tributes are paid to the victims of the reading terror attack. tributes have been paid in the english town of reading to three people stabbed to death there on saturday. two of the three dead are named — one was a popular local history teacher, the second, an american man who'd lived in the uk for 15 years. james was a very kind and gentle man. he had a real sense of duty and cared for each and every one of our students. he truly inspired everyone he taught. 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. we've got a lot of information to gather. we have to look at all aspects as to what happened on

saturday, the individual that's in custody as well, to ensure that, yes, justice is served but also we make sure that we learn the lessons from what has happened. we'll be live in reading — and talking to our security correspondent in a few minutes. also this lunchtime... down to one metre — the government is expected to announce tomorrow that the two metre social distancing rule in england will be cut in scotland and wales more easing of lockdown measures have come into force on the 72nd anniversary of the arrival of the ship empire windrush — the country prepares to pay tribute to the contribution of the windrush generation and their descendants. and coming up on bbc news... in sport, tennis‘s novak djokovic is set to be tested for coronavirus as two players contract the virus after playing at an event set up by the world number one.

good afternoon and welcome to the one o'clock news. two minutes‘ silence has been held in reading for the victims of the stabbings over the weekend. three people were killed in the attack on saturday evening. joe ritchie—bennett, originally from philadelphia, is the second victim to be named. he had lived in the uk for 15 years. his friend, james furlong — a history teacher — also died. pupils at the school in wokingham where he taught have gathered to pay tribute to ‘a very kind and gentle man‘ who ‘inspired everyone he taught‘. police are continuing to question a 25—year—old libyan man — khairi saadallah — who is being held under the terrorism act. on a visit to the scene of the attack, the home secretary priti patel, said it was a tragic event and the actions of a lone individual. andy moore is in reading for us now.

this medieval gateway has become the symbol really of the grave of the town, occasionally people come to hand in flowers, hand them to police and they are laid with other flowers you can see behind me. occasionally you can see behind me. occasionally you see a white suited forensic officers still carrying out investigations in forbury gardens behind me. civic and religious leaders have also been here to pay tribute, one of them said reading was a beautiful and peaceful town until the events of saturday evening. deep emotion and real shock at the school were james furlong taught in for a two—minute silence was held this morning. he was much loved and described as a man who inspired everyone he told. as a community we will need to absorb this sad news, counsellors are available for staff and students, words cannot describe our shock and sadness at this time. he wasn'tjust art teacher, he was an incredible person and he wasn't just a teacher,

he was a human being, he had family and friends that loved him just as much as we do. the home secretary came to the scene of the attack in forbury gardens to pay her respects. what we saw here on saturday evening in redding was the actions of one lone individual, we should bear that in mind. lee had that individual in custody, they are not looking for anybody else, we should all remain alert, we should all remain vigilant in terms of the fact that threats are all around us but we have to respond in the right kind of way and very mindful of the type of society that we live in. a second person who died in the attack has been named by his family in america asjoe ritchie—bennett, he'd been living in the uk for about 15 years. his family said they had lost a brilliant and loving son. civic and religious leaders from all parts of the multiethnic community came to lay flowers at the park. they said the attack was uniting the city in

its grief. we are one united redding, we are not going to let something like this come into our community, any form of terrorism, we will stamp that out, we stand here to support and our thoughts and prayers are with the families and victims at this time. we are here to stand by the families that have lost loved ones, no one deserves what happened. here on saturday. and we asa happened. here on saturday. and we as a community should stand together and say no to any form of hatred, any form of violence. police are continuing to question khairi saadallah, 25, originally from syria. he was briefly on the radar of the security services two years ago when it was thought he was planning to travel overseas. but he wasn't regarded as a serious threat. at holt school in wokingham students laid flowers to james furlong, there will be no classes today. the grief of leaving losing one of the most respected teachers will take a long time to heal. we've heard from woody

