good morning, welcome to bbc news. i'm victoria derbyshire, here are the headlines. a minute's silence will be held in reading this morning, for the teacherjames furlong, one of three people killed in a fatal stabbing this weekend. in the last few minutes a second victim has been named by cbs news in america as joe ritchie—bennett from philadelphia. the police investigation continues in the park here behind me and that minutes‘s silence will be held here in reading in one hour. 25—year—old khairi saadullah, originally from libya, is still being questioned by police

— it's understood he came to the attention of mi5 last year. the prime minister will meet with his leading scientific advisers today, ahead of tomorrow unveling of plans to further ease lockdown restrictions in england — including an expected move away from the two—metre rule to one metre. a big spike in the coronavirus reproduction number in germany following two localised outbreaks. and coming up in the next hour we will be live in norway where they wa nt will be live in norway where they want from two metres to one metre at the end of april. has there been an uptick in cases there? how do you feel about that possible change here in england? let me know. victoria@bbc.co.uk. and 72 years ago today caribbean migrants arrived on the empire windrush here in the uk. they were among the first of the windrush generation to help rebuild post—war britain. at quarter past nine we'll bring you a very personal take from our reporter shamaan

freeman—powell. a minute's silence will be held in reading this morning to remember the three people killed in a stabbing in a park on saturday, which police are treating as a terror incident. the first victim has been named as 36—year—old history teacherjames furlong. in the last few minutes, cbs news in america has confirmed the second victim was joe ritchie—bennett from philadelphia — who had lived in the uk for the last 15 years. one person remains in hospital, but their injuries are not thought to be life—threatening. police continue to question the suspect in saturday's attack, 25—year—old khairi saadallah, who's been arrested under the terrorism act.

lets ta ke lets take a look at the incident in detail. the incident happened in forbury gardens in reading town centre — at around 7 o'clock in the evening. the suspect was arrested nearby shortly afterwards. armed police later carried out raids in a block of flats in another part of the city. john mcmanus reports from reading. 36—year—old james furlong, one of the three people who died in saturday evenings horrifying terror attack in the centre of reading, and the only one named so far. his parents, gary and janet, described him as a wonderful man who would live in their hearts forever. james was a teacher at the holt school in wokingham, where he was head of history. on sunday, the school released a statement, calling him... former students have also paid tribute, including molly collins. he was, like, one of the best teachers they've had,

so passionate, enthusiastic, positive all the time. made the extra mile for everyone. always wanted people to be happy and included. and i don't think he knew how much of an impact he had on everyone's life. it's so, so sad. james furlong had been enjoying a summer evening here at forbury gardens when the stabbing attack began. police are continuing to question 25—year—old khairi saadallah, a libyan man who lived locally. detained at the scene, he was rearrested under section 41 of the terrorism act 2000. mr saadallah was known to mi5, but they decided he was not a genuine risk or immediate threat. i think that at a time like this, community —like reading will come together and support each other. it's a wonderful multicultural, diverse and supportive cohesive community and i think that people will find strength in each other but also of course in their faith

communities, and the faith communities, and the faith communities will be gathering together and gathering around people. reading has been left shocked by the weekend's events. my heart goes out to everybody affected by it. it's tragic, absolutely, and it's something we won't forget for a long time here now. people will be a bit tense and i think more watchful about the surroundings, i guess. gray really shocked. a bit scared just because it's very weird to see where you live on the news. this morning at 10am the town will pause to remember those who didn't make it through the weekend. john mcmanus, bbc news. 0ur correspondent andy moore is in reading. it will be a really difficult, challenging morning for the people of reading. yes, that's right. that minute's silence happening in about an hour's time. meanwhile the police investigation carrying on in the park behind me. that is forbury

gardens behind that wall. the very large police cordoned still in place in reading. the whole of the city centre taped off. the railway station is just over here. it would normally be quiet in this time of lockdown, or a lockdown easing. but especially today, the city centre is very quiet indeed. the only presence on the streets, most of the people are infact on the streets, most of the people are in fact police officers. in the last half hour or so we've had a second victim named. not officially by the authorities but by his family in the states. he has been named by cbs as joe ritchie—bennett in the states. he has been named by cbs asjoe ritchie—bennett and cvs news has spoken to his family, we understand. we also believe he was a friend of james furlong, understand. we also believe he was a friend ofjames furlong, the teacher, the 36—year—old history teacher, the 36—year—old history teacher who has been officially named and his family have been paying tribute to mr furlong. they said he was the best son, brother,

uncle and partner you could wish for. we are thankful for the memories he gave us all. we will never forget memories he gave us all. we will neverforget him memories he gave us all. we will never forget him and memories he gave us all. we will neverforget him and he memories he gave us all. we will never forget him and he will live in oui’ never forget him and he will live in our hearts for ever. they said he was beautiful, intelligent, honest and fun. his pupils have been paying tribute to him, saying how enthusiastic he was, how engaged he was with all the pupils. meanwhile the investigation into the suspect continues. khairi saadallah, 25 yea rs continues. khairi saadallah, 25 years old, originally from libya, still in custody. he is being held under the terrorism act so he can be held for up to 14 days for he actually appears in court. thank you. i can now speak to nick thomas—symonds who's the shadow home secretary. good morning to you. we are told that khairi saadallah it was known to mi5, had come to their attention previously. what is the significance of that as far as you are concerned? good morning, victoria. 0bviously first of all to pay tribute to those who died in this awful incident. all

