6:06 am
for the killing of a black person. it's difficult to get that through a court in america today, it has been traditionally for decades. but it has happened, so it does give some people optimism that this certainly is not the end of police brutality and racial problems around the united states. they are systemic, so many. you just have to look back over the modern—day history of the united states. i mean, los angeles, the police beating of rodney king some 30 years ago and then the acquittal of the police officers, three of whom were white, sparked the los angeles riots and decade after decade we hear about more and very similar cases but now we have this very high profile case, a conviction and sentencing that may be the beginning of a new attitude in the united states and we are seeing it in cities and in states around the country and i think all eyes on the federal government, on

the biden administration, to pass a meaningful law and there is a bill going through congress in the name of george floyd that is languishing in congress because of the political divide that we currently are seeing in washington but if passed, it would mean significant and meaningful change that would perhaps change police forces up and down the country for a long time.— country for a long time. peter, for the moment. _ country for a long time. peter, for the moment, thank— country for a long time. peter, for the moment, thank you _ country for a long time. peter, for the moment, thank you very i country for a long time. peter, for. the moment, thank you very much. pressure is mounting on the health secretary matt hancock to resign after pictures — and now cctv footage — emerged of him sharing an intimate embrace with an aide in his office. mr hancock admitted breaching social distancing guidance after the incident was exposed by the sun newspaper. downing street said the prime minister had accepted his apology and considered the matter closed. 0ur political correspondent jonathan blake has more. he has been at the forefront of our government's response to the pandemic, urgent people to follow

6:13 am
murder of george floyd in minneapolis last may. mr floyd has since become a global symbol for the struggle for racial equality, but let's speak now to someone who knew the man behind the picture. patrick ngwolo was george floyd's friend and church pastor. patrick, good morning, thank you for speaking to us again on breakfast this morning. your reaction to the sentencing yesterday?— sentencing yesterday? well, it's interesting- _ sentencing yesterday? well, it's interesting. when _ sentencing yesterday? well, it's interesting. when i— sentencing yesterday? well, it's interesting. when i saw - sentencing yesterday? well, it's interesting. when i saw the i sentencing yesterday? well, it's i interesting. when i saw the number, 22.5, i was not able to make heads or tails of what it meant or its significance. so i looked at the sentencing memorandum that the judge ordered and it was a line there that struck an emotional chord within me. it basically said in shorthand part of the mission of the minneapolis police department is to give citizens voice and respect and here, three rather than pursuing police department's mission treated mr
6:14 am
floyd with not respect and denied him the dignity, the dignity owed him the dignity, the dignity owed him and owed to all human beings. and thejudge basically him and owed to all human beings. and the judge basically said this was one of the contributing factors to why he felt that this number, that seems kind of random, at least to me, 22.5, and i thought that that was what encapsulated the whole case — that all humans are created in the image and the dignity of god and should be given that kind of respect and mr chauvin failed to do that and for whatever sentence he got, should have reflected that. and i was just struck with the fact that the judge was human, i don't know why you — that surprised me, but does make and he felt the same kind of pain that i
6:15 am
felt and so, it did bring some comfort in hearing not only the sentence, which felt arbitrary, i did not know what those numbers were attached to, but what really struck me was the judge's opinion as to why he did what he did. i would be interesting —— interested in your thoughts as to what the legacy of george floyd 's. george floyd was a father. he had family and friends, yourself included. what his death has represented has had reverberations and it is interesting, as you look at what the judge said and what that means to you, whether you think that there has been change or at least a change in thinking. as the world moves on from george floyd's death. mellie in thinking. as the world moves on from george floyd's death. well, if i'm from george floyd's death. well, if i'm honest. — from george floyd's death. well, if i'm honest. i _ from george floyd's death. well, if i'm honest, ithink— from george floyd's death. well, if i'm honest, i think the _ from george floyd's death. well, if i'm honest, i think the judge's i
6:16 am
from george floyd's death. well, if i'm honest, i think thejudge's job, | i'm honest, i think thejudge'sjob, and i guess he would say this himself in his opinion, was to settle this particular case in controversy. i think the issue of systemic racism is something that people and legislatures and laws have to change and while we give, while we are hopeful and thankful that thejudge was while we are hopeful and thankful that the judge was able to cure the illness in this particular instance, during systemic racism is about prevention and not mention —— not merelyjust trying to stop the disease. and i think in our country, we have got to figure out what it looks like for us do not even have situations like george floyd. not needing judges to establish order in cases like george floyd. what does it look like for young black men and

producing light rain and drizzle at times but away from those areas, they will be a reasonable amount of sunshine this afternoon and temperatures into the low 20s, just helping those pollen levels up once again. if you are suffering like me, not a great day for that. temperatures here in the teens and not as chilly or windy than those eastern parts of england compared with yesterday. as we go through this evening and overnight, we finish with rain in the channel islands which will be spreading to devon and cornwall. most will have a dry night, just a few showers down the eastern coastal district. not too chilly today take this into sunday morning. and the bay of biscay and northern france starting to throb more weather fronts. some of you might start dry and sunny and the likelihood is it will become heavy and persistent with the odd reverie —— the rain will become heavy and persistent with the odd rumble of thunder isolated showers,
6:21 am
dry weather and sunshine, particularly towards the west, with temperatures climbing a little bit on today's values. even as we go to next week, same area of low pressure revolving close to england and wales. it is here we are most likely to see showers at times with a bit of sunshine. the further night you are drier and brighter until later in the week and then of course with that in the forecast, a little bit of good news for the wimbledon. a little bit of sunshine. you both. it feels like summer when wimbledon comes, doesn't it?— comes, doesn't it? absolutely! there is a lot of sport _ comes, doesn't it? absolutely! there is a lot of sport to _ comes, doesn't it? absolutely! there is a lot of sport to ingest _ comes, doesn't it? absolutely! there is a lot of sport to ingest today. i is a lot of sport to ingest today. mike will be with us later on. time now for the film review with mark kermode. hello and welcome to the film review
6:22 am
with me, mark kermode, rounding up the best new movies available in cinemas and in the home. back in 2001, director rob cohen's street racing action the fast and the furious proved that nuts and bolts exploitation pics still had a place in the multi—movie market. inspired by a magazine article and shot in and around la, it made a healthy profit on his modest mid—range budgets. two decades later, the fast and furious franchise has become one of the highest grossing film series of all—time, mutating into a globetrotting mission impossible style spies and hiests behemoth, sequels, feature spin offs and an animated tv series and raking in more than $6 billion.
