the only wrong thing to say is to say nothing, because. ..george floyd's life mattered. thousands of coronavirus tests have had to be redone after problems processing two batches sent to the united states for analysis. and prince charles talks about being affected by coronavirus, saying he "got away lightly". good morning. you're watching bbc news with me, annita mcveigh. 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. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford reports. this is the vw camper van that was used by the new suspect in the madeleine mccann investigation. with its distinctive colours, police hope it will trigger someone‘s memory and lead to new evidence about their as—yet unnamed suspect. 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 last night, police there revealed that the suspect has previous convictions for sexually assaulting girls and is thought to have burgled hotels and holiday apartments. he's currently in prison in germany. his phone was used in praia da luz about an hour before madeleine mccann disappeared. the metropolitan police are now 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 xj—r6 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 would like to thank the police forces involved in britain, germany and portugal. they said they would never give up hope of finding madeleine alive. the german police said that theirs is a murder investigation, but madeleine mccann‘s parents said, whatever the outcome is,

they need to know what happened, as they need to find peace. daniel sandford, bbc news, at new scotland yard. clarence mitchell is the spokesperson for the mccann family. he told the bbc that the family want to establish what happened to their daughter — and have not given up hope of finding madeleine alive. the family are very grateful, as they have been all the way through this, to the police forces involved, not least the british police but, now, the germans and, indeed, the portuguese police. they won't be doing any interviews, they would much rather the focus remains on the investigation and the appeal the police have just made overnight. but, as i say, they are grateful and they welcome this appeal. they simply want to establish what happened to their daughter, to find out the truth, and to bring whoever was responsible for her disappearance to justice. they have not given up hope of finding madeleine alive, despite the length of time, they've never given up that hope, but they are realistic, and they say that whatever the outcome of this appeal and the police work,

they do need to know, because they need to find peace. in more than 13 years, i can't recall an instance where the police have been so specific about an individual. granted, yes, he's not been named but, nevertheless, they are looking for specific details about his movement at the time of madeleine's disappearance, his vehicle usage, what he did with those vehicles afterwards and, indeed, down to the level of mobile phone usage on the day and night in question. now, of all the thousands of leads and potential suspects that have been mentioned in the past or discussed in the media, there has never been something as clear—cut as that from notjust one, but indeed now three police forces. so it does appear to be significant but the police, you know, they may still have reason to rule this man out at some stage but it certainly appears that he, and the police said this themselves, they are treating him as their prime suspect for now.

the vehicle it is said that this man was apparently living in. he had lived in the algarve for some time but had disappeared from a known address about a year before madeleine went missing but was presumed to have still been in the area, using this camper van to sleep in, apparently. the car he was also using and is said to have re—registered its ownership or its driver details in germany the very day after madeleine went missing, which is obviously a cause for the police to be interested in that, and the mobile number, the portuguese numbers, it would appear, that he received a call from another portuguese number lasting half an hour around an hour before madeleine went madeleine went missing, and the police are hoping that those numbers, which are being circulated by the authorities, and the vehicle pictures, might just jog the memory of somebody who was in the area or would know more details about this man. the police have always insisted, as have the private investigators, that probablyjust one or two,

a handful of people, know more about what happened to madeleine and the police are stressing that if any allegiances have changed, this man is now in prison, people who may have been reluctant to come forward until now, can feel safe in the knowledge that they can do so and the police are very keen to hear from them both here and in germany. it's now been more than 13 years since madeleine mccann disappeared. it was back in may 2007 when the three—year—old vanished during a family holiday in the algarve. she was sleeping in the apartment while her parents — kate and gerry — ate with friends in a nearby restaurant. the portuguese police launched an investigation but byjuly 2008 it was called to a halt, with no official suspects. david cameron picked up the cause after he became prime minister and, by 2013, the met police was ready to launch its own investigation. 0peration grange — as it was named — was slow and painstaking work, which has cost close to £12 million,

but, last year, the government agreed to extend funding. last night saw the biggest development yet, as detectives appealed for information about a german sex offender — currently injailfor an unrelated offence — who was in the area when madeleine went missing. 0ur correspondent nick beake joins me now. nick, why has this suspect emerged at this time? as you read that a timeline there, it is clear that this has been a long and exhaustive process for british police. it was three years ago that they made the last major appeal and believe that this man has emerged from this, so clearly some sort of information has been given in the last three years that they have been able to look at, alongside their german counterparts and also the portuguese police, and it has been able to lead them to this man, whose background, whose

