i'm ros atkins. welcome to outside source. french president emmanuel macron is set to address the nation, with new measures. a fast spreading third wave of coronavirus infections threatens to over—run hospitals. these are live pictures from paris. we will bring you in live as it happens. we'll have the latest from the trial of derek chauvin, as one of the last people to speak with george floyd before his death has described what he witnessed. i saw people yelling and screaming. i saw derek with his knee on george's neck. we'll also have an update from russia, where the key opposition

figure alexei navalny has announced he is going on hunger strike, in protest over his treatment in prison. let's immediately listen into president macron in france, addressing the country as it battles addressing the country as it battles a third wave of the coronavirus. translation:— a third wave of the coronavirus. translation: and that has been confirmed, so _ translation: and that has been confirmed, so if _ translation: and that has been confirmed, so if i _ translation: and that has been confirmed, so if i am _ translation: and that has been confirmed, so if i am speaking . translation: and that has been. confirmed, so if i am speaking with you, the ability and also determination, we need to carry on. we will try to take stock of the next steps in this fighting is the virus, but i want to say if we stand in solidarity, if we know how to organise ourselves in the next few weeks, then there is hope at the end of the tunnel and we will come out of the tunnel and we will come out of this crisis. and i wanted to speak to you tonight because i want to call upon you all to take action.

in the next few weeks, in april. so what is the situation today? after a very hard locked down in the first wave, the spring of 2020, followed by a lighter lockdown system in the autumn, at the beginning of 2021, we have opted for a response which is aimed at stemming the epidemic but without a full lockdown, based on three prince was always, first of all, safety. we need to protect you. we can't ever compromise when it comes to the health of our french compatriots. everybody needs to be treated in the right conditions. the second principle is that we need to strike a balance, taking into account the consequences of these restrictions on our children, on our economy, on our society as a whole, on the mental health of the young people in particular, be careful not to penalise regions where there is less of this virus. and thirdly,

responsibility is the key word, trusting others, a sense of civic duty for everyone, to have the right behaviour when dealing with the virus, limit our contacts as much as possible, isolate ourselves if we are showing symptoms. this balance, this equilibrium, this responsibility and this need to protect — those are the three principles again which have led us to reinforce the strategy to protect, to prevent, with some businesses being closed and also taking into consideration further options when it comes to lockdown. we have all made huge efforts, huge sacrifices, but the virus is still spreading today, and where a lot of our neighbours have decided to put the whole country and lockdown, in germany, to put some regions and

lockdown, in germany, in italy, collectively, we have made decisions which means we have gained some very precious days of freedom. we have allowed our children to keep learning, we've allowed thousands of workers to keep their heads above water without losing control over the pandemic, so i do think that we made the right choices. we believe in individual responsibility of our french compatriots. now, in the last few weeks, though, things have changed. the situation has changed since the first days of this month. the crisis has six accelerated. on the one hand, we have the vaccination programme deployed and makes us hopeful we can get out of this crisis, but on the other hand there is a new strain of virus across europe. this variant, which was identified initially in the uk at the end of 2020, which brought to

the end of 2020, which brought to the forefront and epidemic within the forefront and epidemic within the epidemic, which has spread further in the springtime, so that no large city is spared. and it is also more dangerous than the situation in the autumn, this virus is more contagious and it is also more dangerous, intensive care units have to take in people who are in good health. they are 50, 60 years old, sometimes younger. 44% of intensive care unit patients today are aged under 55. faced with this double threat, on the 18th of march, we decided to take new measures for about 20 regions, in addition to existing measures. two weeks after these measures were implemented, the figures are clear the strategy is bearing fruit. but clearly, those

efforts are still too limited when the epidemic is still spreading and accelerating, and we seem to be subjected to the acceleration process where we are losing control over the spread of the virus. for those reasons, we need to take a different direction over the next few weeks and months. let's not panic. we are still in control of the situation for our hospitals, which is very challenging. a lot of unit are overwhelmed, but it is still under control. we also have to be honest and say that if we don't do any more, the situation is going to improve by itself, which is not the case. that would lead us to a very difficult situation where all of the hospital system would be overwhelmed. we also need to protect life as it is and the life of both patients and the rest of the

