tonight at ten: we go back to wuhan, the chinese city where the global pandemic started. we visit the wet market blamed by some for being the source of the virus, and consider the latest evidence for the likely cause. as the number of new cases in china starts to rise sharply in some areas, we investigate theories that the virus might even have been created in a laboratory. you have to wonder what possibility there is of the chinese government holding a genuinely independent inquiry into this place if you can‘t even film here in full public view. we‘ll have a special report from our correspondentjohn sudworth, who‘s been in wuhan. hello, welcome to outside source. also tonight... atlanta's top prosecutor issues showing support for black lives matter, the premier league is back arrest warrants for the police after a three—month gap, officers involved in the fatal shooting of rayshard brooks. but behind closed doors. with murder. this is the scene live we will have more reaction. a warning from a leading theatre producer that some of the biggest productions won‘t reopen

in london‘s west end this year. and tributes to the great wt — mr brooks never presented himself as snooker‘s willie thorne, a threat. one of the game‘s most popular more bombshells from john bolton. figures for decades, the former national security adviser who‘s died at 66. claims that president trump openly courted china's support and in other sports news, uefa reveal their schedule for august for his re—election bid. mini tournaments in portugal, the governing body of germany and spain to decide the champions and europa leagues. an oxford university college votes to remove a statue of 19th century colonialist cecil rhodes from its facade. and something to cheer up football fans, the english premier league has restarted, 100 days after the last match. welcome. good evening. in the past few minutes white police officer garrett rolfe has been charged with the murder of rayshaun brooks african american man who was shot twice in the back. his district attorney. his district attorney. mr brooks never presented himself as a threat. at the very beginning he was

peacefully asleep in his car was up after he was awakened by the officer, he was cooperative and he was directed to move his car to another location, he calmly moved his car. mr brooks was asked whether or not he had a weapon, he indicated that he did not. without any resistance he passed his drivers licence to the officers and the officers then asked mr brooks whether or not he would consent to a pat—down or a body search. and mr brooks allowed them to search him. and the search yielded no weapon. we found that it was of interest that when the officers patted mr brooks down, they noticed there was a bulge in his pants. they did not pull that item out of his pocket, they took mr brooks his word that that buldge represented a number of dollar bills.

that was the district attorney in fullerton county given that announcement about the charges against garrett rolfe the former police officer in atlanta. here's a reminder of what happened to rayshard brooks. these bodycam images show him being stopped by two white police officers in a restaurant car park late on friday. as he's handcuffed he struggles and breaks free. these images show what happens next. investigators say mr brooks was shot after he seized a taser from an officer as he fled from the scene. the mayor of atlanta and other politicians have said the use of lethal force by police was not justified in this case. atlanta's police chief quit and the police officer suspected of shooting mr brooks was fired. the shooting came just weeks after another black man, george floyd, was killed in custody in minneapolis, and provoked another wave of anti—racism protests. these pictures show the huge protests in atlanta at the weekend. the wendy's drive—through restaurant

where mr brooks was stopped was set on fire on saturday night. let's talk through exactly what we heard in atlanta over the last few minutes. let's talk through exactly what we heard in atlanta minutes. gary o'donoghue joins us live from washington. we heard there from the district attorney that a murder charge has been filed against a form a atlanta police officer garrett rolfe. just talk us through the other charges and what else we heard the evidence that was presented in court. we've heard in an awful lot more detail than we knew before about what happened last friday night. we know now for example, that this encounter between mr brooks and the police lasted for 41 minutes. from beginning to end. the district attorney said that mr brooks at all times was calm, he was cordial, he was cooperative, he never presented a threat. he was almostjovial.

we've learned that the officer who shot him twice in the back didn't provide medical assistance to him. we knew that he was running away from that officer. which prohibits that officer from firing a taser let alone a gun. we know that that officer discharge a third shot which is also going to face charges over which went into another vehicle closed by the scene. we also learned shockingly now, that both officers garrett rolfe and devin brosnan assaulted mr brooks while he was on the ground. that garrett rolfe kicked him and devin brosnan stood on his shoulder while failing to give him medical attention. the main charge for garrett rolfe facing is friendly knee murder. that means murder charge that is —— felony. a murder charge that is —— felony. a murder charge that takes place in the process of committing another offense. in this case aggravated assault. the maximum penalty for thatis assault. the maximum penalty for that is life imprisonment or the

