still, more brits are needed. teresa brooks was a professional japanese drummer. now she is working on this family run farm. with the pandemic going on, i think people are becoming more aware of where their food is coming from and the importance of british growers and british farmers. however, this kind of spirit is not enough on its own. growers say migrants are as vital to farming as they are to the nhs. claire marshall, bbc news, worcestershire. time for a look at the weather here's louise lear. hi there. summer is on hold as we head into the weekend. a showery weekend with a cool wind for all of us weekend with a cool wind for all of us because of this area of low pressure that's going dominate to the south of scandinavia and it's going to interact with the uk for the next three days. that means we

start off on friday across northern ireland, england and wales, with brief sunny spells in the scattering of showers. the shower was hit and miss but unlike today, some of them could be quite potent, maybe even with rumbles of thunder and the wind strengthening, in excess of 30— showers in scotland will be replaced by heavy persistent rain into the north—east and here stronger winds gusting in excess of 50 miles an hour potentially through the afternoon, making it feel really quite cool with top temperatures struggling, mid teens generally across the country. as we move out of friday into saturday, but the just slipped its way down to the north sea. the strongest of the wind to the western flank of that low so another blustery start to the weekend, a lot of cloud around and rain through southern scotland, northern england and north wales. brightening up slowly in scotland. not that much in the way of noticeable rain unfortunately across the extreme south and the cool day with temperatures widely into the

mid—teens. as we move out of saturday into sunday, it looks likely there will be some rain clipping that east coast and more cloud around but lighter winds, so a slightly quieter day, a better day, slightly quieter day, a better day, slightly warmer day, so how does this add up in terms of rainfall totals 7 this add up in terms of rainfall totals? many parts of the country had its driest may on record. this is rainfall accumulation throughout the weekend so the darker blue suggesting where we will see the heaviest rain potentially up to an inch of rain but look to the south, no significant rainfall yet again so parched gardens and communal lands are going to continue to look pretty yellow, i'm afraid. louise, thank you. a reminder of our top story. mccann, who vanished prosecutors as a man is investigated on suspicion of her murder. face coverings will be compulsory on public transport in england from the 15th ofjune, if you don't wear one you won't be allowed to travel and

could be fined. that's all from the bbc news at six, so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are.

hi there, welcome to sportsday with me check and partake of a coming up on the programme, premier league teams will be able to make five substitutions in a game as clubs approve new rules ahead of the restart this month wasn't asking for forgiveness, drew breeze apologises a day after saying for players that ta ke a day after saying for players that take any are disrespecting the american flag. —— take any are disrespecting the americanflag. —— drew take any are disrespecting the american flag. —— drew brees. and a new track record on the first full day of the guinness festival and newmarket.

welcome to the programme, thank you for joining welcome to the programme, thank you forjoining us. with less than two weeks ago until its planned return, weeks ago until its planned return, we we re weeks ago until its planned return, we were hoping for more concrete details today about what the restart of the premier league would look like but we are going to have to wait a little bit longer despite a meeting of all 20 clubs earlier, our sports correspondent had details of what was said. laura one thing we know for sure is how many substitutes teams are going to be allowed to make. exactly that was the main outcome of today in terms of confirmation of anything. the clu bs a pprove of confirmation of anything. the clubs approve the use of up to five substitutes and again that is up from the usual number three. and they will be allowed to have nine players on the bench rather than the normal seven. this is all part of an effort to manage player fitness

given that they clearly have had a disrupted campaign but also this will benefit the clubs who have better squad depth, but it was clearly something that the clubs approved on in the majority today. 0ne approved on in the majority today. one of the big questions is what happens if the season restarts but can't be played to a finish. but no decision will be made on that scenario in advance. knowing i think it reflects the momentum behind project restart that this issue has not been addressed properly yet. we know it was discussed in the meeting today but the clubs decided that they would actually hold off on making a decision on how they would finish the week table and which clu bs would finish the week table and which clubs would be relegated and the title, until such a point until that becomes a likely scenario and clearly the whole thing does not come to that. they decided to put that for third or doubt —— further down the road. when we going to get stuff that the fans want to know about like the fixture list or what the tv schedule was going to look

like? it is clearly a big one for the fans and we are expecting some sort of a fixture list in the next one to four hours that will likely include the three rounds of fixtures. but it was not confirmed off the back of the meeting. discreetly a lot of procedure that goes into these because with all the matches being shown live, they have a huge number of matches and kick—off time so work around and they have to be happy between the time they had between games, it is something that the fans will sink their teeth into when it is published. yes, maybe tomorrow is going to be that day. laura scott, thank you. the scottish fa has confirmed all first—team squads in the premiership will be allowed to return to training a week today. the plan in scotland remains for the new premiership season to start on the 1st of august. 0ther premiership season to start on the 1st of august. other weeks wishing to resume training we need to prove they can meet the same testing and health measures. new orleans saints

