of finance firm greensill capital. prosecutors focus on george floyd's cause of death, as the trial of former police officer derek chauvin accused of murder, enters its third week. the former cabinet minister and liberal democrat peer, baroness williams of crosby, has died — aged 90. and the winner of the rising star award _ and the winner of the rising star award ism — and the winner of the rising star award is... bukky bakray. and — after her first major red carpet moment we hear from bukky bakray — one of the big winners from last night's baftas. good evening and welcome to bbc news. many of us have been enjoying the opportunity of getting out and doing a bit of shopping,
8:02 pm
going to pubs and cafes as major parts of the economy have opened up today in england and wales. the government though has urged us all to act responsibly with this latest easing of lockdown. in england, restaurants and pubs can now serve people outdoors. all shops, hairdressers, beauty salons, gyms and outdoor attractions like zoos and theme parks can also reopen. wales has also reopened shops — remaining pupils have gone back to school and restrictions on travelling across the border have eased. in scotland all students, except those who are shielding, have now returned to the classroom, as have pupils in northern ireland. the "stay—at—home" order there is also ending and being replaced with guidance to "stay local". our business editor, simonjack, reports. opening up after five long months of lockdown. newquay zoo welcomed back customers on a day the government and business
8:03 pm
hopes to revive the animal spirits of an economy that has been slumbering. what does this feel like? like we've just got out of prison! laughter amazing. we've got more freedom to see people now, and we don'tjust feel— so sort of cooped up, i really, so it's definitely a big weight off the shoulders. the zoo was on the edge of bankruptcy last year and had to close its sister site in devon, so today's visitors were very welcome. it's hugely important for us. all the way through, we've had people in, we've had the animals to look after and we had no income to do that, so, having our guests back in today and having them here enjoying the zoo as well as bringing an income in, so that we can move forward again as a business, is fantastic. great news, too, for a very hard—hit hospitality sector. a cool outdoor terrace got a very warm welcome from customers. cheers! first draft beer for six months! it's just going to be lovely to get
8:04 pm
some proper fresh air and a bit of freedom. owner sally pickles said that it is an important first step on the road to recovery. the customers want us to be open, the staff are ready to come back, i think it is just something that we have to start, and just see what happens. we just hope that this is us open and in may, we will be fully open, and we will not be looking back. today's clearly a massive moment for the national mood and for the economy but remember 60% of hospitality venues have no outside space, and the ones that do may be running at a loss, so, what's next is key. the government says it doesn't want covid certificates or passports in everyday life, but hospitality chiefs worry they will be offered two different ways of losing money — half—empty venues without certificates, or full ones with them, but the additional cost and staff to check them.
8:05 pm
too cold for an outdoor swim, indoor pools and gyms can now reopen. different sectors will see different demand. it has been a cautious return at this holiday park. 600 people arriving out of a normal 3,000 at this time of year. but numbers are expected to grow. what we have seen this year throughout the last few months has been a huge amount of confidence from guests in the bookings and inquiries stage, where, either they have had their vaccine, they have got their vaccine appointment through, and almost the first or second phone call they are making is to us to preserve their holiday. there is a lot of confidence out there. these are small steps back to normality, but an important test for consumers and businesses. the government will hope this will see this wall of money rolling in from those who have it, and the new chance to earn it, for those who haven't. simonjack, bbc news, newquay. some shoppers were so keen to get to the stores they were queuing from dawn. figures showed that by 10 this morning the number of people going shopping was up by more than 200% compared to last week. our business correspondent emma simpson has been talking to some
8:06 pm
of those keen to get some retail therapy again. it has been a long time coming. high streets emerging from hibernation. customers waiting to get inside. some, more patiently than others. whatever the city, one store drawing the biggest crowds. i do online shop but i prefer to be out and about and getting in there. yeah. have you missed it? absolutely. have you? yes. just to be out seeing different people again. shoe fittings are back on, even outside. your feet are feeling a bit tight in those shoes now. yes. changing rooms is allowed again and fashion retailers have a new season for sale. i'm so relieved we have got
8:07 pm
here, we've been closed for eight months out of the last 13 and how can you run a business like that? luckily we have an online presence, so that has been really helpful. i don't know what would have happened if we hadn't been online. there is an awful lot of pent—up demand, and households have squirrelled away more than £100 billion in savings over the last year. the hope is there will fuel a summer spending spree, but with a massive shift in online shopping, will stores still see the same number of people coming through the doors, as they did before the pandemic? some purchases are just not the same online. yes, looking for a bit of jewellery for a birthday to mark that day and remember it for ever. today is a big moment for retail, also. the boss of this chain
8:08 pm
told me she is optimistic but shops will have to work harder to keep customers coming. there was a definite bounce that we will see customers coming out and spending with us, and the long—term challenge will be to keep the footfall coming and the redevelopment of high streets is going to be critical going forward. some chains didn't make it. this chain is in its final days. by lunchtime this city centre was heaving. not everyone liked it. do you think it is too busy? yes, i do. it is not for us. here is something we have all missed. i was getting quite desperate by this point. got any spaces? we are booked up until. the middle of may, now. we want to get back to normal, back on our feet and crack on, and get everybody�*s had done, get everybody out. it is not business as usual today, but it is one big step closer to normality. emma simpson, bbc news, nottingham.
