want to minimise the risk of new cases of coronavirus coming into our society at a time when we are getting a grip on it within the uk. this is a temporary limited measure

to make sure we avoid that risk divesting itself. it follows good track is in a number of countries which have made successful efforts to stop coronavirus including the likes of new zealand and south korea. it is something we have done with the utmost reluctance... you're talking about new zealand and south korea. they did it when the peak was yet to be read. you are doing now what a lot of people were begging you as a government to do two months ago. at that stage, the calculation was made that because very few people were travelling into the uk because we'll travel had effectively ceased, we needed to get a certain number of uk nationals returning home plus, in broad terms, the initial caseload was not significant to the wider spread in society. but now, with case numbers going down

quite sharply, we need to make sure we're not seeing new cases coming in and putting that trend on track. it is absolutely vital to do this and we do it for as short a period as possible crucially we do it for as long as it is required to keep getting the country out of a situation we could face, we are getting the numbers down and allowing economy and society to get back to normal. as somebody watching this, who might arrive back to the uk from new zealand which has currently no cases and has to get back to britain right cases, and has quarantine. even people coming back from europe. you can understand how to members of the public, including to members of the public, including to some of your own mps, it does not make sense. i can understand the frustration this causes and clearly nobody wants to have restrictions on

travel. it is being done in the public health interest. it is important we avoid importing fresh risks and it is something we have done with the utmost reluctance but because we deem it to be the right thing to do at this point in the pandemic cycle. this is a classic case of the challenges we would confront on what has been a global pandemic and we need to make sure the uk is protected from that and can emerge and avoid the risk of a second peak which is the aim of government policy. is there another way of doing it? aviation corridors or bridges, deals with other countries with similar kinds of levels of coronavirus where we could exchange passages without having to do quarantine. i suppose part of the problem is our rates are sick d iffi cu ltly problem is our rates are sick difficultly higher than other

countries. like spain, yesterday, they do not really want us. different countries are at different stages of their respective tracks of this pandemic. we will keep this policy on review and review it every three weeks. i am not going to speculate on how we might address this scheme but for now it is very clear that as of monday, a 40 day quarantine is in place for people coming into the uk and that has to be understood clearly say we do not confuse a message. clearly you cannot make government policy on bbc brea kfast cannot make government policy on bbc breakfast but clearly there is briefings going on and hence and dribbles of suggestions and some of the papers that we might be looking at some kind of relaxation later in the summer. can you see is getting into a situation where people could still have summer holidays without having quarantine into july, still have summer holidays without having quarantine intojuly, august

september? the only response i can give to that is it will obviously depend on progress and we all want these restrictions to be lifted as soon as it is safe to do so. we believe the travel industry is of massive importance to the uk and we wa nt massive importance to the uk and we want people to move as freely as they can but we do need to have these restrictions in place for now to make sure we are not increasing the risk of a second spike with you cases coming into the uk just at the time that we are starting to get the numbers down really quite strongly. did you have a holiday booked this year? we did, in august, to jersey but whether that transpires isn't open question. can we talk about testing as well. the government has talked about tracking and testing and tracing is really, really crucial if we are going to keep levels down and yet we still have

not had any figures for ten days about the number of people who have actually been tested. can you give us those figures or at least tell us when the government will publish them? test and trace is going to be a vital tool to avoid nationwide lockdown and we want to make sure the data is published in an open and transparent way. at the moment there area number of transparent way. at the moment there are a number of groups in the testing and we want to make sure we gave the statistics which are wholly accurate. we will be publishing that as soon as they are available and we hope that will not be long... ten days, ten days without the number of people being tested. look, clearly work is going on but that seems like a very big gap and people will begin to wonder, is there something dodgy going on here? what do you say to

people that need to be trusting you that think it looks mysterious? these figures are independently compiled. these are not produced by government ministers. they are produced by phd and all health service qualities that are working with us and doing a fantasticjob. just a few weeks ago, nobody had any idea these would be required. now we have over 200,000 times a day underpinning test and trace and that will allow us to maintain it. we can then follow up with people who have beenin then follow up with people who have been in contact with anyone that tests positive... sure but... that allows more normality for the rest of us. but you are not publishing those figures either. you're not telling us how many people are being tested and also how many people have been tracked and traced either and,

at the time when you're talking about transparency and the importance of keeping the population with you, especially after the last ten days and an undermining of trust at some level within the government, i would have thought the more data you can provide us with, the better. and i completely agree that we need to make sure the data is accurate. nobody here is playing silly games with data. it is making sure that it is absolutely correct when we do publish it. the new system is absolutely vital to allowing us to get back to a degree of normality more quickly. tracked and trace is a phenomenal achievement which has been put out in very short notice. with follow—up the contact of 10,000 new cases a day and that is something we should welcome because it will provide a comprehensive list

to track new outbreaks and avoid the blanket lockdown that we have been living with since march. we will get all the data to the public as soon as we can. we will know how fantastic it is when we see the figures. thank you forjoining us. in a moment we'll get to the snooker and horse racing that got back under way yesterday. but with the potential return of the premier league just over a fortnight away, liverpool's managerjurgen klopp has told the bbc he doesn't mind if his team have to play matches at neutral grounds, and as long as his team can seal the title, he'd even play on mars. that's partly to discourage fans from turning up to celebrate together. when the alternative is not to play at all, i will play wherever you want, even if it's on mars, to be honest, i don't care. but now we are here and it looks like everybody will have home and away games, and so whichever

celebration is possible to do as a team internally and with all our supporters in a moment when it is allowed to do so again and then i can promise, if it happens, there will be a parade as well, whenever. you can hear the full interview on radio 5from you can hear the full interview on radio 5 from seven o'clock tonight. horse racing continues today too, with ten more races at newcastle from lunchtime. jockeys took to the course in face masks yesterday, but look how close the very first race of the day was. there was a photo finish as zodiakos here became the first winner in uk sport since lockdown began. after 8:30 we'll hear from frankie dettori, as he returns to the track today. really looking forward to chatting to him in a little while. the snooker is on in milton keynes again today. the championship league is being played at a venue with a hotel attached to it so players can completely self—isolate during competition. they're tested regularly too, and that'll take some getting used

to for world number onejudd trump, who won his opening match. it is slightly bizarre to watch it without the crowd butjudd trump enjoyed it although not so much the testing. so many changes going on in several places, including the travel industry. also the experience of travellers as they have to go through our ports. sean has been looking at all these various issues the industry is facing. what can you tell us, what have you found out? so much the people to consider. when mighta much the people to consider. when might a quarantine day end? vital for those people booking trips over the course of the next few weeks and further down the line, what kind of things they going to be

