rayshard brooks, 27—year—old father of four. his young family appeared before the cameras today. this has become an all too familiar ritual of american life. i can never tell my daughter, "0h, he's coming to take you skating," or a swimming lesson. so... it's just going to be a long time before i heal. how many more protests will it take... ..to ensure that the next victim isn't your cousin, your brother, your uncle, your nephew, your friend or your companion? the press conference ended with a family struggling to contain their emotions. they‘ re demanding that murder charges be brought. rayshard brooks had been

sleeping in his car when he was approached by two white police officers. after failing a breath test, the police tried to arrest him. then came a struggle in which he grabbed one of their tasers. during a brief chase he pointed the taser at the officer, who responded by fatally shooting him in the back. george floyd! so black lives matter is the cry once again. this latest killing fuelling what has become a multiracial, global movement. this has been a moment of reckoning and awakening. but the protesters have seized upon this killing in atlanta as proof that even at this time of heightened racial tensions, the police are continuing to use excessive force. nick bryant, bbc news, new york. atlanta mayor keisha lance bottoms has announced new police reforms which will come into effect immediately after the death of rayshard brooks. she said she couldn't wait for official recommendations

before taking action. police will now be required to de—escalate situations with suspects and intervene if a colleague is using excessive force. we saw the worst happen on friday night with mr brooks. it angered me and it saddens me beyond words. but i know it is my responsibility as mayor of this great city for us to continue to work to put that anger and that sadness into action. and so, this is the first of a series of actions and apps that we will take, and i look forward to continuing to work with all of our community stakeholders. the mayor of atlanta. justin miller is a lawyer for the family of rayshard brooks and hejoins me now from atlanta. thank you for your time. i can imagine how busy you are. how are you be pursuing this case? we are working very hard right

now, there is a lot of stuff going on. so we'rejust now, there is a lot of stuff going on. so we're just going to ta ke going on. so we're just going to take it step—by—step to make sure we do not miss anything. presumably it is going to be very difficult for the police to argue they faced a threat to their lives, since although they knew that rayshard brooks had one of their tasers, when please use a taser, the official argument is always a taser is not lethal. well, when the first stop him or a dui, they check in for weapons. they knew he didn't have a knife or a gun or any other lethal weapon. so him having a taser and shooting backwards, we don't think that was warranting of the force they used to take his life. and if you watch the tape closely you can see the officer went to his gun before mr brooks had taser up, and when mr brooks was turned and running away from him. so he shot him in the back, which was terrible and not warranted at all. can you tell us more about rays ha rd all. can you tell us more about rayshard brooks? all. can you tell us more about raysha rd brooks? we all. can you tell us more about

rayshard brooks? we saw you at the press conference with the family, you're obviously close to them? yes. gosh. mr brooks isa to them? yes. gosh. mr brooks is a father of four, or he was, and he worked at a local tacoria here in the atlanta area. that there was a very important data mr brooks because it was his daughtereighth birthday. he had told his daughter they were going to go skating. when we went to the house that day after the family had found out mr brooks was killed, the daughter had on a very pretty birthday dress. she was prepared and she thought one of us was prepared and she thought one of us was her father coming through the door. sadly, it was not. so he was a good family man, a good guy, and by all accounts, all members of the family said he was a pillar of the family. why was he asleep in the car? he had been faintly

impaired having festivities for the daughter's birthday earlier, he went to his sister but my cows, and decided to go out to grab a burger from a local wendy's just —— he out to grab a burger from a local wendy'sjust —— he had gone to sister's house. what is your response to the mayor's executive order? we think it's a step in the right direction. a lot of reforms need to happen with policing here in america. the police are more of a militarised unit, somewhat of an occupying force, more than the community liaison is they should be. so we think them out‘s order goes towards getting up there but there is a lot more work that needs to be done. and the way police are governed is particular to individual areas. what is your feeling about this in atlanta, georgia? generally believes in

atla nta georgia? generally believes in atlanta are pretty good —— police in atlanta are pretty good, but we are finding when you push a rock over in the wilderness all of the bugs start rolling around and you get to see everything, that happens sometimes here, too. so, you know, we had another case. my partner chris and i, about two weeks ago, the simplest department put kids out of a car, tasered them and used excessive force when it wasn't necessary —— of the police department. so it's happening generally — i know a lot of police officers, and a lot of police officers, and a lot of police officers, and a lot of them agree with me that this needs to. and this has become a national issue and an issue worldwide. why was the turning points for moments of change was that there is still 0k real moment? there have been so 0k real moment? there have been so many and so little has changed. you know, that's a difficult question. it could