death penalty in georgia. georgia has the death penalty. the other officer devin brosnan intriguingly has decided become a fit state witness in this case. and i can't emphasise enough, police officers rarely if ever testify against their collea g u es rarely if ever testify against their colleagues in cases like this. it is incredibly rare. so this will make all sorts of important sort of, landmarks in this case because of that decision. he is expected, devin brosnan, to make a statement in the coming days. he's been granted bail. the other officer garrett rolfe is facing a murder charge, will be taken into facing a murder charge, will be ta ken into custody. facing a murder charge, will be taken into custody. gary, thank you very much for that update. stay with us because earlier today,. senate republicans have unveiled a new police reform bill in the wake of the death of george floyd. unlike the rival democratic party

legislation, the republican bill is not expected to ban police chokeholds or allow victims of misconduct to sue police. instead it will rely on financial incentives to encourage adoption of reforms. the bill was crafted by senator tim scott, the chamber‘s only black republican. here he is. too often we are having a discussion in this nation about, are you supporting the law enforcement community or are you supporting communities of colour? this is a false binary choice. if the answer to the question of, which side do you support? it's, i support america. and if you support america, you support restoring the confidence that communities of colour have in institutions of authority. if you support america that means you know that the overwhelming number of officers in this nation want to do theirjob, go home to their family. it is not a binary choice. meanwhile the brother of george floyd has asked the united nations to set up an independent commission to investigate the deaths of black

people at the hands of us police. he told the un human rights council in geneva via video link that the whole world saw how his brother was tortured and killed in minneapolis. my brother, george floyd, is one of the many black men and women that have been murdered by police in recent years. the sad truth is that the case is not unique. the way you saw my brother tortured and murdered on camera is the way black people are treated by police in america. you watched my brother die. that could have been me. i am my brother's keeper. you in the united nations are your brothers‘ and sisters' keepers in america, and you have the power to help us getjustice for my brother, george floyd. i'm asking you to help him. i'm asking you to help me. i'm asking you to help us black people in america.

powerful words there, the brother of george floyd. gary, listening to that against the backdrop of what we re that against the backdrop of what were talking about the senate republicans unveiling a new police reform bill. how significant is that and how different is it from what's going on before? wealthy senate republicans led by tim scott the only republican from an african american background have out long their plans there are some differences between what democrats are planning on voting on in the house of representatives next week. both bills in a sense will go through their own houses. at the same sort of time. the question after that is whether or not if they both get through those votes, whether or not they can be reconciled. because the text has to be the same for it to become law. there are some key differences. things such as qualified immunity,

whether police officers can be prosecuted in the civil courts. democrats want that very much to happen republicans very much do not wa nt happen republicans very much do not want that to happen. differences over whether or not to ban choke holds, for example. to federally ban them. republicans want to incentivize police department to do that. democrats want to tell them to do that. there are differences will see if they can work that out that's all against the background of the white house and the president laying out his own executive order plans. which address some of these issues but not all. i think the question in the coming weeks will be whether or not they can find any compromise that will please everyone. i suspect they won't sit find a compromise that will please everyone. but will it be some sort of step towards regular rising and restricting the account of force and delete police officers are using in this kind of situation. where black men seem to keep ending up dying. gary thank you

very much for that. just to bring you the breaking news in atla nta. just to bring you the breaking news in atlanta. the atlanta police officer is to face eight murder charge for that murder of rayshaun brooks who was shot in the back as he fled the officer on the 12th of junein he fled the officer on the 12th of june in atlanta. this is a c there live you can see on your screen the fullerton county district attorney who made that announcement a short time ago. we also understand that the other officer is present at the scene has now become a state witness. more to come on this breaking news. more to come on this breaking news. several reminders that covid—19 is very much still with us and perhaps wasn't contained in the first place. we'll have updates from china, new zealand and germany but first, the us. where cases have now passed 2.1 million. another 116—thousand people have died. the virus shows no sign of slowing. in the past two weeks — 19 us states have seen

the number of new cases go up. these are just a few of them. in many of these states, restrictions had eased. lets look at texas, florida and arizona — which all reported their biggest one—day increases. california came next with 2,108 cases recorded in just one day. the us is the worst affected by covid—19 in the world by far. if you look at how it stacks up against some european countries. here you have the uk , spain and italy, which were badly affected by coronavirus. however, nowhere has the level matched that of the us. for most, those statistics would be eye—watering. however, president trump — who is planning a campaign rally in tulsa this weekend — attributed it to this: "our testing