people had done was come for a beautiful summer evening in a park. thanks our remarkable services, and of course the members of the public, and which well to those who were injured. as regards the particular details, i think we need to be coarse about drawing conclusions today, specifically on our security services. we will have to look very carefully obviously at the particular case, but they do do a fantastic job particular case, but they do do a fantasticjob in terms of foiling plots, and the number of lives they have saved in recent years and years before has been remarkable. we should not forget that. what we need to do should not forget that. what we need todoi should not forget that. what we need to do i think today is give the police the space to carry out this investigation, in relation to the suspect and more broadly, then look ina suspect and more broadly, then look in a measured way and the lessons that need to be learnt going forward. wright. it is reported today that the suspect had served

prison sentences for relatively minor offences, not related to terrorism. and the sun reports he had only leftjail i6 terrorism. and the sun reports he had only leftjail 16 days earlier, head of the attack. might there be an issue with looking at prisons in the future? i am careful obviously in encroaching on the individual case, but i think we can say that, look, last november the threat level was reduced from severe to substantial, and since then we have had the incident at the hall at the end of november, the incident at the stratum, and then this incident. 0ver stratum, and then this incident. over the last six months on a cross— party over the last six months on a cross—party basis, we have passed a piece of emergency legislation in february to end automatic early release. there is another bill currently going through parliament about the sentencing of terrorists, which again is proceeding on a cross— party which again is proceeding on a cross—party basis. so we are looking at that. but i think there is a

broader question here, as well, around looking at de—radicalisation in our prisons and how effective it is, looking at the risk assessment when people are released, and then looking at monitoring and supervision, whether all this is properly resourced. i think those kinds of questions will be absolutely vital going forward. as of today it is important to give the police space to do their work. absolutely. khairi saadallah came from libya to the uk. is there a specific problem with libya or people from there. it would be a real mistake today to start drawing conclusions about immigration status oi’ conclusions about immigration status or anything like that when we simply don't know the chronology. we obviously have a suspect in custody. all these questions as to the particular history of this a suspect can of course be considered in due course. it is the duty of government, the first duty, to keep people safe. as a shadow home secretary i'm very conscious walking

on issues of this of national security come across party lines but i will speak to the government. i spoke to the home secretary yesterday and going forward we will look to see how lessons can be learned and how we can proceed hopefully on a cross—party basis. thank you very much for your time this morning. nick thomas said the prime minister will meet senior cabinet members and his leading scientific advisers today, ahead of an announcement tomorrow about a further easing of the lockdown restrictions in england. it's expected he will confirm that the distance people are required to keep from one another will be halved to one metre from early next month, to coincide with more businesses being allowed to re—open. 0ur assistant political editor norman smith is at westminster. further easing of lockdown in england, we expect within 2a hours. we should get a statement, i think, in the commons tomorrow which will confirm what we have been hearing from ministers for days now, that the two metre rule will go. but

there will be what they call mitigations. in other words we will be expected to change our behaviour when we are out and about. we are getting a sense of the sort of changes that we might see in bars and restaurants, so they may be restrictions on the numbers who are allowed to go into bars and restau ra nts. allowed to go into bars and restaurants. there may be restrictions on the amount of time you can spend in a restaurant. face masks, they may not be compulsory but i think they will be an obligation. they will be much more prevalent. we will have to get more organised, probably have to make reservations in advance if we want to go out to restaurants. you will not simply be able to turn up and queue and wait for a table. restau ra nts queue and wait for a table. restaurants will have to rethink how they operate, so obviously there will be much sparser, more antiseptic environments, literally. ta bles antiseptic environments, literally. tables spread out, much more use of disposable items, disposable menus, disposable items, disposable menus, disposable tablecloths. it will be a very, very changed experience, but

we will at long last, it seems, be able to go out again into pubs and cafe is an restaurants, hairdressers, hotels. it will be the start of what probably will be the biggest easing of the lockdown so far. with pubs, some websites and newspapers are reporting that when you get there you will have to give your name, e—mail address, you get there you will have to give your name, e—mailaddress, phone number, in case there is an infection in that particular establishment, so they can contact you. that in part i think is because we don't have the app, which would have enabled us to get around that to some extent. we are having to go for a much more basic test and trace, which is literally handing your name and contact details in at restau ra nts, your name and contact details in at restaurants, pubs, so if there is an outbreak you can be traced. that is going to be, i suppose, part of the way we have to operate socially now. it will be much more structured, much less spontaneity. it will have to be much more controlled and it

will be a lot less crowded, a lot less boisterous come a lot quieter. it will be a very different experience. but that said, for many i think it will be a huge relief and obviously for the hospitality and catering industry, absolutely crucial because we have heard from them for weeks now that many bars and cafe is and restaurants are really going to struggle to survive u nless to really going to struggle to survive unless to meet it real is reduced and they can reopen again.|j unless to meet it real is reduced and they can reopen again. i wonder if there could be a worry that when this announcement comes, people will think, well, lockdown is over now, it's done. i think that is the big worry. if you go down to one metre, one metre is almost normal. it isn't such a big gap. basically, people ta ke such a big gap. basically, people take the conclusion that, 0k, we can all relax now. when in fact we know... infections, the 0ns say there are still around 3000 infections a day, which is quite a lot. it is coming down, but it is

