as a contact tracer since it testing programme, as we continue to went live and i'm yet, keep wales a safe and this approach over 38 hours, to make a single will be virtual. phone call or be assigned a case. so you've worked 38 hours the latest as a clinical contact tracer, scientific evidence suggests that on shift, since the system went warm weather and sunlight gives us live, and you haven't phoned anyone? the best opportunity to ensure no, i've had no contact more time in school. from anyone. i've had no contact waiting until from supervisors, i've literally been on the system, september would mean almost half a refreshed the system and entertained myself during that year without schooling, which would be to the detriment, watching netflix. to the what are you watching? well—being, to learn progress and i've been watching the mental health of our children and good place. young people. iam i've returned back to season one, mental health of our children and and now i'm halfway young people. i am convinced also it through season three. is only in returning to i've just watched it, their own alongside going back to the system, school will be then see increased refreshing it, occasionally having to log back in because attendance from our most vulnerable it's timed out. and disadvantaged children. yeah, i've yet to have contact with anybody regarding contact of course, saying all this, i also know tracing. that this has been and continues to so taxpayers are paying bea that this has been and continues to be a really worrying period for you to watch netflix? us all. what we are yes, and it's doing is creating frustrating. the opportunity for children to do you feel guilty, just sitting there, refreshing your screen check in, catch up and prepare, and and watching

we will make netflix? allowances for families i do, yeah, and their individual circumstances and their individual circumstances and respect their decisions, whether definitely. i've gone into nursing they choose for their children to cos it's a vocation, return between now and the end of and i've gone into this role with the intention of july. the health and well—being of providing care for pupils and staff is people and always will in whichever capacity be our primary i can. this contact tracing idea, concern. i know which is working in other countries, and like in germany it's quite understand that many people will effective, it's frustrating feel apprehensive. the three and a to know that i am sat idle half week period before the next when there are people that need phase gives us time to watch contacting. developments elsewhere and provides i can't understand why further checking points to review the evidence and we haven't had any contacts. it doesn't make any sense to to ensure the me. what do you think of continued success of the roll—out of that? i think it's appalling, testing, tracing and protecting. i think it's dishonest. i know that by working together, and that is one of the fundamental we can secure equity and concerns about this. we're trying to build a very large excellence for pupils as they check in, catch up system that is trying to keep and prepare people in england safe, for summer to try and prevent a second and spike. i understand it is complex, september. 0nce and prepare for summer and september. once again, i want to say

and i understand there's a massive thank you to the education going to be challenges, family and the parents of wales who but from my perspective, as a citizen of england, have done such an amazing job to date. thank you. i would prefer honesty. i am it's not ready yet — have done such an amazing job to date. thank you. iam now have done such an amazing job to hold fire. date. thank you. i am now going to turn to questions from our you know, they've released collea g u es aspects of lockdown, turn to questions from our colleagues in the media, and today we are going to which without track and trace, it is not safe to do begin with bbc so. not having a system up and running wales. good afternoon. is obviously frustrating, but it's about people's lives. it has been becky, thank you very repeatedly said it is taking a much for cautious approach to the lockdown. talking to you also considered reopening us. schools in september, the department of health and social waiting until care told us in a statement... "the new nhs test and trace service then or limiting at a certain year is up and running groups. instead you have gone for an "and will help save lives. option which it sees children from "these claims do not reflect the huge amount all different year groups spent some of work already under way. time back in school. is that the "anyone in this country can book a test and we have over 25,000 cautious approach? yes, "contact tracers in place absolutely. to undertake this vital work." asi cautious approach? yes, absolutely. as i outlined in my statement, we have you will be moving very cautiously, been called limiting the number of children that by a can be in a classroom at contact tracer? any one time, limiting the number of

i want to introduce children that can be in school at any one time, but at the anthony costello. same time he's professor of global health we are ensuring there is at university college london, and a former director equity and at the world health organization. that all children are given the he also helped set up the independent sage, opportunity to check in which is a group of scientists who question the uk government's and prepare response to with their teachers ahead of the summer holiday. as i said, the pandemic. we will be issuing guidance next hello to you, good morning. let week, and i have already been hugely heartened me read you this e—mail from hello to you, good morning. let me by head teachers coming forward read you this e—mailfrom graham, who has messaged me to say please with very practical plans of how they can drop this story. 2,000 cases, move to this next phase 25,000 contact tracers, many of them will of supporting children and families in never see a single case their learning. i want to make it of the infection rate remains low. drop absolutely clear. what we are the story, it's annoying. is seeing todayis absolutely clear. what we are seeing today is not a return to how schools he right? well, no, because are operated on march the 18th when there should be we made the announcement 8,000 according to the office of to close for statutory purposes. also buying national statistics, so over that period, they should doing this before september, have been it gives us an actual firebreak to 24,000... but it means that the reflect on those experiences before system is not picking up 00:31:57,1000 --> 00:31:58,857 more than we go into the next summer term. so maybe 20 or 30% of cases

iam we go into the next summer term. so i am satisfied that we have and is missing probably at least two thirds the ability to have more children back of co nta cts, missing probably at least two thirds of contacts, and that is why your in school at this time, to take nurse has not had any advantage of the summer months and calls. my big do that worry about this, it is clearly not fit for purpose yet. safely. what the worrying would you thing is can it ever be fit for say to parents that... purpose and why was it set up like who are wondering this? you need speed and you what is the point of sending their need trust. it should be local, it children back before the summer if should they are only going to get be integrated with gps and public very health and it should be sustainable. limited amount of time in why did they not set up school? is ita limited amount of time in school? is it a risk worth taking? as i one test trace and isolate hub for said every last time i stood 30,000 population, in at this podium, i every primary cannot create a risk—free ca re 30,000 population, in every primary care network? gps would have been environment. what we can do is there to reassure you in mitigate and manage that your case, risk. that monitor you and know about is what we will do your in the next underlying conditions and follow—up. that was the obvious thing to do, phase. i think, for they could set up tests and get many parents, they will see the value results within 24 of us. that is of their not happening with the separate children having the commercial system and i don't think opportunity to it is going to work with have face—to—face teaching time in a the contact very small, dedicated tracing. there are a

couple of group so that issues, certainly from viewers contacting me. one is that people their children can see their teachers once again, they can are being tested but it is taking over a week for them to get reflect on their experience the results back, so that would over the last number of weeks, that they obviously lead to a delay with can have some catch up tuition in a the contact tracers. mike in beverley very small group and that they can begin says my daughter—in—law, a key worker in a hospital, was to prepare for things that they could be doing over the summer tested positive last thursday. my son who holidays and to prepare for isa positive last thursday. my son who is a policeman tested positive on september. we know, and friday, they are both now i listened with interest as i drove in to work isolating. as of today, nobody from track and this morning, your colleagues on trace has contacted them. why? bbc radio wales that had clips from what is breaking down in the middle, do children. many of them want you think? that well, if opportunity to go back in, to see their teachers, to be able to see you don't some of theirfriends, chase their teachers, to be able to see some of their friends, and your contacts until much later, the their teachers, to be able to see some of theirfriends, and i am afraid it will only be some of their system becomes a bit pointless. are friends. we cannot have entire year we actually going to build a groups together. i think there is protective shield that will give us real value. we know the evidence the confidence to know we are tells us that online locking down the cases of contacts that we really want to so that learning works best when supported by face—to—face eve ryo ne that we really want to so that everyone else can get back to work contact, and we need and the economy can get going again. to begin to it has got to be speedy, it's establish that face—to—face contact got to that will best support our be trusted and i don't have

online learning. next we confidence at the moment that it is. the other thing at the moment is the are going to tests being done in the commercial go to itv wales. good sector, they don't collect postcode or address details, so nothing goes afternoon. good afternoon. you describe this as a back to gps and we don't have the check—in and as i catch up numbers of tests by locality, which opportunity, but one union has said is very essential, because there are those are not good enough big changes. i looked at this reasons for what they say is risking lives. data in london, this very low what do you say to testing rate, low number that? as i said, of cases. it is not helpful, birmingham, bradford, lancashire, i think, at this kent, essex, much higher rates. we stage, to have inflammatory need to know this so that local authorities can respond language. i would do nothing and i appropriately. a number of people have done nothing from this entire are saying it is really good news, period when we closed schools for it means everyone is following statutory purposes to do anything to social distancing, sticking to the risk anybody was two metres and that is why anybody‘s life. i people aren't being contact trace. is am surprised any teaching union that fair? it may be a would negate the positives of factor, of course. children being in front of their we have had social distancing, members. as i said in answer although it has loosened up in the to beth, we know online learning works last week or so. we simply don't best when supplemented know. in many other places, you by would expect more than 2.5 face—to—face contact. we have to get ready for a new