experiencing, where can they travel. we mention the spanish government saying british tourists are going to have to wait a bit before they can return to spain on the holidays they way they would have previous years, saying there have been talks with tour operators but british data will have to improve. it's important to assure that person returns well. it's one example of our countries around the world are managing the people who are arriving into the country the way we are trying to do right now. and that's affecting where british customers will look to travel in the weeks to come. also, important questions about loos. the boss of rya nair, important questions about loos. the boss of ryanair, michael 0'leary said, we may have to line up on their flights said, we may have to line up on theirflights for a said, we may have to line up on their flights for a toilet, we are not allowed to stand in the aisles but you have to press the button, wait for somebody to tell you can go. a un body has put out a load of

suggestions about what should happen to people when they are looking to get onto flights. inks like duty—free should be limited, no newspapers when boarding, toilets restricted so that cabin crew will have to use one set and passengers, another. and all those things, we been talking about how airlines are looking to build passenger confidence if they can't get it high enough, they have to make big changes. we talked about to share ways workers and unions concerned about the way they are being treated. it's all part of the same story, the airline industry trying to get those flights closer to being busy and up and running but while they can't, they're having to make big decisions elsewhere. serve the travel industry right now, a lot of uncertainty and that is filtering through to passengers and workers. also the workers you mentioned about, and the unions, this affects their day—to—day lives, and knowing what's going to happen, up in the

air. it is up in the air. not only have british airways got all of that to consider, all of those issues, the workers themselves are feeling quite under pressure. that's what the unions are telling us. that's what we've heard from some workers. you look at british airways, business class travel. having to make such big cuts and go further with their workers. british airways is particularly reliant on profitable business class travel, especially long haul flights. if we said increasing use of videoconferencing, it indicates the numberof videoconferencing, it indicates the number of people using these business class seats is going to fall dramatically in the years ahead. a disproportionately negative impact on its profitability so it has to be able to cut its cloth

according to what's in the marketplace and that means it needs to reduce workforce and increase flexibility in the way it operates as well. when we mentioned a few of these things before seven, we had a lot of people getting in touch with us. one anonymous ba staff member saying, i'm a single parent, i'm considering how i'm going to get through this, another saying this is causing me an incredible amount of stress and anxiety. i lost my father during this crisis, i've been unable to grieve the him as i should because of the threat of losing my job. it's hanging over my head so some tough time for a lot of workers out there that it's that not knowing where the company and british airways might not go next. sean, thank you. simon jeffrey was just a baby when he was abandoned, in a wooden box, next to a pub in gravesend, more than 50 years ago. he was found by a member

of the local darts team and later taken in by a foster family. simon has spent much of his life trying to find his birth parents and widerfamily, and now his search is part of a tv documentary. let's take a look. a baby fanned and abandoned just over a week ago has still not been claimed by his mother. because the newspaper cutting didn't actually say my name i was thinking, maybe it's not me. but then there was another newspaper cutting which clarified it all, a picture of the baby. i'd already seen this picture because i had the original copy in the house. and that's when i realised this was me. it was a bit ofa

realised this was me. it was a bit of a shock. a bit like being discarded. it feels like you've been just discarded. i wanted to know where my mom was, what she found, is she 0k. and why did she abandon me? as part of the documentary, simon was brought together with siblings he never knew existed, including his sister christine. let's speak to them both now. we should do a spoiler alert there. let's speak to them both. how lovely to speak to you. simon, ijust want to speak to you. simon, ijust want to pick up with that thought. a tiny little baby you will work in a corned beef box. what an extraordinary story. it really was an extraordinary story and at the

time, there were two tins of corned beef in there, i don't know what that was for. it is mind blowing. what's it been like to live with that all your life? mentally, very hard, as you go through the teenage yea rs, hard, as you go through the teenage years, you do feel like you've been discarded. not to know your birth pa rents discarded. not to know your birth parents is real big issue. see you wa nted parents is real big issue. see you wanted to take part in this programme and you managed to find out quite a lot, didn't you, including meeting your brothers and sisters. tell us about what you did. i was never expecting anything like that. i always thought i must have a sister rather i don't want to give too much away but always thought i was going to be oldest one. it's nothing like that at all. what can

you tell us about what you've discovered without ruining it for people who haven't seen it? well, no, basically it's like being reborn again. what a wonderful feeling that must be. i know people have been in this situation before but not quite your situation. there is a feeling of completeness now. completely. i know all my roots now which i didn't know all my roots now which i didn't know before. all i had before was a few newspaper cuttings. that was my roots, that was it. basically everything. it's fantastic. it's like being reborn. it such a

fantastic life now. christine, see you are very much at the heart of the story. you effectively have a new brother. did you have any idea? no, not at all. we had four brothers, my sister and myself, no, not at all. we had four brothers, my sisterand myself, i thought i was the youngest. we are giving some of it away. how did you meet in the end? steam? where did we meet? through the programme. it was lovely, like a big bear hug. but they contacted you and said you might have another brother. what was your reaction, wow. wow, couldn't believe it, there was no inkling. simon says he feels complete. do you

asafamily simon says he feels complete. do you as a family feel complete? do you feel reborn? yes. a lot of catching up. at this time when people are separated from their loved ones, it must be really hard because you established this before covid but you can't get together and have a chinwag on the hugs. what is that like, simon, must make it really frustrating? it does, it really does. my heart goes out to these people who are locked in because it's exactly the same sort of healing. it's hard we talk every day, we are on the phone every day, we do face time, we are on the early days but it's not the same. , and it is, it's amazing. it's really lovely to hear your story. simon, thank you very much. christine, you've been

lost once already we hope you will be able to get back together again. wonderful to speak to you. you can watch simon and christine's story on ‘long lost family: born without trace', which airs on itv tonight at 9pm. it's coming up to eight o'clock. we are talking about sport in a sense. queueing up in britain is a sport. thousands of customers queued for hours yesterday, as furniture giant ikea reopened 19 of its stores, in england and northrn ireland, for the first time since march. new safety measures are in place and there are limits on the number of customers allowed in at any one time. however, shoppers complained of "five—mile queues" and raised concerns about safety while waiting outside. retail analyst and founder of savvy marketing, catherine shuttleworth joins us now from leeds.

