after a weekend of violence, the home secretary will make a statement later after the prime minister said anti—racism protests were "subverted by thuggery". the police minister condemns protestors after a statue of edward colston, a prominent 17th century slave trader, was pulled down. we resolve these issues in this country not by people showing up with ropes and tools and committing criminal damage. you know, we have to have a sense of order and democracy in the country. why in 2020 are we having statues and symbols and names of streets that remind us of a very dark place in history? we'll be getting reaction to a weekend of protests live from westminster, and from washington. also this lunchtime... new rules requiring all people arriving in the uk to self—isolate

for m days have come into effect but there's confusion as many ask, how will it work? from head to home i'm going to use public transport so if i am a carrier now, how will they control it? i think it makes no sense because in germany at the rate is less than here and to infect it is more likely here in the uk than in germany so for me it makes no sense. us authories have formally requested prince andrew answer questions as a witness in the criminal probe into sex offenderjeffrey epstein. facing huge challenges — dental surgeries in england can reopen from today but there's a warning that many of them are not fully prepared. and meet five—year—old tony who, despite losing both his legs, has raised thousands of pounds after learning to walk again, inspired by a certain captain tom. and coming up on bbc news,

manchester city and england forward raheem sterling backs at the antiracism protests across the uk and tells the bbc racism must be stopped. good afternoon and welcome to the news at one. the home secretary, priti patel, will make a statement in the house of commons later today after some demonstrators at anti—racism protests over the weekend clashed with police. the prime minister has said the rallies were subverted by "thuggery" and that while people had a right to protest peacefully, they had no right to attack the police. in bristol, where a statue of the slave trader edward colston was pulled down, the city's mayor says he feels no sense of loss after the bronze memorial was thrown into the harbour the policing minister, kit malthouse, said it was an act

of criminal damage. tom symonds reports. yesterday, in central london. until this point, the clear anger at racism in britain had been expressed in words only. now there were clashes. some protesters tried to stop it happening but some threw fireworks and other objects. one used a broom as a weapon. police pushed back forcefully. today their union said they were in a difficult situation. policing in this sort of sensitive situation is really difficult and we are damned if we do and damned if we don't. so to see our cenotaph damaged in such a way is painful. officers injured, a vile level of violence are trying to justify this lawless action is an utter disgrace. well, this had been quite a quiet evening until the police made a single arrest, a young man on a traffic island just next to parliament.

there was an immediate reaction from the crowd and the atmosphere is very different now. police would have known this arrest could raise the temperature. sure enough, they were immediately attacked. so, it is a balance between enforcing the law and keeping order. this protest — illegal under pandemic legislation — was allowed to go ahead. preventing it might have been worse. in bristol, keeping was the main the police did not stop charles const and's statue from being torn down although this will be investigated —— constant. although this will be investigated -- constant. a crime was committed, criminal damage was committed, there should be evidence gathered and prosecutions should follow. there was an elected mayor in bristol and a council and it is through those democratic means that we resolve theseissues democratic means that we resolve these issues in this country, not by people showing up with ropes and tools and committing criminal damage. but this was not a popular piece of sculpture and the labour

leader believes it needed to go. piece of sculpture and the labour leader believes it needed to gom should not have been done in that way, completely wrong to pull a statue down like that but stepping back, that statue should have been brought down, taken down a long time ago. there is a plaque on it that describes him as a wise and virtuous soi'i describes him as a wise and virtuous son which is a double insult. it is not something that i as a bristolian would have looked on with pride. and this is the next statue the protesters are targeting, cecil rhodes who was a i9th—century imperialist who took over vast swathes of africa. campaigners say rhodes must fall as well. why in 2020 are we having statues and symbols and names of streets that remind us of a very dark place in history? slavery was one of the worst atrocities to mankind in history. the black lives matter

protesters want to make britain confront the way black people have been treated. this protest has at least led to a national discussion about the history of these objects represent. but there are no other debates as well, in particular with the protests which have ended three times in varying degrees of unrest should be allowed during a pandemic. tom symonds, bbc news. our assistant political editor, norman smith, is in westminster now. home secretary priti patel will be talking about this in the commons later? and i think it will be a pretty uncompromising statement from the home secretary because there is already a growing backlash on the government benches over at some scenes we saw at the weekend, even though it is widely accepted they we re though it is widely accepted they were responsible at the upper tiny minority of protesters. clearly ministers have decided they will not turn a blind eye in order to try and smooth things over which is why they are now calling for the police to prosecute those responsible notjust for the toppling of the edward