his vice president mike pence downplayed it too. in the wall streetjournal he wrote. " the government's top infectious disease expert anthony fauci has spoken to the wall streetjournal — but stressed another point. he said the us is very much still in a first wave of infections. he gave a reason for this: "when i look at the tv and i see that's very risky," "and in perhaps a direct message to the president he added this: that the rise of positive tests across states ‘cannot be explained by increased testing.‘ jeff flake was a republican senator — and a long time critic of president trump. this is his take on the spike in numbers.

i think the states, the governors, mayors and others by and large are reacting as they should. trying to balance the needs of their constituents to get back to work. and for an economy that‘s functioning so that we can address the situation like this. i don‘t think the federal leadership has been particularly good. but governors and mayors and others by and large i think are treating it as they should. america‘s reponse to the pandemic has been split along party lines. reuters helps us explain why: according to its analysis in may, democratic deaths from covid—19 were triple republicans ones. we know the disease took hold in densely packed democratic voting cities like new york and chicago. however — one month on, and that pattern of infection is changing. the economist reports the infections are rising fastest outside the biggest cities first afflicted —

and now taking root in republican voting areas. william frey is a demographer and senior fellow at the brookings institution. he‘s been looking into the coronavirus numbers across the us and joins me from washington. very good of you to join us. thank you for being with us this evening. looking at the us mass of the virus what are you understanding giving that there was a school of thought that there was a school of thought that this was perhaps only limited towards those states that were leaning towards politics that were democratic. now would you say that‘s com pletely democratic. now would you say that‘s completely misguided ?|j democratic. now would you say that‘s completely misguided? i think it really is a bad way to look at it. early on in this epidemic it specially in democratic states and urban areas were at the core of the coronavirus. it really since the end of april and now for the past three

weeks particularly, the movement is to the south and to the west, to states that are either republican states that are either republican states are what we would call swing states are what we would call swing states and that means in the next election they could either go democrat or republican. and you mentioned arizona, texas could be in that category as well as florida. it's that category as well as florida. it‘s ramping up in those areas. and particularly in the small towns. in the rural areas of those states. those are the most republican parts of the states was up that initially the president sort of warded off and say, we don‘t really need to take too much precaution here, this is mostly in urban blue state type of epidemic. it's really interesting when there is much research and pouring over the numbers when the initial outbreak in those democratic states, for it you what was the direct link then? i think initially what was going on was this was happening and very racially diverse,

high density urban areas. at the end of march most of the cases were in the new york metropolitan area. and clearly that‘s a democratic bastion. as we move into the end of april, things have moved out to the midwest and especially the south. the southern parts of the united states, states like georgia and alabama, mississippi was out and now more recently in texas wasn‘t the last three weeks had a huge growth in pandemic in texas. taking over more and more cases and we also see that in north carolina and arizona and florida. i‘m not a public health person, i‘m a demographer but i look very carefully at the demography of this spread and i see this is moving to parts of the country that really are not urban at all. and it‘s spreading out a week by week basis. especially in what we call the sunbelt. the south and west regions the united states will stop there is

so the united states will stop there is so much more to ask you but u nfortu nately we have ru n so much more to ask you but unfortunately we have run out of time. thank you very much for being with us. stay with us on oustide source, still to come: flights cancelled, and people restricted from leaving beijing — the latest on the virus containment — as a spike in cases continues. in the uk, care home visits have been banned because of the pandemic. now there are calls for the government to allow people back in to visit their loved ones. this care home in oxfordshire has allowed some to visit their loved ones outside only with a safe distance with plenty of sad tatian. we've obviously had to keep things very safe and abide by regulations. but we thought it was very important that we did something to bridge that 95p~ that we did something to bridge that gap. but not all care homes are

allowing visits like this yet. some places don‘t have the facilities are spaced somewhat more guidance by the government. as a lock gradually eases around the many in the care sector says they must have an exit plan to. i understand the government is actively looking at this issue and the guidance will be updated fairly soon. it is complex. and care providers of the first to say it‘s safety must be paramount. but they say the risk of the virus must be balanced with the risk for continued lockdown poses to general health. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. let‘s bring you up—to—date with the latest in the us and white police officer has been charged with the murder of rayshaun brooks in african—american man who shot twice in the back in atlanta. another piece of breaking news. the

