—— 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 the film, which had a largely black cast made more than $1.3 billion 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 dwayne johnson 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. it is deeply shocking. i mean, there were conversations about his health and then mainly because he is such a committed talent and dedicated his craft, maybe it was some sort of, you know, something for a role, just to hear that this is what was happening, year, has been deeply shocking and upsetting. that role as t'challa in black panther has been so important, and so powerful, in terms of its symbolism, particularly in the debate we're having in the us and the uk and the rest of the world, as well, about the of black contribution to american life in general, but also in the arts. and he... there seems to have been a pattern of choice in his career about the film roles he took. he didn't just take

anything, did he? no, that is something which is testament to who he was. actually, those who have been fans of his career thus far would have been probably surprised that he agreed to do black panther, even though its historically and logically significant it is a more commercial role when you think about the fact that he played, you know, iconic sportsman jackie robinson, you know, godfather of soul james brown, civil rights activist and lawyer lawyer thurgood marshall. —— and lawyer thurgood marshall. the fact that he chose those iconic historical black characters and icons in history, its testament to the kind of roles that he wanted to take and what path he was creating or leaving behind for people coming in his wake. 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 — 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. 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 mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham, has said decisions on restrictions should not be "imposed" by central government. and the leader of trafford council 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% 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% 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—19 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 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—19 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. let's go live to berlin where protesters are marching against coronavirus restrictions. police said they will turn out in force germany will continue with its fellow scheme for another year. this campaign group believe the federal government is overreacting to the outbreak of covid—19. they shouldn't be holding this protest at all. it

isa group be holding this protest at all. it is a group based in stuttgart. the name of the group loosely translates as thinking outside the box. they have all been restricted by the police. you can see how difficult it would be to enforce the rules on social distancing. a previous march saw thousands of people doing just that in berlin. it has been a big dilemma, actually, for angela merkel plus micro coalition government in germany. there was a willingness to accept germany. there was a willingness to a cce pt early germany. there was a willingness to accept early on some restrictions. —— angela merkel‘s coalition government. there has been a sense of frustration within these groups who see this as part of a wider picture of control by government, which they are resisting. we will keep an eye on developments in berlin and see how the police there react to it. and perhaps how they manage to contain the protests. as

you see, it isn't a march as such, but it is a happening, almost like a flash mob on a rather large scale as those protests take place and the protesters are saying they don't wa nt to protesters are saying they don't want to obey these rules. more on the news that new advice for schools in england on what to do if there's a covid outbreak in their local area. teachers say it should have been published much earlier. let's talk to julie mcculloch from the association of school and college leaders. thanks for being with us on bbc news this morning. you welcome the guidance because you've been pushing for it for quite a long time now. do you have any idea why it has taken this long? we have been pushing it for a long time. clearly, you know, some schools have already gone back. leicestershi re some schools have already gone back. leicestershire schools went back last week, most are back in this week coming. we recognise this is a hugely complex situation. the word unprecedented is overused, but it

is. we are learning more about the virus as time goes on. government, like anybody else, has to adapt what they are doing. i can see it's a complex situation, and they are having to balance what happens with schools with what broadly happens across society, as well. it is a difficultjob but it is very late for head teachers trying to plan going back to school next week. what kind of changes to what they had planned already might they now have to consider as a result of this? the biggest change in the advice that was released last night as what would happen in cases of local lockdown or local restrictions. what's being proposed is that most schools will do what everybody wants to happen, which is to be open for children full—time with protective measures in place. but what this guidance is setting out is what would happen if there are spikes of infection in a local area. we heard the prime minister yesterday saying government is very keen for schools

to stay open as much as possible. 0ther to stay open as much as possible. other services, you know, pubs and shops, may have to close, but the plan is to keep doors open —— schools open as much as possible. what the guidance set out last night was different tiers. depending on a local situation, schools can fully open, they could be back in a situation like the extreme we saw in march and april and may earlier where there are small amounts of children. all secondary schools might have to move to a rota system, some children in school, some at home. —— or secondary schools might have to do. in terms of practicality. there is suggestion that it could be a two—week on two week off rota, it might be five days and nine days. it could get quite complicated. there will have to be co nsta nt complicated. there will have to be constant communication in the circumstances between schools and pa rents. circumstances between schools and parents. notjust sending a letter home with kids the night before.

parents. notjust sending a letter home with kids the night beforem is hugely complicated. absolutely. it's already incredibly complicated thinking about what will happen to implement all of the safety measures that need to be in place. but if we are starting to look at a rota system it is incredibly complicated. the expectation is that you would have perhaps half your children in the school for a fortnight, or one week, then they would work from home. the other half would be back infor home. the other half would be back in for the next fortnight. same number of staff, same number of teachers and teaching assistant in schools. we have to look at providing education for half of the children in this situation, half of the children in school, and the other half working at home. logistically it is hugely complex. thanks very much forjoining us on bbc news. police in australia have started beach patrols 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. i've been talking to trent maxwell, a lifeguard in sydney, about how these new measures have impacted his work. lots of people don't realise that lifeguards in sydney, around the council beaches, we work all year round. so, you know, in a couple of days it'll be the first day of spring. the air temperature tomorrow will be 26,27, spring. the air temperature tomorrow will be 26, 27, so we are expecting big crowds to hit the beaches tomorrow. but, you know, we will be ready for that. we will make sure people are socially distancing. we will be making sure that we will have council workers, local police, lifeguards, just making sure everybody is doing the right thing. it's a challenge, isn't it? we know that when you had the good burst of weather early in the year people did come to the beach, and it was quite ha rd to come to the beach, and it was quite hard to persuade some people that

