after thousands of people attend two raves in greater manchester — despite the lockdown. a virtual church service is held to remember the 72 people who died in the grenfell tower fire three years ago. this is the scene at st paul's cathedral as the bells ring out 72 times to pay tribute to those who lost their lives. this is the scene live above grenfell tower. earlier, families also joined together online to commemorate the anniversary. singer adele was among those who sent messages of support. it's still important for us to mourn together and for us to remember that night and to reflect on that, and also reflect on where

we are now with that. but also to celebrate the lives that were lived before they were sadly taken that night. good evening, and welcome to bbc news. 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 non—essential 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 our

clothing customers back in. numbers of people instore 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 becomes1 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 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 you'd 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. 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. 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, 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. 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. earlier i spoke to dr 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. my advice to our viewers, listeners and anyone is — be careful. so, if you are in an at—risk group, be very careful. otherwise, if you're

going to be closer to people, wear a face mask or face covering, or something like that. the closer you get, the greater the risk — you've got to be careful. so, the chances are, the r number will increase, more people will unfortunately get coronavirus, even with a face covering? unfortunately, with respect to the lifting of the lockdown, which i also feel is premature.... i'm so sorry to be 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, i say, 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.

many more millions ofjobs potentially are at risk. in terms of a pragmatic decision, surely you as a doctor or a scientist, as somebody who studies these things, that is the trade—off, isn't it? yes, and hence, my additional advice. which is, inevitably, it's going to become one metre, and therefore, the closer you approach to fellow humans, the greater the risk. mitigate against this risk. it's not 100% fail—safe, but if you wear a face mask, it 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 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 111,698. in response to those latest figures, the health secretary, matt hancock, has tweeted, "we are winning the battle against this dreadful disease." scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, says she remains confident that she will be able to move the country to phase two of its lockdown —— meaning an easing of lockdown restrictions last this week. speaking at today's daily briefing, the snp leader will update the scottish parliament on thursday, 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 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, 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 under1. 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. church bells across london are tolling 72 times in tribute

to each person who died in the grenfell fire — bell tolls. st paul's cathedral a few minutes ago as the bells tolled to mark the third aniversary of the grenfell. people are being asked to light up their homes tonight with a special green video, as bereaved relatives and survivors mark the anniversary. this is our aerial shot of the

tower. you can see the huge poster at the top. the building still irate but clad in a protective white shield now as the people remember three years on the number of people who died in that terrible fire three yea rs who died in that terrible fire three years ago today. we can go down to the bottom of the tower as well. i'm sorry, i think we have lost that short now. people have been paying their respects over the last few hours to the 72 victims. the support group, grenfell united, is marking the third year anniversary online with special film put together by bereaved families and survivors. the singer adele, who visited grenfell shortly after the fire, sent this message to those mourning loved ones. i want to send my love to all of you today and let you know that i'm thinking of you — as i always do. even though we are having to do this

in the virtual world, online, 2020 zoom life, as it is — it's still important for us to mourn together and for us to remember that night and to reflect on that, and also reflect on where we are now with that. but also to celebrate the lives that were lived before they were sadly taken that night. margaret aspinall, from the hillsborough family support group, urged campaigners to keep on fighting forjustice. i know at the moment it is a hard struggle for you all as it has been for the hillsborough families over 30 odd years. i would ask you all, please do not give up no matter what happens for the future or now. please never give up, you will fight for what you believe in and you will eventually achieve the outcome that you rightfully deserve. a bereaved family member voiced this message —

saying that survivors will continue their fight forjustice. three years on from grenfell, the emotion is still raw. we still don't know the answers but we know the refurbishment of the tower was illegal and preventative, a preventable chocolatier — — illegal and preventative, a preventable chocolatier —— tragedy caused by cost—cutting. a landlord that failed us, driven by arrogance and greed. three years on, companies, corporations, national and local governments want us to be for —— forget. they want us to be forgotten but we will never be forgotten. the video goes on to name those of the campaign group who is responsible for events three years ago. saying that the tith would eventually come out. the public inquiry into the disaster was paused in march because of the coronavirus pandemic and is due to restart on 6july.

