it's wednesday, june 3. our top story. demonstrators have defied curfews in cities around the united states, protesting over the death of george floyd, an unarmed black man, who was killed after being restrained by police. large marches took place in los angeles, atlanta and new york. around 1,600 soldiers have been flown to bases around washington in response to the protests there. in his hometown of houston, his familyjoined 60,000 people in a march in his memory, as nada tawfik reports. this is what those officers took from me... choked with emotion, the mother of george floyd's 6—year—old daughter gianna speaks of the gaping hole left by his death. we will never see her grow up, graduate, he will never walk her down the aisle.

if there's a problem she's having and she needs her dad, she does not have that anymore. roxie washington says he was a good father who continued to take care of his family after he moved from houston to minneapolis. what she wants now is justice for him and gianna. chanting sharing in their pain and the pain of the nation, tens of thousands marched through the streets of downtown houston. alongside them, 16 members of the floyd family who again urged protesters to remain peaceful. they're expecting you to behave unbecomingly. they're expecting you to carry yourself like a fool! but we don't have to do that. once again, look around! we all we got! let me hear you say it — we all we got! all: we all we got! we all we got! all: we all we got!

0ne victory to come out of the demand for widespread change — the state where mr floyd died, minnesota, announced a civil rights investigation of the minneapolis police department. governor tim walz said that police policies and practices over the last ten years would be scrutinised. minnesotans, you can expect our administration to use every tool at our disposal to try and deconstruct systemic racism that is generations deep. and as we move forward, we're going to need to do it with the community, but i think the thing i'm hearing from the protesters is, we're not...we're not watching and we don't care what you say. we care what you do. cheering protests across the country showed no sign of waning tuesday night. in new york's union square, nurses took to their knees to show solidarity with activists. healthcare workers have been cheered daily for the efforts fighting the coronavirus, but they thought it more appropriate to applaud and honour those fighting a different kind of disease.

as an 8pm curfew set in, officials braced for another night of demonstrations and possible unrest. after months of eerily quiet streets, new york, once the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak, is finally starting to reopen. but as it does, american cities are facing another epidemic — racism, and the consequences of ignoring decades of injustice and inequality. nada tawfik, bbc news, new york. let's speak now to our north america correspondent, peter bowes, who is in los angeles and has been following the protests overnight. just give us an update on what has been happening. we know many cities still have a curfew. yes, many cu rfews enforced, including still have a curfew. yes, many curfews enforced, including here in los angeles. several nights in a row now, and what is happening, very late at night here people are still being arrested on the streets for refusing to go home after that cu rfew started. refusing to go home after that curfew started. and i think as far as those demonstrators are concerned, they believe what amounts

toa concerned, they believe what amounts to a civil disobedience violation, may be a night injail, they to a civil disobedience violation, may be a night in jail, they believe thatis may be a night in jail, they believe that is worth it in order to get their message across and to make a bigger point about racism in america. this is something we have seen right across the city, new york city, and washington, dc as well, where there were very large crowds, perhaps even more people than had been planning to go out, because of what the president had to say 2a hours ago and he is rather bizarre visit to a local church for a photo opportunity, holding a bible, which really didn't go down very well at all. he has been under criticism for that. so, looking into the future, there is obviously a huge amount of discussion about why this happened and what is going on in american society. what you think will change? what the protesters and demonstrators want to change is the wholesale attitude towards racism and race relations and especially

the attitude of police forces. they wa nt to the attitude of police forces. they want to see an end to what they see as police brutality and the kind of incidents that cause this latest outrage and uprising on the streets. i think it is recognise this is an endemic problem in the united states and it has been for many decades. it won't change or tomorrow, but they wa nt to won't change or tomorrow, but they want to see tangible signs from those in authority and looking out the white house as well, for a desire for the country to change. peter bowes, thank you for your analysis. thank you. the anger over george floyd's death has been felt here in the uk too — with protests taking place over the weekend. thousands of people chanted "black lives matter" as demonstrations were held in london, cardiff, manchester and nottingham. i think it's notjust a problem for black america, it's a problem for black people everywhere. so i think once this unrest happens in one

place in the world, everyone has a kind of solidarity with it. we have all experienced it somewhat everywhere. every country has this kind of racism. why people have had privilege for centuries and black people are angry because nobody is listening to them. their voices aren't being heard. the government isn't listening, the white house isn't listening, the white house isn't listening. it'sjust fighting for what is right, fighting for the right to live. no-one asked to be pushed at the back of the queue, but black people were. the home secretary, priti patel, will tell mps that new quarantine rules are necessary to avoid a second wave of the coronavirus later. from monday, most people entering the uk will be told to isolate for two weeks. but there will be some exemptions, as sean can explain. this, as always with these policies, sean, will be about how it works in practice. give us a sense. looks like we're getting closer to that date to when it will be carried out

in reality. let's talk about the exemptions. from monday the plan is that most arrivals into the uk will have to self—isolate. that will be for 11! days. exemptions if you're travelling from ireland, the isle of man or channel islands. and there is a list of workers who are exempt as well. ranging from road haulage to medical professionals. there's been a lot of controversy about the measures with travel companies and hospitality businesses warning they'll be hit hard if they continue. home secretary priti patel and the transport secretary have written in today's daily telegraph stressing the need for the quarantine, saying temperature testing in airports isn't as effective as people would like it to be. so that is why they want quarantine to go ahead. this is all about arrivals —

for those wanting to travel abroad, the policies of the country they're heading to are important as well. we were talking yesterday about spain's concerns with the rate of infection in the uk. and about uk tourists going to spain. today news from portugal, where the foreign affairs minister is, more positive about passengers arriving from the uk. if you are used to spending the holidays in portugal, you can come to us this summer because we are preparing well to receive you in the most safe conditions. so, that may be one option for uk travellers, but a lot of discussion between countries at the minute. and it is mentioned in this column from the secretaries of state today about air bridges, air corridors, this idea there can be some arrangement with another country that allows people to travel between them and not have too quarantine when they get there.

that is something the travel industry and people who may be plotting a summer holiday in the next few months will be looking very closely for, to see if those discussions get any further. sean, we will talk more later, thank you. italy is relaxing its lockdown restrictions further today, by allowing people to travel freely within the country, and to and from other european countries. the move is an attempt to salvage the country's summer tourism season, which is crucial to its economy and employs an estimated 4.2 million people. the measures do not apply to visitors who started their journey from outside of europe. university leaders say students might have to live and study in the same small group when campuses reopen in autumn. they've been setting out proposals for a socially—distanced student life, including virtual freshers' weeks. 0ur education correspondent, dan johnson, reports. iam i am lucy. i'm studying maths, physics, product design and music. i would like to study product design

at brunel university in london. i'm starting biology, chemistry and maths, and i would hope to study biomedical sciences. i'm hoping to study accounting and finance at nottingham. i am studying design, history and drum and i would like to do acting at guildford. ambitions, plans, hopes and dreams, disoriented by coronavirus stop these a—level stu d e nts by coronavirus stop these a—level students are trying to work out what university life will be like. they are planning on keeping the campus open and that is the most important thing for me. just to have the independence that you get when you go to uni. doing it online won't affect it that much because you don't really interact with the electorate anyway, i don't think. 0n zoom you can ask questions and things. tuition fees are staying the same. it's a lot of money to pay for not the full experience and just doing stuff at home. if i'm paying

over £9,000 a university, i hope they do they can to make it work. -- for university. bolton universities and storing —— is installing scanners for temperature and asking stu d e nts to scanners for temperature and asking students to wear a mask. we will provide them with that experience. it's good to be bold and at the front of this, but for us it's about giving students the best experience possible, and this will be the best experience in a covert security environment —— covid—secure environment. i think it will be an opportunity for us to rethink how we can use the digital world to the best advantage. there are some wonderful examples of digital education now, really exciting. if i'm honest, it is something i have been wanting to do for a long time.

there is still lots to work out ahead of the new term, and students face making decisions that will define the next phase of their lives in such an uncertain time. dan johnson, bbc news. we wa nt we want to show some of the images coming to us. this is portland, 0regon, coming to us. this is portland, oregon, and it is clear this is an ongoing situation. a number of demonstrated on the street. —— demonstrators. it is a quarter past ten, these images from a helicopter above the scene. a considerable level of disruption... we looked at

this exact shot this time yesterday and it was very, very different. yesterday, there were many, many, dozens yesterday, there were many, many, d oze ns of yesterday, there were many, many, dozens of people on the street quietly walking along the street so this morning, i am not an expert but it appears there are teargas canisters so quite a different scene from yesterday which seemed from our shots to be a quiet, peaceful and demonstrators were on the street and walking quietly and not what we can see going on this morning. this seems to be a police presence. very interesting to see. ten o'clock at night for them. a quarter past ten in the evening. a heavy police presence. we will try and get an update from someone on the ground to see what is going on.

demonstrators across washington defied a seven o'clock curfew, where our reporter aleem maqbool sends us this report. there are hundreds of people close to the white house. it is completely peaceful and trouble—free. at this time yesterday, it was utter chaos. teargas was being used by the security forces. a lot of forced to clear this area. so that a little bit later on donald trump could visit this church for what in effect was a photo opportunity but it appears that has not deterred people from coming out today. i am from bbc news. what has brought you out today and, given what has been going on, we re and, given what has been going on, were you intimidated? i was out of

town and drove back up to be here because they used teargas and rubber billets, they do not kill people but bullets do. you were prepared to break the curfew? i am prepared to call if i need legal assistance. where does it go from here? hopefully some action is taken but i don't know. criticism of the wave the president has handled the situation. of course, his supporters feel very differently by the people he had to peacefully, legally protest, they are still determined that their voice is going to be heard.

last night thousands of people joined george floyd's hometown. it was clearly emotional. the mother of his daughter spoke at another event as well. absolutely, it is important to understand that in houston we don't have a very big protest and they were 16,000 people out that which is huge. people all across the region, a very diverse crowd and people expressing their emotions and frustration. it is only now, sort of an hourago, frustration. it is only now, sort of an hour ago, that it sort of wrapped up an hour ago, that it sort of wrapped up and avoided some of the chaos we have seen in other cities. we could see the demonstration going on there and it went off quietly? yes,

certainly less chaotic than even in nearby san antonio. there was about a mile long march. people on motorbikes, a huge, huge crowd. the police department have a pretty heavy present but there were several surprising moments, a moment of silence at the very beginning of the march and police all got down on their knees which said a powerful message to protesters and it would have been very surprising five years ago when they began doing that. and these moments at city hall whether chief of police mingled with protesters and had these long conversations with them, these

back—and—forth about what they were looking for and are they concerned and what needs to happen next. from what you have seen in your years as a reporter, do you think this is a ca ta lyst a reporter, do you think this is a catalyst for real change? that is a really important and tricky question. we have seen a lot of similar protests in the united states, after trayvon martin, after centre planned's death and there has been frustration and rage. —— sandra bland. but people do not want this moment to go by unheeded as it did before. i was talking to one police commander who said the incident in minnesota really shocked them and sort of underscored the need to do

something a little bit more substantive than before. thank you for your time. john barned—smith, a reporter at the houston chronicle. these are life images from portland, 0regon. what we have already seen is there is clearly an incident on going onto the streets. from the helicopter shot we're looking at, it would appear they are quite a large number of protesters, a big police presence. we have seen teargas being used and the camera focusing in on people who are looting as well. just looking at some of the comments locally from portland police this morning, tweeting, thousands

peacefully protesting in courthouse square, a group in the hundreds near the justice centre, square, a group in the hundreds near thejustice centre, want not to temper the fencing or force would be used. six nights in a row there have been demonstrations in portland and this is the same now. it is 10:22pm over there and a moment ago you saw what looked like more police reinforcements coming in. we will keep an eye on those pictures for you this morning and talking to a number of correspondence in various cities. minnesota, of course, right into the centre of events. they have filed a human rights complaint against the minneapolis police department. i think we could speak to paul bloom, corresponded over there. good morning. give us a sense of the situation in minneapolis this

morning. it is silent after a couple of nights of demonstrations. minneapolis has been quite compared to new york and washington. we started the curfew at ten o'clock now after a couple of days of quiet. the only place that has allowed to stay with demonstrators, mourners is the sadly famous intersection where george floyd was killed eight nights ago. the level of the demonstrations you say, largely the curfew is being recognised by people are not being broken? exactly. last night we were at the state capital over at saint paul. there were a few dozen protesters, demonstrators, protesting peacefully. they were

rounded up once the clubhead ten o'clock. something similar. —— the clock hit ten o'clock. but generally, our situation has come down. remember, this state called up some 4000 plus national guard soldiers. i am standing in front of one of the heavy—duty vehicles that is blocking a precinct, police precinct. they have cleared out the streets on sunday night and it has really made a difference. these last couple of days we're talking about calm in the twin cities as we now look forward to thursday when the george floyd local memorial service will take place inside a local university here in minneapolis. thank you very much for that. a

scene of relative calm but not the case in other cities. let's take a look at today's papers: the daily telegraph has an article written by the home secretary, priti patel. writing in the paper with transport secretary, grant shapps, she defends the government's plan to quarantine new arrivals and warns tough travel measures are important to prevent a second peak of the virus. the mirror however suggests the prospect of a holiday has been thrown a lifeline, reporting that the government's quarantine plan could be relaxed. it is worth saying we will be talking to the boss of heathrow airport about the practicalities of how this may work. the guardian has an interview with labour leader, sir keir starmer, who it says launched a "stinging attack" on the prime minister. sir keir accused mrjohnson of "winging it" over the easing of the lockdown and said