another piece of breaking news. the governing body of an oxford university college has voted in favour of removing a statue of 19th century colonialist cecil rhodes from its facade. of 19th century colonialist cecil oriel college had been under pressure for several years from the #rhodesmustfall movement, a campaign by students who argued the statue of rhodes glorified racism, but the college had previously resisted calls to remove it. joining us live is shaista aziz, one of the councillors in oxford who has been calling for the controversial statue of cecil rhodes to be taken down. thank you very much forjoining us. firstly, your reaction to this news. hello. i very much welcome the couege hello. i very much welcome the college making the announcement this evening. it‘s been long overdue. give credit where credit is due they decided to do the right thing and i think it‘s important to acknowledge that. i also think that this is a

massive victory for the students who‘ve been campaigning with the roads must fall campaign. but also the other student groups like common ground and activists in the city of oxford including one of our elders, black eldersjulie oxford including one of our elders, black elders julie james. who oxford including one of our elders, black eldersjuliejames. who has been working very closely with campaigners as well. this is obviously in the wider context of the black lives matter movement. and we cannot detract from that either. all the pieces of the jigsaw or have finally come together. it also people in my city, i‘m born and raised in oxford, i‘ve never seen so many people from our city taking to the streets of our city to demand the streets of our city to demand the statue goes. but this is not just about one statue, this is about movement for racialjustice just about one statue, this is about movement for racial justice and equality. why though was it so important for this sector to be removed? for you important for this sector to be removed ? for you what important for this sector to be removed? for you what does this represent? i'm someone born and raised in the city. oxford is a very divided city. we have a town and we have a down and they very rarely meet. as a child you go to the high

street on the bus looking up and seeing that statue out loud, proud british imperialist looking literally down on the people of our city. it‘s just not acceptable. and so city. it‘s just not acceptable. and so there‘s been thousands of people over the last three weeks taking to oui’ over the last three weeks taking to our parks and to the centre of our city to demand the statute removed. this is not just city to demand the statute removed. this is notjust about the university or the college, it‘s about the people in the city. i think that finally we got to a situation where the college is acknowledging this as well. this is the bigger picture. symbolism of colonialism, the colonial empire that britain built are everywhere in this country. but there is no dialogue, no discussion, we are never talked about, what this actually really means. for people of colour and black people. and wider society of what to look back as well for some i think it‘s important we now start this dialogue. thank you very much forjoining us. the controversial statue is to be taken down. moving on to the

former national security adviser. america‘s fromer national security adviserjohn bolton has a book coming out next week and excerpts have bee published in us media. they make for interesting reading. the new york times says john boltons recalls donald trump "pleading with china‘s president xi jinping to ensure he‘d win the 2020 electoin. he stressed the importance of farmers, and increased chinese purchases of soybeans and wheat in the electoral outcome. on witholding aid to ukraine mr. bolton writes, donald trump "said he wasn‘t in favour of sending them anything until all the russia—investigation materials related to clinton and biden had been turned over. quite electric stuff. anthony zurcherjoins us live from washington, is the pattern of infection changing? as you mentioned that allegation about ukraine holding up us military aid to ukraine until ukraine provided information, damaging information about joe

provided information, damaging information aboutjoe biden, that was at the very heart of the democratic congressman, democratic house of representatives case against donald trump impeachment case. where they were calling for his removal. john pulled in effectively confirming this. i think you‘ll see a lot of democrats ate well, why didn‘t he come forward with this information six months ago when the impeachment wasn‘t proceeding? so they could have used it in the case against him. more broadly, a lot of this sounds familiar, as far as the administration making allegations that the president is not interested in details, is uninformed about key elements of foreign policy. and so it is not surprising in that regard. with each new antidote i think it‘s damaging to the president and damaging to the president and damaging to the presidents reelection efforts. any news or a reaction from president trump to this? because usually when something like this happen we get a quick delete next week, don‘t we? like this happen we get a quick delete next week, don't we? yeah, i expect we will see a tweet sooner or