colston statue but the defacing of the statue of winston churchill in parliament square and the attempt to burn the union jack parliament square and the attempt to burn the unionjack on the cenotaph. at the same time, among some tory mps there is also criticism of the police for not taking a more assertive, robust role in trying to stop the scenes of public disorder from breaking out in the first place. a call echoed to some extent by the police federation this morning who have called on senior police commanders to apologise for getting their tactics wrong and also for sending out officers equipped only in flat caps and hi vis jackets. where does it leave us? i don't think there is any question of these demonstrations being banned, even though they clearly do breech lock down rules. you couldn't ban them because people will still turn up them because people will still turn up and clearly many of the protesters think they achieve more by toppling that statue in an afternoon then maybe numerous demonstrations over the years, but i

think it is also quite likely that such a view to protest will be much more intensely and heavily policed. norman, thank you very smith. in the us, minneapolis city council has voted to dismantle the local police department in order to "create a new model of public safety". let's speak to gary o'donoghue who's in washington. it comes after a we could nationwide protest. related to day eight memorial to george floyd will be head had ahead private family funeral. dismantling of the local police department, how would that work? it is a pretty radical word and it makes you think you might ring up at the end of one shift when your house was being burgled and the police will not pick up the phone product that is not what will happen. what were talking about is more things like local municipalities around minneapolis taking over the policing of the city, perhaps a different county.

dismantling in that sense and that has been done before in other parts of the united states when police departments have been seen to fail. the problem here is that they wanted to use that kind of language because they wanted to convey the idea that this cannot be piecemeal, that it is not about the few bad apples, an argument we sometimes hear. this is argument we sometimes hear. this is a systemic and cultural and a fundamental problem of discrimination in policing and that is the problem they are trying to address. the difficulty of course that you use language like that, you create great big political opportunities for your opponents, like donald trump for example, who has already started talking about the law and order candidate. he is a meeting with representatives of law and order at the white house later today and i can pretty much predict he will start to use this to beat the democrats with because it was a democrat mayor who said this and

while the democrats nationally are not talking about dismantling police departments, there is a lot of support for defunding them, in other words taking some of that resort is a way to direct them more toward services in the cities that can address the problems the police are often called out to deal with. thank you very much, gary donohue. new quarantine rules have come into force, requiring most travellers arriving in the uk to self—isolate for 14 days. there are some exemptions, but the parent company of british airways has described the measures as irrational, and is taking legal action. the home secretary, priti patel, says the new measures are essential to prevent a second wave of coronavirus infections. theo leggett reports. a handful of travellers arriving at sta nsted a handful of travellers arriving at stansted airport today, among the first you will have to spend the next two weeks in isolation. for so many people it might be inconvenient but for me it is ok because i have come to the country and the rate is high here so i think it is a

sensible. from here to home i'm going to use public transport. if i ama going to use public transport. if i am a carrier now, how will they control it? how would you know if i have spread it to anyone else? there is no track of that at all.|j have spread it to anyone else? there is no track of that at all. i think it makes no sense because in germany the rate is a less than here and to infect more likely here in the uk than in germany pulled it for me it makes no sense. people coming into the country will have to fill out a form before they arrive, saying where they are planning to stay. if they don't, they could be fined. they could also be penalised if they do not remain in isolation for the full two weeks. they cannot leave, even to buy food. i would not go there, if i were to travel to the uk on vacation i would like to be able to go out and have fun and not be stuck inside. there are exemptions. for example, lorry drivers, seasonal farm workers and people with specialist skills. the rules themselves apply to the whole of the

uk but the fines can vary between nations. people coming from ireland, the channel islands or the isle of man will not be affected but for the moment, everybody else will be. the policy has provoked outrage from within the travel and tourism industries. manchester airport and oui’ industries. manchester airport and our other airports are hugely important for the local economy, supporting tens of thousands of jobs, whether taxis or our own people who work for the airport. it is hugely important and quarantine will impact that, no doubt. british airways has launched a legal challenge to the policy, backed by easyj et challenge to the policy, backed by easyjet and rya nair. challenge to the policy, backed by easyjet and ryanair. the government insists the measures are necessary to protect public health and prevent new cases of covid—i9 being brought in from abroad. but there is a potential solution that so—called air bridges. passengers on routes to and from countries with low levels of infection could be exempted from the quarantine rules. airlines want them as soon as possible. we think,