he needs to "get a grip". the picture also of donald trump as well. the sun suggests the uk is heading for a "triple whammy" in its fight against the virus. it reports that breweries are aiming to produce 250 million pints for pubs in the next two weeks, amid hopes they could reopen by the end ofjune. this one caught my eye this morning. it is about make up. we have been having a discussion about doing our own make up... is it going better? it is not for us to judge. own make up... is it going better? it is not for us to judgelj own make up... is it going better? it is not for us to judge. i am talking about myself, by the way, not you. a plant has been devised to help stars save face. they have been terrified about doing their own

heron maker, i must agree with them. the cast and crew due to return on tuesday for the first time since march and they will have to get themselves ready and produces told make up and costume stuff to offer remote tips by ipad. welcome to our world. it is a small things but, interesting... and their costumes will have to be left outside dressing rooms the night before filming. good luck to them. some national trust parks will be reopening today. it looks absolutely beautiful, carol. the weather is breaking on the day we send you there. good morning everybody. this is in hampshire, one of the national

trust property is opening up today. lots of restrictions around them and they are sticking to government guidelines. let's find out more from a man who knows all about it, the general manager. tell me, how does it feel to be opening up after all that time in a shutdown? we're looking forward to welcoming lots of visitors are looking forward to opening the gates at ten o'clock this morning. what measures have you put in place? 3096 restrictions and you have to book on line before you come. you have to walk around and also there are ways that you don't have to touch toilet doors. we are looking to maybe extend opening times as we go forward. thank you so much for now. a beautiful start to

the date but a lot cooler than yesterday. the forecast for assault is just that cooler stop for some good full degree drop in temperature compared to yesterday and some rain in the forecast. we have a weather front sinking southwards through the course of the night. cooler air following behind but heavy bursts of rain, particularly across cumbria through the night. the rain is sitting across southern scotland currently, northern england, through wales and heading down towards the south—west and it will continue to journey south s ward ‘s, not making it to the far south east until the night time. for the likes of western scotla nd night time. for the likes of western scotland and northern ireland, a dryer date with some sunshine and a few showers but temperatures are down. we're looking at range between 11 and 19. yesterday the temperature

in hampshire was 26.9. as we head off through the evening and overnight, the weather front continues to think southwards and getting into the south—east of england. a mixture of clear spells and cloud behind it, also some showers and quite breezy. a cooler night than the nightjust gone. tomorrow the weather from pulling away leaving a mixture of dry spells, and northerly wind digging up. temperature wise, it will feel even cooler than you would expect at this stage in june. even cooler than you would expect at this stage injune. for friday, once again we are looking at a mishmash of weather so we have a lot of cloud, some sunny breaks, showers, some of those heavy and the wind picking up, particularly across the northern isles and north—east scotland. 0nce northern isles and north—east scotland. once again feeling chilly. friday night, incidentally, into saturday morning, the wind

strengthening and unseasonably windy from the north and west. we may even see some snow on the tops of hills in scotland. and we're looking forward to see you out and about this morning. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and louise minchin. it's 6:31am. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning: we'll speak to actor larry lamb about gavin and stacey's chances of winning the bafta must—see moment of the year award. we'll bejoined by a mum who moved away from her children for nine weeks to protect them. she worked on a ward dealing with covid patients. also this morning, british vogue is celebrating frontline workers on the cover of itsjuly issue. we'll be joined by one of the three women featured.

in the meantime, let's get you up—to—date with the main stories from bbc news. demonstrators have defied curfews in cities across the united states over the death of george floyd, who died after being restrained by police. large marches took place in los angeles, atlanta, new york, washington and portland. these images are from the last hour in portland, oregon. george floyd's hometown of houston, texas, his relatives joined 60,000 hometown of houston, texas, his relativesjoined 60,000 people in a rally to honour his memory. the home secretary, priti patel, will tell mps today that new quarantine rules are necessary to avoid a "second wave" of the coronavirus. from monday, most people entering the uk will be told to isolate for two weeks. but portugal's foreign minister has said that his government is talking to home office officials about a so—called "air bridge" agreement, so that tourists returning from his country can avoid the restrictions. it is 6:32am.

it's time now for our regular appointment with a gp. this morning it's the turn of dr farrah sheikh in manchester. good morning to you. thank you for joining us. if we can talk about this report yesterday, saying the death toll for bame people is disproportionate, what you make of that report? first of all, it's very u nfortu nate that report? first of all, it's very unfortunate and very sad that there has been a significant number of deaths in the black and minority ethnic groups, particularly the bangladesh community, they are nearly two times more likely to die than white counterparts. it's difficult to know why that is, whether it is due to a lot of these communities living within multigenerational families, communities living within multigenerationalfamilies, children living with grandchildren, or whether it is to do with

work—related issues. sometimes these communities can be in lower paid jobs, security work or taxi drivers, and they can be put more at risk. the other argument is whether there isa the other argument is whether there is a gene that could be responsible for this. but that hasn't been reflected in the countries these communities originate from, where the death toll hasn't been as high from covid—19. so there are still a lot of answers that we need. there are so many reasons and so many things that would really help you get information. and also, presumably, help protect the bill as well? of course. these communities i would recommend following the guidelines as strictly as you possibly can. so, staying two metres away from everybody, and making sure you are washing your hands as thoroughly as you possibly can. you are at significant risk compared to the rest of the population, so do ta ke the rest of the population, so do take more precautions. and we know

the bma want about this for yes, the bma have campaigned for some time. there is a significant number of people of bach and minority ethnic groups that have sadly passed away. and we know people across england and wales have been told to shield, they are now allowed to spend time outdoors. people who have been shielding, have a clear about what they are allowed to do and have they been anxious? i think a lot of them are very anxious. been anxious? i think a lot of them are very anxious. they have been cooped up at home for a number of weeks and now they are a little bit more freedom. naturally, people are going to be a little bit more apprehensive. we have had phone calls from patients who have been shielding and they wanted some clear guidance and reassurance, really. what i would suggest to those members of society as you are more vulnerable, so do take more care when you are going outside. still try to go to places where there are

no crowds and try to limit the amount of time you are spending outside. unfortunately, the weather here in manchester, i don't think as many people will be going outside, but try and follow the guidelines as much as possible. you are right, the weather has turned, it was raining this morning. and can we talk about cancer statistics as well? cancer research uk have been talking about people missing out on screening, perhaps cancer is also going on diagnosed as well during lockdown. this has been continually talked about by gps throughout the whole of this crisis. what is your assessment? we should still be going to the doctors, shouldn't they? people should be contacting the doctor, not necessarily going to the doctor, not necessarily going to the doctor, but definitely making contact. doctor, but definitely making co nta ct. we doctor, but definitely making contact. we are using telephone consultations, a lot of electronic and online consultations, also a lot of video consultations. if needs be, we can call you into the surgery once we confirm you don't have any symptoms of coronavirus, or any

particularly stark signs and then refer you on accordingly. sadly, some screening cases have been postponed, that is something we would hope we can get back to normal and help reassure members of society about. and i think starting to get back to normal from your point of view? —— are things? back to normal from your point of view? -- are things? pretty much every consultation we are having is still kind of having mansions of coronavirus because it is on the tip of everyone's tongues. it is something we are extremely concerned about. workloads have been a little bit less but they are starting to pick up now. patients that have been waiting for symptoms to improve by themselves or to wait for the situation to get better, and there hasn't been that much improvement in the fact we are still not able to see as many patients face—to—face. people are starting to contact us more than they had been previously.

very good to talk to you. doctor farrah sheikh, thank you very much for your time. it's 6:37am. sally has been looking out the protests in america, after the death of george floyd. some sportspeople are making their thoughts very public. absolutely, charlie, we have seen that of the last couple of days, haven't we? lewis hamilton says he is "completely overcome with rage" at events in the usa, following the death of george floyd. he's issued a statement, saying, "this past week has been so dark. i have failed to keep hold of my emotions". sportspeople are continuing to add their voices to the outcry. many have taken part in a social media blackout — usain bolt and england captain harry kane among those uploading a black image alongside

a message of support. the football association have said they will take a common—sense approach to any protests on the pitch. and the former manchester city and qpr player nedum 0nuoha has told the bbc he doesn't feel 100% safe in the united states, as a young black man. he now plays for real salt lake in the american league, and says he understands the protesters' anger. hopefully, you know, the change will come, but within that there are so many new and things within the protests. a lot of black people were scared to do what some of the way people are doing to the police. you know, trying to make their voices heard in these protests. it is exactly what is going on, if you know they mean. but, yeah, it's crazy to see but it's very necessary. for me, i'm not going to tell them they shouldn't be able to do anything, because at the end of the day they haven't been heard for so the day they haven't been heard for so long so far, so that them be heard now. — —

so long so far, so that them be heard now. —— let them be heard now. england's summer of cricket will begin on the 8th of july. they'll play three tests against the west indies, behind closed doors at southampton and old trafford — both of which have hotels on—site, to keep the players in a bio—secure environment. england captainjoe root has been back in the nets, preparing for a very different schedule to the one originally proposed, with three test matches in three weeks, and regular testing for the players. to make 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 are obviously helping the game massively and of course safety is everything, and it wouldn't be possible if, you know, if that was going to be compromised. but still, it must be extremely scary and i think the whole cricketing world will be grateful to see some cricket, yeah. another sport finalising plans for a restart is formula 1. the season will finally begin in austria at the start of next month. there'll be eight grand

prixs across europe, including two at silverstone on successive weekends in august. there will be no fans allowed at any of the races and major security measures in place. i think as someone said, actually being ina i think as someone said, actually being in a formula 1 pitlane might being in a formula 1 pitlane might be one of the safer places to be because of the level of safety precaution we are going to take before we go motor racing. and then we need to be prepared to react because we are in an area which none of us have been in before. so, what we know today might change tomorrow. if you were watching yesterday, you might have seen us speak to the great frankie dettori. and here he is, riding galsworthy to victory at kempton. he'll be racing again at newmarket from tomorrow, as the sport steps up a level, with the four—day guineas festival.

great to talk to frankie dettori, he, like everybody and raising was keen to get back to some kind of normality and told us about how he had been training with his mast on in the gym, to get used to riding with a mask on. one thing we're doing a lot more since lockdown began — the video conference call. yes, a lot of that going on. from family quizzes to work team meetings, one business is looking to take advantage — that's zoom — and sean's having a look at how it's been getting on. tell us more. good morning, everybody. whether you're setting up a call with your granny or you're part of a cabinet meeting in the government, lots of us have been getting to grips with new software like zoom. what is it, exactly? as long as you've got an internet connection and a camera

on your phone tablet or computer, you can video conference call. and depending on which app you use, there's plenty more you can do, like screen sharing — very useful for the picture round in that family quiz, or if you're part of a classroom. lots of big tech companies want you to use their software with microsoft, google and adobe all in on the act. those are just three of them. zoom was unknownjust those are just three of them. zoom was unknown just a few months ago too many people, but now is expecting sales to 2214p. —— double 214p. the use of its service has increased 30 times in recent months. it now having more than 300 paying customers. charlotte kahn is a yoga teacher who lost all her clients nearly overnight but has built a successful remote business instead. good morning to you, charlotte. good morning, sean. can you give us a flavour of what it was like for you

around that time when the government was saying certain businesses needed to close temporarily? so, at the beginning of lockdown my business, y°93r beginning of lockdown my business, yoga, we specialise in yoga. my company took a massive nosedive and all of the employees went home and people weren't working in offices anymore. in 24 hours i had to learn how to take my business online. i learned how to use zoom, and there is lots of research into using the best lighting, but without spending a huge amount of money, we bought a microphone from amazon. in 48 hours i had all of my clients bar, but the thing that surprised me that i didn't realise was going to happen, was new clients came to yoga because during lockdown stress and anxiety are higher than ever and yoga can

really help with that. people living differently and different months. do you think this will be sustainable? are your customers happy doing it via video calls or are you going to get back into the studio first chance? so many new people have come to it and it was not like zoom was not here before but it was a platform that a lot of industries were not utilising. you still have that feeling of being in a real class but in the comfort of your home so i do not think zoom or live on line is going anywhere. but there is also a space for in the studio and in the gymnasium is nothing like the energy you get from a real group. do you think you would pay more for

different services on line if you are unable are —— different services on line if you are —— able to do other things? different services on line if you are —— able to do other thing57m has become the backbone of my yoga business and what is great about it is my 77—year—old father is using zoom is my 77—year—old father is using zoom at the moment so it translates toa zoom at the moment so it translates to a wide audience. for people who have been working from home one way or another and maybe not on the right chair or right side desk, is that one simple thing to help us get through the day? absolutely. if you could take your hands behind your back, take an e—mail and on the excel squeeze your shoulder blades together. then look towards the sky. it does the opposite of being leaning in. it is a bit tight around

that. i might need to work on a few other things first before i start stretching too much. loads of people looking to go on line and that may be away for their businesses to get my. i was be away for their businesses to get 'oying be away for their businesses to get my. i was enjoying the stretch. thank you. since since recent studies first suggested a disproportionate number of coronavirus deaths among most ethnic minority groups, the government has been under immense pressure to launch an official inquiry into the issue. now, a report by public health england confirms major inequalities. it suggests death rates from covid—19 were highest among people of black and asian ethnic groups. people of bangladeshi ethnicity had around twice the risk of death compared to white british people. other ethnic minority groups including people of chinese, indian or pakistani origin had between a 10% and 50% higher risk of death.