location, certainly gives the investigating officers from each of those three countries some cause for optimism that they may well have found the person responsible for this. interestingly, you were talking about 0peration grange, the british side of things, which has cost nearly £12 million. 0peration grange looked at this man is one of 600 people. he was never a suspect but certainly his name, we don't know what it is at the moment, he was someone know what it is at the moment, he was someone who know what it is at the moment, he was someone who was know what it is at the moment, he was someone who was looked at. clearly, now, he is a person of huge interest. and this particular lead seems a lot more tangible than some of the leads over the years, doesn't it, with details of a phone number and two vehicles, the camper van which we have seen the images of, and a caras which we have seen the images of, and a car as well. that is something the mccann family, certainly through their spokesperson today, have said never before have police forces never before have police forces never been able to talk in such specific detail about one person. we know he is a convicted serial sex

offender, some of those offences against children. it has been reported in the german press that one of the offences took place in praia da luz, supposedly two years before madeleine disappeared, that was the rape of an american woman and, crucially, he was there, according to his phone records, just an hour before madeleine disappeared and so all of those things make him and so all of those things make him a person of huge interest at this point. and i think we are expecting to hear more from the german police a little later. that is right, at midday our time, the police in germany will be giving more details and we will be listening out for that. it is interesting, stressing at the moment that the british police are being slightly more cautious, saying this is significant but they want to prove or disprove that this man is responsible, whereas the german police have gone further, they say this is a murder investigation and clearly they want to try and play as much of a part as they can in solving this case, finally, after 13 years. thank you very much.

it's emerged that thousands of coronavirus tests had to be redone after problems processing two batches sent to the united states for analysis. the revelation comes amid continuing criticism of the effectiveness of the government's test and trace system. a total of 67,000 test samples were sent to the lab, but nearly 30,000 returned unreliable results. later today, borisjohnson is to urge more than 50 countries and donor organisations to play their full part in what he'll call the "most essential shared endeavour of our lifetimes", when the global vaccine summit gets underway. the government will also hold a video conference with aviation industry officials, to discuss its coronavirus quarantine plan. the business secretary, alok sharma, is self—isolating at home while he awaits the results of a coronavirus test. he looked visibly ill while in the commons chamber yesterday.

joining me now from westminster is our assistant political editor, norman smith. let's pick up with alok sharma first of all, awaiting the results of that covid—19 test. what does that mean for these mps that want to see a full return to a virtual house of commons, virtual voting?” full return to a virtual house of commons, virtualvoting? i think it will encourage them to try again, to bring about a return to virtual voting, which mps voted against on tuesday, by quite a large majority, nearly 60 but, i have to say, many of those conservative mps voting for the return of business as usual did so through gritted teeth. there was a lot of muttering and chuntering as they were going through voting for it. the difficulty is, you know, that vote was only two days ago, it would be hard to revisit it so soon, albeit there is actually a vote tonight from a sort of concession offered by the government to allow proxy voting for those mps who have to shield for health reasons or because they are over 70, so there

will be a vote tonight that will allow proxy voting for those who have to shield. the question is, will some mps seek to amend that motion, possibly, to press for a full return to a virtual parliament? the conversations i have had so far think that unlikely, i have to say, although there are plenty of mps that think that the alok sharma case, if indeed he does have coronavirus, underlined the risks and how far parliament is an incubating hotspot for coronavirus, because it is an old building with lots of narrow corridors, tiny rooms, the natural tendency of mps to gather in groups and talk to each other, so, although, you know, many mps believe they should try to go back to a virtual parliament, actually bringing it about, i think, is probably unlikely at the moment. norman, the government is facing lots and lots of questions as well about its test and trace programme, the numbers of tests being done not

helped by the news from the united states about the problems processing some of the sample sent there. it is also facing questions about the quarantine plans due to come in from the beginning of next week for people coming into the uk. what is happening on those fronts today? you are right, there is huge criticism, particularly of the quarantine plans, primarily from conservative mps. yesterday, in the commons, when priti patel was setting out the plans, ididn't priti patel was setting out the plans, i didn't see a single tory mps speak out strongly in favour of the move. a lot of that is about concern on the dash about the impact on the air industry and holiday industry and a lot of people think this is just intellectually nonsense, the idea that somehow it was right not to have a quarantine at the very peak of the pandemic but somehow it is right to have a quarantine when we are at the tail end of the pandemic. we had figures like liam fox, theresa may, hardly serial rebels, openly ridiculing the

policy, albeit this morning the government are sticking by it. cabinet minister brendan lewis again defending it this morning. the spread of the virus within the communities here in the uk is much lower than it was, it has got into a much lower level and we want to see that continue to be low and that is why this is the right time to bring this in, because as patrick vallance was outlining, when you have a higher community transmission rates, the difference somebody coming into the difference somebody coming into the country can make is much more marginaland the country can make is much more marginal and much more negligible. as our rates are much more lower and moving lower and lower hopefully as we go forward, it has a much bigger impact, that is why we are bringing this in. all that said, my instinct is this is a policy with a distinctly limited shelf life, given the degree of opposition and given we know the government has already promised to review it in three weeks' time. last night, there were calls for it to be reviewed within days and when you think there are already i think a0 or so exemptions