as the ellen community, that there isa as the ellen community, that there is a decent number of countries, mainly across europe but further afield, where there is sufficient passenger demand —— as the airline community. we now need the government really with a degree of urgency to work with foreign governments and a set of these air bridges as quickly as possible because otherwise we will not have eight summer season here. yet if holiday—makers are to be allowed to seek out the sunshine abroad this summer, other changes will be needed as well, not least to foreign office advice which currently says that people should avoid foreign travel u nless people should avoid foreign travel unless it is essential. theo leggett, bbc news. our transport correspondent tom burridge is at stansted airport now. just how workable is this? there are questions about it. people are coming offa questions about it. people are coming off a flight now from berlin and they will have to safer —— self—isolated for two weeks but those who came from dublin this morning will not because arrivals

from the republic of ireland are exempt. that is the question, i think it seems really that the government is not going to police people coming in from the republic of ireland so people can get round the rules that way but anybody arriving from elsewhere has to fill in that form online. you can find it quite easily. and wearing a mask because that is the new rules inside an airport terminal here at stansted and that tells you the other story, the rest of the story, a very quiet departures lounge, or terminal here. very few flights taking off today for this time of year. it's the second week ofjune, normally at this place would be heaving with people coming in through arrivals and out the other end from departures. that is why airlines are furious about this, furious that other countries with lower infection rates are not exempt from the rules, so people could come in from those countries and not have to self—isolate. but most of the people we spoke to this morning are fairly happy about following the quarantine

rules but a minority say it will be inconvenient and they have questioned why it has been brought in now, saying it's a bit late. tom, thank you very much. the dutch government is advising people not to travel to the uk. our report is at schiphol airport in the netherlands. what else are they saying? —— reporter. this is one of europe's busiest travel hubs normally, it doesn't look like it today but you will see a lot of people walking around wearing face masks and they are on sale at cafes throughout the airport. they are not actually required in this area, only at the gate and then again on board when social distancing is not possible. the loudspeaker is reminding people to keep their social distance, that is what these blue stickers on the floor are four as well. the staff at check on operating behind drastic sheets and throughout the airport

there are signs reminding people to practice good hygiene. at the dutch government has advised people not to travel to the uk or sweden because these are considered to be areas of greater risk of infection. i had been speaking people hear today who said that they would love to go to the uk but the idea of paying for two weeks in quarantine means it will not happen. there are of course exemptions, medicalworkers will not happen. there are of course exemptions, medical workers have been travelling today and they have just been a handful of flights to the uk from here in schiphol, all operated by klm, and they have now gonein operated by klm, and they have now gone in case you were hoping to travel today. and a reminder of course that the eu wide ban on all nonessential travel is in place until the 15th ofjune, so that is next monday. thank you very much. authorities in the us have formally asked prince andrew to answer questions

as a witness in the criminal investigation into the sex offender jeffrey epstein, who died last year. the sun newspaper and american broadcasters are reporting the us department ofjustice has submitted a request to the home office which would mean the prince, who was friends with mr epstein, would be required to answer questions by american police here in the uk. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell is with me now. what does this mean, what happens now? it means the british authorities are now obliged to assist the us department ofjustice to obtain answers to questions. there is no question of prince andrew being bundled off to the united states or anything like that. this is a procedure that would take place in this country. he would be expected to answer a series of written questions. if he refused, he could be taken before a magistrates' court. it may seem rather curious why more than six months after he withdrew from public life and said he would answer any questions from an appropriate american law agency, why he hasn't done so. his legal tea m why he hasn't done so. his legal team insists they have engaged with the americans. the americans say there's been a complete lack of cooperation. i think his legal team

are concerned that it's a sort of fishing expedition by the americans with a grandstanding public prosecutor and i think it will be the case that willie will get more details from his legal team about the content there has been later today. —— we will get more details. the time is 1:19. our top story this lunchtime: after a weekend of violence, the home secretary will make a statement yesterday after the prime minister said the protests were overtaken by thuggery. coming up — the rows over guest—lists will get livelier.. from today, couples in northern ireland can get married — but it's got to be outside and with a maximum of 10 people present. coming up on bbc news in sport, it's the start of a huge week for manchester city as their appeal against a two—year ban from european football competitions gets under way at the court of arbitration for sport. from today, people in northern ireland can get married or have civil partnership