population, the future life of our children as well needs to be protected, which means that we all need to make more effort in the next few weeks. first of all, on the part of our health care professionals, we need to increase our intensive care unit capabilities, and i would like to pay tribute tonight on your behalf to these health care professionals and in particular the critical care and intensive care unit staff, both in the public and private sector, who work hand—in—hand, not only to treat covid patients in hospitals but also turn operating theatres into covid—i9 boards, and so treating cancer patients and patients living with serious diseases to ensure treatment for all these patients who deserve treatment equally. last year, in march, we were applauding

these health care professionals, but let's not forget that they have been fighting for a whole year, relentlessly. in order to increase the number of patients that can come into our intensive care unit and can be admitted, in the next few days, we will have more resources. we already have 7000 intensive care beds, and i would like to think the medical students, the retired carriers, the armed forces, all of those professionals who have been mobilised and will be involved even more in the next few days to bring our capabilities to a higher number, 10,000 beds, and also with new units being opened in certain hospitals. secondly, another effort i am asking you to make. in the 19th department, the highest hit by this pandemic, there are measures, rules which will

now be spread to the whole of the french directory for four weeks. if we look at the overseas territories where the virus is not prevalent, and we know that a lot of people of made huge efforts to slow down the virus there, if we have decided to extend these measures to the whole of metropolitan france, it is that no metropolitan region is spared. everywhere this virus is spreading faster and faster, and we see patients coming into hospitals rising, so we all need to make sure, without necessarily staying at home, to limit our contacts anytime we spend with other people, very practically speaking it means a curfew at 7pm will be maintained everywhere, that working from home will also be the most efficient measure, as it has been working from home will be systematically

required, and i would like to call upon employers to ensure this as much as possible, all retails will be closed, based on the list that has been defied for the 19th department already. citizens that would like to move to different regions, for example to go into lockdown elsewhere, can do so from the weekend. french citizens overseas or abroad will also be able to come back to france whenever they want to, and we will do our utmost to facilitate the movements of our border workers as much as possible. now, we did not think we needed certificates like we had used last year, controls and sanctions will be stricter. we will limit public

outdoor gatherings. we will also be stricter when it comes to limiting the consumption of alcohol, but we have decided to trust our citizens. we believe they are responsible and we want to give them some freedoms, so this certificate will only be necessary in daytime for trips that exceed ten km. during this time, which is already marked by a number of religious festivals, i know that i also can rely on all of you to avoid private gatherings, celebrations that involve family, friends, acquaintances, and i insist on this, because it is those parties, those events, that contamination happens the most. so we all need to make this effort to protect ourselves and others. when it comes to schools, and that's the

third measure that i would like to share with you, we all need to be aware of our duties vis—a—vis our younger generations. we can be proud to have been one of the first countries to reopen our schools in the spring of 2020, and they have remained open since september 2020, which is very rare, very unusual. we have done this in contrast with other countries, but we have done this because we believe that it is essential to invest in young children and young people through education. young people, children need to learn. they need to be together, and no one can tell what the long consequences would be if schools remained close for a long period of time. that would probably compound social inequalities. the

virus does circulate in schools, of course, but not more than elsewhere, and going to school is non—negotiable. which is why we need to take responsibility for this stub yes, we do need to slow down the spread of the virus, so what we are going to do is to close down nurseries, primary schools and secondary schools for three weeks. we need to protect learning, though, which is why the school calendar will be readjusted, so that our young children are never alone when they are learning. very concretely, from next week, classes will be followed from home, except for children of health care professionals and a few other essential professions who can still go to school, like last year, as well as children living with a

disability. the following two weeks, from the 12th of april, in other words, the whole of france, regardless of the current holiday arrangements, will follow the same dates and school will resume for everybody on the 26th of april. for primary schools, for secondary schools. on the 3rd of may, primary and secular schools can go back into school, so the 3rd of may, with social distancing measures and fewer pupils. i know what i'm asking of both parents and children, but is the best possible solution for us to slow down the virus whilst protecting our children's education and our children's future. students can still go to university once a

week for one day a week, as they are doing now. tonight, iwould like week for one day a week, as they are doing now. tonight, i would like to thank all of our teachers on your behalf, and pay tribute to the teaching staff and all the staff involved in school life, those who welcome pupils, students and specialist centres for children with disabilities, because france kept its schools open for 42 weeks, sometimes three times as many as our neighbouring countries. it is because this is very important. and of course, the economic support will be available to parents who have to look after the children and cannot go to work. they will be furloughed. and for the employees, professionals, businesses, freelancers, all of the current support measures will be extended. i know how much i am asking and how