let's talk to dr vishal sharma from the british medical association, and john fagan who lost his mother to coronavirus in april. he joins us with his wife, sophie. thank you so much forjoining us. i know you have talked about this in the past. tell us about these figures and what you are most concerned by. we are most concerned by the fact that we do not quite understand why this is happening. we have been calling for an enquiry for some time. this report confirms this but it has not gone to the next step of saying how do we tackle this inequality and protect our staff and patients from these key groups. clearly there is a real problem here. what does government specifically need to look at do you think? we have to tackle as to why there is this problem. even when you look at the statistic, when you

correct some factors, there still seems an underlying risk and we need to look at why that is. is it a cultural thing, occupation, jobs that put them in a higher risk, a form of discrimination in workplaces? i think we need to tackle the culture in workplaces to make sure people are protected. john, really nice to see you this morning. there is a danger sometimes and we talk about statistics but we are talking about people and in this case, my condolences because you lost your mum who was a nurse. how old washing and what was the work she was doing and were the circumstances? mum was 78 when she died and she worked all her life in

hospital. she started as a nurse backin hospital. she started as a nurse back in 1966. she was more of a support worker in later years. looking after patients who had come in after serious illnesses and making sure that, when they went back into the community and their families, they got the support they needed to be more independent, if you like. mum worked in a hospital and she contracted covid—19. she had underlying health issues but, all the same, it is still a big problem. my mum was well three weeks before she died and then i saw her gradually deteriorate. she went into hospital and within 24 hours she died. it is a sad, notjust for my mother but for the 39,000 people who have supposedly been reported of

passing away through this. the figures could be more. my personal sadness is not just figures could be more. my personal sadness is notjust about my mother but what is going on in the world and how things have been dealt with. we have been talking about this report. how concerned are you when you hear this report about black and other ethnic minority groups being disproportionately affected? how does it make you feel? absolutely petrified. for the safety of my husband john. it makes me very nervous and i was very anxious before this and my anxiety is so high now and i am absolutely petrified. critics have said that all of this report has done is pull together information that has been known for a long time about certain groups of people, ethnic groups, that are at higher risk. when you

saw it talked about by government ministers, what did you think? do you think ethnic groups should be protected above and beyond the advice to other people? certainly, if the report says that black and ethnic minorities are more susceptible to covid—19 than sure stop i was listening to the news yesterday and i know they were recommendations supposed to be brought from the report, which was a bit vague in my view, the secretary of state last night... to be honest ido of state last night... to be honest i do not know what to believe. i am kind of past it now, we are in a position now where so many thousands of people have died in this country andl of people have died in this country and i cannot see... we are not even and i cannot see... we are not even a big country, i know we are densely populated and i get what people are saying about what people are doing, the environments and all the rest of it but certainly i think, if that is

a proven, and it looks like that is the case, then the government should be doing a lot more. what about about being particularly anxious, for example forjohn. what kind of things can people do to help themselves with? absolutely so we know people who are at risk. these ethnic groups to have increased risk and they must follow the advice and be more stringent about hand washing, social distancing and take real precautions that everybody has to take. thank you for that. on a personal note, given what you know now or have heard from the government, these figures, do you intend in any way and your wife is sitting right next to you, do you

intend to change what you're doing of your own bat, even without being told to. you think you will take extra precautions yourself because you now know that the figures show a certain pattern? what will you do? to be honest with you, my wife is always telling me to wash my hands but to be honest, i know how bad this is and i can listen to the news and what other people are telling me but i know what i need to do and, forgive me, i know not everybody is in my position and people cannot stay at home and need to go out but when you have lost someone very close to you through covid—19, unless it happens to you, you do not know the consequences and for me, i stay indoors. i am lucky that i can work from home but i am not going anywhere at this moment in time, i don't care about the lockdowns being

eased stop there are still tons of people dying every day so, for me and my wife and my family, we are staying indoors. my life is more important than anything else. staying indoors. my life is more important than anything elselj staying indoors. my life is more important than anything else. i can see it nodding as well. thank you so much. thank you all for your time here. you may not know this but this week we have been following this story of two ospreys nesting in the scottish highlands. love images have been streaming. —— live images. we saw earlier this week to chicks and earlier this morning a third one. these are live images. i am co nsta ntly a mazed by these are live images. i am constantly amazed by this. perched so high. very gently taking care of

their newborn babies. i think there isa their newborn babies. i think there is a fish that as well. they are feeding very gently their three very young cheeks. an amazing image. some national trust parks will reopen to visitors from today and carol is one of those invited in hampshire and looking ever so slightly overcast. a while since we have had to say that. it certainly is, charlie. it is a beautiful. look at that roof. holly ryanis beautiful. look at that roof. holly ryan is a visitor experience manager here. you must be glad you are reopening. have you been badly affected by this lockdown? 10.5

cold front ringing heavy rain overnight to cumbria and currently that ranges across southern scotland, northern england, parts of the midlands, wales and the south—west. some bursts of rain heavy, possibly thundery. it will not go down to the far south—east of england until tonight so in the south—east still bright but at times some cloud around. at times for northern ireland in western scotland, a brighter date with sunny spells and fewer showers before the rest of scotland, cloudy with some showers. temperatures down on yesterday. the top temperature yesterday. the top temperature yesterday was a at southampton but todayit yesterday was a at southampton but today it would be more like 17 or 18. 0vernight, the rate will continue into the south—east corner, against some heavy bursts, behind it some clear skies, also a fair bit of cloud around and steal some showers and breezy. a cooler night than the

could we take a holiday in portugal without the need to quarantine for two weeks on return? the country's foreign minister says discussions are taking place with the uk government. in the government says those measures are vital to avoid a second wave of the virus, but the travel industry major concerns. the boss of heathrowjoins us to tell us how things will work under the new rules. virtual fresher‘s weeks and online lectures — universities set out their proposals for reopening after lockdown. we will see england play cricket this summer, they're preparing for three tests in three weeks against west indies behind closed door with the teams in bio—secure bubbles. good morning. it's wednesday, june 3. our top story. demonstrators have defied curfews in cities around the united states, protesting over the death of george floyd, who was killed after being restrained by police. large marches took place in los angeles, atlanta and new york.

around 1,600 soldiers have been flown to bases around washington in response to the protests there. in his home town of houston, his familyjoined 60,000 people in a march in his memory, as nada tawfik reports. this is what those officers took from me... choked with emotion, the mother of george floyd's 6—year—old daughter gianna speaks of the gaping hole left by his death. we will never see her grow up, graduate, he will never walk her down the aisle. if there's a problem she's having and she needs her dad, she does not have that anymore. roxie washington says he was a good father who continued to take care of his family after he moved from houston to minneapolis. what she wants now is justice

for him and gianna. chanting sharing in their pain and the pain of the nation, tens of thousands marched through the streets of downtown houston. alongside them, 16 members of the floyd family who again urged protesters to remain peaceful. they're expecting you to behave unbecomingly. they're expecting you to carry yourself like a fool! but we don't have to do that. once again, look around! we all we got! let me hear you say it — we all we got! all: we all we got! we all we got! all: we all we got! 0ne victory to come out of the demand for widespread change — the state where mr floyd died, minnesota, announced a civil rights investigation of the minneapolis police department. governor tim walz said that police policies and practices over the last ten years would be scrutinised. minnesotans, you can expect our administration to use every tool at our disposal to try and deconstruct systemic racism that is generations deep.

and as we move forward, we're going to need to do it with the community, but i think the thing i'm hearing from the protesters is, we're not...we're not watching and we don't care what you say. we care what you do. cheering protests across the country showed no sign of waning tuesday night. in new york's union square, nurses took to their knees to show solidarity with activists. healthcare workers have been cheered daily for the efforts fighting the coronavirus, but they thought it more appropriate to applaud and honour those fighting a different kind of disease. as an 8pm curfew set in, officials braced for another night of demonstrations and possible unrest. after months of eerily quiet streets, new york, once the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak, is finally starting to reopen. but as it does, american cities are facing another epidemic — racism, and the consequences of ignoring decades

of injustice and inequality. nada tawfik, bbc news, new york. the home secretary, priti patel, will tell mps today that new quarantine rules are necessary to avoid a "second wave" of the coronavirus. from monday, most people entering the uk will be told to isolate for two weeks. we can speak now to our political correspondent helen catt. alan, we're getting a few more details, but how would these new rules work? effectively, what will happen is virtually everyone that comes into country from overseas will have two self—isolate for 14 days at an address they give to the authorities. there are a few exemptions, they would include brits that are returning and living from overseas. so, you wouldn't have to do that if you are coming in from ireland or the channel islands and there are some specific occupations that wouldn't have to do that either, lorry drivers, for example, because they need to keep the flow of freight going in and out of the

country. the big criticism of this plan has been from the travel industry and mps that they may scupper any attempt from the travel industry to get back up and running off its feet after what has been a very bad year already for them. so does that mean then the department for transport and the home office aren't seeing eye to eye? apparently not, we've got a joint piece written in the telegraph from the home secretary, priti patel and these transport secretary, grant shapps, saying they have to bring this in on monday because they owe it to the thousands who have died to make sure we are have does my car not importing any further cases. and as other options people have been talking about, taking rapid temperature tests, that isn't as effective as quarantine. this idea of the averages, backbenchers say they are working on arranging

conditions with other countries. and how is boris johnson conditions with other countries. and how is borisjohnson coping with this and labour? it feels like a much more personal criticism of the prime minister, he's being accused of winging it, using lockdown restrictions. he's been criticised for is handling of his aid, dominic cummings. helen catt, for the moment, thank you very much. and at about 7:30am we will be speaking to the health minister. university leaders say students might have to live and study in the same small group, when campuses reopen in the autumn. they've been setting out proposals for a socially distanced student

life — including virtual freshers' weeks. 0ur education correspondent, dan johnson, reports. i'm lucy. i'm studying maths, physics, product design and music. i would like to study product design at brunel university in london. i'm alwin. i'm studying biology, chemistry and maths, and i'm hoping to study biomedical sciences at manchester university. i'm akesh, i study maths, economics and business, and i'm planning to study accounting and finance at nottingham. i'm 0liver, i'm studying design, history and drama and i'm hoping to study acting at guildford. ambitions, plans, hopes and dreams, all disoriented by coronavirus. so these loughborough a—level students are trying to work out what university life will be like. they're planning on keeping the campus open, and that's the most important thing for me. just to have the independence that you get when you go to uni. doing it online won't affect it that much because you don't really interact with the lecturer anyway, i don't think. and on zoom, for example, you can ask questions and things.

tuition fees are staying the same. it's a lot of money to pay for not getting the full experience and just doing stuff at home. if i'm paying over £9,000, i think universities ought to do all they can to make it work. here's one vision of the future of learning. bolton university is installing temperature scanners and will ask everyone to wear a mask. students pay for going to university and attending, and we're going to provide all of experience. and yet we were said to be out of step at the beginning of the sector, but there's a number of us now following us in the sector and it's good to be bolton at the front of this. but for us, it's about giving the best value for students. students' experience is number one for us, and this is going to be the best student experience in a covid—secure environment. but it's a step too far for many others, who are considering keeping students in protective bubbles, planning virtual freshers' weeks and moving lectures online. i think it is an opportunity for us to rethink how we can use the digital world to the best advantage. there are some wonderful examples of digital education

now, really exciting. if i'm honest, it's something i've been wanting to do for a long time. there's still lots to work out ahead of the new term, and students face making decisions that will define the next phase of their lives in such an uncertain time. dan johnson, bbc news. italy is relaxing its lockdown restrictions further today, by allowing people to travel freely within the country, and to and from other european countries. the move is an attempt to salvage the country's summer tourism season, which is crucial to its economy and employs an estimated 4.2 million people. 0ur rome correspondent mark lowen joins us now, mark, what do the new rules mean for british holidaymakers? good morning, charlie. it was

interesting hearing your previous interview with helen catt about the quarantine restrictions in britain, because in italy that is no longer the case. if you are a british national who is travelling from the uk to italy, for a holiday or planning to, you can now do so. italy from today's open for business to all those coming from european union countries, the uk, and the schengen zone. it is an attempt to salvage a tourism season that is looking very, very vulnerable indeed. 13% of italy's economy is based on tourism, it needs that business park. and i will travel within the regions of italy is going to be allowed. —— that business back. it is a moment of hope, that this country was long the centre of the global coronavirus pandemic, saw

over 33,000 deaths and was the worst hit in europe until britain overtook it, it is a cautious relaxing of restrictions. if they step forward because italy has now brought down the infection level down to a manageable degree, the r number is below one. for those who want to come in italy injuly and august, if they are willing to, this could be a breath of fresh air for them.“ italians want to travel to the uk, what are they being told? well, they are going to have take part in this quarantine. and there is frustration for some members of the italian government. they have spoken out against theirs. they say it is not a reciprocal agreement at the moment. they are going to have to go into quarantine coming into britain, but those coming the other way will be able to come freely. so, there is

frustration out that. the italian government is so desperate to salvage what is left of the tourism is and they are willing to make some way for the moment, hoping that britain will relax quarantine rules, if there is pressure to do so. good to speak to you, mark lowen, reporting from rome today. borisjohnson has warned china that if it imposes new security laws in hong kong, britain will have no choice but to offer millions of people there a route to uk citizenship. china is facing mounting criticism and protests over its planned law, which people in the territory say could reduce their freedom. in an article in the times, the prime minister says britain will not walk away. british vogue are celebrating the uk's key workers with a special trio of covers for theirjuly issue. three women who've been working on the front line during the pandemic will grace the cover of the magazine next month.