close contacts and, you know, when we get normal. we have to back to a normal economy, it begin that process of moving may rise to ten or 20. look, it to that new normal, which will is early days and the government also give us be limited contact, face—to—face contact in time, but they have opened schools, more time at schools this week and independent sage said home learning they recommended waiting another two ina schools, more time at home learning in a distanced fashion, but it is weeks before they did that, so surprising that any union would that negate the ability of their the system was in place and, at the members to use any opportunity to moment, independent sage is looking at the whole test trace and isolate work with and we will have a public children. i know we are going to get consultation on friday online and to more details on exactly how this produce a report next week to see will happen next week whether we can tweak the system as you said. to try and make it realistically, can children be expected to stay two metres apart, work. the clinical and if they cannot, is it safe for contact trace i spoke to said them to be she believed we have got a system that in school? megan, isn't ready to function and it was for brought in prematurely. do older children, that is easier to do you think it without any shadow of a there is something in that and, if doubt. with our smallest and youngest so, why would it have been brought learners, that is of in if it wasn't course incredibly difficult to achieve, but quite ready? well, absolutely, that is what we have we are not starting from scratch. been saying for the last two weeks, 0ver we are not starting from scratch. over the last period of weeks, that the risks too, for example, we

have had approximately one quarter children and more especially the of welsh schools that have already been opening for children of all home contacts, would halve ages, and we have found if you waited another two weeks and it ways of would also give you the added managing that risk and ensuring protection. i mean, it is kind of that those childcare hubs operate safely crazy to think you can introduce for our youngest and oldest a students. undoubtedly it is a real national programme on a thursday and it is all going to be up challenge and it is unrealistic and running to and working smoothly by expect our very youngest learners to monday. be able to adhere to social clearly, that hasn't happened. is it distancing all the time. that is why giving us a false sense we will need to keep children in very small groups so that they are of security, as the contact trace are suggested not mixing. that is why we will to be? yes, it need to keep them with a dedicated member is because clearly, of staff so we are not exposing the cases are not picking up enough staff to numerous cohorts of contacts the cases are not picking up enough co nta cts to the cases are not picking up enough contacts to make children, and we need to manage that any real measurable risk. but we have to acknowledge impact... there are more cases for our very risk. but we have to acknowledge for our very youngest children out there in the community than people realise. thank you very much for that that —— that social distancing is a talking to us, professor challenge, but we have experience of dealing with this in the hubs anthony costello, former director of the operating date. we have learned good world health organisation practice, we know how to mitigate and who the risks and now we are helped set up a so—called able to use independent sage, a group of that experience to expand the scientists who have been opportunity for more of our children critical of to go into school for these crucial the uk government's handling of the

checkins coronavirus crisis in this to go into school for these crucial check ins and catch up sessions country. their teachers. i think now we are the future of the uk's biggest car plant is under threat going to move to andy davis of from a no—deal brexit. nissan has warned that its plant channel in sunderland, which employs 6,000 people, would be 4. unsustainable if the uk going to move to andy davis of channel4. thank going to move to andy davis of channel 4. thank you. leaves the eu without a trade deal — going to move to andy davis of channel4. thank you. could going to move to andy davis of channel 4. thank you. could you explain how it will work and tariffs are imposed on cars in practice, please, to have everyone at the end of the brexit transition period. back at school but a our business editor simonjack has been talking to their chief third of pupils operating officer in japan. president at any one time? given how much learning time has been during the covid—19, lost, have you considered extending nobody has a crystal ball the to forecast what is going school day to make up to happen for lost time? this year, and that is why have you discussed that with the teaching unions? i have last week when we announced our four—year transformation plan, to say, that we did not announce the forecast for 2020. is one of the most interesting backdrops i have seen in any having said that, this year, the total automotive market should interview. you are clearly be 20% less than last year, in your and this is what we car. as i are anticipating. then we have to go market by market, said in my we are seeing china, statement, to which is coming back very extend the term by a week to create fast, so this morning i additional time to ensure issued that the so this morning i sessions can take place. we have

received the results of may, not had discussions about extending the and so we are gaining market share. we are increasing year on year, school day but clearly the school day is going to operate differently. but then we have to see how the us we will need to is recovering and how europe is recovering. have staggered start in europe, you said that times for children and potentially staggered finishing times for you will let your alliance partners renault take a children. but we are going to work lead in that very closely with our local market. education authorities and our will that involve renault using some of the spare capacity individual head teachers. i have to in the uk and shifting production to sunderland? accept that here in the when we go to europe, obviously the 18 million government, we have to take account of local car market circumstances. not every single and just the market share, school is built the are we going to do same. different and just the 3% market schools have different sized share, are we going to do cohorts. we have to trust in our everything by ourselves? head teachers and our governing the answer is no. are we going to focus bodies and local education on our core authorities to be able to use the expertise? national guidance and the national answer is yes. expectation to ensure that works now, the question comes for them ina whether we are going to manufacture expectation to ensure that works for them in a local setting. my in this plant or that plant, expectation would be that head i think that is something teachers will be contacting which is the decision of each company to take based parents to understand what works best for on the competitiveness. but there is no resumption them in their own individual on the manufacturing location. you announced last week that nissan circumstances. we can set a will be preserving its plant national in sunderland, but what happens guidance and the expectation and we will work closely with our

in the event of a no—deal brexit with tariffs on cars? head will the plant be safe teachers and education authorities in that situation? to ensure that that works in we believe and we urge that the quick agreement a between the uk and eu, practical level in individual because we can sustain this business settings, recognising there will be some variation. thank with the correct tariff structure. you. yes, if the tariffs are apologies for the backdrop, but it imposed, is the best i can do. it's not a question of school in sunderland. our whole business in the parts of wales are already dealing uk or in europe will not be with considerable budget deficits. sustainable because 70% of our operation the staff are facing redundancies. what they are hearing now makes them is exported out of sunderland. think that if anything, they are as you know, there are brexit going to need more staff and negotiations happening right now, more funding to cope with what is about and given what you said about sunderland last week, to come. so what many people think it's safe extra funding have no matter what happens with brexit you calculated that this now. we want to will require for schools to operate in this way? as i continue, we are committed, we have said, i think it shown our commitment by launching is the newjuke, we have important to recognise that schools shown our commitment by investing will be operating very differently. in the new press line for the next i don‘t want anybody to take away qashqai, we are doing from this session this afternoon everything, that we are going back to how which makes sense for the things where in march. we country, our employees, to the economy — to our customers in will see, for europe and in the uk. instance, one classroom teacher

having said that, if have that cohort of children we are not spread over getting the may be a day or correct tariffs, a number of days. getting the current tariffs, but we are confident that working it's not our intention, the business will not with our local education be sustainable. authorities, we can staff that's what everybody has to understand. these proposals and we will always have, borisjohnson has warned as we always do, i continued china that if it imposes new security laws in hong kong, dialogue to ensure resources, the britain will have no choice necessary resources , a re but to offer millions of people dialogue to ensure resources, the necessary resources, are available. we have stepped up to the plate there a route to uk citizenship. already. we were the first china is facing mounting criticism government in the united kingdom to and protests over its planned law, commit to funding a free school which people in the territory say meals during the school holidays. we could reduce their freedom. invested heavily to ensure our in an article in the times, the prime minister digitally excluded children have says devices and wi—fi at homes so britain will not walk they can participate in online away. cyclone nisarga has made landfall around 100 kilometres south learning, so we will work with our of the indian city of mumbai, local bringing powerful winds education 30s and kansas to ensure that we can operationalise this and intense rainfall. it's the biggest safely. storm to hit india's commercial capital since 1891. wales education minister kirsty tens of thousands of people williams outlining the proposal for have been evacuated all schools in wales to start their from western coastal areas. next phase of return on the the emergency services 29th of

come on, we are done. we are done. at the time, the owners of the bar said they would hire a new security firm that had undergone sensitivity training and partner with an organisation to better inform its staff. but attorney lisa bloom has filed a loss of public a complaint with trust and confidence. the labour leader criticises the licencing borisjohnson over his handling board in of the california. coronavirus pandemic. let's talk to her now, we are the prime minister tells sir keir starmer the country wants hoping to talk to jennifer and a united approach in let's talk to her now, we are hoping to talk tojennifer and khloe too, battling the virus and not but there are a few technical issues. thank you for talking to us, politicians arguing. i really do not see the purpose why have you taken this of his endless attacks on public case on? trust and confidence, because trans rights are important, when what we‘re eve ryo ne because trans rights are important, everyone has the right to sit in a trying to do, and i think what the public want to hear barand everyone has the right to sit in a bar and have a drink and from politicians across all parties, everyone has the right to sit in a barand have a drink and be everyone has the right to sit in a bar and have a drink and be peaceful and not be thrown out because of who is our clear messages about they are. we have filed the how first to defeat this