challenging this will be. i take full measure of what it means for our country, for your lives, but you know that we have also delayed those decisions as much as possible and waited until these decisions were absolutely essential. which is now. but i also like to share with you my hope that we can soon come out of this crisis. two and half million people have received their first injection, 3 million people have received two injections, and the vaccine is efficacious. after two weeks, following the first injection and the first of the best evidence of this, it is in the figures. you can see it on the graph on screen, and when it comes to the death rates

of our fellow citizens over 80 years of our fellow citizens over 80 years of age, the death rate has already gone down dramatically. the best evidence for this is when we look at the care home residents. 90% of them have been vaccinated and therefore been allowed or able to resume a normal life. the main challenge todayis normal life. the main challenge today is therefore increase our efforts, mobilise everyone, the government but also all of us, and again all of our health care professionals, with a clear strategy first of all to increase the number of doses available by accelerating our purchasing process, but more important, about producing this inference and europe. we're doing our utmost in order to achieve this. there have been delays, things that we have rectified, but in the next few weeks, we will increase the number of doses that we are receiving and gradually become the first continent in the world, in

terms of vaccine production. this is good for our independence, it means that if we need additional doses, we no longer depend on anyone else, and it is also very good should we need to produce new vaccines in the autumn, in the winter. we will have that capability. secondly, we need to vaccinate those who need it most as early as possible. the most elderly, the most fragile, people with high risk of getting seriously ill with the disease, the highest risks. this is how we will be able to be more efficient and to help hospitals cope with the pandemic, so we will mobilise all possible resources to vaccinate seven days a week, including saturdays and sundays. in terms of pfizer and moderna... we sundays. in terms of pfizer and moderna- - -_

have not close schools until now... schools were to remain open. he got stiffer that because there were people in general were saying, no, you've got to close schools down, you've got to close schools down, you need a much tougher shutdown programme, but now he is... a little bit here, he said, we are going to shut schools. bit here, he said, we are going to shut schools-— shut schools. and in terms of the deadhnes shut schools. and in terms of the deadlines on _ shut schools. and in terms of the deadlines on this, _ shut schools. and in terms of the deadlines on this, i _ shut schools. and in terms of the deadlines on this, i noted - shut schools. and in terms of the deadlines on this, i noted he - shut schools. and in terms of the | deadlines on this, i noted he kept reiterating that these measures will and in early may. clearly he is aware there is a clinical calculation here and that selling anything beyond that to the french people might be difficult. —— a political calculation. this people might be difficult. -- a political calculation.— people might be difficult. -- a political calculation. this has been the way with _ political calculation. this has been the way with all— political calculation. this has been the way with all leaders. - political calculation. this has been the way with all leaders. you - political calculation. this has been the way with all leaders. you havej the way with all leaders. you have got to keep a certain perspective open for people, and very much, as you say, the language here was about the month ahead. he kept saying it, we are entering a tough month, i ask for a supplement or effort for the month of april. clearly indicating that at the end of april, into may,

the picture will begin to brighten, and he actually used the words "light at the end of the tunnel". clearly he has hope of and legitimate hope, in the sense that x nations are clearly going to be the —— vaccinations are burned up the answer. and if the pace can be stepped up, around the period of may, june, the vaccination programme will take overfrom the may, june, the vaccination programme will take over from the propagation of the virus. of course it is still a hope, but it is a reasonable one, and people will take him at his word, because the science suggested it is something we can legitimately have... ., ., r' it is something we can legitimately have... . ., _, it is something we can legitimately have... . ., ., it is something we can legitimately have... . ., , have... can i ask you a broader question _ have... can i ask you a broader question about _ have... can i ask you a broader question about the _ have... can i ask you a broader question about the president? | have... can i ask you a broader- question about the president? some are suggesting this is increasingly are suggesting this is increasingly a test of his style of leadership, particularly with the french election coming into view? it certainly is true that i think there is a political angle to this now

that maybe there was not before, partly, as i was saying, because he stuck in his reputation back in january of this idea of not shutting down schools and having a kind of light confinement, it kind of third way, and some are saying, that did not work. you are now doing what we were urging you to do back then, which is have a proper lockdown, and the other thing which i think mix very political now is the fact that there are comparisons to be made that are very clear and very transient, with big neighbour to our north west, the uk, and people are not blind to the fact that things are looking much quicker there and that there are more than green shoots of spring appearing, a lot of whatever it was yesterday in london, this is communicated to people here and they are aware of it. and macron