still pretty high. and the real fear is once people start to socialise again, of course that gives greater scope for the virus to return and you start to see increases may be at a local level in the infection rate. it isa a local level in the infection rate. it is a balance of risk which is why so it is a balance of risk which is why so much is relying on this test and trace so much is relying on this test and tra ce syste m so much is relying on this test and trace system working effectively. cheers, norman. thank you. how are you feeling about social distancing will in england potentially going to be just will in england potentially going to bejust a will in england potentially going to be just a worry to? rick says, the guidelines are largely being ignored out and about now. i don't think it will make much difference. i have certainly been to places recently where you would never know you were meant to say two metres apart. helen says, has anyone from the government actually set foot inside a supermarket recently? not a sanitised one prepared for a visit, but a real one? no social distancing from most now. god help us if it is officially reduced. friday night girl says, i'm very nervous, happy to stay at home for now. and claire

says, open everything! people have a choice then whether to use them or not. abbott says, i'm not confident at all. if we had a proper track and trace at all. if we had a proper track and tra ce syste m at all. if we had a proper track and trace system i would feel happier but i am probably not going to be rushing to the pub yet. schooling is far more important than pubs and primark in my humble opinion. how do you feel about going from two metres to one metre? you can contact me on twitter or e—mail. face coverings are now compulsory on public transport as scotland continues to ease its way out of lockdown. the ruling covers all buses and trains, planes and ferries and taxis and private hire vehicles. children under five and people with certain medical conditions are exempt. nicola sturgeon said face coverings "can help to reduce the risk of transmission" but stressed that physical distancing, hand washing and "good hygiene" were still necessary to prevent infection. the scottish government is still urging people to continue to limit travel. all non—essential shops are allowed to re—open across wales today, in the latest easing of lockdown

measures in the country. however, the five—mile limit on non—essential journeys remains in place, with a review expected to take place by the 6th ofjuly. 0ur correspondent tomos morgan has more. for almost three months, high streets across wales and across the uk have been derelict of shoppers. but today marks the seeds of change here in wales as the first minister mark drakeford gave the green light for all non—essential shops to reopen. if they do try something on and they don't purchase it, we take the item out to the store room and we steam it professionally with a professional steamer, and we wait 2a hours until we can bring it back out. jaymin patel has been preparing for this day for a while, making sure safety is the top priority for customers and staff. he's adapted and done well online, selling his clothes during lockdown, hand—delivering stock to customers.

but nothing can replace the business that is brought by footfall. we wanted to make customers feel safe but still let them have that experience of being able to go shopping again and, you know, a shopping experienc is something — especially for a small independent like ourselves — is quite personal. we've decided we'll let one or two people in at any one time. so in preparations for the shops to reopen today, the council has put actually a trial in on this street in cardiff. as you can see behind me, bollards in place to increase the pavement area so that shoppers can go between each shop at a safe and social distance. usually open every day of the week, troy's meze bar has curtailed its days, hours, and turned from a restaurant to a takeaway. it has been hard but at least we've got a couple of quid coming in to carry on, and we're happy to just to work and to basically provide food for people. but today's changes won't have much impact for the hospitality sector. 0ne metre will be great for us. i mean, two metres will be very difficult for us to open the restaurant.

i would rather carry on doing takeaway, to have a two metre. the welsh government hinted shops may reopen three weeks ago here. but some say that still wasn't enough time to get ready to reopen. i haven't had enough notice to take my staff off furlough. we've been told to prepare for this but we weren't given enough time to know in advance when to take them off. as high streets start trading again across wales, the stay—local rule remains in place, meaning people should only travel within five miles of their home. it'll be around another two weeks before people here can travel to see family, friends and nature further afield again. tomos morgan, bbc news, cardiff. good morning, it is coming up to 9:20am. the author of a report into the windrush scandal is warning there is a "grave risk" of similar failures happening again if the government does not

implement its recommendations. wendy williams has told the bbc the home office still needed to "make good on its commitment to learn the lessons" after thousands discovered they were regarded as illegal immigrants. today marks 72 years since the empire windrush arrived at tilbury docks, carrying hundreds of people from jamaica who were invited to help rebuild britain after the second world war. but to make this journey, many families were split up, with children separated from their parents and siblings, and only sent for years later, if at all. this is the story of bbc reporter shamaan freeman—powell. i didn't know my dad was going to england. you know, that's not something i would discuss. all i could recall was him going to get this bus and said he'd see me soon. so in my own mind, soon means he'd be coming back later when the bus come back. this is my uncle carl. he was five when his dad,

leslie white, set off for england, leaving him, his brother and his mum behind. and for quite a while, i kept going back when i knew the bus were coming. kept going back, you know what i mean? until you suddenly dawned — he ain't coming, really. but the bigger shock would come three years later when, in 1961, my nana violetjoined her husband and, like thousands of others in her generation, had to make the ultimate sacrifice — leaving carl and her eldest son in jamaica, separating them among family. seven years later, she sent money for a plane ticket for both of her boys. but by this point, they'd got used to living without their parents. and only carl came — begrudgingly. i missed two flights, actually. i didn't want to go because i didn't want to leave my gran cos i'd got close to my gran. by the time he got here, though, things had changed in the family and he had a little brother and sister, both born in the uk.

