this is bbc news. the headlines: borisjohnson orders a review of the two—metre social distancing rule in england, ahead of nonessential shops re—opening tomorrow. 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. the number of uk deaths from coronavirus increases by 36 — the lowest daily increase since the start of lockdown. there's unrest in the us city of atlanta after 27—year—old rayshard brooks is shot dead by police officers — the family's lawyer expresses his despair. i could even say we want justice 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. 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. 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 the 4th — 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 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 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 non—essential 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 two—metre rule in england. we'll 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 becomesi in 1000, i in 1600, maybe even fewer, your chances of being, you know, 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 the 4th. so we'll be keeping it under review forjuly before. review forjuly the 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 the... i don't know how to express this. the projectile of the... the cloud? 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. that gives us the potential now to look at those rules. scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon says she remains confident that she will be able to move the country when its ready to move the country to phase two of its lockdown, meaning a possible easing of restrictions last 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 right now, i remain optimistic that on thursday, while we might not be able to do absolutely everything we hope to do in phase two,

we will nevertheless be able to enter that next phase and announce further important steps on ourjourney back to normality. the reason for my cautious optimism is 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, which as you know is the rate at which the virus reproduces, has fallen slightly and is now between 0.6 and 0.8, and it's crucial that it remains underi. so 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 remobilisation 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

that we set out in our route map. 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 do tend to be on comparatively low on the weekend, because of the way they are recorded. the total number of deaths in the uk now stands at 41,698. in response to those latest figures,the health matt hancock, said "we are winning the battle against this dreadful disease." 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 want justice 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 the 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. and we'll be speaking to mary—pat hector — a 22—year—old activist who's been organising some of protests in atlanta. 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 on saturday 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 2000 people. one 18 year—old—man is said to have life threatening injuries. 0livia richwald is in droylsden for us now.

just droylsden for us now. because through the figures when just because through the figures. when police attended and knew about this huge gathering which i think was billed as a quarantine rave? the figures are quite shocking. this country park is a really nice spot. todayit country park is a really nice spot. today it is full of families enjoying exercising in the sunshine. last night, it was the scene of a rave attended by 4000 people, that's a figure supplied by the police. a20—year—old mild sadly died from a suspected drug overdose. this was not the only rave in greater manchester last night, there was a second rave in carrington attended by about 2000 people. both of those gatherings are illegal, they go against the coronavirus restrictions and they have been condemned by the police today. here in the droylsden, the police say they were not met by

violence. however, there is a terrible mess left at the scene. there are bags of rubbish, there are little canisters of nitrous oxide littering the place. police, local authorities and volunteers have spent much of the day cleaning up some of that mess but it is still there to see. there is a very strong smell of alcohol in that area as well. police say the radio did not involve a ny well. police say the radio did not involve any violence. however, the rave in a pod to did have violence. there were 3 separate stabbing incidents, the police say they had outbreaks thrown at them and a police car was vandalised. this com pletely police car was vandalised. this completely contravened the coronavirus restrictions and has been widely condemned by the police, not to mention the terrible mess left behind. i can speak now to councillor sean fielding, the leader of old ham council. the droylsden gathering took

place in the borough. the police have condemned theirs. you have been involved in that they clea n you have been involved in that they clean up this morning. what's your message to the people that took part in that rave last night? an illegal rave rightly attracts condemnation for the people and any time, but in the middle of a coronavirus pandemic, it has a whole new dimension of how selfish those who organise that i do tended are. the mess they left, all widespread reports of substance misuse, alcohol abuse, and at the news that's sadly someone abuse, and at the news that's sadly someone lost their life at the side. my someone lost their life at the side. my message to people there who might be thinking of organising or attending the sort of things is, we are all happy to make sacrifices at this time. it's frustrating for most people, is frustrating for me that most of my business has to be conducted on a webcam rather than in person and that i can go for a drink ona person and that i can go for a drink on a sunday afternoon, but these are