8:09 pm
let's take a look at the latest government figures. there were 3,568 new coronavirus infections recorded in the latest 24—hour period — on average 2,744 new cases were reported per day in the last week. there are currently 2,862 patients in hospital with covid—i9. 13 deaths were reported in the latest 2a hour period — that's people who died within 28 days of a positive covid—i9 test. on average in the past week, 3a deaths were announced every day. a total of 127,100 people have now died from coronavirus in the uk. as for vaccinations, more than 69,000 people have had their first dose of a covid vaccine in the latest 24—hour period, bringing the total to almost 32.2 million. more than 189,000 people
8:10 pm
had their second jab — meaning over 7.6 million people, have now had both doses of the vaccine. princes william and harry have paid tribute to their grandfather the duke of edinburgh. william described prince philip as an extraordinary man from an extraordinary generation. harry wrote he was my grandpa, master of the barbecue, and a legend of banter. here's our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. he was there for them at their moment of greatest anguish, walking with a young william and harry behind the coffin of her mother after her death in a road accident. and the bond between the grandfather and grandsonis, on whom so many hopes rested was a deep one. in his statement william says he feels fortunate to have had his grandfather's enduring presence to guide him through good times
8:11 pm
and the hardest days. he recalled the special memories his own children will have of their great grandpa, coming to collect them in his carriage. then william says this... harry speaks of his grandfather's unparalleled devotion to the queen". this he had been legend of banter, master of the barbecue and cheeky right again. harry finished by saying this, thank you for your service, your dedication to granny, and for always being yourself. in the houses of parliament, recalled early from the easter recess, politicians paid their tributes, led by the prime minister. he gave us, and he gives
8:12 pm
us all, a model of selflessness, benefiting others before ourselves. and, although i suspect mr speaker, that he might be embarrassed or even faintly exasperated to receive these tributes, he made this country a better place. a life lived in strong and vigorous brushstrokes like a painting —— like his painting, and we offer up this tribute. the duke of edinburgh, for a lifetime of public service, the gold award. in the scottish parliament in edinburgh tributes to the duke were led by the first minister nicola sturgeon. of course he faced the additional challenge of being the husband of a powerful woman at a time when that was even more of an exception than it is today. that reversal of the more traditional dynamic was highly unusual in the 1940s, 50s and 60s, and, even now isn't as common as it might be.
8:13 pm
a virtual session of the welsh assembly heard from the first minister mark drakeford. to have lived such a life at the centre of world events, and in a way which made almost every experience of public rather than simply private interest, makes it even more remarkable still. and that was the life of the duke of edinburgh. he had stepped onto the national stage before most of the day's political leaders were born. today, they spoke out in their appreciation of him. nicholas witchell, bbc news. emily nash is the royal editor of hello magazine. all the duke's children have issued personal— all the duke's children have issued personal statements are now the two grandchildren, william and harry, as well. , ., , , ,

8:15 pm
diverging path. buti to get on with it shows the diverging path. but i don't think you can read it too much as a sting. i think it was very much to brothers sharing their very personal memories, and again emphasising their different perspectives on life inside and outside the royal fold. their different perspectives on life inside and outside the royalfold. i inside and outside the royal fold. i suppose people who follow the royal family, royal editors like you, there is an element of criminology to this. it has been pointed out to this that harry ended his statement with a statement from the royal marines. —— kremlinology. he took over as general of the royal marines but had to stand back when the queen decided he would lose his royal patronage. decided he would lose his royal patronage-— decided he would lose his royal ”atronae. , ., ., , ., patronage. there is no doubt that would have _ patronage. there is no doubt that would have been _ patronage. there is no doubt that would have been a _ patronage. there is no doubt that would have been a very _ patronage. there is no doubt that would have been a very difficult i would have been a very difficult blow for harry given his long service to the armed forces and dedication both during his ten years
8:16 pm
of military service, but beyond that is the founder of the invicta schemes, and i think it is touching that he focused on something that very closely connected him to his grandfather. —— invictus games. even at a point where he no longer holds those honorary titles are to something he clearly feels as huge bond between them.— bond between them. more details about the funeral _ bond between them. more details about the funeral on _ bond between them. more details about the funeral on saturday, - bond between them. more details. about the funeral on saturday, very limited numbers, of course. some will be wearing uniforms and very close family. just on the two brothers, because inevitably with the televising of this you know, there will be a lot of focus on that. i don't know if you saw there will be a lot of focus on that. i don't know if you sanohn major's comments yesterdayjust saying that he hopes this rift, if indeed it is a rift, can be healed as quickly as possible. is there anybody who can do that, do you think, apart from prince charles?