6:23 am
with money like that, it's no surprise we now have fast and furious 9, aka f9, in cinemas, with further instalments in the fast saga hot on its heels. you are a natural. of course i am. family is at the forefront once again with the plot centring on a sibling rivalry between vin diesel and john cena, troubled toretto brothers torn apart by tragedy whose lives took very different directions. while diesel�*s dom became a world—saving legend, cena's jealous jakob reinvented himself as a doctor evil, planning to fritz all the world's computer systems with what looks like a giant lighty—up rubiks cube. to stop him, our heroes must drive
6:24 am
very fast and very furious, wreaking explosive havoc wherever they go, trashing everything in their wake, with no concern for consequences. how do you want to play this? fast. directed by returning series regularjustin lin, this latest instalment turns everything up to eleventy—stupid. with locations ranging from tbilisi, tokyo, london, edinburgh, and outer space. no, really. there is even a sequence that appears to take place in the gap between this world and the next, meaning that if fast ten is going to top it, they will have to get the whole cast to drive through a black hole and start racing each other in another dimension. i don't want to die! as for the action, it is high on octane but low on intelligence, merrily dispensing with basic laws of physics, gravity and most importantly, drama, in search of evermore empty spectacle. i mean, once you have watched vin diesel slingshot his car across a canyon on the end of a piece of string while another
6:25 am
car is caught midair by a plane, it's hard to believe any of these characters is in any realjeopardy, especially when one character who died in a previous instalment suddenly turns up miraculously alive because, urgh, twitter. indeed so farcical is the core team's captain scarlet—like ability to survive being shot at, blown up, burned, drowned, crushed, smashed, bashed, dropped and pummeled that their invisibility actually becomes a running gag. as for everyone else, well, civilian casualties don't seem to count in the fast universe, meaning anybody who isn't a movie star winds up being disposable cannon fodder. for emotional heft, you have to make do with these doing that vin diesel mouthy pout thing that is his one dramatic expression that can be used to signify pain, loss, happiness, grief, excitement, boredom, agitation and probably indigestion. other than that, there's a bunch of cameos, an end credits teaser and a whole lot of product placement for a popular mexican beer.
6:26 am
believe me, after nearly 2.5 hours of this brain pummeling nonsense, you'll welcome an adult beverage or two. fast and furious 9 is in cinemas everywhere now. for something a little less bananas and a little more substantial, check out the korean historical thriller the man standing next in which director woo min—ho revisits the events leading up to the assassination of president park in 1979. lee byung—hun is kim, director of the kcia, whose predecessor is in the us spilling secrets. sent to silence his friend and retrieve the manuscript for his tell—all memoir, kim finds himself in the middle of a labyrinthine web of intrigue in which nobody is to be trusted and everybody is a potential threat.
6:27 am
all this plays out against a backdrop of mounting protests in korea against park's dictatorial regime and pressure from the us to do something about the president. a slick blend of fact and fiction, the stylist political thriller was south korea's entry for the best international feature oscar at the 93rd academy awards. it may not have made the oscar shortlist but don't let that put you off. the man standing next is genuinely gripping fare, fuelled by the same kind of 70s paranoia that underwrote american hits like the conversation and the parallax view, but given a distinctively chilly sinewy edge by the director. it's available in virtual cinemas now and on digital download from july the 5th. from korea to poland with sweat, which boasts an outstanding central performance by magdalena wlodarski as fitness instructor and social media star sylvia.
6:28 am
in public, sylvia is an insta icon, an influencer beloved by her fans, but in private it is a different story, with sylvia's sense of rejection bolstered by everything from the disapproving coldness of her mother to the sinister attentions of a stalker. the only really intimate relationship sylvia seems to share is with their phone, posting personal messages to the virtual world. yet even here the cracks are starting to show, with on—camera tears merely increasing sylvia's celebrity. ironically adding to her state of isolation. written and directed with propulsive energy by swedish film—maker magnus von horn, sweat paints a compelling portrait
6:29 am
of a modern malaise. crucially, sylvia remains in ambiguous figure throughout, her apparent narcissism counterbalanced by a subtle sympathy for her predicament, with kolesnik and von horn leaving it up to the audience to decide how and whether tojudge her, a very impressive balancing act. sweat is in cinemas and on curzon home cinema now. in the '60s horror classic rosemary's baby from the satirical novel, mia farrow plays a pregnant woman who believes her nearest and dearest are conspiring to trap her and her baby in a systemic plot. there's more than a hint of rosemary's baby in the new british chiller kindred in which tamara lawrence's pregnant charlotte finds herself in prison of a stately mansion by the mother of her partner, ben.