the headlines on bbc news: borisjohnson orders a review of the two metre social distancing rule in england, ahead of non—essential shops re—opening tomorrow. there's a night of unrest in the us city of atlanta after a white police officer fatally shot 27 year old rayshard brooks. 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. 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 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. 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 who were 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 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 were reports of three separate stabbings at another party with 2000 people. 0ne18—year—old—man is said to have life threatening injuries. earlier i spoke to our correspondent 0livia richwald, who's been in droylsden. the figures are quite shocking. this country park is a really nice spot. today it's been full of families enjoying exercising in the sunshine. last night, it was the scene of a rave attended by a shocking 4000 people, that's a figure supplied by the police.

a 20—year—old man 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's still there to see. there is a very strong smell of alcohol in that area as well. police say the reve here did not involve any violence. police say the rave here did not involve any violence. however, the rave in carrington was a different story.

they say they were met with violence when they attended that rave. there were three separate stabbing incidents, the police say they had objects thrown at them and a police car was vandalised. obviously, this completely contravenes the coronavirus restrictions and it has been widely condemned by the police, not to mention the terrible mess left behind. i also spoke to councillor sean fielding, the leader of old ham council. that droylsden gathering took place in the borough. i began by asking him what message he has for the ravers. an illegal rave rightly attracts condemnation from people in any time, but in the middle of a coronavirus pandemic, it has a whole new dimension of how selfish those who organised and attended are. the mess they left, widespread reports of substance misuse, alcohol

abuse, and the sad news that sadly 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, it's frustrating for me that most of my business has to be conducted on a webcam rather than in person, and that i can't go for a drink on a sunday afternoon, but these are the sacrifices that we have to make so that we not risking spreading coronavirus and putting even more people at risk. there is a wider point that in these sorts of numbers, the police cannot simply impose the law? we have to make sure that we do as much preventative policing as we can to stop people from attending in at the first place.

i was notified last night that there was likely to be a gathering of young people in the form of a rave at this location, and that some preventative policing would take place. i received a message shortly afterwards that the numbers of people gathering were so large that it were so large that it was beyond the point at which the event could be stopped fromtaking 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. 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 healthcare, 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 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 a5, 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. india has announced new emergency measures for the capital, delhi, as it struggles to cope with a surge in coronavirus cases. testing will be rapidly increased, and 500 railway carriages will be converted to create 8,000 more beds for coronavirus patients.

the bbc‘s south asia editor, jill mcgivering, explained why the government are taking these steps now. ba rely barely is now seen quite a rapid increase in the number of cases. —— dehli. officials say they suspect it could be half a million cases by the end of next month, at the moment, they just do not end of next month, at the moment, theyjust do not have the provision for the number of beds that they would need, so they are trying very quickly to roll out new and in are innovative measures to try and address that shortfall. the central government is giving dehli a 500 railway carriages that they say they will convert anchored out and they will convert anchored out and they will be available for patients with the coronavirus. the chief minister also announced today that he is going to requisition all these small and medium—sized nursing homes that are available, again, possibly another 5000 beds. there are also talking about a new field hospital, they are looking at sites for that

at the moment, the possibility of using hotel rooms and possibly even banquet hall normally used for wedding. they are desperately trying to keep up with the rate of infections. 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. 0ur 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 scrub land, 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? today, a senior portuguese police source who has seen the german evidence told me it was very important and significant, and that the portuguese were keen to co—operate. when police were searching here six years ago, they had already been given christian b's 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 the police had contacted her was last year. christian b had been a difficult tenant, she said, squatting in the house without paying rent. so, 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 food had been left. it looked as though he had left in a hurry, but we probably weren't there until maybe four or five months after he had left, unaware that he was no longer there. christian b's 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 has 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. three police forces and one little girl. could this be the end of their journey to find each other? lucy williamson, bbc news, praia da luz. now it's time for a look at the weather

