here wednesday and eventually into thursday as well when that milder, slightly milder air — the really mild air is in the south — that slightly milder air arrives, and you can see those temperatures this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. the minneapolis police chief has testified that the white officer on trial for the murder of george floyd violated the department's policy on the use of force. it is not part of our training and it is certainly not part of our ethics and our values. no decision yet on whether britons can take holidays abroad from next month, but borisjohnson confirms pub gardens and hairdressers will re—open. google is spared having to pay billions of dollars of damages to rival oracle after a ruling that it fairly copied code for its android operating system. and we look at how remote learning has changed american education for students,

businesses and parents, of course. hello and welcome to bbc news. the chief of the minneapolis police department took the stand today in the trial of derek chauvin, the white former police officer who is being charged with the murder of george floyd. thejury also heard from the emergency room doctor who treated mr floyd and pronounced him dead. the bbc�*s gary o'donoghue reports from minneapolis. week two of the most significant trial in recent years, one which has reignited america's unresolved history of racial tension. derek chauvin is the latest police officer to stand accused of killing a black man, an event that reverberated around the world.

do you swear or affirm on the penalty of perjury that the testimony you are about to give will be the truth and nothing but the truth? i do. it's rare for a police chief to testify against one of his own, but this one did not mince his words when it came to derek chauvin�*s actions. once mr floyd had stopped resisting, and certainly once he was in distress and trying to verbalise that, that should have stopped. derek chauvin�*s defence argues that george floyd died of drug use and pre—existing health conditions, not the more than nine minutes the defendant spent kneeling on him. but that account suffered a blow when the emergency doctor who treated george floyd in hospital said he believed the most likely cause of the cardiac arrest was asphyxiation. based on the history- that was available to me, i felt that hypoxia was one -

of the more likely possibilities. and hypoxia as an explanation for his cardiac arrest meaning oxygen insufficiency? correct. the beginning of this trial focused heavily on the emotional and often tearful testimony of the bystanders that witnessed george floyd's last moments alive. it now turns to the battle of the experts, and the central question. what was the substantial cause of his death? gary o'donoghue, bbc news, minneapolis. our correspondent larry madowo joins us live from minneapolis. let's start with that extremely damning testimony, and how significant is this that the police chief should give evidence for the prosecution? this chief should give evidence for the prosecution?— prosecution? this was a precedent-setting - prosecution? this was a - precedent-setting testimony prosecution? this was a _ precedent-setting testimony from a precedent—setting testimony from a police chief testifying against his own officer. it rarely happens in

american trials and it might be a thing that could become more common in the future based on what was done here today. but also the fact he essentially underscores that derek show van did not follow department procedure —— chauvin. the show van did not follow department procedure -- chauvin. the testimony also from the — procedure -- chauvin. the testimony also from the doctor— procedure -- chauvin. the testimony also from the doctor contradicting . also from the doctor contradicting what the defendant's case is, and indeed the initial autopsy.- indeed the initial autopsy. that's correct. that _ indeed the initial autopsy. that's correct. that is _ indeed the initial autopsy. that's correct. that is the _ indeed the initial autopsy. that's correct. that is the doctor - indeed the initial autopsy. that's correct. that is the doctor who i correct. that is the doctor who pronounced george floyd dead after he was removed from the scene from the convenience store. after that nine minutes and 29 seconds, he was taken to the independent medical centre, and this is the attending resident at the time he received his body and tried to resuscitate him and decided he was dead and asked

about his opinion, he said it is oxygen deficiency. essentially, asphyxiation, which is exactly contradictory for what the defendant's case is, that george floyd died from a lot of drugs in his system and underlying medical problems under related to the knee on his neck —— unrelated. this problems under related to the knee on his neck -- unrelated.— on his neck -- unrelated. this is da six on his neck -- unrelated. this is day six of _ on his neck -- unrelated. this is day six of a _ on his neck -- unrelated. this is day six of a trial— on his neck -- unrelated. this is day six of a trial that _ on his neck -- unrelated. this is day six of a trial that is - on his neck -- unrelated. this is day six of a trial that is believed | day six of a trial that is believed to have gone on —— to go on for at least a month. do we have indication about weathered derek chauvin himself will take the stand? that is the big question. _ himself will take the stand? that is the big question. i— himself will take the stand? that is the big question. i don't _ himself will take the stand? that is the big question. i don't think - the big question. i don't think they've made a decision yet. i'll they've made a decision yet. i'll the legal experts say it will depend on how damning the testimony is, so it's always an option to keep open. the fear with putting the defendant on the stand is that then he'll get cross—examined and he could get completely demolished by the prosecution. however, the value and