6:30 am
we've, er, we've decided that we are moving. well, that is good. but we're moving to australia. excuse me? fiona shaw is margaret, the creepy matriarch who insist that her grandchild will be born in her house despite charlotte and ben's plans to move to the other side of the world. jack lowden is thomas, whose devotion to his stepmother would provoke in approving smile from norman bates. someone help! we did everything we could. i'm sorry. from suspicious cups of tea to a sinister local doctor, so much of kindred seems familiar that it would be easy to dismiss it as simply a modern knock—off of a timeless classic. but director and co—writer joe marcantonio manages to breathe new life into these old riffs, hinting at the supernatural through threatening murmurations of birds, but keeping the drama firmly rooted in reality,
6:31 am
suggesting that everything charlotte fears may be in her mind. you're not well. you don't even seem to realise that. plaudits to lawrence for conveying her character's mounting sense of claustrophobia, drawing us deep into her panic inducing helplessness. as for shaw, she's terrific as the imposing figure who can be grieving one minute and grieveless next. you can find kindred on sky cinema and now tv. i'll leave you with news of supernova, in which colin firth and stanley tucci play long—time partners sam and tusker. you always seem somehow to get your own way, don't you? come on, it's cosy. no, it's ridiculous. it's nice. you're in the middle of the fair. i'm on the edge. now i'm more on the edge. laughter. having been diagnosed with young onset dementia, writer tusker has neglected
6:32 am
to bring his meds on their campervan holiday, to the exasperation and musician sam, who has a recital ahead of him. after the concert, sam intends to call it a day and dedicate his every waking moment to tusker, but tusker has other plans, determined to be the master of his fate, taking matters of life and death into his own hands. i want to be remembered for who i was and not for who i'm about to become. harry macqueen, who made the 2014 hinterland, described supernova as an attempt to make a film about what we are willing to do for the people we love. and how we live in a love and laugh even as we near the end of our time. and that's where the milky way is. that may sound toe curling but supernova has plenty of low—key charm and humour, thanks in large part to the effectively natural and crucially understated performances of the leads. for all its apparently awards—friendly subject matter, supernova is more of a bittersweet break—up movie than a hot topic
6:33 am
illness of the week drama. a love story that lifts its entertaining riffs from rom—coms an odd couple and road movies with engaging results. supernova is in cinemas now. that's it for this week. thanks for watching the film review. stay safe. next week, it's anna smith. i'll be back in a fortnight. i don't even know why i do it because it really isn't even satisfying any more half the time. so why do you do it? because of the other half. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. good morning to you! just after half past six, saturday morning, and i know where you are going to begin but there is so much going on! one of the biggest matches in wales's history in terms of major
6:34 am
tournaments, only the third time they have been involved in the knockout phase of a major tournament, since 1958 and then 2016 when they got to the semi—finals but now the knockout phase means extra time, they are one of cup finals if you like and it is huge and on this massive day for wales and amsterdam they will need to draw on all of the strength they have got this siege mentality, if you like, that has served them so well so far. while there'll be plenty of support for wales back home, it will be denmark who will have the big backing inside the stadium with the netherlands currently barring non—essential visitors from the uk. howell griffith has more. their team motto is always together stronger and in this tournament, welsh resilience has won them a place in the next round. but can they go further? the captain relishes the opportunity. it’s they go further? the captain relishes the opportunity. it's nice to keep testing — relishes the opportunity. it's nice to keep testing yourself - relishes the opportunity. it's nice to keep testing yourself on - relishes the opportunity. it's nice to keep testing yourself on the i to keep testing yourself on the highest level. you enjoy these games and this is why we want to be in football, to play especially for our country and the best against it has

6:37 am
there was bitter disappointment last night for mo farah, who failed in his final attempt to qualify for the tokyo olympics, where he wanted to defend his 10,000m title. he was running in a special trial at the british athletics championships in manchester. our senior sports news reporter laura scott, was watching. there is mo farah. one last chance to make the plane to tokyo 2020. and mo farah's task was clear does make one the 10,000 metres inside 27 minutes and 28 seconds and he would qualify. flanked by pacemakers on the start line, the four time olympic champion had no shortage of motivation. he is the reigning 10,000 metres champion, a title he won in thrilling style five years ago in rio. the last few years have not been easy for him, having retired from the track in 2017, switched the marathon on that after limited success returned to the truck in 2019. he has also split with his long—time coach roberto salazar who was banned for doping
6:38 am
violations. farah has never been accused of any wrongdoing himself and 38 was adamant he could still go toe to toe with the's best. but his performance on the track last night suggested otherwise, missing the olympic qualifying time by 19 seconds, the clocks no longer his side. afterwards, he stood by the decisions he's made over the last few years. decisions he's made over the last few ears. �* ., decisions he's made over the last few years- decisions he's made over the last few ears. �* ., . ., ., , few years. i've not changed anything in m self few years. i've not changed anything in myself and _ few years. i've not changed anything in myself and in _ few years. i've not changed anything in myself and in my _ few years. i've not changed anything in myself and in my career, - few years. i've not changed anything in myself and in my career, i'm - in myself and in my career, i'm lucky to have, you know, so many medals my career and i have four olympic medals. at that point, as an athlete, you know, when you are so good at something, you always does make that is what makes us a champion, you have to try a new event and get excited and work on it and if it comes overnight, everybody would be winning, you know? so you have to take a step back and see what wonderful career i've had. and for me i don't regret any, any part of my career, you know? it was not to try the marathon runner, european record, british record, and to learn about it but at the same time, i

down the leaderboard at the women's pga championship in atlanta. she shot a 71 in the second round to move to 5—under par, so a steady performance from hull, but she's six shots behind the american nelly korda, who's out in front after a 63. a decision whether to postpone the rugby league world cup will be made next week. it's due to take place in england in october but there are issues regarding teams travelling from australia and new zealand, and it won't go ahead without them. last night, england played their first game under new head coach shaun wane, but it ended in a 26—24 defeat to a combined all stars team in warrington. it isa it is a massive day as well for england's women. they were outstanding, though, as they also prepare for the world cup. they ran in 11 tries in a 60—0 victory over wales, who were competing in their first international test. soa so a milestone for the welsh women there. and today is a huge day in rugby union with the premiership final, english premiership final,

"how can he cling on?" is the question asked by the daily mail. the paper says there is a furious backlash following mr hancock's refusal to quit.