is aware of things do not look well in france at the moment for some other points, things have looked well, favourable, compared to the british experience, the right now, the uk is well ahead on the vaccination programme, and the newer we get to elections, these comparisons get more embarrassing if they are still just favourable to france. they are still 'ust favourable to france. ., ~ , ., , . france. hugh, thank you very much indeed. france. hugh, thank you very much indeed- -- — france. hugh, thank you very much indeed. -- this _ france. hugh, thank you very much indeed. -- this favourable. - just before the end of this half—hour, let's turn to the us. it's day 3 of the trial of derek chauvin. he's the former police officer charged with the murder of george floyd in may last year. the court has been hearing further from prosecution witnesses. let's hearfrom from prosecution witnesses. let's hear from gary o'donoghue. from prosecution witnesses. let's hearfrom gary o'donoghue. quickly sum up what we have heard on day three, please. we sum up what we have heard on day three. please-— sum up what we have heard on day three, please. sum up what we have heard on day three, lease. ~ . ., ., three, please. we have heard some of those by standards, _ three, please. we have heard some of those by standards, -- _ three, please. we have heard some of those by standards, -- by— three, please. we have heard some of those by standards, -- by standards, l those by standards, —— by standards, in particular one man who worked in the store george floyd used a $20

counterfeit bill for sunday prosecution interestingly kind of drawing out from that shop worker the fact that he believes that george floyd was a bit high, and as you know that is part of the defence case, that there was drugs in his system, but the prosecution appearing to preempt that but also indicating that he was friendly, shop worker says he was friendly, he was not threatening in any way, and that there was not any sense of confrontation like that. we then heard from another witness who had pulled up in his car and seen some of the events and filmed some of the events from across the street, before driving off later on, so all part of this sort of upwards of a dozen or more individuals who were actually there or thereabouts during that police encounter with george floyd, in which he ended up dead.

for the moment, gary, thank you very much indeed. we will return to the trial of derek chauvin in the second half of outside source. hello there. it's been another warm spring day for much of england and wales. despite for much of england and wales. the saharan dust i skies despite the saharan dust in our skies and much more clout around, which meant the skies will milky rather than blue for many areas. but in north norfolk, it reached 20 degrees while he was 6 degrees in north scotland. a lot of cloud across many parts of scotland, bringing with it some rain and drizzle. it has also been affecting northern ireland. the satellite picture from earlier, the cloud that gave us murky skies in the south. to the north of that, we have got some colder air. the north of that, we have got some colderair. certainly the north of that, we have got some colder air. certainly saw that in northern scotland. that colder air will move southwards in the next day

or two. there is not a great deal of rain and drizzle left overnight across scotland and northern ireland. double peter dowd into the band of cloud move southwards, down into england and was later on. —— that will peter down. won't see much to see temperatures close to freezing in the north. elsewhere it will be milder. but tomorrow could start off a bit grey across parts of northern england, wales and into the midlands. that cloud will tend to lift and break up and we'll see sunshine more widely. a dry day as woelfel said the winds will be significant, because we no longer have that... that will bring her down from the colder north sea, so be signet again the colder —— it will be significant colder. in the southwest, 18 or 19. it is dry, though, because high—pressure is extending down. it is bringing with it that chillier air, mind you, so by the time we get to good friday, it is still dry, still quiet, still

breezy, still sunshine at times, best of which out towards the west. temperatures here could make 13 degrees, 1a degrees at best, nine or ten around those north seacoast. that is below average for the time of year and quite a change from what we have seen, and it stays cold right the way through the easter weekend. in fact it is going to get colder still by the time to get to easter monday. this weather front starts to bring some rain down from the north during sunday, but after that, the air gets went to read. we can trace the winds all the way from the arctic, much stronger winds on monday, and even threatening with some snow.

it's almost two months since the military coup in myanmar. and we're getting to see what the world does when a democratically elected government is overthrown — and the military starts doing this. more than 500 protestors have been killed. this is the un's description of what is happening. these are potentially crimes against humanity. possible crimes against humanity. but let's look at what's been said and done while this has played out — and look what difference those interventions have made. on the first of february, the military seized power. the government was deposed, leaders were arrested. and the same day, white house put out a statement saying: the international community did not speak with one voice. the burmese military did not relinquish power. we did though hear this from myanmar�*s most important ally.