to the quarantine policy, so for scientists, health workers, engineers, sewage workers, rail workers, bbc engineers, there is already a whole host of exemptions to the quarantine, it seems to me quite probable that will be expanded significantly and, if it is possible, agreement will be reached with other countries for the so—called air bridges. with other countries for the so-called air bridges. norman, thank you very much for that. norman smith in westminster. joining me now from wigan is the shadow foreign secretary, lisa nandy. a very good morning to you, thank you for your time today. we are here today chiefly to talk about the global vaccine summit that is being led by the uk, hosted by the uk. 0bviously led by the uk, hosted by the uk. obviously a lot of folk are still on test and trace, a number of tests being done —— a lot of focus still. but everyone of course is looking to hopes for a vaccine. you are calling on the uk to take a global leadership role in all of this, because you have concerns about a

scramble for a vaccine and perhaps not every country getting a fair chance when a candidate hopefully eventually emerges. tell us more about your worries. well, we have this major conference today, where countries will come together to try and raise money for notjust a covid vaccine but for vaccines across the world and the usa, again, is conspicuous by its absence. we have had repeated occurrences of this over the last few weeks. the g7 isn't now meeting, the g20 isn't currently meeting. all of those globalforum where currently meeting. all of those global forum where world leaders would come together and try and work together to make sure we have sufficient quantities of these vaccines once they are discovered and that we are working together to get there quickly, they are just not happening. and, at the same time, we have seen a rise in what some people are calling vaccine nationalism, where countries are trying to buy up exclusive access to a potential

vaccine for their own citizens. 0ur government appears to be pinning its hopes on 0xford government appears to be pinning its hopes on oxford university and imperial college, both of whom are working hard to develop a vaccine. that is a very big, risky gamble to take. britain doesn't currently have a manufacturing capacity that we needin a manufacturing capacity that we need in order to produce sufficient quantities of a vaccine, even if we we re quantities of a vaccine, even if we were the first to discover it. we know that to eradicate covid—19, we have to make sure this vaccine gets to many countries around the world who are not going to have first access to it. so there are concerns that any vaccine would be appropriated by the country in which the successful candidate would emerge. just talk more about the uk's ability, if an agreement was reached to share a successful vaccine around the world at the same time, tell us more about the uk's ability to actually manufacture one. that is one of the great worries.

the government has put a bit of money in trying to scale up our manufacturing capacity but, during this crisis, we have seen how we have been so heavily reliant on countries like india for paracetamol, countries like china for ppe, we simply don't have the manufacturing capacity that we need here in britain in order to develop the quantities of a vaccine that would be required, so one of the things we are asking the government to do is appoint a vaccines tsar, that could coordinate efforts and make sure countries don'tjust appropriate a vaccine and it is manufactured across the world and those conditions go into the licenses of whoever is approved to manufacture those vaccines, so we see this go across the world and get on the front foot. without that global cooperation, we will slow down the discovery of a vaccine and will not get it to those who most needed and that is why we want britain to take a leadership role. do you think there will be that the scramble or will whichever country a

vaccine hopefully emerges in, will they not recognise that it is in their interests to share that information, to share the ability to manufacture the vaccine, given that the global impact of this means that, where one countries affected, every country is affected. well, it is absolutely right to say that we are not going to defeat covid anywhere unless we defeated everywhere, but the problem is, in the last few months, you have seen the last few months, you have seen the us administration approaching a german drug company reportedly to try and up exclusive access to a vaccine in development there. so the special relationship needs to work, you are saying, the prime minister should leverage that special relationship with the us to try and influence what it is doing?” relationship with the us to try and influence what it is doing? i think thatis influence what it is doing? i think that is absolutely right, because you have also had a chinese company trying to buy an equity stake in a rival company in order to get exclusive access and really worrying developments from the business secretary, before he fell ill,

talking about uk citizens having preferential access to a vaccine here. i want to see british people get a ccess here. i want to see british people get access to a vaccine quickly, but i also want to make sure that we don't have a second wave of this that, the moment we start to come out of lockdown, we see a second wave around the world, more lives lost here in britain and more economic impact as well, and that is why we say the government has to step up, reach out to the usa, get them round the table. they have declined to come to our conference today and if the special relationship is to mean anything, now is the moment that borisjohnson has to reach out across the atlantic and show that it matters.” has to reach out across the atlantic and show that it matters. ijust wa nt to and show that it matters. ijust want to touch on a couple of other topics, if i may. speaking about that relationship between the uk and the us, we saw at pm cues yesterday, keir starmer brought up the subject of the death of george floyd, the killing of george floyd. do you want to see borisjohnson doing more to talk to president trump about what