case of its kind, seeking to revoke the liquor license of this bar, virus. the prime minister's confusing because liquor licenses can be scrutiny for attacks. revoked when there is a i have supported the government openly and i've taken violation of criticism for it, but, public morals and those clauses have been used historically to shut boy, he makes it difficult to support this government. down 93v been used historically to shut down gay bars, to shut down lgbt clubs we‘ll be getting the latest live on the fallout from prime minister‘s and now we want to use that questions from westminster. same also this lunchtime: language to stand up for the rights defying a curfew. of trans women. but why should thousands demonstrate, mainly peacefully, across the us for an eighth night the following the death owner of the bar be held responsible of george floyd in for the actions of their security police custody. tea m for the actions of their security team and their customers, who back to school for the last few engaged in this trans phobic and weeks of the summer term. homophobic language. i'm going to schools in wales will begin mention, in a moment, some a limited return from 29thjune. of the insults that were directed at two weeks‘ quarantine. jennifer and khloe, iwant that‘s what the government wants insults that were directed at jennifer and khloe, i want to warn all travellers to face as they come people, they are offensive but i into the uk from think it is important to actually monday. use the specific language that and the zoom boom generation. the teleconferencing app makes a massive profit, as it benefits they used. but first of all, lisa, from the if you would answer my coronavirus lockdown. question. sure. so and in sport: the former what happened is my clients' manchester city and qpr defender lives we re nedum 0nuoha says he doesn‘t feel what happened is my clients' lives were threatened by this ugly trans— 100% safe in the united states, phobic language. they reported it to where he

the bar management and the security now plays. staff. the people were removed who we re staff. the people were removed who were threatening them, that is appropriate and then my clients were physically dragged out, not appropriate and blatantly illegal. the bar is responsible for what its management does, the bar is responsible for what its security tea m responsible for what its security team does, so, legally there is no question they are responsible for these actions. the two customers who insulted your clients used the following words. again, they are offensive, i think it is important to say what they are. they called your clients "men in dresses" and said they would "kill all faggots". how did that make your clients feel? so we have had a wave of anti—trans— violence here in the us. 40 people murdered last year, 20 already this year and especially trans women of colour, which is what my clients are. we have to take these threats

very seriously and that is why they reported it and why they had every right to stand up and be counted when they were the dictums of this kind of hate speech. a statement from the boss of the company says this... several patrons involved we re this... several patrons involved were removed. we want to operate as safe 5 pa ce were removed. we want to operate as safe space for all people, period. that didn't happen and we want to apologise to all of our guests, including the trans community, a community that has come to our bar as well as worked there. we are taking immediate steps to investigate what happened at the time and address each concern we have seen since then and they say they have hired new security staff. why isn't that enough? because this is not an apology specifically to our clients and they have resisted our clients and they have resisted our calls for education and training in diversity and tolerance. this was on pride day last year here in los angeles and it is not enough after

the fact, after a media outcry, to say, generally, we are sorry. they have to do more and they have to do better so that this kind of incident never happens again to anyone. do you think it is likely that you will win this case, that the department for alcoholic beverage control will ta ke for alcoholic beverage control will take the license away from the bar? ido take the license away from the bar? i do think so, we contacted them yesterday, they have received our complaint and yesterday, they have received our complaintand are yesterday, they have received our complaint and are following up. i don't know what is a worse violation of public morals than throwing out people who are victim of a hate crime. having watched the footage, i am puzzled that, your clients were insulted, why were they removed? has anybody sufficiently and said that? that is exactly the point. you just read the statement, we got rid of people on both sides, and this both sides — ism, isn't markedly it isn't. .. both sides — ism, isn't markedly it isn't... both sides did not do

something wrong. my clients were the victim of hate speech, they reported it, did the right thing and once the people were removed, they should not have been thrown out as well. are they going to be any prosecutions, do you know? yes, so my clients reported this to the police right away, good for them for doing that. the man in the male— female couple has been charged with making criminal threats, but that was many months ago and, so far, the prosecution has not moved forward. and the woman involved, who also made threats, she has not been charged, so a lot more needs to be done until we get justice charged, so a lot more needs to be done until we getjustice in this case and we intend to follow up and get it. we are hoping to get either jennifer or khloe on the phone, because zoom is failing us. if you win this case, what message will that send out? the message that it will send is that this is 2020 and,

no matter who you are, you have the right to patronise any business establishment. you have the right to walk down the street, you have the right to get anyjob you are qualified for and discrimination, harassment and threats against members of the lgbt community are wrong and we will follow up and we will fight back until we get justice. and if you lose? i'm sorry? and if you lose? we are not going to lose. thank you very much, lisa bloom. i have got khloe on the phone no. can you hear me 0k? bloom. i have got khloe on the phone no. can you hear me ok?” bloom. i have got khloe on the phone no. can you hear me ok? i can hear you find. thank you for talking to us, sorry about the zoom and all of the other attempts were made to talk to you. you were filming this, how did it make you film back delete feel? —— how did it make you feel? it was a very tough day

for everyone who was there at las perlas, but especially for me, because i was seeing all of my friends being thrown and put in choke holds and being dragged out of a bar and i was the last one that was pushed out through the door and the fact that i was able to see all of this, it was very hurtful, it was definitely very traumatising. why were you thrown out? there were two bar patrons who we re out? there were two bar patrons who were heavily drunk and they had begun calling slurs, because the groupi begun calling slurs, because the group i was with and myself, we were all part of the lgbtq community and they didn't like that we didn't fit in with the image that the bar had at the moment, and so they began

calling slurs and, of course, we tried to defend ourselves and they began to become more aggressive and we tried to stop anything happening to any other sand that is the security team and the whole re sta u ra nt security team and the whole restaurant personneljust security team and the whole restaurant personnel just came security team and the whole restaurant personneljust came in and they escorted them out without any force, but then they attacked us and they drag this out, only because we look different to everybody out there. so the security guards, you say, removed you because they thought you looked different? completely, yes. sorry to interrupt, in the statement from the boss of the company, he says members of the trans community go to this part regularly. he says employees of the company are trans— and work in the bar. i definitely did not see anybody there that was from the community. we definitely did not see

andl community. we definitely did not see and i have not... i did not see that that day but what i did see was the aggressiveness that the security team came to with us —— came with two as and when we begged with them to call the police, they refused and we we re to call the police, they refused and we were being yelled out across the patio that we were going to be killed, we were going to be shot by these two patrons and when we were begging the security team to protect us, they failed to do that. we have gotjennifer on the phone now, can you hear me 0k? yes, thanks for having me. i am sorry for the technical issues, it means we don't have that much time. i want to ask you, you were one of those, we are watching the footage now, who was physically removed by the staff. what was that like for you?m physically removed by the staff. what was that like for you? it was such an horrific experience, it was very degrading, dehumanising and, to be honest, i

don't think i don't think -- i be honest, i don't think i don't think —— i don't think i can ever get past the trauma. i still have a difficult time sometimes just talking about it. to this day, my life has been upside down. i think i lost my respect for people that are supposed to keep us safe. that obviously didn't happen that night. but, yes, it has been very, very shocking to say the least.” but, yes, it has been very, very shocking to say the least. i am grateful for you talking to us and, again, sorry for the technical problems but i'm glad we got to you in the end. jennifer and khloe, thank you and lisa bloom, thank you for your time. we have been talking about contact tracing. this from veronica, i heard the interview with your clinical contact tracer and i'm so frustrated, i have been trying to com plete frustrated, i have been trying to complete my training for two weeks

asa complete my training for two weeks as a tracer and no one can even give mea as a tracer and no one can even give me a password that gets me into the system. it suits me to work at home and with a nurse of 50 years experience, i have the isolation and wa nted experience, i have the isolation and wanted to help people but i wish i hadn't bothered now. i have been paid for the training i haven't been able to complete. thank you for your company, let's bring you the sorry, do you know what? i messed that up almost every single day. here is the weather with chris. hello, again, a much cooler and cloudier day today. yesterday, in the sunshine, we got temperatures widely into the mid 20s, peaking at 27 celsius and today is much cooler, temperatures running around ten degrees celsius lower. it is a cooler day, cloudier as well and this cloud you can see on the satellite picture is working its way southwards

and is rain—bearing cloud. the heaviest rain is working across northern england, particularly north—east england, and across wales. you could get 5—10 millimetres falling quite widely but around 15—30 over the high ground of the pennines. this rain is of course welcome rain, given that many of us saw barely a drop of rain last month. notice across more eastern areas, the rain very patchy and probably not amounting to too much. across scotland and northern ireland, the afternoon looking largely brighter with sunny spells and only isolated showers. it will feel cooler today and we have a fairly brisk north—to—north—easterly wind around as well. overnight, the rain does eventually move across the midlands into east anglia and south—east england, is a weakening feature so probably won't be huge amounts of rain falling but every little drop i'm sure is welcome for those gardeners out there. and across northern areas, it turns a bit cooler overnight, temperatures down to six or seven degrees. tomorrow, quite a bit of cloud but, broadly speaking, it is a

day of showers and bright spells. they will push southwards from scotland and northern ireland into england and wales. some of the heaviest probably across the midlands and eastern areas of england. temperatures ranging between 13 and 16 celsius. another showery day on friday with brisk winds but, this time, the showers look like they will really be quite heavy, particularly across scotland and across eastern areas of england. as i say, although they could be heavy with some thunder and hail mixed in, they will bring some welcome rain for some of you. then into the weekend, deep area of low pressure, bringing outbreaks of rain and also some strong winds, they could gust in excess of 60 miles per hour in the north—west, strong enough potentially to bring some trees down. the rain easing to showers as we head into sunday. that is your weather.