translation: we area we are a friendly neighbour of myanmar, we hope they will handle the differences under the constitution and within the legal framework to maintain political and social stability. as china knows, handling differences under the burmese constitution is unlikely when one side of those differences is a military force that's just seized power. but china's talk of friendship and stability were no doubt noted by the military and by the protestors. and in myanmar a campaign of civil disobedience began. pots and pans were banged. red ribbons were worn. street protests began. huge ones. meanwhile the democratically elected leader aung san suu kyi was charged a number of times — including for the possession of illegally imported walkie talkies. also — the internet was restricted. whatsapp and facebook were blocked. curfews were introduced. and the military went on tv to promise elections. anti—democratic actions justified in the name of democracy.

new zealand was first to act. it suspended all high level contact with myanmar and imposed a travel ban. on ten february — the us imposed sanctions — freezing the assets of myanmar�*s acting president and other military officers. and president biden said: "the military must relinquish the power it seized and demonstrate respect for the will of the people the military didn't relinquish power. two days later, the un human rights council demanded the release of aung san suu kyi. that didn't happen either. three further days later — this happened. military operation appeared to be underway. an eight hour internet blackout arrived. as did tanks onto the streets. the un again responded. it's special envoy to myanmar told the bbc: it seems that for the moment, the only person who has access to the

army, to talk bilaterally, therefore it is the special envoy wasn't able to travel to meet the military. and there was this. china's ambassador to myanmar told the global times: not wanting to see it and acting to stop it though remain two quite different things. and china's influence is enomous — it's one of myanmar�*s biggest trading partner, it also invests millions in myanmar. and as february continued, still the protests grew. day — after — day. as they did, the uk and canada imposed sanctions on myanmar�*s generals. japan said that democracy must be restored. democracy wasn't restored. and on the 19 february the first protestor was killed. m—yah tway tway kine was shot in the head — two days before her 20th birthday. hundreds attended her funeral in response, the eu demanded that myanmar�*s security forces refrain from violence. they didn't refrain from violence.

and frustration with the international response started to build. these pictures are outside un offices and the us embassy in myanmar. some of these signs read: "hello un, how many dead bodies are needed to take action against the military coup' more sanctions followed — from the us, the eu — and the uk the uk sanctioning individuals for serious human rights violations that took place during the coup. the military must step aside civilian leaders must be released and the democratic wishes of the people of myanmar must be respected. by the end of the february, the crackdown escalated. hundreds were arrested, and police again fired on protesters. seven died. the un special representative tom andrews tweeted: he offered suggestions too.

in early march, the main regional body asean met the burmese military. afterwards it called on "all parties" in the country to "refrain from instigating further violence". it's worth reiterating when we consider 'all parties' — that one party is a heavily armed military force shooting at unarmed protestors, the other is a civil disobedience movement using tactics like wearing red ribbons and banging pots and pans and blocking streets. in addition to that statement, indonesia, malaysia, philippines and singapore also called for aung san suu kyi's release. to use lethal force against civilian and armed demonstrators i think —— unarmed demonstrators is unacceptable. and at the time, my colleague jonathan head summed up the dilemma these countries are facing. for years, the countries have said that quiet diplomacy were the best ways of drawing them out of their habits of isolation and repression.

but events now are moving fast. the massive opposition in the coup wrists triggering a terrible bloodbath. as march continued, so the military continued to kill its own people. 38 died on three march. 18 died on seven march. this is the un's tom andrews again. what is going on in the streets of myanmar right now. you see exactly why it is so compelling for countries to take action. we simply cannot afford in any sense of the word to sit back and turn our backs on the people of myanmar. we heard from china again too. translation: on the basis of respect in the will of its people. china is ready to communicate with relevant parties and play a constructive role in easing the situation. of course, once you respect a country's sovereignty while a coup and crackdown is under way — by definition, you don't do very much. and by mid march, the un human rights council had passed a resolution making this demand.

