hi, good morning welcome to bbc news with victoria derbyshire. here are the headlines: back to the high street — thousands of shops in england re—open after nearly three months of lockdown. i don't mind queueing, i don't mind as long as i can get into a shop to see what's available. even with the safety measures i'm still cautious to go out in public and i definitely think as soon as the normal shops open it will be a huge rush. face coverings are now compulsory for passengers on public transport in england. chanting: black lives matter... after two weeks of anti—racism

protests, the prime minister announces a commission to examine all aspects of racial inequality in the uk. we have to look at discrimination in the education system, in health, in the criminaljustice system. we have to look at all ways in which it affects black and minority ethnic groups. year ten and year 12 pupils in england head back to school for face—to—face time with teachers as they prepare for gcses and a levels next year. england and manchester united star marcus rashford writes to mps asking them not to stop free school meal vouchers. the scheme is due to end next month. you know, what families are going through now, i once had to go through that same system and it's very difficult to find a way out.

good morining. it's a day of major change in england as lockdown restrictions continue to ease. long queues were reported outside primark shops in london and birmingham. after almost three months, all nonessential shops including clothing retaillers and department stores can reopen — if they stick to safety measures. if you're travelling on public transport, you'll have to wear a face covering from today, or risk a potential fine. some secondary pupils in years ten and 12 facing exams next year, are heading back to the classroom forface—to—face time with their and the prime minister and the prime minister has commisioned a review into the metre social distancing rule to see if it can be shortened.

graham satchell takes a look at the changes. for almost three months, high streets have been deserted, town centres empty. but from today in england, things change. all nonessential shops, clothes, books, charities, everything, can reopen. it'll be far from normal. there'll be one way systems, hand sanitisers, perspex screens, social distancing, and of course, queues. i don't mind cueing. i don't mind, as i long as i can get into the shops and see what is available. it will be just nice to feel more normal. even with the safety measures, i'm still cautious to go out in public. and i definitely think, as soon as the normal shops open, there will be a huge rush. and i'm too careful about my own well— being so i probablyjust won't go out. announcer: please remember to use a face covering while travelling on tfl services.

travel will also look different from today. face coverings are now compulsory on buses, trains, trams, ferries, planes, with some exemptions for smaller children and people with some medical conditions. and there will be more flights, easyjet, for example, will resume a small number of passenger journeys from this morning. there are changes in education, some secondary schools in england will open today butjust for years ten and i2. again, there'll be one—way systems, social distancing, and smaller class sizes. and some outdoor attractions like zoos will also open from today. lockdown is being eased and england will look and feel considerably different. it will need more time and patience to work. graham satchell, bbc news. our correspondent,

kathryn stanchesun is in birmingham. have you seen the big queues outside primark? i have indeed. they were arriving before seven o'clock this morning and the queue was actually right down at birmingham's high street. it has died down now because people have been allowed in but before seven o'clock, there were several hundred people in this queue waiting for the shops to open. it was due to open at eight o'clock but because of demand and because of the queue stretching down the street, they decided to get the doors open at around 7.25. since then, i would estimate probably around 500 people have gone into primark, chatting to a few of the people in the queue. they said they needed various thing, one woman said she needed cushions and that is what she wanted to come out for this morning. more importantly they wanted to feel more normality, get back out there into

retail, be with other people and get into the shops and actually spend some money. people here can be socially distanced. lots of security making sure people cap two metres apart in the queue and this is the well‘s biggest primark, 161,000 square feet, five floors. it is a little bit easier to socially distance in there. still waiting for word from primark about how many people across the country might have gone into its stores. birmingham city centre, similar queues for some other stores, not as long but some getting some interest but other shops not ready to open. lots of changes in the city centre as well. white markings, a bit like road markings on the floor in the streets of birmingham telling people to go one way 01’ of birmingham telling people to go one way or another and to keep their distance. thank you. we can show you pictures of oxford street in the centre of the capital now. queues towards the back of the picture.

there is a big queue there but i think, i think it is nikkei anyway. they are expecting bargains, one of the bigger shopping streets in the world. —— nike. forthe last the bigger shopping streets in the world. —— nike. for the last three months, it has been pretty empty, i can months, it has been pretty empty, i ca n attest months, it has been pretty empty, i can attest to that getting the tube home after work every afternoon. at the queues building for various shops in oxford street. alice says she is a 22—year—old woman but she feels anxious about going out and being around people. she has only been to starbucks twice and out on walks. barry says, i am shielding so the rules don't apply to me so it seems like we are the forgotten in this. how will the government that does know how we can safely get some kind of life back. thank you for your messages, we will read some more in the next hour. the rules around wearing face coverings in england

