hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world — stay with us for the latest news and analysis from here and across the globe. chadwick boseman, the actor best known for playing the lead in the marvel superhero movie, black panther has died from colon cancer at the age of a3. he passed away at home with his family at his side. chadwick boseman was diagnosed with the disease four years ago, but had not made the information public. he made several films whilst receiving treatrment, including black panther, set in the fictional african nation of wakanda. the film, which had a largely black cast made more than one point three billion dollars worldwide and won many awards including three oscars. paul hawkins looks back at his career.

his death will come as a shock to many. chadwick boseman never spoke publicly about his four—year battle with colon cancer, continuing to film movies between operations and chemotherapy. it makes his role in the 2018 landmark superhero film black panther even more remarkable. set in the fictional african country of wakanda, it was the first hollywood blockbuster with a black superhero, directed by an african—american, with a mainly black cast. it was hailed for its diversity. it's not as... culturally, like, significant as president 0bama being president... but it does have a similar feeling, that people take it for granted now — they have little kids who think that's normal. it was the film which made boseman a household name, and came after acclaimed roles asjames brown in get on up... something at stake here.

..and baseball pioneer jackie robinson in 42 — ironically the 28th of august was jackie robinson day in the us. most recently, he starred in netflix vietnam film da five bloods, directed by spike lee, and has one more film to be released — an adaptation of the play ma rainey‘s black bottom by august wilson. people think that he hadn't done a lot, but he actually had done a lot. he had done television even before he came to the big screen. he did cold case, he did csi: new york. he did third watch. he had a lot of guest starring roles and smaller roles in television before he was able to leap over into the big screen. but it's black panther that chadwick boseman will be best known for. he died on the same day as the birthday of jack kirby — the man who created the superhero. paul hawkins, bbc news. tributes have been paid to chadwick boseman since the news of his death. democratic

vice—presidential candidate kamala harris, who attended the same university as boseman tweeted — "heartbroken. my friend and fellow bison chadwick boseman was brilliant, kind, learned, and humble. he left too early but his life made a difference. sending my sincere condolences to his family." actor chris evans known for his role as marvel super hero, captain america, tweeted — "i'm absolutely devastated. this is beyond heart—breaking. chadwick was special. a true original. he was a deeply committed and constantly curious artist. he had so much amazing work still left to create. i'm endlessly grateful for our friendship. rest in power, king" and the actor dwaynejohnson tweeted — "hard to hear about this. rest in love, brother. thank you for shining your light and sharing your talent with the world. my love and strength to yourfamily." akua gyamfi is the founder of the british blacklist — which champions the work of african and caribbean people in the arts. she helped work with

the black panther team. thank you for talking to us on bbc news, this must have come as a real shot, not least because he has been so shot, not least because he has been so private about the fight he was having with cancer. yeah, it is deeply shocking and there were conversations about his health and then people assume may be because he is such a committed talent and dedicated to his craft, maybe it was something for a role and just to hear that this was what was happening, yeah, it has been deeply shocking and upsetting. that role in black panther has been so important and so powerful in terms of its symbolism, especially in the debate we are having in the us and the uk and the rest of the world as well about the importance of black contribution to american life in general, but also in the arts. there seems to be a pattern of choices in his career about the film roles he

took, he didn't just his career about the film roles he took, he didn'tjust take anything, did he? no, and that is something thatis did he? no, and that is something that is testament to who he was and actually, if those who had been fans of his career thus far, would have been surprised he agreed to play black panther because although it is historically and politically soon evident, it is a more commercial role if you think about the fact he played jackie robinson and james brown and a civil rights activists. the fact he chose those iconic, historical black characters and icons in history is testament to the kind of roles that he wanted to take on what path he was creating were leaving behind for people coming in his wake. to have a black superhero ina his wake. to have a black superhero in a major his wake. to have a black superhero ina majorand his wake. to have a black superhero in a major and hugely successful hollywood movie, one of the most successful movies of all time, how did that impact, do you think, on audiences? i mean, black panther,