8:17 pm
sorry, to heal the rift between brothers? i think everyone's focus is going to be on supporting the queen. she is the key person at the event, and it is very much going to be about uniting in grief for the idiot. it is not correct that we should focus really only difficulties the family have been through although obviously we are going to be mindful of recent events, but i do think the brothers will want to do everything they can to support their grandmother at this critical time, and by turning the focus onto their own difficulties, they are not going to achieve that. the headlines on bbc news. a return to a bit of normality — in england...people take their first chance in months to go to the shops — and to the pub. also princes william and harry pay personal tributes
8:18 pm

8:21 pm
it is stilljust hard to comprehend. ijust feel extremely lucky, it is just such a special race and i am absolutely honoured to be able to put my name beside it. this mark cavendish has won his first race in more than three years after taking the second stage of the tour of turkey. many feared his career might�*ve been over at the end of last season but the 35—year—old re—joined his old decueninck quickstep team for this year, and it's paid off — just on the right of the screen you can see the manx missile sprinting to his first victory since 2018 — he said it was an incredible feeling to be a winner again. a rajasthan royals team containing ben stokes and jos buttler fell just short of chasing down a mammoth 222 target in their opening indian premier league match against punjab kings. the kings smashing 221 for 6 from their 20 overs, with kl rahul hitting 91 from just 50 balls. the royals started slowly before samson took centre stage. 119 from just 63 balls. they needed five from the final ball to win with samson on strike — but fell agonisingly short.
8:22 pm
that's all the sport for now. we'll have more for you on the bbc news channel later on. a police officer who shot dead a 20—year—old black man north of minneapolis confused her handgun with her taser. in the hours after the shooting, there were clashes between police and protesters. the incident occurred in the district of brooklyn center and the victim has been named as twenty year old dauntay wright. president biden has called for calm after the clashes. wasn't an accident, was it intentional?— wasn't an accident, was it intentional? . ., , ., , intentional? that remains to be determined _ intentional? that remains to be determined by _ intentional? that remains to be determined by a _ intentional? that remains to be determined by a full-blown - determined by a full— blown investigation. —— was it an accident? _ investigation. —— was it an accident? there is nojustification for violence. accident? there is nojustification forviolence. peaceful accident? there is nojustification for violence. peaceful protest understandable, and the factors that we do _

8:25 pm
about in church, he was a truck driver and they chatted constantly. he talked about how he was beloved in his entire family and this is something that exists in the statutes of the state of minnesota, a spark of life that can perhaps humanise the individual to the jury and the brother, possibly the best—known of the family, has done a brilliantjob, almost tearful in explaining to thejury brilliantjob, almost tearful in explaining to the jury who george floyd was. the explaining to the “my who george flo d was. , .,, . ., explaining to the “my who george flo dwas. , . ., ., , ., floyd was. the prosecution wants to com - letel floyd was. the prosecution wants to completely discredit _ floyd was. the prosecution wants to completely discredit the _ floyd was. the prosecution wants to completely discredit the defence - completely discredit the defence theory that there were medical reasons why george floyd would have died anyway. find reasons why george floyd would have died anyway-— died anyway. and this is their last chance to do _ died anyway. and this is their last chance to do so. _ died anyway. and this is their last chance to do so. we _ died anyway. and this is their last chance to do so. we expect - died anyway. and this is their last chance to do so. we expect they. died anyway. and this is their last i chance to do so. we expect they will be resting after the use of force expert who is testifying now so they have to make a really strong case that the defence's argument is that it is because of drug use and
