while being restrained by police in the us city of minneapolis last week, are joining tens of thousands of people on a march in his hometown, houston. in philadelphia, the us democratic presidential candidate joe biden said black communities — already hard hit by the economic and health fall—out of the coronavirus pandemic — were being victimised, and their cries of anger were being ignored. president trump is facing a backlash over visits to two religious landmarks in washington. the president and the first lady — melania trump — visited the saintjohn paul ii national shrine in washington as well as st john's episcopal church. clashes have broken out in paris between riot police and protesters demonstrating over the death of a black man in police custody in france four years ago.

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 metro says the covid—19 divide in the country is widening, with fatalities and new infections far more common in some regions than in london. the guardian reports that the opposition leader — keir starmer has accused borisjohnson of causing a collapse in public confidence over the government's handling of the coronavirus crisis and warned that number ten will be directly responsible if the infection rate starts to rise again. the daily telegraph focuses on the uk's travel restrictions — with the government saying 14—day

quarantine restrictions for anyone entering the country are vital to prevent second peak of coronavirus. according to the daily mirror, foreign holidays could be possible this summer as it predicts controversial quarantine plans look set to be relaxed. the daily mail also says ministers are rushing to soften 14—day quarantine plans — with health secretary matt hancock saying he was optimistic about people's holiday prospects. 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 "no choice" but to offer them a route to british citizenship if china strips them of theirfreedom. so let's begin. welcome to both of you. thank you for joining welcome to both of you. thank you forjoining us virtually this evening. let's start off talking

about the ft, frontpage here, a lot of international newspapers carrying this, talking about the protests over the killing of george floyd in america and the ft talking about protest power as anger grows. anger growing of course towards president trump but also towards the us in general and its history in terms of race relations stephen bush. yeah, and it is reminiscent of two moments in us history, riots against vietnam in richard nixon's tram for reelection in 1972 and riots in los angeles caused again by long—term resentment for afghan americans and how they're treated in 1992 in which the incumbent was not reelected. the question being which one will be the history that repeats in november when of course donald trump is going

for reelection? which one do you think? it's very hard to set this point but trump is more unpopular than any incumbent president going for reelection since herbert hoover, so for reelection since herbert hoover, so it's very difficult for him even allowing for the fact that his electoral coalition is very well designed to win the electoral couege designed to win the electoral college even if he loses the popular vote. laura what is your take on that? i think that donald trump is probably worried by polling that has putjob biden his democratic arrival ahead of him especially in some swing states and so he is keen on to a friend's really. he is trying to push the stories about coronavirus down the front pages was a —— on two fronts really. because he has come under a lot of criticism for the very high death toll and his handling of this whole pandemic. and then secondly this sort of place into something that he has done before which is to capitalise on a sense that public law and order is

somehow at risk, it is in danger and he is the man who is going to be tough on protests and riots and keep americans safe. he is in a sense, critics have argued, stoking the violence and trying to sort of create more divisions which is actually incredibly unhelpful. joe biden has been speaking today and said that george floyd's final comments i can't breathe should be a wake—up call for america but he have chris has some sticky history on some of these issues and has made comments about race in america over the last few months. but i think the election coming up the fact that we have serious unappointed and dissatisfaction in america and huge rates of mortality have really because the president some trouble and he is trying to somehow take

control and capitalise on the situation. these are life pictures of protests happening in washington that viewers are seeing right now. stephen we saw this bizarre pictures of president trump standing in front of president trump standing in front of the stjohn‘s episcopal church in washington, the presidents church it is called, holding up a copy of the bible. why do you think he did that? i think because he thought it would bea i think because he thought it would be a good photo of to be shown in front of a church holding a bible. this is the country in which public displays of religiosity are things people expect from the poetical leaders. i think it is no more, get it than that. what kind of an effective laura do you think what has happened over the last week has had on the american psyche? because it has been a brutal, has in it? yeah, ithink it has been a brutal, has in it? yeah, i think it is probably brought a lot of deep rooted feeling to the surface, and it's highlighted once

again african—americans are disproportionately economically worse off and have disproportionately been hit by coronavirus as we have seen here in the uk as well but the report out today. and these are deep—rooted issues in american society and i don't think anyone would deny that and this one killing given the current climate given what is happening in america hasjust really brought it to the surface and there still does not seem to be a solution and it brings out the best and worst of people when something like this happens. it's pretty extraordinary as well to see a story really take over from coronavirus that has dominated the news, dominated our front pages and most today even here in the uk are waiting on the stories in the uk are waiting on the stories in the images of the protests coming out in america. they are indeed. let's move on from what is going on in america and talk about what is