with tomasz schafernaker. for most of us another fine day, some by weather clouds will develop into towering thunderstorms, and we could have downpours of hail and gusty winds as well, but the chance of actually any one storm hitting your region is very low, and most of us will not be getting thunderstorms. there is a weather system circling the uk at the moment, that is helping to generate some of the clouds and thunderstorms. it is with us for the next few days, so we could have similar weather generally across the uk for a few more days, that risk of showers and thunderstorms. by the end of the afternoon, storms developing across parts of the midlands, and in the south it is probably going to be shower and storm free, so warm sunny weather here, but from the east midlands into northern parts of wales and eastern areas of northern ireland, we could see heavy downpours through the course of late afternoon and into the evening hours as well.

eastern scotland, in fact the entire, or most of the north sea coast, completely different story, it has been overcast, misty in places, see fright will continue through this evening and overnight. the showers will die away overnight, so very warm in places, no lower than 14 degrees in liverpool. that weather system that i showed you are still with us, it will continue to generate showers and thunderstorms, but tomorrow the distribution of the showers and storms will be somewhat different, the thinking is across more northern parts of the country, so the midlands and the south will see far fewer storms. temperatures in the sunshine up to around 2a celsius. into tuesday, we are expecting the showers to once again become more widespread across the uk, and you can see the showers brewing in almost every corner of the country, so again thunder and lightning

is a possibility on tuesday almost anywhere, and a typical summer temperatures, low 20s in the south, high teens across the north sea coast. this weather will continue for a few more days yet, it looks as though at least until thursday we will see those showers. bye— bye.

boris johnson says the fall in coronavirus cases could mean the easing of the two metre social distancing rule in england. as nonessential shops open in england tomorrow, a review of the two metre rule is under way and due to report in earlyjuly. 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. we'll be looking at the risks involved in any easing of the distancing rules. also this evening: in america, protests in atlanta after a white policeman kills another black man. secondary schools in england prepare to welcome back some pupils to the classroom tomorrow. and three years on from the grenfell tower fire, remembering the 72 people who died.

good evening. the two metre social distancing measure in england is being actively reviewed, the government has announced. boris johnson said that with the overall number of coronavirus cases continuing to fall, now was the right time to reassess the rules. it's understood that a decision will be made beforejuly 4th, which is when pubs and restaurants could open in england. with more here's our political correspondent iain watson. social distancing has affected every aspect of our lives — how we work, where we work, whether our children can go to school. it's kept more of

us can go to school. it's kept more of us healthy and made a pandemic, but there are serious fears now about there are serious fears now about the health of the economy. more shops in england can reopen tomorrow, and the prime minister was learning today how to keep his distance. they start here? 0k, learning today how to keep his distance. they start here? ok, on the dot. look at this, fantastic, nice to see you. but many of his own mps have been pressing him to reduce the distance we should stay apart from two metres to one metre before july the 4th, the day he has pencilled in for the reopening of the hospitality industry, so downing street announced a review. there are benefits in terms of preventing the disease from two metres. now, clearly, statistically, those benefits, while important, becomes less valuable as we get the disease down. 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. businesses and some

politicians and i say small pubs and restau ra nts politicians and i say small pubs and restaurants will simply not be viable if customers are kept to metres apart. the review will look at the experience of other countries, such as france and denmark, which have a one metre rule. some conservative mps really have been piling the pressure on borisjohnson to relax the two metres guidance. 0ne borisjohnson to relax the two metres guidance. one of them told me he needed to show political courage, another that he needed to get on the front foot and make his presence felt. so a review is a big signal that he understands and listens to their concerns, and some have welcomed this. but others see it as a tactic to disguise a delay in taking a difficult political decision, and one former conservative leader says his current leader has all the evidence he needs to act now. the truth is the hospitality sector in the uk is one of the biggest employers, and if it doesn't manage to get going, we will see a huge cascade of people on to the unemployment benefits, so it's really vital we move on this and