johnson, the us ambassador to the uk in response to the death of the american citizen, he said i offer my deepest condolences to the families of those killed, to our great sorrow this includes an american citizen. our thoughts are with all those affected, we condemn the attack absolutely and have offered our assistance to british law enforcement. the suspect still being held by police, they can't question him forup to held by police, they can't question him for up to two weeks. simon. thank you. —— they can question him. more now from our security correspondent frank gardner. and this illustrates the pressure the security services are under. security services have a database of thousands of persons of interest, people known to have links with suspected terrorist organisations overseas, extremist. but in addition to that there is another list of

around 40,000 people not thought to be an immediate risk but have had former links, some of them deceased, some of them contact that had been passed from overseas agencies but what happens inside m15 is that every week they hold a formal meeting called the grid, they sit down with counterterrorism police and they go through the prioritisation list and decide who should be moved up, moved down, what is the priority. the challenge here is the priority. the challenge here is trying to see inside people's heads, where you've got somebody who is possibly mentally unstable, has got other, various stimuli that are driving him or her towards extreme action, you often don't spot that. the person doesn't necessarily give that away on social media or in their communications, they just decide to go and do something and thatis decide to go and do something and that is the tricky part for them. that is why loan attacks,

generically, are much harder to stop than big, planned old—style al-qaeda things involving lots of people. frank, thank you. the prime minister is meeting senior cabinet members and leading scientific advisers today, ahead of an announcement expected tomorrow that social distancing in england can be reduced from two metres to one — with some conditions. it's thought the move will be timed to coincide with a further reopening of businesses including pubs, bars a nd restau ra nts early next month. our health correspondent lauren moss has more. keeping our distance. it's become a way of life but just keeping our distance. it's become a way of life butjust how much is the subject of debate. it's expected that tomorrow, the government will announce the findings of a review which could see the distance relaxed from two metres down to one in england, but with some strict conditions. there has been a great deal of work that's been taking place at pace over the last number of days, informed by the science, informed by experience from around

the world as well. as to how we can appropriately look at easements and reflect on the two metre rule as well. wider use of face coverings and perspex screens will likely be among the new guidelines, the changes could be in place by the 4th ofjuly, the changes could be in place by the 4th of july, the earliest changes could be in place by the 4th ofjuly, the earliest day restau ra nts, ofjuly, the earliest day restaurants, bars, hairdressers may reopen in england. as businesses prepare there are calls for urgent clarity. as an industry we have a lwa ys clarity. as an industry we have always manage people, that's what we do, the safest place to drink is in a licensed environment, you are being monitored already by staff in that environment but if it goes above and beyond that, this will become another burden to an industry already having to put in a lot of safety measures in place. other countries including china, denmark, hong kong and singapore already follow a one metre rule, uk experts say it's a bit of a balancing act. 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. testing for the virus and tracing those who may habit will be just as important as we ease further out of lockdown. trial on a new saliva test is now under way to find out if people can't test themselves at home without needing to swab the nose and throat. delivery for you. also under consideration is the advice to shield and stay home that's been given to more than 2 million people who are clinically extremely vulnerable. as more of the country prepares to reopen its not without warning from the prime minister that there will be no hesitation to apply there will be no hesitation to apply the handbrake if covid—19 cases rise again. lauren moss, bbc news. let's speak to our assistant political editor norman smith, who's in westminster now. talk ofjuly the 4th, the new independent state. simon, it will be a huge moment, probably the biggest

lifting and lockdown restrictions we've seen so far, albeit it will come with additional precautions, there will be much more widespread wearing of facemasks, you will probably have to give your contact details when you go to pubs and restau ra nts, details when you go to pubs and restaurants, there will probably be restrictions on numbers, eating and drinking, much more of it will be outdoors, find in this lovely weather, much harder in the bleak midwinter. but it is a huge moment. obviously for the economy because the hospitality and catering sector have been saying, we cannot operate under two metres, lots of us are going to go bust. similarly for offices and workplaces, hard to create that two metres space. for us as individuals, it's a huge moment, after weeks being cooped up we can begin ina after weeks being cooped up we can begin in a fortnight, hopefully, to start socialising more with friends and family. could be big for schools, if it enables larger class sizes, so better chance of school going back in september. but it's also a big moment, frankly, for the