later. at a press event earlier today on veterans who suicide prevention, he did not take questions from the media after that. i‘m sure he would have been asked about it if you need allow that. i think the white house will be something along the lines ofjohn bolton is a disgruntled former employee who clashed heads with donald trump over foreign policy. and now he‘s just trying to sell books. i don‘t think it‘s too far a stretch to remember that‘s the response. that‘s the response they‘ve had towards other critics who have been in the white house and other questions whether that will have teeth. thank you very much for that. you‘re watching outside source. before we go ijust wa nt to outside source. before we go ijust want to bring you a reminder of the breaking news. prosecutors in atla nta breaking news. prosecutors in atlanta in the united states at ne and georgia have charged a white former police officer at garrett rolfe with 11 offences including murder following the killing

rolfe with 11 offences including murderfollowing the killing of rolfe with 11 offences including murder following the killing of an african—american man, rayshaun brooks in a restaurant car park in the city on the 12th ofjune. the former officer could face the death penalty if he is found guilty. we will have more on that to come of course here on bbc news. stay with us course here on bbc news. stay with us and of course you can get in touch with myself and the team on twitter. have a great day, thanks forjoining us. hello. it‘s been a volatile weather day again. the atmosphere releasing its energy in the form of thunderstorms. the other thing is that missed eat low cloud that‘s been with us for several days in some parts of the northeast coast of scotla nd some parts of the northeast coast of scotland and england. it will continue for the rest of the week as will be thunderstorms. the torrential downpour is with a hail and locally wins leading to flash flooding. this is just and locally wins leading to flash flooding. this isjust how and locally wins leading to flash flooding. this is just how active the atmosphere has been. during the evening so far those storms starting to push further northwards. and rains coming in off the north sea.

showers and thunderstorms is way more persistent rain coming into eastern england and the low cloud returning to many central eastern parts of england and scotland. it‘s going to be a warm night, a murky night for many. a little cooler in the glens of scotland. it will be quite a misty start with some fog on thursday morning. that will burn back to the north sea coast eventually. away from the low lands as well. eventually we will see more sunshine coming out and fewer showers for scotland and northern ireland. but our main is pushing west towards northern ireland and scotla nd west towards northern ireland and scotland to the latter part of the afternoon. and to the south as it clears away the sun comes out come of the ingredients there again for some slow—moving showers and thunderstorms across england and wales. with a lot of rain falling in a short space of time and some locally squally wins. so the spray and the standing water will make for some pretty nasty driving condition and there could be some flash flooding too. but it‘s warm, warm and muggy for most of us. quite warm

though in that sunshine across the northwestern parts of scotland. thursday evening overnight that ring continues across parts of scotland and northern ireland. elsewhere at the mist, the low cloud returns and again we are not changing the air so it will feel quite warm as we head into friday morning. and again, friday is another day of sunny spells best of which will be in the morning and the mist and low cloud clears away the fog as well. showers will tend to develop a time. quite large and quite active slow moving showers again. initially in western areas developing more widely further east. it will feel still quite muggy. it mayjust freshen up a little bit further west and that‘s because we got atlantic low pressures coming in all two for the weekend. with them fresher air but somewhat and windy weather. as ever there is more on the website which is where you will find warnings as well.

hello, welcome to outside source. in the us a white police officer has been charged with the murder of rayshard brooks, an african—american man who was shot twice in the back in atlanta. mr brooks never presented himself as a threat. more bombshells from john bolton. the former national security adviser claims that president trump openly

courted china‘s support for his re—election bid. the governing body of an oxford university college votes to remove a statue of 19th century colonialist cecil rhodes from its facade. and something to cheer up football fans — the english premier league has restarted — 100 days after the last match. welcome. next — let‘s bring you up to date on those clashes on monday between india and china in a disputed himalayan border area. the two countries‘ foreign ministers promised not to escalate tensions in a phone call. but they each lodged protests with the other — and they still dispute what happened. here‘s what the indian prime minister said earlier. translation: for us, the unity and integrity of the country is the most important, and nobody can stop us from defending that. no one should have any doubt or a misconception

about that. we‘re still not sure exactly what happened — but here‘s what we do know. the fighting took place here, in the galwan river valley area. the de facto border, called the line of actual control, is poorly demarcated — there are chinese and indian troops stationed on their respective sides. as you can see from these satellite pictures, it‘s rocky, dangerous territory. the presence of rivers, lakes and snowcaps means the line can shift, something that‘s led to skirmishes between the two sides before — though this is the first deadly clash at the disputed border for at least 45 years. india says china tried to erect a structure inside indian territory, and that is what triggered the clashes on monday. but china says indian troops attacked first. here‘s a foreign ministry spokesman. translation: astonishingly,