have changed from today. they're now compulsory on public transport, and if you don't wear one you might not be able to travel, or you cld be given a fine. nina warhurst has spent the morning at manchester picadilly station. as of today, mandatory in england to wear face coverings, notjust if you are on a train, but a plain, ferry 01’ are on a train, but a plain, ferry ora are on a train, but a plain, ferry or a bus. 0nly are on a train, but a plain, ferry or a bus. only in england, are on a train, but a plain, ferry ora bus. only in england, so theoretically if you are crossing theoretically if you are crossing the borderfrom theoretically if you are crossing the border from wales or scotland you would have to put a mask on. most people we have seen in the station today have been wearing a face covering. it doesn't have to be a mass like this, i saw someone with a mass like this, i saw someone with a scarf, i even so somebody with a sock they had adapted, hopefully clea n. sock they had adapted, hopefully clean. staff are on hand to give people face coverings if they don't have their own. if you have ever travelled on one of these shuttle trains between manchester and london, you will know they are usually packed. not since locked down, and even as footfall picks up they are limiting the number of

tickets sold, about 100 of the 600 capacity to maintain social distancing. when you come into the perfect car, which everyone knows is the best bit of a train, there are markings on the floor to make sure passengers keep their distance and also a shield to protect staff. all of the trains are sprayed with a powerful disinfectant every four weeks and some trains will have markings saying where you can and cannot sit. there will be extra staff around to encourage the use of face coverings but ultimately it is down to every passenger to play their part. the prime minister has announced that a commission will be established to examine all aspects of inequality in the uk. writing in the daily telegraph, after more than two weeks of anti—racism protests, borisjohnson acknowledged that "much more" needed to be done to tackle the issue. however, he warned against attempts to "re—write the past" by removing historical symbols. speaking yesterday the prime minister said that — as a leader — he could not sit back

and ignore what was going on. first of all, we have to acknowledge that when thousands of people marched peacefully for black lives matter, you know, you can't ignore that. i, as a leader, someone in government, i can't ignore the strength of their feeling and we have to look at discrimination in the education system, in health, in the criminal justice system. we have to look at all ways in which it affects black and minority, ethnic groups. so we are going to have a big, big effort we will be announcing shortly, a new cross government commission to look at what is going on for black and minority ethnic groups and to champion their success. because what has slightly been lost in all of this is the story of success and people just don't know. you have far more black and minority ethnic people now going to university.

you've got far more young black kids doing the toughest subjects at gcse and ebacc. and that's a story of success. and what i really want to do as prime minister is change the narrative so we stop the sense of victimisation and discrimination, we stop the discrimination. we stamp out racism and we start to have a real sense of expectation of success. that's where i want to get to, but it won't be easy. labour'sjustice secretary david lammy has been speaking to the today programme. he was asked if he believes there is such a thing as "white privilege? " there will be people listening who are working class, who are poor, they may be in northern constituencies. they are not feeling particularly privileged, they are having a tough time in a britain that has suffered from austerity. but when people talk about white privilege,

they're not saying your life isn't hard or tough, or challenged because, if you like, the class issues that remain in britain. what they are saying is race is not one of the things that makes it harder. i think, in a sense, ifeel like i am being gas lighted if we ask questions like does white privilege or does racism exist? frankly, given all the art that has been made, or the writing that has been delivered whether in reviews all black writing, all the comedy that has been made that has made people laugh. of course, those things still exist in our society. the time now is frankly, for majority culture to do something. for more on this, norman smith is in westminsterfor us. norman, another review being set up to look at discrimination and equality, what do we know about this one? it will be a short review, it is to conclude by christmas. we know

it will be overseen by the equalities minister. it will be run out of the cabinet office and it will report to the prime minister. there may be public hearings, there will be independent members of the panel of the commission which will be called the commission into race and ethnic disparity. and legislation may or may not follow. the criticism, and we've had a lot of it already, including from david lammy is, do we need yet another commission where many of the issues and problems around racial inequality are well known? they have been gone over in detail by numerous different enquiries. teresa may, she had her race disparity audit which he was hugely proud of, looking at the discrimination and equality in the discrimination and equality in the public sector. david lammy himself had his own report into racial inequality in the criminal

justice system. we had the wind rush enquiry into the hostile environment, we have had enquiries into police conduct. we really have had an awful lot. i suspect the concern of many critics will be, here we go again and with a great big thud, and other report lands on the table. but what actually follows from it? thank you very much, norman. let's talk to a journalist. thank you for talking to us, how do you react to another commission?m is good borisjohnson is acknowledging that there is a massive problem when it comes to racism in the uk. what we don't need is another pen pushing exercise, we don't need another big block of white paper landing on a desk somewhere in whitehall for no reason. we need action, we need to look at the data and we need to be between the data points and tackle