8:26 pm
underlying health problems, they have placed a lot of emphasis on the methamphetamine found in the system and the opioid fentanyl, so if they do not make out really strong pitch to the jury right now, over the next few days as the defence begins to call their own medical experts and thatis call their own medical experts and that is what will remain in the minds of thejury, that is what will remain in the minds of the jury, they will probably lose the case, so they had to make one final last—ditch effort to make one final last—ditch effort to make one final last—ditch effort to make sure the jury is aware of what they said in the beginning. believe in your own eyes, you saw a man die on camera and that is what you should make your decision on. and mind you are ten miles away, another shooting but the police very quick to come out with video tapes and body calm evidence and the reason why this man was shot, it seems. it reason why this man was shot, it seems. , , ., ., ~ seems. it is very rare for american olice to seems. it is very rare for american police to release — seems. it is very rare for american police to release body _ seems. it is very rare for american police to release body cameras - seems. it is very rare for american police to release body cameras so | police to release body cameras so quickly, this incident only happened yesterday and today the may rnd police department behind me have

8:28 pm
statement, nojustice, no streets. the veteran liberal democrat politician baroness williams has died at the age of 90. as shirley williams she served in two labour cabinets in the 1970s and was instrumental in the introduction of comprehensive schools. in the 1980s she was one of the so—called gang of four who founded the social democratic party. 0ur deputy political editor vicki young looks back at her life. we have been to all of the sugar refiners. shirley williams was once tipped as a future prime minister, but she joked that her disorganised nature ruled her out. she was clear, though, she had the qualities needed for thejob. the prime minister has to get on with all kinds of people, without side, without snobbery, without aloofness. politics was in her blood. her mother was vera brittain, a famous novelist and feminist campaigner. shirley williams joined the labour party in her teens and entered the house of commons in 1964. in a male—dominated profession, she was often the only woman on the platform.
8:29 pm
she rose to cabinet level when labour returned to power in 1974, and later, as education secretary, began to replace grammar schools with the comprehensive system. but she and others became disillusioned as the labour party moved to the left. she urged colleagues to keep to the centre ground of british politics. too many have done something which is known as keeping your head down. well, the time has come when you better stick your heads up. in 1981 williams dramatically walked away from labour, one of the so—called gang of four who established the sdp, promising to break the mould of british politics. she won crosby in a famous by—election. we are making a new beginning for britain. and a new vision for britain. the euphoria was short lived. she lost in the 1983 general election, and the sdp won just six seats. a sometimes acrimonious
8:30 pm
merger with the liberal party eventually created the liberal democrats. now baroness williams, she held senior academic posts, but remained active in politics, becoming president of the party. she was passionately pro—european. using herfinal speech to the house of lords before retirement to make the case against brexit. think very hard before allowing the united kingdom to withdraw from what i believe to be its major duty to the world, and that is to deliver through the european union. today colleagues recalled her wisdom and warmth. the feeling was that if shirley williams and i had been running the �*83 election together, we would have done even better than we did. she was just a very popular person, much more popular than any of the rest of us. shirley was a liberal lion. she was a trailblazer, particularly for women in politics. the liberal democrat family is very sad tonight. baroness shirley williams — who's died at the age of 90.