in this new situation of the new web shopping, us british will be the best in the world at it. there are serious issues. we've gotten used to queueing outside supermarkets but what you make of the fact these queues were so long? many reasons. there is a lot of pent—up demand. people looking at the four walls, thinking i can do with some new showers or new furniture, people have been waiting to go up into that store. those stores are massive, they are huge shops, they are built to lots of people to go in but under the new social distancing laws, obviously they are letting less people into the store so that means there will be a bigger queue behind. yesterday was the very first day and

i'm sure there is a little bit of trial and error in that. but some people have not much else to do. i'm not sure the queues were five miles per people are prepared to do it but they will go our vicksburg code —— but they will go down over the next few days. shop owners and all of us, we need to kind of take on board a different approach, don't we? we ta ke different approach, don't we? we take on board queueing in social distancing very quickly in a supermarket set. putting those stickered —— stickers on the floor, we are going to have to get used to it. it's a bit more straightforward i think it. it's a bit more straightforward ithink in it. it's a bit more straightforward i think in supermarkets because you go in with a mission, you're going to buy lots of items. when it comes to buy lots of items. when it comes to stores, furniture shops and fashion shops where you would browse, that's going to be a very difficult challenge because actually, what we don't want to the

moment is browsing. we want people to get in and out of stores pretty quickly in the big challenge to the retailers is many of us have managed to survive quite adequate with on line shopping and maybe not everyone wa nts to line shopping and maybe not everyone wants to go back into stores and of course the retailers need a spike in stores and needed to back spending money, because they haven't taken any cash at all. thank you very much your time. we've been queueing up wanting rain for the last few days and it looks like some of us might get some. we've got some lovely blue skies this morning. this picture taken in hampshire. asjohn rightly said, the weather is changing. the rain will be hit and miss. we do have this weather front sinking south, it's a cold front bringing rain and behind it, the air is going

to turn colder. notjust today but through the next few days. much other blue starts sliding down the country, replacing the yellows and amber the most. a lot of dry weather and sunshine around, especially for england, wales, southern scotland and northern ireland. northern scotland, more cloud and showery outbreaks of rain stop through the day they will slip scout —— slip south, to southern scotland, northern ireland and northern england. the rest of england and wales, it remains dry, sunny and warm, temperate as 25, 26, possibly as high locally is 28 note the difference. northwest scotland, yesterday was 26. today, 12. you will definitely notice that. through the evening and overnight, a lot of dry weather to start with but the weather front sinks south are taking heavier bursts of rain across southern scotland and northern england, north midlands and wales. doesn't quite make it to the far

south—east by the end of the night and it dries up in western scotland and it dries up in western scotland and northern ireland. not a cold night, mild for most. where we have the rain, it is hit and miss across the rain, it is hit and miss across the uk and it will be again as we move on to thursday. this is wednesday first of all. some heavy bursts in wales, the south—western midlands. it might get into the south—eastern east anglia and if it does, you won't see much. the wind will be a feature, gusting northerly wind so the northern half of the country gusting 30—40 miles per hour and with the temperature is lower tomorrow than they are going to be today anyway, it will feel cooler. the average temperatures in this stage ofjune are between 15 and 19 but by the time we get to thursday, they are going to be below average between about ten and 16 degrees. more weather later.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and jon kay. 0ur 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 state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents, then will deploy the united states military and quickly solve the problem for them. summer holidays abroad still in doubt — as the government sets out the details of its 14—day quarantine for people coming into the uk. mps return to parliament — but many think they should they still be working form home. -- think —— think they should still be working from home. and they're off! no crowds, on the course but the first post—lockdown winners came on the track at newcastle, we will speak to frankie dettori in the next half hour as he prepares

for his first race today. a tribute to the more than 39,000 people who've died from coronavirus — three months on from the first uk death, we have a specially commissioned poem in their memory. so if you lost someone you loved. you take the sound of their laugh. and keep it in the depth of your heart. more on that coming up a little bit later. it's tuesday 2nd june. our top story: president trump has announced he's taking immediate action to stop the rioting and looting that has swept the us. it was triggered by the death of african—american man, george floyd, while in police custody in minneapolis last week. in a televised address at the white house, mr trump said he was deploying thousands of heavily—armed soldiers and police in washington, and an overnight curfew would be strictly enforced.

he also threatened to send in the military if governors failed to take action to quell the violence. here's our los angeles correspondent, sophie long. more than a week after george floyd became the latest african—american to needlessly lose his life at the hands of a white police officer, the pain is still palpable. nowhere more so than here, the street in minneapolis where he died. his brother came to the makeshift memorial and made a plea for peace. if i'm not over here messing up my community. what are y'all doing?! you are doing nothing because that is not going to bring my brother back at all. a second postmortem examination found george floyd died from asphyxiation and it was homicide. delivering the findings, his family's lawyer urged people to stand with them peacefully. meanwhile, crowds gathered

for a seventh night of protests. thousands spilled onto the streets in cities from the west coast to the east, demanding an end to racial injustice. in the capital, protesters were forced away from the white house by police firing cannisters of tear gas, so the president could tell state governors, if you do not stop this, i will. 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. chanting: nojustice, no peace! to do so would involve wielding extraordinary federal authority. president trump declared himself an ally of legitimate protesters, like these here in los angeles, but some fear his threat to use

an antiquated act to deploy military personnel across american cities could spark more anger and potentially further escalate an already increasingly tense situation. 0n the streets of los angeles, the looting started before sunset and america braced itself for another difficult and dangerous at night. —— and dangerous night. sophie long, bbc news. in the last half an hour, local government minister simon clarke has told this programme he believes the 14—day quarantine is necessary for those arriving to the uk from abroad, to avoid a second peak of the coronavirus. let's discuss this more with our political correspondent helen catt. good morning, helena. a of people interested in this, number one because people have worried about people bringing the disease from the board. in time, but also because of

the impact on summer holidays. let people bring a big reason from abroad for some time. what the government has previously said is it is looking at this idea floated of so—called air bridges or travel corridors where you would make a reciprocal agreement with another country that has a low transmission rate of coronavirus and you would not need to go into isolation for people coming from that country and vice versa. but a government source has suggested that may likely not be untiljuly and that would absolutely depend on the science. so in the meantime policy remains this 14 day isolation for anyone arriving in the uk from next monday, and simon clark, the local government minister, told the programme earlier by the government is pressing ahead with that. with case numbers going down quite sharply, we need to make sure we are not seeing new cases coming in and pulling that trend off track. it is absolutely vital that