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. health—care 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. in london, the protest movement black lives matter will stage a demonstration in hyde park in london later today.

0ur reporter chi chi izundu has been asking what people living in the capital hope will change. this was sunday in central london. chanting: george floyd, george floyd! protests over the death of african—american george floyd, who was killed in minnesota, after a white police officer knelt on his neck, have occurred in cities around the uk. but this week there were more plans of protests in britain because the death of george floyd isjust one of the issues people in the black communities say they are angry over. the black british community feel they are fighting their own many battles with racism. i think that it's notjust a problem for black america, it's a problem 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 with it, like, and we have all experienced that somewhat everywhere, every country has this kind of racism. it 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 dear to people's hearts. i feel like we really have to beg 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, who say that the uk has its own issues, including how the police treat black people, the windrush scandal, the grenfell tower tragedy, and the number of key workers from black ethnic minorities backgrounds that have died as a result of fighting covid—19. white people have had privilege for centuries and black people are angry because nobody is listening to them, their voices are not being heard, the government are not listening, the white house is not listening. it is just fighting

for what is right, fighting for the right to live. no—one asks to be pushed to the back of the queue but black people were. new figures show ethnic minority groups in london were more likely to be given fines for alleged breaches of coronavirus lockdown laws than white people. people from asian, black, makes to other backgrounds, make up more than porta percent of the population. they account for 50% of the fight and arrest. black people make up more than 12% of the proposition, but received more than 26 saint of the fines. the metropolitan police said the reasons were complex and reflected a range of factors. the death of george floyd has forced people to reflect on the experiences of black and minority ethnic people in the united states —

but how does that experience compare with that of the same communities here in the uk? denise richards led the stephen lawrence fundraising campaign. thank you forjoining us. this even laurence campaign, everything that happened around that, sean a light on institutional racism in this country. —— the stephen laurence. what still needs to change? stephen laurence opened up the eyes and because the government to look at issues around racial injustice, and it did that to a certain extent. we have done that to a certain extent, we have moved on at the issues still remain. having things like social media etc has really highlighted that issues still remain in britain. when i look at the

issues in america, ifeel it, i have family there, and i get it. but i have to localise it, because that is out of myjurisdiction. the uk, our problems are still here, and w they are actually getting worse. what has happened with his potato situation in america, listening to conversations with young people, and curing that think they are saying, i am quite concerned of where the government actually stands, because i was very concerned that our foreign secretary did not say and offer lot in terms of the whole matter. he has been quiet about it. the young people are simmering, they are talking through their headphones things that are happening in the world and how it is making them feel. it is making me remember when alex haley's at my groups came out, i was alex haley's at my groups came out, iwasa alex haley's at my groups came out, i was a young person at the time, i remember all the anger, the issues,

the punch—ups that came out of the programme routes. imagine now when schools go back, if they are still taking these feelings, if we have not addressed the issues, what is going to happen? it is not something i believe should be a small conversation, it is great the bbc are having us on here, but don't let this be a one trick pony ride. it cannot end here. this is the start of something here and i hope that you do give others a platform to continue sharing. if boris isjohn -- if continue sharing. if boris isjohn —— if boris johnson continue sharing. if boris isjohn —— if borisjohnson is listening, we wa nt —— if borisjohnson is listening, we want you to sit around a table, we are tired of being on the menu, we need to be at the top table, because you are making decisions about us without actually coming to us. you are making decisions about us without actually coming to usm you are making decisions about us without actually coming to us. it is really highlighted how important it is to be awake and alert. just the phrase, black lives matter, when you ta ke phrase, black lives matter, when you take it at face value, you think, well, of course, every life

matters. but it reflects a community that feels their lives don't matter, that is something that needs to be paid attention to. yes, it definitely does. was quite interesting is that the black police association have put out a really strong statement which draws attention to the racial tensions we are grappling with here in the uk. they have really made it clear that the issues are behind the decades of structural and institutional racism and they use the word fodder, it has made as fodder, notjust the disproportionality in regards to the force that the police use, but also linking that to covid—19. so understanding what black lives matter means is a phrase, there is such deeper meaning to it, understanding what white privilege means, these are all conversations that many people will probably

find uncomfortable to have. but we have to have them, we have to have them. given as a platform, the lens now needs to be turned from looking to america, it needs to be turned into hours, the uk. we need to be looking at what is happening here in terms of race relations. it is a very serious matter. so what do we do? how do you start to unpick all of that history, the ingrained attitudes, the dormant attitudes, the stories behind the statistics? first of all being more transparent, giving people platforms, for example iam giving people platforms, for example i am based in derbyshire and the police recruitment, the last round, not have even a pca so that looked like me. there is an example. the police forces not representative of myself. —— pcs oh. looking at

pictures of the lh s executive, nobody who looks like me, making plans around my health needs. education, where are we in the government? let's look at local authority. i go to a local authority and see... sorry, i must interrupt you, we need to say goodbye to reviewers who are watching us around the world. we will be back with you ina the world. we will be back with you in a moment. —— goodbye to viewers. yes, just to pick up and what you we re yes, just to pick up and what you were saying, about changing attitudes. yes, the police, the government, local government, when you go into those places, you do not see people who look like you. looking at workforce statistics, like i have been for some local authorities, we are not represented in those areas. in terms of positions, salary, these are all things that i feel

i have to, as a parent, highlight and booze, because what i do get is constant, yes, we do know and we are looking at it, and if you sit around a table with ice, we are tired of the rhetoric. those days are over. i believe, even though this is such a sad situation with this gentleman losing his life at the way that he did, this is an opportunity for us, ourselves as black people, to say it is time we need to get this sorted out. do you believe this is effectively the me too moment for black lives matter? in the uk, yes, they're happy lots of conversations about covid—19, but we need to work on that, we deduce top speaking in our silos, the government does not take us seriously. i say this all the time. borisjohnson was a, there is just a few of them in bristol, northampton, derby, what we need to do is

pull ourselves together as a unit and then we can come to people, to the government, because at the moment we are not taken very seriously and that has to change. thank you very much indeed forjoining us. as of monday, almost anyone arriving in the uk will have to quarantine for 14 days. the government say it's important to keep the country safe from infected passengers. when asked why these measures are being brought in now, health minister edward argar said putting restrictions in sooner wouldn't have impacted the spread of the disease. 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 transition already in the uk, and it is prevalent within this country. and therefore putting restrictions at the border at that point, the medical advice was, would have virtually no impact on the spread of the disease. and we saw some countries

at that stage you had done it, and actually ended up with very, very high infection rates. —— who had. so the medical advice was that, at that point, when it was spreading so rapidly already within our community, it wouldn't have been affected. now we are getting that under control, now those numbers are being brought down, it's one of those measures, alongside test and trace and so on, that actually will help us control and contain the disease again in the future. and that's why, now come on the basis of the advice, we think this is the right time to bring forward the proposals the home secretary set out later today. meanwhile, countries from across the eu are sending contrasting messages about travel to and from the uk. spain's foreign minster said british coronavirus figures "still have to improve" before spain could receive tourists from the uk, while german's foreign minister says they do not advise travel to the uk while the quarantine system is in place. but in an interview with the bbc, portugal's foreign minister says british tourists will be "most welcome" this summer.