putting him on the stand in this case is he can humanise himself, he can talk to his dedication to his job, what kind of attitude he took to it instead of what has been made up to it instead of what has been made up by to it instead of what has been made up by the media and the scrutiny of this case. �* , , up by the media and the scrutiny of thiscase. �* , , , this case. and is this case still bein: this case. and is this case still being followed _ this case. and is this case still being followed by _ this case. and is this case still being followed by the - this case. and is this case still being followed by the news i this case. and is this case still - being followed by the news channels constantly? everything is being taken live, or has the agenda move on? , , , taken live, or has the agenda move on? ,,, ., on? this is still the most important case in america _ on? this is still the most important case in america right _ on? this is still the most important case in america right now. - on? this is still the most important case in america right now. many i on? this is still the most important case in america right now. many of| case in america right now. many of the national channels are taking it live. there significant interest on social media. if the first trial of the streaming age, and you can see the streaming age, and you can see the amount of interest because it is seen as police accountability and race relations in america and what happens there will have a strong impact for racialjustice all across the united states.— the united states. larry in minneapolis, _ the united states. larry in minneapolis, thank- the united states. larry in minneapolis, thank you i the united states. larry in i minneapolis, thank you very the united states. larry in - minneapolis, thank you very much indeed. borisjohnson has confirmed the next step in england's road map out of coronavirus lockdown

is going ahead. non—essential shops, hairdressers and gyms will be allowed to reopen next monday, and pubs and restaurants will be able to serve customers outdoors. the prime minister said he's hopeful that foreign travel may resume on may 17th, as suggested in the original road map, but no decision has been taken, and he said he doesn't want the virus re—imported to the uk from abroad. he also confirmed that rapid coronavirus tests will be made available to everyone in england twice a week from friday. the tests produce a result within half an hour. the prime minister said a review is exploring whether social distancing could be relaxed in some settings, but he stressed the rules remain in place at the moment. on foreign travel, there was confirmation that a �*traffic light�* system of countries will be introduced whenever going abroad is allowed. our transport correspondent, caroline davis, reports. preparing for international travel takes time. the industry is already gearing up, hoping that they'll

have a summer season. but today the prime minister wasn't making any promises. obviously, we are hopeful that we can get going, from may 17th, we're hopeful. but i do not wish to give hostages to fortune, or to underestimate the difficulties that we're seeing in some of the destination countries people might want to go to. we don't want to see the virus being reimported into this country from abroad. when it does restart, it will use a traffic—light system. so far, we only know some countries on the red list. anyone to england arriving from designated green countries won't need to quarantine, although they will need to take a test when they travel back, and more in the uk. those travelling from amber countries need to take all of these tests and will be required to quarantine at home on arrival for ten days — although if they pay for an extra test on the fifth day and it's negative, they can leave quarantine early.

only uk residents will be allowed in from red countries, and they'll need to pay for quarantine at a hotel, as well as taking these tests. more details are expected later this week. scotland, wales and northern ireland haven't committed to a date for when international travel might restart. whether a country is added to the green list will depend on the vaccines and the prevalence of concerning variants. this was the last time laria and her children saw her parents in san marino in october 2019. they're yet to meet her one—year—old daughter. they've missed a whole chunk of their life that they can't really take back, especially with what's happening in italy and in europe at the moment. it puts the end goal further and further back, and it makes for a stressful situation. this is a new testing centre at luton airport. the company behind it is expanding its capacity at other airports too.