going on in the uk in terms of the coronavirus. let's go to the front page of the daily mail and here we have the headline save our summer holidays this is all about the iii day self—isolation seems set to be introduced on monday for everyone arriving in the uk. a lot of people are worried about this. steve a lot of people saying why now at this point in the whole coronavirus timeline? and a lot of businesses saying if this goes ahead, it is going to spell a different full—time for us, we will have to let go staff and lose money. this is particular difficult for the uk's tourism industry and other parts of the country are very dependent on the tourist trade, the daily mail single on it, the idea being if you want someone to have a two—week warranty before they arrive in the uk, that will reciprocated in many ways our owi'i will reciprocated in many ways our own death rate the fact that we seem

to have a high level of community transmission still means that if we we re transmission still means that if we were to and the quarantine, you and i would be starving to go on holiday. if you are say a business owner in cornwall, this is a big existential threat to you. i think it is something a lot of tory mps feel strongly about and we may see a major rebellion about on the floor of the house of commons. more what do you think was meant there is a lot of pressure on the prime minister. interesting the male brings up the site of travel corridors mit has come to deal with countries that breath i to go on holiday over the summer and countries that might like to send people over here to spend the summer. i think that could be a way out of this, the pm in terms of a compromise and the other thing they said that the daily mail is looking at is whether you can actually test people for coronavirus on arrival. but i think we are still going to have to wait a bit of time before these plans are finalised. there

might bea these plans are finalised. there might be a lot of people that actually don't really like the idea of going abroad this summer, don't feel like it's safe and would rather holiday at home and help support the british tourism industry that way. that might be something we see out and start to encourage over the next few weeks. stephen, priti patelwas saying wasn't she today that quarantining people arriving in the uk is crucial to prevent a second coronavirus peak but critics have wondered why this wasn't brought about to prevent the first coronavirus peak. that in some ways is the difficulty the government finds itself in. they have i think the correct position on quarantining i'iow wassup the correct position on quarantining now wassup they had what i think was the incorrect position to begin. but it is hard to argue that they were right both times. i think the difficulty is going to be people who think they should've walked down earlier will give them credit for ending the quarantine in place now and the people who do support their

currency and the people who do support their currency when i can the credit for that either. let's talk about the daily telegraph front page on the bottom here. tonightjohnson take control and shake—up at number ten. this article talking about borisjohnson taking control of the government—sponsored handling of the coronavirus crisis was up and says after a chaotic fortnight in which his chief aide was accused of breaking lockdown rose and the government's test and trace plans were hit by setbacks. laura, is at the right thing to do to ta ke laura, is at the right thing to do to take direct control was that what does that even mean? my first question is what has he been doing these last few months? i think most people would have expected the prime minister to have direct control over his government's handling of one of the biggest public health crises we have seen in decades. but this story has been around for a bit, this idea of to centrally run committees, one will be looking at strategy, one looking at operational delivery for the interesting point the telegraph are making today is that tory mps

think it might be a way of neutralising the dominant cummings power of the prime minister and after the pm's aide was alleged to have broken the rules, did break the rules. the government are in a bit ofa rules. the government are in a bit of a mess and trying to get on a front foot. and that had been weeks of reported issues, contact tracing app that we were promised we have not seen, there have been issues around testing, numbers and testing. the pm currently wanting to make a stand here but i would have assumed he had quite an important role in the approach the government has been taking in overseeing what ministers have been doing. we know that boris johnson does often step back and let other people take charge of situations but i think with this one, it is pretty unusual for him to

not have had a really direct role and handle of this crisis except of course when he was himself in intensive care with the virus. sivan what is your take on a? it comes back to the big extremity of the short —— boris johnson back to the big extremity of the short —— borisjohnson permission. we forget that he was the mayor of london and his approach was to delegate, hire talented underlings but the problem is the office of the prime minister in our system is quite underpowered in terms of its civil service machinery. the big question is can you take that governing style, implanted into downing street, and succeed? thus for the spirit doesn't appear to be producing very good results but it is early days. —— thus far the experiment. one tory mps said the shake—up was in order to break up decision—making. the mp says boris sessler cummings is there but he would take more direct control

coming out of frustration after a reactive meaning —— reawakening are very tough full—time. reactive meaning —— reawakening are very tough full-time. this is a general problem prime ministers have. they announce things, pull levers and they don't happen. and thatis levers and they don't happen. and that is a challenge for prime ministers like david cameron and tony blair who had quite a grip on detail will only boris johnson who i think even his allies will concede is not really a details man. they brought in a serious civil servant, a heavy weight there, so their hope will be in bolstering this intermission, this new committee will allow downing street to get a grip. there is a big question about whether or not downing street is built to do this kind of thing and to accommodate a prime minister with the executive style that boris johnson has. let's move on to talk about the guardian. the front page, you caved first at that which is 50,000 which is but graham. and the international comparisons as well. interestingly the article goes on to also talk