vogue's editor—in—chief says the train driver, supermarket worker and the midwife represent those who "went to help" at the height of the outbreak. and we will be speaking to one of them a little later. the last few days of anger and unrest in the us over the death of george floyd are sadly ones the world has seen many times before — and are a devastating reminder for many families. 0ur reporter chi chi izundu has been speaking to people in london about the movement and what they hope will change here. this was sunday in central london, protest over the death of george floyd. this week more plans of protests in written because the death of george floyd is just one of theissues death of george floyd is just one of the issues people in the black community are angry about. they feel they are fighting their mini battle

with racism. it is notjust a problem for black america but for black people everywhere so i think once this kind of unrest happens in one place in the world, everyone has a kind of solidarity and we have all experienced that somewhere. every country has this kind of racism.“ is important to come together and show the world that black lives matter as much as climate change, as much as everything else that seems so much as everything else that seems so dear to people's cards. i feel like we really have to lead people to come when it is to do with a black person's life. you know, you see people posting things on social media in solidarity but that is not enough. we have been talking to a number of people here who did not want to appear on camera who are angry enough to protest and who say the uk has its own issues including how the police treat black people,

the grenfell tower tragedy, and others which have died as a result of fighting covid—19. others which have died as a result of fighting covid-19. white people have had the privilege for centuries and black people are angry because nobody is listening to them and their voices are not being heard and their voices are not being heard and the government is not listening, the white house is not listening.“ the government is not listening, the white house is not listening. it is fighting for what is right, for the right to leave. no—one asks to be put at the back of the queue but black people were. let's discuss this further. we're nowjoined by author, emma dabiri along with cephas williams, founder of the campaign '56 black men'. thank you both very much forjoining us. when you saw what happened with george floyd, what was your reaction? first of all, i did not watch the footage. i have seen enough black trauma to last me a

lifetime but i am well aware of what happened. you have a sense of feeling, not again. i cannot believe this is happening again. but when you really think about it, what has really changed since the last time that it happened? so why wouldn't it be happening again. you see these huge outpouring of rage and anger and pain on line and then nothing really changes. i think the internet has a tendency to make us think that the representation of something is the representation of something is the same as the actual thing in itself so you have this outburst and performance of all these emotions but what structurally changes is seemingly very little.|j but what structurally changes is seemingly very little. i want to ask the same question. what were your thoughts when you saw what happened? i cannot really put my thoughts into

words, to be honest, as much as i would love to. i can say this, for me, in my adult life, i have not been someone who cries much, perhaps because of the trauma for the rest of my life. i can honestly say that, within this period, i have cried real tears. having a conversation with someone or talking about the murder of george floyd and having that dialogue, tearsjust came to my eyes and i could not control it. it is that interesting connection between biologically i am a man and ethically i am black sol between biologically i am a man and ethically i am black so i have that almost instinct connection of a black man being killed and mistreated all across the board and, at the same time, when you look at the social positioning of the african—american community in comparison to other western country

counterparts, we all must have a similar narrative. not the majority. the position you play in the wider landscape, and the broader landscape in regards to economic advancement and so much more but it was in a stream of so many other things happening, you have the breonna taylor and so many more names that have been killed over the years and things that happened in the uk and other countries so various emotions. we are receiving messages and e—mails and i have been able to see it from different angles. from the black immunity, from various perspectives and also our white allies. it has been difficult to say the least. it is really interesting to hear how you react and you say those tears and emotions that were

the result of what you saw. how can you try and make sure that it is not the first time these issues have been raised by any distanced that how can people begin to make sure it is different in terms of the response and whether something may change. for me, i have been asked this question a couple of times. do i feel like it is a watershed moment? for me it feels like a watershed moment every time. people perhaps plugging into the conversation for the first time but to me and many other black people this is something that consistently happens. so how can this time be different? what i decided to do with '56 black men' and very sensitively is allying what is happening

globally and for me it was a unique moment for me to use our brand position within the uk and out we change the narrative over here to plug into a movement that has been globally received and responded to andl globally received and responded to and i feel also the reason why it has been responded to by the black communities because for so long black people have suffered under the hands ofan black people have suffered under the hands of an overarching narrative or i doubt not informed by us and for a long time now we have launched as a result of a campaign called blessed not forget and i think one of the biggest issues we face in regards of how changes are made is with forget. people feel sorry and guilty but it is not about that, it is for one day you are doing black art, it is about

what you're going to do moving forward. if i may, i what you're going to do moving forward. ifi may, i noticed, mr, you were noting when he said it feels like a watershed every time. it has been said before too many times? 10096 and that is what i was saying at the beginning. you feel like not again but yes, it is happening again because structurally very little has changed and really what needs to happen is there needs to bea what needs to happen is there needs to be a change in terms of political power. we need to ensure that we have politicians, that we have people in the halls of power who are antiracist, who are not themselves racist. there is a lot we can do to mobilise but we also need to make sure that we have those representatives. 0bviously

sure that we have those representatives. obviously we have power, we have that power to make change so make sure we are voting for people who are not themselves racist. one must question if we could, people watching this morning, what can they do to make a difference? there are lots of different things that can happen. i think going back to what i said about who are our elected representatives, i think that is really, really key. making sure that that let's look at the broader picture and what is happening to us in this country. there are parallels to the states but also differences. 0ne to the states but also differences. one thing that is key here is covid—19 and the fact that black minority and in particular caribbean people have been disproportionately

affected by covid—19. 0verfour time more likely to die. so making sure there is a pe for nhs workers, making sure that these these practical things can be achieved and in terms of what is happening with lives matter and police brutality —— black lives matter, becoming more informed and listening to more black voices. a lot of people saying i need to listen to black people now. a lot rushing to follow a lot of black accounts on twitter and instagram. that is useful to an extent but make sure that you think about what black voices you are listening to as well. and also, just become more involved. i have been sharing resources about whiteness,

about what whiteness is and where it comes from. the fact that this idea of race we have now, that we understand it ourselves in terms of black and white, that comes from england. it was first coded by into law in the british colonies. the british caribbean colonies. and that apparatus of race from the 1800, thatis apparatus of race from the 1800, that is the legacy of that they are still living with now. we really appreciate your time. thank you for your time. let's have a look at the situation in america. protest erupted after the death of oscar grant 11 years ago, restraint and shot by police. his mother, joins us

from california. i wonder your reflection on what has happened in the united states in the past week? basically, inaudible three other officers were there watching while this man's life was taken from him and from that people videotaped the incident of what happened, watching him being killed, begging for the officer to stop and yet the officer continued kneeing him in his throat area which cost him to not be able to breathe and he continued said that an so from that many protests

have erupted all across the united states, trying to ensure justice for george floyd. the officer was terminated, all four of them, and the officer did the kneeing to george floyd was charged with third—degree murder and manslaughter. given what you have lived through and what happened to your son, it must be so distressing to see, if you like, history repeating itself. it definitely does. the first two days after i saw the video i could not sleep, i

cried, i didn't know... i said, the video i could not sleep, i cried, i didn't know... isaid, i have to do something because his life was taken senselessly and he should never have lost his life and it is over and over and over again where many african—american young men and a brown young man are killed at the hands of police and there is no accountability whatsoever. many of them are acquitted, many are not charged and it is horrible and so, with this officer being charged, we just don't want him to be charged but we want him to be convicted. do you have any hope and given what you have been through and the time it has passed since your son was killed, we would understand why you would not have much hope, but do you hope this could be a moment for some real change? i do hope that the officers are found guilty — all four

officers are found guilty — all four of them because now they have only charged one. there needs to be a charged one. there needs to be a charge for all four officers. 0nce they are charged, the community will, in a sense, be relieved that they were charged and then we want them convicted as well. and in looking at my son's case, when 0scar was killed, the officer was convicted as well and he was convicted as well and he was convicted of involuntary manslaughter which he should have been convicted at a higher charge than that and then the judge throughout his harassment charge and so we are praying that, when in this case goes to trial, the judge is

fair in hisjudging. really interesting your reflections. thank you so much. some nationaltrust parks in england and northern ireland are reopening. carol is at the vyne in hampshire and i cannot believe the weather has changed when we send you that. 29 national parks and gardens are opening today in a phased reopening across england and northern ireland, in line with government regulations. if you are planning on coming down, you need to book in advance online, the reason is to limit visitors to keep everybody safe, in line with government regulations. there are something like 70,000 tickets available, and 5.8 million members,

so again, that is another reason for booking online. it is cloudy, though. today's forecast for a soul isa though. today's forecast for a soul is a much cloudier one, a cooler one, and we have some rain in the forecast, too. a weatherfront one, and we have some rain in the forecast, too. a weather front has been moving southwards across scotla nd been moving southwards across scotland and northern england throughout the note producing heavy rain across cumbria. at the moment it is continuing to journey out of scotla nd it is continuing to journey out of scotland and heading through northern england into the midlands, wales, and into the south—west. some of that would be happy, you may even hear the odd rumble of thunder throughout the day. and as it continues to push south, it won't write reach the far south of england and parts of east anglia until tonight. for northern ireland and western scotland, a drier and brighter day for you. a few showers and some sunshine. the rest of scotla nd and some sunshine. the rest of scotland will be fairly cloudy again, with some showers. temperatures, well, they really much lower than they were yesterday. for some of us, a good 12 degrees drop.

the top temperature, about 11— 19 degrees. as we had on through the evening and overnight, that rain continues, eventually getting into the south—east. again, some heavy bursts mixed in there. i did there will be some clear skies, there wasn't yet a bit of part around and we will continue with the showers. it will be quite busy as well and that breezes coming from a northerly direction. so it will feel cooler than the night just direction. so it will feel cooler than the nightjust gone. then we pick up that rain first thing tomorrow across the south—east, that will clear away and then we have a mixture of some bright spells, quite a bit of cloud around, and also even a bit of cloud around, and also even a few showers. it still is going to be breezy, and don't forget, that breeze coming from a northerly direction. the pictures tomorrow will be below average anyway, add on the strength of the wind, and it is going to feel much cooler than many of us have been used to in the last few weeks. that leads us into friday, friday is going to be windy, particularly across northerly scotla nd particularly across northerly scotland under northern isles. a lot of cloud, some bright spells and

some showers. so, still on the cool side for earlyjune. friday night into saturday morning we are likely to see some sleet and snow, yes, you had correctly, on higher ground in scotland. that leads us into saturday, saturday we are looking at unseasonably windy conditions, possibly even gales across the far north west of the country. so, something to bear in mind if you are heading outside. back to you two. carol, thank you very much. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and louise minchin. it is 7:30am. we can speak now to the health minister, edward argar. so much to talk to you about this morning. let's start with testing and figures as well. the chairman of the uk statistics authority says the figures you are presenting are aimed at the largest possible number of test, even at the expense of understanding. i mean, that is a stinging criticism. what is your defence? good morning. thank you for

having me on, as ever. i think what sir david was talking about there is the uk statistics authority quite rightly sets a very high standard by hail statistics are collected, they are meaningful and entirely reacted. we're trying to be transparent as we can be in what data we can get, even if it isn't fully polished, when the statistics authority puts statistics out, it is often with a lag time to tidy up that data to make sure it is perfectly resented. we have taken the view we want to be as transparent as we came, getting data out there to you, to the public, and others. that inevitably means we have two work with the uk statistics authority, as we are doing now, my boss, and so david spoke yesterday, to continue to work with them to improve the statistics of that data and to make sure it does mean that our their standards. but we've all

been cleared ultimately we wanted to get data out there, even if it was unpolished in some cases, for the benefits of transparency. and that is what we have been trying to do here. ok, can i ask you the same question i asked on monday to the business secretary? this is about data was that i asked alex sharma about the number of people being tested every day. not how many you can tested every day. not how many you ca n test, tested every day. not how many you can test, the actual number of people. he said, i'm very happy to come back to you and i will provide that information if we have it. have you got it? no. what we are focusing on is the number of tests. we have been clear from the start of this. note, myself and others, and quite rightly journalists and others note, myself and others, and quite rightlyjournalists and others have pushed us on the difference between the number of people tested and the number of tests. in the statistics we have given out, we have that it is the number of tests done we believe is more meaningful and the right thing. some people will have to have multiple tests stop the latest figure and that is just short

of 136,000, i think it is about 130 5000, 649, ithink of 136,000, i think it is about 130 5000, 649, i think i of 136,000, i think it is about 130 5000, 649, ithink i may of 136,000, i think it is about 130 5000, 649, i think i may be a few out on that. but it could be that one person is counted four times, if they have had four tests. for people watching, is not more meaningful to know how many people have been tested, not how many times a test has been made? well, you may have heard professor newton they yesterday in the press conference —— so yesterday, he said to him when i asked the same question, as a clinician it's important that has worked and it is effective and it builds into the broader strategy of tackling this pandemic. when we then talk about the statistics, yes, the number of tests done is something we publish, we have set targets for that and we have met those targets. 135,640 or so, yesterday, but the

capacity is important and i know you and other journalists capacity is important and i know you and otherjournalists will have pressed on that. why keep talking about capacity rather than people tested ? about capacity rather than people tested? the about capacity rather than people tested ? the reason about capacity rather than people tested? the reason for that is we have to have that capacity to meet increasing demand. it is there, we have 200,000 capacity. what we're saying is the eligibility criteria is very wide for those symptoms, please book a test. there is access capacity there at the moment. if you have symptoms, call 119 or go on the nhs website where you can book a test. what we have done quite rightly is make sure when the demand is there we ramp up the testing capacity to meet it, rather than have people don't away. i think that is what is really important. so, will you be able to release at some point the data on how many people are tested point the data on how many people a re tested every point the data on how many people are tested every day, then? well, just as he said to you previously in his commitment, we are working on that, we will try and get back to

you. but i do want to come back to why, and it is a perfectly legitimate question, but i want to come back to the importance of capacity on this one. we have capacity on this one. we have capacity that exceeds demand at the moment. what is really important as pa rt moment. what is really important as part of our approach to controlling this pandemic is people take up those tests when they have symptoms. the capacity is there and i would encourage people when they have symptoms and meet those criteria to meet capacity by going on the website or ringing the number. so tests is an important part of this. and we know the test and trace scheme in england is in place. can you tell me how many people have been traced? no, not yet. you will have seen some leaked, outdated and partial information in some of the media this morning and overnight. i would caution about reliance on that data. what the health secretary, matt hancock, my boss said yesterday

at the press conference, is we are working, as you would expect in light of your previous question about reliability of statistics, with the uk statistics authority to get that data. we are into the thousands, but i am not going to give you a figure until we have worked sufficiently with the uk statistics authority to get a reliable and accurate methodology of getting that data. what we have said is we are working out base with them and as soon as we can agree with them on how that should be done, we will be publishing that data on a weekly basis —— we are working at pace. these lead figures show only 1749 people contacted and told to isolate. is that a promising start from your point of view? this scheme is part of the process, and it came on stream at the back end of last week. then we went into the weekend.