i have vague recollections. all i could think about was the fact that he was so dark. and i thought he had huge ears! the first thing i recall getting off the plane was how cold it was. and i had this little jacket on and some little nylon shirt, which was ideal forjamaica. just 18 months later, carl and jackie's dad passed away and eventually their mum remarried, meaning there would now be ten children in the household. the household when i was growing up was utter chaos — absolute chaos. but violet still had one child left behind in jamaica, who would never live here permanently, and jackie wouldn't meet him until she was in her 20s. i feel that he does have a sense of — a small sense of resentment that he wasn't here with the rest of us. but again, historically, that is something that cannot be changed. but that still doesn't totally erase a little bit of feeling that... we somehow in the uk were much better off than him.

it wasn't until after, when you start having your own kids, you realise what sacrifices they made to make sure i was here. you know, the windrush generation for me, i would say to them, thank you. because without them, we wouldn't be surviving, we wouldn't be who we are. and particularly those that fought in the wars or who have contributed so much to the fabric of this country — building it — and yet still continue to experience that discrimination. yeah. to experience barefaced racism and exclusion. when they didn't just get up and say, "we're gonna come here." they were invited. this is just one example of the many sacrifices made by the windrush generation today. the government has announced that it

will set up a cross—party working group to address the challenges faced by the windrush generation and their families. shamoun freeman powell, bbc news. i'm joined now by genealogist adrian stone, whose family were among the windrush generation and came over to the uk from jamaica in the 1950s. good morning to you, hello. good morning. what does this anniversary mean to you? this anniversary, it really represents legacy. the generation that my parents and grandparents were part of, 55 and 56, it was about knowing their story for myself, going back ten years, when i started myjourney, i didn't know much about their history and that venture sounded an incredible story. what did you discover? with

my grandfather, he came in 1955 and when you are looking for historical documents amongst your family, i found a reference letter that mentioned the subject and he's come to england and it was showing that he is aware that british subject, a skilled person will stop at trail then led back to his parents and great great grandparents. we didn't realise these documents were discovered, and i didn't, certainly, and this journey started when my mother fell ill. it made and this journey started when my motherfell ill. it made me think what was her story and legacy? trying to trace back as far back as ican, to trying to trace back as far back as i can, to know more about my own history. yeah. the author of the report into the windrush scandal has told the bbc that there is a grave risk of similarfailures told the bbc that there is a grave risk of similar failures happening again if the government doesn't implement her 30 recommendations. would you call on the government to implement them now?|j

would you call on the government to implement them now? i think it is really sad because all of these traumas have been happening for so many years. for every person who goes through a situation like that, it feels like i've been through it. the way we are bonded as black people, there is an experience. becoming a windrush child, slavery, there are different injustices. we stand united in those struggles. the government launching this across government launching this across government working group, which will attempt to address the ongoing challenges of the windrush generation. quote, that is years after theresa may vowed to right the wrongs. what is your response to this across government working group launched today? it is important that we recognise the windrush generation as british subjects. many, like my pa rents,

as british subjects. many, like my parents, they travelled on other people's birth certificates and passports and things like that. the standard was that these records were lost and many of them survived —— the scandal was that these records we re the scandal was that these records were lost. it is important we are recognised as british subjects. thank you very much, adrian. thank you for talking to us. thank you. thank you. adrian stone, a bristol born genealogist and one of the leading experts on helping british people trace their caribbean ancestry. after three months in one of your‘s toughest lockdown is, spain's a state of emergency has lifted with visitors across the uk and much of europe being welcomed into the country without having to quarantine. 0ur correspondent explained what this means for travellers visiting in the near future study of the lifting of the state of emergency effectively means the end of the three—month lockdown, so the end of the three—month lockdown, so spaniards can travel around the country freely now but also

crucially for the tourism industry it means that most people from the european union, from the schengen area and the uk can enter the country without having to go through the two—week quarantine which had beenin the two—week quarantine which had been in place. essentially spain has opened its doors just in time for the high season, the high tourism season. the first three months of the tourism season have been basically wiped out so this is a very welcome move, i think, for the tourism industry which is extremely important for the spanish economy overall. 0f important for the spanish economy overall. of the spanish foreign minister had said a few days ago that she was very keen this should bea that she was very keen this should be a reciprocal arrangement and she was in talks with the british government to try to make sure that quarantine controls were lifted on both sides. when she announced that spain was lifting its own quarantine controls to the uk she did say she hadn't reached an agreement with the british, that it was a unilateral measure, but that she still hoped

that the british would lift their own controls. as far as we know, the uk doesn't have any plans to change its own controls for spaniards. it was going to review them anyway on june spaniards. it was going to review them anyway onjune 29. that hasn't changed. i should them anyway onjune 29. that hasn't changed. ishould point them anyway onjune 29. that hasn't changed. i should point out the number of british people arriving over the coming days is likely to be quite low because people simply hadn't had time to book holidays and change plans since the quarantine issue has been changed. thanks for your messages. people in england who are potentially facing going from two metres to one metre when the government announces more easing of the lockdown measures tomorrow. 0ne says, we have just the lockdown measures tomorrow. 0ne says, we havejust got the lockdown measures tomorrow. 0ne says, we have just got used to me to distancing. businesses and councils have also implemented of these changes. keep this in place because as you reduce this, social distancing will go out of the window. 0ne distancing will go out of the window. one in northamptonshire says, each time the lockdown rules