he is doing in the states? his response, his language, which has been roundly condemned by many people, including republicans. i'd very much like to see borisjohnson being more vocal about this. as meghan markle said today, the only wrong thing to say is to say nothing at alland, in wrong thing to say is to say nothing at all and, in the last few days, we have had the foreign secretary here rightly condemning police brutality in hong kong and, yet, at the weekend, when he was asked about the death of george floyd and the response to the protests in america, he said it wasn't appropriate for him to comment. the world cannot afford to be silent at this moment. freedom, democracy, equaltreatment, human rights, these are the basis of our international alliances around the world and i very much agree with jo biden and president 0bama, that this has to be the moment when these young processors, not just this has to be the moment when these young processors, notjust in america but here in britain and across the world can come out and

support and understand we have heard what they have been saying and this is the moment when things really begin to change. and, finally, you mentioned alok sharma awaiting the results of a coronavirus test and the fact that he appeared clearly uncomfortable and ill in the commons, it has added weight to those arguing for a return to virtual voting, a virtual parliament. can you actually believe that parliament is in this situation? we are hearing voices not just from labour but other parties as well saying why on earth shouldn't there be a continuation of virtual voting? do you think you are going to get back to that? that very much depends on what the government decides to do and so far, they have been very intransigent about it. a lot of tory mps in the voting queue, when we were all standing very close to one another. hours at a time, we re to one another. hours at a time, were saying that it made us a laughing stock to the rest of the world. actually, ithink laughing stock to the rest of the world. actually, i think it is more serious than that. i think it really

undermines what the government is trying to do. as we ease lockdown, we had to take this slowly, take it gradually and we should be following the government guidance, which is to ensure that those who can work from home do. we had a virtual voting system that allowed that to happen and, instead, we have had this very reckless approach this week. my heart goes out to the business secretary, he has a family and i'm sure they are very worried waiting for the test results. nobody should have been put in that position and it makes you wonder if the government has this level of co nte m pt government has this level of contempt for their own mps, what they must feel about the rest of the country. this really isn't good enough. people are taking risks, a lot of our constituents are going out to work every day, teachers are being asked to return to school and we got to show that we are taking this seriously and not allow the nhs to be overwhelmed again. lisa nandy, we must leave it there but thank you very much for your time. new charges have been announced against all four of the sacked police officers who were present

at the death of george floyd in minneapolis. his death has sparked protests across the us. derek chauvin, the officer who was filmed kneeling on his neck for almost nine minutes, will now face an upgraded charge of second—degree murder. 0ur los angeles correspondent david willis reports. huge protests continue to grip this country in response to george floyd's death. thousands converged on downtown los angeles, and after violence here over the weekend, this time, their call for change was peaceful. night—time curfews remain in place here, as well as in new york and washington dc. in minneapolis, where all this began, anger gave way to cheers at the news that former police officer derek chauvin is to face a more serious murder charge. let me hear y'all say we got all four! we got all four! and at the news that the three other officers involved in mr floyd's death have now been arrested. they stand accused of aiding

and abetting his murder. president trump's often bellicose response to the recent unrest here has unnerved even some in his own party, and now his former defence secretary james mattis is voicing concern. ina in a withering critique in the atla ntic in a withering critique in the atlantic magazine, he accuses the president of an abuse of power and rights... donald trump responded promptly... icy limitless potential which deserves to flourish and thrive —— i see. you should be able to live and make mistakes and live a life of

jov- make mistakes and live a life of joy. america's first black president struck a different tone to president trump ina struck a different tone to president trump in a live town hall event. as tragic as these past few weeks have been, as difficult and scary and uncertain as they have been, they have also been an incredible opportunity for people to be awakened. right now, ithink opportunity for people to be awakened. right now, i think the nation needs law and order, because you have a bad group of people out there and they are using george floyd and they are using a lot of other people to try and do some bad things and we have it totally under control. george floyd's family and friends are due to gather in minneapolis on thursday for a memorial service in his honour. the calls for a radical reform of race relations in this country are growing. meghan markle has spoken out following the protests over the death of george floyd.