there are worries that the costs of multiple tests could put off travellers and questions about how much notice the industry and passengers will get about which countries will be green. clearly, passengers and consumers and airlines need clarity at some point, and we still don't know at what point we will know where we can travel, which countries will be in the amber, red and green categories. if that comes in the next week or two, that is perfectly understandable. if it's several days before the 17th of may, it makes it a lot harder. the prime minister hasn't said when he'll announce if international travel can go ahead but that he hoped to set out what is reasonable well before my the 17th. well before may the 17th. the industry wants its many questions to be answered and do know that their summer take—off won't be delayed. caroline davies, bbc news. at least 113 people have died after flash floods and landslides hit indonesia on sunday. dozens are still missing. officials have warned that the death

toll could still rise. the bbc�*s asia editor rebecca henschke reports. torrential rains caused dams to overflow and triggered landslides, wreaking havoc and destruction. residents say they had very little time to save themselves. translation: our house is on the mountains. - we had to dismantle the zinc roof. we went out through the back door and pulled ourselves out with a rope. with the power cut in many regions, people are trying to leave and reach temporary shelters. local officials say there's an urgent need for food, blankets and medicine to provide for people who lost everything. for people who've lost everything. translation: everything is gone. we only managed to salvage whatever we could save. compared to the possessions, our lives are more important. if we saved the items, we might die. it's better to save ourselves. the remoteness of some of the areas affected and continuing heavy rain mean rescue workers are struggling

the kingdom ofjordan is often seen as a stabilizing force in an otherwise unsteady region. the country has been a us ally for years. it helped in the fight against islamic state, and it's been a safe—haven for refugees fleeing war in syria. but a recent rift within jordan's royal family has revealed some worrying under—currents beneath the calm surface. this is prince hamzah. he's the half—brother of the country's current ruler king abdullah. the government says hamzah was involved in a plot to destabilise the country. he's dismissed the allegations. over the weekend, prince hamzah leaked videos to the bbc saying he's under house arrest. and now, he has released an audio message on twitter saying he will defy orders to stay silent. translation:

in the latest turn of this saga, the royal court now says prince hamzah has signed a letter, affirming his loyalty to the constitution and declaring support for the king. our chief international correspondent, lyse doucet, explains why instability injordan could have a big impact across the entire middle east region. jordan has long been regarded as a country which stood apart in countries surrounded by on one side by the instability of iraq, the punishing war in syria, saudi arabia, the uncertainty of the west bank. then there wasjordan, held together by the kingdom ofjordan, and the king seemingly able to weather all the storms because whenever there was discontent on the streets, and there has been over the decades, he was able to change his

government ministers. but what do you do when the problem is within the family? you can't change her family. so, this has led to this unprecedented royal rift. unprecedented public criticism by a senior member of the royal family, 41—year—old prince hamzah, king abdullah's half and former conference. a huge crisis but in the last few hours, it seems as they been able to resolve the family crisis at least and put out a public show of unity, but this crisis isn't over because the issues raised by prince hamzah have not been dealt with yet. prince hamzah have not been dealt with et. ,, ., prince hamzah have not been dealt with et. ,, ._ , prince hamzah have not been dealt with et. ,, , ., �* �* with yet. stay with us here on bbc news. with yet. stay with us here on bbc news- google _ with yet. stay with us here on bbc news. google is _ with yet. stay with us here on bbc news. google is spared _ with yet. stay with us here on bbc news. google is spared having - with yet. stay with us here on bbc news. google is spared having to | with yet. stay with us here on bbc i news. google is spared having to pay billions of dollars of damage to the oracle after a ruling that it copy code for its android system.

..years of hatred and rage as theyjump upon the statue... this funeral became a massive demonstration of black power, the power to influence. today is about the promise of a bright future, a day when we hope a line can be drawn under a bloody past. i think that picasso's i works were beautiful, they were intelligent and it's a sad loss to everybody who loves art. .

this is bbc news. the latest headlines... the minneapolis police chief has testified that the white officer on trial for the murder of george floyd violated the department's policy on the use of force. borisjohnson has confirmed that the next step in england's road map out of lockdown can go ahead, with shops, hairdressers and outdoor hospitality opening next monday. no decision has been made about when foreign travel can resume, but when it is allowed, a �*traffic light�* system of countries will be introduced. the us supreme court has handed google a major win in a long—running copyright battle with oracle, ruling that the use of the java programming language for the android mobile operating system was "fair use." the 6—2 ruling had been closely watched as a key test of copyright in the digital era,