be, and it has felt like that before. my partner and i represented george floyd's six—year—old daughter gianna. during that case, and we're still working on though, that was just a couple weeks ago, but we talked and we said this seems like it is really changing, something is about to happen. then you follow up with something like this. it's really ha rd to something like this. it's really hard to say. we would like the protesters and other people to stay are, black people to stay are, black people in other countries to keep protesting, keep fighting, keep protesting, keep fighting, keep letting people know how you feel about this, because thatis you feel about this, because that is the only way things are going to really change. someone now, thank you very much for talking to us. no problem. thank you for having me. the us supreme court has ruled that employers can't fire workers for being gay or transgender. the decision is being hailed as a victory for lgbt employees and campaigners. here's president trump reacting to the ruling earlier on. they've ruled. i read the decision and some people were surprised,

but they've ruled and we live with their decision. that's what it's all about. we live with the decision of the supreme court. very powerful, very powerful decision, actually, but they have so ruled. us president trump of course. we can speak now to charlotte clymer, a tra nsgender activist and us military veteran. shejoins me from washington, dc. thank you for talking to us. what is your response to all of this? i am elated. and surprise, very shocked. i don't think anyone expected a result this good. this was a full land mark —— landmark victory for lg btq rights. mark —— landmark victory for lgbtq rights. it was a conservative majority and the fa ct conservative majority and the fact that we had a 6—3 ruling in favour of full lgbtq employment rights is just enormous. i cannot overstate how big this is for lgbtq

people in the us. the president's reaction was quite careful, i suppose, president's reaction was quite careful, isuppose, givenjust on friday he made a ruling that went very much in the other direction. yes. he put in a regulation in place that would essentially allow medical personnel to deny even life—saving healthcare to lgbtq people, but specifically trans— people, but specifically trans— people, so they can present has something like a cold or ammonia or a broken arm and they go to the emergency room, this regulation would allow doctors to turn them away. —— pneumonia. so will this ruling a fa ct pneumonia. so will this ruling a fact that the president has done at all? no, it won't, this only applies to employment discrimination. that is why we need to get the equality act past. let depending on who wins the election. the human rights

campaign has already launched a lawsuit against the administration on this legislation. i think we will be victorious in the end. let you talk about the surprise at the supreme court ruling. it has often been the case that justices who were appointed for what was seen to be there conservative viewpoint have become more of a wildcard once they have been on the bench a while? that's right. that's right. justice kennedy, when he was appointed was said to be more conservative. then he turned out to be quite fantastic for the lg btq community. there have been a number of justices appointed under president bush, president reagan, who turned out to be quite beneficial to liberal causes. i didn't mean to interruptive. causes. i didn't mean to interru ptive. thank you causes. i didn't mean to interruptive. thank you very much. i'm sure we will talk to you again. thank you. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: the biggest easing of lockdown in england as clothing shops and department stores reopen.

there was a bomb in the city centre. a code word known to be one used by the ira was given. army bomb experts were examining a suspect van when there was a huge explosion. the south african parliament has destroyed the foundation of apartheid by abolishing the population registration act, which for 40 years, forcibly classified each citizen according to race. just a day old, and the royal baby is tonight sleeping in his cot at home. early this evening, the new prince was taken by his mother and father to their apartments in kensington palace. germany's parliament, the bundestag, has voted by a narrow majority to move the seat of government from bonn to berlin. berliners celebrated into the night, but the decision was greeted with shock in bonn. the real focus of attention today was valentina tereshkova, the world's first woman cosmonaut. what do you think of the russian woman in space? i think it's a wonderful achievement and i think we might be able to persuade the wife it would be a good

idea if i could to get her to go up there for a little while. welcome back. very good to have you with us on a bbc news. the latest headlines: the family of another african—american man killed by police speak of their grief and call for action. in a landmark ruling in the us, the supreme court says it's illegal to fire someone based on their sexuality. much of europe has emerged from a cocoon of coronavirus restrictions. three months after the pandemic prompted many countries to lock down, the european union is encouraging member states to get people and the economy moving across borders. but a patchwork of restrictions remain. france is asking most arrivals from britain and spain to self—isolate for fourteen days. as reged ahmad reports, much of the focus is on making tourism safe. majorca's blue, sunshine—filled coastline. it's a favourite holiday destination, and now some

