wallace said this week there was no place for the confederate flags in the sport. in recent days, anti—racism why?" protests here have been very peaceful. but new york is still coping with the aftermath of the earlier looting. we've seen the footage of broken windows and people running into manhattan's high—end retailers to grab he pleaded for his life, what they want. but in the borough of he said he couldn't breathe. the bronx, it was small businesses that were targeted, nobody cared, nobody. often owned by people of color. it's a double blow for stores already suffering from the lockdown. laura trevelyan reports. it was all part of an emotional hearing about what changes need to be made to police practices. the steel shutters were meant to protect the opticians some forces, like the one business that his family in minneapolis where worked so hard to build. george floyd was killed, the looters had a crowbar say they are going to reform and they smash their way in. anyway, but acknowledge the security camera training can't captured the distraction. solve all their ills. ruben and his wife i've struggled with, when i watched that video, jessica are reeling. that i did not see humanity — i did not see humanity. it's hurtful because you think about the peaceful protests and arguably a lack and george floyd and they are of humanity has been displayed by many police over the last two weeks, destroying his memory. but it's clear not all officers one thing doesn't have are going to welcome change. to do with the other.

it is small businesses, we are getting destroyed because, it's like they this isn't stained by someone in minneapolis, it's still got a shine on it and so do have an opportunity. theirs — so do theirs. this is their opportunity stop treating us like animals to destroy our community. and thugs and start treating so they're rebuilding in the bronx this week, us with some respect. rather than reopening, as new york city finally eases the coronavirus lockdown. back on capitol hill, the bronx borough there was a powerful testimony president has this from the sister of an officer message for looters who attacked businesses owned who was shot dead in violence on the streets two weeks ago. by people of colour. you can't say no justice no peace, you can't march my brother wore a uniform, against systemic racism and then take shots and break windows and loot the stores that he wore the uniform proudly. are owned by minorities that are addressing inherently systemic racism. i am wondering where is the outrage so many different inequalities are for a fallen officer that also colliding in the bronx right now. the looting of small businesses, the coronavirus epidemic, the disproportionately killed people of colour. happens to be african—american? the pain being felt by so many here is raw, but there are no easy solutions. aleem maqbool, bbc mass unemployment as news, washington. a result of the shutdown. meanwhile in new york, people because of all of that now, protesting against racism and police brutality more people are going hungry.

according to on the street and a pandemic a leading scientist. which is laid bare the fault professor neil ferguson says the outbreak had been doubling lines in american society. every three to four days before measures began. our political editor, many countries are now trying to ease lockdown conditions, laura kuenssberg, has more. but for some that's easier said than done. maintaining the necessary quite some claim made social distancing can be by professor neil ferguson, difficult in shops, who was one of the scientists part of the group advising offices and factories. the government on the science now, a british company has at the early stages found a novel solution, of this pandemic. as the bbc‘s tim allman explains. # i'm living in a box, # i'm living in a cardboard box...# funny to think that our economic salvation may lie in recycled cardboard. important to say that he actually stood down from that committee after claims about the fact he himself had been involved in breaking some of the lockdown rules, this company used to make but still a very eminent pallets and containers scientist and somebody for industry, but then who was absolutely critically along came covid—i9 and, with it, a need involved at those early stages. to embrace new ideas. as people have started talking to mps today, to come back to work, he suggested if the lockdown we have switched to making measures had been brought a range of distancing at work products such in a week earlier, as many as free—standing screens, as half the deaths counter screens could have been avoided. and desk partitions. now, of course, he was talking with the benefit of hindsight. the screens provide protection he himself said the information around at the time and the quality of the data in a work environment, was very, very poor.