from the day it was announced, he p°pped from the day it was announced, he normed up from the day it was announced, he popped up in previous marvel films asa popped up in previous marvel films as a precursor to what we were going to get but hadn't been announced he was going to get his own film. when it did,i was going to get his own film. when it did, i think, as you mentioned, the conversation we are having today about diversity and representation and the myth that has been pedalled out that black content, black heroes, leads and films cannot sell and will not engage audiences across the world, black panther really tore that up. amongst other projects, but black panther said never get laid, the fact that marvel had this legacy and following, and the fact this was the first black superhero given its own film and space to breathe, the way the black community, online and face—to—face, got behind this film and said this is something that is for us, we are going to get behind chadwick, they cast and the director, and really show people that this is something that can work, and it really significantly did. i remember the work, and it really significantly did. i rememberthe london work, and it really significantly did. i remember the london premiere asa did. i remember the london premiere as a journalist, being on the red carpet and getting to speak to chadwick. it was so monumental and

the fact we are having this conversation in the uk again about black press having access to places like red carpets are speaking to celebrities in the same way that our mainstream counterparts, usually white platforms, are given, this black panther really tore up the script and show something different and showed there is an accessibility thatis and showed there is an accessibility that is deserved to. i hadn't realised until the day he had spent pa rt realised until the day he had spent part of his training in the uk and that he had that frustrating experience a lot of particular black actors have an american television —like bit parts in csi and the no breakthrough roles in television at all. this is what happens. every jobbing actor, you do go through the stepping stones of having to do this more serious and get the bit parts in the walk on parts and you slowly build your career, but as we know, for black characters and actors and actors of colour, the journey is a lot harder in the path to breakthrough is not as easy as may

be their white counterparts. it is frustrating for all and the fact that chadwick boseman is such a talented actor, he is committed to his roles, when you see him in the films i mentioned like 42, marshall, and in black panther he embodies his character in such a believable way, it is hard to believe that he of all people would have trouble trying to get that significant role that will elevate his career, but this is what happens. i think the fact he was able to do so much in such a short space of time, especially during his illness, is testament to keep on going, to keep trying, to believing who you are and really think about those roles and those choices that you make, because tomorrow not promised. indeed. as the premature end to chadwick's life and career demonstrates. thank you for sharing your thoughts. after months of growing pressure, the uk government has published contingency plans for schools

in england in the event of a local outbreak of coronavirus. the guidance, which includes a potential rota system for secondary school pupils, has been welcomed by teaching unions, but they've criticised the timing of its publication. it comesjust days before millions of pupils in england return to the classroom. simonjones reports. the empty classrooms will soon be back in use again. millions of pupils return to school next week, but with teachers, students and parents asking how will it work? the government has now revealed its contingency plans for what it calls a worst—case scenario, if local areas in england have to go into lockdown. the default position, tier one, will see schools remaining open, with all pupils attending full time. but if infection rates locally are considered too high, tier two could see secondary pupils on a part—time rota, spending two weeks in school, and at the next two weeks working from home. a more severe response, tier 3, would see most secondary pupils study at home. followed by tier four, where only children of key workers and vulnerable children

would attend school. the prime minister has made clear his desire to see all pupils back in the classroom, but teaching unions say the new guidance has been a long—time coming. we have been asking for months and months and months, what if schools need to close down because of lockdown — that's been seen as a kind of act of heresy and yet here we are, the friday night before a bank holiday weekend, the schools are going to open — it really isn't the government's finest hour. we'll make this happen but it is incredibly infuriating, i think, for lots of leaders that here they are now having to respond to pages of guidance. some pupils have already returned. here in leicestershire and scotland, there is much to get used to, and some confusion about whether all members of a pupil's bubble, potentially a whole year group, would have to self—isolate if a single student tested positive for coronavirus. that was what was initially advised, only to be taken off the government website hours later. the health secretary matt hancock

has warned that further nationwide restrictions can't be ruled out should england see a spike in cases this winter, but the message from the government is that they are preparing for the worse while doing everything they can to avoid it happening. simon jones, bbc news. 0ur political correspondent ellie price is here. hello, lets start with the criticism of the timing of the advice, because it didn't actually appear until friday evening? no, late last night, about 7:30pm and that has been the criticism, as you heard in simon's piece, from the teaching unions and labour has picked up on again, that it is unfair. it is a bank holiday weekend and it hasn't given teachers much time because schools are meant to be going back as of next tuesday. there was also criticism there was a paragraph in there, in the press release, that this guidance which talks about how if one student or teacher any bubble or your group,

