today at six — no more keeping your distance. the one metre covid rule, could end in england, next month. the one metre covid rule could end in england next month. but borisjohnson says infection rates must stay down and foreign variants must stay out. we've got a good chance, a good chance, to be able to dispense with the one metre plus from 21stjune. there's also hope some international travel could resume later this month. also on the programme... together in person, the foreign secretary meets his us counterpart, vowing to work together on everything from china to climate change. a complex, divided history. it's exactly 100 years since the birth of northern ireland. and new premier league rules

to prevent top clubs breaking away. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. borisjohnson says there's a "good chance" that social distancing rules can end in england, onjune 21st, the final date of the government's roadmap out of lockdown. but the prime minister says it depends on coronavirus case numbers remaining low, with no spikes caused by variants from other countries. that fear clouds the debate on whether people should be booking holidays, with the government due to release later this week its so—called green list of countries tourists can travel to this summer. here's our political correspondent iain watson. for so long now the message has been

tuesday apart, but today the prime minister was sounding optimistic that we would be able to move closer, next month. it looks to me as though 21st ofjune, we will be able to say that social distancing as we currently have to do it, the one metre plus, i think we have got a good chance, a good chance, of being able to dispense with one metre plus. being able to dispense with one metre nus-— metre plus. that would make entertainment _ metre plus. that would make entertainment venues - metre plus. that would make entertainment venues more | metre plus. that would make - entertainment venues more viable, but the government's review on social distancing in england is yet to report and it is possible we might still be advised to wear masks in cinemas and theatres and on public transport. but the enticing prospect of spring and summer sunshine seems to be moving closer. later this week the government is expected to confirm the ban on going holiday abroad from england will be lifted on 17th may. and the eu has raised the prospect today of allowing non—essential travel from countries with good vaccination rates, such as the uk. but the government is set to introduce a range of restrictions for when you

come back. a traffic light system of restrictions will be introduced in england from 17th may. if you come back from a country on a red list you will have to book expensive hotel quarantine. if you are coming back from a country on a new amber list you will have to self—isolate at home. initially a small group of countries with high vaccination rates or lower levels of virus will be on a green list. if you have visited any of these, you will not need to quarantine so long as you have proof of a negative test. but a report from a cross—party group of mps claims there are flaws in the system when people arrive at airports. system when people arrive at airorts. ~ i. �* system when people arrive at airorts. ~ ,, �* ., , , airports. when you've got surges ha enin: airports. when you've got surges happening across _ airports. when you've got surges happening across the _ airports. when you've got surges happening across the world - airports. when you've got surges| happening across the world which airports. when you've got surges - happening across the world which are probably going to be countries that end up on a red list, the people coming in from those countries will be mixing relatively freely with people from green countries and amber countries, in those arrival halls. we are urging extreme caution and we are actually asking the government to discourage leisure travel at this time. the government to discourage leisure travel at this time.— travel at this time. the labour leader also — travel at this time. the labour leader also urged _ travel at this time. the labour leader also urged the - travel at this time. the labour - leader also urged the government to proceed with caution. it is

prospect of perhaps in just seven weeks' time, social distancing as we know it finally being swept away. but opposition politicians say he has got a habit of promising and not delivering and it was interesting that an all—party group of mps who have been looking into the covid crisis still think that in a couple of weeks' time, reopening foreign travel is still far too risky. that said, there are many in boris johnson's own party who think he is moving far too slowly. so as we stand here on a very dismal may bank holiday, some of them think that lifting restrictions on foreign travel can't come quickly enough, not just to travel can't come quickly enough, notjust to help people leave the country but they say it is essential for the good of the economy and for the aviation industry. iain for the good of the economy and for the aviation industry.— the aviation industry. iain watson, at westminster, _ the aviation industry. iain watson, at westminster, thank _ the aviation industry. iain watson, at westminster, thank you. - the latest government figures show there were 1,649 new coronavirus infections recorded in the latest 24—hour period, which means on average 2,129 new cases were reported per day in the last week. there was a single death recorded in the latest 24—hour period,

that's of someone who died within 28 days of a positive covid—19 test, and that's the lowest number since august, but the figures are often down, after the weekend. on average in the past week, 15 deaths were announced every day. on vaccinations, more than 34.5 million people have now had their first dose of a covid vaccine and more than 15.5 million people have had two doses. lockdown restrictions have been further eased in wales. swimming pools as well as gyms have reopened, which are now able to hold exercise classes of up to 15 people. two households are now also allowed to form a bubble and meet indoors for the first time this year. restrictions on the number of mourners who can attend funerals will be lifted in england from 17th may. the size of the venue will determine how many mourners can be safely accommodated while maintaining social distancing, both indoors and outside. the move has been welcomed by the national association of funeral directors.