augusto santos silva confirmed that his government is talking to officials at the home office about securing what's known as an air bridge agreement between portugal and the uk so that, in the future, tourists returning from portugal might not have to self—isolate for two weeks. you are welcome. so you can visit places in portugal, you can spend your holidays in portugal, and if you used to spend holidays in portugal, you can come to us this summer. because we are preparing well to receive you with the most safest conditions. we are already contacting in order to see if the quarantine that was imposed by the uk until the end ofjune cannot be prolonged throughoutjuly or

august, because if it was prolonged, of course, the holidays of british people and portuguese people living in the united kingdom in portugal would be very severely damaged, put in question. so quarantine is an enemy of tourism. a clinical contract tracer has told us exclusively she's spent much of her time since the government's track and trace system went live watching netflix, because she hasn't been assigned a single case. the government's scheme began in england last thursday. the health secretary matt hancock says the scheme has been successful. figures disclosed last night for thursday to sunday suggest nearly 4,500 covid—19 cases were reported to test and trace during this time. of those, just over 1,800 had provided information about their

close contacts. the woman who we've been speaking to is a nurse, and has worked around 38 hours in total so far over several shifts earning £17.35 an hour. she says she hasn't made one call in that time and feels guilty for being paid to ‘sit idle'. we spoke to ‘becky‘ yesterday evening — it's not her real name because she asked to remain anonymous. it was on the downing street briefing on wednesday, led by matt hancock, when i found out that the system was going live on thursday morning. since the system's gone live, i've worked 38 hours as a contact tracer. i say "worked" — i've been available to work as a contact tracer since it went live and i'm yet, over 38 hours, to make a single phone call or be assigned a case. so you've worked 38 hours as a clinical contact tracer, on shift, since the system went live, and you haven't phoned anyone?

no, i've had no contact from anyone. i've had no contact from supervisors, i've literally been on the system, refreshed the system and entertained myself during that watching netflix. what are you watching? i've been watching the good place. i've returned back to season one, and now i'm halfway through season three. i've just watched it, alongside going back to the system, refreshing it, occasionally having to log back in because it's timed out. yeah, i've yet to have contact with anybody regarding contact tracing. so taxpayers are paying you to watch netflix? yes, and it's frustrating. do you feel guilty, just sitting there, refreshing your screen and watching netflix? i do, yeah, definitely. i've gone into nursing cos it's a vocation, and i've gone into this role with the intention of providing care for people

in whichever capacity i can. this contact tracing idea, which is working in other countries, like in germany it's quite effective, it's frustrating to know that i am sat idle when there are people that need contacting. i can't understand why we haven't had any contacts. it doesn't make any sense to me. what do you think of that? i think it's appalling, i think it's dishonest. and that is one of the fundamental concerns about this. we're trying to build a very large system that is trying to keep people in england safe, to try and prevent a second spike. i understand it is complex, and i understand there's going to be challenges, but from my perspective, as a citizen of england, i would prefer honesty. it's not ready yet — hold fire. you know, they've released aspects of lockdown,

which without track and trace, it is not safe to do so. not having a system up and running is obviously frustrating, but it's about people's lives. becky, thank you very much for talking to us. the department of health and social care told us in a statement: "the new nhs test and trace service is up and running and will help save lives. these claims do not reflect the huge amount of work already underway. anyone in this country can book a test and we have over 25,000 contact tracers in place to undertake this vital work'. have you been called by a contact tracer? let me know. well, victoria spoke about some of the concerns that have been expressed over contact tracing to anthony costello, who's professor of global health at university college london, and a former director at the world health organization.

he also helped set up the independent sage, which is a group of scientists who question the uk government's response to the pandemic. there should be 8,000 according to the office for national statistics, so over that period, there should have been 24,000. 0k, some were asymptomatic. but it means that the system is not picking up more than maybe 30% of cases and is missing probably at least two thirds of contacts, and that is why your nurse has not had any calls. my big worry about this, it is clearly not fit for purpose yet. the worrying thing is can it ever be fit for purpose and why was it set up like this? you need speed and you need trust. it should be local, it should be integrated with gps and public health, it should be sustainable. why did they not set up one test, trace and isolate hub for every 30,000 population, in every primary care

network? gps would have been there to reassure you if you're a case, monitor you and notify you about your underlying conditions and follow—up. that was the obvious thing to do, they could set up tests and get results within 24 hours. that is not happening with this separate commercial system, and i don't think it is going to work with the contact tracing. there are a couple of issues, certainly from viewers 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.

also the very important desire to get tourist to support the economy. we will be talking about that more oily bbc news channel. right now we will say goodbye if you are watching on bbc world. see you very soon. goodbye. we are hoping to bring you a weather update on mmatt. the clouds have started to come in. the clouds have started to come in. the most sunny spring on record. we have had lots of lovely weather. let's see what will be happening in the coming days stop at think we can hear now from chris. we're looking at a cloudier today. we had temperatures yesterday widely into the mid 20s, peaking at 21, today much cooler with

temperatures running about 10 celsius lower. it isa running about 10 celsius lower. it is a cooler day, cloudier. this cloud on the satellite picture working its way southwards is rain bearing clouds. the heaviest rain is working across northern england, particularly the north—east, and across wales. could get around 5—10 millimetres, but may be around 1530 over the high ground of the pennines. ——15—30. many of us saw barely a drop of rain last month. across more eastern area, the rain patchy and probably not amounting to two march. scotland and northern ireland, largely bright afternoon with sunny spells, isolated showers. it will feel cooler today, a fairly brisk north to north—easterly wind. overnight, rain moving across the midlands into east anglia, south—east england. as a weakening feature. there probably will not be huge amount of rain, but every little drop it's huge amount of rain, but every little drop its welcome for those

gardeners out there. across northern areas, a bit cooler overnight, attempt is down to 607 celsius. tomorrow, quite a bit of cloud, broadly speaking it is a day of bright spells and showers. the showers getting going in the afternoon, pushing their way southwards from scotland and northern ireland into england and wales. some of the heaviest across the midlands and eastern areas of england. temperatures ranging between 13 and 16 celsius. another showery day on friday with brisk wind, but this time showers look like they will be quite heavy, particularly across scotland and eastern areas of england. these showers, although they could be heavy with thunder and hail, will bring some welcome falls of rain for some of you, tempt is 13—16dc. the weekend, a deep area of low pressure, this will bring widespread out rates of rain, and also some strong wind that could gust in excess of 60 mph in the

west, bringing some trees down, rain easing to showers as we had only two sunday. that is your weather. this —— in the north—west.

hello. this is bbc news. the headlines... tens of thousands defy curfews to take part in mostly peaceful protests in cities across the united states, following the killing of george floyd. his family spoke of their heartache, afterjoining protesters in his home city of houston in texas. he will never see them grow up, graduate, he will never walk down the aisle. a clinical contact tracer tells us she's spent much of her time since the uk government's track and trace system went live last week watching netflix because she hasn't been assigned a single case. uk home secretary priti patel will tell mps that new travel quarantine rules are necessary to avoid a "second wave" of the coronavirus. portugal's foreign minister says he wants to avoid restrictions by establishing an "air bridge" between his country and the uk. but the german foreign minister

says his country would advise against non—essential travel to britain if 14—day quarantine rules remain in place beyond the 15th ofjune. let us get more on those figures that show ethnic minority groups in london have been more likely receive fines for breaches of lockdown rules. we can speak now to our home affairs correspondent danny shaw. these are figures from scotland yard, the metropolitan police, the biggest police force in the uk, and are significant because these are police data that have been carefully analysed. what they show is that between the end of march when the lockdown came into effect on may the 14th, that is a period of four weeks, 27% of all those find in the met, well over 900

people signed in total, 26%, 253 fines imposed on people classing themselves as black. in london, the population of black people is about 12%, so 26% of fines for 12% of the population. in terms of asian people, it was almost 23% of asian people, it was almost 23% of fines. asian people in london's population is around 18%. there is clear disproportion in that they are. in terms of people arrested for are. in terms of people arrested for a covid—19 related offences or other offences where there is a suspicion they breached coverage on mac regulations, black people made up 31% of all arrests, again 12% black people make up in london's population. so what are the reasons behind this? what is being said about the reasons behind this? the metropolitan police have said the reasons behind this are complex and reflect a range of factors.

they have said this includes interactions between the areas subject to significant proactive policing activity targeting crime hotspots. in other words, in the areas where a lot of these fines have been imposed, there is a lot of police activity because there are known crime hotspots. they also say it reflects the variation in the age profile and geographical distribution of ethnic groups in london, so it may well be, we know for example that younger people and men in particular aged 18— to mid—30s are more likely to be fined. if proportionally more of those are from ethnic naughty backgrounds, then among older people, then it is likely that will be reflected in the figures, but. —— ethnic minority. it is not surprising in anyway because we know example that black people are more likely to be stopped and searched than white people and more likely to be arrested. in fact, throughout the criminal justice

system, ethnic minority groups are disproportionately represented, and i suppose these figures are simply a reflection of that. these figures come out in the aftermath of the killing of george floyd in the united states, and the reaction there has been notjust their but here as well. they are being looked at through that prism. how much is going to change or is changing in terms of the way people are going to be looking at these things now and discussing them and working out what the actual story is behind it and how to address that?” the actual story is behind it and how to address that? i think what has happened in america has focused attention on policing in the uk, a very different approach, policing by consent, but it has focused attention on that, and people will be looking at the example of force against ethnic minority groups, looking at arrested data and looking at data for fines and asking why there is disproportion, does it reflect bias or prejudice in the system or does something need to

change in the policing model in the uk? and the make up of police in the uk? and the make up of police in the uk where the large majority of police officers are still white, even though huge attempts have been made to increase diversity in the workforce. thank you very much. health and safety inspectors have been called into a group of care homes in sheffield where two workers lost theirjobs after confrontations over covid safety. 0ne agency worker says she lost all her shifts after an argument over wearing a mask. another worker was dismissed after insisting an underlying health condition meant she could not care for a resident. staff also claimed masks were ‘rationed'. the company which operates the home, horizon care, denies the allegations, and says all correct procedures and infection controls were and are in place. corinne wheatley has this exclusive report.

