the number of uk deaths from coronavirus increases by 36 — the total number now stands at 41,698. a 20—year—old man dies and three others are stabbed after thousands of people attend two raves in greater manchester — despite the lockdown. and a virtual church service is held to remember the 72 people who died in the grenfell tower fire three years ago. good afternoon, you're watching bbc news. with me tim willcox. a white policeman involved

in the fatal shooting of a black man in the us city of atlanta has been sacked, after a night of unrest over the killing. the victim, rayshard brooks — who was 27 years old — was shot after a scuffle with officers in a drive—through restaurant car park. another officer involved has been put on leave, and the city's police chief has resigned. atlanta is one of many us cities to have seen protests since the killing last month of george floyd by police in minneapolis. a warning — you may find some of the images and details in andy moore's report distressing. it started as a very routine police incident. a man apparently asleep in his car, blocking the drive—through lane of a fast—food restaurant. guess somebody called 911 because you were asleep behind the wheel, while you were in the drive—through, right? rayshard brooks, who had been celebrating his daughter's birthday, said he was doing no harm. i'm not causing any problems. well, we got to make sure that you're safe to operate a vehicle. it was all filmed on police cameras, in footage released by independent investigators. blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, stop.

very good. after failing a breath test, the two white police officers tried to arrest him. put your hands behind your back. hey, hands off the taser. hands off the taser! he grabbed one of their fluorescent yellow tasers. hey! during a brief chase, mr brooks pointed the taser at the officers, and one of them responds by firing live ammunition. i firmly believe that there is a clear distinction between what you can do, and what you should do. i do not believe that this was a justified use of deadly force. as protests began at the scene of the incident, the police officer who fired the shots was sacked, his colleague was put on leave. their police chief, a white woman, resigned. lawyers for mr brooks said police had no right to kill somebody who was threatening to use a non—lethal weapon.

i could even say we wantjustice but i don't even care any more, i don't know what that is. and i've been doing this for 15 years. i don't know what justice is any more. is it getting them arrested, is it getting somebody fired? is it a chief stepping down? i know that this isn't justice, what's happening in society right now. investigators in georgia have launched inquiries into 48 police shootings so far this year — 15 have been fatal. andy moore, bbc news. the number of deaths from coronavirus in the uk has risen by 36, the lowest daily increase since the lockdown was brought in. as you can see, today's results continue the downward trend of daily deaths in the uk. the figures tend to be on comparatively low

as we know from recent weeks, on the weekend, because of the way they are recorded. the total number of deaths in the uk now stands at 41,698. the chancellor rishi sunak has said it will be down to government ministers to decide when the two—metre rule on social distancing can be relaxed in england. a formal review is due to report byjuly 4th — that is the day pubs and restaurants are set to reopen. tomorrow all nonessential shops in england can reopen, but as our business correspondent katy austin reports, the way we shop will have to change. the new covid—secure shopping experience. lockdown has been financially tough for non—food shops, and they share the concern of pubs and restaurants that social distancing will make operating profitably a challenge. please remember to shop safely by keeping two metres apart at all times. the prime minister has confirmed the two—metre guidance is under review, and today the chancellor said he would like to see it reduced.

it has an enormous impact on their ability to operate profitably and maintain that employment that we care about. it also has an impact for public transport, schools and many other things, but, much as i would like to see it reduced, everyone would like to see that reduced from an economic perspective, we can only do that if it is safe and responsible to do so. marks & spencer has kept on selling basic clothes from food halls like this one, and will re—open its clothes and home spaces from monday. it has been a really big challenge for all the staff to move the store around several times over the past few weeks, but we are really proud of the effort they have put in, and we are really looking forward to monday and welcoming all our clothing customers back in. numbers of people in store here will be limited, and there are one—way systems. different retailers will have slightly different processes. at marks & spencer there are hand sanitising stations round the store, you can browse the rails and touch the clothes, but the fitting rooms are closed. from tomorrow, all shops in england selling nonessential goods can

