neil save more lives going forward. neil ferguson had some very big forecasts and now he saying if we had done it and now he saying if we had done it a bit earlier, we would've have to the death rate. 40,000... there'll be a cloud for these conversations. i do think the scientists have a degree of between the two groups. at some point, the blame game will start. as professor patrick vallance said in the briefing, we are not through this yet. the figures... are so high. this is every, everything will

figure is an individual. people are in morning. let's move away from coronavirus and look at the international edition of the financial times. it has a picture of george floyd's younger brother who was speaking at the usjudiciary younger brother who was speaking at the us judiciary committee younger brother who was speaking at the usjudiciary committee hearing earlier on on police brutality. talking about the pain that he and his family experienced and seeing the video of his older brother. it was an emotional, emotional event today that we saw. yeah. it was it was difficult to hear but incredibly important. i think everyone whose watch that video has been horrified, traumatised by it. you can only imagine what it must feel like for that to be your brother and be

watching your brother basically be killed. i guess the key message that he gave was that this mustn't be in vain. there is a long list of people, especially in the us, but there are instances in the uk as well, where unarmed black men are killed by police and the consequences both for the individual weigel —— individuals involved but more important, through the system, don't seem to be there. it seems we have been arguing for a change for a really long time, and hopefully, george floyd will be as his brother called for, a turning point when it comes to the black lives matter movement and making a real difference. we know that president trump has announced his rallies, to make a america great again rallies are returning after a three month break. how is the conversation

changing in the united states, given the surge of emotion? notjust in the surge of emotion? notjust in the states but globally as well. trump needs these rallies to return because he looks good in them. he's a bit like borisjohnson in the house of commons. he needs an audience. without an audience, what's left? looking at boris johnson and recently two weeks, and the same reason with donald trump, he needs these rallies to get excited and enthused by what he saying. protesters have been disbursed using tear gas. floyd's brother philonise, i thought that was really interesting. how brave to go and talk to politicians and tell them

his brother's death was not in vain. my heart goes out to him. we hope when we would move on from all this with all the rows about statues, that this guy does get some judgement for his brother. deed japan times, nojustice, no peace. —— at the japan times. we don't have much time left. there's been criticism of the way the broadcasters approached the protest, suggesting that broadcaster was racist. this is a global movement. even in quite harmonious society like japan, racism exists and there are huge challenges for every society and government that we

have to find a way to fight racism. on that, we are going to leave it for the time being. thank you both for the time being. thank you both for joining for the time being. thank you both forjoining us here on the papers. if you're in the uk, chris and polly will be back in just over half an hour to look at more of the stories being covered by newspapers and websites here. goodbye for now. there's growing evidence that a second wave of coronavirus has hit iran. but, despite the increase in cases, there is no new lockdown in place yet for the 80 million people living there. bbc persian's rana rahimpour reports. could this be iran's second wave of coronavirus? the country was opened up from lockdown just about a month ago, and this is how it looks like now in one city.

buses are being used to transfer covid—i9 patients to the capital of this province. it is one of at least nine provinces where infections are rising rapidly. according to iran's ministry of health, this province in the south—east is now a red zone. the hospitals are full. their staff are overwhelmed. last week, iran recorded the highest daily increase in the number of coronavirus cases since the first were reported four months ago. many local officials say this is a second wave of infections, but iran's president insists that the term "second wave" creates too much fear among people. there are no signs of social distancing here. shoppers and street vendors don't seem too worried.

the authorities say this is the reason behind the recent spike — that people have ignored public health advice and travelled to other cities. translation: in the last 24 hours, we learned that about 60—70% of the new patients in tehran hospitals have travelled to other cities recently. this has happened during eid al—fitr holidays, as we were expecting. as life begins to look relatively normal in large parts of iran, most schools remain closed. but year 12 exams had to go ahead, which, according to this student, didn't feel safe. translation: they've taken our body temperature, but when we asked them about the results, we were told nothing. but they sent all the students to the exam zone. none of the desks were disinfected. when i wiped my desk with alcohol,

the wipe went completely black. iran's official number of confirmed cases is around 176,000 cases, when i wiped my desk with alcohol, the wipe went completely black. with over 8,000 deaths. yet many, including the iranian parliament, believe the correct number of infections is eight to ten times more, and the deaths are at least twice as much. the president has warned that, if people don't follow social distancing, the restrictions may be reimposed. but the economy, already badly hit by us sanctions and corruption, is on its knees. many say that iran can't afford another lockdown, even if the government wants to. rana rahimpour, bbc news. in the uk, the number of people who have died from covid—i9 has risen by 2115 to 41,128. the prime minister borisjohnson

announced a further easing of some lockdown restrictions for some in england, including the setting up of what he called social bubbles. the uk prime minister added that the measure is specifically targeted at single adults, and it's not possible for those who do not qualify to start meeting inside other people's homes — that remains against the law. i want to stress that support bubbles must remain exclusive. meaning you cannot switch the household you are in a bubble with to connect with multiple households. and if any member of the support bubble develops symptoms, all members of the bubble will need to follow the normal advice on household isolation. we are making this change to support those who are particularly lonely as a result of lockdown measures. it's a targeted intervention to limit the most harmful effects of the current social restrictions.

it is emphatically not designed for people who don't qualify to start meeting inside of peoples homes because that remains against the law. unfortunately, we cannot advise anyone who is shielding to form a support bubble at this stage given their particular vulnerability to the virus. however, i want to say i know how hard it is for those of you who are shielding and we will say more next week about the arrangements that will be in place for you by the end ofjune. also in the uk, a brief military ceremony to mark the queen's official birthday will be staged at windsor castle this saturday in place of trooping the colour, which was cancelled because of coronavirus. t of military drills — socially distanced of course —
