were thrown at police. ten police officers have been injured and 1a people arrested during the day. first let's show you scenes from the us where protests are underway. here is the senior of the white house, protest is there, they have been authorized to demonstrate and are encouraged to demonstrate by the mayor of washington, dc a member of the democratic party and says the protests should go ahead and with that coordination there is a police presence and a wider shot there of some of those demonstrations and if you look at those pictures for a while, you will see that there is no confrontation from what we see preteen daddy make between the protesters police and other parts —— between the protesters and the police. another parts of

the police. another parts of the country, many of the demonstrators say that their campaigning for racial equality foran campaigning for racial equality for an end to police violence against unarmed people in particular, members of the african—american community in this particular case, those protesters want justice for the unarmed man, george floyd, they wa nt unarmed man, george floyd, they want for officers who were seen to restrain him, including the officer who put his knee on mr floyd's next to be prosecuted to the full extent of of the law. there are very peaceful at the moment and towards the left, if the scammer had pam, you will see three words written in yellow on one of the main pavements, when the main avenues in washington that says black lives matter. the painting was authorized and it will zoom over there, will it. yes, you can see the word matter difference can see the

t. matter difference can see the t, de and the r. you can see that from space and that was authorized by the mayor of washington who is a de facto opponent of president trump and insisted that that be painted towards the white house. and we have seen crowds congregating during the day and we have not seen any clashes with the police. of course, the mayor of washington herself is in charge of the police there and has coordinated to make sure that there are no clashes between police and protesters. we will continue to monitor these bulletins as this progresses. two police officers have appeared in court, having been charged with the assault of a protesters, in the city of buffalo in upstate new york. the two officers were supended, after video of the incident, recorded by a local npr journalist, went viral online. the following footage contains disturbing images. the video shows the two

officer in question approach the alleged victim, local man martin gugino, and push him. mr gugino then fell backwards and began bleeding from the head. following the suspension of their colleagues, all 57 members of the two officer's unit — the buffalo emergency response team — resigned in protest. kyle mackie is a reporterfor wbfo, the local nation public radio station which first captured the footage. shejoins me now. thank you so much forjoining me first of all, are there any protests a nd me first of all, are there any protests and demonstrations where you are in buffalo? . yes there are. i had to come to the other side and on the other side of the building, this may be the largest cloud three have had in the streets here yet and there is a massive cloud and i would say in the thousands and their standing would say in the thousands and theirstanding in would say in the thousands and their standing in front of the hoarding center right now and

there here to defund the police. those two officers have been charged. what is the response of people in buffalo? they are happy to see those charges but we have also heard some calls from activists saying that this represents immediate justice saying that this represents immediatejustice for a saying that this represents immediate justice for a white protester that happened to be assaulted by police officers and what happens to people of color when the press are not recording. it is a call for continued action and i have been covering large peaceful visual and other parts of town and we had a massive gathering last night as well and so the protesters are certainly continuing. me know 57, all 37 of those colleagues, the officers colleagues on the emergency response team designed in the support. this i tell you anything about the police department that we do

not already know? you know, they had a segment on msnbc where he was arguing that the culture of our you're in these officers of all resigned in support of their fellow officers who have not been charged with felony assaults, we understand they are still employed by the police department, just no luck on that emergency response team. in general, whether relations like between the police and ordinary people? are the approachable, does it depend on what people look like other the same problem as what is been in other regions. i think the a nswer other regions. i think the answer you other regions. i think the answer you would differ most buffalo residents is it depends on where you live and what colour your skin is. people of colour your skin is. people of colour in buffalo have always been calling up police brutality against people of colour for decades as the buffaloes on the most racially

divided cities in the country. if some of the highest child poverty rates and there are some troubled relations between community and police. that is not to say that, i can't speak toa not to say that, i can't speak to a whole about the entire buffalo police department but we have certainly had cases of people remembering buffalo residents who have been killed by buffalo police i think we've had about four men of colour killed by police so far. a second memorial service has been held to honour the memory of george floyd. thousands of mourners gathered to pay their respects in north carolina where he was born, ahead of the private service. it comes after a service was held in minneapolis, near where he was killed. his funeral will take place in houston on tuesday. we'll have more from washington shortly — but first here in the uk thousands of people have gathered in cities across the country—

despite warnings to stay at home because of the risk of spreading the coronavirus. the home secretary, priti patel, had urged people not to take part, saying public health had to come first. the demonstrations were largely peaceful, but there were some clashes with police outside downing street on saturday evening, with mounted officers driving back some of the protestors, along whitehall. ten police officers have been injured and 14 people arrested. with more, here's chi chi izundu. early evening, after the official end of the protests, police were trying to clear whitehall. oh, my god, the horse has bolted. the officer knocked herself off her horse. it bolted into the crowd and trampled a protester. both are now receiving medical care. this is exactly what organisers called not to happen. just at the end of the protests, when the heavens had