tourists are finally returning. these sun seekers are the first to arrive since spain shut its borders during the worst of the coronavirus pandemic. they are part of a pilot project to see how mass tourism can work in the time of covid—i9 ahead of further restrictions being eased next week. there are infrared cameras at the airport, and hotels are limited to 50% capacity. translation: we come to majorca regularly. and on first appearance, nothing is any different. the flow was a bit special. there was a lot going on due to the present situation, but we wanted to come on a relaxing holiday, and that is what we are going to get here nevertheless. applause hotel staff here, all wearing masks, are clapping as the first tourists arrive. spain has suffered in the coronavirus pandemic, and was one of the hardest hit countries on the continent. it's now desperate for the tourist dollar to return and keen to show holiday—makers

it's safe to come back. translation: if somebody were to get covid, that person would immediately be transferred to a different accommodation. so as to be isolated and therefore be able to have a holiday that's as dignified as possible. in greece, which successfully contained the virus to just a few thousand cases, the first foreign tourists have started returning, too. the country has opened its two main airports to international flights, and there will be testing of passengers arriving from airports deemed high risk. launching greece's summer season on the weekend, the prime minister said he wanted to make the country the safest destination in europe. there is a desire, too, to kick—start its vital tourism sector after months of lockdown, and safety will be the key to keeping it going. reged ahmad, bbc news.

as europe opens up, beijing is shutting down. chinese authorities are racing to contain a new coronavirus outbreak in the capital. it's a sign of how precarious this process is. all entertainment and indoor sports venues are being closed, and 21 housing estates have been locked down as cases increase. the city had previously seen no signs of the virus for more than 50 days. stephen mcdonell reports. residents in large parts of south—western beijing are again behind fences, with fears that a second wave of the coronavirus could take hold. housing estate have been sealed off to all but those who live there. deliveries must be made to the perimeter fence only. shops, schools and some public transport have been closed. translation: i'd be lying if i said i wasn't worried. i came to beijing on the 13th. if this was one day later, then i definitely wouldn't be able to come. right now, there aren't many people on the subway. there aren't as many as before. in beijing today, dozens of new confirmed coronavirus infections have been added

to the tally, which has been growing since the end of last week. it may not sounds like many, but it has caused quite some concern, especially when you consider from where the cluster has emanated. the massive wholesale market, responsible for 80% of the city's vegetables and meat, has been shut for cleaning and testing. all the infections in this cluster have been traced back to the market in some way. chinese officials say they are hoping to test up to 200,000 people who visited xin fa di in the last two weeks. as well as 90,000 residents. in the response to beijing's cluster, we are seeing the best and the worst of china's communist party. 0n the one hand, the speed and the scale of the social isolation of the testing has been something to behold. 0n the other, the party has also been criticised for going after scapegoats and dismissing local officials

on whose watch the outbreak occurred. if you wanted to guarantee a culture whereby cover—up was your first choice, rather than open reporting, there is probably not a better way to do it. stephen mcdonnell, bbc news, beijing. meanwhile, here in england there was the unfamiliar sight of shoppers on the high street as clothes shops and department stores opened their doors for the first time since lockdown. at one store in central london scuffles broke out as customers tried to cram in. but despite long, socially distant queues outside some retailers, the number of people taking the opportunity of some retail therapy was just a third of what it would usually be. here's our business correspondent, emma simpson. the doors are finally open — a big moment for retailers who have lost billions of pounds in sales, and we are ready for some retail therapy too. birmingham, 7:30am. this is what happens when our high streets come out of hibernation after three long months. queues, and in lots of other places too, with primark drawing the biggest crowds. i got the day off workjust to come. really excited,

a bit of normality. like a good shopping spree is not the same as online shopping. just as long as you use your disinfectant, your anti—sort of thing, and keep your distance, it's absolutely fine. i think this will be the way of life for a long time. hopefully not like this, though. the re—opening at nike town on oxford street was farfrom orderly. small shops are back in business, too. in bishop auckland, wendy's relieved to be open. it's absolutely amazing. it's been a long time coming. i think we just need to keep encouraging customers, let them know it's safe to come into shops again, making sure we have our safety measures in place. safe, but different. just look at the beauty counters here. so we have put shields here in front of the till points, we have our visors. we have also removed all our testers, and along our beauty halls, all of our chairs have now gone to avoid touch. touch is unavoidable if you're trying on trainers. atjd sports they'll be sanitised straight after,

if you don't buy. extraordinary measures, but the boss of this business told me that two—metre rule has to be relaxed. i think it's economically unviable with that distancing in place. you just cannot allow a sufficient number of potential customers inside a store to give it an economic chance. it's all very well, queueing on a day like this, but how many of us will be prepared to do this all the time, for stuff that maybe isn't essential? some are still too nervous to come out. there is clearly some pent—up demand today, but the big question for retailers and the economy is, will it last? rushden lakes retail park springing back into life today, but some think shopping isn't going back to what it used to be. oh, i think there will be less retail for sure. physical retail will lessen.