so i'm not going to place a huge store on partial and outdated figures. but what i am committing to you and your viewers as my boss has done, is we are working as fast as we can with uk statistics authority and when we have that methodology with them and were happy with them, we will then be publishing these statistics on a weekly basis so you and everyone else can quite rightly, as we have done, throughout this interrogate us on those statistics. we have tried to be transparent throughout theirs. sometimes that means going faster, perhaps, than we would with normal statistics and hence some of the challenges we will work through with the uk statistics authority. but we are committing to put those statistics out there when we reach of that approach. put those statistics out there when we reach of that approachlj put those statistics out there when we reach of that approach. i want to move on now, if we can, to quarantine. we understand your quarantine. we understand your quarantine rules will apply to those people coming back to the uk or entering the uk from monday, to prevent a second spike in coronavirus. why not do that before? well, this is a measure that is

being put in place. now we're getting the virus, the pandemic, under control in this country. we are seeing infections coming down, we are seeing the death rate coming down in this country. one of the key things there is to keep it under control so that the testing and tracing is effective. and one of the ways to do that is you also now, that we have got community transmission coming down, is to have more effective public health controls at the border. can ijust ask you, sorry to interrupt you, can i ask that question again? in the meantime, many thousands of people will have been travelling to the uk. why not put those measures in before? there are two reasons for that. one, once the response to this disease moved from the phases earlier on back in march, the cmo effectively said this disease is now having wide community transmission already within the uk and it is

prevalent within this country. therefore, putting restrictions at the border at that point, the medical advice was that would have virtually no impact on the spread of the disease. and we saw some countries at that stage you had done it and had actually ended up with very, very high infection rates. so the medical advice was that point, when it was spreading so rapidly already within our community, it would not have been effective. now we're getting it under control, now the numbers are being brought down. it's one of those measures alongside test and trace and so on that is going to help us control and contain the disease again in the future. and thatis the disease again in the future. and that is why now, on the basis of that is why now, on the basis of that advice, we think it is the right time to bring forward the proposal is the home secretary will set out later today. the home virus advised —— the home office advice is against international travel. when will people be able to go on summer holidays? i have said this on a number of broadcast today and

previously, i would love to be able to give people a clear answer on that i know the huge told this disease and the restrictions are having on people and i know that many people will want to have a holiday. you will know from a previous interviews with you as a health minister i am very cautious on this. i am not going to say a particular date of when that might happen because we will have to be guided by how the disease behaves, controlling any risk of a second wave and controlling the disease. and can! wave and controlling the disease. and can i just wave and controlling the disease. and can ijust ask you...” wave and controlling the disease. and can ijust ask you... i hope people will be able to go on holiday at some point this year, but i cannot make that promise because i have to be cautious and go with the science. and i don't have that forward view yet of how a second wave might behave. briefly, because i know you have other commitments. 14 days quarantine when they come back to the uk, how is that going to be enforced? back to the uk, how is that going to be enforced ? please back to the uk, how is that going to be enforced? please turning up at

their daughter? how will that happen? people will be required to com plete happen? people will be required to complete their locator form, and reporting if they get symptoms. it will be enforceable by the police and it will be an offence not to com plete and it will be an offence not to complete that form. it will be an offence not to self—isolate, having done that. but i do genuinely believe on the basis of the efforts by the british people over the last few months to comply. i think they will do so voluntarily unwillingly, because that is what we have seen the british people do in recent months. it has been incredibly tough but the overwhelming majority of people have done that. i believe that will be the case here with people returning from abroad or coming into this country. health minister edward argar, thank you for your time here on breakfast this morning. thank you. it is 7:44am. sean is going to be talking to someone who will be a key player one

way or another and how this works out in practice in heathrow, john. certainly, airports around the country are one example of the businesses that rely so much on the government's travel measures that it has put in place. people want to spend money but they may be can't do it yet. we can have a look at a few of those details that are going to be coming in on monday. it is june the it isjune the eighth when quarantine measures will come in. that will apply to anybody arriving by plane, train orferry, into that will apply to anybody arriving by plane, train or ferry, into the uk ports around the country. when you arrive you then need to self isolate for 14 days, the key being at that point you need to give an address where you will do that and if you don't, you could be fined £1000 in england. each devolved nation was that enforcement rules.

there are exceptions to this. for workers, including medics, lorry drivers, those working on farms and those travelling from certain areas, so from the channel islands, the island man, ireland. there are a few things for apples. the travel industry is concerned about these measures as a whole. the chip executor of heathrow airport is with us. do you agree with the airport operator association that say these quarantine measures are too simplistic? we certainly support any government measure to avoid a second peak so if medical advice address quarantine is necessary so be it. we area quarantine is necessary so be it. we are a health and safety driven organisation. there is an opportunity to allow the gradually opening up of borders in a way that does not lead to a second peak and

the prime minister has talked about different ways. there are countries with low level of the covid—19 and we could do that. they should be able to do that as soon as is possible to do that. we want the government to tell us what the plan is to start reopening border so it does not become a blanket quarantine because that would notjust be devastating for the aviation sector before all the companies across the millions of workers who work for them who depend on aviation in one way or another. there is expected to bea way or another. there is expected to be a review at the end ofjune about this but whether there are exemptions now or in future weeks, what will happen to somebody who arrives at your airport? literally at what point would you be checking that they have filled in the form

and that they are going to self isolate? first of all, very few people will be travelling at all. typically at the moment we have about 3000 people arriving at most each day and that is down from around 120,000 each day and that is down from around 120 , 000 travelling each day and that is down from around 120,000 travelling normally at this time of year. so for the people coming in, they would fill a form before getting on a plane in the way you normally would when you are booking a flight. all the checks that take place at heathrow will be carried out by border force, the government agency... sorry to interrupt but literally where you are having your passport checked? they will be checking whatjob you do and if you have an address and the form? my understanding is there will be spot checks within the immigration area which is where the waterfalls officers will check that people have filled out the form and it isa

people have filled out the form and it is a legitimate one and there will be a triage for the very few people who will be exempted which will allow them to come in without quarantine. when you say spotchecks, some people may not have to give evidence in an airport and be able to walk straight through even though they should be quarantining and self isolated? all the forms feeling will ta ke isolated? all the forms feeling will take place before your go on the plane, on line. just like we provide information on bookings on any flight. information on bookings on any flight. the government will be able to check information before people get on the plane. in terms of departures, you said thermal screening is going to become again in the coming days and you will be checking people for temperature checks as they walk through. what percentage of people have you been pulling to one site at heathrow airport and sang, sorry, we need to doa airport and sang, sorry, we need to do a few more checks? —— saying.

airport and sang, sorry, we need to do a few more checks? -- saying. we have only just started do a few more checks? -- saying. we have onlyjust started the technical trials to see if the technology works, which it does and now we're working with public england to see if someone does have a heightened temperature, what we're going to do to make sure they are safe to fly and that this is an important step to the next phase. we need to get to a point where the only people who are travelling are people we can confirm not have the disease and the technology that does not exist yet but it is coming very soon... you have done the trials, priti patel is saying that quarantine measures are needed. and we are planning for what comes next. people from safe countries will be allowed to come to the uk but there has to be some

common international standard of screening people so that only those who do not have the disease are travelling and that will allow free—flowing travelling. that is probably a month away but the planning has to happen now and that is why we are trialling thermal screening which is widely used in many parts of the world in transportation and other sectors to test for the disease so it may be pa rt test for the disease so it may be part of the solution even if it is not the only solution. chief executive of heathrow airport, thank you very much. people will be following that closely. it starts on monday. the coronavirus pandemic has had a huge impact on the entertainment industry — from cancelled tours to delayed premiers — and the 2020 bafta television awards are no exception. this year it'll be happening behind closed doors, and with little more than six weeks to go, this morning the nominees for the 'must—see moment‘ category were announced. gavin and stacey in the running.

let's take a look. i will not lie, i am not everybody‘s cup of tea but at the end of the day, you were tidy. cheers. i mean that, i know it has been complicated, you and me... whatever this is. but i loved it and the truth be told, i loved you. yes, i know. you not listening. i know it is weird, all right, but i do. i loves you, with all my heart. so...

will you marry me? what? marry me. so many people watch that moment. it took me right back. we're nowjoined by gavin and stacey actor, larry lamb. i saw you smiling as you watch that. it was a wonderful moment, wasn't it. yes but the difference for me, several months before i had read it andi several months before i had read it and i found james and i said, whatever else, that ending it comes out at you like a bear out of the cave. it was just such a shocker, just the most extraordinary surprise ending, like the cliff—hanger of all times. as you will know, everything

is so beautifully played out but boy was that beautifully played out. it was that beautifully played out. it was the pauses, the moments in between when you are thinking, it's not, it is that moment. i know, the pairof not, it is that moment. i know, the pair of them played thatjust not, it is that moment. i know, the pair of them played that just so beautifully, so beautifully. it was like they waited all that time to play that scene. i don't know whether that was the idea at the beginning of writing the i love you will you marry me line ten years later. now there are millions of people out that desperate to find out what happens next. what happens next? i am out what happens next. what happens next? iam probably out what happens next. what happens next? i am probably the last person to ask. i am down the line. sooner or later somebody will do something but i will not be the one to know first. as an actor, it is so

beautifully written, or the characters are so beautifully written, or the characters are so beautifully formed, do you, after you finish a series in your head, and i know you are not part of the writing but do you start plotting, wouldn't it be interesting if... do you start doing that? i think everybody involved, including the millions that watch it are imagining what will happen next. that was a glorious shock of that ending. ijust did not see that coming at all. you are sitting in your kitchen, it looks like a lovely day, how has locked down been for you? lockdown has been a huge, huge surprise and i have been very lucky because i am staying deep in the countryside so there is not so much risk down here and i have been writing and it has just let me get

on and ride. most people saw it, at christmas, 70 million people, extraordinary figures. did you sit down and watch it like everyone else? yes. my family, i kept my family in the dark for months before it happened so i got a lot of flak for that and then, of course, we have to go through the whole thing of how good it is an 0rica do is reassure people, this is the best one ever and what was it going to do? not sit down with them. —— how good it is and just to reassure people. one of the great television moments. i am glad it is creative for you, the lockdown. it has to be

creative in the lockdown chair. thank you very much indeed for that. some national trust parks in england and northern ireland will re—open to visitors from today. carol is at the vyne in hampshire with the weather, what's it like there this morning carol? good morning everyone. we have some spots of rain in the air here in hampshire it is a very tranquil scene. 29 national trust properties are opening today in england and also in wales, in line with government regulations and if you are planning to come down, make sure you book in advance, don'tjust turn up. you book in advance, don'tjust turn many you book in advance, don'tjust turn up. many of the properties are fully booked for today so doubly check. if you do come, it is worth knowing that the house is and shops are all close. everything is remaining in line with government regulations

including social distancing. it is cloudy here. some rain and feeling much cooler than it was yesterday. yesterday the top temperature in hampshire was 26.9 degrees. today it is more likely to be 18 degrees at best. a weather front, is more likely to be 18 degrees at best. a weatherfront, a cold front with cooler conditions following but also bringing a fair bit of rain. rain overnight in cumbria, continuing to move through southern scotland, northern england, northern ireland, wales and the south—west. clearing northern ireland and leaving some sunshine behind. some showers across eastern scotland. that rain not arriving to england until tonight. temperatures down on yesterday. 11 anything north, 19 in the south. the rain eventually does make it down to the south—east, that could be heavy bursts as well. behind it some clear skies, a lot of

cloud and still quite breezy and that cloud still producing some showers. the cooler night in prospect with temperatures roughly six — eight in the north and 9—11 towards the south. for tomorrow morning, the rain in the south—east will slowly pull away and clear, leaving behind it variable amounts of cloud. 0ne leaving behind it variable amounts of cloud. one or two brighter spells and also some showers and again, some showers could be heavy. the breeze coming from the north. lower temperatures than we would expect this time of year plus the northerly breeze, it will feel quite cool and when you add on what we have been used to, it will make it feel especially cool. by the time we get to friday, a fair bit of cloud around. some sunshine and we still have those showers. the wind picking up have those showers. the wind picking up through the date through north—east scotland and also the

northern isles so again that will accentuate the chilli feel. saturday morning we could see sleet and snow above 700 metres in scotland, the north of scotland that is. worth mentioning, on saturday afternoon in particular, gales in the north—west. the headlines are next. good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today... demonstrators defy curfews in cities across the us to take part protests over the death of george floyd in police detention. the mother of his daughter appears in pubic to make an emotional plea for justice. and i wantjustice for him, because he was good. no matter what anybody thinks, he was good. could foreign holidays be back this year? the health minister tells us he can't be sure.