are relaxed, it is making it more difficult, higher risk, and causing more anxiety for those shielding. we still don't know how and when we can relax the shielding. i have got quite a few messages from people who are shielding or know someone who is. joanne says, when on earth will ibe is. joanne says, when on earth will i be able to open my hairdressing salon? surely it is safer to have your hair cut salon? surely it is safer to have your haircutand salon? surely it is safer to have your hair cut and go into a pub. it is so frustrating. we are expecting that the government will say tomorrow that hair salons can open from the 11th ofjuly. that is in england. and this from a net. if you are alone grandparents you can now join the family bubble and see and hug your grandchildren, but if you are to grandparents you still can't see them and give them a hug. we can out stand close to complete strangers but cannot hug our grandchildren. ijust grandchildren. i just don't understand! nessa says, i don't see how pubs can open with social distancing at all. maybe if they have outdoor space, but inside it will not work. 0nce have outdoor space, but inside it will not work. once people get a few drinks inside them they will be no social distancing. thank you for those. i'm on twitter or you can

e—mail victoria at am, time for the weather. it will hot up this week. carol kirkwood has the weather hello again. if you like your weather hot, well, you're in luck this week because for many of us, that is the forecast. temperatures are rising, but so is humidity, both by day and night. now what we have today is a lot of cloud coming in from the northwest, and this rain. gusty winds across the north and west. the further south and east that you are, the drier and sunnier it will be, with highs up to 23 degrees. through this evening and overnight, we still have that rain, but it's pushing a bit further north. the wind will start to ease. clear skies in central, southern and eastern areas, and it's going to be another mild night with most of us staying in double figures. tomorrow, then, we still do have this weather front which is producing all this cloud and rain, and it will still be waving a little bit further north and then a little bit further south. so as we push down towards the south itself, this is where we'll have the driest conditions with some

sunshine, with highs getting up to about 27 or 28. hello, this is bbc news with me, victoria derbyshire. it's just after half past nine. the headlines...

as reading prepares to pay tribute to the three people stabbed to death on saturday, a second victim has been named by cbs news in america as joe ritchie—bennett from philadelphia. 25 year old khairi saadullah, originally from libya, is still being questioned by police — it's understood he came to the attention of m15 last year the prime minister will meet with his leading scientific advisers today, ahead of tomorrow unveling of plans to further ease lockdown restrictions in england — including an expected move from the two metre rule to one metre a big spike in the coronavirus reproduction number in germany — following two localised outbreaks. sport, and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's sally nugent. good morning, victoria and good morning, everyone. liverpool's wait to clinch their first premier league title will go on a little longer. they had, theoretically, a chance of winning it tonight had they beaten everton

in the merseyside derby. but — the game finished goalless meaning jurgen klopp's side will have to wait till wednesday at the earliest to be confirmed as champions. adam wild reports. commentator: so liverpool are dragging it out... for the champions in waiting, the waiting goes on. what once felt like a march towards the premier league title now seems more of a crawl. a draw at everton and they're a point closer. it's a derby and we felt the derby even when no crowd was here, that's how it is. both teams showed that they really know what we're going for, so that's ok, but again, football should be a little bit more joy than both teams maybe showed. forjurgen klopp's side, the joy will almost certainly arrive eventually. but this shortest of trips to their nearest neighbours everton felt worlds away from any merseyside derby that's gone before. face masks, distancing, biosecurity checks, this is what now greets the football's elite. liverpool may be european and club world champions but a temporary changing room in the car park

will have to suffice. and of course, empty stands. without the passion of the fans, this normally huge fixture never really got going. commentator: can't hit the target! in truth, it was everton that went the closest to winning it. had it not been for excellent goalkeeping and a little liverpool luck, they would have. a draw then that sends liverpool fans back to their calculators. much depends on what happens tonight. should manchester city fail to beat burnley, then liverpool can win the title by beating crystal palace on wednesday. if not, liverpool's wait will go on just a little longer. adam wild, bbc news. chelsea boss frank lampard has warned his team to be more clinical as they gave their hopes of a top four finish a boost. despite dominating possession — they needed two goals in two minutes to come from behind and beat second—bottom aston villa 2—1.

chelsea now five points clear of fifth place man united while villa are a point from safety. newcastle are now 11 points clear of the bottom three — but manager steve bruce doesn't think his team are safe yet. a0 million pound strikerjoe linton ending his six month wait for a league goal as they beat sheffield united 3—0. a noose — left in the team garage of an african—american racing driver — has been labelled as a "dispicable act of racism". it was found in bubba wallace's garage stall. he's the only full time black driver in nascar in the us. wallace had successfully campaigned to get the confederate flag — seen by many as a symbol of slavery and racism — banned from races. the sport is investigating while wallace said he was "incredibly saddened" but insisted he "will not give in" nor back down. well, lewis hamilton says he's "extremely positive" that change

will come in the battle against racial inequality. the six—time formula one world champion released these pictures of himself taking part in a black lives matter protest yesterday, in london, and has been hugely vocal on the issue in recent weeks. he added on social media that he was "so proud to see in person so many people of all races and backgrounds supporting this movement." a second tennis player has tested positive for coronavirus — after playing in a tournament organised by world number one novak djokovic — who is awaitng his results. borna coric is the latest to test positive — hours after grigor dimitrov found out he also had the virus. dimitrov posted this from hospital saying he was "so sorry for any harm he might have caused." djokovic's coach and event director, goran ivanisevic, announced the cancellation. it was set up to help players get fit after several weeks without competition.