but interestingly, we'll probably get better physical retail. local is going to be more important. i think what's going to suffer are the big town centres, when you have to have a real reason to go there. they won't be going to this debenham's store in gateshead. it's one of 20 shut for good. some big household names have disappeared from the high street altogether during lockdown, with more casualties to come. the great retail re—opening is under way, but it's far from business as usual. emma simpson, bbc news. the england and manchester united footballer marcus rashford has been speaking about his own childhood experiences of poverty and being short of food as he campaigns for the government to provide free school meal vouchers for vulnerable children throughout the school holidays. he's written to every mp and has already helping to raise 20 million for food for low income families during the lockdown. 0ur education correspondent elaine dunkley reports.

he's a hero on the pitch, and one of manchester united's highest earning players, but marcus rashford has not forgotten his roots. he has raised £20 million to supply meals to families in what he calls the pandemic of food poverty. in an emotional letter, he described how his mother, a single parent, struggled to feed her five children while earning the minimum wage. my mum did the best she could. we used to go to a shop called pound world, and everything was under a pound. we would sort of schedule out the week. we would get seven yoghurts and you could have one per day. this is going on at a time when kids should be concentrating on school work and it's crazy to think this is still going on in 2020. it is something i don't believe should be happening. marcus rashford grew up in wythenshawe on what was once thought to be the largest

council estate in europe. he went to this primary school... he's a real hero to our children. ..where the number of children receiving free school meals is twice the national average. families may have unemployment that has come as a result of covid—i9, they may be on reduced hours, so financially there has been a strain. so what marcus is saying is really quite a small ask i think. in the local shopping precinct, i met gemma. both her children are among the 1.3 million youngsters in england who receive free school meals. she says keeping them fed is a constant struggle. try living our life for a week. it's not fun. i wish we all knew where we were next going to get shopping, or what's going to happen. whether in work or out of work, families here are feeling the pressure. the government has confirmed the national voucher scheme will not run during the summer but says £63 million has been allocated to local authorities

to help those struggling. marcus rashford hopes they will change their mind and find what's believed to be around £120 million to fund the voucher scheme over the holidays. basically i'm hoping the government make a u—turn on the decision to stop the free meal vouchers, and i'm hoping they do it as soon as possible really. i know they've mentioned that they usually do this, this time of year, summer holidays, but because of covid, the situation's been completely different for everyone in the world, so circumstances change so they have to be willing to make the decision to go back on themselves. marcus rashford ending that report from elaine dunkley. there is much more for you any time on all the news, national, and international, on the bbc news website. and you can get in touch with me and most of the team on twitter — i'm @bbcmikeembley.

thank you for watching. hello there. the phrase sunshine and showers can at times seem quite trivial, can't it? in the thundering downpours on monday, you knew about it. there was a lot of heavy rain and a very sort space of time. if you take a look at the rain radar and the thunder and lightning strikes as he went to the afternoon, they were quite frequent across southwest scotland, northwest england and north wales. it looks as though tuesday, we could see more showers ina similararea. plenty of showers across europe as well, all under the influence of low pressure at the moment. starts off with a fair amount of cloud across eastern half

of the uk, rolling in off the north sea, that will slowly burn away. we'll see sunny spells and chatters hours developing. showers widespread across england and wales but they have heaviest across wales and northwest england. there could be around an inch of rain falling within an hour, and that potentially is heavy enough to cause localised flooding. but dodge the showers, keep some sunshine, temperatures peaking at 23 degrees. that's the mid—70s in terms of fahrenheit. as we move through tuesday evening, the showers are likely to continue for a while and then start to fade away overnight. once again, we'll see some cloud filtering from the north sea. but it's going to be a relatively mild, foggy night. double figures across the country, in some areas around 13—14 degrees. it's a repeat performance almost as we move into wednesday. lots of cloud or on the east coast. that burns away, sunshine comes

through and we see more showers around on wednesday. yet again, some could be heavy and thundery. temperatures still peeking between 14—23 degrees. as we move out of wednesday into thursday, there's likely to be a change with more heavy, persistent rain from a frontal system. still a level of uncertainty where that's going to be sitting across england and wales, but it will bring some further outbreaks of rain on thursday, friday. just want to end on a glimpse of good news as we had towards the weekend. things will be likely to quiet down. dry and sunny for all of us and just that little bit warmer.