virtual freshers' weeks and online lectures — universities set out their proposals for re—opening after lockdown. we will see england play cricket this summer. they're preparing for three tests in three weeks against west indies, behind closed doors, with the teams in bio—secure bubbles. it's wednesday the 3rd ofjune. our top story... demonstrators have defied curfews in cities around the united states, protesting over the death of george floyd, who was killed after being restrained by police. large marches took place in los angeles, atlanta and new york. around 1,600 soldiers have been flown to bases around washington in response to the protests there. andy moore reports. it was just after ten o'clock local time in portland, oregon, when the mood changed rapidly. police said a

group of several hundred protesters broke from the main group and started throwing objects at the police. an unlawful assembly was declared. the police moved in to clear the streets. hours earlier, in daylight, thousands marched peacefully through the city. they laid down with their hands behind their back 49 minutes as they repeated the phrase, i can't breathe, the last words of george floyd. in washington, there were protests once again outside the white house. nearby, the day before, police had used force to clear away demonstrators, just before president trump emerged for a photo off with a bible in hand. he called himself the president of law and order. at one poll said 75% of americans sympathised with the protesters. right now, we are in the divided states of america. we are not in the united states. i am here to protest

police brutality, i'm here for george. sign up we are going to come out for the next day, the next day and the next day until i see some change. i will not stop fighting for my brothers and sisters, black, white, any race. i will not stop coming out here and you will not silence me. in washington, as elsewhere, the mood changed at nightfall. the demonstrators defied a curfew, the police responded. about 1600 troops have been sent to the washington area on standby. but so far, they haven't been seen on the streets. this is now the eighth night of protest in many cities across the usa. how long will it last? the home secretary, priti patel, will tell mps today that new quarantine rules are necessary to avoid a second wave of the coronavirus. from monday, most people entering the uk will be told to isolate for two weeks. we can speak now to our political correspondent helen catt. good morning. there has been a lot

of talk about these regulations coming in on monday. more details to emerge today? we know the basics, that it will be a period of 14 days of self isolation, that virtually anybody who comes into the uk will have to do, even if they are brits returning from abroad. there are some exemptions, if you are coming from ireland it will not apply, in some occupations will be exempt, lorry drivers for example will not have to do this. everybody else will, the idea is not to import any infections from abroad. the big concern has been around what the impact will be on the travel industry, when it is in a position to get up and running again. at the moment, government advice is that it is essential travel only outside the ukfor uk is essential travel only outside the uk for uk citizens. but many people do want to know what will happen in the future, when that changes. how will that impact my summer holiday? the health minister was speaking to this programme early and said it was too early to say. i would love to give people a clear answer on that.

i know the huge toll that this disease and the restrictions are taking on people. and i know one of the things many people will desperately want to do is to have a holiday. you will know from my previous interviews, as you would expect from a health minister, i am very cautious on this and not going to say a particular date or when that might happen, because we will have to be guided by how the disease behaves and controlling any risk of a second wave, and controlling the disease. i hope that people will be able to go on holiday at some point this year, but i can't make that promise because i have to be cautious, and go with the science. and i don't have that forward view yet of how a second wave might behave. helen, more comments this morning from sir keir starmer, increasing pressure on the prime minister? yes, it feels like a shift of tone from labour this morning. so far, labour's position has largely been it would support the government in the handling of the pandemic, but

would point out where it thought it was going wrong. an interview keir starmer has given to the guardian this morning take so much harder tone, particularly in terms of pinning personal responsibility on the prime minister. he describes concerns that borisjohnson is winging it over releasing lockdown restrictions. he talks about there having been a massive erosion of public trust over his handling of the row with dominic cummings. it feels like a much harder tone, and he also says that labour believes if there is a second peak, if the infection rate begins to rise, that responsibility will fall squarely at the door of number 10. so it does feel like a real shift from labour. after breakfast this morning on the bbc news channel, victoria derbyshire will be speaking to a clinical contact tracer, who says she's spent much of her time since the government's track and trace system went live last week watching netflix — because she hasn't been assigned a single case. italy is relaxing its lockdown

restrictions further today, by allowing people to travel freely within the country, and to and from other european countries. the move is an attempt to salvage the country's summer tourism season, which is crucial to its economy and employs an estimated 4.2 million people. the measures do not apply to visitors who started theirjourney from outside of europe. borisjohnson has warned china that, if it imposes new security laws in hong kong, britain will have no choice but to offer millions of people there a route to uk citizenship. china is facing mounting criticism and protests over its planned law, which people in the territory say could reduce their freedom. in an article in the times, the prime minister says britain will not walk away. we can whisk you away to an image of real calm. this week, we've been following the story of louis and aila — two ospreys nesting in the beautiful scottish highlands.

the woodland trust has been streaming live images from loch arkaig pine forest, where the pair have been incubating three eggs. and, early this morning, we saw the first images of their third chick hatching. and we can go live to the nest now to see how they're getting on. every time i see these pictures, it brings me a sense of calm. every time i see these pictures, it brings me a sense of calmlj every time i see these pictures, it brings me a sense of calm. i think you could just look at that and maybe listen in a little bit and be taken to entirely a different place. earlier on we saw one of the birds bringing back a fish, and we saw them feeding. there is something very calming about that scene. you can go and watch it live if you would like to. as we've been hearing, university leaders have set out how they might bring students back to campus safely at the start of the autumn term. so what changes could there be? according to the guidance, students might have to live in a "protective bubble" with people who are on the same courses, to limit social mixing. the plans also include "blended" learning,

with a combination of online lectures and smaller, face—to—face classes. freshers' week is likely to be scaled back, with virtual events and meetings in small groups, rather than large gatherings. and universities might introduce one—way systems across campus to help with social distancing. 0ur correspondent dan johnson is at the university of leicester this morning to find out how they're preparing. dan? give us a sense of how this might work out in practice. breaking news, it's raining, what is that about? that is a big change. there are huge questions about what the future of university will look like and how campuses will adapt. this is the university of leicester, and this is the main library building. there are 15,000 students normally on this campus that would see hundreds coming through these doors to use

the library. so how do you make this a safe and socially distant? this is the cafe, look at the turnstiles to get into the library. how would you have hundreds of students in and out of there every day, but safely. those are the questions faced by the boss, here. you've got a lot to work out. this is yourfirst boss, here. you've got a lot to work out. this is your first day back on campus? signs indeed, i've not been on the 23rd of march, great to be back, but different without the stu d e nts back, but different without the students back. all of the universities are facing the same challenge and we are sharing our plans for how we start the academic year. we are using a new scheme to provide a flexible blend of learning experiences for our students. they can have small classes, face—to—face teaching, and where there are large classes they will have online teaching. there will have online teaching. there will be some face—to—face, as well as online? it is important that we also maintain social distancing, and

i think it is important because stu d e nts i think it is important because students come to university and enjoy the face—to—face interaction with fellow students. and social life as well, there is discussion of bubbles where students might live and study with the same people, to stop them mixing? we are looking at that, i think we have to do, we need to adhere to the social distancing guidelines, so we are looking at how we can create small bubbles in terms of accommodation, some of the activities, like the laboratory activity or the seminar classes. to do that, we are also being very flexible in supporting the students with our packages. normally, all of them would be guaranteed a place at university with an annual contract, but given the uncertainty, we are providing a flexible contract, so they can choose between a weekly, yearly or by the term. so they could be on campus for a bit or working from home? they can choose according to their needs. but also, we don't know what the future might look like

in terms of the lockdown, so it gives more flexibility to students and financing. if that is the reality, is it worth people coming to university and spending all that money? i do think so, i think all of the universities, including leicester, we have put in a lot of effort to make sure that students get a high—quality experience when they here. where they are lacking that face—to—face contact, we are providing a learning experience and i think they will benefit from that transition. i think they are excited aboutjoining the transition. i think they are excited about joining the university transition. i think they are excited aboutjoining the university and we wa nt to aboutjoining the university and we want to make it as easy as possible. we are out of time. we know students are considering their options, some looking to delay or perhaps to fear. there are big decisions to be made atan there are big decisions to be made at an impossible time, really, to be making what our life defining decisions, when there is so much uncertainty. we've been speaking to a—level students in loughborough who are preparing for university life. here's what they had to say. doing it online won't affect it that much because you don't really

interact with the lecturer anyway, i don't think i hand, on zoom, for example, you can ask questions and things. so i think, lectures, we won't be missing out too much. they're planning on keeping the campus open and that's the most important thing for me. it'sjust to have the independence that you get when you go to uni. so i'm not too worried about all the other things, but i think, also, it won't last the duration of my entire four—year course, so i'll get to experience it at some point. if i'm paying nine grand, i think universities will do what they can to make it work. i kind of am looking forward to it. yeah, it's going to be a bit different, the student experience isn't going to be like how i probably expected it to be, but, yeah, i'm ready to get stuck into it. tuition fees are staying the same. it's a lot of money to pay for not getting the full experience and just doing stuff from home.

we're joined now by professor liz barnes, vice chancellor of staffordshire university and a member of uk universities, which published today's guidance. good morning. first of all, we will talk about your specific university ina talk about your specific university in a moment. the last point the young man made about... why should we pay all of the fees if we are not getting what the students got previously? that's a fair point, isn't it? our students will be getting that full experience. all stu d e nts getting that full experience. all students will be coming onto campus. and we have been using blended learning for a long time. actually, that adds richness to the learning, as opposed to being a deficit model. but also, we are using online to support students with mental health, supporting them with career skills. soi supporting them with career skills. so i don't actually think from september they are going to feel a very different experience, other than how we handle social distancing around the campus. you are saying

fewer lectures can be better, is that what you're saying? yes, actually, a lot of areas don't use big lectures in the same way now. what we try to do, when students are on campus, is work in small groups and give them access to specialist equipment, which is far better than a room of students. in the conversation about the students saying, actually, being online isn't that bad, what we have found since stu d e nts that bad, what we have found since students have been studying online during lockdown as they were saying that they feel they can ask more questions, because they are anonymous, they get more engaged in the conversations while they are online. i think this blended approach is nothing new and they will have a fantastic experiences. we are making sure we have a team of staff looking at how we manage the induction period, and how we make sure that there are social activities. both are virtual, but physical as well, using our open spaces on campus. so, it's interesting, dan was just looking at some of the practicalities in the

university, one university. you will have been looking at this as well. toa have been looking at this as well. to a degree, you can make preparations, you can have one—way hallways, you can advise they should stay in a bubble. as soon as stu d e nts of stay in a bubble. as soon as students of the campus, you can't control what they do, can you? so, what safeguards can you have in place for their health and welfare? well, we are looking after their health and welfare in terms of how we manage our campus. but we do need to remember that students coming to us are to remember that students coming to us are adults, and they are used to following codes of practice in terms of how they lived together and work together. and this is no different, other than they know they have to respond to government guidance on covid—19. which is what they are doing within their own homes at the moment. many are actually still on campus, or living in accommodation near to universities. they see this as their home. and so, we've managed, through the lockdown period, to have students on campus and we will continue to manage and support students. sorry to

interrupt, will you require, and i know there are questions about whether you are required to not only be with your course mates whilst at university, do you require them to also live together? what we are thinking about at the moment in terms of trying to make it as safe as we can, we will have fewer stu d e nts as we can, we will have fewer students in the halls on campus, because that is the best way to manage the social distancing. but if we group students together who will study together, that means that they will have less contact with other groups of students. are they required to live together also? they will live together. but this is a positive as well. in america, where they have done this before covid—19, they have done this before covid—19, they have done this before covid—19, they have shown this helps learning communities and retention. this isn't necessarily a negative thing. it doesn't mean that when they have their social events that they won't be mixing with other students, or that when they go to class, there might not be other students around. but it is one way of supporting track and trace, for instance, where

there is a group of students they see more frequently than perhaps others. professor liz barnes, thank you very much. vice chancellor of staffordshi re you very much. vice chancellor of staffordshire university. i want to warn people to prepare themselves come in a good way, for this next story. when single mum suzie vaughan was redeployed from her usualjob as an operations department practitioner, to work on a hospital ward dealing with covid patients, she made the difficult decision to move her children in with her sister, for fear of infecting them. they were separated for nine weeks and — as you might have seen on social media — their surprise reunion earlier this week was caught on camera. let's take a look. what are we watching? mummy!

crying ican i can hardly watch that, it makes me cry. adorable. suzie is with her daughters, hettie and bella, also her sister, charlotte, and her husband. suzie, just being at the centre of that hug must have been an incredible moment for you and the girls? oh, it was an amazing feeling, so hard to describe. i thought my heart was going to burst.