move fast. labour accused the prime minister of being slow to act, though they haven't said they would change the guidance any quicker. the government is dithering, delaying, we have got in action, reviews, and yet again we are hearing that boris johnson is going to take charge! we have been hearing that for weeks! many conservative mps want two to become one, and borisjohnson isn't asking us to move closerjust yet. iain watson, bbc news. well, the review into the two metre rule comes as 36 more deaths from coronavirus were reported in the latest 24—hour period in hospitals, care homes and in the wider community. it brings the total number of deaths in the uk to 41,698. given the continuing deaths and infections, any decision to relax the two metre measure remains controversial. so what is the difference in risk between staying two metres apart or one? 0ur science editor, david shukman, explains. the scientists advising the government say that staying safe from the virus involves

several different factors. the most obvious is distance. they reckon that being one metre apart can be up to ten times riskier than being two metres apart, but timing is also important. spending more than 15 minutes close together will increase the chances of infection, as does being face to face, which can be as risky two metres apart as it is being back—to—back with someone at one metre. and indoors, ventilation is a crucial factor. the simulation shows how, when someone coughs, the virus could be spread around the room by the air conditioning. but in this scenario, an open window brings in fresh air, which dilutes the virus rather than circulating it. so why do some countries have a lower limit than us? france, for example, has a one metre rule. well, it is much stricter than us about people covering their faces — not only on public transport. shopkeepers have the right to demand that people wear them as well.

australia has a 1.5 metre rule, but there are far fewer cases there than in the uk, so keeping apart doesn't matter so much. what scientists say is really important is that the more you control the virus, the more you can relax about getting closer together. david shukman reporting there. well, tomorrow nonessential shops in england can open, but some will take their time before starting up for business. but the pandemic has accelerated the shift towards online shopping, and there are questions about whether more traditional stores will have to shut permanently. here's our business correspondent katy austin. the shutters will come up at this store in reading for the first time in weeks. and staff are back from furlough preparing. we will be restricting the amount of people in the store. we feel that six people in the store is probably a good number for everybody to feel safe. 0nline orders, particularly around eid, have saved the business,

but they need the customers back in store to buy all this stock. we are putting as much as we can in place to make sure that we get as much trade and as much custom as we possibly can. but we still feel that we're probably looking at 20—30% reduction in turnover. different retailers will have slightly different processes. here at waterstones, books will be quarantined after they've been touched. we will take it from you, or you can leave it at the till for us, or indeed you can place it on this trolley. the books will go onto this trolley, they will stay in our stock room for two days, by which time they'll be safe to return to the shop floor. at marks & spencer, customers can sanitise their hands and touch clothes, but fitting rooms are shut. for many shops, the chance to reopen is a relief, but challenges lie ahead — even if there is an initial surge of customers, trade is expected to stay much lower than it was before the crisis. and many shops are having difficult conversations with their landlords about how much rent

they can afford to pay. there is concern in the industry the two metre social distance and guideline will make operating profitably a challenge. that is now under review. the chancellor today encouraged customers to return to shops. i think it's important now that people do have that confidence to go out, especially as we start to reopen these parts of our economy, like shops, tomorrow. and why should people have that confidence? well, they can have it because we've made enormous progress. nonessential retail in northern ireland restarted on friday. there is no date yet for scotland or wales. businesses in england will be nervously waiting to see how many customers, increasingly used to online ordering, come back into store from tomorrow. katy austin, bbc news. a white policeman involved in the fatal shooting of rayshard brooks, a black american, in the us city of atlanta has been sacked.

