this is bbc news. the headlines at five. university lecturers warn that plans to reopen universities in september will be too dangerous without a coronavirus testing programme. we are really worried that we can see universities being the care home of any second wave of covid—19 in the uk. thousands of anti—government demonstrators take to the streets of minsk again to protest at what they believe is the rigged re—election of the belarus president. the crowd here shouting, disgrace. disgrace, they are shouting. and they're shouting the message to the people over there.

look at all those riot police that have come out. a that is why these protests are different. police in south wales and norfolk say they trying to disperse large numbers of people attending illegal raves. european countries are urged to offer "a place of safety" to hundreds of migrants — rescued by ships in the mediterranean — including one paid for by the street artist banksy. and harry maguire‘s account of what happened on that night in greece, in his own words — the bbc‘s interview with the manchester united captain coming up in half an hour. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. university lecturers say it's too dangerous for students to return

to ‘face to face‘ studies before christmas. the university and college union is warning campuses could become the ‘care homes‘ of a second wave of coronavirus. university leaders say they‘ve been planning for months to create a safe learning environment for students. here‘s our education editor, bra nwen jeffreys. it‘s been quiet on campuses since march, but within weeks, students are due to return — more than a million across the uk. the university lecturers‘ union says that should be put on hold. they want students to stay home, study online, unless they‘re doing a practical course, and warn full reopening could prompt a crisis. we are really worried that we could see universities becoming the care home of any second wave of covid—19 in the uk. the sheer amount of people that we‘re asking to move across the country and then

congregate together in large numbers, when we don‘t think there is sufficient safety measures in place. so, we‘re looking at big residential bubbles, we‘re looking at students potentially mixing outside of those, and, as we say, no real way to trace or to test. the national union of students agrees, but universities say they‘re making campuses safe. more cleaning, partitions, face coverings, most offering a mix of online and face—to—face learning, clear rules in student accommodation. universities say they expect students to be responsible. every student signs a contract with that university and, this year, those contracts have been amended to include particular rules around social distancing and following the guidance that's in place at that time. the vast majority of our students are very responsible young adults. any small minority that don't obey

the requirements of that contract, we have adjusted our disciplinary procedures and we will deal with them under those procedures. the government says it‘s right for universities to reopen. it‘s going to update its advice in england. many students can‘t wait to start, but student life this year won‘t be quite the same. branwen jeffreys, bbc news. professorjonathan ball is a virologist at the university of nottingham. nic mitchell is a freelance journalist who specialises in international higher education. he joins us via webcam from middlesbrough. professor, is it really fear to say this could be the care homes crisis of the second wave? i think we have

understood and realised for some time that universities can be a potential flare point for coronavirus infections. purely because we are living thousands of people into close proximity to one another, sometimes living in fairly large households and therefore universities have been aware and have been planning the return for students. one of the things we liked was some government leaders on how to deal with this, in particular around testing and surveillance of virus infections. the language, the ca re virus infections. the language, the care homes of the second wave, it is a completely different demographic. yes. it is designed to raise concern but we need to remember that most of the people who will be attending universities are young and will experience mild symptoms so we are not going to see anything like the

amount of problems we see in care homes but the analogy to the risk in terms of transmission, we do need to ta ke terms of transmission, we do need to take that seriously, particularly stu d e nts take that seriously, particularly students will mix with surrounding communities. we are aware of the problem and lots of universities are setting in place a variety of measures, including their own funding and testing surveillance which we are exploring in nottingham and we have had a pilot surveillance study for returning veterinary students. please remain with us. it is going to be very different for stu d e nts is going to be very different for students going up in a week or two, not least social distancing, it will not least social distancing, it will not seem like normal student life but presumably not that many international students potentially this year? we still do not know how many international students will

come to the uk. uk hopes they will come. manchester university has stated they think as many as half there‘s international students will not come which is very worrying. there‘s international students will not come which is very worryingm would be, not least forfinances not come which is very worryingm would be, not least for finances for manchester university. what about the situation for british kids who wa nt to the situation for british kids who want to study abroad?|j the situation for british kids who want to study abroad? i cannot speak on that but i do know from the experience in scandinavia, where the universities opened before us, in norway for instance, they have cancelled incoming and outgoing student exchanges because they do not want to increase the risk of the virus spreading from one country to another. in this country, independent sage has suggested that quarantine measures should be both supportive and strict. you cannot

expect students coming from china, india, malaysia or wherever to just turn up at the airport and go to the campus and then isolate themselves for two weeks without contact with the outside world. i see that harvard university is not allowing any student to go for even an online course this year and permission to enter the united states is up and there is a might be in germany as well which will be a problem for any student who has chosen to study abroad. let us return to the professor, the government is saying everything is as safe as it can be for schools, you saying your has done as done as much as possible like a lot of universities, but it is not completely risk free, do you accept that? no, any movement of people where they‘re living in close proximity will the risk of increased