all individuals arbitrarily detained. they should have prompt access to legal representation or medical support and spacious criminal charges should be dropped. many individuals remain in custody. next we move on to the last week of march. the us and uk imposed sanctions on two conglomerates owned by the military. that matters because the military controls a significant proportion of the economy. but to what end? what impact do all these sanctions have? analyst richard horsey from the international crisis group says: meanwhile on 27 march. two things happened. it was myanmar annual armed forces day. russia's deputy defence minister was there. plenty of other countries sent representatives too. china, pakistan, india, bangladesh, laos, these are eight places that were there and people are very

disappointed and people are already talking about arm deals done by indian governments, pakistan governments, people are very vocal. also on the 27 march, the military attacked again. it used live ammunition again, it killed civilians again. 114 people died, seven of them children. international military leaders put out a joint statement condemning the violence, and joe biden said this. it's terrible. it's absolute outrages and based on the reporting of gun, a lot of people have been killed and it's totally unnecessary. and once more we heard from the un's tom andrews. it seems particularly, if you're in myanmar, words of condemnation beginning to ring hollow. i think with the people of myanmar would like and desperately need is for the international community to notjust international community to not just condemn, international community to notjust condemn, but also to take action and to hold this brutal military fully accountable. there are many things

that can be done that have not been done. what tom andrews wants is a un security council resolution — and more widespread co—ordinated sanctions. it's not clear if either will happen. what is clear is the human cost of what's happening in myanmar. over 500 people have now died during the protests. on 29th march, a mother wept at the funeral of her 13—year—old boy. on march 27, this 18—year—old died. he was a volunteer in intensive care during the pandemic. earlier in the month — a i9—year—old protestor known as angel was shot dead. she was wearing a t—shirt saying 'everything is going to be ok'. but for everything to be ok in myanmar, all the evidence of the last two months suggests the world is going to need to stop the actions of the burmese military. all the evidence of the last two months is that the watching world will need to do more than it's done for that to happen. and while we wait to see if the world's most powerful countries are willing or able to do that, it seems certain that people will keep being killed.

hello there. it's been another warm spring day for many parts of england and wales today, despite the saharan dust in our skies and much more cloud around, which meant the skies were milky rather than blue for many areas. but in north norfolk, temperatures reached 2a degrees earlier in the afternoon. at the same time, it was only six degrees in northern scotland. now, whilst it's turned a lot drier and long last in the highlands, we've had a lot of cloud across many other parts of scotland, bringing with it this rain and drizzle. it's also been affecting northern ireland. that's the satellite picture from earlier. that's the cloud that gave us the milky skies in the south. that's the cloud that's been bringing the rain and drizzle in scotland and northern ireland. to the north of that, though, we've got some colder air. certainly saw that in northern scotland. and that colder air will move southwards in the next day or two. there's not a great deal of rain

and drizzle left overnight across scotland and northern ireland. that will peter out and this band of cloud move southwards, down into england and wales later on. clearer skies follow in the colder air in scotland. it won't take much to see temperatures close to freezing in the north. elsewhere, it will be somewhat milder. but tomorrow could start off a bit grey across parts of northern england, wales and into the midlands. that low cloud will tend to lift and break up and we'll see sunshine developing more widely. going to be a dry day as well. the winds are significant because we no longer have that warmer south—westerly wind. instead, it's more of a north wind, and that of course is going to bring in air down from the colder north sea, so it will be significantly colder tomorrow for some eastern parts of england and the midlands. the last of the warmth is there in the south—west at 18 or 19. it's dry, though, because high pressure is extending down across the uk. it's bringing with it that chillier air, mind you, so by the time we get to good friday, it's still quiet, still dry, still breezy,

some sunshine at times, best of which likely to be out towards the west. temperatures here could make 13 degrees, iii degrees at best, certainly nine or ten around those north sea coasts. that's below average for the time of year and quite a change from what we've seen, and it stays cold right the way through the easter weekend. in fact, it's going to get colder still by the time we get to easter monday. we start with high pressure and quiet dry weather, and then this weather front starts to bring some rain down from the north during sunday. but after that, the air gets wintry, certainly. we can trace the winds all the way from the arctic. much stronger winds on monday, and even threatening some snow.

this is bbc news. i'm kasia madera. the headlines at eight. a major report into race relations in the uk is dismissed as divisive and a whitewash. it found no evidence of institutional racism, saying social class and family structure had a bigger impact than race. we don't deny the existence of racism and the reality that it exists and it is there. but we want to really in the report comes out to the fact that particularly in education and in private if any enoughin education and in private if any enough in health, we actually have improved. just because people from ethnic minorities seem to be doing better. there might within their white counterparts, that doesn't mean the system _ counterparts, that doesn't mean the system is _ counterparts, that doesn't mean the system is perfect. it means they've learned _ system is perfect. it means they've learned to — system is perfect. it means they've learned to thrive with an imperfect