quarterback drew brees says it brea ks quarterback drew brees says it breaks his heart to know the pain he is because after he said he did not agree with nfl players highlighting racial injustice by kneeling during the national anthem. drew brees says it was disrespecting the american flag. the comments he made yesterday have been widely criticised including by his team—mate, malcolm jenkins. 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. earlier drew brees apologise for the comments that upset so many and said he needs to do more talking —— more listening less talking. in an process he wrote... he went on to say... 0ne one of the youngest and most high—profile sports people who has been joining high—profile sports people who has beenjoining the protest high—profile sports people who has been joining the protest in the high—profile sports people who has beenjoining the protest in the us is tennis player coco goff. this is pa rt is tennis player coco goff. this is part of her speech at a black lives

matter event in forward. no matter how big or small your platform is coming you need to use your voice. i saw doctor king quote that said "the science of the good people is worse than the brutality of the bad people." so you need to not be silent because if you are choosing silence, you are choosing the side of the oppressor. so i have heard many things this past week and one of the things i heard is "it is not my problem". this is what i have to tell you this. if you listen to black music, if you like black culture, if you have black friends then this is your fight too. next to racing the first full day of the guinness festival and newmarket, there was a full race market and a new track record for frankie to tori but that is where the sense of normality ends. there was no crowd whirring them on and very few people on the race course at all. tom williams reports. racing for the

first time and out theyjump... seven months since newmarket west station meeting, back racing again today. the flat season here should have begun seven weeks ago but better late than never. the guineas festivals under way. it's been very well organised, it feels very safe and secure, and we are all longing to get the crowd back in but we are equally longing to get back racing and delighted that we are back here today. to say security is tight isn't doing itjustice. racing behind closed doors and they really mean it. if you have not been authorised to attend, this is as close as you can get. you can just make out the grandstand right in the distance. tough to pick a winner from here. at the front gate, security checkpoints, trainers, jockeys, and officials all have to pass a three stage healthcheck which includes having your temperature takenjust to

includes having your temperature taken just to get to the course. 0nce taken just to get to the course. once inside, stringent hygiene and social distancing measures and one—way assistance for all. on four legs or two. this guineas weekend is going to be really strange. at the moment we arejust going to be really strange. at the moment we are just getting used to it but when it comes on the saturday, that is going to be really quiet when we have a classic to run, that's when it will hit home. quiet when we have a classic to run, that's when it will hit homem didn't take for home favourite to make a didn't take for home favourite to makea an didn't take for home favourite to make a an impression, a winner of race two and a new track record. make a an impression, a winner of race two and a new track recordm was quite weird racing at newmarket with no spectators, it was dead quiet. as we passed the line, there is no row. you broke the track record and no one was there to see it? no one was there to see it. by fairness newmarket have done a great job, this was the first day of four days, it was a good start and it went off without hiccups. not quite, the grandstand yesterday, today a

window missing. no spectators, no injuries thankfully. the racecourse is investigating. perhaps racing behind closed doors isn't so bad. tom williams, bbc news. —— frankie dettori. international cricket set to return next month of course. it is fairto to return next month of course. it is fair to say that we have been starved of sport over the past few months. so we are going to end with an excuse to show you a quick snippet of one of cricket's finest ever moments, well worth a look at this again. laboured at the time the ball of the century. 27 years ago since he did that, angling getting with this incredible delivery in the first test against australia at old trafford. it was his first ever ball against england in an ashes test. you might not need reminding the aussies of course that they won the

match was up a very young looking shane rowen. that is office work, there is much more in the website but for me and the team, thanks for watching. tonight. —— that is all for sport. you are watching bbc news, i'm clive myrie, let's take you live to minneapolis. and these are the pictures showing many, many people gathered there for what will be a memorial service for george floyd the 46—year—old african—american who died, killed at the hands of a white police officer at the end of last month. the dignitaries and people gathering there to remember his life and of course, that death caught on camera, beamed around the world and

has led to widescale protests and demonstrations about police brutality and the treatment of african—americans at brutality and the treatment of african—america ns at the brutality and the treatment of african—americans at the hands of the police. those demonstrations and protests right around the world of course. social distancing having to ta ke course. social distancing having to take place, people wearing face coverings there as people gather in minneapolis for this memorial service and they —— they were also be gatherings in new york remembering the wife of george floyd. when we get more on this, we will bring it to you when we can. —— remembering the life of george floyd. the cabinet minister, grant shapps, has announced that the government is to make face coverings compulsory on public transport in england. speaking at the daily downing street briefing, the transport secretary said the rule would come into force on monday the 15th ofjune, and apply to buses, trains, ferries and aircraft. he warned people could be fined if they refused to wear a covering. joining me now is the