we do this for as short a period as possible but, crucially, as long as required to keep getting the country out of the situation that we face. there are concerns about the impact that might have on the travel and aviation industries and there is pressure on mps on the backbenches who want to see something much more targeted brought in fairly swiftly. mps back to work a bit more normally in parliament today, but that as well as very controversial? yes, in the last few weeks parliament has been working under the special rules that allow mps to participate remotely, the government does not wa nt remotely, the government does not want us to continue, the worries raised around mps who are shielding orare raised around mps who are shielding or are perhaps older, how they can participated they cannot come to westminster, and the technical problems too because the way mps usually vote has been deemed unsafe by public health england on the

social distancing rules, so there are social distancing rules, so there a re lots of social distancing rules, so there are lots of issues to solve and mps will have to vote on that later under this new scheme which will see them forming a very long queue. helen catt, thank you. that seems to bea helen catt, thank you. that seems to be a theme and today's programme. twenty police forces across england, scotland and wales caught motorists driving at more than a hundred miles per hour during the early stages of the lockdown, according to police data obtained by the rac. the motoring organisation described the speeds as "truly shocking" and warned that motorists travelling this fast have "virtually no time to react should anything unexpected happen. " british soldiers accused of committing war crimes in iraq are unlikely to face criminal prosecution. the director of the service prosecution authority, andrew cayley, says he's now considering only one remaining case after thousands of allegations of abuse by british forces were dismissed. he also said he believed the international criminal court would soon close its own investigations. we've seen birthday parties and even

weddings in lockdown. but what about the incredible milestone of an 80th wedding anniversary? love this! eric and nancy kingston from somerset have been married sincejune1940. it's thought they're one of the world's longest—married couples. it is lovely! lockdown restrictions meant they couldn't celebrate with their whole family, which includes 14 great—great—grandchildren. the couple got together in 1938, with some help from nancy's brother. that was it. it went from there. didn't it? yes. and we still love one another. what's the secret of being together as britain's longest married couple? well, you have a laugh. yes. still holding hands. i had a kiss this morning. in bed. before i had my breakfast. so you're still, sir,

very much in love with this lady? yes. it is lovely, isn't it? a kiss before breakfast. happy anniversary, eric and nancy. 80 years married. this morning on breakfast, we're focusing on grief during lockdown. three months ago today, the first person in the uk died from coronavirus. now, the death toll stands at more than 39,000. behind the grim statistics, are human stories of loss and love. families haven't been able to mourn properly, funerals have been held over video conference and many haven't had the chance to properly say goodbye. brea kfast‘s graham satchell has been to meetjo, who's shared her personal and very moving story about losing her husband during lockdown. we already built this garden together at home, leo and i.

it was our space, and every morning leo would get his cup of coffee and walk up the garden and look at the flowers and see what had come out, and we'd design another little project or dig another little border. and the sad thing is he's not here to see it, but i'm trying to keep it going for him. jo and her husband leo both became ill at the end of march. leo was rushed to hospital. he spent three weeks on a ventilator. and thenjo got a phone call. they rang me on monday and said he was in his final hours. and they took me to the ward, and i had my hand on his chest and... he lost a daughter, he lost a child in 2013 and i just sat there saying, "go and be with fran in heaven," and holding him. and then i... after about five minutes i felt his heart stop under my hand, and i knew he was dead and it was two minutes to two.

the doctor didn't declare he was dead until five past, that's when they'd done all their final checks. and i took off his wedding ring with the help of a nurse who was pretty much trying to hold me up, but couldn't really get too close, and then ijust walked out. i kissed his hand goodbye and i left him. jo had to cope with the overwhelming grief of losing her husband in lockdown, isolated. she busied herself in the garden, but she needed help. nearly two weeks went by, because i don't know what happened in between, it was such a blur. although i'm not a massively huggy person, sometimes you do just want people there, you want someone to making a sandwich and put food on your face when you can't make it yourself. there's 30,000 people out there like me, and we all need some sort of help and counselling and support, even if it is from a distance.

this is the national arboretum in staffordshire. discussions are already under way to have a memorial here to remember key workers who've lost their lives in the pandemic. i'd love to plant trees, i'd love to plant a tree for every person that's lost someone, every life that's been lost, or some sort of memorial garden that people could come and just sit and remember. because we feel like we've been robbed of the opportunity to celebrate the lives of the people that we've lost. leo was an amazing man. he'd want us to celebrate his life. but, yeah, for me, it would be trees. and for him. that's jo, remembering that'sjo, remembering her husband

who died with covid just a weeks ago, one of those 39,000 statistics that she talked about. let's speak now to linda magistris, the founder of the good grief trust, which supports those who are bereaved. good morning, thanks forjoining us. you can just sense from watching that film and hearing whatjo has to say, how it is even harder right now to do somebody? it is utterly desperate, utterly desperate. what we need to do, exactly whatjo is asking for, is offer help and support to all those people grieving at home since lockdown. it is not just 39,000 people, everyday 1600 people die under any other circumstances well, so since lockdown we have probably had about 150,000 people who are bereaved, immediate family, the wider network, friends and colleagues, we had to reach out. the good grief trust now

has put a submission to government to offer our good grief card. we need to reach out to people likejo at home who have not been offered support. the acute trust have been at full capacity desperately trying to help. the gps, police, the community services. we are absolutely letting people down who are bereaved and not being signposted, so we have put together a new proposal, we want this card, it is signposted, it is a combined condolence and signposting card which we have used for the last three years since we have lodged good grief trust, we wanted to land on the matter of every bereaved person across the country. we had a brilliant nhs helpline available to anybody from the atm to 8pm, but the signposting card will offer 730 services. not one single pixel people, we need to offer people like jo the tailored support that she

needs —— not one single approach will help all people. when people are losing children through miscarriage, there is cancer, heart disease, we need to offer tailored support and that is what we are hoping with the card and a text every day. the press briefings are talking about statistics, we need to then show them where to find support. it is very simple, may be some ticker tape with the press briefings everyday from downing street to the good grief trust.” briefings everyday from downing street to the good grief trust. i am sorry. i suppose in normal times people might be given a leaflet as they leave the hospital after somebody died, or by a team in a hospital care home, but at the moment so many people likejo have not had those direct connections, the last moments have been done over the last moments have been done over the phone or over skype or something, the physical handing over ofa something, the physical handing over of a leaflet or list of numbers has not happened. what about the capacity to help and offer

counselling? is it fair at the moment? charities are struggling, we do not have the funding. there are hundreds of support services, we have most of them in our database, but they are struggling because they do not have the funding. they have adapted their services incredibly, we have three virtual good grief cafes, co m e we have three virtual good grief cafes, come and support each other with peer support, anybody who is struggling. there are support helplines tailored for each particular loss but we need to get that information to the bereaved. there is trusts have been struggling to even cope with the covid debts and the capacity they have had —— those trusts have been struggling. the impact of this, as we talk about in the bereavement world, it will be a soon army of grief and mental health issues but we can mitigate that if we have the immediate early signposting —— it will be a tsunami of grief. jo said, i am not really a