the sacrifices that we have to make so the sacrifices that we have to make so that we not risking spreading coronavirus and putting even more people at risk. as well as the others ones ability, that is a wider point that in these sorts of numbers, the police cannot simply impose the law? —— irresponsible delete. we impose the law? —— irresponsible we have to make sure that we do as much preventative policing as we can to stop people policing that we kind from attending in at the first place. i was notified it time last night that there was likely to be a gathering of young people in the form of a rave at this location, and has some preventative policing would ta ke has some preventative policing would take place. i received a message shortly afterwards that the numbers of people gathering were so large that it was beyond a point of which the event could be stopped from taking place, so it simply became about management. but we need to be much more effective in future,

learning from this experience. if we get intelligence that things are going to happen, we need to do everything we can to stop them from taking place in at the first place rather than waiting for things to pass off. what more can you see big demonstrations, black lives matter, there was a big demonstration in london yesterday by people saying they wanted to protect national monuments, gathering in on these huge numbers, what more can police and councillors do apart from encouraging people? that is not making any impact at all, is it? that is a difference between protesting and taking part in an illegal rave. forgive me, but is there? they are still breaking the social distancing guidelines or the law? when we receive good intelligence of event such as an illegal rave, we should be doing preventative policing to stop the event from happening in the first place. the rave is illegal, the police are well within at the right

to prevent it from happening in the first place. gatherings of more than six people are illegal. well the police need to be using all the intelligence they have to prevent these events from taking place where possible. i think that's what we need to lead from the sandy questions we need to be asking from the police in the future. thank you very much forjoining us. let's return to the news that atlanta's police chief has resigned after the fatal shooting of an african—american man during an arrest. rayshard brooks, 27, was shot by an officer during a struggle at a drive—through restaurant late on friday. let's speak now to mary—pat hector — a 22—year old activist who's been organising some of protests in atlanta. she saw the fire last night. there were scuffles and violence on the streets and the last 2041 was. terrible images again. we saw the smoke term just in the moments leading up to his death. the police chief has stood down, no police officer allegedly involved has been

dismissed, and another move to other duties. is it now time to call for calm until there is a thorough investigation carried out? absolutely not. i believe the police chief stepped down, i guess, to get away from some of the scrutineer. the community has been asking how to do herjob for quite some time. i would like to see the entire top of the force completely removed so that we can get people in these positions that care about really eradicating some of these violent forms of policing which we are seeing he era in the city of atalanta, also, the state of georgia and the country. i believe that her resigning is not enough, then used to be more. the man mike family wants justice for his death. my question is, is it time to appeal for calm and you say absolutely not. is that what you

mean? is this time to protest peacefully because of what has happened? this is a time to protest peacefully, but what you saw in atla nta peacefully, but what you saw in atlanta last night was morning. there were 15 straight days, this will be the 17th day, of protest. the first day they get a little rowdy. what you saw a car last night was mourning. the people who set fire to that building were not african—american or fighting for the life of man mike. there will be elements of any demonstration he will seek to cause violence of the police. what are the longer term processes involved here when something like this happens? atlanta police have been involved with other targeting people in at the last few weeks, where they were charged or accused of using excessive force.

what is the wider message do you think to all the communities here, not only your own community but the police community as well? police reform, legislation that holds police officers accountable. really a look at the police unions and their contracts with some of these cities. when i think about policy in which we can begin to see cities implement, i would love to see police living within communities in which the police. there is no reason why a police officer should be policing a committee in which they don't live and which they don't know how to connect with the people that they are supposed to be coming into contact with and serving to protect. doesn't help when they come out of the police chief changes? because the police chief changes? because the deputy who has now assumed the position of police chief is a black american. i think a lot of people focus on colour. when we are protesting out there, we are not just protesting against white cops, we are protesting against the