shadow green transport and aviation secretary, mp kerry mccarthy. thank you for being with us. what you make of the government ‘s position on this now when we are on pub trance were wearing face coverings? if the public health experts are advising this is the right thing to do, then we will support it. but the big question is why now? wine the 15th ofjune when sadiq khan the mayor of london was calling for it a couple of months ago and the government then said that wouldn't make any difference. even now i think it is because they had experience coming in from other countries where they have put in this measure and it seemed to have had an impact. if they decided it is the right thing to do now, why can't they do it they did with the lockdown was like we all got a couple of days notice about the lockdown changes, why can't they bring in soon enough? part of the reason is on the 15th ofjune there

will be more easing of the lockdown, nonessential shops will be opened up. there's a sense that the country is getting back to work and as a result, now is the time to bring measure in. but the government did tell people a few weeks ago that more of them should be returning to work. we know that public transport is really struggling to cope, it is 0kfor is really struggling to cope, it is ok for the government to say try not to travel at peak times but it is very difficult to predict when trains are going to be busy. and surely you would want the measures in place whenever there is a significant number of people using public transport whether it is now, a few weeks ago when people were starting to go back to work, or whether it is on the 15th ofjune when the shops will be open. do you discern an overarching transport policy in relation to the coronavirus pandemic? do you discern a sense that there is an overview of

the role of transport in dealing with this pandemic? know and i think thatis with this pandemic? know and i think that is one of the problems. they have given so much money to local councils for temporary infrastructure for bicycle lanes and things like that, they have not given much clarity in terms of guidance, they have not done really much to press those reluctant councils, i have seen councils be really ahead of the game and seizing this initiative but there is a lot of other councils around the country that have not done so and i do not see any steer government guidance on that facet then you have grant shafts a few weeks ago saying please don't go on public transport. that isa don't go on public transport. that is a pretty poor message if you are trying to encourage about more people to cycle, socially distance when they're out walking and that will be quite difficult under pavements with people walking in the roads and needing more space and extended pavements for that. ——

grant shapps. it has been modelled. what i would like to see is far more clarity from them, far more being done to encourage people who can cycle or walk to do that safely and that will mean cracking down on those motorists that are speeding. specifically, would you then do, what would labour do if they were in the government's position? one of the government's position? one of the key things is to make sure that councils, what i hearfrom the key things is to make sure that councils, what i hear from talking to people who are responsible for this area policy and local councils is there is quite a lot of confusion as to how to use the traffic orders and the various legalities of what they're about to do. i think that is a start. i think make sure the councils are actually going to be funded for what they want to do because again there has been lots of promises to councils you do whatever it takes to cope with this pandemic but the money is not following in the way that it needs to. and this

thing like cycle work schemes, if you are fortunate to have an up where that signed up to that, it is a real incentive to buy a bike through that scheme, it gets taken out of your gross pay and you can pay over a period. you have to pay merely upfront but there are people who are... you do not have to pay upfront. if taking part in that scheme would take you below the minimum wage... some people on the lowest incomes who would benefit most from this have been excluded so i would like them to look at what they can do to make sure that eve ryo ne they can do to make sure that everyone who would benefit from being able to cycle and get a bike and get it in an affordable way and quickly for some the bike shops are also a lot of bikes and we need to address that as well. people have been serving to get their hands on a bike even though they would like to cycle. are you seen this pandemic as an opportunity to try to move us all

toa an opportunity to try to move us all to a greener idea of transport? and a sense that this perhaps is an opportunity that might not come again. yes, and i think it is so important that these green changes be imported. some people saying pop up bike lanes. signed on traffic on streets so that people can socially distance when they are out and about walking or cycling. we need to embed that so it is permanent change. the fear is that if it is not safe for people to cycle and we do have this rush back to work and people rush in to get back to their car is that we will lose all the benefits that we have gained during the last few months. and i think the other thing to mention is air pollution which is a huge problem in particular our cities and urban areas. the government is being taken to court for failing government is being taken to court forfailing to meet government is being taken to court for failing to meet the targets several times over this. i think eve ryo ne several times over this. i think everyone will welcome the fact that there is less traffic, congestion

and much cleaner air. there is less traffic, congestion and much cleanerair. it there is less traffic, congestion and much cleaner air. it would be such a shame if because of the lack of planning and a clear sense of direction from the government we we re direction from the government we were to return to the old days of traffic jams and breathing were to return to the old days of trafficjams and breathing in filthy fumes. carrie mccarthy, shadow green transport and spokesperson, thank you. as we have been reporting, the city of minneapolis is hosting a memorial service to remember the wife of george floyd. that is his casket there. —— the life of george floyd. in minneapolis where he lived and died at the hands of a police officer at the end of last month. images that were captured on camera beamed around the world and some of the dignitaries there paying their respects, final respects to that man whose death has reignited

