this year, the authorities threatened to imprison anyone who attended the vigil. they cited covid—19 restrictions, but it's seen as a part of a wider attack on dissent. some were determined to mark the day. translation: we're taking risks but you have to keep going. - if not, history willjust be rewritten and forgotten. gunfire. hundreds, possibly thousands, were killed when the chinese army opened fire on their own people in 1989. the events have been wiped from the chinese official history, but hong kong remembered. but in the early hours of the morning today, police arrested an organiser of the vigil — it sent a message to those who may have wanted to attend. but in this corner of hong kong, some came out to remember the dead.

the police watched on. richard tsoi is the only organiser of the vigil left. his fellow activists are all behind bars. translation: it hasn't been a year since the national - security law was imposed. over 100 people have been arrested, most are still in custody. it's had a big impact on freedom and human rights. when hong kong was returned to china in 1997, it was promised certain political freedoms. the mass commemoration ofjune 4th came to symbolise the right to criticise the party. onjune 11th 2021, many fear they no longer have the right to remember. danny vincent, bbc news, hong kong. a city—wide celebration will be held in coventry tomorrow, to mark the launch of the uk's city of culture programme. there will be no mass gathering due to covid restrictions, but instead a spectacle of art

and performance live—streamed online throughout the day, as colleen harris reports. it's been a long wait. now coventry is ready. from street theatre to music, preparations are being finalised for tomorrow's launch. welcome to coventry. the city will showcase its cultural heritage, from post—war brutalist architecture to the birth of iconicjaguars. # but when i switch on, i rotate the dial... breathing new life into coventry�*s two—tone legacy is pauline black from �*80s band the selecter. she says the city's year in the cultural spotlight will bring much—needed regeneration and investment. coventry is, if you like, a phoenix rising from the ashes, because of how much it was, you know. _ it was decimated here by the world war ii bombing. it is the youth that is going to take that forward.

but to take it forward, you need to know about your history. so i'm part of that. hundreds of performers and production teams have been rehearsing for months now, putting finishing touches to moments like this that will move through the city. but rather than come to coventry to see it, the message from organisers for now is stay at home and watch from there. the halo i have on right now is inspired by the bicycle wheel, and there was a manufacturing boom of bicycles here. artist and model daniel lismore uses his body as a living work of art. his career has taken him around the world. but his roots are firmly planted in coventry. to my right is where i used to get bullied at a bus stop. i rememberjust thinking, like, "what is there for me?" and then coming back later on, and the city is booming and there are so many amazing things.

the legend of lady godiva, who rode naked on a horse to protest against taxes, plays a central role in the opening. this modern—day godiva is an nhs nurse, campaigning for better pay and ppe during the pandemic. for me, it's about empowerment and ensuring that everyday people, like the community, are empowered to be able to be involved. and giving people opportunities, you know? it's been a challenging feat, planning a cultural programme in a pandemic. concerns about crowds have kept announcements low—key and secret. so a city of surprises awaits. colleen harris, bbc news. that's it. have a very good night. hello. while most parts of the uk got to see sunshine on friday, four eastern areas of england,

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are claire cohen, who's the women's editor at the daily telegraph, and joanna jarjue, the tv and radio commentator. the key both for being with us. —— thank you both for being with us tonight. tomorrow's front pages starting with... the financial times leads on the deal that leading economies are aiming to reach on taxing multinational companies — leaders are hoping to end what the paper calls �*a three—decade race to the bottom in corporate taxation�*. the daily mail reports that channel migrants have been secretly picked up in french waters by the uk border force and taken to dover. the times writes that coronavirus cases have surged by 76% in a week but the government insists there is still no evidence to support a delay to the final stages of reopening onjune 21.

the daily telegraph says the vaccine roll—out is to be accelerated in an attempt to secure a route out of lockdown, with over—40s expected to receive their second jab within eight weeks, rather than 12. the daily mirror reports that children could be given covid jabs within weeks after the pfizer vaccine was ruled safe for ages 12 to 15. the guardian adds that school leaders are calling for pupils to be vaccinated as a matter of priority — after data showed outbreaks of the delta, or so—called indian, variant in schools throughout england. the daily express writes that the health secretary matt hancock reassured the nation that britain's jabs blitz is helping win the battle against new variants. and the sun calls on the prime minister borisjohnson to stick to removing all restrictions on the 21st ofjune. so let's begin... let's ta ke

let's take a look at the times first of all. covid infections surge. that is the headline in the times. but do you make of that? either of you? laughter. i you make of that? either of you? laughter-— you make of that? either of you? laughter. , , ., ., , laughter. i can reply on that. it is a headline that _ laughter. i can reply on that. it is a headline that needs _ laughter. i can reply on that. it is a headline that needs in _ laughter. i can reply on that. it is a headline that needs in picking - laughter. i can reply on that. it is a headline that needs in picking a i a headline that needs in picking a little bit. there has been this urge of 76% in the last week which they are saying is faster than any time since september. —— this urge. but there are nuance of the numbers that no doubt government will be clinging to. the number of elderly patients has dropped in hospitals and the number of admissions which of course is testament to the vaccine programme and issue the younger and less sick people at the times is reporting that are the latest hospital admissions. reporting that are the latest hospitaladmissions. in reporting that are the latest hospital admissions. in less sick than any time during the first and second way. with all that said, we do know the numbers arising and there's been a lot of concern about

