on government is under huge pressure on the policy from business and within its own conservative ranks. tom burridge, thank you for the update from heathrow. mps returned to westminster today, forming long queues in line with social distancing rules as they prepared to decide how they should hold hold votes in the house of commons from now on. the government wanted to end the virtual, or online system which was introduced in april and to return to voting in person, but critics say such a move would exclude vulnerable mps and those with caring responsibilities. our chief political correspondent vicki young has the latest. mps had been told to set an example and get back to work. for some it's a round trip of almost 1500 miles. a journey in excess of 18 hours for something that frankly is of questionable necessity. others say it's their duty to return to parliament rather than take part via video link. my home is here on the island of anglesey, and i'm going to westminster to do the job that i was democratically elected to do.

but what about government advice during the coronavirus pandemic? the government have said if we can work from home, we should, to avoid risking spreading the virus, but here we are from all corners of the uk, heading to westminster. the parliamentary authorities had installed a virtual system so mps not in the commons could still quiz the prime minister and others from home. and will he act now...? for the first time, electronic voting was allowed too. but today the leader of the commons said that must be done in person. voting while enjoying a sunny walk or whilst watching television does democracy an injustice. the solemn decisions we take together affect the lives of millions of people in this country. we ask members to vote in person for a reason because it is the heart of what parliament is about. some mps can't come back here because they or a family member are shielding at home for medical reasons. they are furious that they can't represent their constituents. there is no logic, no reason,

no justification, for not allowing mps who genuinely can't go in to have some kind of vote, whether by proxy or online. for those who did make it, there's a new voting system, supposedly designed to ensure social distancing. but as these pictures filmed by mps show... no idea what that queue is! ..it does involve a lot of queueing. the speaker was doing his best to speed things along. come on! there's other members waiting, i think it's very unfair. but after a long wait, many mps weren't impressed. kevin brennan, voting aye in the mock shambles. tugendhat, after an hour's waiting, aye. thank you. lloyd russell—moyle, aye. what a farce. the votes took three times longer than usual. but despite the inconvenience mps backed the plan to end electronic voting. tomorrow they could be queueing in the rain. vicki young, bbc news, westminster. formula 1 is coming back.

next month, the 2020 season will get under way with eight races, starting in austria. two will be held on successive weekends at silverstone in august. and today dates were announced for the resumption of test cricket injuly. our sports editor dan roan reports from silverstone. commentator: six british grand prix wins! it's one of the defining highlights of the british sporting calendar, and now silverstone will host not one but two formula 1 grands prix when the much—delayed season resumes this summer. today it was being used for private testing but the circuit needs its showpiece event and the man in charge told me of his relief. it's a huge help. it's not as good as if we were running a normal grand prix with all the fans, but it's a massive step in the right direction. like every business, we're staring down the barrel of horrific losses this year, and this will reduce the depth of the hole that we're in, but it's still a fairly sizeable hole, and it's a challenging time for us, no question. the ten teams, seven of which are based in the uk,

can now look forward to eight european races, starting in austria next month, but they'll look very different. empty stands and strict protocols, temperature checks on arrival — as we were subject to earlier — regular testing and a biosecure paddock with team size and movement heavily restricted. it's been a long break without it. obviously it was needed with everything that was going on in the world, but i've dearly missed it. i've been trying to keep myself occupied as much as i can. i've been driving on the simulator, which isn't the real thing, but, no, just buzzing to get going again. when the british grand prix gets under way here two months from now, it will mark the first time in the history of this iconic old circuit that it will host two world championship races in a single season. there had been major concerns the event wouldn't take place at all but f1 has been given an assurance by the government that its teams will be exempt from a 14—day self—isolation rule for entries to the uk.

other sports have been given similar encouragement. today the ecb announcing that england will play three back—to—back tests against the west indies on two biosecure grounds next month. the work that the medical team and the ecb logistically have done to make it the bubble, if you like, and the environment as safe as possible is incredible, really. but for the west indies to still come over here, they're obviously helping the game massively. sport's re—emergence from shutdown is gathering pace, and with a record—equalling seventh world championship in lewis hamilton's sights, this most unusual of sporting summers could still provide many memorable moments. dan roan, bbc news, silverstone. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night.

hello to viewers in the uk joining those around the world. it's now time for us to take a first look at the national and international front pages in the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the political editor of the new statesman, stephen bush and political correspondent for the financial times, laura hughes. tomorrow's front pages starting with. .. the new york times features a pictures of protesters outside

the white house in washington as president trump prepared to walk to the a nearby church, where he posed for pictures holding a bible. the international edition of the financial times shows protesters kneeling in manhattan during a rally against the killing ofgeorge floyd — as it highlights the growing anger acrosss the united states. the metro carries a picture of a protester being pushed away by police as they made a path for donald trump's walk to the church. according to the washington post, the attorney—general, william barr personally ordered law enforcement officials on the ground to clear the streets for the walk. the daily mirror show a us police office, with his weapon raised — in front of of a father and his daughter during a protest. the daily telegraph focuses on the uk's travel restrictions — with the government saying 14—day quarantine restrictions for anyone entering the coutry are vital to prevent second peak of coronavirus. in the wake of the the coronavirus pandemic — the ‘i' highlights