the debate of race relations and police brutality frankly in the united states. there is going to be a similar kind of service in new york as well as others there remember the wife of george floyd. he was 46. —— the lie. he had allegedly used a counterfeit $20 note to buy something in the store. he was challenged by people in the store. the police were called and that spiralled out of control leading to his death. at the hands ofa leading to his death. at the hands of a policeman, that man derek chauvinist. he is now facing charges of second—degree murder and three other officers who also helped to restrain george floyd, they are now facing accessory charges to murder as well. —— derek chauvin. all four

of those officers facing trial for the death of george fowey with this memorial service taking place in the city where he died, minneapolis there. —— the death of george floyd. we understand that the eulogy at the service will be led by the reverend al sharpton. any more from that service we will bring it to you. we are going to stick now with the coronavirus and the handling of the pandemic here and the government's announcement through the transport secretary that we are all going to have to wear face coverings when we get on public transport from june the 15th, bus, rail, tram, anything that is publicly owned will require all of us publicly owned will require all of us to wear face coverings. mick cash is the general secretary of national union of rail, maritime and transport workers — which represents more than 83,000 members. hejoins me now. mick good to see you, thanks for

being with us. were you consulted about this mick little tight—lipped apologies on the sound there. we will try to bring you that when we sort out the sound problems there with nick cash from the national union of rail and maritime transport workers. but in the meantime, we are going to take you to new york, we showed you pictures from minneapolis a little bit earlier of people gathered for the memorial service of george floyd. he'll that the hands of a police officer in minneapolis, these are pictures from new york where people are gathering in brooklyn. they're gathering in brooklyn there to celebrate the life of mr floyd. of course we have seen a number of

protest marches, demonstrations, right across america and indeed across the world many protests taking place here as well. protesting the appalling treatment of mr floyd. right, i think the gremlins in the machine had been booted out, let's go back to mick cash. mick can you hear me? i can hear you, jolly good. were you consulted about this decision by the government to make it mandatory for all of us to wear face coverings on public transport and on rail? all of us to wear face coverings on public transport and on rail7m all of us to wear face coverings on public transport and on rail? it so that we have been calling for some considerable time now and if you travel to paris or belgium, you would've been required to wear face masks. it is something we welcome and should be done sooner rather than wait until the period of time they are doing it. we do wonder whether the government have been

doing it too long because it is an issue... it is one of a number of measures that will make it safer to travel in our transport system when we still want to make sure that nonessential travels are not... and that social distances are maintained that social distances are maintained that in conjunction with the mass will make it safer for everyone including passengers. that was a lwa ys including passengers. that was always the fear was in it and the reasoning for not bringing the masks and face coverings earlier was that it might give people a false sense of security and as a result they don't end up social distancing, washing their hands for 20 seconds and so on. is that a fear that you have? we have a fear about the fact that the government or easing lockdown too soon. we have seen a 2596 lockdown too soon. we have seen a 25% increase of travel in our network. we will gradually see that increase and we need all the measures in place to do that. we are going to try to make sure that we

protect the passengers and our members. and having facemasks to prevent transmission by the way not necessary protecting individuals from transmitted to and is welcome as is keeping social distancing travelling if they need to travel. we saw horrible pictures like the weekend where we had private trains people rushing in. that is worrying, we need to make sure the government don't rush the easing of lockdown potentially to the safety of pastors and staff. thank you forjoining us, mick cash. that is your lot for a while, now here is a look at hello there, the weather story has well and truly change as we head towards the weekend. more on that and a moment. it's this pressure that will develop close to scandinavia bringing cooler northerly winds and rain at times.

friday it will be a case of sunny spells and scattered showers. the six showers across inge and wells will be hit and miss but we will see more heavy persistent rain arriving into northeast england by the end of the day. it will feel cool here, we may well see temperatures peaking at 17. the winds will go up to 40—50 miles an hourand 17. the winds will go up to 40—50 miles an hour and stronger later. as we headed to the weekend there is the case of rain for some, some persistent and that cool wind slowly easing on from sunday onwards. here is that we'll pressure pushing down from the north sea bringing heavy persistent rain of parts of southern scotla nd persistent rain of parts of southern scotland and northern england. brighter to the north, not much rain for the south but nearly cool for all.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. a memorial service for george floyd, who died in police custody last the us attorney general has said the justice system ‘must change' how it treats african americans — and promised his death won't go unpunished.