6:43 am
and the daily mirror follows its red top rival using a large picture of the kiss. a little look at some of the insides and i will pick up on the wimbledon theme, a feature piece in the guardian with an interview with sally wilton who is wimbledon's chief executive and obviously, what an extraordinary year this is for them because they have been thinking how could they open the championships? it is such a symbol. a symbol of british summer, wimbledon is here and all of those things. she speaks about the mechanics of how it is working and the famous kuwait exist and the numbers... the famous kuwait exist and the numbers- - -_ the famous kuwait exist and the numbers- - -— the famous kuwait exist and the numbers... �* , , ., numbers... are they staggering the wait times that _ numbers... are they staggering the wait times that people _ numbers... are they staggering the wait times that people come - numbers... are they staggering the wait times that people come in -- l wait times that people come in —— queue won't. wait times that people come in -- queue won't-— wait times that people come in -- cueue won't.

6:46 am
wimbledon. it won't be a washout by any means but they could be a few interruptions, showers push in. parts of essex and the east of london with severe storms around and potential tornadoes. lots of damage. a similar sort of sky across parts of the midlands but today is looking a little bit quieter. they will still be some —— they will still be some sharp showers. southern counties of england, maybe south wales, rain will put up from the south. it will all come courtesy of this area of low pressure. wrapped around that at the moment is a decaying weather front. it was on that we saw the decaying rain —— decaying weather. through parts of scotland and eastern northern ireland, very far north of england. hill fog, patchy light rain and drizzle. the cloud should break up. showers and wales and south—west england at the moment, one or two will crop up elsewhere. sunshine in between and it won't be quite as

severe as yesterday. once the sun is out, it will feel pleasantly warm. not as chilly down the eastern coast of scotland and north—east england. the pollen levels are kept at bay but not a great day for hay fever set —— sufferers. it is grass pollen which gets your nose running across england and wales. going into this evening and overnight, finishing the day with persistent rain in the channel islands which will enter its way into the likes of cornwall and devon. away from that, a bit of cloud and eastern areas, many will be dry with temperatures... the big picture for sunday shows an area of low pressure still around, starting to push the weather front back northwards. even if you start dry and bright across southern counties of england, the chances are it will turn wetter through the day, particularly through the afternoon. throughout the work south—west. rain could be heavy in bunbury, edging towards south wales. one or two showers north of that. a fair bit of cloud but most places will be dry.
6:48 am

6:52 am
but there's been a lot of opposition to the games there because of the pandemic. ros atkins has been looking into the arguments on both sides. think back to september 2013. tokyo. cheering. this was a simpler time when olympic bid cities had to make their case to host the games, then make their case back back home that the billions were worth spending. now, though, there's covid. translation: it's not normal to hold the games during a pandemic. - but that is what they're trying to do. that's the head of the japanese government's advisory panel. and he's not alone. one recent poll found that 65% of people injapan want the games cancelled or postponed. they may have been listening to one of japan's most senior virologists, professor hitoshi oshitani. he told the times...
6:53 am
this is the risk that's being taken. and some are asking, "for what?" the games are, yes, about the thrill of competition, but they're also about the global exchange of athletes and spectators being together. the shared moments of victory and defeat. in tokyo, some local spectators will be allowed. but this is what they can expect. there will be staggered entry and exits at all the venues, all of the stadiums. and, when they're inside, all of the spectators will have to wear masks, and they won't be allowed to shout or scream to encourage their favourite competitors or team. and they won't even be allowed to talk loudly, either. it's one of the reasons why some
6:54 am
have described these olympics as "joyless". given they've yet to start, perhaps it's too early to draw that conclusion. and make no mistake, these games are going ahead. the stadiums are all set. the torch relay is making its way across japan. and athletes have started to arrive — many more will do so in the coming days. and the organisers are fully committed. just like the athletes, we are preparing for these games with so much concentration and focus. we are also getting ready for this final sprint. but why is this final sprint happening while so many covid concerns exist? why are these games going ahead? well, it's a story of politics, of money spent, of sporting endeavourand, perhaps, a desire to hold onto the things that we had before covid. it's a question we're all wrestling with in our own lives — what's a reasonable risk? what's safe and what isn't?
6:55 am
we'll come to that in a minute. but let's start with the money. this is my colleague rupert wingfield—hayes in tokyo... the ioc argues its revenues are a global good. its website tells us that, between 2013—16, it brought in $5.7 billion us, and that every day, the ioc distributes about $3.4 million around the world to help athletes and sporting organisations. and this money creates great power for the ioc. but if a games don't happen, there'sjeopardy, too. 73% of the ioc�*s revenues come from broadcast rights. so, if there's no sport to show, someone will get a bill. this article on the nikkei website has the headline...