transmission of virus which is why universities are taking this very seriously. lots of them are having active discussions and indeed actions to try and work out exactly how much virus they might be importing into the campus at the early stages when students turn up but then continuing to monitor whether there are outbreaks of coronavirus and to deal with them. picking up on the point of support, we are well aware of the fact we need to support students who are quarantining or need to support students who are quara ntining or isolating need to support students who are quarantining or isolating and measures are in place. this is a real challenging time, we cannot put the whole country and the whole economy on hold until coronavirus blows over because the reality is it may take a long period of time. therefore we have to work towards having some kind of return of normality whilst also controlling the potential risk that coronavirus still poses. in your research, this

is your specialist area, because of the fiasco with the a—level grades, the fiasco with the a—level grades, the numbers of people perhaps expanding in certain universities, will the social distancing arrangements for special subjects like medicine and veterinary which need labs, has that all been arranged in terms of making life as safe as possible for the students next week? i am sure the universities are doing everything they can to make everything as safe as possible but this is notjust about being in our laboratory or a small teaching room. already most universities are going online for the big lectures. the problem is not just the classroom, for instance you mentioned universities in the states having problems. several of the universities have been forced to abandon face—to—face teaching because of parties and social

interaction and they have been forced to go online but the american government has told foreign students that they cannot come to the states if their courses are purely one line so it is a big dilemma for the uk. i personally think if overseas stu d e nts personally think if overseas students quarantine for two weeks, at least home students and all classes should be online for the first few weeks of the new academic year and perhaps up to christmas. professor bell, what do you think about sanctions for students who do not abide with these measures. we will be speaking about raves around the country, thousands of people in some cases, students before they go to university attending these illegal gatherings, do you think universities will have to get tougher in terms of sanctions on stu d e nts tougher in terms of sanctions on students who break the rules?|j

think universities understand already the problem is that they face in terms of socialising. these are young people, many of them are going to university for the first time, they want to mix with their peers and of course there is increased risk. but there is clear guidance about how to mix safely so they are... my point, professor, it is all very well saying to i9—year—olds, you should be doing this, these are the guidelines but when you put that into practice, what happens to those people who flout the guidelines? it depends. universities will have their own rules to apply but there will be sanctions for people who willingly, knowingly break what are rules of engagement. when a student turns up, they sign a contract and behaviour, this is what is expected of them.

just to set it in context, we have had veterinary students who turned up had veterinary students who turned up on campus for the past few weeks. these are first years who want to socialise and mix and their behaviour and attitudes have been incredibly good. carrier testing on those students and we have had no cases so far, thankfully. we have to be aware of the risks but equally we have to allow the students to get the education they worked hard for and to enjoy university life as much as is possible at the moment. thank you very much both forjoining us. plenty more on this story on the website. asi as ijust mentioned in the interviews with those guests. police have been tackling a number of illegal raves across parts of the uk over the holiday weekend — with one event on the edge

of the brecon beacons in wales attended by upto 3,000 people. hundreds of people have also gathered in thetford forest in norfolk — at an event which started last night and was due to continue through to tomorrow. that has now been stopped. west yorkshire police also broke up a street party in harehills last night, and fined eight people for holding parties around the leeds area. our correspondent andy moore has more on these illegal raves. some pretty heavy fines? that is correct. these new fines came into force on friday, announced by the home secretary so up to £10,000 for people organising these illegal events. west yorkshire police have been quick off the mark, they have already fined eight people, that sort of amount £10,000. 15 people we re sort of amount £10,000. 15 people were fined for attending events. despite fines like that, people have been warned, a lot of events are

going on around the country. one on the edge of wales, about 3000 people attending that one. these are pictures of an event near the ancient fleet mines in thetford forest. that has been dealt with by norfolk police, up to 500 people in attendance there. you can see some vehicles that have been abandoned. they say up to 100 vehicles are parked illegally on the site. a lot of police resources involved, the police service helicopter, drone unitand police service helicopter, drone unit and dogs so that was norfolk. as you say, expensive, a lot of police resources and the one in brecon, thousands of resources. yes, that was attended by 3000 people and the police are in the process of trying to break that up. it started last night and the noise could be heard 1a miles away. again a lot of

resources involved, police trying to move unlawfully parked cars which cause problems for local people. the chief constables that we have not seen chief constables that we have not seen the skill of event to date and it is totally unacceptable. police in london warning about illegal car meetings happening tonight, the tunnel run under the river thames, these are illegal, do not attend them. thank you very much. university lecturers warn that plans to reopen universities in september will be too dangerous without a coronavirus testing programme. police criticise "irresponsible" actions as thousands attend unlicensed raves in norfolk and near the brecon beacons. thousands of anti—government demonstrators take to