and allows google to avoid paying out billions to its technology rival. for more more on the ruling, bbc correspondent nada tawfik joins us from new york. so, the traditional copyright law doesn�*t apply to code? i so, the traditional copyright law doesn't apply to code?— doesn't apply to code? i think that's the _ doesn't apply to code? i think that's the interesting - doesn't apply to code? i think that's the interesting debate. | doesn't apply to code? i think i that's the interesting debate. it that�*s the interesting debate. it actually really wasn�*t covered by the supreme court here. what they said was in this decision, they assumed oracle did have copyright on the code, but google�*s use of that code could be considered fair use. therefore, they wouldn�*t have to pay a licensing fee to oracle. it�*s interesting because stephen breyer, who wrote for the majority, that sits on the court that side with google, said he thought this was for the greater good, that oracle ruled in favour, they would be giving computer coding a lock which only oracle would have the key to.

instead, he said it was important looking forward, and we saw many other software programmers running into the court, arguing for the same thing that open source nature of coding, to have this relatively available. so, oracle, of course, was not happy with this ruling. they criticised the ruling, and when you look at the dissenting opinion, it did raise some issues. clarence thomas, and his opinion, wrote that he didn�*t think fair use should be used this way, that you are essentially eviscerating the copyright and he said it was problematic that the court didn�*t deal directly with computer coding and copyright issues directly had on and copyright issues directly had on and referred to this very review argument. and referred to this very review argument-— and referred to this very review ara ument. , ., ,., ., argument. this would give google billions of dollars, _ argument. this would give google billions of dollars, not _ argument. this would give google billions of dollars, not just - argument. this would give google billions of dollars, notjust smalli billions of dollars, notjust small business pay, 11,000 lines. that's ri . ht, business pay, 11,000 lines. that's right. 11,000 _ business pay, 11,000 lines. that's right, 11,000 lines _ business pay, 11,000 lines. that's right, 11,000 lines of _ business pay, 11,000 lines. that's right, 11,000 lines of code - business pay, 11,000 lines. that's right, 11,000 lines of code that. business pay, 11,000 lines. that's. right, 11,000 lines of code that was part of a larger piece of oracle�*s api that is in question here. the supreme court argued that it was

really a small portion of the code that google would need to work with other developers rather than taking the entire piece altogether. but as you say, this would have been a massive fine. android works for about 70% of the world�*s smartphones, so this would notjust affect google, but others down the lines. people are saying this might result in more court cases in front of the court talking about copyright because you have others are so concerned about the software programming in the future and what the government will decide going forward. ~ ., , forward. with the latest in new york, forward. with the latest in new york. thank _ forward. with the latest in new york, thank you _ forward. with the latest in new york, thank you very _ forward. with the latest in new york, thank you very much - forward. with the latest in new. york, thank you very much indeed. israel�*s prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has appeared in court, as a corruption trial against him resumed. the veteran political leader is facing charges of fraud, breach of trust and bribery. he denies all of them. and as he appeared in court, mr netanyahu�*s likud party was meeting israel�*s president and asking that he give their party a mandate to form a new government after last month�*s election.

our correspondent yolande knell has this report. it has been called israel�*s split screen moment. at thisjerusalem court, benjamin netanyahu beginning his corruption trial in earnest. the prosecution accuses him of accepting expensive gifts from businessmen and offering favours for more positive news coverage, charges he denies. meanwhile, across the city at the president�*s office, talks start on who should be given the first chance to form a new coalition government after last month�*s election, israel�*s fourth in two years. he�*s known as the great survivor, but this is another day when benjamin netanyahu�*s personal and politicalfate lies in the balance. simply put, israel is divided into two camps, those for and against the prime minister. and you�*ve got small groups of both here outside the court. anti—netanyahu protesters accuse mr netanyahu of putting his personal

interests before those of the country. they want him to resign. he is doing everything that he can, and the last year has proved that he is doing everything that he can to escape justice, actually. and he will take 9 million citizens, israeli citizens, down the drain, only to escape justice. but his supporters claim legal proceedings are a political witchhunt. now they're trying to do a governmental coup, and we are against it. because benjamin netanyahu is the one and only leader. he has no faults, maybe, he's not perfect, but he didn't do anything, he didn't do any of what they're saying. leaving court, mr netanyahu, the defendant, is quick to return to business as prime minister. but it won�*t be easy to keep public attention where he wants it. his trial could last for years and looks set to decide his legacy. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. the russian president vladimir putin