6:56 am
and on that, here's a member of the japanese olympic committee saying... and if we look at the host city contract, signed by the ioc, the city of tokyo, and the japanese olympic committee, to some extent it pecks at that point. ——to some extent it backs at that point. it details how the ioc can terminate the games in certain circumstances — but not the other parties. because of this, ifjapan did cancel, it may be liable for lost revenue also. but this is not as simple as the ioc forcing tokyo to continue. the japanese government has its own reasons for wanting to carry on. it's already spent billions preparing for these games — it's already going to lose millions because overseas spectators can't come. would it really want a further blow to its finances of cancelling? and it's notjust about the money —
6:57 am
it's about politics, too. this is the prime minister yoshihide suga who faces an election later this year — and, despite current sentiment, he might be hoping for an olympic boost. as professorjack anderson at the university of melbourne puts it... because this is about national pride. and if these games are in tokyo, well, look where the winter olympics will be in 2022 — beijing. regional rivalries means that japan really doesn't want to cancel, and then watch the chinese set piece play out months later. so that's money and politics — two reasons to go ahead. and let's not forget the people at the heart of this — the athletes. they've put in months, even years into this moment. translation: we've all trained hard, and it doesn't really matter _ whether our fans are there or not. we will give our best because olympia is olympia.
6:58 am
cancelling would mean undercutting the efforts of thousands of athletes. it's another reason to go ahead. and put all that together — money, politics, sporting endeavour — and you still come up against the biggest issue — covid. let me show you the key data. during the pandemic, japan has recorded over 780,000 cases. by comparison, the uk has had over 4.5 million. there have been over 14,000 covid deaths injapan. in the uk, it's more than 128,000. in this is japan's infection rate — since mid—may, the overall trend is down. so, better news. but there are three causes of concern. first, vaccines. 19% of people injapan have had at least one vaccine. in the uk, the figure is 64%. japan's vaccine roll—out is a long way behind many of the world's richest countries, and its lower number
6:59 am
of overall cases mean lower immunity within the population is a possibility. the second concern is variants. the delta variant is well on its way to becoming the dominant variant globally because of its significantly increased transmissibility. and all that feeds into the third concern — the daily infection rate in tokyo. on 21 june, the daily average over the previous seven days was just under 400. but the head of the tokyo medical association says the rate needs to be below 100 to hold the games safely. to this, they point to what they're doing. this is the president of the organising committee. translation: it is my conviction that when people understand - there are no firmer measures we could be taking to prevent the spread of coronavirus, attitudes will change to say it is ok to have the games. maybe they will. public opinion injapan is shifting. but that may be less to do
7:00 am
with an uplift in olympic spirit and more to do with resignation. people are starting to accept the fact that the event will probably go ahead regardless of their opinion. the games do now look inevitable — but the question of whether this is the right thing to do remains. it's a question other sports are facing. the euros football tournament's under way right now. and, as it heads into the knockout stages, there are questions about whether the final should be in the uk at wembley, considering the prevalence of the delta variant. and if that's football, this is the perspective of dr andrew murray, chief medical officer for golf�*s european tour. sport has got an ability to inspire and provide hope. and that's what the world health organization and ioc and others will be looking at. they'll be looking at the risk associated with the coronavirus and the benefits associated with these events. well, they have looked at the risks, considered the pros and the cons —
7:01 am
and they've decided the show goes on. or, as dick pound, one of the most senior figures at the ioc, told the evening standard in may... the thing is, though, the last 18 months have been full of events we didn't see and didn't anticipate. the risk is that the impact of the tokyo games on the pandemic will also fall into that category. we'll know soon enough. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: the court commits you to the custody of the commissioner of corrections for a period of 270 months — that's two seven zero. 22.5 years injailfor the police officer who murdered george floyd, whose family and supporters describe the sentence as a slap on the wrist justice would've been george floyd never have been killed.
7:02 am
justice would've been the maximum. the health secretary matt hancock under pressure to resign after pictures emerged of him kissing an aide in his office in breach of covid guidance. good morning. there's no holding back now and the gloves are off — the message from the wales manager to his players as they get ready for the first knock out match of euro 2020 against denmark this evening. this is why we want to be in football, to play — especially for our country — in the big games, test ourselves to play in the big tournaments. we want to try to do as best we can. and the 4—time olympic champion mo farah says he's in shock and will consider his future after failing to qualify for next month's olympic games in tokyo. and while today we can see a few sharp showers around, tomorrow it looks like something a bit wetter pushing into southern counties of england and wales. i'll have your full forecast right here on breakfast.
7:03 am
good morning. it's saturday, the 26th ofjune. our top story: the former us police officer who murdered george floyd in minneapolis last year has been sentenced to 22.5 years in prison. some of mr floyd's family and supporters said the sentence handed to derek chauvin wasn't long enough. the prosecution had demanded 30 years in prison, but president biden said the term seemed appropriate. here's our north america correspondent peter bowes. a final day in court for george floyd's family and the man guilty of his murder, derek chauvin, to be sentenced for a crime that sparked protests across the country. this was the family's opportunity to express their thoughts as they search for closure. george floyd's daughter, seven—year—old gianna, appeared first on video, too young to fully understand the tragic events of the past year, she talked about the father she no longer had. i miss you and i love you. when it came to the sentencing, the judge his decision was not based on emotion or public opinion, but the law.