theissues between the data points and tackle the issues that because the discrimination and the disparities in the uk. they have long been known, we know what they are. what we want is action on them, we don't need another pen pushing exercise. what action would you like to see happen now? as we know, and i am sure people have said this over the past couple of weeks, we are in the middle of two pandemics, covid—19 and the pandemic of racism. the reasons why black and brown people suffer so disproportionately when it comes to these two things are the socio— economic problems when it comes to covid—19. and also the institutionalised racism we have across this country in the health system, the education system and in a month, these things are things that have been institutionalised, they have been there for so many years. we need to break these things down. black women are five times more likely to die in childbirth.

why is that? we know we have issues and our doctors listening when we talk about pain. why don't we educate doctors and nurses to know this is a real thing. we have the solutions, we just have to want to put them in practice. like i said, not another paper, we need real action. boris johnson said yesterday ina action. boris johnson said yesterday in a message to news agencies, he wa nts to in a message to news agencies, he wants to stop, "the sense of victimisation and discrimination". what do you think that means? using that language is not helping at all. it kinda feels like he is trying to let himself and the government off the hook for the blame and back onto black and brown people as usual saying we are the victims and we other one saying we are discriminated against. racism is not our problem, is the problem of white people and the problem of people who put it into practice. it is nothing to do with him, but here he is to

commandeer a nice report about it, but nothing will happen. we have had to report into this before, david lammy did run into disparities and injustice and theresa may did what about the windrush scandal. nothing ever happened about it. no action actually came into place. thank you very much, thank you for talking to us very much, thank you for talking to us this morning, we appreciate it. when your reaction is welcome where ever you are watching in the uk. your reaction to this idea of a commission to look at all aspects of inequality that boris johnson announced, writing in the telegraph today. you can send us an e—mail or message me on twitter. an image of one man carrying another to safety during violent protests in london over the weekend, has been hailed as a symbol of unity, after it was widely shared online.

patrick hutchinson was photographed carrying an injured man, following clashes between far—right protesters and anti—racism activists. he says he did it because simply he saw his life was under threat. a man accused of urinating on a memorial to the murdered police officer keith palmer, during demonstrations at the weekend, will appear in court today. this photo was widely shared on social media after protests in london on saturday. andrew banks, who's 28 and from stansted, has been charged with outraging public decency. more than 900 blue plaques on buildings across london are to be reviewed by english heritage, in response to concerns that some honour figures linked to racism or slavery. the charity says it hopes to recognise those who have been traditionally under—represented in history, including members of the black community. the headlines on bbc news... back to the high street —

queues as thousands of shops in england re—open after nearly three months of lockdown. face coverings are now compulsory for passengers on public transport in england. after two weeks of anti—racism protests, the prime minister announces a commission to examine all aspects of racial inequality in the uk. easyjet is restarting flights today, for the first time in 11 weeks. a limited number of planes will take off, while passengers and crew will be required to wear face coverings. the first flight, to glasgow, took off from london gatwick this morning. the boss of the budget airline has insisted he would feel 100% safe on a packed plane. tim muffett is at gatwick for us. reasonably busy, not busy at all, quite busy? what would you say? very, very, very quiet indeed. to

see gatwick airport at 9.15 on a monday morning and there is hardly anyone around. this is the first time this north terminal has opened since the pandemic, the south terminal did remain open. face coverings are mandatory and public transport so on the aircraft itself. in the airport, they are not mandatory, but the airport is strongly encouraging people to bring them and to wear them whilst they are in the airport itself. many people will arrive here by train and they already have one. hand sanitiser is our here and vending machines selling face coverings will be made available as well. for airlines and airports, this has been airlines and airports, this has been a truly dreadful few weeks. many of them facing huge, huge challenges and as you said, easyjet's first passenger flight since the end of march took off earlier this morning. easyj et has march took off earlier this morning. easyjet has said it will have to cut around 30% of its workforce, around

4500 around 30% of its workforce, around a500 jobs and earlier i was speaking to the chief executive of easyjet about that and other issues and the difficulties they face. it is unavoidable we will have to cope with a different level of demand as we go forward. we recognise it will take years before we get to the levels we had before the outbreak. of course, we will need to adapt the size of the organisation to that demand. easyj et, easyjet, along with ryanair and british airways are launching a legal challenge against the quarantine rules which are now in force. that means most people arriving in the uk have to self—isolate for 1a days. the airlines say that it's going to make airlines say that it's going to make a return to normality all the harder and it is going to create much more job losses potentially, so they want those rules overturned. so some step back to normality in the sense that easyj et‘s back to normality in the sense that easyjet's flight did take off this morning, but if you look around here it is so very quiet. normally around