thousands of fans attended. they've been critisised due to the lack of social distancing — which isn't a requirement in croatia. nor indeed is it required in serbia, we re nor indeed is it required in serbia, were pa rt of nor indeed is it required in serbia, were part of the tournament was held. you can see crowds there. we will wait to see if any more positive results come back from the result of that tournament. that's all your sport for now — we'll have more from the bbc sport centre later in the day. victoria, back to you. sally, thank you. let's return to our top story. 0ne minute's silence will be held later for the three victims of the reading stabbing attack. teacher james furlong, described as a "kind and gentle" man, was the first victim to be named publicly. and in the past hour, cbs news in america has confirmed the second victim was joe ritchie—bennett from philadelphia who had lived

in the uk for the last 15 years. one person remains in hospital, but their injuries are not thought to be life—threatening. police continue to question the suspect in saturday's attack, 25—year—old khairi saadallah, who's been arrested under the terrorism act. with me now is jason brock — the labour leader of reading council. hello and good morning to you. thank you for having me on. a very difficult morning for the people of reading? tremendously difficult and of course our thoughts remain with the victims of this attack and indeed those who witnessed the murders. such a shocking thing to happen anywhere and especially in a town like reading. we are all grieving and it's entirely appropriate today that we will mark with a minute's silence, in remembrance, those who lost their lives. are there any plans at this stage for some kind of memorial?-

present, the gardens and the area surrounding it is still under police cordoned but after they've concluded their investigation and have released that gordon, i'm sure we will begin a process of dialogue with communities around the town to understand what they think would be most appropriate to memorialise those who lost their lives. most appropriate to memorialise those who lost their liveslj most appropriate to memorialise those who lost their lives. i wonder what you would say to the residents of reading who might be very nervous this morning about going about their daily lives? i think it would be entirely understandable, everyone is shocked and appalled, of course, but we are also afraid and uncertain and angry and! we are also afraid and uncertain and angry and i certainly feel all of those things and it's very difficult and the gardens is a very important place to us in reading, we use it to socialise and relax in the centre of

town and is entirely understandable that people will feel uncertain as they go about their day. but we mustn't allow an act of terror to divide us because that is exactly what it intends to do. we have to move forward together as a community. steadfast in our commitment to unity. and although there will be very difficult times in the days, weeks and even months to come, it's important that we pull together as a community, dialogue with one another to understand what needs to be done, reassure one another as we move forward from these murders. thank you very much for talking to us. thank you. experts have said social distancing is here to stay, as the risk from coronavirus continues but countries around the world have taken different views on how far apart we really need to be. the world health organization says one metre is enough, and countries including france, hong kong and singapore have adopted this advice but in the uk, we're still advised to stay two metres apart.

we are expecting an announcement from the prime minister on that, certainly within england, in the next 2a hours. as lockdown continues to be lifted, schools, shops, restaurants and bars all say it will have a huge impact on their ability to open up. let's talk about the science behind the guidance — i'm joined now by dr chris smith, consultant virologist at university of cambridge and also by frode forland, who is director of infectious diseases and global health at the norwegian institute of public health — norway initially had a two metre social guidance rule, but halved this on 30th april. welcome both of you. what changed at the end of april to allow norway to go from two metres down to one metre? norway tried to reopen as a society, gradually, after the lockdown that we started on the 12th of march. and we studied the literature and we've looked around

to see what are the evidence for the two metres compared to one metre and we have seen there are different studies and this is not a question of having a zero risk of spread but may be we can reduce it by 80, 90%, the spread of droplets by having one metre so it became extremely difficult to reopen society like schools, restaurants by keeping the two metre distance. what came first? the pressure to reopen society or the science? actually first came the control that actually came over the spread in society. after the 1st of april we saw there was a very gradual decrease in numbers and of course, then all this rather strict measures were imposed for three or four weeks and now we could start lifting that gradually buy also an intense testing regime and quarantining people with symptoms

and following up each and every case where there was an outbreak. understood. since the one metre rule came in in norway almost two months ago has there been an uptick in covid 19 cases because that's what a number of people are very nervous about in this country. no, we cannot say so. we have seen the gradual reduction of numbers, steadily going down until now, we have only had a handful of new cases every day in norway and we haven't seen any symptoms of that except we've seen minor outbreaks in places like families and also workplaces, we go in at once now bite testing and tracing contacts and loss of sound doctor chris smith, the uk is a very different population to norway, we don't have this track and tracing system don't have this track and tracing syste m u p don't have this track and tracing system up to speed yet plus we've still got 3000 infections a day so what do you think about the