government and in particular boris johnson because of recent weeks he's been on the back foot, battered by u—turns and setbacks, some have questioned whether he's actually recovered from his covid—19 outbreak. many in his party will be looking tomorrow to see whether he's got a looking tomorrow to see whether he's gota grip looking tomorrow to see whether he's got a grip of events, if he has a plan, and if he's got some of his old mojo back. norman, thank you. face coverings are now compulsory on public transport in scotland as restrictions there continue to be eased. from today dentists are allowed to open for emergency care and places of worship can open their doors for individual prayer. some sport can resume behind closed doors, as our scotland correspondent alexandra mackenzie reports. arriving at glasgow central station this morning. almost everyone was wearing a face covering.|j this morning. almost everyone was wearing a face covering. i think it's brilliant, i think we should all be doing it, i love it, and i love people wearing it. it's hot,

sweaty, but i think we've got to do it. i travel on the bus, sweaty, but i think we've got to do it. itravel on the bus, otherwise i don't wear it normally, i find it quite uncomfortable.” don't wear it normally, i find it quite uncomfortable. i think we should have done it long ago. i think we should have done it from the very start. some stations will provide free masks for a limited time only, police scotland and the british transport police are confident that people will comply. but you could be fined £60 if you don't. so far we are seeing high levels of compliance. lots and lots of customers have bought these coverings but for those who don't, there's lots of help in the stations, there's lots of prompts and we will keep intervening and encouraging people to make sure they follow the clear rule which is face coverings are mandatory across the rail network. there are some exemptions, if you were under five 01’ exemptions, if you were under five orfor exemptions, if you were under five or for certain exemptions, if you were under five orfor certain medical exemptions, if you were under five or for certain medical conditions, including breathing difficulties.

social distancing will become increasingly important as more people start to use public transport. at this station, there are transport. at this station, there a re clear transport. at this station, there are clear markers on the floors, there's barriers being put in place to keep people apart and there is a very strict one—way system at entry and exit points. also from today, dental practices in scotland can ta ke dental practices in scotland can take urgent cases. professional sport can resume behind closed doors. and places of worship will reopen for individual prayer. the new face covering legislation applies across all public transport but the scottish government ‘s message remains unchanged, to work from home if possible and only travel if absolutely necessary. alexandra mckenzie, bbc news, glasgow. 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. our correspondent tomos morgan has more. after almost three months, the customers are ready for high street shops to open again in wales, but the experience this time will be a little different. if they do try something on and they don't purchase it, we take the item out of the store room and we steam it. this man has been preparing for some time. aiming to make sure safety is the priority for customers and staff, as the two metre rule is written into law for employers in wales. he has adapted and done well in online selling on clothes during lockdown, but nothing can replace the business that's brought by footfall. we wanted to make customers feel safe but still let them have that experience of being able to go shopping again. you know, the shopping experience is something, especially for a small independent like ourself, quite personal. we've decided we will let one or two people in at any one time.

in preparation for shops to reopen here in wales today, the council here in the city centre in cardiff have put a number of provisions in place to help keep things safe for shoppers. they've extended pavement areas across the city and here on the high street, in the city centre, they've put a one—way system in place so shoppers can go about their business at a safe and social distance. i think it's a very good idea, they've got the measures, and i'm looking forward now after all that lockdown. it's ok. i don't think anyone's really following it, though! like, the systems are in place, but, yeah. three weeks ago the welsh government told shops to prepare for this day, so long as the virus continue to decline. but some retailers across the country say that still wasn't enough warning. as one sector restarts, further lockdown measures are being discussed on the isle of anglesey to contain an outbreak at a chicken manufacturing plant. work has been suspended there with all 560 workers now self isolating. the stay lockdown