900 flights a day would be dealt with here at gatwick, taking off and departing, but right now they expect around 10,000 passengers this week and typically it would be around 1 million. thank you very much, tim muffet at gatwick airport. the head of the police federation for england and wales, the union for rank and file officers, says the government should ban demonstrations. over the weekend, far—right protesters took to the streets of the capital and some attacked police officers. more than a 100 arrests were made. let's talk tojohn apter, the national chair of police federation and the journalist gabriel pogrund who was violently assaulted at the protests. good morning, both of you. how challenging was it for police officers on saturday afternoon?m was very challenging, victoria. not only across london but we had protests in other parts of the country. you may have seen in newcastle country. you may have seen in n ewcastle o n country. you may have seen in newcastle on saturday, my colleagues came under attack by a number of

individuals where police horses had to be used to disperse the crowd. but a number of officers were injured. on monday, on sunday alone, 23 police officers were injured, and a number of arrests. this is at a time when we are in the grip of a deadly pandemic, it is not the right thing for people to be doing. they are ignoring the warnings which is why, along with my colleagues have called on the government to not only encourage people not to attend these protests, but whilst this pandemic is on, to ban them. i know it is a big step and i am a believer in the right for peaceful protest, but this is putting lives at risk, putting aside the violence being offered, the horrific violence being offered to my colleagues and the different factions within these protests and we have already seen some journalists have been badly assaulted as well, let my colleague we will speak to shorty. ministers

have no powers to initiate a ban on marches, it is an operational matter for the police you have to apply, or the met has to apply for permission from the home office. so why haven't you done that? the metropolitan police, i am sure with other forces will put restrictions in place. for example, a section 60 by the metropolitan police was put in place and that allows police to search, restrict certain areas. but we need to go further. i don't think it is right at the moment, the government to pass that responsibility to policing. we need more support from government. what we have heard is the home secretary, very supportive and encouraging people not to attend but people are ignoring those pleas so we need more support from the home secretary. whether that is legislation, so be it? we are in unprecedented times, it is a deadly virus which we are still not over so we need support to try and limit

these protests taking place. not only in london but across the country. you are asking for emergency legislation to be brought in now to ban further demonstrations? yes, yes i am. the commissioner of the met or city of london police would need to apply to the home secretary for consent to ban marches, no such applications have yet to be received. why not do it that way around? i would encourage the metropolitan and the mayor and others across the country to do this. but we need the support from the government. the problem is at the moment, there is so much sensitivity around protest, which i com pletely sensitivity around protest, which i completely understand and i believe in the right to peaceful protest. it isa in the right to peaceful protest. it is a fundamental right that the public have in this country, but we are not in normal times and we need to a cce pt are not in normal times and we need to accept that and do whatever we can to protect the public, but also my colleagues who are in the thick of this and they are facing this danger as well as the violence we are seeing on our television

screens. let me bring in gabriel, you covering the protests on saturday and e were assaulted, what happened to you ? saturday and e were assaulted, what happened to you? i was doing my job andl happened to you? i was doing my job and i was there to report on the demonstrations and i was told at the outset of the day, by paul golding, the leader of the far—right group britain first, the primary aim was to protect the statues and protect british values. i thought it was fairly amusing to see so many protesters urinating on the palace of westminster. i went to take a photo of one man relieving himself near the gates to parliament. his friend saw me, basically marched towards me, was hurling profanities at me which i will not dignify repeating at 9.30 and i assumed he would come and asked me to delete

the photo i had taken. instead he launched his knee into my body and threaten to head— butt launched his knee into my body and threaten to head—butt me. thankfully, i managed to turn my body so he only struck me on my side. i wouldn't overstate the medical severity of the assault, the headline said photographer appear to have his nose broken with blood running down his face. i witnessed punches thrown at the police who we re punches thrown at the police who were pelted with bottles and flares. but there was clearly an ambience of hostility towards press and i unfortunately fell foul of that. is that a new thing for you, gabriel, to feel that hostility towards journalists? only last week i was outside the american embassy reporting on the black lives matter protests. there were 113 arrests

made yesterday. i believe there were around 100 arrests made at the black lives matter demonstration the week before last. i am not suggesting there was unlawful behaviour at one and not at the other, but from my personal experience, at the black lives matter demo, protesters were delighted the press was there, they wanted their words and their actions to be broadcast to the world. here, it felt as though with the press, police and politicians where the targets of this kind of explosion of street violence and rage. there is an amusing irony that police were both targeted, being targeted in the us because of the spate of police killings and you know, a lot of allegations of institutional racism against the police now in this

