goodbye. sally's guys will get a few more days of this for a walk in the park. also time in the beer garden, you've earned it. but my the sunshine, we've not be used with for quite some time now. you may want to consider sunscreen if you're out the whole day. 0k, consider sunscreen if you're out the whole day. ok, let's have a look at the forecast then and the warm weather has spread notjust across the uk but into scandinavia and many other parts of europe as this high pressure continues to build. the winds are light, plenty of sunshine, it was a beautiful day on the east coast today. but out towards the west you can see a little bit more clout. that cloud is in the process of melting away. through this evening and overnight talking about largely clear skies however we have
5:31 pm
got cloud in the north sea and a bit of an onshore wind. that means by the early hours of sunday morning it could turn quite overcast and murky. in fact all the way down to the kent coast. otherwise it sunshine from the word go. across so many parts of the word go. across so many parts of the uk. that low, grey cloud will be flirting with the north sea coast. let's take a closer look, this is 3pm on sunday. a little chilly for our friends we can be cloud just off the aberdeen share but lapping. they have pledged to include green space and a community centre but residents argue the estate is overcrowded enough as it is. off the coast of yorkshire. but elsewhere in england hardly a cloud in the sky. 22 degrees perfect weather. as a weather frontjust to the web server neighbourhood and the cold air is kept at bay out in the atlantic. bank holiday monday temperature is 23 in london, 23 in liverpool and into the 20s for.
5:32 pm
particular scheme because they said it is currently going through the application process, but what they did mention is the overwhelming need for new homes around here. glasco and also edinburgh. high pressure still with us on tuesday. the weather front still kept at bay and the winds are coming in from this self. our warmest day it will be on tuesday peaking at around 25 in london could hit the mid—20s further north 20 degrees for belfast with some sunshine as well. how long is a ghetto last? it's only last on tuesday at the time you get to when they that could be some thunderstorms on the way. that's a long way off. let's enjoy the sunshine for now.

5:34 pm
watch that video. the killing of george floyd by derek chauvin, the police officer that knelt down his neck for more than nine minutes. one year on we are going to take a look at the impact of what happened worldwide after global protests over the killing. we begin here in america, in missouri, st. louis county where the main city has the highest level of civilian deaths at the hands of the police. what can be done to improve relations between officers and the public they serve? what happens when communities are under siege? for me to feel that even with my collar on that i have to be armed, is pretty depressing.
5:35 pm
under siege from violence, the bitter harvest of decades of neglect and poverty. but under siege too from those meant to defeat the violence, bad cops, poisoning public opinion. i see comments on facebook and things of that nature, you know, this is all police want to do is kill us. but i can things be turned around and public trust regained in the st. louis region the worst area in america for civilian deaths at the hands of the police? before george floyd, there was michael brown in the st. louis suburb of ferguson. in 2014 the 18—year—old was shot six times after an altercation
5:36 pm
with a police officer. he was unarmed. hurt and angry a community raged. you must disperse immediately, this is no longer a peaceful protest! supercharging a depressingly familiar debate about us policing. meet patrol officer britney richardson. a 12 veteran who helped battle the rioters. so this is the neighbourhood where michael brown died? yeah. he has a memorial right there. pensive in the memory of danger. one habit brings comfort. you pray every day? yeah. every day.
5:37 pm
i pray over my kids room before i leave, make sure that they are safe and they know they are loved. you worry that you just won't get home to them? i might not. all right greater fairfax. elsewhere in st. louis county the reverend darryl gray organises volunteers to distribute masks to protect against coronavirus in the local neighborhood. i'll take the bad part on the side. the man of god has a plan. i tell people i work hollow but i'm not stupid. the beleif that god will do everything for us and we have to do nothing for ourselves, that's not faith, that superstition. and i can get you killed. and that's why carry the gun? that's like area, yeah.
5:38 pm
it's the violence of parts of this area born out of years of neglect and deprivation that for the police requires a tough response. police have told us very openly that when they go into a black community they are going to over police because there is a fear. they are going to come and heavy, they're can come in fast and they're going to get out fast. but you understand that? of course i do. that makes sense? it makes a lot of sense but police about to take some responsibility for a lack of trust. trust. a precious commodity between the community and police. slowly being rebuilt in the years after michael brown's death. commanderjason armstrong has led the ferguson
5:39 pm
police department for the last two yea rs. i cannot guarantee or promise you that there is not to be a police shooting. what i can promise you is that working to handle that problem, that working to handle that problem, that mistake the right way. we have a duty to report policy. if another department sees an officer committing violation or even breaking the law there their officers becomes a witness and has a duty to report it. and if you don't report it the penalties, the repercussions for them are almost as significant as the individual that's committing the violence or the infraction. it committing the violence or the infraction. , committing the violence or the infraction-— infraction. it is however a long “ourne infraction. it is however a long journey to _ infraction. it is however a long journey to read _ infraction. it is however a long journey to read them - infraction. it is however a long journey to read them easily i journey to read them easily derailed. and the death of george floyd has damaged attempts for police forces everywhere to repair it links with the people they serve. i think it set law enforcement back