potential from going what do you think about the potentialfrom going for what do you think about the potential from going for two what do you think about the potentialfrom going for two metres down to one metre in england which may well be announced tomorrow by the prime minister in england? may well be announced tomorrow by the prime minister in england7|j the prime minister in england?” don't think this is a bad idea, i think there's a number of things going for this, this is a numbers game. the risk that you engender at two metres of catching coronavirus we think is in the region of one and a half percent. and if you move that number from two metres down to one metre, it grows from one and a half percent up to 3%, more than 97% of people who are one metre away from somebody else and catch coronavirus. this is data which has been presented in the lancet medical journal, of course we don't know all the numbers, this isjust one study but at the same time, this is the best data we have and under one metre, the risk jumps best data we have and under one metre, the riskjumps appreciably, if you are right up close to somebody you might have a 13—15% chance of catching the virus, in other words, ten times higher so

therefore one metre seems like a reasonable compromise between safety but also what is practical and most people agree that what we want at the moment is something practical. the levels of the virus circulating in society are really very low now, less than 0.06%, in other words if i pick someone from london and the population, assuming the whole country is the same but let's assume everyone is the same, if i pick two people to stand next to in a queue, there is a 0.06% i'm standing next to someone with coronavirus and the risk engendered at one metre with that very low prevalence in society, even lower in norway, admittedly, it is, i think, a even lower in norway, admittedly, it is, ithink, a reasonable risk. even lower in norway, admittedly, it is, i think, a reasonable risk. the who advice is one metre. uk, spain, canada or two metres but other countries who use one metre, china, france, singapore, hong kong, lithuania. should that give us

confidence? well, i think my colleague made a very valid point, they've seen outbreaks in certain situations and their approach is to pounce on those outbreaks, use testing, use tracing, use public health measures which we know are very effective. look at the trajectory of the back of this lockdown, the amount of virus circulating has plummeted, it's been very effective so what we now need to do is move into a situation where we aggressively monitor and screen and when we see evidence for outbreaks happening, then we go in with heavy measures to control it at source with heavy measures to control it at source but we let everyone else try and keep their business as normal to the greatest extent possible and that seems, to me, to be a safe way to do this and at the moment it's summertime, people doing their own natural social distancing anyway because they are out and about and most of the transmissions we have seen are most of the transmissions we have seen are from droplets drifting on the air which transmit most effectively endorse stop when winter comes it may be different but at the

moment, let's get the experience of this while we can and do it safely, work out what works and in we will be much better equipped for what happens when autumn and winter comes. where is norway on the use of masks? that's been a very controversial question in norway, we've done a proper evidence summary of that, looking into the effect of masks related to the spread in society and when the spread in society, the prevalence of infection was low like now, we calculated we need, numbers needed to mask is 200,000 for one week to prevent one case, that could be an effective measure if there is a very high prevalence in society, like it is now, we don't consider it a relevant strategy. sorry, give us those figures again, 200,000 people would need to wear a mask for one week to prevent one case? that's what i said. that is based on the assumption that mask will reduce

numbers by a0%, the effectiveness of the mask and there is a 20% chance of spread while you are in the face, —— presymptomatic phase, if you are showing symptoms you should stay at home, these are some of the assumptions underlying that number. chris, i thought you wanted to come in and am interested in what we've just been told and i'm looking at what the deputy chief medical officer said on april the 3rd, there is no evidence the general wearing a face mask by the public affects the spread of the disease. yes, the absence of evidence is not the same of evidence of absence and people have aggressively pursued this question since coronavirus dominated our lives and the evidence has slowly grown that there are some situations in which mask wearing can add a small difference. where this is not clear is, what we do agree it

is not clear is, what we do agree it is clear is that social distancing is clear is that social distancing is the most effective intervention that you can't make and where you cannot observe social distancing, that's where the small difference at a mask can make actually becomes the dominant factor so that's why they've advised under certain circumstances, where you cannot social distance, that's where a man scoring may be appropriate. the point being made is that where masks are useful, if you've got a large numberof are useful, if you've got a large number of people who can be infected, which we have, and you've got a situation where you put a person who is infectious into that environment, they could, such as on public transport, affect a large numberof public transport, affect a large number of people so if you there. that spread, where people cannot socially distance, you can't make a big difference but when you end up with very, very few people in society wearing masks and that's because the amount of virus in society is really, really low obviously the benefit of mask wearing has dwindled. this is the

compromise, you've got high levels in circulation it's more useful than when you have low levels in circulation. understood, thank you both very much, really interesting. just want to read this e—mail from a publican. i am a publican, just want to read this e—mail from a publican. iam a publican, i'm worried sick for me, my customers, staff, people not sticking to the rules now we do not have adequate insurance to cover us, social distancing and alcohol do not mix. the time is not right, we are not ready for this, we have no proven track and in place. so again it's going to be on my head to take someone going to be on my head to take someone ‘s details what if they give you fake info or reviews? it should not be my responsibility, they are putting the lives and well—being of my customers in my hands. thank you for that. german health authorities have reported the reproduction number for coronavirus — that's the number of people that