it follows a night of unrest over the killing. another officer involved has been put on leave, and the city's chief of police 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 aleem maqbool‘s report distressing. america is here again — analysing the killing of a black man at the hands of the police. somebody called 911 because you were asleep behind the wheel when you were at the drive—through, right? rayshard brooks had been asleep in his car beside a fast—food restaurant. i'm not causing any problems. we've got to make sure that you're safe to operate a vehicle... independent investigators have released this footage, taken on police body cameras. blow, blow, blow, blow, stop. it shows that after he failed a breath test, the officers tried to arrest mr brooks. hey! hands off the taser!

but during a struggle, he grabs one of their tasers. during a brief chase, he turns to point the taser at the officer, who responds by firing live ammunition. 27—year—old rayshard brooks died the scene. given his offence, the fact that he hadn't had a lethal weapon, and that he was running away, not attacking, there's been condemnation. 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. protesters let their anger be known. the restaurant that's staff had called the police was set on fire. and though the officer who fired the shots has been sacked, the other placed on leave, and the police chief has resigned, lawyers for the brooks family

conveyed the sheer exhaustion that many here feel at case after case like this. i can even say we wantjustice, but i don't even 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 him arrested, is it getting somebody fired, is it the chief stepping down? i know this isn'tjustice, what's happening in society right now. the now familiar refrain of "nojustice, no peace"

in the last hour, bells at churches across london have rung 72 times to honour the victims of the grenfell tower fire on the third anniversary of the disaster. the grenfell united campaign group says the fight for safe homes and justice continues, as our correspondent # hallelujah, hallelujah. ..# an anniversary with a difference. due to coronavirus, a virtual

service involving song and prayer. all to remember the 72 who died in the early hours of that wednesday morning. we are still going through the grieving process and the rest of —— grieving because of covid and uncovered what bad emotions for us, especially for how things were after the fire because there were lots of similarities. listening to the numbers of deaths rising every day. the blaze spread through the 24—storey block after a thread freezer caught fire. cladding on the tower block was blamed for the fire spreading rapidly. it triggered a feeling among some that the underprivileged were not being cared for. this year's anniversary comes as britain and the world reflect on racial inequality. that is why feelings of social injustice that were so painful at the time of the fire are likely to be

brought into sharper focus. ministers had promised to replace all similar material in tower blocks by this month, but thousands of buildings are still deemed dangerous. bells toll. this evening, church bells across london rang in unison 72 times, and the names of each victim were read out. all day, in unusual circumstances, they came together to remember. lives lost, heartbroken, and families still hoping for answers. sima kotecha, bbc news. back now to our top story, and the easing of lockdown restrictons. tomorrow in england, some secondary school pupils will return to the classroom. years ten and 12 will get some teaching in school this term, to help them begin to catch—up, ahead of gcse and a—level exams next year. wales will begin opening schools on 29th ofjune, with scotland and northern ireland

waiting until august. here's our education editor, bra nwen jeffreys. schools, empty of teenagers these last few months, will from tomorrow echo with their pupils' voices. no—one's seen anything like it before. there is a mixture of different emotions for it. i'm really excited to see the teachers again, and obviously friends at school. and from what i know, the school have done everything they can to make it safe for us. at home with his parents, lawrence now wants to catch up. and are you worried now about your exams next year? slightly, yeah, iam. i mean, i was already nervous already, cos like you say, it's such a big year. adam, also year ten, told me it will be tough. i think it's going to be very hard for a lot of us, and like mentally it will probably be a bit of a struggle with all, like, the revision were going to have to do, all the catch up and in—the—school learning.