country. despite that yesterday a lot of the protesters were saying the metropolitan police were part of this left—wing conspiracy who defended churchill and themselves conspiring with the media to stymie the democratic rights. john, as national chair of the police federation, one of the injustices that sparked the black lives matter protest here is the fact that if you are black you are ten times more likely to be stopped by the police that if you are right. why do you think that is? this has been a question and many other similar to it that has been asked for a number of years. it is a much wider society issue. i think the legitimate concerns, they have not been properly listened to not only by policing but other agencies, whether it is health, housing, welfare and education. specifically on that question why do you think you are

ten times more likely to be stopped by the police if you are black than if you are white? police officers. and search individuals based on evidence and information they have. u nfortu nately, evidence and information they have. unfortunately, the sad reality is, i lot of young black lads are committing crime, especially in some built—up city areas. we have to break that cycle because i am also told, why are disproportionately more young black men in prison. because they are convicted of crimes. you have to break the cycle, but this should not be laid always at the police of policing because we are reacting to a system failure of society. we need to look at the broader issues. i am not saying it is perfect but my colleagues do the best they can and over the last few yea rs, best they can and over the last few yea rs , we best they can and over the last few yea rs, we have best they can and over the last few years, we have things like body worn video introduced because people were saying policing was corrupt and we we re saying policing was corrupt and we were not doing a good job. what a body worn video has shown is that we

are doing an incredibly good job, we are doing an incredibly good job, we are being complained the stop and search encounters are remarkable, they go without incident. but i'm not saying it is perfect and we need to do better and we need to listen more genuinely listen. think could part of the reason be because some police officers are racist? i'm not going to say we don't have racist police officers. we have police officers from the community. they reflect all areas of the community. however, no good police officer wants a bad police officer in thejob, me included. i wa nt to officer in thejob, me included. i want to rip out any toxic elements of policing. and i say that as the national chair of the body that represents police officers. there is a lwa ys represents police officers. there is always a minority of bad people in any organisation. we need to prevent that. we need to stop it. when it is identified we need to rip it out,

fairly, and listen to the context but deal with it head on. thank you both very much for coming on the programme. the national chair of the police federation and a journalist to described how he was violently assaulted in those protests on saturday afternoon. borisjohnson will hold talks with eu leaders by video conference today, with both sides wanting to inject more dynamism into stalled trade talks. the deadline for the uk to request an extension to the talks expires at the end of this month. gavin lee is in brussels for us. gavin, fill us in? well, there have been four weeks of negotiations and it has pretty much come to an impasse. the words of michel barnier at the last round of talks, we can't go on like this. david frost, britain's chief negotiator, says progress has been limited. they call this a progress has been limited. they call thisa mini progress has been limited. they call this a mini summit, where boris

johnson meets the president of the european commission, council and parliaments, all in a video together. the original reason for this was to say, is there reason to extend the transition? it has become like a bad pantomime. the uk side co nsta ntly like a bad pantomime. the uk side constantly saying, oh, now there isn't, the eu saying, oh, yes there is. last week there was a meeting between michael gove and eu officials and the agreement was that the eu get the message, britain does not want to extend, therefore we have to accelerate the talks. we will hear more detail of that today on this video conference about the path we are expecting. five weeks of talks over a five—week period in the summer back and forth between brussels and london. they want a deal by october because part of the issue that the eu side are saying is it may have to be ratified by eu parliament and regional parliaments.

the canada deal, for example, it was held up by one tiny parliament in belgium and they don't want that to be repeated. the other thing is we come away from the difficulties of fishing rights under state aid, it gets more personal politics. i remember a walk in the world between the taoiseach and borisjohnson when theresa may said tojean—claude junker, what did you call me, you called me nebulous? that is why today i hope to move things on. thank you. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood. hello again. this week's forecast is very much one of sunshine, warm sunshine at that and also some thundery downpours. what we have at the moment is quite a bit of low cloud, mist and fog which has come in from the north sea pushing back towards the north sea coastline of north—east england and eastern scotland. lots of showers developing through the afternoon, some of which will be heavy and thundery, particularly

as we travel further west but we could see one or two get into eastern areas as well. a lot of those showers will fade through this evening and overnight and will see a return to this low cloud, mist and fog pushing on land across scotland and also northern england. it's not going to be a cold night, it's going to be a mild one with overnight lows between nine and 13 degrees. so we start off tomorrow with all this low cloud, mist and fog pushing back to the north sea coastline, again of eastern scotland and north—east england. with low pressure drifting a bit further eastwards, there will be plenty more showers, some of those getting into the east tomorrow with highs up to 23. hello, this is bbc news with victoria derbyshire. the headlines: back to the high street — thousands of shops in england re—open after nearly three months of lockdown. face coverings are now compulsory for passengers on public transport in england.