on average one person infects — has risen sharply. this has been fuelled by localised outbreaks of covid—19 in a meat—packing plant and at an apartment block. police reinforcements have been drafted in, after residents who were placed in quarantine clashed with officers, using fireworks, bottles and metal bars while trying to get out of the building. simonjones reports. police called in to enforce quarantine at this tower block in gottingen. 700 people told their movements are being restricted because of an outbreak of coronavirus there. on thursday, two people tested positive for covid—19. by friday, that had risen by 120. translation: i am frightened, i'm afraid of staying here. i have work and can't go to work. everyone feels this way, they need to work. officers say they have faced a barrage of hostility. translation: the police, and i was able to see this with my own eyes on video, had bottles, stones,

metal bars, planks of wood, household objects and fireworks thrown at them. having accurate data on how many people are becoming infected is vital to keeping a lid on any outbreaks. the r number refers to the rate of infection for the virus. it's the number of people that, on average, every person with the disease will pass it on to. with coronavirus, without social distancing, that number is three. every person infecting three others means a rapidly expanding outbreak. the key is to get r below one and keep it there, then you have a shrinking epidemic, but in germany, it's now 2.8. officials, though, say this is largely due to specific localised outbreaks, such as at a big meat processing factory in the state of north rhine—westphalia. more than 1,300 positive tests have been linked to the plant, 7,000 employees and their families have been told to go into quarantine. translation: as a businessman and someone who puts people first, i can only offer my complete apologies because we are the cause of this issue and carry full

responsibility — me as a businessman and the company as a whole. health officials hope that by acting quickly and decisively, they can stop any spread to the wider community. simon jones, bbc news. one of the industries hardest hit by the coronavirus lockdown was tourism. flights were grounded, movement restricted and holidays cancelled. now — businesses are reopening — and tourist attractions are desperate for customers to return. in venice — they've put on something of a show to drum up attention — as the bbc‘s tim allman explains. if you didn't know any better, you'd say life here was pretty much back to normal. the canals and waterways full of traffic, gondolas and rowing boats bobbing along — this, the first such traditional race since the lockdown ended.

venice getting back to its roots. translation: we decided to call it race of the rebirth, because we wanted it to be an opportunity — the first time when venice, which is made of water, went back to its primary element, which are the boats and oars. but the scars of the last few months can't be ignored. italy has been one of the countries hit hardest by coronavirus, with more than 311,000 lives lost. applause. this was about paying tribute to the medical workers who fought on the frontline. applause. translation: the objective of the race was to show that the town's alive but we don't pity ourselves. having blisters on your hands is better than simply answering in an interview to thank doctors. now doctors should be thanked with some financial support.

you see how they all stand as they row? this is voga veneta — venetian rowing. an inspiration, perhaps? hopefully, venice itself will soon be back on its feet. tim allman, bbc news. we will bring you the forecast in a moment. potentially, going down from two metres to one metre, john says in current circumstances i wouldn't feel comfortable going into a social space where people could come as close as a metre. i am so glad that wales will make its own decisions on this. let's bring you the weather. here is carol. hello again. at the start of this week, some of us will see some rain — more notably across the north and the west of the country. but then what you'll find is, increasingly, temperatures are going to rise — as indeed is humidity — and notjust by day, but also by night.

so what we have today is this weather front. it's what we call a waving front. it's just gently moving north and south, east and west — almost in situ, but not quite. so it's bringing in a lot of cloud and some rain — rain across northern ireland, scotland, at times getting into northwest england and north wales. and you can see the cloud building just ahead of it. so the sunnier skies will be through the midlands, the far south of england and also the southeast and east anglia. and here we could see temperatures 23 or 2a — possibly locally even 25 degrees. through this evening and overnight, we still will have that rain. it pushes that bit further north. the winds that we're looking at today will start to ease down. quite a lot of cloud ahead of this weather front, as well, but clear skies as we push into central and eastern parts of england in particular. now, it's not going to be a cold night — most of us staying in double figures overnight. tomorrow, then, we start off with this rain from the same said front — still across scotland and northern ireland.

at times we'll see the odd spot of rain coming out of the cloud in northern england and potentially north wales, but that front is pushing a bit further north, so it will brighten up through the day. but largely dry, with clear skies for the south and highs 27 or 28. 20 in aberdeen. now, as we move from tuesday and into wednesday, we still do very much have this feature, but it is weakening all the time. so we'll start off with some rain, but then it will more or less become a band of cloud with the odd spot of rain in it. and on either side, there will be some sunshine. again, no breeze, really, to speak off. might catch the odd shower, say, in northern ireland — that's about it — and temperatures continuing to rise. 25 in newcastle, 30—31 in london, 16 in stornoway, and 20 in belfast. during the course of thursday, still one or two rogue showers left in the forecast. but for most of us, it's going to be dry, it's going to be sunny, and once again it's going to be very warm or hot with highs reaching 31 in the south.

welcome to viewers in the uk and around the world as we approach a two minute's silence for three people killed in a stabbing attack in the town of reading on saturday night. we spoke to the leader of the council just half an we spoke to the leader of the counciljust half an hour ago or so, who said that reading is a town with a wonderful, strong community. a community that has always celebrated its diversity. a community that has stood resolute in the face of many challenges. we must not allow an act of terror to divide us. people who will commemorate during the silence those who died include james furlong, the 36—year—old head

of history and government and politics at a local secondary school in wokingham, and cbs—cam