the streets of minsk again — to protest at what they believe is the rigged re—election of the belarus president. thousands of anti—government demonstrators have gathered in the belarussian capital minsk, for a third sunday of protests at what they believe is the rigged re—election of the belarus president alexander lu kashenko. these are the latest scenes — which havejust come in to us this afternoon — with security forces lining up to face protesters . belarus is two hours ahead of us in the uk but you can see ominous lines of security forces. some of the protesters walking up to them with flowers a nd protesters walking up to them with flowers and flags. a short while ago we managed to speak to our correspondent in minsk steve rosenberg — who is for the moment still able to broadcast. there has been a problem with journalists in recent days but we did manage to get hold of our correspondence a few hours ago. well, sundays has become the key day

of protest in belarus against alexander lukashenko. demonstrators are back on the streets of minsk. crowds here shouting disgrace, disgrace. they are shouting the message to the people over there. look at all those riot police. that is why today‘s protest feels different from last sunday and the sunday before. a lot of riot police have come out. there is a stand—off. a lot of protesters actually lying down on the road, trying to stop the riot police from moving down. we know that up ahead the police have cordoned off the square to prevent the mass gathering and the numbers we have seen on previous weekends. now they are shouting, go away, go away. it is something of a stand—off. steve rosenberg reporting from minsk. the un refugee agency says hundreds of migrants who‘ve been rescued in the mediterranean must be granted a place of safety.

they‘re still at sea having been rescued by three boats — including one which has been paid for by the british street artist banksy. simonjones reports. brought to shore and to safety. 49 migrants who had initially been rescued by a ship belonging to banksy, the louise michel. they were taken to lampedusa by the italian coast guard. these are the lucky ones. the fate of hundreds more people still on the water remains unclear. the louise michel had picked up more than 200 people at sea. it became dangerously overcrowded and stranded off the coast of malta. some of the migrants had to stay on life rafts, floating alongside the boat. the crew said nobody in the international community was willing to help. everyone that has been rescued is deeply traumatised. we‘ll keep trying to contact the european authorities to be assigned a port of safety. one ship did come to help — another rescue vessel,

the sea—watch four. it was already carrying around 200 migrants. it has now taken on board those from the louise michel. they are being given medical assessments, with treatment for dehydration, hypothermia and fuel burns. the sea—watch crew tweeted, we now have around 350 people on board who need to disembark in a safe port as soon as possible. the louise michel added, it is not over, we demand a place of safety for all survivors now. the louise michel had only recently gone into service as a rescue ship complete with its own banksy artwork. the artist has accused the eu authorities of ignoring distress calls from non—europeans. the un refugee agency says a solution must be found and saving lives is a humanitarian imperative. simon jones, bbc news. i‘ve been speaking to chris grodotzki — he‘s part of the rescue team. the weather was worsening,

and the louise michel was rolling a lot, so it was difficult to get people off the ship. a lot of them were already seasick and had spent too much time on their rubber boat and later on the much moving louise michel. and on the life raft, so they were seasick, they showed signs of fuel burns, they were disorientated, dehydrated. it was not easy but it was a transshipment, it was definitely not a rescue operation because the louise michel had already stabilised the situation, all the people had life vests. so that was a very good cooperation. that is good news. there were some reports there might‘ve been a fatality or more on board. can you confirm that? there was not a fatality on board on the louise michel but on the rubber boat before the louise michel could intervene and could arrive on scene. but people on board told us there were probably

two more fatalities, who already went overboard during theirjourney because none of the european institutions, none of the european authorities was intervening to rescue this rubber boat. ok, so, just tell us what the situation is at the moment. these people are safe for the time being but nowhere is offering to allow you and them to dock, is that right? so far, that‘s right. so, maltese and italian authorities, multi is especially but also the italians have as usual... denied assistance during the rescue operation, have denied assistance so far to give us a port of safety, which would be their duty by the law of the sea. the situation on board is so far is stable. the people have been treated by the msf team on board, for fuel burns, for seasickness, for dehydration, and for many other injuries. and the decks are stuffed now, so this is definitely not a situation we can keep

on going for a long amount of time because we have over 300. so, the italians, and critics of what you are doing as a humanitarian operation, would say you are encouraging people to make these dangerous crossings because they know they‘re going to be picked up by you. the problem is this, isn‘t it, if you are full now and more boats come across, you‘re not going to be able to pick them up, are you? we are not able to pick them up. and also scientific studies have shown that especially in the last few years where our ships were impounded repeatedly, by italy, by malta, and by other states, that in the large parts of time where there was no rescue ship out in the mediterranean, just as many boats would leave the libyan shore because the problem isn‘t the pull factor, so, the rescue ships, but the problem is the push factor, to the war in libya, the detention centres in libya, and the torture, and the mistreatment that many migrants are subjected to.