in a video message, speaking to the graduating class of her former high school, she said she felt compelled to address what's happening in america. the only wrong thing to say is to say nothing, because... ..george floyd's life mattered and breonna taylor's life mattered and philando castile's life mattered and tamir rice's life mattered. and so did so many other people whose names we know and whose names we do not know. stephon clark, his life mattered. and i was thinking about this moment when i was a sophomore in high school. i was 15 and, as you know, sophomore year is the year that we do volunteer work, which is a prerequisite for graduating. and i remember my teacher at a time, one of my teachers, said to me before i

was leaving before a day of volunteering, "always remember to put others' needs above your own fears. " and we will have more on the death of george floyd and the political reaction in the states a little later. right now, it is time for the weather forecast and here later. right now, it is time for the weatherforecast and here is later. right now, it is time for the weather forecast and here is matt taylor. good morning, all. we have already seen a good morning, all. we have already seen a change in our weather to something cooler, cloudier and, at times, wetter. that will continue and we will add strong winds into the mix over the next few days. not today, the breezes coming from the north of italy, showers into the afternoon but for many, more miss than hit and many gardens will stay dry. any brightness that continues ina dry. any brightness that continues in a south up to 18 or 19, but feeling colder in the north, temperatures nine or ten but a brighter afternoon and this morning. through tonight, we will see showers come and go, many places staying dry, chilly to the south of scotland

and the north of england, temperatures a few degrees above freezing in sheltered spots but most are certainly frost free into tomorrow. for england, wales and northern ireland, sunshine and showers, some showers heavy and thundery, some will stay dry. showers in northern scotland to begin with will be replaced by more persistent rain later, temperatures nine or ten and made to feel even colder by the strength of the wind. widespread gales developing through friday into saturday in the northern half and it could lead to some traffic disruption. more on that later. hello, this is bbc news with annita mcveigh. the headlines: the disappearance of madeleine mccann in portugal — a convicted german sex offender has become the focus of the international investigation. police believe he was travelling in the area in this camper van at the time madeleine vanished 13 years ago. a stinging attack on president trump by his former defence secretary james mattis over his threat

to use troops to end the protests sweeping the united states. the duchess of sussex speaks of her own experience of racism in the wake of the killing of george floyd in minneapolis. the only wrong thing to say is to say nothing, because...george floyd's life mattered. thousands of coronavirus tests have had to be redone after problems processing two batches sent to the united states for analysis. and prince charles talks about being affected by coronavirus, saying he "got away lightly". sport, and for a full roundup from the bbc sport centre, here's mike bushell. more discussions about the premier league today, i believe?

we are less than two weeks away from the premier league's planned restart, and there's a big meeting today. the clubs will discuss what to do if the season can't be completed, but assuming it can, there will be more information about how we can watch the games. every one of the 92 matches left will be on live tv, and 33 of them are going to be free to air. amazon have announced that all four of their matches will be free on prime video, four more will be on the bbc. and sky will make 25 of their games free to air on their pick channel. we're yet to find out what bt sport will decide to do with their 20 matches. we should get more details today after the latest premier league meeting, but we know the first two matches back are aston villa against sheffield united, and manchester city versus arsenal. they are both on sky sports subscription channels. now if manchester city lose that match, it would mean liverpool could win the title in their first game back, away at everton that weekend, and that will be free to air on sky. we're waiting for details of the bbc‘s first live game,

but rumour has it it'll be bournemouth against crystal palace on the 20th. the games will look and sound very different too. they're being played in empty stadiums, of course, but broadcasters are looking at the idea of adding in crowd noise as an option for viewers. it's being reported they might even use atmosphere from the fifa computer game. and stadiums could even have cut—outs of fans in the seats. meanwhile, tottenham have reported one positive coronavirus result in the latest round of testing by the premier league. that person will now isolate for seven days. that was the only positive result after 1,197 players and staff were checked in the latest round. there were nine positive tests in the championship at six different clubs in their latest results. that's bound to cause concern ahead of their proposed restart on the 20th ofjune. as sportsmen and women continue to add their voices

to the black lives matter protests, snooker player alfie burden showed his support yesterday by taking a knee before his championship league match against ryan day. he said he wanted to emphasise the importance of all those with a platform taking the opportunity to speak out. and taking the knee during the national anthem is something we are bound to see in the nfl when it resumes following the death of george floyd. but now there's a conflict emerging between two team—mates. drew brees of the new orleans saints said he would "never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the united states." in response, malcolm jenkins posted a very emotional video. here's just part of it. and here we are now, with the world on fire, and you still continue to first criticise how we peacefully protest because it doesn't fit in with what you do and your beliefs? without ever acknowledging the fact that a man was murdered at the hands of police in front of us all, and that has been continuing for centuries, that the same brothers

that you huddle down with before every single game, the same guys that you bleed with and go into battle with every single day, go home to communities that have been... ..decimated. .. drew, unfortunately... unfortunately, you are somebody who doesn't understand their privilege. you don't understand the potential that you have to actually be an advocate for the people that you call brothers. cana can a white power. there are a malcolm jenkins of the new orleans saints. —— powerful stuff there from malcolm jenkins of the new orleans saints. new car sales in the uk fell by 89% in may, only slightly less