7:04 am
the sentence for count one — the court commits you to the custody of the commissioner of corrections for a period of 270 months. hands up, right now! let me see your other hand! 22.5 years for his role in this — the arrest of george floyd, caught on camera by a bystander, in a sequence of events that resulted in his murder. pinned to the ground for more than nine minutes by derek chauvin, crying out that he could not breathe. i can't breathe. a scene that still haunts terrence floyd, george's brother, who struggled to speak as he addressed chauvin directly. i wanted to know from the man himself why. what were you thinking? what was going through your head when you had your knee on my brother's neck? but there were to be no answers from the former officer, who expressed little emotion, even as his mother vouched
7:05 am
for his character. it has been difficult for me to hear and read what the media, public and prosecution team believe derek to be — an aggressive, heartless and uncaring person. i can tell you that is far from the truth. finally, but briefly, derek chauvin addressed the court. do want to give my condolences to the floyd family. this right here is — this 22—year sentence they gave this man — it's a slap on the wrist. we're getting a life sentence with not having him in our life and that hurts me to death. the reverend al sharpton, a long—time civil rights activist, put chauvin's 22.5—year prison term in context. this sentencing is the longest sentence we've seen, but it is notjustice because george floyd is in a grave tonight, even though chauvin will be in jail.
7:06 am
president biden gave his reaction to the sentence from the white house. well, i don't know all the circumstances that were considered but it seems to me, under the guidelines, that seems to be appropriate. one down, three to go! three other officers involved in the arrest of george floyd are still to face their day in court. but with the sentencing of derek chauvin, there is hope that america has reached a turning point in the fight for racialjustice. peter bowes, bbc news. pressure is mounting on the health secretary matt hancock to resign after pictures — and now cctv footage — emerged of him sharing an intimate embrace with an aide in his office. mr hancock admitted breaching social distancing guidance after the incident was exposed by the sun newspaper. downing street said the prime minister had accepted his apology and considered the matter closed. our political correspondent jonathan blake has more. he has been at the forefront
7:07 am
of the government's response to the pandemic, urging people to follow the rules. keep doing your bit. remember the basics — hands, face, space and fresh air. but matt hancock is now under intense political pressure for going against his government's guidance. yesterday's revelations in the sun that he was pictured kissing and embracing a close aide in his departmental office last month have led to accusations of hypocrisy and calls for him to quit. the question is can matt hancock do his job? do thatjob? he might stay in office but can he do hisjob? and i think it is fatally compromised in a situation where he does not seem to abide by the evidence that he wants us to follow, which is critical to our safety and making sure that this third wave isn't much bigger than we feared. matt hancock either needs to resign, or if he is not willing to do that then the prime minister must remove him from his post. this isn't just a question of yet
7:08 am
again a conservative mp disobeying those rules and thinking that they only apply to the rest of us, it's a case where we've seen cronyism on cronyism. labour are demanding an investigation into how gina coladangelo was appointed to the board at the department of health and accused mr hancock of breaking the ministerial code, but cabinet ministers are backing the health secretary. matt has apologised. he's clearly said that he made a mistake, he regrets that, and the prime minister has accepted that, considers the matter closed. very clearly, there is still a huge task for the country and matt as health secretary, us all in cabinet, we need to get on with thatjob. matt hancock's credibility and authority have taken a big hit, but the prime minister has shown no sign of sacking him and says he considers the matter closed. the government's opponents disagree. jonathan blake, bbc news. our political correspondent helen catt is in our
7:09 am
london newsroom. helen, downing street may consider the matter closed, but this issue is showing no signs of going away. that is not what the rest of the uk or its media i thinking?— or its media i thinking? downing street keen to _ or its media i thinking? downing street keen to draw— or its media i thinking? downing street keen to draw a _ or its media i thinking? downing street keen to draw a line - or its media i thinking? downing street keen to draw a line underj street keen to draw a line under this with the prime minister say he has accepted matt hancock's apology and considers the matter closed but labour and the other opposition parties do not agree and are keeping up parties do not agree and are keeping up the pressure here and there are questions remaining over how they say ms coladangelo was appointed in the first place and as you said it takes one quick look at the newspaper front pages this morning, yesterday's picture from the sun is on virtually all of them, so yesterday michael voss i certainly in the media the matter is not closed and part of whether matt hancock will continue in his role, part of it will depend on how long does that continue, governments tend not to like individual ministers becoming distractions from the overall work of government. there is also likely to be pressure too
7:10 am
potentially pressure and a lot of it will be on what pressure comes from inside the conservative party and at the moment there does not feel like there is a huge swell of mps saying he cannot continue, he has got to 90, he cannot continue, he has got to go, but i think a lot will depend on what they are hearing from constituents over the weekend and if you think back to dominic cummings last year when he made the trip to barnard castle, speaking to mps then, their inboxes were overwhelmed by people angry, the same sort of criticism is being levelled at him as a now being levelled at matt hancock, this idea of hypocrisy of the people who are making and setting the guidance, the rules, not been following them themselves. so i think it will depend on what the public reaction is for mps as to what they are saying to boris johnson and to matt hancock himself and i think i could play a big part is what our colleagues privately and quietly saying to him over coming days. quietly saying to him over coming da s. . ~ quietly saying to him over coming da s. ., ~ rescue teams in miami are continuing their search for survivors after an apartment block collapsed two days ago, but the state governor has also called for a timely explanation of the cause.