the foreign secretary, dominic raab, and his american counterpart antony blinken, have been holding talks in london ahead of tomorrow's ministerial meeting of the g7 group of industrialised nations. they discussed working together on climate change, economic recovery after covid and human rights. our diplomatic correspondent james landale has the very latest. this is antony blinken, america's new top diplomat, in london to meet the foreign secretary to reaffirm the foreign secretary to reaffirm the transatlantic relationship. with both sides hoping that any disagreement will be about who stands where. after four years when transatlantic relations were ravaged by early—morning tweets and disagreement over iran and climate change, there was a new tone, reaffirming a relationship that cannot escape a particular adjective. cannot escape a particular adjective-— cannot escape a particular ad'ective. ., ,, ., ., , , ad'ective. that special relationship is adjective. that special relationship is enduring. _ adjective. that special relationship is enduring, it's _ adjective. that special relationship is enduring, it's effective, - adjective. that special relationship is enduring, it's effective, it - adjective. that special relationship is enduring, it's effective, it is - is enduring, its effective, it is dynamic and it is close to the hearts of the american people. the

up together and say, ok, we can stand up for open societies, for freedom and liberty in a way that perhaps they haven't done in the past? and so that will be the test. that's why it is notjust the g7 ministers that are meeting, it is also the indians and others coming too it is going to be a big test for british diplomacy. james landale, many thanks. 100 years ago today, legislation paved the way for a devolved parliament to govern what would become northern ireland. the queen says the centenary is an opportunity to reflect on togetherness and diversity, and she has paid tribute today to those people who have worked for peace. but the anniversary is viewed very differently by unionists and nationalists, as our ireland correspondent chris page reports. these are the pictures northern ireland wants to be best known for, a place of friendly cities and splendid coastal scenery. but it has a history which hurts. it's still recovering from the conflict which lasted for 30 years, until the late 1990s.

there was violence, too, a century ago. sectarian killings across the island of ireland. republicans fought a war with britain. the southern 26 counties became independent. people with a british identity had a majority in the north—east of the island, so six counties stayed in the uk, becoming northern ireland. today is one of a series of anniversaries. it's notjust the start of northern ireland as we know, of northern ireland as we know it, it's the start of the united kingdom as we know it. and the united kingdom is stronger and better because of all the constituent parts, and northern ireland plays a huge part in that. for unionists, 2021 is the centenary of the state they strongly value. but for many people who identify as irish, it's the anniversary of the partition of ireland and a source of generational injustice. in her message, the queen called for a sustained commitment to reconciliation, equality and understanding. she said she treasured the spirit of goodwill from her state visit

to the republic of ireland a decade ago, the first by a british monarch since independence. political divisions in northern ireland have been sharpened by the brexit trade border with the rest of the uk. but the irish president has also expressed hopeful sentiments. i think it is possible for us to deal with the past. yeah. there will be a little, some pain, but i think it's possible for us to deal with even our present difficulties. i think they should be ironed out. they can be. events to mark the centenary have been limited so far due to the pandemic, but that doesn't make perspectives on the past any less powerful here. chris page, bbc news, belfast. sirjeffrey donaldson has officially launched his bid to become the next leader of the democratic unionist party. he says he's convinced northern ireland's best days are ahead.