negative than a 97% collapse in the previous month. the figures show that the idustry is continuing to be hit by the coronavirus lockdown. ben thompson, last week we were talking about renault and nissan, today aston martin announcing more job losses in the industry. yeah, morning to you, no huge surprise that the industry is now trying to determine what it does next, given that slump in car sales, and a vastly different car market than before we entered a lockdown. we have had the latest figures as you say this morning suggesting the number of new cars registered falling by close to 90%, selling just 20,000 cars last month compared to an average selling about 180,000 at the same time the year before. so in that market, car firms are looking at how they respond. this morning news from aston martin, they say they will cut 500 jobs to meet

reduced production levels. it talks about a fundamental reset of its business, because it wants to save about £10 million. at the same time, we have also heard from one car dealership who say they will cut 1500 jobs and closed 12 of their showrooms, about 20% of the workforce to cope with the slowdown in sales. and as we discussed, not surprising, but the industry now trying to work out where it goes from here. we can talk about some of the implications with rachel burgess of autocar, i wonder about your take on the figures from the industry body, because clearly would lockdown very few people are able to get to a showroom, but they did manage to sell 20,000 cars, quite surprising that they sold any at all. yes, good morning, the middle of may it was

announced that click and collect was allowed, so some dealerships were able to capitalise on that, and that is where that 20,000 car sales came from, obviously an improvement on april, as you mentioned. so now the car dealerships are open, they opened on monday, sojune will be very telling. so far, there seems to be quite a lot of pent—up demand, some of the major dealerships are even reporting record year on year interest, but obviously it is very ha rd interest, but obviously it is very hard to see where things will go for the next few months, because the broader economy is inevitably in trouble. the yeah, as you said, there was dealerships able to open from monday, i was in one on monday, the boss there in loads of pent—up demand, lots of people have been looking at their website during the lockdown, and of because as we emerge, public transport looking less attractive, they were expecting a lot of demand for used cars. there

are rumours that used car interest is about six times what it typically is about six times what it typically is at the moment, and that is the expectation, because used cars are obviously more affordable, if somebody hasn't had a car before and i now want one, because they typically use public transport, it is an obvious choice, and because demand for cars will outstrip supply, demand for cars will outstrip supply, some people will not want to wait to order a new car, they want theircar wait to order a new car, they want their car now, wait to order a new car, they want theircar now, and wait to order a new car, they want their car now, and they might go to wait nearly new car as an alternative option. so yeah, we expect the used car market to be incredibly strong. a quick word, if you would, onjobs, aston martin cutting jobs, lookers, the dealership, and we have heard from nissan about its concerns. what will the industry look like in the uk after a ll the industry look like in the uk after all this is done? at the moment, factories are open at much reduced volumes, but some still are not. you mentioned aston martin and

lookers, mclaren announced job losses last week as well, and we expect a lot more redundancies in the sector, as in the broader business world. at the moment, the revision for production is underi million, which is about 400,000 units down from the beginning of the year, you know, which could mean a loss to the industry of about £12.5 billion, so this is massive, the car industry is 800,000 jobs to the uk, yeah, it is important we do everything we can over the next few months to try to resolve the issue. good to talk to you, rachel burgess, deputy editor at autocar. annita, what has been discussed in other countries to revive their own market isa countries to revive their own market is a scrappage scheme that would maybe see about £2500 reduced from the price of a car to encourage us to get back out and support the

industry. no details yet about whether that will happen in the uk, but nonetheless one of many measures the government will be looking out for all sorts of industries to try to make sure they can stem job losses and keep the industry viable given the slump in demand. they will be keeping a close eye on what happens and what demand look like from here on in. really interesting to listen to that conversation about cars, because greenpeace is calling on the uk government to seize what they call a once—in—a—lifetime opportunity to restart the economy after the coronavirus pandemic with after the coronavirus pandemic with a focus on a green recovery. of course, that includes looking at transport. they have released a manifesto including priority policy changes and investment in greener infrastructure, but critics say that a public health crisis is not an appropriate time to seek a green opportunity. so what do environmentalists want out of all this? we can talk now to rebecca newsom, head of politics at greenpeace uk, and to tell us how practical this could be in practice.