on the 15th ofjune indian troops seriously violated the consensus and cross the line of actual control for illegal activities. they provoked and attacked chinese personnel which led to fears of a physical confrontation between border troops. china has launched stern protests with the indian side. we once again ask india to act in the consensus and to strictly discipline its front line troops not to cross the line and to make provocations or take unilateral actions that may complicate the situation. whatever the trigger was — we now know 20 indian soldiers were killed. and the reports coming out of indian media suggest the fighting was brutal. there are reports of soldiers engaging in direct hand—to—hand combat, and of soldiers falling or being pushed into a river. a senior indian military official told the bbc there were 55 indians versus 300 chinese, who he described as "the death squad".

"they hit our boys on the head with metal batons wrapped in barbed wire. our boys fought with bare hands," that‘s from an officer, who did not want to be named. there‘s not a lot of information coming out from the chinese side. ananth krishnan, a journalist for an indian paper, tweeted today — we‘ve had no confirmation from the chinese side whether any chinese troops were killed, though the indian army says there were casualties on both sides. the editor of the global times, which is a state—backed chinese newpaper, had this explanation: "my understanding is the chinese side doesn‘t want people of the two countries to compare the casualties

number so to avoid stoking public mood. this is goodwill from beijing." whether or not you take that ‘goodwill‘ at face value, it‘s fair to say a large section of the indian public certainly has not. this was earlier today in uttar pradesh — people protesting the killings and burning an effigy of the chinese president xi jinping. there were protests in other parts of india too — with people calling for boycotts of chinese goods. here‘s arunoday mukharji in delhi with more on the official response. it was the first phone conversation between the foreign ministers of both countries in which india — and we have the statement as per the indian ministry of external affairs which was just released a short while back — saying that india has lodged a very serious and strong protest with the chinese government. they‘ve laid the blame squarely on the chinese for transgressing, also saying that this was in violation of the agreements that

were arrived upon on the 6th ofjune at a commanders meeting. india is also saying that there was considerable as we have a serious impact however in the end of the conversation, both sides — and this has been emphasised — both sides have agreed not to take any steps which would escalate the tension and essentially ensure that peace and tranquility is maintained along the border, and i think that is the key takeaway from that conversation, the first conversation between both governments taking place and that is how it ended. for all the official talk of de—escalation, chinese state media did broadcast this — what it called ‘recent‘ footage of a high—altitude military drill. here‘s howard zhang from bbc chinese. at this very moment i think both governments are speaking the same language but against each other. both pointing fingers saying you violated the agreement and you were

the ones that crossed the line. since no third—party was there to prove we will have more details but it‘s very difficult to say. do visit the bbc news website, there isa do visit the bbc news website, there is a comprehensive guide on the tensions they taken from our generalists from bbc chinese and bbc india as well. brazil has recorded 35,000 new cases of coronavirus in a single day. that‘s a record number which means by the end of the week the country is likely to pass the grim milestone of having 1 million confirmed cases. brazil has had more than 880,000 confirmed cases — the second highest in the world. other countries in the region, including mexico, chile and peru, are also struggling to contain major outbreaks. but unlike in the us and most countries in europe, many countries in latin america are seeing their daily cases

and deaths increase. looking at brazil, mexico and peru, compared with italy, the first country in europe to be hit by the virus — you can see daily deaths are growing in these latin american nations as they drop elsewhere. in the central american state of honduras, the president — juan orlando hernandez — has been hospitalised, where he is undergoing treatment for pneumonia, according to health officials. he recently announced that he had contracted covid—19 in a televised statement. translation: i wanted to communicate that during this weekend i started to feel some discomfort. and today i have been diagnosed with cove at 19. —— covid—19. now the fight against number 19 has intensified and because we have depicted from the opinions of experts that we are going to have an increase of the