opened, trouble started. despite heavy rain, groups stayed behind, throwing bottles and flares at officers. other protesters called for calm. peaceful is what the main event had been. a much larger number had turned up than expected. but this is a movement growing with each protest, not only over the death of african—american george floyd last month after a white police officer knelt on his neck, but to highlight that the uk is not innocent when it comes to racism. we are here to unite. because what we are fighting for is to stop institutional racism. the government had appealed for people to stay away. cheering. we are in a health pandemic across the united kingdom and coronavirus is a deadly virus, and of course i would say to those

that want to protest, please don't. the regulations are very clear in terms of gatherings and mass gatherings, in particular. we must put public health first at this particular time. organisers handed out masks and gloves and told people to keep two metres apart. but as the crowd grew, space diminished. it'sjust not defying the government. we're still going to be careful. it's to say that actually this is urgent and this needs an urgent action. but london isn't the only place taking a peaceful stand. in belfast, they managed social distancing during the demonstration. in manchester, an estimated 15,000 people gathered in and around piccadilly square. i'm from america, so this isjust a really big deal, to see this impact in the world so far from home. it's actually pretty fantastic. in sheffield, thousands of protesters took the knee. a peaceful, symbolic

gesture against racial inequality and police brutality that's fast becoming the emblem of this time. this is one voice with one message. black lives matter. and as thousands gathered in towns and cities around the uk, theirs is a hope that they'll be heard and real change can start. earlier i spoke to detective sergeant janet hills. she is the chair of the metropolitan black police association and a serving police officer. she told me that the protests had been largely peaceful across the uk, and responded to concerns over social distancing. people have gone there with the right attitude that they think if anyone is gone there to disobey the instructions from the government, i think people have gone there with the right attitude to protest about something that they feel really passionate about. i wonder how you see your role in the metropolitan black police

association as a member of the authorities but also as black citizens who must be subject to the same subject of pressures and discriminations that other black citizens face in the uk. it is challenging, challenging for citizens on the front line, policing these protests. some of the hostility that is coming from the crowd is actually aimed specifically at black, african, caribbean, asian officers. when they are feeling the same issues around the injustices that we know have happened in terms of policing and other institutions. it is a bit of a double whammy in terms of the officers and that they are there to do a job into a professionally.

do a job and do it professionally. but also face a double amount of hate from the crowds. did ever talk about it they were the get abuse from crowds or shut it from crowds. how do they deal with that? again, it is really challenging for the officers to actually deal with that at the time and it is also challenging for their white counterpart officers to be able to deal with that. you will feel it, you'll experience it and it is something that, if officers open up about it, there will be an opportunity for them to express that and also potentially where possible, take action against the people that have been doing it. as challenging as it is, those officers still are out there policing the communities, policing a peaceful protest and keeping people. you're watching bbc news these are the latest headlines. tens of thousands of protestors are marching in the us capital

washington, in the biggest protest so far against the killing of george floyd. thousands of mourners gather to honour george floyd at a second memorial service — this one in his birthplace of north carolina. police investigating a suspect in the madeleine mccann case, are also now looking into the disappearance the 43—year—old convicted sex offender named ‘christian b,‘ is currently in a german prison on drugs offences. the cases being reviewed include the disappearance of a german boy in southern portugal in 1996, and the disappearance in germany of a five year old girl in 2015. 0ur berlin correspondent, jenny hill reports.. in the tranquility of the german countryside, the former home of us suspected child killer. the former home of a suspected child killer. christian b lived here sometimes in a caravan. the impression you get is of a very secretive man, someone who came and went, usually at night who did not want to speak to the neighbours and gave the very clear impression that he did not want to be disturbed. police have searched this land

twice in the past four years, they found a memory stick containing child pornography, but no trace of a little german girl went missing in 2015. she was five and she disappeared from a family party. we have been told that the police still suspect him of involvement in her disappearance. there are other suspects but detectives know he had an acquaintance that worked where the party was held. this lawyer represents the father. it is always every few months or every few years, new evidence in our case appears. it is something between hope that his daughter is still alive and resignation that she might be dead already. christian b came to portugal in 1995, on the run from germany where he had been convicted of sexually abusing a child. a year later, a german boy disappeared and they are now reportedly looking again at the case.