and also i'm joined by jonathan ba rtley, co—leader of the green party. good morning to both of you. rebecca, first of all, could you give us an overview of the four priority areas that you have identified in this manifesto for a green recovery? yeah, absolutely, so greenpeace isjoining business groups, campaign groups, politicians across the political spectrum calling for a green recovery, and as you mentioned, this is a once—in—a—lifetime opportunity, because not only do we need to recover from the coronavirus crisis and create thousands of newjobs, but we also need to tackle the climate and nature emergencies which actually are going to create huge more threats further down the line for our economy, for our society, for our economy, for our society, for equality, if we don't tackle these things together. so we now have a once—in—a—lifetime

opportunity to kind of tackle these issues in one go, and the greenpeace ma nifesto issues in one go, and the greenpeace manifesto that we have put out today has a set of very detailed recommendations for politicians across the uk. it stems from boosting renewable energy, cleaning up boosting renewable energy, cleaning up our transport system, restoring and boosting nature recovery, and also making our homes warmer and better quality so that, actually, coming out of these really difficult period, we can have a better and fairerand period, we can have a better and fairer and greener society for all. jonathan, what do you say to that criticism that a public health crisis isn't the right time to look at all of this? i simply don't understand that criticism. i think it is absolutely vital that we create security for the future and that we invest in our public health, and what better way to invest in public health than by restoring our relationship with nature, cutting

air pollution, having a better quality of life, but also minimising the risk of future pandemics, which scientists warn us are very real? if we don't overcome that broken relationship with nature, does greenpeace are saying, this could be our final hour or greenpeace are saying, this could be ourfinal houror our greenpeace are saying, this could be our final hour or our finest hour, and you know, we should grasp this moment with both hands. we need the economic stimulus, we know, to provide security going forward, we need decentjobs, provide security going forward, we need decent jobs, we provide security going forward, we need decentjobs, we know that old fossil fuel industries are declining, losses are going to come in many industries, so we need to invest to create newjobs that will ta ke invest to create newjobs that will take us into the future and secure people's work. the committee on climate change said it was critical to avoid a quick and dirty recovery which sacrifices environmental goals for a rapid return to business as usual. but what makes you think that these will be any different from that return to business as usual?

have you had any signs from the government that it is committed to this sort of green recovery that greenpeace is talking about, that you in the green party have been calling for? lets be honest, there is an absolute dearth of political leadership here, we know that even before this crisis the government was not on track to meet its own climate change commitments, and that is not even taking account of the emissions that come from shipping and aviation. it is caught like a rabbit in headlights, and this is a time where we need decisive, positive, bold political leadership. we need our politicians to step up and say, we can make our country better and, you know, look at spain, where they are introducing a minimum income to guarantee the security of workers for years to come. where is that in this country? we can look to other countries in europe where they are putting forward ideas for a new deal, the transformation of every sector of the economy. i am really

concerned, this is the moment, we need that change now. like this at the moment, you say, sorry to interrupt, let me go back to rebecca, a spokesperson or deborah has said this government remains committed to being a world leader in tackling the global challenges of climate change as we rebuild our economy in response to the pandemic, we will continue to shape an economy and society that are cleaner, greener and more resilient. i wonder what your take is on the government response, because you have said your green manifesto, these priority areas, have to be delivered simultaneously in order to get the full benefit, and i suppose there is the structural bias in society everywhere to build buildings in the way that they have always been built to you know, basically do what we have always done, so what changes this time? are there signs from the government that they are changing? it is really good to hear that the

government is talking about a green recovery and that they recognise how much of a priority basis, and indeed actually pick up has a really important opportunity next year to stand on the world stage, hosting the next global climate conference, setting an example for what the green recovery looks like, but what really matters now, beyond the words, is getting this stuff into action, and the government has an opportunity to do that with the upcoming announcements we are expecting from the chancel at next month, with various speeches and opportunities to unveil these policies over the next six months, so we policies over the next six months, so we really need to see the detail beyond the green recovery words and actually get the government to step up actually get the government to step up and recognise that investing more now and reforming how we run our economy will be better for people, it will be better for our air quality, our health, for hundreds of thousands of jobs quality, our health, for hundreds of thousands ofjobs across the uk, and

as jonathan said, it thousands ofjobs across the uk, and asjonathan said, it is also going to make us more resilient to economy shocks that the climate change will pose. rebecca knew some, jonathan barclay, thank you. —— rebecca newsom. millions of babies are missing out on lifesaving vaccines, as the coronavirus pandemic disrupts immunisation campaigns around the world. the united nation's children's agency unicef has warned that it could lead to thousands of children dying every day, from diseases that had largely been brought under control. our global heath correspondent tulip mazumdar reports. new mums trying to do the best for their young babies in the midst of a pandemic. this clinic in niger's capital, niamey, is usually packed, but restrictions on movement, a shortage of health care workers, and the fear of catching covid—19 have kept many families away.

this health worker says far fewer women have been coming to get their babies vaccinated since the pandemic and children are now at greater risk of other killer diseases like measles. many countries were advised by health officials to suspend vaccination campaigns to avoid the spread of coronavirus, but now there's a stark warning about the longer—term impact of this disruption. measles is on the rise, diphtheria, cholera, so all of these issues are going to be a real problem. as a world, we had conquered in this past century many of these preventable diseases for children. so we made great gains on childhood survival. what is now threatened is all of those gains in the last 30 years, that we will wipe them away because children are not getting immunisations.