number of contagious. which means the hospitals will begin to become full which of forcing us to install more emergency facilities. despite the growing number of coronavirus cases in brasil, the presidentjair bolsonaro is keen to press ahead with ending lockdown restrictions, to limit damage to the country‘s economy. katy watson reports from sao paulo. every few days now brazil hits another grim milestone. and now stands at more than 45,000. in the past 24 hours has registered nearly 35,000 new cases. another record. only a matter of days before it hits 1 million infections in brazil. what is the government doing about it? very little on the face of it. the brazilian president continues not to say much and when he does he plays down the virus. one of his officials yesterday to the country with managing the virus well, and tragedy of like the criticism of the handling of the crisis by saying that the country is big, and will

you look at per million inhabitants numbers are better than they have are in places like the uk and belgium. but the world health organisation says brazil is a major concern. all the while cities like here and sao paulo are opening up. and scientists warned that the country is not yet through the worst of it. stay with us on oustide source, still to come: flights cancelled, and people restricted from leaving beijing — the latest on the virus containment — as a spike in cases continues. the footballer marcus rashford says he wants to do more to help those in need after winning a battle to have a free school meal voucher scheme extended. the manchester united and england player‘s campaign prompted a government u—turn that means parents will be able to claim vouchers for around 1.3 million children in england over the summer holidays. here‘s our education

correspondent elaine dunkley. the government said that by summer they are going to stop free school meals, but then marcus rashford said you can‘t because some people don‘t have enough money. both on and off the pitch, marcus rashford is a hero to these children. what did you think of him? inspiring and thoughtful. at his old primary school in manchester there is real pride. it shows that people who can grow up here can change the world. i think it's been a really kind thing for the people who don't have enough money to even survive. nearly a quarter of the children at this school are on free school meals. it was children like these that marcus rashford was determined not to leave behind. obviously in the areas that i grew up in, i knewa lot of

different people, and a lot of families that will still be going through it now. and it‘s not so much about my family any more, because obviously the situation has changed, and ijust don‘t want people to go through the same things. the challenges of poverty extend beyond free school meals. there‘s growing unemployment, issues around universal credits, and families facing financial hardship. this pandemic highlights just how deep inequalities are. marcus rashford says this week‘s victory is just the first and what he hopes will be a winning streak in his campaign to help struggling families. elaine dunkley, bbc news. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. in the us a white police officer has

been charged with the murder of mr brooks, an african—american man shot twice in the back in atlanta. let‘s get more on the coronavirus pandemic — and to china— where the virus originated. the capital beijing is now at the centre of another outbreak. more than 1200 flights have been cancelled and railway services have been reduced until at least the ninth ofjuly. primary school, middle school, and college classes are suspended, sports teams cannot play — and swimming pools and gyms are closed. the outbreak is believed to have started in the massive xinfandi food market that supplies 80 percent of the city‘s meat and vegetables. at least 27 neighbourhoods have been classed as medium risk and one neighbourhood, near the market, is high risk. people in medium or high—risk areas cannot leave the city. people in low—risk areas can leave, but need to test negative first. here‘s stephen mcdonnell in beijing. the difference this time when we

compare it to when the coronavirus of first took off is that businesses and government departments are remaining open at least for now, and thatis remaining open at least for now, and that is giving people some confidence that the authorities are going to be able to control this. what they are trying to do at that moment is to sort of tree to beijing as many cities within a city. and so they‘re kind of isolating pockets of they‘re kind of isolating pockets of the population, locking it down there and hoping they can control this outbreak without having to shut down this enormous city of 20 million people. next new zealand and germany — two success stories of the pandemic and now dealing with outbreaks. first — northwestern germany. where 7,000 people have been told to go into quarantine after an outbreak at a major meat processing plant near gutersloh. more than 400 workers at the plant have tested positive for the disease. the abattoir, schools and nurseries in the area have been closed.

next — berlin. more than 300 households are under quarantine after dozens tested positive for covid—19. the outbreak involves six apartment buildings. lets update you now on new zealand — which has recorded its first new cases in three weeks. in the past twenty—four hours the military has been put in charge of the country‘s quarantine and border operations. the cases relate to two women who flew in from the uk to visit a dying relative. they were given permission to leave quarantine, and travelled from auckland, to wellington. the prime minister, jacinda ardern, said the system failed. she spoke earlier. this case represents an unacceptable failure of the system. it should never have happened, and it cannot be repeated. i am the first to acknowledge that the decision we have made here to suspend compassionate leave will not be a popular one for many, i have to prioritise their health, safety, and well—being

of new zealanders. that is myjob, and so my view is until we can have complete confidence in the system, that is the best course of action on the behalf of new zealand. one more update for you. moving to pakistan, where people are facing virus restrictions again. this is an area of lahore. as you can see it‘s a densely populated area — and is one of several neighbourhoods the government has sealed off. the prime minister has ruled out a nationwide lockdown, however some hot spots are facing tight restrictions. pakistan has so far reported 154,000 cases of the virus. the majority came after the country lifted lockdown in may.