it felt like every time you go to work, you've got a dead body. like for seven to ten days one time. they are people we've looked after for years. they are like our family. you know, you do everything for them. these are the words of a carer looking after some of our most vulnerable, but some staff at a group of care homes in sheffield say they have been working in fear and frustration. ten residents at woodhill lodge and woodhill grange have died after contracting coronavirus. a further four deaths were suspected covid cases. ten current and former workers have spoken to the bbc about their concerns around ppe. they say that masks were effectively rationed in two of the homes. we were allowed one mask per shift unless it breaks or get soiled, and then we are allowed another one. we were told they were only effective for up to eight hours. 0ur shifts are 12 hours. horizon care, which runs the home, says it is always followed public health england guidance on the use of ppe and there has always been enough available, but two carers have told the bbc that they left their homes

after disputes with wear one. management about covid safety. 0ne agency worker says she left at the end of march after she tried to insist on wearing her own mask and says she was told not to wear one. later, a staff member was suspended after refusing to care for a man she suspected had coronavirus, despite having a letterfrom her gp explaining that she is diabetic and at increased risk, she was sacked. horizon care says they followed all the correct procedure with regards to the two workers and claims that there were not symptoms in the homes at the time of the dispute. the union representing some staff at the homes were so concerned he reported to the issues to the health and safety executive at the beginning of may. i don't think that the care home setting has ever been set up to deal with a crisis of this nature. so it's true that there wasn't the adequate advice there quickly enough. however, you have to look at these homes in particular and say something seriously went wrong in terms of the internal management here. the care home operator

said in a statement... the local clinical commissioning group in sheffield city council says they are supporting the care homes to improve the standard of care they provide. but some staff have told us they still believe the company should have taken stronger action sooner to stop the spread of the virus. if we would have been wearing masks from the beginning of march, if we had worn the full ppe and all precautions had been taken, then i feel some lives would have been saved. 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 measures however does not apply to visitors who started theirjourney to italy from outside europe. the move is an attempt to salvage italy's summer tourism season. the country has recorded 230,000 coronavirus infections and 33,000 deaths with covid—19. let's talk to two people who are hoping to get their day—to—day lives back on track. cristiano collari lives in milan but his office is in turin — and until now he's needed special permission to get there. simone galeotti is a student who usually lives in milan but has been staying with his parents in modena in throughout the lockdown. welcome to both of you, thank you for joining welcome to both of you, thank you forjoining us. welcome to both of you, thank you for joining us. cristiano, welcome to both of you, thank you forjoining us. cristiano, tell us how much lockdown has impacted on your ability to do business and what things are going to be like now for you? it has stopped for at least two months and started again in the last

two weeks or three weeks. we now can finally from today onwards move regionally, so i can go back to terrain since i moved from milan to terrain since i moved from milan to terrain every second day. business looks like it is going to be from now on back on track. do you feel safe to do that? well, i myself have had coronavirus, so i suppose i am safe, but we are wearing the masks and the trains have set a few new regulations so there are controls at the entrance when you arrive to the destination. daytime schedule of the trains are much smaller, there are very few trains that still run. cristiano, no,

sorry, simoni, simone you have been living with your pa rents. you have been living with your parents. you're normally a student in milan. what is happening with you now? right now! am in milan. what is happening with you now? right now i am still here, in milan. what is happening with you now? right now! am still here, but i think now? right now! am still here, but ithinkl now? right now! am still here, but i think i will be getting back soon to milan. my quarantine was very ha rd to milan. my quarantine was very hard because being stuck for such a long time in the house was not easy, but right now, ijust think that time has changed and people are trying to get back to their normal lives, so i think we will be back soon to milan. i am also planning some summer trips soon to milan. i am also planning some summertrips in soon to milan. i am also planning some summer trips in some areas in the northern part of italy. do you feel like your life is going to get back to what it was before then, pretty much? not really, because i think that ijust

see people take really good care of their health, so it seems the situation has changed. everyone is probably wearing masks, and when you get into the restaurant, they ask you to use hand sanitiser, so it seems everything has changed, but meanwhile it seems that, you know, everyone is trying to go back to their normal life. cristiano, you mentioned that you had covid—19, so presumably that gives you immunity. we are not clear how long that might last or what that means, but do you feel... is the kind of a sense there is going to bea the kind of a sense there is going to be a bit of ad to tear thing going forward with people who have had it and therefore might feel safe and more free and easy? you shaking your head, why not? we are treated treated equally, you are supposed to pay attention to

everyone else, because no one in the street would know you have had it and you are probably know you have had it and you are pro ba bly less know you have had it and you are probably less aggressive virus wise. the rules apply for everyone whether you had it or not. economically for you, what impact has it had on your business? quite a bit because we didn't work, as i say, for two months at least. i work for an auction house, and the auction business has stopped almost altogether. but a few online sales that worked very well, but the amount of sales we did is definitely much smaller than the usual whidbey, and everything has been postponed to the next season, so after summer. simone, you described the difficulty of going back to living at home after your freedom as a student in milan. what else have you really missed during this lockdown of your normal life? i

think meeting friends and relatives, because during the lockdown, you could see people via webcam but you know that they are probably feeling alone or it just they feel sick, so you cannot help them or be there, so i really missed meeting friends and relatives. wishing you both the best with getting back to some sort of normality. thank you forjoining us. the headlines on bbc news... tens of thousands defy cu rfews to take part in mostly peaceful protests in cities across the united states, following the killing of george floyd — while in texas, his family join protesters. a clinical contact tracer tells us she's spent much of her time since the uk government's track and trace system went live last week watching netflix, because she hasn't been assigned a single case... uk home secretary priti patel will tell mps that new travel

quarantine rules are necessary to avoid a "second wave" of the coronavirus. portugal's foreign minister says he wants to avoid restrictions by establishing an "air bridge" between his country and the uk. but the german foreign minister says his country would advise against non—essential travel to britain if 14—day quarantine rules remain in place beyond the 15th ofjune. students in the uk might be forced to live and study in the same small group when university campuses re—open in the autumn. university leaders are setting out proposals for a socially distanced student life — including virtual freshers' weeks. 0ur education correspondent, danjohnson, has spent the morning at the university of leicester. there are so many questions about what university life is going to look like, and how much students will be able to actually be on campuses like this. this is the library of the university of leicester. there would normally be

15,000 students on campus, hundreds would be coming in and out of here everyday. this is the sort of place where they have got to work out what the reality of social distancing is. just imagine people going back and forth through those turnstiles. how is that all going to work? these are questions for the boss here, nishan, and it is yourfirst day back campus yourself. it is. i haven't been to the campus since the 23rd of march, and it is great to be back, although it will be lovely to have the students here as well. yeah, how are you going to do that? what is the reality going to be like? we are at the moment planning for managing social distancing. but also we are launching a new flexible model of learning which we call ignite, so it is more classes can be face—to—face, up to about 15, but large classes, we will offer that virtually online. i think this is a good way of managing the social distancing guidelines but also giving the students the experience of university. what about coming and living on university campuses? is that actually going to be possible? it is.