went down with the virus than the entire year group might have to self—isolate. that was then changed and clarified by the department for education this morning, he said that actually, if a whole bubble of classroom should isolate if one pupil test positive, that was wrong. it would only be members of their household that should self—isolate and it would be if anyone else in the bubble were showing symptoms than they would need to self—isolate. than they would need to self-isolate. that is the problem, is if stuff is rushed out quite late on, there is often not enough time to check and recheck things and we know the dangers of people getting half an idea but not the full idea. pa rents half an idea but not the full idea. parents need to go what is going on as well. it comes at a time when it has been a difficult summer for the government with regards to education, way back at the beginning of summer holidays we were told that students, all students will go back to school before the summer holidays. 0f to school before the summer holidays. of course that didn't happen. then we headed back over

exa m happen. then we headed back over exam results and how they were going to be marked. 0f exam results and how they were going to be marked. of course, this is not been a good look for the government. we have had this interesting development in the middle of the week when the chief civil servant at the department for education has been told effectively his services are no longer required, we had the rising nation of the exam are greater. the prime minister talked about the need for new official leadership, but not new political leadership. how comfortable are mps of that? how well do they think the department for education has been run ata department for education has been run at a political level? there have been rumblings about gavin williamson and his achievements as education secretary, and other things i've been about that the government has not been seen doing well at. the issue is this, the government, for the men's two in particular, he is taking this as a personal crusade. he talks about the need for there to be a moral duty about getting stupid school —— for

the prime minister in particular. it has become a symbol that students will return and i'm sure they will, on tuesday, because that is going to be seen as a symbol of some kind of getting back to a new normal. of course, it's not just getting back to a new normal. of course, it's notjust students going back to carry on with their studies. it means a lot of parents will be able to go back to work and we had all that stuff yesterday about how pa rents, all that stuff yesterday about how parents, how people should be going back to the office and back to work if they could. i think there is a real push if you like, from the government to deal with the risk of the virus and then deal with the risk of... but at the same time, this competing ambition to get back toa this competing ambition to get back to a new normal. thank you very much. travellers arriving into the uk from switzerland, the czech republic and jamaica must now quarantine for two weeks, after new rules came into force at 4am this morning. the government says the move is needed to keep the uk's infection rates down. meanwhile cuba, where there has been a drop in cases, has been added to the list of destinations people can return from without

needing to self—isolate. there's been criticism of the uk governments' decision to ease regional lockdown restrictions in parts of the north—west england. the labour leader of trafford council in greater manchester, andrew western, described the move as "premature" after his area saw a slight increase in coronavirus infection rates in recent days. the health secretary matt hancock said he has every faith residents would play their part by following local rules. several european countries are re—imposing travel restrictions and increasing safety measures as they try to tackle a surge in new coronavirus infections. there was a 15 percent pick up in the number of cases in europe this week, compared to the previous seven—day period. the higest rise in cases was in italy. they've doubled, with more than 1,000 new cases on average per day. the average number of daily cases in france now stands at 4,000 — which is a 45 percent rise. and after getting control of the pandemic after its initial wave of infections spain is now struggling to control a rise in cases. it's become the first european

country to pass 400,000 infections, as our correspondent guy hedgecoe reports from madrid. aaah! a new testing campaign run by the local government and aiming to identify asymptomatic carriers of coronavirus gets under way in a clinic in madrid. many areas of spain, such as catalonia and the basque country, have seen a resurgence of covid—i9 this summer. the people waiting to be tested here in the capital are aware that in recent days their city has been more affected than any other. there is a lot of people that are asymptomatic, so we don't know if we are with the virus. translation: i am afraid. i am here with my daughters so they can do the test translation: i am afraid. i am here with my daughters

so they can do the test because they are going back to school. lam afraid. the lifting of restrictions in late june has meant that in many cases, spaniards have been able to have something like a normal summer. not everyone has followed the guidelines regarding social distancing, and the obligatory use of face masks in public places. this second wave is completely different from the first wave that we had in march and april. it is not reaching that high numbers of cases per day. many asymptomatic people are being diagnosed because of case tracing, and it is mostly affecting only young people. with a national lockdown no longer in place, specific areas where covid—i9 has been spreading have been applying their own restrictions. villamalea, a town with 4000 inhabitants on the plains of castilla—la mancha, is one such case. in the middle of august the number of coronavirus cases here in villamalea