about one of the big stress that came out today which is the head of the uk statistics authority accusing the uk statistics authority accusing the government of exaggerating the number of tests for coronavirus that are being taken place every day. they argued that the government is just so upset with getting the number as high as possible that they are counting tests that are being sent out before they have actually been conducted and results have come back and that they haven't put up numbers on how many people are actually being tested every day. and this does links with the sort of high mortality rate we are seeing in the government not quiet having a handle on the situation. i remember when we were talking about 20,000 people dying being sort of worst—case scenario and clearly we have exceeded that figure. and the ft has done a lot of number crunching itself and we found that we have one of the worst death rates in the world if not the worst. so,

when this public inquiry happens as iam sure when this public inquiry happens as i am sure it will, the main question is why? why did the uk struggled so badly? why have we seen such high mortality rates? and this is going to bea mortality rates? and this is going to be a real problem for the prime minister going forward because they talked about being cautious with international comparisons but it's really ha rd not international comparisons but it's really hard not to look around the world and see the different numbers and see the different strategies and approaches that governments were taking at the beginning of the crisis that our scientists and politicians decided we didn't need to do. stephen the interesting thing here is the confusion with figures. which figures to be go with? the official figures according to the ons official figures according to the 0ns was back the 50,000 figure? it all seems quite confusing. the ons and the government itself has been pretty clear and that it is the excess death figures, the comparison of the numberof excess death figures, the comparison of the number of people we would expect to die in a usual geared than

is the useful number but of course one of the things the government does have a legitimate point about is we are not at the end of this crisis yet and so the numbers, not just our own but across the world, will kind of the easter to make sense of at the end of the year than they are right now for the —— what kind of be easier. let's move back to the daily telegraph. mps do the coronavirus congo to cast a vote. they didn't quite do the congo because that would really be a news story. what they did do was cue up news story. what they did do was cue up like many of us have done outside the supermarkets and pharmacies over the supermarkets and pharmacies over the last 10—11 weeks and they are queuing up to cast their vote on the future proceedings in the house. quite an incredible thing to do. what do you make it that, work was like a lot of people criticising it saying why are all these mps coming to westminster, they can do the job perfectly well from home. exactly and the main reason for the criticism is that it is prevented a watch of mps who fall into

vulnerable categories from coming and exercising their democratic duty in the house of commons. they had a system that was working perfectly well. the government is encouraging the public to work from home where possible and it was possible for mps to do this and they have had to come from all parts of the country to cast their vote and itjust from all parts of the country to cast their vote and it just took hours and there were farcical pictures that mps themselves were taking and videos they were recording of them alljust hanging around for hours and i think the public probably look at that and think of what a waste of time. think of all the constituent concerns they might have been able to deal with in the hours that they restate queuing to get into parliament. it is not aroused that the government needed, those pictures are really quite ludicrous wasn't —— it was not a row that the government needed for some it is hard to understand why they chose to pick this fight given the

dominant cummings row, given all the stories out there. it all feels a bit unnecessary. stephen why do you think that mps were told to come into permit? the first reason is the leader of the house jacob rees—mogg slightly i think surprised downing street and the rest of the government with the shape of these plans because he is a long—term opponent of things like a very successful online voting system being rolled out. the other is that many people in the government think it is harder to enforce parliamentary discipline when people are at home pressing a button and you can't have them a stern talk about what it means for the future and bringing mps back will make it easier for the tory party to stay united or once again be united depending on your perspective. of course the question is they had quite a big rebellion today, not enough to defeat them but quite a big one so it may be that they come back for nothing. let's move onto oui’ back for nothing. let's move onto our final story back for nothing. let's move onto ourfinal story of back for nothing. let's move onto our final story of the evening in the times. the front page about hong

kong, pm offers hope of refuge for 3 million hong kong people, this is basically borisjohnson saying britain will not walk away from the people of hong kong. he said that if things continue the way they are, then britain will have no choice but to offer the people of hong kong a route to uk citizenship if china strips them of their freedom. laura quite a big statement the prime minister. this story sort of trickled out over the last few days. initially the government said that british nationalists overseas who had the special passports would have the right to come to the uk for 12 months, not six months as it is currently, and that would in itself pave its way for citizenship is that they have not sent out any more details as to how that would work, thatis details as to how that would work, that is the government line for some and then came at that it is notjust the 30,000 who have these passports, it is the 2.9 million people who have a right to apply for this