very huggy person but i need some kind of consolation and care. there is still social distancing so she can't get hugs from people. we can offer support, there are incredible charities that can offer support for widows and people who have lost children. when you say pearce support, is that a stranger counselling you ? support, is that a stranger counselling you? peer support, i am bereaved, i lost my partner graham six years ago to cancer, it is speaking to people who have been through a similar circumstance and we can offer peer support. we can offer counselling, there may be a waiting list but generally that the read do not need counselling immediately, they just need read do not need counselling immediately, theyjust need a kind, listening ela, the nhs helpline or other helplines. there are people there willing to help immediately,

we really need signposting. jo, it was tragic, but she was able to say goodbye. so many people have not been able to reach out to people dying in hospitals, they have not had the funerals they want. the limitations and restrictions are so devastating. we need to be able to reach out now, i know it has been three months and many people have been left alone but it is not too late, we need to reach out to them, offer the support they need tailored for their particular loss, it is not difficult. i suppose part of the problem is none of us, whoever we have lost in the past in our lives, we have all had tragedies in our lives of one kind or another but none of us really know what it is like for people who are losing loved ones at the moment, because the situation people are facing now is unlike anything any of us have experienced, it is hard to offer counselling, peer support and group support at the moment because it is

a unique situation? yes, but grief, sadly, is something we will all be going through. yes, the covid deaths are unique, traumatic and harrowing, so we need to support people now and give them follow—ups. lots of people at home will not be getting follow—u ps at home will not be getting follow—ups because our concentration is with the acute trusts, the police and community services, but we can offer help now. i am on a webinar with 180 bereavement services every week, we need to let the bereaved know exactly where that support is and the good grief trust have everything under our helpline and website. there is support but we need to get it to people who need it desperately. to receive your possessions by career and have them land on the matter which is, sadly, what we have had to do, so traumatic. to not be able to sit

next to the person that you love at the funeral and not be able to reach out to them and give them a hug, we need to recognise the impact of griefand, need to recognise the impact of grief and, sadly, need to recognise the impact of griefand, sadly, if need to recognise the impact of grief and, sadly, if anything comes out of this pandemic, it will be that. between the second at the 8th of december, we are launching national bereavement week... of december, we are launching national bereavement week. . ” of december, we are launching national bereavement week... i am sorry, we had to neither bear, but some very sorry, we had to neither bear, but some very powerful points. —— we had to leave it there. we will speak to somebody who has been through the experience in a couple of moments. there are many ways we will be remembering people who have lost their lives in the pandemic, and this is one. we've teamed up with poet hussain manawer, who has been reflecting on the pandemic so far. let's take a look. so if you lost someone you loved. you take the sound of their laugh. and keep it in the depth of your heart. because we are keeping them alive.

you take all the words they spoke. and you wrap them in hope. because we are keeping them alive. you find all the dreams they wrote, and you hold them close. because we are keeping them alive. if you have not heard that all, i suggest you stay with us until 9am, then we will play the whole poem. hussainjoins us now, and we can also speak to candice. her mum, anne, was 58 when she passed away from coronavirus in april. candice, i had spoken to you before, you are very moving. hussain, it is a beautiful poem and it is... what you think about the responsibility of trying to encapsulate what so many people are going through? good morning and thank you very much for having me, it is an honour to be back and it was an honour to work on

this with you all. before i get to this with you all. before i get to this i want to say that i understand that i may never understand what the black community is going through but i use my voice to stand with them and say black lives matter. dealing with grief and loss is exceptionally difficult, dealing with it amongst a tragedy is even harder. when i was asked to write this, it hit home for me. i too have lost my mum. it was not due to covid, it was just before, and my friend nathanial, who plays the keys on the piece, his mother, who we all grew up with, sadly passed away due to coronavirus as well and when it came so close to home and i got that call from nathanial, it really hit us. it took me to nathanial, it really hit us. it took metoa nathanial, it really hit us. it took me to a place emotionally where i felt like i had lost my mum again when i heard this news of my close

friends. so it was an emotional experience, to be completely honest. candice, thank you so much for coming back, i rememberso candice, thank you so much for coming back, i remember so well speaking to you beforehand and we talked about so many things, including not being able to say goodbye to your mum as well and trying to cope right now without the support necessarily of friends and family directly. how are you doing? hello. i and taking family directly. how are you doing? hello. land taking each day as it comes, that is all you can really do. i comes, that is all you can really do. land in contact with my family and friends daily and obviously the lockdown being lifted a bit, i met some friends yesterday, social distance to. but obviously it is very ha rd distance to. but obviously it is very hard because i also live with my mum so very hard because i also live with my mum so it is like i have lost my household. 1 my mum so it is like i have lost my household. ldon't think my mum so it is like i have lost my household. 1 don't think i my mum so it is like i have lost my household. ldon't think i will ever get back to any sort of normality but i get back to any sort of normality but lam get back to any sort of normality but i am trying to go each day as it

goes. candice, when you hear poetry like the one hussain has written for us and ucr to come even graffiti, remembering the lives lost, how does that help you? —— and ucr to work, even graffiti. some of the people that have done it have not lost their loved ones to this, it is nice they are acknowledging that we have. obviously you see the numbers and the statistics but they are not, they are loved ones, family members, best friends, brothers, sisters. so seeing everyone, whether they have lost it through this or not, acknowledge it through poetry or art, it is really nice because it means you are not alone and people are there to support you even know they cannot be with you physically. hussain, it is lovely to hear that from candies. dealing with grief is so hard, but particularly in these times when you can't go and hug your

friends and you can't necessarily say goodbye? yes, it is exceptionally difficult. what me and hackney and and another organisation had decided to do is to launch a foundation at the end of august is to help people figure out ways they can creatively express themselves for free can creatively express themselves forfree —— can creatively express themselves for free —— hackney can creatively express themselves forfree —— hackney empire. we will be running online courses to help people, especially through arts. when my mother passed away, lots of people came to me and at that time i never realised how privileged i was to even have a funeral for her, but one thing somebody said to me was your mum can teach you everything, but what she can't do is teach you how to live without her, and not stuck with me forever. but what aided me was the arts, poetry, running, painting, drawing, these