it was brilliant. bella and hettie, i don't know if you can hear me, but you are sitting watching something and you didn't know she was going to arrive? we were just watching some... we were watching youtube microbe —— youtube videos, and then she said, what are you watching, and hettie thought it was a joke, but it wasn't. can i ask siouxsie and the girls, when you first had to explain to them what you are going to do, and what was coming up, that must have been a hard conversation?“ was. as all parents do, you try to stay confident and reassuring on the outside, even though you are not feeling it on the inside. ijust let them know it would only be for a couple of weeks, initially, knowing full well that it would have been longer. but i didn't want to upset

them or make them worried. but it was a difficult conversation. bella and hettie, mum did the right thing, didn't she? because it was for her work. what do you think about the choice your mum made?|j work. what do you think about the choice your mum made? i think it was a really good choice, because she had to help and save people's lives. bless you! well, you don't hear that too often, do you? that is a bit special. i'm going to speak to charlotte, this is quite an ask, to look after your sister's daughters for some time. what was it like for you two? it was good fun. it was a learning curve. for both of us. we don't have our own children. we do have the girls to help suzie out in the summer holidays and that sort of thing. but it was good, really,

really good, actually. we had a lot of fun. we did some school work, but we did have a lot of fun. shall we ask bella and hettie, how was the school work? was that 0k? ask bella and hettie, how was the school work? was that ok? yes. what was the best bit about staying with charlotte, bella? i don't know, all of it, i think. that is the right answer. did you know, suzie, you obviously had a number of conversations with family, you thought about what was going to happen. but it must have been, again, a big ask, even of your own sister, in a way. you probably knew she would say yes, but asking is a different thing? yeah, well, we discussed it a few weeks beforehand. inevitably, the girls would have to go and live with charlotte. and she was completely understanding and

supportive. she knew where i was coming from, the fact that i wanted to keep the girl safe. i also needed to keep the girl safe. i also needed to put more hours and at work. 0bviously during the pandemic. so, we both agreed it was for the past, as hard as it was. it was definitely for the best. charlotte and erin, you must miss them now they have gone back to them? so much, the house is so quiet without them. they had to check we were 0k house is so quiet without them. they had to check we were ok on the first day. are the dogs missing them? they are missing them so much, they are so are missing them so much, they are so quiet, they don't know what to do with themselves. bubba especially. it's lovely to see your smile is today. it's brilliant, the way it has worked out, everyone is back in the right place now. thank you all very much, good to see you this

morning. goodness me! everybody is making difficult decisions at the moment. a new predator could soon be threatening britain's bee colonies. the so—called asian hornet, which eats pollinators, has been be spreading across europe over the last two decades. the channel islands now gets dozens of nests each year — and fears are growing that the uk mainland will be next, as our it doesn't look much, just a single queen feeding herfirst it doesn't look much, just a single queen feeding her first hatchlings this week injersey. but left unchecked, the nest will grow. this one was sound and nick found in jersey in 2018 and is reckoned to have contained thousands of hornets. they can be aggressive when disturbed. i think i'm going to withdraw. they are all over me. the first one was discovered injersey

in august 2016. since then, they have become more established in jersey, and the number of nests we have been finding have been rising. the fear is the uk mainland could be next. since 2016, 17 asian hornet nests have been found in england. and the beekeepers of britain are organising a home guard to propel the invasion. —— repel. iam organising a home guard to propel the invasion. —— repel. i am among some of the 30 hives owned by lynne ingram, a master beekeeper behind some of the efforts to protect britain from asian hornets. they are fa ntastically britain from asian hornets. they are fantastically successful at invading. they really are. and honey colonies are like a supermarket for an asian hornet. there are 50,000 bees in there. if you are on the search for food for your young, it is perfect. just watch this asian hornet dismembering a wasp. each

hornet dismembering a wasp. each hornet can kill up to 50 pollinators a day. we are really determined to try to learn from what we have seen in europe and not let that happen here. so, the more people that know what an asian hornet looks like, the more people there are keeping their eyes peeled, and the more people there are who can report it. how can you spot an asian hornet? the natural history museum has the largest collection of insects in the world, including a selection of hornets. you have a dark hornet, mostly black, with narrow yellow stripes on the abdomen and striking yellow parts on the legs. it is out there, hunting down bees, it is the lion of the insect world, the top predator. bees have enough to worry about already, but the honey bee is

itself an invasive species, and by biological standard is a relatively recent one. the first honey bees arrived in the uk with human settlers. let's go to our wildlife correspondent, carol is out and about, monitoring bees and other wildlife at a national trust property. what have you seen so far? we are at the vyne in hampshire, it is chilly with spots of rain, we have seen so much wildlife, the birds are chirping loudly. what a sight to see. 29 of the national trust properties in england, and also northern ireland, are opening ina also northern ireland, are opening in a phased reopening today. 0ther rules apply in other parts of the uk. let's talk to the general

manager of the vyne, stuart. good morning. it must be quite exciting, because you've been in lockdown for the last ten and a half weeks. how many visitors are you expecting today? we are fully booked up, using the online booking system. we have 250 people coming to the vyne today. they have to book online, you can't just rock up? we are restricting our numbers to half— hour slots, just rock up? we are restricting our numbers to half—hour slots, you have to book online every friday for the following week, four national trust properties that are open. today, a third of your normal capacity? yes, a third of our normal capacity for a day like today. somebody comes down, will the shops and cafe be open? we are having a nice walk, a lot of signs to remind people about social distancing, but the cafe and shop will not be open until further notice. is this your first stage of recovery as an organisation and do

you see it as a positive? this is the first stage, and we will be opening more in the next few weeks, when we can do, we will open shops and catering to make more money for the organisation. it's been a pleasure, thank you for having us. it isa pleasure, thank you for having us. it is a nice start to the day. the forecast, for the whole of the uk, is fairly cloudy. rain, and feeling much cooler than it has done in the last few days. we have a weather front which is moving southwards, a cold front, it has brought a lot of rain overnight to cumbria and it will continue to sink southwards as we go through the course of the day. behind it, well, it will turn that bit cooler again. the rain will continue itsjourney, pushing southwards, getting into the south—west, wales, northern england, out of scotland, entering the midlands. but not making it into the far south—east of england until tonight. behind it, some clear spells, particularly in wales. and

west western scotland, where we have a few showers. for the rest of scotland, cloudy with some showers again. temperatures today are down on yesterday. we are looking at about 11 in the north, highs of 19 in the south—west. for some, it is a good ten or 12 degrees lower than it was yesterday. through the evening and overnight, eventually we see the rain getting in to the south—east corner. some heavy bursts here and there. still breezy, and still if you showers. if anything, it will be a cooler night than the nightjust gone, because bear in mind the cold front behind it, with cold air coming in under northerly breeze. so, on thursday morning, we pick up that weather front in the southeast with its rain. that clears away onto the near continent. behind it, again, it will be breezy. accentuating the chilly feel. quite a bit of cloud around tomorrow, and you could catch a shower almost anywhere. limited brightness. but if you do see any sunshine, temperatures are still not going to

be that high. in fact, for thursday afternoon, we are looking at temperatures below average for early june. so, by the time we get to friday, again, a bit of a mishmash. we've got variable amounts of cloud, perhaps a bit more sunshine, but still some showers and still the chance of those showers could be heavy. still a noticeable cold breeze. at the breeze certainly picking up and turning windy across the north—east of scotland and also the north—east of scotland and also the northern isles. and the wind will actually be a feature of the weather in the north—west of scotla nd weather in the north—west of scotland on saturday, where it is going to be unseasonably windy, even some gales. carol, thank you very much. it's been lovely to be there and i'm sure people will enjoy it when they are there. nice too, by the way! thank you, we are expecting rain, charlie. i have seen rain this morning, we could have done with it. this is breakfast,

with charlie stayt and louise minchin. demonstrators have defied curfews in cities across the united states over the death of george floyd — who died after being restrained by police. large marches also took place in los angeles, new york and washington. in george floyd's hometown of houston, in texas, his relativesjoined 60,000 people at a rally to honour his memory, where they called for a peaceful show of solidarity. the home secretary, priti patel, will tell mps today that new quarantine rules are necessary to avoid a second wave of the coronavirus. from monday, most people entering the uk will be told to isolate for two weeks. but portugal's foreign minister has said that his government is talking to home office officials about a so—called "air bridge" agreement, so that tourists returning from his country can avoid the restrictions. a train driver, a midwife and a supermarket worker — perhaps not who you'd usually see on the cover of vogue. until now, that is. the uk edition of the magazine has dedicated itsjuly issue to key workers,

designing three special covers, each one featuring a woman working on the frontline. we can speak to one of those women now, rachel millar — a midwife, along with vogue's features editor, 0livia marks. a very good morning to both of you. so, rachel, like a lot of people, you know, people say thank you for the work you do and i know you people always take that very... you say, we just people always take that very... you say, wejust do people always take that very... you say, we just do ourjobs people always take that very... you say, wejust do ourjobs but people always take that very... you say, we just do ourjobs but this people always take that very... you say, wejust do ourjobs but this is a moment may be of a different kind of recognition. what was it like being photographed for vogue magazine? yes, it was mad. i was just doing a normal shift on the ward and came out of the room to get an epidural top up and the photographer was there, i got herded in front of the camera, and then photographed and then back into the room, so... and from there to the front cover is quite something.“

is and! front cover is quite something.“ is and i had no idea when it was taken that is what it would lead to but it snowballed from the first picture. the way you describe it, you had almost no prep time, it wasn't like a normal photo shoot, in that respect. absolutely not, someone asked me if i had my hair and make—up done and i said, absolutely not, i just and make—up done and i said, absolutely not, ijust went and make—up done and i said, absolutely not, i just went to work. there was no prep at all. let's speak to 0livia about the idea behind this, a wonderful idea and beautifully executed. how did you come up with it? thank you. quite early on, once lockdown had been announced, vogue 's editor in chief very keen to represent and shine a spotlight on the millions of people who weren't spotlight on the millions of people who we ren't able spotlight on the millions of people who weren't able to stay at home and going out every day to do theirjobs and it quickly became apparent that these were the everyday heroes that we we re these were the everyday heroes that we were all relying upon to get us through this pandemic, so that is where the idea was born and as we

had the portraits come in from jamie hawksworth, who was travelling around london on his bicycle, there we re around london on his bicycle, there were just so many people and it became the cover story quite early on in our minds. which is absolutely brilliant. have you done this kind of thing before? is it a first?“ isa of thing before? is it a first?“ is a first in many ways. as rachel said, there were no hairand make—up teams, no expectation for each of the subjects of the portraits to do hairand make—up, there the subjects of the portraits to do hair and make—up, there was the subjects of the portraits to do hairand make—up, there was no fashion styling. it was very much, as you are. jamie captured these portraits, sometimes in a brake on a shift, at the end or beginning of a working day, so, in that respect, very much so. with last september's issue, we had notjust celebrities on the cover but this is certainly the first time we have had everyday people there, yes. rachel, i don't

know what phrase for it is, i don't know what phrase for it is, i don't know what phrase for it is, i don't know what the banter is like between midwives and whether you take the mickey out of each other, how that works, getting through the dayjob but something in my head tells me... did other people know that the vogue photographer was going to be there? was it known? no, i was at the desk andi was it known? no, i was at the desk and i heard a colleague pascal say something about a photographer, and it turns out there was a vogue photographer coming and i thought it was a joke but then he turned up and i thought that micro everyone had their picture taken and that was how it worked. so a lot of people had their picture taken? yes, and we we re their picture taken? yes, and we were told other departments were going to have portraits done as well, so we didn't know what it was being used for. we knew it was vogue and some sort of features on key workers in a pandemic but that is all we know. olivia, there are three front covers, can you choose which

one you buy? how does it work? it is what we call a gatefold, so each three will be on and we will rotate you can see first. as rachel said, we photographed lots of people that day, lots of people across london, shopkeepers, carers, teachers, cleaners, all of whom are in the portfolio. the three we chose for the front cover we felt were beautiful, strong portraits but also represented not just the beautiful, strong portraits but also represented notjust the nhs, but the london 0verground transport and supermarket assistants who, very quickly, i think everyone realised that, alongside the nhs, they were really be heroes and the stars of the country as well. rachel, people are always the country as well. rachel, people a re always interested the country as well. rachel, people are always interested in how people within the health care industry have been coping themselves and i noticed that one of the things you said was most difficult for you is you had your bicycle stolen, is that right? yes, idid, i your bicycle stolen, is that right? yes, i did, iwas your bicycle stolen, is that right? yes, i did, i was out working one day, it was my first post natal

visit, going to see families who had just left the labour ward with their newborns. went in and came out and it has gone, but the response to it was incredible. friends from hackney church and others raised £3000 within hours and a local company provided me with a brand—new electric bike, so the response was incredible and really overwhelming. and, rachel, tell us briefly, having a new baby during these times has got to be quite tough for people. how are people that you meet coping? i think there has been a lot of anxiety but i guess that is part of ourjob, it is assessing physical health and mental health as well so we are trying our best to keep ourselves calm and hopefully that radiates onto other people as well. 0livia, we ask pretty much everyone we talk to, how is lockdown working

out for you? well, thank you for asking. it has been as good as it can be, getting lots of work done. thisjuly issue which can be, getting lots of work done. this july issue which comes out on friday is the first one from start to finish that we have fully produced remotely. so it has been lots of meetings on zoom, lots of calls, but it has been interesting andl calls, but it has been interesting and i am thrilled we have found a new way of working, at least for this moment. very good, lovely to speak to you both. 0livia, the features editor at british vogue and rachel, thank you so much. i always think midwives have an air of calm about them. you have that, rachel, all of the plants, everything is very calm behind you. lovely to see you, congratulations on your debut in vogue magazine. thank you very much indeed. it is just coming up to 8:40am and sally can tell us about what is going on in the sporting world.