he'll be taking on the dup agriculture minister, edwin poots, for the leadership. arlene foster steps down at the end of the month. premier league clubs will be required to sign up to a new owners�* charter, with "significant sanctions" for breaches of rules, in the wake of the proposed breakaway european super league. liverpool, manchester united, manchester city, arsenal, chelsea and tottenham all sparked outrage from fans with plans to join the new competition. well, joe wilson is at old trafford for us, where yesterday some fans invaded the pitch, in protest at the club's owners. joe, these new rules, perhaps this is what the fans wanted?— is what the fans wanted? well, ma be, is what the fans wanted? well, maybe. clive. _ is what the fans wanted? well, maybe, clive, it— is what the fans wanted? well, maybe, clive, it is— is what the fans wanted? well, maybe, clive, it is a _ is what the fans wanted? well, maybe, clive, it is a wild - is what the fans wanted? well, maybe, clive, it is a wild and i is what the fans wanted? well, l maybe, clive, it is a wild and wet day in manchester today and condemnation has certainly continued today after the pitch invasions we witnessed yesterday. manchester united say they will work with police to identify those involved in

criminal activity. also, united saying they have no intention of actually punishing those involved in peaceful protests. it is a balanced, i think. those european super league proposals set in motion a wave of anger that will be tough to halt now. i think a lot of supporters would rather be focusing on fan ownership of their clubs rather than a charter. the premier league is saying that they will commit owners to its core values with the threat of sanctions and rules and regulations, the details there i think remain to be seen. what is clear, though, clive, is the background, with the premier league saying today that the events of the last two weeks have challenged the foundations and the resolve of english football. joell foundations and the resolve of english football.— foundations and the resolve of enalish football. , ., ~ ., ~ english football. joel wilson, thank ou for english football. joel wilson, thank you for that. _ english football. joel wilson, thank you for that. at _ english football. joel wilson, thank you for that, at a _ english football. joel wilson, thank you for that, at a wet _ english football. joel wilson, thank you for that, at a wet and - english football. joel wilson, thank you for that, at a wet and windy - english football. joel wilson, thank| you for that, at a wet and windy old trafford. it's the final day of the world snooker championships in sheffield and mark selby is leading shaun murphy by 14 frames to 11. it's also the first time in more than a year that a capacity crowd has been allowed to watch a uk sporting event because of covid. selby needs four more frames to take the title when the final session

resumes later this evening. it's a ratings record for line of duty on bbc one last night, after almost 13 million people tuned in to watch the finale of the sixth series. it's the biggest tv drama audience not including soaps for more than 20 years. viewers wanted to learn the identity of the mysterious h, and he was finally revealed, in the police corruption drama created by jed mecurio. that's it, so goodbye from me. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good evening. in scotland and wales, you get two votes. one for your local constituency member and then another vote for the regional list. this vote, effectively, helps parties which don't do so well in the local constituencies, but do still score well overall in the election, tops their representation up, gives them extra seats, makes the overall system more proportionate. but that is different, of course, if you're in england and voting on english local councils. there, it's our old friend, welcome its first past the post. it's one voter, one candidate, one vote, whichever candidate gets one vote, whichever candidate gets one more vote than all of the other candidates, they are elected, whichever party controls more than

50% of the seats in the local chamber, they control the local council. and if they are not able to get more than 50% of the seats, then they have to form a coalition with another party. and then it's different again if you're voting in the english mayoral elections or the police and crime commissioner is. there, there's something called the supplementary vote system. voters get to preferences. if no candidate gets over 50% of the vote, then the other candidates are eliminated one ijy other candidates are eliminated one by one and the preferences of those voters are redistributed until you get over 50% of the vote for one candidate and, hey presto, you've got a mayor, you've got an english got a mayor. you�*ve gotanenglish police and got a mayor. you�*ve g'otan'english police and crime commissioner. local police and crime commissioner. but of course, the one thing that unites all of these elections is the fact that they are taking place in very, very different circumstances than we might expect, certainly compared to the halcyon days in the 19505 compared to the halcyon days in the 1950s here, this is taking place in a global pandemic. very different sets of elections. locals even being asked to bring their own pencil, shield us asked to vote by post. and you just can't know what effect all of that is going to have on turnout. could be much lower, could be much higher, if lots of people choose to vote by post who wouldn't normally do so. and therefore, this is very unpredictable set of elections and we can't know what power they are going to have in order to give us wider insights into the trend is going on in our politics more generally.