such additional methods of expression but i feel as if intraday‘s society we are losing, and that is what me and hackney empire and trinity wharf are looking to bring back. candies, what is helping you? obviously speaking to friends and family, and there are a couple of groups on facebook! friends and family, and there are a couple of groups on facebook 1 have joined, there is a one called covid—19 families, and another one remembering covid—19 with thousands of members who have all lost someone and all telling the story of how we lost someone. i will put a post and a week later lost someone. i will put a post and a weeklaterl lost someone. i will put a post and a week later i will put another, because i know if i do not speak to them every day they are still there to support me a week later. even though we are all experiencing grief differently there is a certain part where we know how we are all feeling because lots of us were not fair to say goodbye, so that is helping me a

lot during this time. is that your mum behind you in prominent position in the frame? yes, pride of place. how important is it to keep are not just in your thoughts, of course you will be, and your heart at all times, but almost wanting to tell the world about her and share her life when you have not been able to meet up? ijust want life when you have not been able to meet up? i just want to life when you have not been able to meet up? ijust want to keep her spirits alive. she was only 58, she was gone way too soon, i want everyone to know who she is. she was taken everyone to know who she is. she was ta ken way too everyone to know who she is. she was taken way too soon from this world, from me and my sisters and my nieces, l from me and my sisters and my nieces, i want to keep her spirits alive, to everything she wanted to do, see everything she wanted to see, i had to keep going. what are those little things you want to do for your man those little things you want to do foryour man in those little things you want to do for your man in the years ahead? next year she was going to be 60. --

for your next year she was going to be 60. -- foryour mum, in next year she was going to be 60. -- for your mum, in the years ahead? me, my older sister and for your mum, in the years ahead? me, my older sisterand my for your mum, in the years ahead? me, my older sister and my mum were going to go to las vegas, me and my sister will go for her, we will see a show, see the grand canyon, because my mum had never been to america, have afternoon tea at the ritz, she did that once years ago. i have been speaking to her best friends and they are saying that l had to come on holiday with them, i am not their replacements but i will be there for her and we will do other things she wanted to do. hussain, nobody at home could see you but i could see while candice was speaking, you are sending her a lovely sign. you have found that really important as well, haven't you, talking about your mum? yes, it definitely helps. one of my good friends, her name is megan roxanne, she is a writer, when

i lost my mum i was quite fortunate to have people around me who were writers, they know what to say, and she said people only die when you stop talking about them, that is from megan roxanne and that stuck with me. candace, i know! from megan roxanne and that stuck with me. candace, i know i can't see you, hearing your story, with me. candace, i know i can't see you, hearing yourstory, it's heartbreaking but what i want to tell you as someone who has lost his mum unexpectedly, you will get through this. she's left you so many secrets, she will give you signs from over ever she is, keep an eye out, she will come in your dreams, i know there is so much in life that she will miss but now she loves you and we are all here for you. everyone who is going through something like this, i am truly sorry i could not be on the news to give you more of a positive message. britain, england, the united kingdom, we are doing a greatjob of coming together but we have to do more. what a beautiful thing to say andi more. what a beautiful thing to say and i can tell you candies has accepted that with grace and

emotion. thank you both so much. candice, best of luck, i hope to speak to you again in better circumstances. thank you very much. just moments after we had that conversation with linda about the importance of peer support and people helping each other through friendships and new links, there you have the perfect example, to people who had never met, who do not know one another but helping one another through this terrible time. whatever is going on with you, details of organisations offering information and support with bereavement are available at bbc.co.uk/actionline, or you can call for free at any time to hear recorded information on 08000158 707. and his same ‘s poem coming up here just before 9am this morning. i know it has captured your heart this morning. and it will continue to do

so. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. carol, you had mentioned snow and sleet. that's right, you were paying attention, friday night into saturday morning about 600 metres in northern scotland. you could see some snow and sleet, quite incredible when you think about the warmest day of the year so far in the highlands, the 29th of may, reached 28.3 degrees. we can kiss goodbye to those levels after today, some of us still see high temperatures, the weather changing. this beautiful weather watchers picture this morning from kent, sunshine around, we will see rain in the forecast in the next few days. the ring going to be fairly hit and miss where we get it and how much, also going to turn cooler and brazier, the breeze or the wind, depending which state we are talking about will come from the north. first thing this morning lots of dry weather around for england, wales, northern ireland, southern scotland.

some sunshine. already we have cloud and rain across the north of scotland, slipping southwards. we hang on across the channel islands, the isle of wight, the isles of scilly, england and wales, the sunshine, could catch the odd shower in the north of england through this afternoon, including northern ireland. most of the rain and showers in scotland and some of those could be heavy and thundery. one thing you notice, as this front, cold front sinks south, it will turn much colder behind it. yesterday in the north—west highlands it was 26 degrees, today it will be 12! ahead of it, still looking at high temperatures, in liverpool for example, it's 22 but in the south—east, 27 or 28 possible this afternoon. and that's it then for the high temperatures. overnight this band of rain sinks south taking heavy bursts are crossed southern scotland, northern england, wales. doesn't get into the south—east,

dries up behind it, mostly in western scotland and northern ireland. not going to be a particularly cold night for most of us, staying in double figures. we pick up the rain tomorrow, it continues descending south—east writs. the heaviest burst in wales, south—west england, the midlands, gloucestershire. we may see some in the south—east but if we do, not huge amounts. behind it, something brighter, still with the risk of showers. note the temperatures. going down across the board, highs of 18 in london by the time we get to tomorrow. couple that with the brisk northerly winds, gusting 30—40 miles an hour in the north of the country, going to feel much cooler. as we head into thursday, we see showers almost anywhere, cloudy day, cool day. going to be a breezy day, temperatures again nothing to write home about, if anything, temperatures going to be below average. you can never say the weather is still, can you? definitely not. that will teach us

to complain it was too hot! we are never happy, it is too hot, too dry, too wet! there is someone listening too wet! there is someone listening to you, an old friend. let's see if we can make him smile, bill turnbull will be on the telly in a couple of minutes, carol. see you in a little while. and we are looking forward to seeing bill again. but first, while. and we are looking forward to seeing billagain. but first, let's get a catchup of the main news this morning. hello, this is breakfast with louise minchin and jon kay. thousands of heavily—armed soldiers and police have been deloyed in washington after president trump issued a blunt warning, that widespread protests across the us must come to an end. demonstrations have been triggered by the death of african—american man, george floyd, who was pinned down by police in minneapolis last week. standing outside the white house, mr trump said mayors and state governors must establish a presence of overwhelming law enforcement to stop the rioting and looting. measures to relax the 14—day quarantine rule for those entering the uk over coming months,

