china warns britain not to interfere in its plans to impose tough national security laws in hong kong. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world — and stay with us for the latest news and analysis from here and across the globe. we start in the us where all four police officers who were present when george floyd was arrested in the city of minneapolis are now facing charges in connection with his death. derek chauvin, the officer who was filmed kneeling on his neck, has had his charge elevated to second degree murder. barbara plett usher reports from minneapolis . for the past week protesters have been demanding justice for george

floyd, tougher action against the police officers who arrested him. there has been frustration, sadness and pain. but today finally some news. the very fact that we have failed these charges means we believe in them but what i do not believe is that one successful prosecution can rectify the hurt and loss that so many people feel. the solution to that pain will be slow and difficult work of constructing justice and fairness in our society. these are the four officers who arrested george floyd to ponder the one who pinned him to the ground with the knee to the neck what he struggled to breathe was charged but not the others who are now formally accused of playing a role in his death. today, the family returned to the memorial on the street corner where mr floyd took his last breath. speedy through their lawyer, they have been calling for the authorities to carry out a thorough investigation into the actions of

the police force. we cannot have two justice systems in america, one black america and one for white america. we must have equaljustice for the united states of america. protests that began on the streets of minneapolis are spread across the country. in demonstrations not seen since the civil rights unrest of the 19605. hundreds of thousands of people marched, defying cu rfews, clashing with the police, chanting, "i can't breathe" and black lives matter. the table brought a threat from the president to deploy that military, is an aria that so alarmed the defence secretary he publicly opposed it. that option should only be used as a matter of last resort and only in the most urgent and dire of situations. we are not in one of those situations now. i do not support invoking the insurrection act.

the mother of george floyd's six—year—old daughter said he had been a good father who provided for them. he will never see her grow up, graduate, he will never walk her down the aisle. for charges announced today it may bring justice for mr floyd but they will not be enough to quell the demands for a radical reform of the way america polices black people. this feels different from previous protests against police brutality. it has galvanised more people across more divides than ever before, a movement against racial injustice that will not be easily silenced. the attorney general said the justice system had failed to investigate and bring to justice these kinds of cases in minnesota and across the country. which is an extraordinary statement. now that the charges have been laid people will be watching very carefully to see how the prosecution plays out,

but also what happens on the street. whether cases of excessive police force against black people continue and how they are handled. george floyd's name is the latest in a long list of black americans to die as a result of police brutality over many decades. clive myrie now looks at how a toxic mix of racism and bad policing, has led to the most serious racial unrest in the us, for many years. his report contains images you may find disturbing. america's original sin perpetuates. the notion of the supremacy of whiteness over blackness as enshrined in slavery. where the negroes have come up against a determined white resistance, fighting has often broken out. it helps underpin the brutality of some in the police. it helps underpin the poverty

of the inner city. and it fundamentally underpins the racial inequality of a land... ..where all are meant to be equal. i have been reporting from the united states for almost a quarter of a century. it a generous nation but, for some, the original sin is still a rule to live by, as slavery morphed into segregation and civil war battle flags became the proud emblems of identity. hail, hail, state police! perhaps inevitably, the institution charged for centuries with enforcing discrimination is the one having the toughest time changing. policing in america is opaque. there is little transparency. powerful unions can protect bad cops and the principle of qualified

immunity means officers accused of misconduct are almost always given the benefit of the doubt. i think that there are bad apples among many good police officers in most departments. but the fact that they don't get outed, quickly, and dismissed, is a problem. the fact that a lot of these people who do get dismissed because of misconduct quickly find themselves recruited by other police departments in neighbouring communities, theyjust go from one place to another. it also doesn't help that america's policing system is fragmented to the point of farce, with around 18,000 different forces. in california, training can last 24—48 weeks while in north carolina, it isjust 16 weeks, half the length of time it takes to become a licensed barber in the state. whatever the training, the real—life fear of stopping a suspect who may be armed in a country awash with guns can lead to bad decisions.

this is atlanta in georgia. it's after curfew during protests over the death of george floyd. police stop a car with two college students inside, who protest they simply got stuck in traffic and didn't mean to break the curfew. the officers aren't convinced. the students are tasered. you can hear the tension and fear in the officer's voice. muffled shouting. but the students are unarmed. six officers now face misconduct charges. rogue cops, inadequate training and weak oversight are a toxic mix. then add racism — a scourge in america that sleeps lightly when it sleeps at all. to wake, all it needs is the slightest provocation, as happened on a minneapolis street one day in may. clive myrie, bbc news.