i think we will have to make sure we create social bubbles, a cohort of students who are living together but also coming to the university for their education. as a result, we have revised our accommodation package and made it more flexible. instead of an annual contract which we would normally do, we are offering a really student friendly package which is weekly, monthly or term—ly, and i think that will be very welcome by the students. and what about the social side of student life? because freshers' week, all the nightlife. that is going to be difficult. it is, but i think the students understand it because that is what they have been going through for the last few months, so they are also very concerned about the health and well—being of themselves. so they understand for a short period of time, they have to maintain social distancing, is of some of that will not be available, but we are providing some of the introductory sessions of freshers' week virtually so they are going to feel... and we also are asking senior students in second and third year to act as peer mentors so they can give them an insight on how to transition to university when their time is right. we hear lots of students are considering deferring,

giving themselves a bit more time, another year to see how things play out. can you understand that? i can understand it, but as i said, we are doing everything we can to give them a very high quality experience. but i also think the country needs the doctors, nurses and engineers, and we cannot not produce them in three or four years' time, so i think it is important to do our part to maintain that pipeline of skilled people coming out. in that sense, i hope a lot of them will continue to come to the university. we are doing everything we can to give them a very high quality experience, and i am sure they will enjoy that experience. 0k, thank you very much. there are some big questions, lots of detail to be added before the start of the next term. some big decisions for students to make, possibly life defining decisions they are facing, at such a difficult time of so much uncertainty. that is absolutely true for a lot of these students hoping to go to university for the first time. scientists here have begun a trial to see if ibuprofen can help hospital patients who have contracted coronavirus. the trial by london's guy's

and st thomas hospital and king's college will assess weather the anti—inflammatory and painkiller could treat breathing difficulties. joining me now is the director of the kings college london centre for innovated therapeutics, mitul mehta. thank you very much forjoining us. my thank you very much forjoining us. my first thought on reading this was that there is all that stuff a while ago, weeks ago, that actually i do both and should not be taken by people with covid—19, so tell us what you are looking at now with the study. so it feels like quite a long time ago that that was in the news as well, but we have to remember that since those earlier reports came out of potential risks with either both and which was theoretical risks, of course, and people can have genuine concerns based on that. the world health organization, the union european medicine agency and the uk commission on medicine have

come out with clear statements that there is no evidence to support these concerns, and what we really need of course is a trial to understand if the benefits actually can be realised in the patient‘s and help accelerate recovery. what do you think the benefits might be? so we have a unique formulation of ib both in. this is not the standard ib proven that people will be familiar with. this is a unique formulation that expects the dissipation in the body, helps the immune system and what we think is it will reduce the inflammation in the lungs associated with acute respiratory distress symptom, one of the symptoms in covid—19 which pits people in hospital. if we can reduce that respiratory distress, we might also be reducing people regressing into intensive care units as well. thereby, enhancing recovery. how much do we now know about covid—19?

when you talk to their about using a unique formulation of ibuprofen, to help deal with of this disease, it underlines the fact there are so many different factors of this disease that do make it unprecedented really in terms of treating. it emerged yesterday they are looking at there being a disease of the lining of the blood vessels. so many different elements. exactly. also ibuprofen does thin the blood as well, but we do not know if that isa as well, but we do not know if that is a beneficial feature or not. it might bea is a beneficial feature or not. it might be a good feature, but you're quite right. as we understand more, we can understand the variety potential treatment options that can go up. if we can try different options, that is a good thing, and we increase the chances that people can we increase the chances that people ca n recover we increase the chances that people can recover from this terrible disease. what we are looking at with this formulation of ibuprofen is one specific option. really, aimed at people in mid—disease, so people who

are not suffering at home, they are in hospital but not in the icy you as well. does it mean that with each individual patient, you are looking at their different symptoms specifically, because we know that same thing can affect people in very different ways. —— icu. we are. we are looking at specific symptoms for entry into this study, and the symptoms we are talking about are not unique to covid—19. this could potentially benefit patients who are regularly going into hospital with breathing difficulties associated with other, viral pneumonia is for example. another thing worth pointing out is this is a very straightforward treatment. this is an oral capsule that we understand very well. so if it is successful, andi very well. so if it is successful, and i stress we do need the trial to know that, then the potential for this to benefit people, not only in this to benefit people, not only in this country but also in lower and middle income countries, it has not escaped us as well, so we certainly

wa nt to escaped us as well, so we certainly want to be looking into that as well. time is of the essence, so briefly, how quickly do you think we will know whether it is delivering the results you want? magnet good question, because we are u nfortu nately question, because we are unfortunately in a situation where the cases are declining in this country and declining in london where we are running the study as well, so we are just going to have to review it after we have seen a handful of patients, a few dozen patients, and then we are going to look at the feasibility and whether we have to expand. we are keen to finish the study. thank you for joining us, and we would love this picture again when you have more evidence of how it is going. the labour leader, sir keir starmer, has accused borisjohnson of ‘winging it‘ over plans to ease lockdown, and suggests he needs to ‘get a grip‘ on the crisis or risk a second wave of coronavirus infections in the uk. speaking to the guardian he also

accuses the prime minister of causing a collapse in public confidence, in part due to the dominic cummings row, and said no 10 will be directly responsible if infection rates begin to rise. he‘d previously been wary of criticising the government directly, but now says... he also reaffirmed his belief that the misnagemrnt —— mismanagement. of the coronavirus over the last few weeks is the responbilisty —— responsibility of the government. and said he is "putting the pm on notice that he has got to get a grip and restore public confidence in the government". a downing street spokesperson said "now is the time to look to the future and not the past, as we continue to fight this virus while taking cautious steps to ease restrictions. the pm looks forward to hearing any concrete proposals labour has to offer" it‘s nearly time for prime minister‘s questions — our assistant political editor norman smith is in westminster for us.

these encounters between keir starmer and boris johnson are eagerly anticipated because they have been good so far, but there has been a couple of weeks since we had one. this is the first since dominic cummings. now this is the first in recent times where there will be no virtual questions after that elongated queueing decision by mps last night to insist mps have to in future be in the chamber if they wa nt to future be in the chamber if they want to vote at ask questions, so people asking questions at this prime minister‘s questions will have to be in the chamber. in terms of what we can expect, i will think that sir keir starmer will want to follow u p that sir keir starmer will want to follow up in that interview in the guardian, which is a noticeable hardening on his previous criticism over coronavirus, because in the past, there has been criticism that it has been a fairly restrained, clinical, analytical criticism. now sir keir starmer is threatening to make it much more personal and to suggest that if there is an upsurge in the virus of the infection and it sta rts in the virus of the infection and it starts to spread, if there are more deaths as a result of the easing of the lockdown, then that will be

the responsibility of borisjohnson. he will be to blame because of what sir keir starmer believes is the mismanagement of the past few weeks, particularly pointing to the rushing out of test and trace. we have very little detail about what is happening there, we have anecdotal evidence, that not much seems to be happening. sir keir starmer also believes the shielding process has ended very quickly without any particular new scientific advice, but his main criticism i think rests on the dominic cummings as i get, in his view that whereas johnson has shattered trust in the government and the willingness of people to go along with instructions and advice of the government because of this saga. for that reason, of the government because of this saga. forthat reason, he of the government because of this saga. for that reason, he is now seeking to ensure that if things do go wrong with the lockdown, blame is apportioned to boris johnson, because more broadly there is a view

in his team that mrjohnson is very good at rising above the criticism as if it is nothing to do with him. to hide behind the scientists or to say he regrets what is happening in ca re say he regrets what is happening in care homes without actually taking responsibility for it. sir keir starmer wants to make sure blame sticks with borisjohnson. thank you very much. that is a few minutes away. right now, let us catch up with the weather. good afternoon. change of month, change of the weather. what a difference the day makes. let‘s take a look at tuesday. some clyde in scotland, but the majority have blue sky and heat, which is the dominant feature. that cloud has pushed south. some brighter skies behind, but dusty winds and underneath the majority of the clouds, we have rain. welcome reynet you may be shouting, but it is putting its way further south and east, and it is going

to weaken. with the change in the direction of cloud and rain, temperatures are 10 degrees less than they were yesterday. we really will notice the difference with the feel of the weather over the coming days. that rain will push into the east anglia and the south—east. it will bring a little bit of light rain to quench the thirst of the gardens, but nowhere near enough, and behind it we keep the cloud throughout the night. temperatures will hold up, sitting at around 6—12d, so starting ona sitting at around 6—12d, so starting on a grey note tomorrow. as we go through the day tomorrow, the clouds should break and allow for sunny spells and a scattering of shoppers. lighter reigns, coming from a northerly direction, so a cooler source. temperatures struggling. we will perhaps be peaking tomorrow afternoon at 9—18d. into thursday and friday, showers will appear, heavy and widespread, merging together for longer spells of rain. almost anywhere could catch a shower, perhaps in a

dry spot through wales and south—west england. heavy and persistent rain in the north—east later on, temperatures are still subdued in comparison. you have to factor in the wind strength which will be speaking up as we go through the day on friday, particularly to the far north—west, and as we go through friday night and into the start of the weekend, across the northwest half of the uk, we could see gales, gusts perhaps of around 60 mph, and with trees in full leaf now, that could have an impact. low pressure with us for the weekend, a real contrast to last weekend. it is going to stay blustery at times with plenty of sharp showers and a noticeable difference to the feel of the weather. all due to the direction of the wind. that is it, ta ke direction of the wind. that is it, take care.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. tens of thousands defy curfews to take part in mostly peaceful protests in cities across the united states, following the killing of george floyd. his family spoke of their heartache, afterjoining protesters in his home city of houston in texas. global organisation black lives matter will stage a protest in london‘s hyde park this lunchtime. the home secretary is to tell parliament that new travel quarantine rules are necessary to avoid a "second wave" of the coronavirus, while portugal‘s foreign minister says he wants to avoid restrictions by establishing an "air bridge" between his country