welcome customers back if they can put safety measures in place. northern ireland started its re—opening on friday, while there is no date yet for shops in scotland and wales. not all shops in england will re—open at once, and the big question is how many people do come out and spend? it really is all dependent on the confidence of us all as members of the public, and hence the importance of retailers putting safety at the centre of everything. meanwhile, politicians are trying to find the right balance between breathing life into the stricken economy, and doing what the scientists say is safe. katy austin, bbc news. borisjohnson has been visiting the westfield shopping centre in east london to see how shops are preparing ahead of their reopening tomorrow. he outlined more details

about the government review of the social distancing rules. we will work very closely with the scientists at all times and make the right decision on the basis of safety, health and stopping the disease. the question for us is, as we get the numbers down, so, you know, it becomes one in 1,000, one in 1,600, maybe even fewer, your chances of being two metres, or one metre, or even 25... ..a foot away, from somebody who has the virus are obviously going down statistically. so you start to build some more margin for manoeuvre and we'll be looking at that and keeping it under constant review as we go forward to the next step in our plan which is, as you know, july 4th. so we'll be keeping it under review forjuly 4th.

but this is a political decision. yes. you're the prime minister. it would have always been down to you. the evidence is there without a review so why notjust change it now? because the guidance at the moment is that there are benefits. you will have seen what sage said. there are benefits in terms of, i don't know how you would express this, the projectile of the... the cloud? that's right, thank you. there are benefits in terms of preventing the disease from two metres. now, clearly, statistically those benefits, while important, become less valuable as we get the disease down. but what i don't want to do is sacrifice the huge efforts of the british people in beating this disease. we've done a fantasticjob, the country has come together to squash the incidence of the disease down and that gives us the potential now to look at those rules. as our political correspondent jessica parker explained, mrjohnson is trying to find a balance between helping the economy, and avoiding a resurgence of the virus. you

there is this balance still to be struck between trying to ensure that this move to bear down on the virus, cut and transmission rates, isn't undone by moving too quickly. but clearly there is a timings issue here. you have nonessential retail, as it is called, clothes shops and that kind of thing, opening from tomorrow and this hope that hospitality, pubs, restaurants, cafe is can open from earlyjuly. cafes can open from earlyjuly. and for those businesses there is clearly a huge benefit if they can cut it to one metre, they can fit more customers in their venues. it is about economic survival, isn't it? it is notjust about how much money we can make, a lot of them are saying businesses will not survive if they can't really start to open up and ramp up the number of people they can get through the door. there are warnings that millions ofjobs could be at risk in the hospitality sector. but it doesn't appear that science is behind it, the government's whole mantra all the way through has been we are following the science or whatever. sage is warning or it is thought, isn't it, that there are big risks if you do shorten this distance.

there was some scientific advice that was published on friday and it talks about how the risk if you go from two metres to one metre can be up to ten times greater, although there are caveats in that, it depends if you are indoors or outside, and if you are side to side or back to back the risk is very much cut, so there are considerations and what you are going to see is clearly businesses trying to take mitigation steps to try and stop the spread of the virus. but the problem is that old adage, the old phrase from margaret thatcher, advisers advise, ministers decide, this is something he's got to do. absolutely. yeah, absolutely. the government throughout this pandemic has talked about taking a science—led approach. but ultimately there is a balance of risk. you have the risk of the virus spreading but also the risk to the economy and you have a broader public health risk. if lots of people end up unemployed because of the impact on the economy of coronavirus that will have serious health implications as well, so these are all the things borisjohnson is weighing up,

but you are right it is up to ministers ultimately to decide on this issue. jessica parker speaking to me earlier. i have also been speaking to doctor bharat pankhania. a senior clinical lecturer at university of exeter who has more than 20 years experience in communicable disease control and infectious disease management. he explained that it's important to take extra precautions like wearing a face mask. i always feel the greater the distance the better. there is nothing we can do. the government has decided it wants to make it one metre. nothing we can do. and my advice to our viewers, listeners and anyone is be careful. if you are in an at—risk group, be very careful. 0therwise, if you are going to be closer to people, wear a face mask, a face covering, or something like that. the closer you get the greater the risk and you be careful. and so the chances are the number,