let's get some of the day's other news sweden's top epidemiologist. has admitted that the country's strategy on tackling covid—i9 was flawed. anders tegnell, the public face of sweden's virus response, defended the decision not to impose the strict lockdowns seen in other countries. but now says too many people died and the controversial strategy should have been adjusted. sweden has more than 40,000 confirmed cases and over 4,000 deaths. scientists are running a trial to see whether a type of ibuprofen can help treat coronavirus patients. they hope the low cost drug — which is an anti—inflammatory as well as a painkiller — could address breathing difficulties, and keep patients off ventilators. they are recruiting patients now, and don't expect to complete the study until next year.

a german prisoner has been identified as a new suspect in the disappearance of madeline mccann from a holiday resort in portugal 13 years ago. the man in his 40s is a convicted sex offender who had been living in the algarve at the time, travelling around in a camper van. madeleine mccann was three years old when she went missing from praia de luz in 2007. daniel sandford reports this is the volkswagen camper van that was by the new suspect in the madeleine mccann investigation. with its distinctive colours, police hope it will tread that someone's memory and lead to new evidence about their as yet unnamed suspect. —— trigger someone's memory. he used the vehicle to live in, and certainly the week preceding he was in there, living, so he would move around the area, using that van as probably his base. the suspect also used this jaguar car at the time. he registered the car

into someone else's name the day after madeleine mccann disappeared. the three—year—old went missing on may the 3rd 2007. she'd been sleeping in her parents' holiday apartment while they were 50 metres away, having a meal with friends. her 17th birthday was last month. on the german version of crimewatch this evening, police there revealed that the suspect has previous convictions for sexually assaulting girls and is thought to have burgled hotels and holiday apartments. he is currently in prison in germany. his phone was used in praia de luz, about an hour before madeleine mccann disappeared. tonight, the metropolitan police are asking for anyone who can help with information about the mobile number he took the call on that night. the vw camper van that he was using that

summer and the old jaguar xjr6 that he registered out of his name the day after madeleine mccann disappeared. in a statement, her parents, kate and gerry mccann, seen here in 2007, said they'd like to thank the police forces involved in britain, germany and portugal. they said they'd never give up hope of finding madeleine alive. the german police said that theirs is a murder investigation, but madeleine mccann‘s parents said that, whatever the outcome is, they need to know what happened, as they need to find peace. china has warned britain not to interfere in its plans to impose tough national security laws in hong kong. beijing has expressed strong dissatisfaction with the uk government after boris johnson promised millions of people in hong kong a route to citizenship if china goes ahead with implementing the new laws. our diplomatic correspondnet, james robbins reports.

china is determined to end all this, protests in hong kong, led by democracy activists, certain beijing will use new security laws to ensure they are crushed completely, possibly tried and jailed on the mainland. now borisjohnson is threatening to stimulate a mass exodus from hong kong by relaxing the visa rules for many with british overseas passports. he wrote in the times, if china imposes its national security law, the british government will change our immigration rules prominent young activists in hong kong are delighted, believing any threat to its future wealth is power. being in hong kong isn't about being pro—china or not, it's about right and wrong, it's about how we can save hong kong as a

global financial centre. china is outraged by britain's promise of a new home for hundreds of thousands, potentially almost 3 million hong kong people. translation: no foreign country is the right to interfere. the groundless remarks by the uk grossly interfere in hong kong's and china's internal affairs. britain's last governor of hong kong, chris patton, praises borisjohnson‘s toughness. it's an example which doesn't happen frequently in politics where doing the right thing, fulfilling our moral obligations, is also in our national interest. thursday is the 31st anniversary of the tiananmen square massacre of democracy campaigners in beijing, marked in hong kong each year until now for the usual planned visual has been banned, with china blaming coronavirus and activists calling that an excuse to disguise the future beijing plans for them.

james robbins, bbc news. stay with us on bbc news, still to come. we take a journey around singapore with a food delivery cyclist who helps people get their meals and then donates all his profits. the queen and her husband began their royal progress to westminster. the moment of crowning, in accordance with the order of service, by a signal given the great guns of the tower. tributes have been paid around the world to muhammad ali, who has died at the age of 7a. outspoken but rarely out—fought, ali transcended the sport of boxing for which he was three times world champion. he was a good fighter. he fought all the way to the end. even through his illness. yes he did.

uefa imposes an indefinite ban on english clubs playing in europe. today is the 20th anniversary of the beatles lp sergeant pepper's lonely hearts club band. a record described as the album of the century. this is bbc news, the latest headlines. all four police officers involved in detaining george floyd in minneapolis have been criminally charged in connection with his killing. a german prisoner is identified as a new suspect in the madeleine mccann case — 13 years after she disappeared in portugal. from monday anyone arriving in the uk will have go into quarantine for 2 weeks.