rule remains in place in wales, meaning people should only travel within five miles of their home. it will be around another two weeks before that restriction is lifted and people here can travel further afield again. tomos morgan, bbc news, cardiff. our top story this lunchtime... tributes have been paid in reading to three people stabbed to death there on saturday. coming up, we are live on salisbury plain where archaeologists have been looking deep below the ground to uncover new secrets of stonehenge. coming up on bbc news... in sport, a noose left in the team garage of an african—american racing driver is a "dispicable act of racism". 72 years ago today 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. in the following years around half a million people from the caribbean arrived in the uk seeking a new life. many were children, travelling on their parents‘ passports — decades later they were wrongly informed they were illegally in the uk. graham satchell has been speaking to two of those affected. newsreel: the empire windrush brings to britain 500 jamaicans. 72 years ago today, the windrush saw the start of migration from the caribbean. those on board had come to work, to rebuild britain after the second world war. in 1948, britain passed a nationality act. everyone who lived in the former empire, the commonwealth, was confirmed as a british citizen. that stayed in place until 1971. the people who arrived from the caribbean in that time are known as the windrush generation. judy was just eight when she left barbados in 1963. even as a small girl she remembers

the call from britain for help. really, you should come, and mother country needs you. everyone being issued with british passports, because, you know, even before we had the passport we were always, to us, together, we saw ourselves as british. vernon was six when he arrived in london from jamaica. my mum had a commonwealth passport, and i came over on her passport which automatically made me a british subject. both vernon and judy went to school here, grew up here, gotjobs, had families. then, in 2014, everything changed. the conservative government introduced a so—called "hostile environment" for illegal migrants. nationality checks had to be done before people could get housing, a job, nhs treatment. both vernon and judy had never confirmed their british status — they never had to.

but all of a sudden they were caught in the system. i'm still very angry, i want that to be known. i'm enraged. why didn't you ask me that when i was working in health care, cleaning old people and all the rest of it? why didn't you ask me that when i was patrolling the streets and having people spit at me for a ticket on their car and all this? you didn't ask me about that then. i had no idea that somebody got down and actually planned to get rid of us, as many immigrant people as possible, you know? no, ijust got caught up in it. i'm sorry, i'm really sorry, i am. because i love... i love the united kingdom. when it became clear that elderly black british people were being detained and deported, the government eventually apologised and introduced a compensation scheme. today the home secretary is announcing a new cross—party working group to, in its words, "right the wrongs" of

the windrush scandal. vernon is yet to have his british citizenship officially confirmed. judy lost herjob and is still waiting for compensation. both have the same message for the government. do unto others as you would like done unto yourself. if everybody was to live to those simple words, what a wonderful place we would live in. wouldn't we? the lesson to be learned is to treat people fairly, especially the people that you have depended upon, and the people that have enriched this country with their labour, their sweat, their tears and everything else. it's as simple as that. that's the lesson and there's nothing hard about that. from april next year the bbc will devote £100 million of its budget over three years to "diverse and inclusive content". in announcing the plan, outgoing director general lord hall said it was a "big leap forward" towards increasing

inclusion at the bbc. we can speak now to our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba. will people be satisfied this is enough? lets be clear, this is a significant amount of money, £100 million over three years out of the tv budget to increase diverse stories and storytelling. so people will be pleased with this, i think, as a first step because the bbc is saying it genuinely wants to commit to three particular areas. diverse stories and storytelling, diverse productions with on and off air talent, as well as working with diverse production companies outside the bbc. of course, money is the all—important thing in so many of these things, where the bbc spends its money, that can make a difference to the audience watching and listening at home. will it go far enough? even the bbc says this is just the first step. the thing that needs to also change in many people's mines is attitudes notjust

at the bbc but across the broadcast spectrum. in the last weekend we saw oscar—winning director of 12 years a slave, steve mcqueen, a film that won best picture at the oscars a few yea rs won best picture at the oscars a few years ago, saying how far the uk was behind america in terms of diverse storytelling and what he called racism in the industry. the bbc says it will conduct lots more things across the board in the next few yea rs across the board in the next few years to try to tackle this particular problem and people will be watching very, very closely to see, not just about be watching very, very closely to see, notjust about money being spent but have attitudes been changed? lizo mzimba, thank you. an investigation by panorama, to be broadcast tonight, has uncovered how an international neo—nazi militant group recruits. secret recordings provide a highly unusual insight into the way an extremist organisation seeks to radicalise and spread

its violent message. daniel de simone is here. what do these recordings reveal? they really show what happens when teenagers follow the online signs into groups like this, they follow the propaganda, end up being interviewed and this reveals how the radicalisation process works, almost behind the curtain. in the clip you will see, the leader of this group, an american based in russia, he is setting out something about their ideology and someone he has just interviewed.