new variants and only yesterday there was talk of a new possible nepalese variant although many people have yet thought not to have that yet. what will anger people about this it is still the lack of clarity overjune the 21st. the government is still saying freedom day is going to go ahead but there is no evidence as the times reports, they are saying to change that at all. but in fact, there are rumblings coming out of whitehall in the story that some of these actually there are contingency plans that we might have to still wear a mask indoors in public spaces, we still might have to social distance, so these rumblings afoot that the government continue to insist despite this surge in numbers that there is no evidence. in despite this surge in numbers that there is no evidence.— there is no evidence. in the rumblings _ there is no evidence. in the rumblings of _ there is no evidence. in the rumblings of some - there is no evidence. in the rumblings of some of - there is no evidence. in the rumblings of some of the l there is no evidence. in the - rumblings of some of the paper say that may be are thinking about a dud light ofjust a couple of weeks, july the 5th is one date, that it could be pushed back to because

borisjohnson could be pushed back to because boris johnson wanted could be pushed back to because borisjohnson wanted to be before ever reversible, so if it does happen when it happens, he wants to stick to it,. , ~ , stick to it,. yes. i think this government _ stick to it,. yes. i think this government are _ stick to it,. yes. i think this government are quite - stick to it,. yes. i think this | government are quite known stick to it,. yes. i think this - government are quite known now for backtracking or not implementing things— backtracking or not implementing things early enough. sol backtracking or not implementing things early enough. so i think with this, if— things early enough. so i think with this, if we _ things early enough. so i think with this, if we do need to wait for two weeks _ this, if we do need to wait for two weeks longer, three weeks longer, i don't _ weeks longer, three weeks longer, i don't think_ weeks longer, three weeks longer, i don't think the general public will mind _ don't think the general public will mind that — don't think the general public will mind that much. in the grand scheme of things— mind that much. in the grand scheme of things with them i think the government are more so surging ahead with this _ government are more so surging ahead with this and _ government are more so surging ahead with this and they want to go ahead with this and they want to go ahead with their— with this and they want to go ahead with theirjune 21 reopening because they've _ with theirjune 21 reopening because they've had so much bad press recently. — they've had so much bad press recently, especially with the scandal _ recently, especially with the scandal with the holidays and people having _ scandal with the holidays and people having to _ scandal with the holidays and people having to flock all the way back from _ having to flock all the way back from portugal under short notice. so ithink— from portugal under short notice. so i think right — from portugal under short notice. so i think right now the government are 'ust i think right now the government are just clinging on to anything that will get — just clinging on to anything that will get them good press. thel just clinging on to anything that will get them good press. the i is su: caestin will get them good press. the i is suggesting that — will get them good press. the i is suggesting that the _ will get them good press. the i is suggesting that the road - will get them good press. the i is suggesting that the road map - will get them good press. the i is suggesting that the road map to l suggesting that the road map to freedom does face and overhaul social distancing and hospitality

freedom that will not happen. align; freedom that will not happen. angry with who? it — freedom that will not happen. angry with who? u is — freedom that will not happen. angry with who? it is the _ freedom that will not happen. angry with who? it is the very _ freedom that will not happen. angry with who? it is the very end - freedom that will not happen. angry with who? it is the very end to - freedom that will not happen. angry with who? it is the very end to it, isn't it? the delta variant in the variant that originated in india, we now call it the delta variant. but it is not the prime minister. it is it is not the prime minister. it is the variant- _ it is not the prime minister. it is the variant. and _ it is not the prime minister. it 3 the variant. and clearly the and correct concern around that. that does need to be watched very closely and i think as the telegraph that reports ministers are watching that over the next ten days in the data around hospitalisations or omissions. clearly that is a huge thing, that is the crux of the whole thing. i think people are high and patience is running out. they are it will be thinking to christmas and past and variance are not people will want answers and quicker than intended days or two weeks' time. all of the cases arising, deaths are not really rising. the key thing is hospitalisations and it is whether

second jab much like the over 50s were accelerated a few weeks ago. this comes after yesterday, the institute called for a second doses of pfizer to be accelerated because they produce lower antibody levels against the indian variant, there is huge pressure on that but the over 40s, a lot of them had astrazeneca, but this is an ada fighting the fire variant and fighting it and getting ahead of it and making sure freedom day or freedom they within two weeks ofjuly the 5th is mentioned in this story can actually happen. ministers are taking ten days to look at the data here. it does all feel very familiar. but they did get of the over 50s so hopefully the same can happen for the over 40s. let’s over 50s so hopefully the same can happen for the over 40s.— happen for the over 40s. let's look at the ft. interesting _ happen for the over 40s. let's look at the ft. interesting story - happen for the over 40s. let's look at the ft. interesting story about i at the ft. interesting story about g7, looking like they will crack down on the big profits by the multinationals, people like amazon who have made a huge amount of money