hello — i‘m gavin ramjaun — and this is the latest from the bbc sport centre. the english premier league is back after a 100 day absence and the latest of the two matches sees manchester city cruising to victory over arsenal at the etihad stadium. city 2—0 up in manchester. raheem sterling giving them the lead just before half time. and kevin de bruyne making it two from the penalty spot, following a red card for arsenal defender david luiz. a win for city here would prevent liverpool from clinching the title at everton on sunday. 20 mins or so go in that game. the first match of the premier league restart finished in a 0—0 draw between aston villa and sheffield united. but this match will be remembered for the powerful message sent out by the players at kick off. all 22 of them and the referee took a knee for ten seconds in solidarity with the black lives matter movement. well in the match, sheffield united were denied a goal in the first half in what was an error in the goal line decision technology. the draw keeps villa inside the bottom three.

it was very strange. something i probably will not get use to or enjoy. you need the fans, football needs the fans. but we understand why we are doing it at the moment. we have to finish the season, and as a set before the game, the premier league have given us a platform which is as safe as possible to go and play the games. i thought we made a good one today of that, i thought it was a good performance. not going to stand in front of you and say i unbelievably enjoyed it. i don't think both sides were great, i thought they had better chances. more clear cut chances and both sides are looking to get into a rhythm which obviously that affects. but i think, you know, players thrive on support. the winners of the coppa italia final between napoli and juventus will have to help themselves to the trophy and medals because of coronavirus hygiene this is the latest from the stadio olimpico.

with us for the better part of their wea k with us for the better part of their weak and very little wind ( that low pressure to move anything on very quickly. all is about to change. su btle quickly. all is about to change. subtle changes anyway on thursday looks like we will see an area more persistent rain, ten to 20 mm working its way westwards across england and wales and then later northwards. then to the south showers develop. in the north of that once the low develop and bring back to the low coasts there will be fewer showers elsewhere but more sunshine here and or northern ireland. not totally drive. certainly not so following the rain in some areas where the showers will become more widespread. areas of convergence with the winds converge together causing some slow—moving torrential downpour is, as much as 40 to 50 mm falling in the space of a couple of hours. large hail, frequent lightning and squally wins. gaining more of this torrential downpours and mystic cloud through the east coast. freshening a bit

towards the west. start of a change later in the day. that change is being brought by quite a dominant area of low pressure. it will finally bring some mobility, some movement to our weather. as it moves and looks like all of us will get a dose of rain for the gardens. tightly packed isoba rs dose of rain for the gardens. tightly packed isobars indicating with your weather as well and because they come in from the atla ntic we because they come in from the atlantic we will lose the humidity. fewer showers and thunderstorms that we are used to but the clouds gathering and merger northern ireland and the rest of the mainland uk. high teens the low 20s and as of been seeing them through this week. it looks as if we will all get some usable rain through the night. saturday into sunday on that brisk wind moving it through and clearing it away from most areas. that it‘s a bright day again but with that brisk wind that showers will come through thick and fast in the northwest closer to the area of low pressure.

still feeling warm of course and we re still feeling warm of course and were heading toward the longest stea k were heading toward the longest steak with the funds are highest in the sky and its strong sunshine. as a move into monday at similar story this brisk southwest it wins more rain coming through, subtle changes i think because of the come southwards that right is not likely to give as much insulin and eastern areas it is because the weather fronts are beginning and coming into a ridge of high pressure. as we go into next week with that the strongerjet into next week with that the stronger jet stream setting into next week with that the strongerjet stream setting up and that‘s why we will feel low pressure is moving in. as the week goes on at jet stream dressed a little bit further northwards and we can somewhat further south which allows high to build in here. we will find the warmth building as well so we could see temperatures up into the mid to high 20s from tuesday on words with that high pressure towards the south. looks as if we will have a northwest southeast split as we go into next week. just for that line will be with the wind year whether continuing and dryer