are being considered by the government. the plans may include allowing visitors to travel to the uk from countries with low infection rates. from monday, most people arriving by plane, ferry or train — including uk nationals — must self—isolate for two weeks. mps and businesses have expressed concern, warning it will damage the travel industry. it's 8:37am. more people were diagnosed with prostate cancer than any other form of cancer for the first time in march last year, according to annual figures from prostate cancer uk. increased awareness of the disease has been credited to former breakfast presenter bill turnbull and actor stephen fry, who have both shared their stories about diagnosis and treatment. brea kfast‘s tim muffett

reports on how this has helped to save lives by encouraging other men to be tested. carl was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2018. he went to see a doctor after a familiar face on telly spoke of familiar—sounding symptoms. it started, i would say, about two years ago last april. we was watching the television, my daughter and i, and bill turnbull came on, and it came to light the symptoms i had were much the same. so what were the symptoms you had which made you think something might be wrong? getting up in the night for a pee, you know? i'd be up five, six times in the night. obviously there was something wrong. and i was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer, and it did come as a shock. for the first time, more people have been diagnosed with prostate cancer than any other form of the disease. there were more than 57,000 diagnoses in the uk, according to the latest

annualfigures. the numbers more than doubled over the past 20 years. in the uk, more than 400,000 men are now living with the condition. so why has there been this increase in cases? there are more men in the at—risk age group which is the over—50s, so those men are at an increased risk and there are more of them as a result of changing demographics. we were expecting this day to come but it's come quite a lot sooner than we expected. and when bill turnbull and stephen fry spoke of their diagnoses, awareness was raised significantly. there was a big increase in the number of men getting symptoms checked out. unlike conditions such as cervical or breast cancer, there is no national screening programme for prostate cancer. right now, there isn't a reliable enough test and many believe that will be the key to spotting cases early. we don't even have a screening programme so we are

urgently needing to get to the point where we have good enough tests so we can get that screening programme, and that's going to take research. caugh early, prostate cancer has a good survival rate. hi, bill. hi, how are you, mate? we filmed in 2018 when carl and his daughter lisa met bill in person for the first time. thank you so much. carl has responded well to treatment — his cancer is being kept in check. bill's was caught too late. his is incurable. how important is it that other men get it checked out if they are in doubt? it's very important. if they have the same symptoms to what i had, don't think twice, just go and do it now because there's no...the only thing is the embarrassment of it, there is nothing bad or anything like that. i was caught in time, well in time. with many hospital appointments postponed, there are fears the current pandemic has left a lot of cancers undetected and untreated, hence a reminderfrom medical

professionals and cancer charities, if in doubt, see a doctor. tim muffett, bbc news. bill joins us now from his home in suffolk. ii'm i i'm absolutely delighted. very good morning to you, lovely to see you and i know lots of people watching will want to know how are you doing? well, i'm ok, louise, lovely to speak to you. i managed to finish a course of treatmentjust before the lockdown started which was fairly successful. but then once you finish a course, the cancer, in my case, because i more advanced than many others starts coming back and you just spend your time dry to hold things at bay. i had good days and bad days, the bad days are when something feels wrong and i have pain and! something feels wrong and i have pain and i don't understand what's going on. and the good days are like today, i feel ok, i going on. and the good days are like today, ifeel ok, ican going on. and the good days are like today, ifeel ok, i can enjoy life

just the same as everybody else. i'm ona just the same as everybody else. i'm on a journey. just dry to keep the cancer in its place. tell us a little bit about lockdown, for you. well, i've been warned by may be immune deficient, compromised, to a certain extent, i don't know, so i had to stay away from people more perhaps than others have, but i'm in a beautiful part of the country to do that. and my wife is looking after me. and my two sons are here as well, they came up before lockdown, we've had a pretty good family time of it, to be honest, they've been able to work from home. i'm still managing to talk to people about the marsden about my treatment, a wonderful gp who looks after me so for us, it's been ok. you have done such an incredible thing by speaking out when you did about what you are going through. you have really changed lives and will continue to do so. how important is that for you? well,

it's a huge consolation, if you like. it helps me, doing work with people like prostate cancer uk, i feel i can give something back, i can do something constructive with my disease rather than just suffering with it on my own so it has helped me, it's been quite gratifying, in some ways and i still have a lot of people getting in touch with me to see and to tell me where they are with their disease but some very sad moments. someone got in touch with me last week, her husband died from prostate cancer and he'd had difficulty urinating for two years and hadn't told her. and if he had told her, told his doctor, he might be alive today and that's the sort of thing that we need to get a hold of. bill, i know you struggle for a while before you we nt you struggle for a while before you went public with this, wondering if it was the right thing to do and whether you want to put yourself out there. when you see these figures, there. when you see these figures, the numberof there. when you see these figures, the number of people going to be

tested, that must be some kind of consolation, you did the right thing? well, it is and the great thing? well, it is and the great thing also, lots of people getting their disease caught early, stage i or stage three, they can watch and wait or they can get treated and can deal with that which is wonderful. but there are still concerns, you rana but there are still concerns, you ran a story a little while ago about people not getting their cancer treatment, and two months overdue foran treatment, and two months overdue for an operation that i should be having twice a year. i will get it fairly shortly, i hope, but that's the sort of thing happening. more particularly, prostate cancer uk, there research programme has been slowed down because people haven't beenin slowed down because people haven't been in the laboratories and their funding has dropped off a cliff, like other charities. they are in a moment now, they really need to build that backup so that the research, hugely important, and new ways of treatment, can be supported so they desperately need more money.

one of the worrying thing is you would have read in the newspapers, people being afraid to go to their doctors sometimes, maybe at this point thinking i don't want to be a bother but they should go, shouldn't they? yes, they absolutely should. one point as people are worried about the virus and going there, i went to my gp the other day. for an injection. and it was a bit like fort knox, amazing, i was really impressed, there is no danger catching anything. they will let you in and you can go there and if you have a problem, please, for heaven sake, get it checked, it might be nothing which will be fantastic but the worst thing that can happen is to die of embarrassment and people do. that isjust to die of embarrassment and people do. that is just desperately sad. please, if you have aches and pains that you cannot explain, like i did, for months on end, i have things that were wrong with me and i thought, it will pass, i ended up in a situation where my treatment isn't