the pandemic is disrupting life—saving vaccination campaigns on a global scale. in south east asia, it's estimated more than 3a million babies missed out on their routine vaccinations. both nepal and cambodia are reporting significant measles outbreaks. in africa, it is estimated 23 million babies missed out on their routine vaccinations. ethiopia, for example, is currently fighting measles, cholera, and yellow fever outbreaks. recent research suggests disruption to these types of crucial services could result in the additional deaths of more than 6,000 children every day. medical staff around the world are working tirelessly to try and ensure those devastating numbers do not come to pass. here in bangladesh, vaccination clinics are reopening under a new normal. when you have a big effect on vaccines like this,

it takes some time to rebuild some of the systems around them. it's going to be important to make sure we can continue to deliver routine vaccinations, but also as we rapidly move forward towards having covid vaccines available, these are the same systems we're going to use to be able to deliver those, as well to look for further outbreaks. despite the challenges, the work continues. these medics are going door—to—door here in colombia, as world leaders meet virtually for the global vaccine summit, hosted by the uk, to ensure these life—saving campaigns can continue. tulip mazumdar, bbc news. the prince of wales has said he "got away with it quite lightly" when he contracted coronavirus at the beginning of the uk's epidemic in march. prince charles said he self—isolated after testing positive for the virus and only experienced mild symptoms. he also used the interview with sky news to highlight his concerns over the environment. 0ur royal correspondent nicholas witchell has more.

he's been campaigning on the environment for more than a0 years, and he believes as the world emerges from the coronavirus pandemic, there will be, as he puts it, a golden opportunity to build something better. he calls it the great reset and the fact that he too experienced the virus has sharpened his resolve. it makes me more determined to push and shove and shout and prod, if you see what i whatever i can do, behind the scenes sometimes, but yes, i mean, isuppose it did partly. i mean, i was lucky in my case and got away with it quite likely. but i've had it, and i can so i understand what other people have gone through. the prince expressed his deep sympathy for what so many families that had to endure. but as we recover from the pandemic, he hoped people would see that the planet and its damaged environment should be treated as the patient.

so no self—respecting doctor would ever have let the situation, if the planet is a patient, reach this stage before making an intervention. hence, you know, the precautionary principle, which seems to me absolutely essential. it was time, the prince said, to put nature back at the centre of our collective concerns. nicholas witchell, bbc news. the bafta television awards have just been announced, and a powerful drama about the chernobyl nuclear power station disaster looks like it could be in for a successful night. the sky atlantic and hbo series, called chernobyl, was nominated for nine awards including best leading actorforjared harris. it was not shortlisted for best drama. that will go to either the crown, gentleman jack, giri/haji,

afternoon, just ten celsius on wednesday afternoon, felt like a completely different change of seasons. and that cooler story continues through into the weekend. some rain at times, can't be guaranteed for every garden and all will turn windier. not too breezy out there, though, today. there'll be plenty of cloud around, showers across scotland, northern ireland, northern england push a bit further southwards. but still many in the south will stay largely dry. the showers in northern england and southeast scotland could be heavier through the afternoon and it could start feel even colder across the north and northeast as those northerly winds pick up. not too bad in the sunnier moments in the south, 18 or 19, the high. but overnight, there would still be some showers around. clearer skies, too. most well and truly still frost free. then into friday, sunshine and showers for england, wales and northern ireland. some showers could become heavy

and thundery at times. but as we start the day with showers in scotland, northern half of scotland, we replace those showers with some longer spells of heavier rain as we go into friday afternoon, northeast scotland could be some minorflooding, too. and temperatures only nine or ten degrees. maybe even a bit of snow on the hills. and it will be fairly much colder than that given the strength of the wind, particularly northern half the country we will see some widespread gales develop as we go through friday and into friday night. all linked to thius area of low pressure which is developing to the east of us over the next few days, pushing another bit further southwards. so it's the north and the west, where some of the strongest of the winds will be, biggest chance of travel disruption across the northern half of the uk as you see winds maybe top 60 miles an hour in places. but across the board, a windy day on saturday, bright compared to friday in northern scotland, cloudy for most, outbreaks of rain, no guarantee of that. but a cold day compared to the high 20s we saw last week, just 12 to 1a degrees, probably warmest western scotland with a bit of sunshine and shelter,

as it will be on sunday. western areas always brightest on sunday. the winds ease down relative to saturday. greatest chance of rain, central and eastern parts of england. that is how it's looking, see you soon.