whose lives matter? black lives matter! after two weeks of anti—racism protests, the prime minister announces a commission to examine all aspects of racial inequality in the uk. year 10 and year 12 pupils in england head back to school for face to face time with teachers, as they prepare for gcses and a levels next year. sport, and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre, here's jane dougall. good morning. england and manchester united striker, marcus rashford has written a passionate and highly personal letter, asking the government to rethink its decision to end free school meal vouchers in england during the summer. talking about his own childhood, rashford said "the system wasn't built for families like mine". he's been telling us why the issue is so important to him. you know, my mum was a single parent,

she's got five kids that was all living in the same house. now the programme i started in at 11 years old, you're supposed to started at 12 years old, which basically gives you new accommodation closer to the training facilities and a new school. and she worked that hard to push it forward, because she knew that for me that was the step i needed to take. i needed to be eating the right foods while i was growing and i needed to be close to my team—mates, my new school friends, things like that, so she made the decision when i was 11 years old and united allowed it. so that was the reason i ended up going at a younger age compared to the others, it was to help my mum with her situation and also get myself out of the situation i was in. so there's always a big element of sacrifice to try and get to the top level and you know, that is the one we had to make initially. my mum, she done the best she could. i remember we used to go to a shop called pound world,

and everything was under a pound. we'd schedule out the week, so we'd get seven yoghurts and you can have one yoghurt a day and so on. she did the best she could within the circumstances, but with some families out there like me that have four or five kids, it's literally impossible to take control of the situation. this is all going on at a time when kids should be concentrating on schoolwork and stuff like that, and it's just crazy to think that this is still going on. we're in 2020 now and it's just something i don't believe should be happening. marcus rashford are speaking very poignantly to sally nugent. just to add, the department for education says: "the national voucher scheme will not run during the summer holidays, but thousands of children will receive additional support through their holiday activities and food programme, which offers free meals throughout the summer holidays. " as we count down to the return of the premier league on wednesday, there was a moment in history for spain as their top flight

resources and training in making sure that shops can open safely this morning, and that people can really, i think is the prime minister said yesterday, shop with confidence. it will feel a bit different. there will feel a bit different. there will be new signs, markings on the floor, plenty of hand sanitiser, so it really requires us all, as members of the public, to play our pa rt members of the public, to play our part too. at the retailers have put health and safety absolutely at the co re health and safety absolutely at the core of all of those preparations. —— but of the retailers. core of all of those preparations. -- but of the retailers. oxfam have more than 500 shops in england. ten opening to begin with this week. when someone comes in with a bag of clothes they want to donate, what will you do with that now? well, it's really important to recognise we think a lot of people have spent the lockdown doing clear outs, so we had the other charity shops are expecting a huge surge in donations, which is fantastic. they will help us raise incredibly important income

ata us raise incredibly important income at a much needed time when people here and abroad need our help more than ever before. we're going to be quarantining all donated items for 72 hoursjust to make doubly sure that they are safe. 0f 72 hoursjust to make doubly sure that they are safe. of course we are encouraging our donors to make sure they give clothes they are donating a wash or a good wipe down if they are donating other goods. mandy, what measures have you put in place for the reopening? good morning. good morning. yes, we've certainly followed all the recommendations. we have spent the past week getting everything in place. clearly we have hand sanitisation, we've got at the signs. just trying to reassure customers we are well prepared for them visiting us. what kind of stock have you got available? obviously a season has passed since we went into lockdown. as you are a fashion business, what will be on offer for

customers? we tend to prepare ahead of season. we still have tops and things that are appropriate for the weather. but we are not entering quite into automated. we are ok, i think. we can certainly adapt if a customer needs something. we can get it. it's quite straightforward for us to accommodate if somebody wants something special. danny, many of your shops are staffed by volunteers, sometimes elderly volunteers. will that be an issue? it certainly will be for some. we have got 20 odd thousand volunteers who currently help us. one of the things we have been doing in recent weeks is checking with them to see if they are willing and able. a lot of them are older or will be shielding for health reasons. of course we are not making them come back and we are staggering the opening of our shops just to take