the r number, will increase, more people will unfortunately get coronavirus, even with a face covering? unfortunately, with respect to lifting the lockdown, which i also feel is premature, i am so sorry to be disagreeing with prime ministerjohnson, i'm not here to disagree but the evidence is there, it is too early to lift the lockdown. what can you do? it's going to happen anyway. therefore, isay, yes, of course we will expect more cases because the background level is high, people will get infected as they move around and mingle with each other. this is under review as the prime minister was saying but ultimately it is a political decision. the economy has been hammered by events so far and they need to pick up, and many more millions ofjobs potentially are at risk. in terms of a pragmatic decision, surely you as a doctor and a scientist, someone who studies these things, that is

the trade—off, isn't it? yes, and hence my additional advice, which is inevitably it is going to become one metre, and therefore, the closer you approach to fellow humans the greater the risk. mitigate against this risk. it is not 100% fail—safe, but if you were a face mask reduces the volume of infectious droplets that may be coming your way, so the closer you get the greater the precautions you must take, the precautions you must take. scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon says she remains confident that she will be able to move the country is ready to move to phase two of its lockdown easing restrictions later this week. speaking at today's daily briefing the snp leader will update the scottish parliament on thursday and that measures may only move partially, and the two metre rule on social distancing will remain under review. as things stand now,

i'm optimistic that we will be able to enter that next phase and announce some further important steps on ourjourney back to normality. the reason for my cautious optimism is that since we last announced changes we have continued to see a downward trend in covid—19 cases and also in the weekly number of deaths. in addition, the r number has fallen slightly and is now between 0.6 and 0.8 and it is crucial it remains under 1. i hope for example that as well as allowing a bit more social interaction from thursday, we will also be able to move forward with the re—mobilisation of the nhs and also indicate a date from which our retail sector can begin to reopen. all of that and any other changes that we are able to announce on thursday will be in line with the careful approach we set out.

nicola sturgeon speaking in edinburgh. a 20—year—old man has died of a suspected drug overdose, and three others were stabbed, as thousand of people attended two raves in manchester last night. the 20—year—old attended a gathering of around 4,000 in droylsden. in carrington there were reports of three separate stabbings at another party with 2,000 people. one 18 year—old—man is said to have life threatening injuries. hundreds of police attended both of these events. officers were also attacked at the carrington rave. a p pa re ntly attacked at the carrington rave. apparently the parties were billed as quarantine raves. a police spokesman said the violence against officers was absolutely not a cce pta ble officers was absolutely not acceptable and would not be tolerated. the huge clean—up operation a few hours later, a p pa re ntly operation a few hours later, apparently a lot of rubbish and

debris left at the sites of these raves. one onlooker said it was like clearing out time at a club in normal life. we will have more on that throughout the course of the afternoon. you're watching bbc news. the headlines on bbc news. there's a night of unrest in the us city of atlanta after a white police officer fatally shot 27 year old rayshard brooks. borisjohnson orders a review of the two metre social distancing rule in england, ahead of nonessential shops re—opening tomorrow. a further 36 people have died from coronavirus in the uk — the lowest daily increase since the start of lockdown. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's olly foster. the final round is under at fort worth in texas, the first pga tournament since the start of the global lockdown three months ago. it

has been taking place behind closed doors. rory mcilroy and justin rose are both in contention. the american xander shauffele leads on 13—under. but there are five players tied for second a shot further back. rose is on 10—under even with a double bogey at the fifth and then two bogeys on his back nine. mcilroy is level with rose. they will tee off in the next few hours. it is a tightly packed leaderboard, but he is missing the atmosphere usually generated by the packed galleries. it's funny. i feel for a saturday afternoon being in contention on the pga tour, it felt sort of weird out there. the first couple of days it was fine but definitely today it is feeling strange and i'm sure tomorrow will feel pretty strange, especially with so many guys in and around the lead. we are three days away from the return of the premier league, a norwich city player has tested positive for coronavirus. he played against spurs