suddenly started to climb. by the time it reached around 100 infections, local authorities decided to reintroduce some of the restrictions we had already been in place across spain earlier this year. now that has meant telling people they must stay indoors where possible and it has also meant that roads like this one leading in and out of villamalea have been shut down in recent days. translation: we have already had experience of a lockdown, and know that it works. when we have had a lockdown, things get better, but it is difficult. earlier this year, spaniards were left reeling by the impact of coronavirus. but as covid—19 looms once again, the hope is that the country is better prepared to face it. guy hedgecoe, bbc news, central spain. police in australia will start beach patrols today to enforce coronavirus restrictions,

as lifeguards return to duty at the end of winter. warm weather in sydney is expected to draw large crowds to the coast. authorities at bondi and other popular beaches are warning people to stay a towel—length apart, and limit gatherings to 20 people. trent maxwell is a lifeguard in sydney he joins us live. wellcome wellco m e to wellcome to bbc news, thank you so much for speaking to us. are you looking forward to finally getting back out there, doing the job, after all these months of enforced frustration? yeah, well, first a bulk good day, it is good to be here. a lot of people don't realise that lifeguards in sydney, around the way we cancel beaches, work all year around. it will be the first day of spring and a couple of days, it will be high temperature so we are expecting big crowds to hit the beaches. we are going to be ready

for that, we are going to make sure people are socially distancing, we will make sure that we will have council workers, local police, lifeguards and make sure everyone is doing the right thing. it is a challenge because we know when we had the burst of good weather earlier in the year, people came to the beach and it was hard to persuade some people that the rules applied and that the lifestyle they have enjoyed on the beach was going to have to be adapted to the new realities of this virus. definitely, not only in australia, but the whole world has suffered from this pandemic. earlier in the air, january, fabry, we had major bushfires so people had smoke quality fears, then covid—19 came around, so people struggled to get involved around the beach culture around sydney. having said that, the councils have been trying our

ha rd est to councils have been trying our hardest to make sure that they have decimated areas for people to surf, to social distance, we have restau ra nts a nd places to social distance, we have restaurants and places around the beaches and all around sydney, we are using or codes and signing into every establishment you go to. ray really are trying to limit the spread of this terrible virus. particularly australians will know, not least because of what has been happening in victoria state, of how serious this is. from your point of view, from thejob, and lots of people may know you from bondi rescue and they work they see you doing every day, how different does it make yourjob personally as a lifeguard? you it make yourjob personally as a lifeguard ? you have it make yourjob personally as a lifeguard? you have got to take some of these issues into consideration for your own safety. definitely. i ama for your own safety. definitely. i am a full—time firefighter as well, soiam am a full—time firefighter as well, so i am going to be a rescue centre thursdays are making sure i keep my distance. i am still doing thejob,

but we have masson, we are doing rescues and making sure we are trying to keep a distance. it is tough sometimes. —— we have masks on. we are keeping a distance, we have been hand sanitising. hats off to people around sydney, seems to do the right thing. the numbers are down. victoria, first time in a few weeks they are actually under 100 cases, so hopefully this weekend people keep doing the right thing and we can keep going. it would be great to see the beach is busy again. thanks so much for being with us. good luck with that. no worries, ta ke us. good luck with that. no worries, take it easy. the biggest race in cycling, the tour de france, will finally get under way in nice in the next couple of hours. the three—week spectacle was postponed last month because of covid—19

but the french government has now allowed it to go ahead after precautions were put in place. fans will be allowed to watch but their numbers will restricted. let's talk to the cycling commentator, laura winter. hello, it is exciting to have it back, isn't it? but with conditions. it is, it is usually excited, i was quite emotional today because it feels like a day when we have sport back and life is moving on, but the tensions and the concerns surrounding the race are enormous andi surrounding the race are enormous and i don't think we have actually ever had a race that has started under such scrutiny with such concern as this one, as cases in france continue to rise and rise. and the restrictions are put in place by the race local authorities continue to get tighter as well. raising that question about restrictions, one of the rules that was announced, and then appears to have been unannounced again, was that if you had two members of your tea m that if you had two members of your team testing positive, the whole tea m team testing positive, the whole team could be out and they wouldn't necessarily have to be riders. that