at school, this is what they'll find — marquees for extra space. so this is where we put out all the desks and chairs... a place to eat packed lunches and for lessons. this school lucky to have outside stairs and walkways. have we got any other things we need to be thinking about? miss hardingham plans to offer six days of teaching to year tens. i would say, for the vast majority of children, and certainly for the children that we worry most about, our disadvantaged students and our vulnerable students, they really need the guidance of their teachers. schools have planned based on the two—metre distance advice. today, ministers have confirmed that is now under review. every school building is different, and that means each head teacher has to look at the government advice and work out the risks for their own school. but what is clear is that as long as there is any social distancing, and it doesn't matter what the distance is, there will still be a lot

of learning at home. how much difference would it make to you to go from two metres to one metre social distance? the concept of cramming 1090 children and over 150 staff into this building and somehow saying they can stay a metre apart at all times, that isn't workable. but it would possibly give us the situation where we could maybe have half of the cohort in. there will be a cloth already laid on the table for them... for as long as risks have to be managed, nothing about school will be completely back to normal. branwen jeffreys, bbc news, portsmouth. there's more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel. we're back with the late news at ten. now on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. goodbye.

hello, you are bbc news. hello there, i'm 0lly foster at the bbc sport centre. the final round is underway in texas and the first pga tournament for over three months has a really tightly packed leaderboa rd, the american xander schauffele will be teeing off shortly, the overnight leader on 13 under. 0ur golf correspondent, iain carter, has been keeping across play at fort worth, at the colonial country club. rory mcilroy and justin rose had been 3 off the lead, have they made a move yet? not quite, they are both out on the cause, they started at ten under par, so within three shots at the lead the world number one found trouble at the very first hole, the par five, where he trouble at the very first hole, the parfive, where he would potentially have expected to pick up a shot, but instead he handed one back at a bogey, so he is back to nine under par, four shots of the lead. justin

rose remains under ten under par, so three shots behind. and we joked how weird it is going to be going into the final round because it looks like it is going to be a funny one. mcilroy is playing with bryson dechambeau, we joked last week about how he's bulked up in lockdown, he is hitting it a mile and colin montgomery has voiced his concerns, saying something needs to be done. yes and i think it is important to stress that he was speaking on five live yesterday and he doesn't doesn't have anything against this golfer with a fitness regime he has taken going into the gem and putting on £20 of muscle just in the lockdown period, a radical change to his body shape, bryson dechambeau has rendered so much distance off the tee and he is flying the ball co mforta bly the tee and he is flying the ball comfortably many yards through the air with every shot that he hits.

the question then becomes well, our golf course is too small for players who hit a ball that far. that is a massive question for the players and the organisers and montgomery was saying perhaps it is now time we have special balls for the professionals that perhaps doesn't fly as far as the likes of you and i when we play amateur games. many thanks for the latest five live sports extra from 9pm, commentary from you and the team. we are three days away from the return of the premier league and 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 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 have kicked off against eibar. tony kroos has given them an early lead. a win would see them trim barcelona's lead to two points again. atletico madrid slipped up earlier, three points 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. former chelsea striker diego costa with their equaliser, just a couple of minutes after bilbao had taken the lead. the liverpool player taiwo awoniyi, who is on loan at bundesliga side mainz, will spend the night in hospital as a precaution after suffering concussion playing against augsburg this afternoon. the 22—year—old forward appeared to be briefly knocked out after a clash of heads in the first half. the club say he was responsive before being ta ken to hospital for tests. awoniyi hasn't played a game for liverpool sincejoining them in 2015, has also had loan spells at clubs in holland and belgium. mainz, who are battling relegation,

lost the match 1—0. a charity tennis tournament hosted by novak djokovic is taking place in belgrade. the world number one was beaten yesterday so needed to beat alexander zverev in straight sets to reach the final 4000 fans packed the arena to watch the serbian play. games are a little bit shorter with sets the first to 4 games. djokovic took the first 4—0, but dropped the second set. djokovic took the final set so at least signed off with victory. djokovic took the final set so at least signed off with victory. this tour now moves on to croatia. and that's all the sport for now. hello, we have seen a number of sundry downpours affecting the cou nty sundry downpours affecting the county in northern ireland and north wales and the north midlands and