and the uk. in the uk, the labour leader sir keir starmer says prime minister borisjohnson needs to "get a grip" and restore public confidence in ministers‘ handling of the pandemic. it‘s time for prime minister‘s questions. a virtual event to raise at least $7.4 billion for the vaccine alliance. tomorrow‘s summit should be the moment when the world comes together to unite humanity in the fight against disease. this morning i had meetings with ministerial collea g u es i had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others in addition to my duties in the house. i shall have further such meetings

later today. as the real scandal of the coronavirus pandemic has been exposed, inequality or poverty. if you‘re asian or have a lowjob, the mortality risk is more than double the dark rest of the population. now the dark rest of the population. now the government is seriously increasing that exposure and risk with its easement announcements. why won‘t the prime minister publish a full health and economic risk assessment for public scrutiny to protectors all from this deadly virus? i thank the honourable lady for this question. the government commissioned a review from public health england and we its finding seriously. there are inequalities in the way that the virus impact on different people, different communities in our country and my right honourable friend the minister for equalities, will

be looking at what next practical steps we need to do to protect all our country from coronavirus. over the past few weeks, black hole has been inundated with visitors and images of people not social distancing leaving our beach strain with letter have angered my constituents at a time when they are doing the right thing and following the government‘s advice. the fact that blackpool has one of the highest local infection rates on site and these fears. what assistance is government providing to areas such as blackpool to deal with the influx of visitors at a time when local services are already under pressure. in addition to the 3.2 billion we have already given to local councils to help combat

coronavirus, black hole is receiving another £9 million in particular as well as the funding to deal with the particular problems that he identifies —— blackpool. particular problems that he identifies -- blackpool. the leader of the opposition, sir kier starmer. cani of the opposition, sir kier starmer. can i start with expressing shock and horror with the death of george floyd. i am surprised the prime minister has not said anything about this yet but i do hope that the next time he speaks to president rob hugh woken vita him the uk‘s and byron‘s to the events. —— —— president trump, he will convey to him. an obvious question for the prime minister, who has been in direct control up until now? mr speaker, let me begin by associating myself

absolutely with what the right honourable gentleman had to say about the death of george floyd. i think that what happened in the united states was appalling, it was inexcusable, we also on our screens. and i understand people‘s right to protest what took place there. obviously i believe that protest should take place in a lawful and reasonable way. on his... more polemical point, let me just say that this government, i take full responsibility this government has been doing in tackling coronavirus andi been doing in tackling coronavirus and i am proud of our record. if you look at what we have achieved so far, it is very considerable. we have protected the nhs, we have driven down the death rate, we are now seeing far fewer

hospital in missions, and i believe, i believe that the public understand that with good british common sense, we will continue to defeat this virus and ta ke continue to defeat this virus and take this country forward. i think what the country would like to hear from him is more signs of cooperation in that endeavour. mr speaker, he asked for a sign of cooperation, a fair challenge. i wrote to him in confidence a few weeks ago to ask if i could help build a consensus for getting children back into our schools. i did it confidentially and privately because i did not want to make a big deal of it, he has not replied. this isa deal of it, he has not replied. this is a critical week in a response to covid—19. whereas lockdown it stay—at—home were relatively easy messages, easing restrictions on valves difficultjudgment calls so this is the week that of all weeks when public trust and confidence in

the government needed to be at its highest. but as their director of the reuters institute which commissioned a poll this weekend said, i have never seen in ten years of research, seen a drop in trust like we have seen for the uk government. how worried as the prime minister about this loss of trust?” am surprised he should take that town since i took the trouble to ring him up and we had a long conversation in which i braved the right honourable gentleman about all the steps that we were taking. he thoroughly endorsed our approach and i believe he should continue to endorse it today. i think that he is on better ground and firmer ground when he stands with the overwhelming majority of the british people who understand the very difficult circumstances that we are

in. toward clarity from across the political spectrum that they believe we can move forward provided we continue to observe the basic rules and social distancing, on washing our hands and on making sure that when we have symptoms, when we have symptoms, we ta ke symptoms, when we have symptoms, we take a test and we isolate. i think eve ryo ne take a test and we isolate. i think everyone understands that. that is why the disease instances is coming down and i think his attempts to distract the public from that have not been successful because they continue to pay attention to our guidance. mr speaker, the prime minister challenges me on the offer i made them. this was a confidential letter and i think the best thing i can do that is to put that into the public domain and they can decide how constructive we have been. two weeks today at the dispatch box, the prime minister promised that we

would have test track entries operation that would be world beating and it would be in place by the 1st ofjune. beating and it would be in place by the 1st of june. but beating and it would be in place by the 1st ofjune. but it is not. and a critical element, the ability of local authorities to respond to local authorities to respond to local spikes is missing. as one council leader put it to us, we are weeks away from having this fully up and running. we simply weren‘t given enough warning. the prime minister matters it is not true. the prime minister‘s on chair of the track and trace minister‘s on chair of the track and tra ce syste m minister‘s on chair of the track and trace system has said this element will not be ready until the end of june. the prime minister must have been briefed of this problem before he made that promise two weeks ago. so why did he make that promise? mr speaker, i am afraid he has been casting aspersions on the efforts of tens of thousands of people who have set our pack test, track and trace

system set our pack test, track and trace syste m fro m set our pack test, track and trace system from a standing start. we now have 40,000 people engaged in this. thousands of people have been tested as he knows every day. every person who test positive in this country in the track and trace system is contacted. then thousands of their contacts contacted. then thousands of their co nta cts of contacted. then thousands of their contacts of themselves are contacted, people they have been in contacted, people they have been in contact with. i can tell the house at the moment as a result of our system which was up and running on the 1st ofjune, as i said, mr speaker, contrary to what he said, asa speaker, contrary to what he said, as a result of their efforts, thousands of people are now following our guidance, following the lock and self isolating to stop the lock and self isolating to stop the spread of the disease. mr speaker, i welcome that news from the prime minister. he did not put a number on those that are being traced. but as he knows the number of people testing positive for covid—19 every day is only a

fraction of f anybody infected every day. the number infected every day is between 7000 and 9000. assuming five contacts need to be contacted for every person infected, the system would have to contact at least 45,000 people a day. the problem when he uses statistics, the authority have had concerns on more than one occasion. yesterday in a strongly worded letter to the health, the chair of the uk statistics authority said the statistics still fall short of expectations. he went on to say it is not surprising that given their inadequacy, data on testing are so widely criticised and so often mistrusted. can the prime minister see how damaging this is to public trust and confidence in his government? i must say to the... i

really do not see the purpose of his endless attacks on public trust and confidence when what we are trying to do, and i think what the public wa nt to to do, and i think what the public want to hear from to do, and i think what the public want to hearfrom politicians to do, and i think what the public want to hear from politicians across all parties, is our clear messages about how to defeat this virus. test entries is a vital tool in their armoury. contrary to what he says, actually be dead by the end of may get up to 100,000 tests a day. and we got up to 200,000 by the beginning of this month. that was an astonishing achievement, not by government, but by tens of thousands of people working to support government. i think he should pay tribute to them and what they have achieved. the prime minister is confusing scrutiny for attacks. i have supported the government openly andi have supported the government openly and i have taken criticism for it. but he makes it difficult to spot this government over the past two weeks. another critical issue

on trust and confidence is transparency about decision making. 0n the 10th of may, the prime minister said on the question of lifting restrictions, if the alert level won‘t allow it, we will simply wait and go on until we have got it right. at the time when he said that the alert level was four. and the rate was between 0.5 and 0.9. we are now three weeks on, some restrictions have been lifted. so can the prime minister tell us what is the alert level now and what is the are rate? he knows partly level that the alert level does allow it andindeed that the alert level does allow it and indeed he didn‘t raise that issue with me when we had a conversation on the telephone. and he knows the reason we have been able to make progress we have is that the five tests have been fulfilled. so yes the alert level remains at four, as we have confirmed, we have

managed to protect the nhs, we have got the 02:14:06,575 --> 357913843:59:03,636 infection 357913843:59:03,636 --> 715827685:44:00,696 rate 715827685:44:00,696 --> 1073741527:28:57,757 and, 1073741527:28:57,757 --> 1431655369:13:54,817 the 1431655369:13:54,817 --> 1789569210:58:51,878 ppe, 1789569210:58:51,878 --> 2147483052:43:48,938 the 2147483052:43:48,940 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 question