hello. this is bbc news. with shaun ley. we're just three days away from the local elections, and the scottish parliament and welsh elections and police and crime commissioner is and some elected mayors. wherever you live, you need to get up—to—date with what the elections are in your area, that information is on the bbc website. our correspondent lewis goodall has been taking a look at what's happening and where. there is a bumper crop of elections coming up on may 6th in england, scotland and wales. in fact, they are the biggest set of elections, the biggest test — democratic test — for the three major parties this side of the next general election. so let's have a look at some

of the contests that are taking place across the country. well, for a start, we've got 143 different english councils up for election, 5,000 seats up for election in some places. a third of the chamber in some places, half the chamber in some places, all of the chamber in some places. two thirds of the chamber, of course, because some of those seats are holdovers from councillors which should have been elected, but weren't because of the pandemic. 129 msps in the scottish parliament in holyrood up for election. all 60 members of the welsh senedd up for election. we've seen what huge powers those bodies have in scotland and wales during the pandemic, so big elections there. in england as well, police and crime commissioners up for election. 39 of them. they control police budgets and strategy in their area. 25 seats for the london assembly and the london mayoralty, as well as a whole suite of other directly elected mayors — 13 of them. so, how are these elections conducted, what do you have to do when you get in those voting booths? well, it might be a bit more complicated than you think. it depends where you live and what you're voting in. in scotland and wales, then you get two votes. one for your local constituency member and then another vote

for the regional list. this vote, effectively, helps parties which don't do so well in the local constituencies, but do still score well overall in the election, tops their representation up, gives them extra seats, makes the overall system more proportionate. but that is different, of course, if you're living in england and voting in english local councils. there, it's our old friend — well, it's first past the post. it's one voter, one candidate, one vote — whichever candidate gets one more vote than all of the other candidates, they are elected. whichever party controls more than 50% of the seats in the local chamber, they control the local council. and if they are not able to get more than 50% of the seats, then they have to form a coalition with another party. and then it's different again if you're voting in the english mayoral elections or the police and crime commissioners. there, there's something called the supplementary vote system. voters get two preferences. if no candidate gets over 50% of the vote, then the other candidates

are eliminated one by one and the preferences of those voters are redistributed until you get over 50% of the vote for one candidate and, hey presto, you've got a mayor, you've got an english local police and crime commissioner. but of course, the one thing that unites all of these elections is the fact that they are taking place in very, very different circumstances than we might expect. certainly different from the halcyon days in the 1950s here, this is taking place in a global pandemic. very different sets of elections. covid—secu re local voting stations. locals even being asked to bring their own pencil, shielders asked to vote by post. we just can't know what effect all of that is going to have on turnout. could be much lower, could be much higher, if lots of people choose to vote by post who wouldn't normally do so. and therefore, this is a very unpredictable set of elections and we can't know what power they're going to have in order to give us wider insights into the trends going on in our politics more generally.

it is good precautionary advice. for herfamily to lose it is good precautionary advice. for her family to lose somebody in the circumstances, but to know that nobody knows why or can hint or guess at why or say this is the explanation and we are investigating it, it must add to the trauma they are going through. {lit it, it must add to the trauma they are going through.— are going through. of course, to ick u- are going through. of course, to pick up on _ are going through. of course, to pick up on your— are going through. of course, to pick up on your point _ are going through. of course, to pick up on your point on - are going through. of course, to pick up on your point on this - pick up on your point on this notice, it does say, we are not ruling out anything and we are open to all possibilities. so you are correct. to go back to the family, i spoke to kent police who did confirm to me thatjulia's daughter is a serving police officer as well. so very close to home in every respect. and i have also been in touch with friends of the family and there is a big push right now on social media, a lot of them changing their facebook pictures and using the hashtag justice forjulia and messaging a lot of celebrities to keep the story in the public domain to hope anybody that could crack this case open could come forward.

diners are being encouraged to avoid the third cheapest bottle of wine at restaurants, which new research shows has the biggest mark—up. in the past, restaurant owners have been accused of overpricing the second cheapest bottle of wine to exploit those embarassed by choosing the cheapest option, but a new study shows that it is actually the third cheapest bottle of wine which is the worst value for money. professor david de meza from the london school of economics undertook the research. he said they did look closely at the prices. well, the basic kind of thing is in percentage terms, the make up —— the mark—up on the retail price rises up to about the middle wine on the menu. so the second cheapest is way below the middle wine. and therefore, there is no