ceremonies, but they must be outdoors, and with only 10 people present. it's part of the easing of restrictions, which has also allowed for larger retailers to open up. across the border in the irish republic, all high street shops can now open, in a speeding up of moves to end restrictions, as our ireland correspondent chris page reports. we would be at the height of the wedding season were it not for the pandemic, but these special spaces will now be hosting ceremonies again. in northern ireland, couples can get married outdoors from today, with up to ten people present and those preparing to take their vows say it'll be all more precious. we initially didn't plan to have a very long engagement anyway, and then when we got engaged, i kind of had the idea in my head of the 26th ofjune. and i think we just prayed that god would make a way, and god did make a way. so the day before we came down, the restrictions were lifted, and we were allowed ten people, which is exactly what we need, so it's absolutely perfect for us. some weddings are being

planned very quickly. it's actually been organised probably since friday evening, to be honest! yeah, more like three or four days! yeah. i think it was just lucky that the venue that have offered their outdoor decking area to us were just so quick off the mark to offer it up for couples who wanted to get married post—lockdown, and we just jumped on it straightaway. so, outdoor wedding venues like this will now be welcoming back couples and at least a few guests. but business people are hoping that ministers in the devolved government in belfast will go further and ease restrictions so that more of the summer season can be rescued. basically, all our may, june, july and even some of august have postponed, so we're just really now looking forward to more positive news and hoping we can get going again as soon as we can. several moves are being made

to loosen the lockdown locally. larger retailers like car showrooms have reopened this morning. people who have health conditions and have been shielding can go outside for the first time in weeks. in the republic of ireland, all shops except those in shopping centres, are able to return to trading. the government in dublin has decided to significantly speed up its virus recovery plan. politicians at stormont, who make the decisions for northern ireland, are meeting this afternoon to decide their next steps. yesterday, no deaths linked to the virus were recorded in this part of the uk. chris page, bbc news, belfast. bp is to cut 10,000 jobs from its worldwide workforce with around 2000 jobs expected to go here in the uk. the chief executive said the redundancies were part of the company's redundancies were part of the compa ny‘s plans to redundancies were part of the company's plans to make it more integrated, flatter and smaller. we can get more from our business correspondence. the virus having an effect here, is it? yes, as you say, terrible news for 2000 bp staff within the uk. it is because of the

virus which has had a dramatic impact on oil companies. the price of oil plummeted in recent months, it's recovered slightly but it has had a big financial impact on them. in the uk, thesejob had a big financial impact on them. in the uk, these job losses are going to affect mainly office—based jobs. they have offices in london. they have a big business campus, as they call it, in sunbury to the west of london, when we leave 4000 people are working. and around the uk, including aberdeen, some of those jobs may be front line and so won't be affected as 70,000 bp staff across the world, 30,000 are in those front line roles, both producing oil and retailing it on the forecourt and they are not affected. pay will be affected. so, for the higher pay grades they will get no increases, there will be no bonuses as they embark on this making the company more nimble, they

say, in the face of the move to renewa bles say, in the face of the move to renewables and the restructuring they are having to go through because of the impact of the virus. simon, thank you very much. dental surgeries across england have been allowed to reopen today, but the british dental association has issued an open letter to the health secretary, warning only a fraction of services will be available and calling for support for the industry. in scotland, only private dental practices can open. and in northern ireland, there will be a phased approach. wales' chief dental officer says they're looking at re—opening from the 1stjuly. dan johnson reports. phone rings. the calls are coming... good morning, together dental. ..from patients who are suffering. does it get eased with anything, so anything hot, cold or any painkillers? but for most... so, at the moment, we're not seeing any patients. ..there is still no appointment. we can only see a few patients. the backlog is becoming more of a backlog as we can only see a handful of patients here,

when we would have seen 160. so, realistically, we may be talking a couple of months at least. patients are allowed in just one at a time and all but the most urgent cases are being sent away to treat themselves. i had a tooth filling fell out a couple of weeks ago. i think they've done the best they can all along, and they're doing a good job at the moment as well. obviously, people with more pain need the urgent appointments. other people like me can wait a little while. and if you do get an appointment, this is what you'll see. changing protective equipment and cleaning treatment rooms means extra cost and delay. although it's uncomfortable, it's there for the safety of us and our patients, and that's paramount. that's the first line that we have to deal with. and then obviously comes the treating of the patients thereafter. but it slows down what you are able to do? exactly, yeah. yeah, severely. so, on average, i'd probably see about 30 patients a day and maximum i'll probably see in a day