but when asked about this today, the government scientist and the prime minister isolating staff were notably very reluctant from one another. you can also buy really to start talking quick—to—assemble cardboard desks for those about the decisions that had who are working from home. a neighbouring company has been made at that early stage. already embraced the idea in a big way, they kind of said, "well, look, although they were keen now is not the time." to add a personal touch. certainly from a political it is pretty extreme to put point of view, the government yourself into cardboard boxes wants to focus on what will so the reasons for cutting come next, but i think the windows and trimming them it is fair to say the list in those colours, was because i've got of criticisms that's being put a manchester united supporter at the government's door for their early handling sitting at my desk and of the crisis is getting i support liverpool, longer by the day. well, that could become but this is, of course, a very, very complicated situation in all of this. liverpool again, couldn't it? professor whitty, the chief medic, said today, "if you don't understand there is no comfortable way of handling this, then you haven't really understand all of this is relatively cheap, what's going on and plus it is environmentally what it's all about." friendly and, yes, they really that goes for the policies have been thinking outside and, and plans themselves, now, inside the box. but certainly for the tim allman, bbc news. politics of it too. a reminder of our top story: india is being hit hard by coronavirus, with more than quarter of a million the brother of george confirmed cases, hospitals floyd — whose death are stuggling to cope. in the custody of minneapolis police has triggered protests around the world — has urged congress to ensure he did not die in vain. he called on lawmakers in washington to work together to make

authorities in delhi have warned that coronavirus infections in the indian capital could shoot up to more than 500,000 by the end ofjuly. scientists are still not sure how many people get coronavirus from those who are infected but have no symptoms. the world health organization has admitted it's a big unknown, some think it's rare for the virus to spread that way, others fear those so—called asymptomatic cases are responsible for close to half of all infections. here's our science editor david shukman this is a message from the government's chief medical officer about coronavirus. if you, or anyone in your household... for months, government advice has focused on symptoms, how you must isolate if you get them. you should all stay at home. but what about people who don't look as if they have the disease, but are still carrying the virus? like paramedic chelsey mason, who had a test for coronavirus and expected to be clear.

i felt absolutely fine. i came into work and had the test done and then, a couple of days later, i got a call back saying it was positive. so, really shocked, because i had no symptoms whatsoever. so, how many cases are there without symptoms? a study at addenbrooke's hospital in cambridge found that 3% of the staff were positive, but didn't show it. in the us, at a care home in washington state, the numbers were higher. 56% of people with the virus had no indication of being ill. and on the diamond princess, a cruise ship offjapan, as many as 72% of positive cases showed no symptoms at all. so, why does it matter if people have the infection, but don't have any symptoms? well, for two reasons. first, if someone becomes infected, it may take five days before they show any signs of illness, but for the 48 hours before their symptoms start, they could be passing the virus on. then there's the category of people who catch the virus and at no stage have any

symptoms at all maybe for ten days or more, no—one really knows, and scientists are desperate to find out how much they can spread the virus. one of the first things i thought about really was, "oh, my god! i've done two night shifts, i've come into contact with, you know, six or seven patients per night. i've been with my crew mate for 12 hours." you know, as much as we minimise the risk, there is still that risk there. and with me being positive and not knowing about it, i could have passed it on. if you lower your window for me, i'll pass the test through to you... working out what's going on now is really difficult. the government is mainly testing people who may have symptoms. those who don't might slip through the net. so, scientists in norwich want to test the entire city — 100,000 people. they say it's the only way to discover who's spreading the virus. if you don't realise you're

ill, as we come out of lockdown and people are going to have more contacts than they did previously, the risk from those individuals is likely to increase. the upshot is that keeping a safe distance still matters, and where you can't, governments around the world are recommending face coverings — in case you've got the virus and don't know it. david shukman, bbc news. since a statue of the slave—trader edward colston was toppled in the english city of bristol at the weekend, there have been calls for similar monuments to be removed, across the uk. scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon says she wants to establish a special commission, to look at the issue. in edinburgh, the monument to the imperialist henry dundas has prompted fierce debate, as allan little reports. 200 years after he died, henry dundas still stands on his looming pedestal in edinburgh. for decades, he was the most powerful figure in scotland. he served as home secretary, extended british power in india, and notoriously delayed the abolition of the slave trade for 15 years.

at the weekend, his plinth was dogged with graffiti, as was as a street bearing his name. should he now be removed? we have curriculums at schools where people can deep dive into good people, bad people, and complex people, and also people of their time. 00:18:19,429 --> 2147483051:45:54,429 whether they need to be 2147483051:45:54,429 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 in a place where