into account volunteer availability. meanwhile, the last couple of weeks, we have been doing a new recruitment drive for volunteers, encouraging people who are willing and able, especially people at home who want to be part of the community effort, our stores are the life of their communities, and we hope volunteering at oxfam is a great opportunity to get out and about safely and of course help us and others raise incredibly important income. helen, we have seen big queues outside primark in birmingham and london. we know the economy took and london. we know the economy took a 20% hit in april. how badly do retailers need shoppers to come back? well, there is no doubt that this year has been the most challenging ever for the this year has been the most challenging everfor the retail industry and retailers up and down the country. i think there will be, people are expecting it to be quite busyin people are expecting it to be quite busy in the first couple of days, particularly for all of us that

haven't been out for so long. but i think the expectation is that demand is not like a tap, it's not going to revert back to business as usual straightaway. it will take time for people to really feel confident and therefore, there are some questions about how viable it will be for many retail businesses. and therefore, it is really important for all of us to continue to support the retailers of our country both by shopping online, as we have been doing over the past weeks, and, particularly important over the next few weeks, to support our local shops in our local community that are such a vital part of our day—to—day lives. i think that has been shown to be even more important over the course of the lockdown. ok, thank you very much helen. danny and mandy, good luck. we wish you all the best. thank you. we can now speak to clare frances,

an english tutor, who believes she caught covid and doesn't want to go out and put herself at risk again. and k. a medical secretary who has been shielding since march. you feel safe enough to go out to the shops, k? no, i don't. not at the moment. first of all, i'm shielding, so obviously the guidelines are that i shouldn't go out shopping at the moment. but even if i could, ijust don't feel safe enough to go out. i mean, when you see that people have to wear masks and wash their hands in the shop, queue outside shops, i just don't feel safe. because i can control what i am doing but i can't control what i am doing but i can't control what i am doing but i can't control what other people are doing. that is interesting. even if you could go out you wouldn't. how long are you going to leave it? when will

you feel it is safe? probably if there is a vaccine available. and if someone can tell me that covid no longer is in the community. wow, so you would potentially stay in until a vaccine was produced? yeah, i don't want to go out shopping. i wouldn't want to go to a restaurant either. it's just. .. wouldn't want to go to a restaurant either. it'sjust. .. i can wouldn't want to go to a restaurant either. it'sjust... ican see wouldn't want to go to a restaurant either. it'sjust... i can see the thought of it is potentially filling you with anxiety. yeah, no desire whatsoever. fair enough. claire, whatsoever. fair enough. claire, what about yourself? hi. hi. ifeel pretty similar to k actually. i called suspected covid mid—march. and i am still suffering the after—effects physically. so i'm not

able to get out at the moment. but the thought that even if i was able to get out, the thought of going into shops, restaurants, public spaces, just, it really isn't an enticing thought because i don't feel safe really. that is so interesting. because if you have had covid—19, then there is the possibility you would have some sort of immunity. we don't know for how long. yes. so potentially it could be safer for long. yes. so potentially it could be saferfor someone like long. yes. so potentially it could be safer for someone like yourself? yes. and if for some reason i was able eventually to get an antibody test and the scientists could prove that i had either a limited immunity or immunity long term, that would totally change things for me. but we are not there yet. i don't

really know whether i would be immune. iwould really know whether i would be immune. i would be waiting until eithera immune. i would be waiting until either a vaccine or the level of infection rates have gone so low that it infection rates have gone so low thatitis infection rates have gone so low that it is no longer a particular risk before i went even near a shop. understood. i'm really interested, claire, in the fact you said at the beginning you think you had covid in mid—march. we are now made to tune and you say you are still suffering the after effects. tell us a little bit about that if you would? —— we are now middle ofjune. right, so i got ill, i was carrying it for a couple of weeks and i got ill around the 23rd of march. i had all the covid symptoms. i was in bed for eight days, i was pretty ill. temperature, coughed out but the worst thing was shortness of breath.

soa worst thing was shortness of breath. so a lot of the original symptoms passed after two to three weeks. but the shortness of breath didn't go away. i did go to hospital for the day to get chest x—rays and tests and things like that. but i didn't get a covid test because at that time they weren't testing the public. unless they stayed overnight at the hospital. but all the doctors in the hospital, my gp, the doctor i talked to on 111, all said my symptoms completely correlated with covid—19. so now it's, where are we, we are in the middle ofjune? i am still not able to get out of the house. i have been in the house, apart from the hospital visit, for something like 12 weeks, because if i walk for more than two to three minutes consistently, i get very

short of breath. and that shortness of breath can last for up to a week, which is quite unpleasant. i also get fatigued as well. there are these long drawn—out after—effects. so interesting. i know that people don't really hear about it on the news. when you talk about covid you can think it'll be a one to two week illness, it'll get worse, be hospitalised. but actually, this virus is really, really nasty. and if there was an immunity to it, there is no way that i would ever, ever want to put myself in a position where i could catch this awful virus again. position where i could catch this awfulvirus again. ok. thank position where i could catch this awful virus again. ok. thank you both. i really appreciate you coming on today. stay safe. thank you. one of the uk's youngest mps is recovering after collapsing