what we heard there was him discussing about the need for a teenager, a 17—year—old, to mature idea logically, so it reveals this grooming process. some of these teenagers are not that developed in their views and these older men, this is a 47—year—old man, talking about what they can do to radicalise him further. the starting point of the film was to look at uk teenagers who have been convicted of terrorism offences and try to understand how networks operate. and you can watch the full report on panorama, tonight at 7:30pm on bbc one and then afterwards on the iplayer. as britain and the rest of europe look to further ease lockdown restrictions, the world health organisation has warned that the pandemic is far from over. last friday saw the highest number of confimed daily cases — over 180,000 — and, as james robbins reports, areas like latin america are of particular concern. each new grave is a tragedy

of the pandemic. brazil has now registered more than 50,000 deaths and more than 1 million infections. president bolsonaro's determination to dismiss the threat and a post lockdown and distancing has been hugely divisive, many still support his far right views, others say he is to blame. we didn't prepare, we didn't take this seriously. and now we see the exponential curve exploding. when politicians face biology or challenge biology, biology wins by a huge margin. peru and chile have been particularly hard hit too. poorer countries often have limited health care. in peru they are struggling. but many governments feel they have to take risks to get their economies working again. translation: the trend is decreasing and that allows us to gradually and progressively begin to restart some of the economy. but it's the world's

most powerful country that has recorded the highest number of coronavirus deaths. across the vast territory of the usa, some states are relaxing measures in response to are relaxing measures in response to a decline in new cases, just as others face fresh spikes. the whole nation is hurting in this crucial election year. in india, by far the world's largest democracy, the growth in cases is relentless. huge cities suffered first but coronavirus is now spreading through villages which are home to the majority of india's 1.3 billion population. majority of india's1.3 billion population. rural areas are underequipped and across the country serious underreporting by the authorities of covid deaths is believed to be concealing the full scale of india's disaster. it's too easy to generalise about africa as a vast continent, but here too the extent of health care may be key. in kenya, as in many other countries,

considerable experience of past pandemics may help but health professionals fear africa's biggest testis professionals fear africa's biggest test is yet to come. but even in wealthy countries widely praised for their early responses, real risks remain. germany is seeing new localised outbreaks. at a block of flats in berlin and at a big meat processing factory in the state of north rhine—westphalia. locally, the general easing of lockdowns is being reversed to prevent progress so far being lost. james robbins, bbc news. a team of archaeologists has discovered a major new prehistoric monument, just a short distance away from stonehenge. fieldwork has revealed twenty or more massive shafts, excavated more than 4,500 years ago. jon kay is there now. good afternoon, simon. this field is about two miles from stonehenge itself, which is over in that

direction. but it's crucial to the whole story of this wider neolithic site. this is durrington walls, and it's surrounded by a perimeter you can see over there below the helicopter that has emerged. that perimeter marks the site within the circle where neolithic man would live, eat and feast here while building the stonehenge itself. what these historians and archaeologists have discovered from universities across the uk, led by the university of bradford, beyond that ridge there is another circle, another perimeter about two miles in diameter, which isa about two miles in diameter, which is a circle of pits and shafts going deep into the ground, which they think could unlock more secrets and give us more insight into the whole stonehenge story. it's one of the world's most famous sights, yet so much about stonehenge remains a mystery. but are we finally getting closer to understanding? it's this site, two miles away, that archaeologists have been examining. an area known as durrington walls.

using ground penetrating radar, they've been able to look deep into the earth and discovered what could be one of the uk's largest prehistoric sites. a ring of around 20 shafts, dug more than 4000 years ago, around the time stonehenge was built nearby. these are 20 metre diameter, at least five metre deep, sometimes even deeper, we think, shafts or pits that have been dug into the chalk and are oriented in kind of an arc, both to the south and the north of durrington walls. the orientation of them, the spacing of them, would suggest that they have some organised sort of ritualistic reason for being there. the task for historians now is to work out how the newly