but the new plans have been heavily criticised by mps on all sides. almost everyone will now have to to self isolate when they come to the uk. tom burridge reports. the experience for people arriving into the uk is about to change. from monday, almost everyone will be expected to self—isolate for two weeks. so what does it mean for holidays this summer? should anyone be booking a holiday anywhere in europe right now? what's your assessment? are holidays abroad this summer going to happen? you know what the foreign office guidance is — the guidance is that everybody at the moment should avoid nonessential travel. everybody should avoid nonessential travel. we have to knock this virus on the head. so how will the quarantine work?

when you book your ticket for a plane, train orferry abroad, you'll have to provide a uk address when you will self—isolate when you return. when home, you will have to spend two weeks at that address. government officials will carry out random checks to see if people are self—isolating. anyone who breaks the rules might have to pay a £1,000 fine. enforcement rules might differ in scotland, wales and northern ireland. airlines say the quarantine adds uncertainty, and the boss of one of the world's biggest travel websites told me brits are looking but not booking. we saw in the uk a lot of searches of people who want to travel outside, but they are not booking like in the other countries because they don't know what will happen when they have to come back. tens of thousands of people travelled into the uk during the lockdown. the government insists the quarantine wouldn't have been effective at the height

of the pandemic because any cases imported would not have had any real impact on the overall prevalence of the virus. labour and conservative backbenchers disagree. unfortunately, like too much of the home office handling of the crisis, the management of arrivals to the uk has lacked urgency and coherence. i simply cannot get my head around the public health mental gymnastics of this policy. if such a barrier was required, why was it not introduced earlier in the outbreak? portugal wants brits to travel there this summer and says it's negotiating with the uk so, byjuly, people might not have to self—isolate when they travel home. tom burridge, bbc news. representatives from more than 50 countries are due to hold a virtual summit hosted by the uk on thursday with a view to raising money for the development of vaccines. the fundraiser comes as researchers scramble to find a treatment for covid—19.

there are concerns though that a small but vocal anti—vaccine movement could stop some people from taking one. according to a recent survey, one in five americans have expressed unwillingness to take to a covid—19 vaccine. matt motta is the author of that survey — and assistant professor of political science at oklahoma state university. hejoins me now from oklahoma. thank you forjoining us. 20%, that seems like quite a large numberfor something like this pandemic, is that surprising to you? it is a big number. we were not necessarily too surprised to see that. the united states stands out from the rest of the world in respect to how much vaccine skepticism there is, a lot of americans doubt vaccine safety

and efficacy, and these numbers are pretty much in line with what we have seen from previous surveys, of course not with respect to a covid—19 vaccine stop by more than 100,000 people have died in the united states can be would think it would be looking at coronavirus as something more serious than other things like the flu. how much is this to do with things like social media, misleading campaigns, fake news 01’ media, misleading campaigns, fake news or genuine belief that vaccines are bad for you? absolutely, so like we document in this study we find about six in ten people hold vaccine sceptical views, people that are misinformed and tend to be consuming the types of misinformation that circulate in small circles online. six in ten of those individuals planned to refuse a covid vaccine. also a lot of opposition from the

american public more generally. vaccine sceptics are not the only people who plan to refuse the vaccine when and if one is development. where political leadership come into this? one of the things we can start thinking about right now is how we might be able to convince americans that the covid—19 vaccine, wanted is the abuse, is safe and effective. right 110w abuse, is safe and effective. right now we have a couple of vaccines making their way through clinical trials and one of the things that oui’ trials and one of the things that our political leadership can do is emphasise the rigors of clinical trial and to make it clear to americans that although this vaccine may have been developed and accelerated timetable it is nevertheless safe. when you look at the demographics in terms of your research, just discover every sector? hello? ithink

research, just discover every sector? hello? i think we have lost the author of that survey there. thank you very much forjoining us. since singapore brought in lockdown restrictions, a take away meal can sometimes be the most exciting part of many people's day. but it's given one man an idea. originally from the uk, anthony houlahan decided to get on his bike and use his spare time to become a part—time delivery rider — donating everything he earns to charity. my my name is anthony houlahan, i live in singapore, was in the lockdown started i've been delivering food for charity. i need to get out of the house, just for my own personal mental health and sanity. i thought well, why not combine that and use this free time and energy to do something for good?

actually making a difference. do you go. enjoy your dinner. have a nice night. you - it is not nice night. you know, it is not easy. you get six or $7 a delivery. it could be hot, sunny, wet, it is a toughjob. a it could be hot, sunny, wet, it is a tough job. a lot it could be hot, sunny, wet, it is a toughjob. a lot of it could be hot, sunny, wet, it is a tough job. a lot of people do that tough job. a lot of people do that to feed themselves and their families, so i have the utmost respect to those guys but i am doing it for charity, and a great cause of that keeps me going. anthony and his meals on wheels delivery service there are for charity. that's it so far for this addition of bbc news. more on the website including the developing