is about five patients. so the waiting list is... so the waiting list is getting clogged up, its building up and we're going to have to tackle that somehow. so, routine dentistry is still a long way off, and just a third of england's practices are expected to treat anyone today. many of my colleagues have struggled to implement the operating procedures that were only issued last thursday, and the ppe, which has been an issue all the way through this pandemic, was only released to the dental market on wednesday, far, far too late for many of the practices to get orders and get that delivered to their practices for today. the dentist's diary isn't full, despite patient demand. access wasn't good before, but now it looks even tougher and will be for some time. danjohnson, bbc news, in essex. there have been no new coronavirus deaths reported in scotland for the second day in a row.

speaking at the daily press briefing, the first minister nicola sturgeon said the news was very encouraging, but warned that more deaths from the virus were likely to be reported in the coming days. new zealand is pretty much back to normal, after lifting almost all lockdown restrictions. health officials confirmed the country no longer has any active virus cases. there will be no limits on public gatherings — such as sports events — and social distancing will not be required. but the country's borders will remain closed. phil mercer reports. life in new zealand will start to resemble what it was before the pandemic. under alert level one, physical distancing will still be encouraged but there'll be no restrictions on businesses or the number of people allowed at gatherings. its international borders, however, will stay closed. reconnecting new zealand with the rest of the world remains a big challenge. it's had no new covid—19 infections for 17 days. the prime minister, jacinda ardren, says the country of 5 million

people has come together to defeat the disease. and then new zealanders did something remarkable in our fight to beat covid—19. we united in unprecedented ways to crush the virus. we acknowledge those, however, that we have lost during the course of our battle against covid—19. but we have worked together as well as we could, to look after as many new zealanders as possible. the government is desperate to revive the economy, after weeks of some of the world's toughest lockdown measures. opposition politicians say the prime minister was too slow to remove most of the last remaining restrictions, but they concede that it is a day of celebration. you may now kiss your beautiful bride. authorities, though, are urging new zealanders to remain vigilant, stressing that the global pandemic will linger, with second waves a constant reality.

phil mercer, bbc news, sydney. a five—year—old boy who lost both his legs as a baby following abuse at the hands of his biological parents, is hoping to raise money for the hospital that saved his life. tony is aiming to walk 10 kilometres this month to raise money for the evelina children's hospital. and, just like his inspiration, 100—year—old captain tom, he's already raised much more than he'd ever hoped. jon donnison reports. a five—year—old inspired by a 100—year—old. tony, following in the fundraising footsteps of tom. we want to raise money, £500. isn't that right, mum? tony hudgell had to have both his legs amputated when he was just a baby, after suffering horrific abuse from his birth parents. a challenging life, but a boy not shy of a challenge. well, tony was learning to walk

with his crutches during lockdown, because obviously, we had a bit more time, and he saw captain tom on the telly and thought, actually, i could do that. we thought £500 would be great. but after appearing on bbc breakfast at the weekend, tony's online fundraising page has already topped £200,000, and counting. the money will go to the evelina london children's hospital, which has cared for him. i actually saw him on saturday morning and thought, what an inspiring and courageous little boy. and then i saw his t—shirt with evelina on and i thought, wow, it's for us! so, it was really good. tony has pledged to walk every day this month until he reaches ten kilometres. but there is one thing slowing him down. i mean, the community have been absolutely fantastic, so every day that we go on a walk, it takes longer and longer now because more people

are coming out to watch him. the support he's receiving is absolutely fantastic. tony, we've got a bit of a treat for you this morning. is it true you are a chelsea fan? oh, yes. and this morning at breakfast, he got the surprise of some celebrity support from the chelsea captain cesar azpilicueta. you are an inspiration to us all. when things return to normality, we'd like you to come to the training ground and meet all the players. take care, and hope to meet you very soon. training with chelsea, no doubt no problem for a boy with seemingly endless energy. well, almost. why do you make me do this stuff? laughter. jon donnison, bbc news. something in my eye. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. thank you, good afternoon. we had to wait for thank you, good afternoon. we had to waitfor rain, thank you, good afternoon. we had to wait for rain, dry in many parts of the uk but the rain came over