7:11 am
the number of people unaccounted for now stands at 159 and four deaths have been confirmed. officials say the 40—year—old building was due for repairs, but the reason for the collapse remains unclear. the australian city of sydney has started a two—week period of lockdown because of a covid outbreak. phil mercerjoins us from sydney. good morning to you. looking at it from where we are in the uk, the numbers look relatively low but they've taken immediate and pretty drastic action. tell us more. since the pandemic— drastic action. tell us more. since the pandemic began, _ drastic action. tell us more. since the pandemic began, australia - drastic action. tell us more. ’5 rice: the pandemic began, australia has recorded just over 30,000 coronavirus cases, 910 people have died and for most of this year, but here in sydney were beginning to live a life that resembled one before the pandemic but a week or so ago, a cluster of cases was discovered in the bondi area of sydney. that was linked to a
7:12 am
limousine driver working at sydney's international airport. so for the next fortnight the people of sydney and also large areas to the north, south and west will be under strict stay—at—home orders. this lockdown really does highlight two major problems that australian authorities are confronting. firstly, in march of last year, australia closed its international borders most foreign nationals but this outbreak seems to have come from a worker at the airport again shows that there are weaknesses in australia's defence at the border, trying to keep covid—19 out of this country and also it highlights the slow vaccination rollout in australia, less than 5% of australians are vaccinated and epidemiologists say that is leaving australia wide open to these sorts of clusters and wide open to these sorts of lockdown.—

joins us from reading. i don't know if you were listening in, you will know about these poppen centres. it is important, isn't it? this is about bringing it closer to people and inviting more people it who might otherwise be thinking... absolutely. and i think most people who find keeping a diary, you don't even know what is going to happen in the next six hours, let alone six weeks. the fact they can just turn up weeks. the fact they can just turn up now is going to make a huge difference. there is also a feel of a real drive now and what we have found in young people is a lot of them are asking whether they need to be vaccinated. all the vulnerable people are vaccinated, that is sorted and love the light —— hospitalisations are coming down so why do i need to bother. and what we have to remember is that that group of the under 50s going all the way down to the teams and the early 20s
7:19 am
arcs still going to be a massive reading ground of the virus, particularly come winter, which will affect those people that have had the vaccination were vulnerable but actually may not have full coverage because we know it is not 100%. the difference it makes to have all of those people in their teens and in their 20s vaccinated, it makes a huge difference to the threats in the vulnerable. it is not for them so much, although it will prevent long covid, it is very much for the other vulnerable people so it does make a difference and i think that message needs to come through. i have to say, i think the young people have really taken this on and there is some hesitancy but not as much as we expected, definitely not as much as other countries. ieii much as we expected, definitely not as much as other countries.- as much as other countries. tell us more about — as much as other countries. tell us more about the _ as much as other countries. tell us more about the pressures - as much as other countries. tell us more about the pressures on - as much as other countries. tell us more about the pressures on gp i more about the pressures on gp surgeries. what are you seeing? what is the daily business of your gp surgery like at the moment? the rcgp have 'ust surgery like at the moment? the rcgp have just got — surgery like at the moment? the rcgp have just got figures _ surgery like at the moment? the rcgp have just got figures that _ surgery like at the moment? the rcgp have just got figures that have - surgery like at the moment? the rcgp have just got figures that have come i have just got figures that have come out and it shows a 34% increase in administration. that is all the referral letters and all of the
7:20 am
administration that gps had to do. since 2019. if you look at the same period, last year was obviously very different, that is an increase in that workload and an eight cent increase in clinical workload so that shows we are seeing a lot more patients now than we were back in 2019, before the pandemic, and we have noticed, particularly in the out of hours, it is really, really busy. we're looking at days more the middle of winter than the middle of summer and a middle of winter than the middle of summerand a lot middle of winter than the middle of summer and a lot of it is childhood illnesses. a lot of it is people who have children who have temperatures. and for some reason, and i think it is because of covid, people are phoning up the one—on—one service or coming to see their gp children with temperatures because they are worried and that is quite understandable. but very often it has only been a few hours they have a temperature and what we're trying to say is if you have a child that has a temperature, or they have a cold or they are ill, you can often just sort this out going on to 111,
7:21 am
the website, nhs, to sort that out. at the moment, i think because of the anxiety, people are coming which we are happy to cope with but we are only able to cope with a certain number. bill only able to cope with a certain number. j ., , , ., number. all of these things are linked, aren't _ number. all of these things are linked, aren't they, _ number. all of these things are linked, aren't they, it _ number. all of these things are linked, aren't they, it rings i number. all of these things are i linked, aren't they, it rings actors are issue of vaccinating children. elsewhere in the world, not yet here. what are your thoughts around that? i here. what are your thoughts around that? «j , ., here. what are your thoughts around that? ~ , ., ., , that? i think it is a really difficult _ that? i think it is a really difficult decision - that? i think it is a really difficult decision to i that? i think it is a really. difficult decision to make. that? i think it is a really - difficult decision to make. if you look at the maths, and take all of the everything out of it and just look at the maths, we have pushed the virus from vaccinating the adults into the children so the virus will learn how to be distributed amongst children and then obviously into some adults who haven't had the vaccination. if you do the maths you really have to vaccinate children in order to reach —— really stamp out pandemic and make it an endemic. but, there are still issues about vaccinating
7:22 am