passports and myjust not have renewed them over the last few years since 1997. this is a huge amount of people that potentially could come here. of course the foreign secretary dominic raab said that is very unlikely, not everyone is going to move here. the reason why the government is taking this action is because they feel china is breaking the principles of the joint declaration, that the two countries agreed when hong kong was passed to china from england, the uk, a former colony. and there is a real sort of sense that it's the right thing to do morally to stand up to china at this moment in time. but this is also quite a contrast with the rhetoric we saw during the brexit campaign about people coming to this country and having control of our borders. so it is incredibly generous offer and i think it also signals a moment in history where the uk government is really standing up the uk government is really standing up to china. and is not afraid to

make its feelings very well known and heard on the international stage. we are out of time, stephen bush and will refuse, and has been anf bush and will refuse, and has been an fso bush and will refuse, and has been an f so pleasure to have you both on the programme. thank you on —— for a company in going through some of those front pages for me. and that is set for the papers thank you once again to my guests stephen and laura, bye—bye for now. before we take you to the latest sports news i want to take you to the wives seen in washington as the cu rfew the wives seen in washington as the curfew nears in the us capital. there will be continuing coverage of these protests, desire life pictures of protesters there. continue coverage on the bbc news channel throughout the evening and you can get much more on our website bbc duck, for some now it is time for the latest sports. hello, i'm jane dougall with your latest sports news. formula 1 is returning.

next month, the 2020 season will get back under way with eight races starting in austria. two will be held on back—to—back weekends at silverstone in august. the only way you'll be able to see it is on television. 0ur sports editor dan roan reports from silverstone. 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 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 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. 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. football now liverpool manager jurgen klopp says he'd be happy to play on mars if it meant his club could finish their matches. the premier league is due to return on the 17th ofjune with neutral venues a possibility in order to stop fans from gathering outside of stadiums. klopp says if it means clinching their first league title for 30 years, he's willing to do anything. when the alternative is not to play at all, i 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. and finally, the 11—year—old british skateboarder sky brown is recovering from a fractured skull and broken wrist after falling during training in california. a dramatic video posted via her social media channels shows brown who was hoping to become britain's youngest summer 0lympian in tokyo falling from a ramp before being taken to hospital. she was said to be unresponsive on arrival but should fully recover. good news, isn't it? that's all the sport for now. bye— bye. hello there. the temperature reached 27 celsius in hampshire on tuesday but that was the last of the very warm days for probably quite some time. the next few days at least will be feeling much cooler thanks to a northerly wind, more cloud, and some wet weather around as well. and that rain certainly arrived in scotland during tuesday knocking the temperatures back as well.

and the cloudier weather together with the rain is continuing to push its way southwards overnight. many areas by the end of the night will have had some rain. the exceptions really being towards the south—east and east anglia where it is going to be a little chilly in the countryside. and probably drying off later in the night for northern ireland and western scotland. but some cloudy skies for wednesday in england and wales. and some outbreaks of rain, too could be a little heavy at times. across northern ireland, largely dry with a little bit of sunshine and missing most of the showers across western scotland where temperatures may make 18 degrees in glasgow, much cooler with the showers in eastern scotland and across the rest of the uk, temperatures quite a bit lower than they were yesterday. and continuing that cooler theme through the rest of the week because pressure is lower across scandinavia where we once had high pressure. instead, we got high pressure retreating out to the atlantic. it's not close enough to the uk and it means we are drawing down a northerly wind which will feed in that cooler air.

and continue to feed in some showers. perhaps some longer spells of rain to clear away from the south—east of england early on thursday morning, and then a little bit of sunshine but on the whole pretty cloudy skies and for the showers which could be heavy at times as well. and if anything in that northerly wind, temperatures may be even lower on thursday. typically 14—15 degrees or so and quite a bit cooler than it should be this time of year. so this weather is quite a change to what we've seen for a long time, and those cooler northerly winds pick up again on friday. we will blow down some heavy showers from the north, temperatures across southern england, south wales may get up to 16 or 17 degrees but for northern scotland, we are struggling to make double figures. and as we head into the weekend, we no longer have got high pressure close to the uk. instead we're dominated by low pressure and it's quite a deep one as well. it could bring some unusually windy weather to some northern and western parts of the uk at least for a while on saturday. there is the risk of some gales. even without the strong winds, it will feel cool in the cloud and some showers or longer spells of rain.

this is bbc news: i'm maryam moshiri with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. president trump is facing widespread condemnation, for his handling of the unrest, in dozens of american cities. violent clashes between police and protesters continue, after the death of a black man being detained by police, but the president issued this warning. 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. mr trump's likely rival in november's election comes out swinging. joe biden accuses the president of ‘fanning the flames of hate'.