and the nationality, do you know the nationalities of all the people you‘ve picked up? no. yes, we know... we have a basic idea about the nationalities on board but we are not an authority to make statistics about that publicly. ok, and how long can you keep them on board safely for before you‘re going to run out of food and water and things like that? that‘s a good question. 300, over 350 people, we cannot keep them for a long amount of time. it‘s notjust a question of food and fuel, it‘s also a question of how stable the situation on the decks is. the people are crammed together, the people have a lot of... a lot of them have a history of illegal detention in libya, for example. this is also a question of their psychological situation and how far this deteriorates. and the medical situation, of course. at was a spokesperson from one of

the rescue boats. all passengers who were on a flight to cardiff from the greek island of zante have been told to self—isolate, after some on board tested positive for coronavirus. health officials say health officials say seven people from three different parties on tui seven people from three different parties on tui flight 6215 on tuesday have tested positive for covid—19. public health wales is now contacting the rest of the passengers. in the western us city of portland, a white man is reported to have died after a shooting on saturday night — it followed skirmishes between pro—trump and black lives matter protesters. it isn‘t clear if the shooting arose from the clashes in the city centre. local media said the dead man was wearing a hat bearing the insignia of a right—wing group. meanwhile — president trump will visit kenosha in wisconsin on tuesday, the city which has been at the centre of protests since a black man was shot in the back by a police officer last weekend. the white house said mr trump would meet police and see for himself ‘damage from recent riots".

the shooting left jacob blake paralysed from the waist down. earlier our us correspondent peter bowes told us about what‘s happening in portland. it certainly is very volatile and the authorities are still trying to figure out exactly what happened, what we understand at the moment is, as you said, a man was found to have been shot and killed in portland, a white man, believed to have perhaps been wearing a cap that suggested he was involved with a right—wing group. this was, as clashes and fights were occurring between black lives matter supporters and supporters of president trump, and those clashes have been intensifying over the last couple of weeks. they have been for several months now. again, black lives matter supporters in the city centre protesting but the situation does seem to have intensified over the last couple of weeks. for example, last night,

there were hundreds of vehicles, around 600 vehicles carrying supporters of president trump, they were waving the american flag, they moved from the outskirts of portland into the city centre with president trump supporters. the centre of the city is where the black lives matter protests have been carrying on. president trump is going to kenosha on tuesday. the republican convention is about loan order, this whole issue of writing on the streets will be a big issue leading up to the presidential election. wisconsin is a key state as well. yes, electorally it is a key state for president trump and it is becoming increasingly apparent that this issue of law and order on the streets, the police and the relationship between governments around the united states and their police forces, they will be key

issues during the election with president trump travelling home repeatedly, describing his administration and himself as the law and order president. this melds into the broader issues of race relations around america, many peaceful protests and some which have turned violent. this is a key issue moving towards the election. peter bos there. the government‘s eat out to help out scheme to subsidise meals in restaurants comes to an end tomorrow. under the scheme, millions of people have enjoyed discounted dining on mondays, tuesdays and wednesdays during this past month. one of the restaurateurs who has taken part is fash khalili, owner of borge restaurant in stockton—on—tees. it has been a great help. after being closed for couple of months,

this was a fantastic deal. it is like ideal of a lifetime and it has been busier because of it. because of it we managed to employ staff, i have all my staff back now and it is really good, it has helped us tremendously. that is great, just under1.5 tremendously. that is great, just under 1.5 million people in the hospitality sector were off work because of the furloughs scheme, you have taken your stuff back. this scheme is coming to an end, will you be able to keep those people on? yes, i think so. i am very optimistic because of the scheme are a lot busier and we can see grandparents coming back with her grandchildren so we are doing really well at the minutes and i do not see any reason why h should slow down. i think i can see a good future. do think i can see a good future. do think it encouraged people who were a little timid about venturing out to go out into a restaurant like

yours to eat and the financial incentive gave them a bit more courage as it were to go out and socialise? it has definitely been the case. the first thing when we started monday, tuesday, wednesday and the rest of the week was quieter but now we find the rest of the week is busy as well. you can see a lot of regular customers coming back. you sound very upbeat but has this cost you a lot of money in terms of savings you might have had which you have built up over the last few yea rs ? have built up over the last few years? absolutely. obviously we had to user reserves and it is good to know we can have income coming in and revenue going on, it has been really good for us. we are happy about it. just to point out that it was not the chancellor serving food

in that restaurant. time for the weather. hello. with high pressure building in across the uk, august is coming