has signed a law that will allow him to serve for two more terms. the legislation could potentially see him stay in office until 2036. it limits future presidents to two terms but discounts the time that president putin has already served. the change was backed in a public vote last summer. remote learning has been difficult for many parents and students, but it�*s also unleashed a boom in the education sector. the bbc�*s samira hussain is the exhausted parent of one remote learner and she sent us this report from new york. for millions of students across the country, learning no longer happens in the classroom, but on a computer. students as young as five years old can spend hours online learning. welcome to kindergarten in the pandemic. bye! and it�*s notjust at my house, this has been tough on students, teachers and parents.

but one group has seen a real benefit. newsela is an online educational resource, a sort of of netflix for learning. it takes content from a variety of sources, like newspapers and speeches, and rewrites them for different grade levels. and because it�*s online it can be updated in a way traditional schoolbooks can�*t. one thing that many people don�*t realise is how little textbooks are used in the classroom any more. matthew gross is the founder of newsela, and a former educator himself. his company recently raised an additional $100 million infunding. great technologies are assistive to the teacher. they�*re dutiful assistants doing their bidding and empower the social classroom with a teacher at the centre of it. that�*s what great education looks like. there is already a ton of educational software out there, which is great. but speaking from my own experience, my daughter and herfriends — who are all five —

are already on the computer for hours a day. they don�*t enjoy learning on the computer and miss being in a classroom. so the remote learning experiment has kind of worked for this particular period in time, but it�*s hard to see this as something more permanent. but investors still see an opportunity in educational technology. investment in the sector has been steadily increasing over the last five years, but morgan battle says the covid—19 pandemic has put that into overdrive. three years ago, if you had a really good idea, the likelihood is you that would not break into the market. with covid—19 now, obviously, as we have talked about, has changed that, so really good ideas are getting funded by smart investors so, yeah, it's a different ball game now than it ever was. investors see a new sector expanding, even if many users can�*t wait to get back to the real—world classroom. samira hussain, bbc news, new york.

a lot of people have been there. bbc .co .uk. hello there. the cold northerly winds have arrived today. they�*re going to be with us only for a day or so. but arctic air has now swept down across the whole of the country, which is why it feels a lot colder than it did yesterday. we had a band of cloud earlier on. that swept through, and you can see all the shower clouds that have been streaming in and that cold wind. it�*s been northern scotland bearing the brunt of the snow today. for many parts of england and wales, it�*s been dry, and there�*s been some welcome sunshine around as well, but temperatures a lot lower than yesterday. a very dramatic scene here in belfast in northern ireland. there has been some wintry showers here, and those are continuing through this evening and overnight. more snow to come in northern parts of scotland. some of those wintry showers head into west wales, the southwest of england, so some icy conditions where we have those showers. not far away from the east coast of england, but for many in land

areas, it is going to be dry and clear and colder more widely than it was last night. so, widespread frosts, —1 to —3. tomorrow is another cold day, more snow showers in the same sort of areas, so primarily the northern parts of scotland, but some for northern ireland heading into wales. gradually through the day, the cloud will build up in land, and almost anywhere in the afternoon could catch a passing snow shower. they are driven on by those strong northerly winds. strongest in northern scotland again, gusts of 50—60 mph. temperatures on tuesday, similar to what we had this afternoon, so 3—9 celsius if you�*re lucky, but given the strong and gusty winds, especially near those snow showers, it will feel a lot colder and it�*s more typical, really, of the middle of winter. by the time we get to wednesday, those colder, stronger winds are out of the way. still another cold start, mind you. many places, though, will have a dry day. we�*ve still got some snow showers left over in the northeast of scotland, but most of them are now by this

stage into the north sea, and instead, we look to the west to see advancing cloud coming in, maybe a little light rain or drizzle into northern ireland and parts of wales. many places will be dry, but as it clouds over after that cold start, it�*s still a cold day on wednesday, but not as windy by any means. the colder strong winds are heading away from the uk, and we are starting to see our weather coming in from the atlantic, so it�*s less cold air. we are left with low pressure to the north of the uk and some brisker winds probably on thursday and some rain, but still dry in the south.