in a friendly on friday. that was one ofjust two positive results from 1,200 tests taken across the league in line with the premier league's protocols, the norwich player will now self—isolate for a period of seven days before being tested again. tottenham say there was no close contact for any sustained period with the player during the friendly so none of their squad will have to self—isolate. spain's la liga continues with three more matches, today. real madrid play later against eibar. a win would see them trim barcelona's lead to two points again. they won yesterday. atletico madrid slipped up earlier, a win would have seen them move into the top four but they could only draw 1—1 at athletic bilbao. both goals came in the first half. the former chelsea striker diego costa with their equaliser, just a couple of minutes after bilbao had taken the lead. serena williams' coach patrick mouratoglou says he's

backing the us open organisers as they look to stage the tournament on 31st august. top players have been critical. novak djokovic calling the safety protocols "extreme" and rafa nadal wants every player to be able to travel freely and safely before tournaments return. regarding the whole us open, i understand the usta wants to make it happen because financially they need it, andi happen because financially they need it, and i saw they had to fire a lot of people and it's really sad. so i'm supporting of course the usta for that reason. on the other hand, ican for that reason. on the other hand, i can understand also that some players don't want to play if the conditions are too difficult, if they have to stay in the same hotel 24/7 for three weeks just going to the stadium to practice and come back to the hotel and have brea kfast, back to the hotel and have breakfast, lunch and dinner there and not being able to move from there. the former england cricketer ebony rainford—brent says her sport has to be rebuilt from the grassroots to attract more black players.

research conducted by leeds beckett university found that only 9 out of 362 professional players in england were black. it's an issue she has begun to address in her role as director of women's cricket at surrey. what we have done, we have an academy set up now, obviously covid has got in the way of their training but as soon as they can they will be back to it and some have some real talent to move straight into the performance pathway which is exciting. but underneath that i'm talking to a lot of funders about how we really build and reconstruct the grassroots. that's the issue with our sport, i think, i love this sport and everything it stands for, but we still predominantly pick from the elitist environments, independent schools and certain clubs. so now it's time that we really look at what our programmes are delivering and make sure that there are routes and pathways in and reduce the barriers for different communities to access the sport. some worrying news reaching us from

the bundesliga, mainz currently playing augsburg, and the nigerian winger who plays for mainz, who is actually on loan from the club from liverpool has been taken to hospital with what seem to be serious head injuries, he left the field with his neckin injuries, he left the field with his neck in a brace, he was responsive but seemed to be motionless for a while, the nigerian winger taiwo awoniyi who is on loan at mainz, and has been taken to hospital. we will give across that and on the bbc sport website. we will have more for you a little bit later. ok, thank you, see you then. a man has been arrested after a photograph emerged of someone urinating next to the memorial of a policeman killed in 2017 in the westminster bridge attack. the 28—year—old man handed himself into police following the incident at the site where pc keith palmer was murdered. home secretary

priti patel called the act shameful. there were more than 100 arrests in total in the westminster area yesterday following violent protests. police in glasgow have averted a clash between people calling for the removal of a statue of the former prime minister robert peel due to his father's involvement with the slave trade, and others who wa nted with the slave trade, and others who wanted it to stay. hundreds of people who were gathered around the statue began running towards the group who want it removed. missiles were flying between the two groups, as police — with their batons drawn — formed a line across the street. the shadow justice secretary, david lammy has accused the government of burying findings from a preliminary report looking at the disproportionate effect of covid—19 on people from black, asian or minority ethnic backgrounds. are less likely to seek care when needed.