a shirt on, i got out of my pyjamas, iam like a shirt on, i got out of my pyjamas, i am like a kid on christmas morning, i cannot wait to go racing. how have you been getting ready for today? it's over three months since i actually competed. we still have to exercise the horses. in newmarket, we had 3000 of them. it's nice, yesterday, to watch live sport for the first time, it's going to be a bit weird, no crowds. but we are following the golden guidelines with the two metre guideline. we had ten races yesterday. it's quite remarkable that two weeks today we will start royal ascot behind closed doors. that's going to be a bit different. at least the sport is on tv. we have gone forward. it's incredible, you should as your mask, have you been riding wearing the mask and how is it going?” have you been riding wearing the mask and how is it going? i have

been training in the gym with it, i had been riding in the morning to get used to it, obviously is not the same. but we have to do everything we can to keep everybody safe. this is not going to be forever, for the time being we have to wear it. so be it. you posted a really poignant picture a couple of days ago. 20 yea rs, picture a couple of days ago. 20 years, just a day over 20 years since that plane crash that nearly claimed your life. looking back over the last 2 decades how much did that change, that moment in time, how much did that change the direction of your life? it definitely changed my life, something that never goes away, it is in the back of your mind, a trauma, very scary. it was yesterday that the guy who was on the plane crash with me, he was the 1 that dragged me away from the inferno, he saved my life. we had a

bottle of champagne together, we celebrated. we celebrated our 2nd life. we raised a glass to the pilot patrick, who unfortunately passed away in that tragic accident. we tried to get a positive out of it. but it was not a very pleasant experience. just finally from me, how are your family experience. just finally from me, how are yourfamily in experience. just finally from me, how are your family in italy? experience. just finally from me, how are yourfamily in italy? i know that you have been helping them during lockdown. yes, obviously my mum, she is over 70, she has to be very careful, she is in milan along with my sister and dad, but fingers crossed they have been very lucky, they are following the guidelines, staying in their home, i know it's frustrating for everyone. italy seems to come out of it at the moment. i think we are just 2 weeks behind them so hopefully, very soon, we will be able to lead a normal life and hopefully we will get the crowd back to the sport. so great to see you, best of luck for today.

lovely to see you and thank you for talking to us. thank you. kiss to you as well. and thank you for getting out of its pyjamas, slightly disappointing, in some ways, i think esther should appear in their pyjamas. everybody watching at home is in their pyjamas, surely? i think we should. you 1st! some people sometimes accuse me of wearing pyjamas here. and sally, thank you so much. we will see you later. it's 8:51am. filming for tv programmes has been put on hold during lockdown and many production companies are having to come up with creative ways to make content. bbc one's drama series ‘doctors', is no exception. a 45—minute episode has been entirely self—shot by the cast, while at home, on their mobile phones. let's take a look. valerie! what are you doing? you, you lucky man.

i'm here to cheer you up. oh, for goodness' sake. give me strength. # when i'm with you baby. # i go out of my head. # ijust can't get enough. # we walk together, we're walking down the street. # ijust can't get enough. # it's getting hotter, it's a burning love. # and ijust can't seem to get enough of...# synth music plays. we're nowjoined by actor sarah moyle and ‘doctors' executive producer mike hobson. good morning to both of you and thank you so much. sarah, good job,

how was that, trying to film yourself? it was quite daunting, i have to say. i have the greatest respect for all my colleagues to do all the important jobs. and respect for all my colleagues to do all the importantjobs. and wejust do the showing off. having to be cameraman, props maker, costume designer, you will see from that clip, it was quite daunting. mike, we know doctors, the nhs saying surgeries are still open, how important was it for you to have the doctors show open? yes, a medical show, we always try to reflect the current times and after lockdown, when we finished, we couldn't continue to film at the site in the drama village, myself and the series producer and various others talked about what we could do to reflect the current time and we felt like that was what was happening with the medical profession so we should be trying to sell that, really. that's

what we set about to do. how much kind of direction did you have to give all the actors? well, our actors are really brilliant and they know their characters wonderfully well and sarah know their characters wonderfully welland sarah said, know their characters wonderfully well and sarah said, sorted out the camera work and the props and they we re camera work and the props and they were making cold tea for beer and things like that, really getting into it. but what we did do was based on their mobile phones and we skype through, the series producer, a couple of the technical team, we we nt a couple of the technical team, we went through into their homes with another device next to them so we could see exactly what they were putting down on their film, their cameras. and send it back to us. it was almost like, really, we did most of the performance in a few hours. across 13 different cast members. of the performance in a few hours. across 13 different cast membersm went very well. we are seeing another exchange. another part of the special lockdown episode. that you are doing. sarah, if anyone had ever told you you would be making an

episode of this drama series like this come over your phone, filming it yourself, you would never have believed them, would you? absolutely not. like i say, the technical side of things is not my forte. neither is hairand make—up, as you of things is not my forte. neither is hair and make—up, as you can tell. but it's exciting. as well, to suddenly be put in that position and find new ways to work. so, i wouldn't have believed it but here we are! and it's happening and i think probably, in the future, we are going to have to find more in new ways to produce television programmes. well, we've been learning here as well. thank you both very much indeed. sarah and mike, thank you, great to speak to you. greatjob on the hair and make—up, by the way! the lockdown episode of doctors will air on bbc one on 12 june at 1:45pm that's all from us for today. we'll be back tomorrow from six. we'll leave you with a special performance

from poet hussain manawar, who has been reflecting on the pandemic so far. this is his poem ‘keeping you alive'. piano music plays. 2020. a year we all had high hopes for. but what happened ? none of us could have predicted. our lives changed overnight. our movement became restricted. we met loneliness in isolation. it's not the same when you try to be social when you're distant. and i know there's moments that have passed, moments that should have been celebrated. i know every community has sacrificed many

traditions that are sacred. i know your pain just doesn't go awayjust because you're hibernated. and i know there's not a manual on how you're supposed to grieve when you're isolated. so if you lost someone you loved, you take the sound of their laugh and keep it in the depth of your heart. because we are keeping them alive. you take all the words they spoke and you wrap them in hope. because we are keeping them alive. you find all the dreams they wrote and you hold them close. because we are keeping them alive. and somewhere deep in my mind i pray it's you that i find.

because i have been keeping you alive. we couldn't be more proud as a nation of all the key workers. all the nhs staff. and that's you completely breathing on your own. we hold you all with courage and admiration. thank you for your deeper level of understanding. thank you for your bravery and your patience. and now we light candles. for the goodbyes we never got to say. and we hold you in our hearts every single time that we pray. because it's the love that we have that will never fade away. it's the conversations in isolation that really saved the day. how we found ways to come together. to help carry each other‘s pain.

because we are keeping you alive. and in the words of captain tom... tomorrow will be a good day.