more details are emerging about the man whose biography is chaotic. characterised by crime. christian b drifted between portugal and germany in the years after their disappearance. for a while, he ran the shop. he is now in prison, serving a sentence for drug dealing and for the rape of a 72—year—old woman. german police believe christian b killed madeline mccann, but they still need the public help to bring them to justice. a growing number of schools in the north—west of england, have delayed plans to reopen to more pupils on monday. it's over fears of rising coronavirus infections. some scientists suggest the ‘r' or reproduction number, is creeping up and may have surpassed one, the point at which the epidemic could take off again. 0ur north of england correspondent, judith moritz reports now from greater manchester. well, here we are, russell scott primary school in very changed times.

and it's all about welcoming your children back in a safe and sensible manner. yesterday morning, head teacher steve marsland posted this video on his school website as he prepared to open up to more children on monday. but by the afternoon, those plans were put on hold. the school, told to delay by the local director of public health. we want the children in school where they should be but in terms of the health of our community, i salute the decision, that somebody has actually come out and followed the guidance that was issued originally, where if the r level is anywhere near one and the contamination rate rises, looking after the health of the community and our school. it's notjust schools in this area which are being advised to delay their wider opening. it's the same in blackburn and on the wirral, schools are being asked to pause and reconsider. it's all based on the same

worry, that the coronavirus infection rate is rising in the north west. there's also a feeling that not all parts of this region are the same and there are calls for more localised information. we still could do with at least understanding what's happening in our localities, and they can take it to a sub regional level. 0k, we might not even be able to go down to a district level but we'd understand we need to do and the advice we'd need to give, which may be different from the national government's. the government's scientific advisers believe that across the uk the infection rate remains at a safe level. the north—west‘s two metro mayors say there's been pressure on schools to reopen. tomorrow, they'll call on the government to reassure head teachers that they can stay closed if they wish. places of worship are set to reopen later this month, underfurther easing of the coronavius lockdown in england. individuals will be allowed

private prayer, under plans announced by the government. weddings will still be banned. 0ur political correspondent, leila nathoo explains when this will happen. week on monday, we know that nonessential shops are set to reopen in now alongside them, places of worship in england will also be open to individuals for private prayer so, individuals for private prayer so, group individuals for private prayer so, group worship services, those will not resume until further down the line. this is a change that is been brought into northern ireland, not yet in scotland and wales and there will be guidance issued on social distancing and safety and i'll be up to individual churches, mosques, temples, synagogues and the still nurses that he make contingencies being met and we also can expect to hear more from the prime minister about other areas which restrictions can be more relaxed.

president trump exiting the north side of the white house and walking over to st. john's paris church, the church of the president because every president because every president for the last hundred yea rs has president for the last hundred years has worshiped there in the police used chemical agents to disperse protesters from there and the situation and this black lives matter protest isa this black lives matter protest is a lot more peaceful. we have seen is a lot more peaceful. we have seen pictures of those protesters getting close to st. john's church itself in these protesters say that they want justice, they want racial equality in these protesters say that they want justice, they want racial equality and they want racial equality and the mayor of washington, dc, who was a member of the democratic party and an opponent of president trump, in addition to naming that area black lives matter plaza, today, she pushed the army away from our city. and the city of 700,000 people is only a federal district. it is not have the status of the state, so have the status of the state, so you're watching one of the

contest really for control of the united states. via these black lives matter demonstrations, via these black lives matter hello. it has been an unusually windy couple of days. we will still have that keen northwind is still with us through the day ahead, particularly in the north in the east. but for the west, starting the ease with the share activity string to ease because high—pressure because high—pressure is building in. but we still got low pressure near the north sea coast, so we will see further outbreaks of showers among longer spells of rain slipping south across england and wales but the line drawing with the behind with just a few showers, not that many for western fringes of england and wales but central and eastern areas could have some quite sharp bursts even the odd rumble of thunder. still, that keen breeze is the same in northern

and eastern areas, does make me feel chilly. but for some, sheltered from the breeze and the been more dry bright weather, possibly more warmer than saturday. but overnight in the clear skies and showers fading, it will feel chilly, chilly enough for some grass frost potentially. thatis that is due to the area of high pressure which is starting to build in for monday and for many, we think on tuesday as well. however, the day after some much needed rain on the cards as a theory of low pressure starts to take shape. but, on monday it is looking like a dryer day and quite a bit of cloud mulling around but some sunshine and some strong sunshine and slightly less windy in the it will be warmer inafew windy in the it will be warmer in a few sharp downpours in the afternoon. into tuesday, another cool start but we are at long last losing the

northerly wind that we have a southwest wind instead and will bring some rain in there but it will be warmer because of a bit more sunshine we will have lost the northerly breeze. it is looking as the low pressure will start to develop to bring all of us some rain and that could hang around for much of the week and sink into southern areas now give some appreciable ra i nfa lls areas now give some appreciable rainfalls will certainly want to keep our eye on and as you can see, southern areas might get some significant rain as we head towards the middle part of the week. as ever, we will keep you updated. bye—bye.