a warning that university funding in the uk faces its biggest ever funding crisis. and the times has borisjohnson saying the uk will not walk away from the people of hong kong and will have "nochoice" from the people of hong kong and will have "no choice" but to offer them a route to uk citizenship if china strips them of theirfreedom. so let's begin... thank you steven and laura, both of you forjoining us virtually this evening. let's start with the story thatis evening. let's start with the story that is dominating so many of the front pages and has been over the last few days, particularly in international publications. the new york times front page, trump takes america to the brink. this article by paul krugman, basically asking the fundamental question of how has america got to this point? stephen bush, your thoughts first. well, it isa bush, your thoughts first. well, it is a truly stunning story in lots of ways, these are photos that in many

ways, these are photos that in many ways we expect them to come from a state, an advanced state of disintegration, and to see it from one of the largest democracies, also one of the largest democracies, also one of the oldest democracies in the world, certainly very shocking thing for people. i think it's continues to bea for people. i think it's continues to be a very shocking and sobering story for exactly that reason. laura, what do you think the role of president trump has been in all of this? because he's been at least vocally coming down as hard as he possibly can. i think that the point that critics and democrats have been quick to make is that what the american president might be doing is trying to push stories of coronavirus down the front pages in america because the front pages in america because the death toll there has been so high and he's been really severely criticised for his handling of the pandemic and there is this argument that his critics are making that

donald trump is actually seeking to exploit the situation and to tell his loyal supporters that law and order is in threat in america, and thatis order is in threat in america, and that is something that he has done it before, so he is trying to position the police as being the victims here, and he is trying to play tough ball. and the idea being that they are telling americans, look them i will keep you safe against these rights and these protests. many are arguing that he is really actually stoking divisions ata time is really actually stoking divisions at a time that really he should be trying to unite his country. interestingly, stephen, going back to his inaugural speech might know that our north america editor, john sobel that our north america editor, john sobel, mentioned that in that inaugural speech, that american carnage, carnage on the streets about getting tough on law and order in america, months before the next election and it looks like there's carnage on the streets once more. a

far greater degree than i thank you could fairly say it existed on the streets from. 2008 -- under the last president. the big thing we don't know is whether or not the fact that this has to assume that line order will be front and centre in the minds of voters whether they go to the polls in november, does that help donald trump, the incumbent, or do people look at these protestant rights and uprisings happening across the united states and going this is yourfault, it's across the united states and going this is your fault, it's time for change. do you think anything -- do you think anything will change? it's difficult to say, because we don't know what's going to happen in november, but it seems to me that the central reason why, there is a lwa ys the central reason why, there is always a problem of how you hold your public services accountable and that holds for everything from schools to hospitals to the police. the reason why think it has a

particular deadly edge in the united states is the police force, we can see this from the cliff, right? that looks like more in the united kingdom what we would assert with an army, helicopters essentially looking closer to tanks than regular squad cars, and it's very difficult i think to disentangle the united states unique relationship with guns, it's you needs correct to make legacy around race, and it's hard to have any change. steve and i will just interrupt you there to go live to listen to roxie washington, the mother of george floyd's 60 daughter who is speaking to reporters now.|j wa nt who is speaking to reporters now.|j want everybody to know that this is what those officers took for me. at the end of the day, they get to go home and be with theirfamilies.

the day, they get to go home and be with their families. my daughter now does not have a father. he will never see her gi’ow does not have a father. he will never see her grow up, graduate, he will never walk or dine the aisle. —— walk her down the aisle. if there's a problem she's happy and it don't make having and she needs her daddy, she does not have that any more. i'm here for my baby. i'm here for george. because i wantjustice for george. because i wantjustice for him. i wantjustice for him because he was good. no matter what anybody thinks, he was good. and this is the proof, that he was a good man.

0k, ok, well, that was quite upsetting. roxie washington, the mother of george boyd's six role daughter speaking to reporters. clearly, she was very very upset. laura hughes and stephen bush, let's go back to talking to. i mean, you can see there she was very much understandably wanting justice, and thatis understandably wanting justice, and that is what a lot of people are talking about in the us right now that there hasn't been justice for african americans in particular, who they say have been targeted time and time again by police in the us. yes, that's exactly the point. these protests have been triggered by this one event, but there is a long history here of african—americans being treated unfairly by the police. it also goes really deep into american society and there is

economic inequality there as well, andl economic inequality there as well, and i think that the mass unemployment that we are seeing in america, the coronavirus pandemic has alsojust really america, the coronavirus pandemic has also just really heightened this —— the social inequalities that exist and have existed in america for a very very long time. that's why this situation has fled up quite as badly as it has. it's always rumbling under the surface here, and it's interesting to see how it plays out politically in the general election because joe biden of course is the democrat running against donald trump later this year and he himself has made some clumsy comments on himself has made some clumsy cottittiei'its on race himself has made some clumsy comments on race during this campaign and has a history of working with segregationist senators which he's apologised for, but equally, he is associated with barack obama and his presidency ends the african—american community have generally seemed to get behind joe biden. this