police. it is the system itself. it has nothing to do with white cop versus black clock. it is that the system that needs to change. in this case, the two officers involved were both white. yes. in terms of the investigation, what is the time frame involved now? one officer dismissed, one move to other duties. how quickly will thus be mitigated and how quickly do you want to see some sort of result? i don't think one of the officers should be moved to other duties, i think they should have been fired without pay on the spot until we were able to see the footage that we have now. you don't toss a ny footage that we have now. you don't toss any sort of due process of the investigation? surely you wouldn't fire to people without being investigated? i think they should be investigated. however, ithink investigated? i think they should be investigated. however, i think were far too long, this is the iron guard pa rt far too long, this is the iron guard part that people of colour feel right now, for far too long we have

allowed officers to get away with killing and murdering people. yes, you mentioned that officers in the case of ahmaud arbery and george floyd were arrested, but we have seen floyd were arrested, but we have seen this story before. these offices get arrested and they don't get charged. they get arrested, they get charged. they get arrested, they get out, and they don't get charge, we never really receive justice. for me, ifeel in we never really receive justice. for me, i feel in my heart of hearts that this might be the same thing. the only reason why a lot of people are not as outrage or don't understand is because the leadership in our city understand is because the leadership in ourcity and understand is because the leadership in our city and writer are african—american. in our city and writer are african-american. in the case of george floyd, the officers that there'd have been to court and released on bail, but charges in the court case are pending. a man has been arrested after a photograph emerged of a man urinating next to the memorial of a policeman killed in the 2017 westminster attack.

a 28—year—old man handed himself in to police following the incident at the site where pc keith palmer was murdered. the home secretary called the act utterly shameful. there were more than 100 arrests 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 former prime minister, robert peel, due to to his father's involvement with the slave trade, and others who want it to stay. hundreds of people gathered around the statue began running towards the group who want it removed. missiles could be seen flying between the two groups, as police — with their batons drawn — formed a line across the street. the first minister nicola sturgeon called it "shameful behaviour. " a man in his 50s has died in hospital after he was injured

in a shooting in roydon, near harlow yesterday. police were called to a property in water lane in the early hours of saturday morning after reports that gunshots had been fired from a car at a group of people who were outside a house. the suspects fled the scene and police say they are now treating it as murder. 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. bbc news has seen a leaked copy of the report that concludes historic racism and poorer experiences of health care, or in the workplace, may mean people in those groups 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 know 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. the point is — it's 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. 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 keeps 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.

now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz. a fine day out there, for most of us at least, with clear blue skies or scattered fair—weather clouds. a bit like yesterday, that is a chance of thunderstorms. showers had been brewing, they will continue to brew into the afternoon and into the evening. the risk of actually getting a downpour with thunder, lightning and hailfor any one location in the uk is pretty low, so many of us will miss the storms. the temperature today will nudge up to around about the mid 20s, they will still be hovering in the low 20s and early evening across many parts of the uk, but cooler on the north sea coast but it has been cloudy, gloomy, quite misty and foggy. here's the forecast for monday. again, a lot of sunshine around, but we are expecting further showers to develop, this time across more northern parts of the country, so yorkshire, lancashire, the north—west of england likely to catch some showers and thunderstorms. to the south, it should be

mostly sunny and warm. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: borisjohnson orders a review of the two—metre social distancing rule in england, ahead of non—essential shops reopening tomorrow. 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. the number of uk deaths from coronavirus increases by 36 — the lowest daily increase since the start of lockdown. there's unrest in the us city of atlanta after 27—year—old rayshard brooks is shot dead by police officers. the family's lawyer expresses his despair. i could even say we want justice, 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. a 20—year—old man dies of a suspected drug overdose 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. 0ne headlines at the top of the hour. —— more headlines. now on bbc news, global questions invites its international audience to put their questions to a panel of experts on the impact of the pandemic. hello, and welcome to london for this edition of global questions with me, zeinab badawi. the killing of george floyd has sent shock waves around the world and has reignited long—held demands for an end to racism and white privilege, which has been maintained at the expense of others within communities, countries

and at the international level.