was backtracked on and then this morning, the uci have actually put forward a statement saying whether it is riders or staff. if you test no negative or positive for a coronavirus, they will be removed from the tour at the organiser‘s discretion, which is important to add. they do make tissue —— they do need to make sure these are positive tests are need to make sure these are positive tests a re not need to make sure these are positive tests are not false positives, so they have set up a mobile testing unit to ensure testing will be done within two hours and the riders and staff will know for sure where they stand before the next day's stage.|j am sure there have been plenty of jokes about the various doping scandals over the various years about the willingness and ability of people to be tested, and the whole infrastructure for doing that. but, it is still such an iconic event in france, isn't it? it is quite hard to imagine somebody who is in possession of the yellow jersey suddenly having that call, just the customer was of the back—up team

have tested positive. —— just because two members of the back—up team. it would be a bit of an embarrassment for the president. they normally want to welcome the cyclists on that last round. it would be an extraordinary measure for the yellow jersey wearer and would be an extraordinary measure for the yellowjersey wearer and his tea m for the yellowjersey wearer and his team to be pulled from the race. it would be unprecedented. this year is already extraordinary and remarkable, and for that to happen would be beyond our reasoning right now. another thing to add is that the race could be curtailed or stopped. there is many questions as to whether it will actually get to paris at all. if the race is stopped, are riders going to change strategy? and race harder in the opening week or two weeks to ensure they have got the jersey on their backs, if the race is stopped? the uci and aso will be looking at protocols and sanctions around that. there is still questions to be answered, but it is very much

business as usual. the show must go on in nice at the moment. indeed, we are looking forward to that. thanks much. that's right thanks so much. you are watching bbc news. thousands of football fans will be welcomed back to brighton & hove albion's amex stadium for the first professional football match in england with a crowd since lockdown began. there'll be 2,500 fans in the ground this afternoon for the preseason friendly with chelsea— as part of government's test events monitoring their safe return. there will be empty seats between each of those attending and spectators will need to wear a face covering at all times on the way to, at, and when leaving the stadium — apart from when in their seat. the organisers of the notting hill carnival have urged revellers to stay off the streets this weekend, as the event moves online for the first time in its 54—year history. a decision to cancel the west london street party was announced in may, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

caroline davies has been looking at the challenges of hosting an entirely digital festival. carnival but not as we've known it. this year, because of coronavirus, notting hill carnival has gone digital. when we first realised carnival wouldn't be able to happen on the streets, probably around early may, we decided carnival was too important an event to just simply cancel it and walk away. matthew has been attending carnival from when he was a child. it fell to him, the board and the community to turn it into an online event. everybody involved in carnival loves it. it's a labour of love. i think the hardestjob was working out, you know, how we could fit everything in. sun divas are one group who've made the cut. they've both been part of carnivalfor years. my earliest memory isjust, like, being on the road, dancing to music, like, nonstop and just everyone smiling and being happy. when you're commited to carnival, you watch the dates, the weather, everything —

you make sure everything has to be right. we kind of knew there was a possibility. everyone's safety is paramount. as well as acts, there'll be interviews online with those who make carnival happen. all the documentation that happens around carnival, around the culture, the history, the music, everything... i think it will help people to enjoy carnival in a different way. it will be a different year for those watching — like barry and linda. they've rarely missed a carnival for the last 50 years. they have been shielding but they still have plans under the butterfly barry made in carnival‘s honour. we shall set up the barbecue, get the carnival music on, and have a good time. my only sadness there is i am not allowed tojump up and down because of my hernia operation. carnival represents london and it's an opportunity both to both celebrate and say all the prejudice and all the discrimination is unacceptable — it's wrong. this year, the organisers say,

is firmly digital—only, and the police have also urged people not to come down to notting hill. people who organised this event, put it online, have clearly put a lot of effort and energy into creating this really innovative new style of doing it, and i would encourage people to respect that and comply with it and really try and maximise the use of the online space. everyone hopes the carnival will be back on the street in 2021. at least now we know we can do carnival virtually, but really, carnival is not the same unless we are physically all together, all—inclusive, everybody partying under the sun or under the rain — you know, we make the best of it. so, wherever you are, the organisers wish you a good carnival. caroline davies, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with phil avery. hello, it has been a pretty decent start to what, for many, is the holiday weekend of course. probably, at its best,

out towards the west,