the government has promised to publish the report next week. speaking to andrew marr, mr lammy urged ministers to do more to protect ethnic minorities. at the moment across this country it's hard to be black or asian and not know someone, or someone who knows someone who has died. i've lost an uncle, i've lost a classmate who died at 45 due to this terrible virus. but the point is it is a scandal if one week borisjohnson and matt hancock say black lives matter, and then we find out today that they've buried part of the review that had the recommendations in it to do something about it. david lammy speaking on the andrew marr programme. now we can get some more details from matt hancock. 36

more details from matt hancock. 36 more deaths recorded with coronavirus, the lowest since 21st of march. we are winning the battle against this horrible disease. that comes against this horrible disease. that co m es after against this horrible disease. that comes after borisjohnson announced a review of the two metres social distancing rules, and we will explain ina distancing rules, and we will explain in a bit more detail about when that might change and what scientific advice as he was at some shops in westfield in east london ahead of the reopening of some nonessential shops tomorrow. today marks three years since the grenfell tower fire, and to mark the anniversary, people are being encouraged to illuminate their homes with green lights to remember the 72 people who died. church bells will also sound across london. the grenfell united campaign group says the fight for safe homes and justice continues, as our correspondent rajini vaidya nathan reports. # hallelujah, hallelujah. ..#

an empty church, filled with the memories of those who died in grenfell tower. in times of coronavirus, it is one of a number of services being streamed online today. a reminder not to forget the 72 people lost in a tragedy which exposed some of the deep inequalities in our society. hesham rahman lived alone on the 23rd floor. his family say marking this anniversary during a pandemic is especially tough. we are still going through the grieving process, and the rest of the country right now is grieving because of covid and people have lost families and friends ahead of their time, and we are grieving with them, and you know, covid brought a lot of bad emotions for us, especially for how things were after the fire, because there are a lot of similarities, you know, glued to the tv, listening to the numbers of deaths rising every day. the fire began on the fourth floor after a fridge caught fire.

a public inquiry blamed cheap combustible cladding on the building for its rapid spread. today, the prime minister delivered this message to the families of loved ones. i want you to know that i remain absolutely committed to uncovering the causes of the tragedy, and ensuring it is never repeated. but a government target to remove flammable cladding from high rises by this month has yet to be met. about 2,000 tower blocks in england alone are still potentially at risk. the government keep making these announcements, but it materialising and actually happening is a complete different story. throughout the day, people are coming together online, to remember what happened. in one of london's wealthiest areas, some of its poorest weren't protected. grenfell tower's been described as a monument to inequality. what happened here three years ago is as relevant today, as it was then. rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news.

you're watching bbc news. in portugal, a senior police source who has seen the german evidence against the key suspect in the investigation into madeleine mccann's disappearance, has told the bbc it is ‘very important‘ and ‘significant‘. residents in the tourist resort of praia da luz have criticised the portuguese operation for being too slow. some say they were contacted by police about christian b in the past couple of years. our europe correspondent lucy williamson has been speaking to people who remember him from his time in the resort. new perspectives are hard to spot from the cliffs above praia da luz. the view from here has barely changed since madeleine mccann disappeared. this patch of scrubland dotted with crumbling ruins is where the british police searched

six years ago for clues. we now know thatjust a few hundred metres away over this small ridge was the house where christian b lived in the years before she vanished. coincidence, or a missed opportunity? when police were searching here six years ago, they'd already been given christian bs name among hundreds of potential suspects, but were they aware that this man, with previous convictions for child sexual offences, had lived for years overlooking this land? a neighbour told me the first time police had contacted her was last year. christian b had been a difficult tenant, she said, squatting in the house without paying rent. after he was no longer there, which was about 2005, a friend and i, together with the owner, cleaned the place out and it was in a terrible state, really. it had been ransacked, and the food had been left.

it looked like he left in a hurry, but we probably weren't there maybe four or five months after he left, unaware he was no longer there. christian bs name has appeared in four separate requests for international cooperation received by the portuguese police. he already had a record of child sexual offences, but he's never been a key suspect until now. praia da luz is 90% english visitors. maybe nobody thought to check german criminal records, or french, or spanish, or anything else. madeleine's photo has become a symbol here in praia da luz of police failure and press intrusion. lucy williamson, bbc news, praia da luz. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz schafernaker. a fine day for most of us with clear blue skies or scattered fair weather clouds. there is a chance of thunderstorms. showers have been brewing and will continue to brew