with a brain haemorrhage last week. the snp's amy callaghan was taken to hospital for emergency neurosurgery and is beginning the process of recovery. the 28—year—old has previously spoken openly about her battles with cancer. let's get more on the prime minister announcing a commission to examine all aspects of racial inequality in the uk, after two weeks of anti—racism protests. william adoasi is a london—based entrepreneur. good morning. good morning, victoria. how are you? i'm very well. what about yourself? how do you respond to the setting up of a commission? it feels like a great token gesture. feels like due to the weight of pressure of notjust our voices as black people but the voices as black people but the voices of allies, who have said inequality is enough, has pushed him to push forward token gesture. i would love to see if it brings about real change. i would love to find out the board he has to bring this

about and to see if they are representative of us as well. so lots of questions still for him to a nswer lots of questions still for him to answer in terms of the details of it. 10096. answer in terms of the details of it. 100%. he answer in terms of the details of it. 10096. he talked yesterday about wanting to stop the sense of victimisation and discrimination. what did you think of that? yeah, i heard him use that phrase. to be honest, it actually frustrated me. it was upsetting that he would use this phrase. it's not like we have this phrase. it's not like we have this victimhood mindset. racism and inequality can be seen in all facets of uk living. you can look at it in education with the imbalance of what is being taught. you can look at it in health care. black women are five times more likely to die while giving birth. you can look at it when we look at policing where, even in the midst of a pandemic, we were twice as likely to be fined for going about our business than our white counterparts. so it's actually

in all facets of society. it will ta ke in all facets of society. it will take a really, really big change and impact to see that change. this is not us with a victim mentality. it is the truth and reality of what it is. yeah. theresa may, when she became conservative prime minister, stood on the steps of downing street and promises —— promised to write the burning injustices, she said if you are black you are treated more harshly by the criminaljustice system harshly by the criminaljustice syste m tha n harshly by the criminaljustice system than if you are white. she commissioned a race audit. the david lammy was asked to look at discrimination in the criminal justice system. what else do we need to know that we don't know already? there's just so many layers to the racial inequality. and i think it really starts from the foundation of education. as a society when you look at the german society, they are so aware of all the ills of their past. they're aware of the things they have done that has treated other people as less than human. but

then when you look at british history, when you look at the education that is taught, as recently as 1960 there were concentration camps set up by britain which were killing people in kenya. that is never spoken about. we have been treated as less than human for so many years. and until there is a re—evaluation of education, the foundation of this country, then we won't actually see any true change. thank you very much, william. thank you for talking to us. william adiosi, a london—based entrepreneur. thank you for your messages. this is about going back to the shops. samuel davies, the reaction by many has been hysterical regarding caution of going back to nonessential shops. infection numbers are now so low it would be very unlucky for you to catch it. if you do, then 90% plus of us will have no complications. and those 90 plus percent will survive. there are no second spikes

in countries out of lockdown for weeks already. thank you those. i have quite a number from those who are very have quite a number from those who are very cautious about going back to nonessential shops. now the weather with carol. hello again. this week's forecast is one of warm sunshine and also some thundery downpours. what we have at the moment is quite a bit of low cloud, mist and fog, pushing back towards the north sea coastline of north—east england and eastern scotland. with showers developing in the afternoon, some of which will be heavy and thundery, particularly as we travel further west, we could see some get into eastern areas as well. the showers fade through this evening and overnight and we see a return to the low cloud, mist and fog pushing across scotland and northern ireland. it is not going to bea northern ireland. it is not going to be a cold night. overnight lows between nine and 13 degrees. we start off tomorrow with all this low cloud, mist and fog, pushing back to

the north—east coastline. low pressure drifting further eastwards. it will be plentiful showers, some of those getting into the east tomorrow, with highs of 23 degrees.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. i'm victoria derbyshire. back to the high street — thousands of shops in england re—open after nearly three months of lockdown. i don't mind queueing, i don't mind as long as i can get into a shop to see what's available. even with the safety measures i'm still cautious to go out in public and i definitely think as soon as the normal shops open it will be a huge rush. border controls are being lifted across much of europe from today, easing three months of coronavius restrictions. whose lives matter? black lives matter! after two weeks of anti—racism protests, the uk prime minister announces a commission to examine racial inequality. we have to look at discrimination in the education system, in health, in the criminaljustice system.