the rules applied and the kind of lifestyle they've 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. early in the year, in december, january, february, we had the major bushfires. people were avoiding the beach due to the smoke quality. come middle of march, coronavirus came about, so people really struggled, you know, to get involved around the beach, especially around sydney. saying that, councils have been trying their hardest to make sure that they have designated areas for people to swim, areas for people to swim, designated areas for people to swim, designated areas for people to swim, designated areas for people to serve. people are socially distancing. restaurants in places around the beaches and all around syd ney around the beaches and all around sydney are using sign in initiatives. we really are trying to eliminate the spread of this

terrible virus. and people will know, particularly australians will know, particularly australians will know, not least because of what has been happening in victoria state potentially how serious this is. from your point of view, from the job, lots of people may know you from bondi rescue and the work they see you do every day, how different does it make yourjob personally as a lifeguard? does it make yourjob personally as a lifeguard ? because does it make yourjob personally as a lifeguard? because you have to ta ke a lifeguard? because you have to take some of these considerations for your own safety. definitely. i ama for your own safety. definitely. i am a full—time firefighter, as well. when we are doing rescues and first aid, we have to keep our distance. we are still doing ourjobs, but we have masks on. when we are doing rescues have masks on. when we are doing rescu es we have masks on. when we are doing rescues we try to keep our distance, as well. it is tough sometimes, but so far so good. we are wearing masks. we are keeping the distance. we are hand sanitising. we are keeping everything clean and tidy, making sure people are doing the right thing. hats off to people

around sydney, everybody seems to be doing the right thing. today, the numbers are down. victoria, first time ina numbers are down. victoria, first time in a few weeks, it is under 100 cases. hopefully this weekend people keep doing the right thing, and we can keep moving forward. 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. full marks for effort there. let's go back to berlin. i'm told 20,000 people are expected on the streets as part of this protest. 3000 police officers have been deployed to deal with the protests. it seems unlikely they will try to disperse them. there is a truck passing through the shot. commits a train, in fact. we can see our cameraman. shot. commits a train, in fact. we can see oui’ cameraman. i shot. commits a train, in fact. we can see our cameraman. i don't think he can wave back. we were hoping to show you those pictures, but we

can't because of the train. looks like daily life in berlin is going to plan, the trains are running on time, despite protest is. you are watching bbc news. —— protesters. it wasn't too bad a starter what for many is the holiday weekend. towards the western side of the british isles, under the influence of a big area of high pressure, things were looking pretty decent. different story towards the east where it was very wet across parts yesterday, a couple of inches of rain in scarborough, for example. this weekend, a windy start east. we will return to that in a minute. it'll be cool by day and night but it'll be mainly dry. i have to emphasise mainly dry. i have to emphasise mainly dry. i have to emphasise mainly dry because the low pressure which brought so much in the way of rain over the past couple of days and those heavy showers is still not 1 million mild away from us. eastern areas are still close to the influence of that low pressure

system. —— 1 million eastern side of the pennines, down towards east anglia and the south—east it travels with time through the afternoon. ever present will be the strength of the wind. exposed coastal sea gusts up to 50 mph. those breezes continue down the irish sea. the wind is coming from the north. it won't be warm, 12 to 18 degrees. 0nwards comes that cloud and rain into the early part of the evening, eventually getting down towards sussex and kent, as well. the combination of the breeze and cloud will keep the temperature is up. elsewhere, it'll be a chilly night for the time of year. at least that becomes a really sparkling morning to start your sunday. the wind is still a feature here, may be some cloud and the odd spot of rain to get away from kent and essex. that clears away, then a decent day. a spotting of showers, not much more

than that, but, again, despite the fa ct than that, but, again, despite the fact the wind is easing, it is still 12 to 18 on the thermometers. we do it all over again as we go from sunday night, under the influence of the high pressure system, not much in the way of breeze and cloud, so another chilly start. but at least it's a gloriously sunny day. the cloud will develop through the course of the day. it'll cloud out as the front approaches northern ireland, but to many places will stay dry. despite the sunshine, it won't be overly warm.

welcome to the programme which brings together leading correspondents in the uk with those who write and broadcast about this country to the folks back home. after a week in which republicans and rioting vied for the headlines in the united states, will president trump get the law and order election campaign he's hoping for? and a resignation in brussels and a sacking in london — has the pandemic changed the way those who govern us are held to account? joining us this week are thomas kielinger,

of die welt in germany, and the canadianjeffrey kofman, who's given us audiences an insight into the world beyond. and here in the studio with me isjo coburn, presenter of politics live, which reports the uk political scene, and which returns — along with westminster‘s mps — in the coming week. welcome to all of you, it is good to have you with us on dateline. welcome to all of you, it is good to have you with us on dateline. let's begin in the united states, where donald trump — reality—tv star turned us president — made his pitch for a second term, hitting back, and hard, against his democrat rival, joe biden. no—one will be safe in biden's america. he thundered. he was speaking in the precincts of the white house on thursday night, marking the end of his party's pre—election convention. republicans had to compete for news coverage with the more compelling pictures out of kenosha, a city in wisconsin. there, last sunday, another shooting of a black man by a white police officer sparked protests, then three nights of rioting.