8:31 pm
let's speak now to the former leader of the liberal democrats, lord ming campbell. thank lord ming campbell. you forjoining us, just picking thank you forjoining us, just picking up on what david steele said, she was genuinely loud, it seemed, inside and outside westminster, and i do a different labour leadership, did she have what it took to becoming prime minister, as some people thought about? i as some people thought about? i think she had a lot of the qualities necessary, but the quality of peeping to time wasn't one of them, but no doubt people would have been able to organise that for her. she had this remarkable capability, as has been said, she had charm, warmth, but she had intellectual rigour, she was one of those people who never looked over your shoulder, looking for someone more interesting to talk to. that was usually because she was very deft at deconstructing
8:32 pm
the argument you were having with their own favour. the party low shirley, i don't think the labour party love her quite as much. —— departed loved. when the difficult merger came about, whereas david 0wen thought that the sdp should stay out of a merger, shirley was a very enthusiastic supporter of the merger and thereafter led the liberal democrat peers in the house of lords and she turned in a slightly different direction and became a professor at harvard, and of someone had all the talents it was shirley williams. ih of someone had all the talents it was shirley williams.— of someone had all the talents it was shirley williams. in the mark peel biography — was shirley williams. in the mark peel biography of _ was shirley williams. in the mark peel biography of her, _ was shirley williams. in the mark peel biography of her, you - was shirley williams. in the mark peel biography of her, you were i peel biography of her, you were quoted as saying how illuminating it was about her, but she came across as surprisingly vulnerable is that something you noticed politically and privately?— and privately? interesting you mention the _ and privately? interesting you mention the mark _ and privately? interesting you mention the mark peel - and privately? interesting you - mention the mark peel biography, because he approached me and asked me to open negotiations as it were
8:33 pm
with shirley, as to whether or not she would be willing to accept him as her biographer, and in the end he produced a book. i have a feeling that neither of them was entirely satisfied by what they produced. i think she was vulnerable in the sense that a lot of her life was spent on her own, when she was in the labour party people were rather suspicious of her, and after the business of creating comprehensive education, there was a lot of criticism, too. that i think is why, when she was in the liberal democrats, there was a kind of warmth and protection for her. she was probably at her most relaxed. the interesting thing is that she chose to retire earlier than people expected, but i think she probably had in mind the fact that harold wilson did just that against people's expectations, on the ground that she wanted to be remembered for
8:34 pm
being in her prime rather than someone whose qualities had diminished with the passage of time. in terms of her legacy, latterly the voice of reason, she used to appear all the time on question time and other political shows, but looking at the actual facts, would it be the compressive school system which she brought about, its birth? i compressive school system which she brought about, its birth?— brought about, its birth? i believe in the copperhead _ brought about, its birth? i believe in the copperhead subsystem - brought about, its birth? i believe in the copperhead subsystem so l brought about, its birth? i believe in the copperhead subsystem so i | brought about, its birth? i believe - in the copperhead subsystem so i was never at odds with her about that, and she wasn't tribal —— comprehensive system. one of the things she was fulfilling a right up to the point at which, probably afterwards, she was advising gordon brown when he was prime minister about the problems of nuclear proliferation. i suspect that given that the present government has started talking of adding 14 nuclear warheads, shirley would have been in her element at deconstructing that argument as well.—

8:36 pm
will not necessarily look at what you were alluding to, which was the fact that a lot of people are now questioning whether the lobbying system in general works, and whether under the rules in place are fit for purpose. if what we have seen over the last few weeks was within the rules. so it seems from the reference that we have had published that this will look at some of the specifics of what went on with this company. the bigger question of how lobbying works in the uk and what some perceive as the revolving door between government and the lobbying sector, that will not necessarily be one for this review.— one for this review. nick, thank ou. more now on the further easing of lockdown restrictions in england. many of us — but not me today — have had the chance to go to the pub, have a haircut or hit the shops for a bit of retail therapy. the easing of lockdown must come as a relief for people in leicester

8:48 pm
is to go to court to challenge two laws passed by the scottish parliament last month. our scotland political editor glenn campbell has more details. this is a big power struggle which is going to be settled in the highest civil court in the land is going to be settled in the highest civil court in the [and uk ministers are concerned that this place has overreached, that it has legislated into areas going beyond its powers. so the scottish parliament has decided to pass laws that would incorporate into scots law the un convention on the rights of the child and european charter or local self—government. the problem with that is from the point of view of uk ministers, they think that this legislation places obligations on them that mean holyrood has gone beyond its powers, and they want the judges at the uk sipping court to rule on that. that is a very
8:49 pm
controversial decision for them to go to court in the middle of a holyrood election campaign, the first minister and snp leader nicola sturgeon has reacted angrily, described this decision as jaw—dropping, as political catastrophic and morally repugnant. uk government sources say, whilst it is regrettable, it was avoidable that the scottish government could have made some small changes to this legislation that would have made it acceptable uk wide. in the end it is now going to be settled in court, but there is also going to be a lot of political argument in this election campaign. it feeds to wider debate that is going on in scotland, and underlies more or less all the debates in this election campaign about whether or not there should be another referendum on scottish independence, who should ultimately take the big decisions about
8:50 pm
scotland's future, as hopefully we move beyond the pandemic and into a recovery phase. the snp and scottish greens support and other referendum on independence, the other parties at holyrood, conservatives, labour and the liberal democrats, think that there should be no further talk about constitutional change, that the entire focus of the next parliament should be on recovery and that constitutional questions should be for another day. the argument from the snp is that the debate over independence is key to shaping the nature of the scottish recovery, so there is a key underlying debate in this campaign, and i think today's decisions will fuel that. the film nomadland was the big winner at the bafta awards last night. the ceremony was held without an audience due to covid restrictions. the winners accepted their awards via webcam — although sir anthony hopkins