good morning to you both, plenty to talk about over the next few hours, in light of those protests we have been reporting on in the programme. lewis hamilton says he is "completely overcome with rage" at events in the usa, following the death of george floyd. he's issued a statement, saying... "this past week has been so dark. "i have failed to keep hold of my emotions". meanwhile, the former manchester city and qpr player nedum 0nuoha has told the bbc he doesn't feel 100% safe in the united states as a young black man. he now plays for real salt lake in the american league, and says he understands the protesters' anger. hopefully, you know, the change will come, but, then, within that, there are so many nuanced things within the protests because, say, for example, a lot of black people are scared to do what some of the white people are doing to the police or to try and make their voices be heard in these protests, you know, which kind of shows exactly what's been going on, if you know what i mean. but, yeah, it's crazy to see but it's very, very necessary and, for me, i'm not going to tell them they shouldn't be able to do anything because,

at the end of the day, they've not been heard for this long so far, so let them be heard now. england's summer of cricket will begin on the 8th ofjuly. they'll play three tests against the west indies behind closed doors at southampton and old trafford — both of which have hotels on site, to keep the players in a bio—secure environment. england captainjoe root has been back in the nets, preparing for a very different schedule to the one originally proposed, with those three matches taking place in three weeks, and regular testing for the players. to make 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 are obviously helping the game massively and of course safety is everything, and it wouldn't be possible if, you know, if that was going to be compromised. but still, it must be extremely scary and i think the whole cricketing world will be grateful to see some cricket, yeah. another sport finalising plans

for a restart is formula one. the season will finally begin in austria at the start of next month. there'll be eight grands prix across europe, including two at silverstone on successive weekends in august, all behind closed doors, with major security measures in place. i think as someone said, actually being in a formula 1 pit lane might be one of the safer places to be because of the level of safety precaution we are going to take before we go motor racing. and then we need to be prepared to react because we are in an area which none of us have been in before. so, what we know today might change tomorrow. yesterday, we spoke to the great frankie dettori here on breakfast, about the return of horse racing. and here he is, riding galsworthy to victory at kempton. he'll be racing again at newmarket from tomorrow, as the sport steps up a level,

with the four—day guineas festival. so, slowly getting back to a version of normal. 0bviously, so, slowly getting back to a version of normal. obviously, no crowds, and the jockeys and everyone on the course wearing masks, but some racing for the fans to watch. thank you. the start of this week saw the return of competitive sport in england — but as well as lots of rules and limitations, training in a socially distant way can bring a lot of challenges. frankie dettori was talking about how he had to use the mask and... libby clegg is one athlete who has been finding it tough. she's a paralympic sprinter who is visually impaired, and she would normally be attached to her training partner. shejoins us now from loughborough. thank you so much forjoining us. i think you are allowed back on the track, aren't you, but at a social distance so what kind of difficulties does it mean? it is really difficult at the moment because, obviously, we got quite a lot of protocol in place. we have to do welfare checks before we can even

come to the track and then we have to check our temperature. 0bviously, i normally run with a guide runner and for me at the moment, it is really difficult. 0nly and for me at the moment, it is really difficult. only a few people are allowed on the track at once and at the moment, it is a maximum of eight people, that includes athletes and coaches and if i'm running with my guide runner, we have to run two lanes apart from one another, so he is trying to give me verbal cues rather than physical ones, it is quite hard. it must be incredibly hard. does it make you nervous? how does it feel having to do that?“ does it feel having to do that?“ does make me really nervous. i'm lucky that there are not many people on the track so i don't have that additional variable of lots of people training, but i'm not able to run anywhere near as quick as i normally would do, so my fitness levels will take a bit longer to get back because i can only do my real ha rd back because i can only do my real hard training when i'm with my guide. tell us about the relationship with the guide, it is such an incredible one and the trust between the two of you. it is, it is

a real trust and relationship and there is a lot of communication, but a lot of it isn't verbal, it is more physical so we have to adapt the way we work together to make the most of the situation and hopefully we will be able to work closer together at some point in the nearfuture. be able to work closer together at some point in the near future. tell usa some point in the near future. tell us a little bit about how lockdown has affected you as well, what particular difficulties have you had? for me, lockdown has been quite difficult, predominantlyjust getting to the shops, really. you know, it varies from the challenges of trying to find the end of the queue to get into a supermarket, to navigating the shop itself and trying to keep out of people's way, but, also, when you are registered blind, you do touch a lot of things, soi blind, you do touch a lot of things, so i will pick up packets to check what they are but, also, i take pictures with my phone, so it is quite a tactile experience and it has been really difficult and it is

a habit! has been really difficult and it is a habit i have been trying to get out, not only just a habit i have been trying to get out, not onlyjust for my safety but for other people's and it has been a real challenge. you need to look at stuff and check the dates of things, don't you? that is it, you need to be able to know what things are so i do try and go into supermarkets, the same supermarkets, so i know the layout of the store but also try and keep out of other people's way. when i have hattie, my guide dog, people are much more observant and aware that i can't see but the dogs are obviously not trying to stay two metres away from other people, so some people are really helpful and will automatically get out of your way, but even from being waved into the shop, i don't have that vision to be able to see when i am being told to come in the store, so there are so many different challenges surrounding it. you know, i don't a lwa ys surrounding it. you know, i don't always have my guide dog with me because, at the minute, the weather has been really hot and she

com pletely has been really hot and she completely absorbs the heat. i have occasionally gone to the shop on my own and people are completely unaware that i'm registered blind and that faces another challenge because i have to try to explain to people my life story to get a little bit of help. and amongst all of that, of course, the paralympics has been postponed for another year which, again, for any athlete, that is so tough, to reassess what you are doing. it's been really tell. i'm not going to lie, the first few weeks, i really struggle to motivate myself to train. just because, obviously, our lives run on a four—year cycle and everything is in within four years and it is a big change, really, especially for athletes who were planning on retiring potentially after tokyo. it is an extra year that they have to those choices to train. it is difficult for everyone. you are very cheery to speak to this morning, it is lovely to chat to you. thank you

very much indeed. great smile, lovely smile. talking you through some of the practicalities. you don't think about how her the heat has an impact. you might think it's an unpredictable time to move house, but estate agents have reported record levels of interest since restrictions on buying and selling properties were eased two weeks ago. despite the biggest fall in house prices in more than a decade, the national association of estate agents say the pandemic has created a surprisingly buoyant market. phil mackie has more. moving in, after lying dormant through lockdown, the housing market is coming back to life and is busier than expected. i've got people to quote than expected. i've got people to q u ote every than expected. i've got people to quote every day in the next couple of weeks, so, you know, it is coming back. from being completely dead. hopefully get a good rush but that is keeping fingers crossed, we just have to wait and see. the more rural

the location, the more of a hotspot it has become, as people have got used to working from home, they are looking to move away from the big cities. in shropshire, demand is high. this estate agent has been twice as busy as normal since restrictions were lifted. the market has gone absolutely ballistic, you know? the market is crazy. the pent up know? the market is crazy. the pent up demand we felt all the way through, with people queueing to view, registering to view. as soon as the government made the announcements, our phones went into meltdown. the boom caused by the easing of lockdown may only be temporary but they think more people are now looking to move out of the big cities to places like shrewsbury, which might mean the property market here is more buoyant for longer. but there is still a great deal of uncertainty. this could just be down to pent up demand, a bit like a dam being burst. estate agency enquiries may dry upjust as burst. estate agency enquiries may dry up just as quickly. burst. estate agency enquiries may dry upjust as quickly. what we can't predict is what effect the

impending recession will have on employment and in certain areas, that might be quite acute. a tiny little postage stamp gardens... and know you have all of this. christine james has left the i of dogs in london and will move into her new home in shrewsbury as soon as she can. look around, it is beautiful here. and there are lots of other places just of here. and there are lots of other placesjust of nice. here. and there are lots of other places just of nice. but in here. and there are lots of other placesjust of nice. but in london, you are all squashed and, always in a crowd, people get aggressive on the underground, it is hot and sticky in the summer and you hate to think what it is going to be like this year. post lockdown, leaving the big cities could be the next big thing, but economic uncertainty might also see this sudden urge and interest vanish with the weather. the coronavirus pandemic has had a huge impact on the entertainment industry — from cancelled tours to delayed premieres — and the 2020 bafta television awards

the coronavirus pandemic has had a huge impact are no exception. this year, it'll be happening behind closed doors, and with little more than six weeks to go, this morning we can share the nominees for the must see moment category, will you marry me? what? marry me. and although it doesn't

roll off me tongue, i do believe she's beautiful. so i've decided to re—couple. you two, over here. move! you cannot deny, there is a lot of variety! i was gripped. we're now joined by coronation street actor, katie mcglynn and our entertainment correspondent, colin paterson. good morning to both of you. katie, iam not good morning to both of you. katie, i am not sure that that very brief glimpse of your scene there did it justice, but for those who didn't see it and don't know the story line, this was a huge storyline for you. your character sinead died from cervical cancer, dying at home in bed, with her husband there, that is

the scene we saw. presumably for you, this was an extraordinary moment of drama. yes, i was over the moon when i found out they wanted to do this story, so ijumped at the chance, because i wanted to shine a light on cervical cancer again and, you know, it doesn't always end happily. you know, it doesn't always end happily, so i wanted to show that, especially as an actress. so to find out the news we are nominated for a ba fta, out the news we are nominated for a bafta, we are alljust beyond thrilled, we are over the moon, i think especially because after the national television awards, it was a great start of the year and then obviously all of this happen so i just assumed that would be it, then, i assumed everything would be cancelled and moving onto the next job, so to find out we have been nominated for an bafta, we are so happy. everybody worked so hard on this story, the cast, the crew, the writers, the researchers. and the

storyline, tell us more, i don't know how unusual it is but you, as an actor, were closely involved in the decision—making about how the storyline would go. yes, so, originally, the producer pulled me aside and asked me if i would like to do the cancer storyline and, like isaid to do the cancer storyline and, like i said earlier, ijumped at the chance and said i would love to and he said! chance and said i would love to and he said i am not sure how we would like it to end, and i said i want her to die. it sounds very morbid but i thought, i want to do the story properly. if we are doing a story properly. if we are doing a story like this, i want to do the full ride and we will do it properly and showcase what happens. because it does happen. every day, people are dying from cancer and everyone know someone affected by cancer so i

wa nted know someone affected by cancer so i wanted to do the storyline and show everybody what can happen and how you do need to get checked, you do need to check your smear tests and, to be fair, i'm over the mood we have been nominated for an bafta —— for a bafta because hopefully it will remind would be to get themselves checked, obviously when it is safe to do so. so i am happy now because it has highlighted that as well. katie, credit to you for being part of creating that moment as well. because it has been nominated so lots of credit to you as well. people are saying, you won the n as well. people are saying, you won thent as well. people are saying, you won the nta, as well. people are saying, you won the n t a, you have done this and done that, but i am a humble person andi done that, but i am a humble person and i put it down to the writers, to the directors. rob, obviously, by on—screen partner, so i can't take the credit for everything, ijust jumped at the part, got into the

character as much as i could because i wanted it to be as realistic as possible, so, yes, i'mjust i wanted it to be as realistic as possible, so, yes, i'm just happy that i got the chance to do the storyline on coronation street, because i love the show, i have loved it for years and it was an absolute honour and pleasure to be pa rt absolute honour and pleasure to be part of the show for so long and do this storyline. let's pick up with colin. 0ther this storyline. let's pick up with colin. other programmes are available on the shortlist! fleabag, game of thrones, gavin and stacey, love island, line of duty. that is variety in a nutshell. two comedies, three death scenes, one love island re—coupling. you had larry lamb on in the last hour for gavin and stacey, what a show that was, more than 18 million people have been designated as having seen that programme and wherever i went last summer, when it was being recorded, for bbc breakfast, it was like the

beatles had come to barry. there we re beatles had come to barry. there were huge crowds at the end of the red and that excitement has really captured by the huge audience and the cliffhanger they are nominated for. then you have fleabag, the confessional scene, phoebe waller bridge with a glass of whiskey, the hot priest outside the confessional booth and her pouring out how frightened she is about the world and that is the series that got her and that is the series that got her a role writing on the bond film. we talked about the coronation street death scene and also arya stark in game of thrones, not everyone was convinced by the final series of game of thrones but everyone was convinced by that last episode. and then line of duty, stephen graham getting bumped off. that is what was so good about that series, in line of d, no matter how big the star, anyone can die at any time —— line

of duty. and the love island re—coupling, michael swapping and there was such poignancy because the clip does feature caroline flack, who of course took her own life this year, so a poignant nomination for love island. lots of people watching them will remember them really well and it is members of the public who can and it is members of the public who ca n vote, and it is members of the public who can vote, it opened at eight o'clock this morning. yes, it is the one category the public can vote for. vote with your feet as well. hank you so much, brilliant to talk to you. —— thank you. we will be back tomorrow morning at 6am. but we want to leave you with these wonderful live images from an 0spreys' nest, in line of duty, where they have become parents to three chicks. we have loved watching them, we hope you do too. enjoy the

rest of your day. —— in loch arkaig.