5:42 pm
teachable moment the other way around. what could france learn from the tragedy? spring sunshine bathes a land. indeed the tranquility swirls a tempest on race. all these people should be wearing masks due to covid, even outdoors, the fine 135 euros. but the police turn a blind eye. yet not too far away different tactics. two men who happen to be black are stopped and questioned for not wearing masks. one bystander reassures and complies. but our presence angers the police. one of our team is told by a female officer to go bleep.
5:43 pm
this officer tells us we are not allowed to film but that's not true. angry, they disappear. it was hoped winds of change would blow when george floyd died. 12 months ago so much seemed possible. tens of thousands marched here, joining millions in global protests. over a death that resonated, especially in black and arab communities of france where other men have died in police custody. yet a year later, more not fewer laws are being introduced that could insulate violent officers from prosecution. he chronicles the french police brutality. he's punching him the face. tetra french police brutality. he's punching him the face. two police officers. punching him the face. two police officers yes. _ punching him the face. two police officers. yes, yes. _

5:45 pm
media organisations have tried to piece together what happened when the 24—year—old ran for police in a suburb north of paris after failing to show his identity card. but his sister says the evidence is clear, the police beat and killed him. despite a court ruling that her brother died of natural causes she retraces his final steps. that's where he was beaten, just in there? and down the street the police station where he was declared dead. if anyone can build a prosecution case against the police for police brutality it's this man. a human rights lawyer he represents several
5:46 pm
people attacked by officers. should i be worried walking down streets at night because i'm black? i should be worried? the fact that this man music producer is black say his lawyers wasn't lost on the officers who beat him in his own recording studio. a security camera captured every punch and kick after he was stopped by police for not wearing a mask outside his front door. the video stunned france with president macon tweedy has discussed.
5:47 pm
and yet say critics faith placed in him on his election as president to tackle racism in france is ebbing away as he attempts to curry favour with voters on the right before elections next year. they see new security laws, including the arrest of anyone filming the police and maliciously making the images public as an attempt to cling onto power. it's often those who are black or arab in france who have no power and are 20 times more likely to be stopped by police than anyone who's white. the ministry of interior didn't want to comment on the issues raised in our report. but the police told us they are not races and point told us they are not races and point to increases in violent crime and drugs offences and was proof of the difficultjob they do. however,
5:48 pm
there is an acknowledgement about there is an acknowledgement about the deficit of trust between young people and the police. the generation _ people and the police. the generation for _ people and the police. the generation for us - people and the police. tie: generation for us actually people and the police. tte: generation for us actually is people and the police. t"te: generation for us actually is lost. we think we lost a generation. but we want to fight for the next generation of people. france simply cannot turn — generation of people. france simply cannot turn its _ generation of people. france simply cannot turn its back _ generation of people. france simply cannot turn its back on _ generation of people. france simply cannot turn its back on any - generation of people. france simply cannot turn its back on any of - generation of people. france simply cannot turn its back on any of its - cannot turn its back on any of its citizens. and president macron needs to fulfil his promise before taking office of making a new compact between the police and the public. failure to do so dooms notjust perhaps this generation but also the next. what lessons were learned after the death of george floyd? here in france but perhaps in america's closest ally, britain. the black lives matter movement seem to find common cause. adina campbell reports from warwickshire in central

leadership can be more equitable. coventry leadership can be more equitable. t�*t coventry campaigners have been reflecting on the last 12 months. the only way we can progress is by generating these conversations. yeah, they've been going on for a long time, the conversations are changing. before it wasjust long time, the conversations are changing. before it was just racism is bad because it is i hate black people. but now it's, were beginning to understand that racism is a system and there's levels to it. it begins as small as a micro aggressions and buyers and now white people are becoming more aware of biases. things i cannot shorten your name, it's too hard to pronounce? the reason we're here in the first place is because people are either an educated or wrongly educated. so we can progress without education. and that is happening. yeah, i had like to think that when i'm older we won't be having the same conversation.— won't be having the same conversation. �* ., , conversation. are we in a better lace a conversation. are we in a better place a year _ conversation. are we in a better place a year on? _ conversation. are we in a better place a year on? i'm _ conversation. are we in a better place a year on? i'm hoping - conversation. are we in a better| place a year on? i'm hoping that --eole place a year on? i'm hoping that people have _ place a year on? i'm hoping that people have taken _

garden, you've earned it. but mind the sunshine, its strong, you've not been used to it for quite some time now, so you may want to consider sunscreen if you're out the whole day. ok, let's have a look at the forecast then. and the warm weather has spread much across the uk but into scandinavia and many other parts of europe as this high pressure continues to build. the winds are light, there's plenty of sunshine, it was a beautiful day on the east coast today. but out towards the west, you can see a little bit more cloud. that cloud is in the process of melting away. so, through this evening and overnight, we are talking about largely clear skies. however, we have got some low cloud in the north sea and a bit of onshore wind, so that does mean by the early hours of sunday morning, it could turn quite overcast and murky on the north sea coast and in fact, all the way down to the kent coast. but elsewhere, it is sunshine from the word go. so, a stunning start to the day across so many parts of the uk but that low grey cloud will be flirting with the north sea coast. so, let's have a closer look.