children. if that evidence come through from the countries that have been doing it and it shows real safety positive results then i think from the science, if we're going to protect everybody and get life back to as much normal, then children probably will have to be. but that is going to a difficult decision stop i wouldn't want to make it but i feel like i would wait for that safety to really come through before let's say, i was going to give it to my children. if i was told that, i would absolutely go ahead and do it, like all of the other vaccinations we give children. we like all of the other vaccinations we give children.— like all of the other vaccinations we give children. we will have to wait and see _ we give children. we will have to wait and see what _ we give children. we will have to wait and see what happens i we give children. we will have to wait and see what happens in i wait and see what happens in relation to that. good to talk to you today, thank you very much. brilliant, thank you. i do you today, thank you very much. brilliant, thank you.— you today, thank you very much. brilliant, thank you. i do en'oy our gps. brilliant, thank you. i do en'oy our tats. they — brilliant, thank you. i do en'oy our tats. they fl brilliant, thank you. i do en'oy our gps. they are friends i brilliant, thank you. i do en'oy our gps. they are friends ofi brilliant, thank you. i do enjoy our gps. they are friends of the i gps. they are friends of the programme now.— gps. they are friends of the programme now. gps. they are friends of the ttroramme now. ., ., ., ., programme now. there are a lot of thints programme now. there are a lot of things that — programme now. there are a lot of things that happened _ programme now. there are a lot of things that happened during - programme now. there are a lot of things that happened during the i programme now. there are a lot of. things that happened during the week stop in relation to a number of changes, pressures on the nhs, talking about children, otherwise they might have ignored things. ihea;t

7:24 am
scott england stop some of the cloud sitting on the hills and further rain at times which will break a bit further west. showers at the moment in wales and south—west england on and off but brightest guys in between. one or two showers popping up between. one or two showers popping up elsewhere as we go into the afternoon but nowhere near as heavy or severe as we saw yesterday and a bit more sunshine. that will lift the sunshine into the low to definitely 20s quite widely. not as chilly chilly in eastern scotland or north england compared to yesterday. the winds are lighter but high or very high across england and wales where you have the sunshine coming out and those temperatures climbing. finishing the day with persistent rain in the challenge —— channel islands. that will push into devon and cornwall. some spots of rain and drizzle but clear skies in the west. temperatures generally in double figures as we start sunday. the weather system and across the bay of biscay and northern france pushes northwards and that means southern counties of england and wales, it is
7:25 am
going to be a case of even if you start dry and bright, it is going to start dry and bright, it is going to start cloudier and wetter and some of the rain could be heavy and even bunbury. north of that, as far —— fair bit of cloud with a few showers dotted here and there in the west and north, a good deal of sunshine and north, a good deal of sunshine and it will feel warmer still compared with today. temperatures up to around 20— 22 degrees. a showery week to come next week. that is how it is looking. it is 7:25am. it's now more than 48 hours since a block of flats collapsed in miami, florida. despite an intense rescue effort, 159 people remain unaccounted for — and four deaths have been confirmed. it's still a rescue operation for now but the focus will soon turn to the cause. veronica zaragovia is a journalist with the radio station wlrn. shejoins us now from miami. veronica, thank you very much for
7:26 am
talking to us. you have been following this. what can you tell us about what has been happening? the about what has been happening? iij: numbers, we have been informed, have remained about the same, so there are 159 people who are missing, 120 who are unaccounted for and four people will have died —— 120 who are accounted for. the investigation into how this could have happened will take a long time so we don't know yet the cause but we do know that this building was due for its recertification and there are a lot of concerns about environmental factors and how salt and saltwater, how the cement that was used was
7:27 am
eroded by elements like salt so there are a lot of questions and we are still awaiting information. flan are still awaiting information. can ou tell are still awaiting information. can you tell us _ are still awaiting information. can you tell us more, for viewers in the uk, tell us about the area and people that are living in that luck of flats and the community there. absolutely. this is a beachfront town and it is very small, about 6000 people live there. and about eight locks, as we measured in the us. it is a very small area. people really, really know each other because it is also a pedestrian friendly area and people have been telling me they walk along, they walk everywhere and stacey each other and they all know people who were staying in the unit or living
7:28 am
there. it is a mixture of ages. certainly a lot of older residents, also family, youngerfamilies. there is a very strong jewish community and thejewish communities, and neighbouring cities, have been leading the efforts of collecting donations and distributing them. so it is a very tight community. veronica, thank you very much. talking to us from miami. lots of sport coming up later on with mike. looking at the weather as well which is related to the sport. time now for a story about british visitors to france being ordered to quarantine on arrival — but this one has nothing to do with coronavirus.
7:29 am
the visitors in question are racing pigeons — and their owners say they're being caught up in red tape created by brexit. liz roberts has the details. mick mcgreevy has been keeping racing pigeons since he was 12 years old. and they get around.— old. and they get around. getting dteons old. and they get around. getting ttieons to old. and they get around. getting pigeons to fly _ old. and they get around. getting pigeons to fly in _ old. and they get around. getting pigeons to fly in the _ old. and they get around. getting pigeons to fly in the air— old. and they get around. getting pigeons to fly in the air for- old. and they get around. getting pigeons to fly in the air for the i pigeons to fly in the air for the international races, barcelona is 852 miles. j , ., international races, barcelona is 852 miles-— 852 miles. and it is a big part of his life. wan— 852 miles. and it is a big part of his life. will probably _ 852 miles. and it is a big part of his life. will probably be - 852 miles. and it is a big part of his life. will probably be about i 852 miles. and it is a big part of| his life. will probably be about 12 weekends, orsome his life. will probably be about 12 weekends, or some of the weekends, weekends, or some of the weekends, we would have two races on, maybe three. we would have a cup rates out of france, a national race, a british international champion race. it is the be all and end all, presumably, as far as i am concerned. and that is all come to an end and it is all because of new eu animal health legislation which means the animals will need a health certificate and to be quarantined from 21 days on arrival. the government says the eu commission has recently agreed to allow racing
7:30 am
pigeons into europe until the 20th of october but eu nations are allowed to apply their own rules and france still requires health certification and quarantine in most places. which people say it makes racing impossible. the environment secretary george eustice, is it that you need to take action. it secretary george eustice, is it that you need to take action.— you need to take action. it got cautht you need to take action. it got caught up _ you need to take action. it got caught up in — you need to take action. it got caught up in x _ you need to take action. it got caught up in x -- _ you need to take action. it got caught up in x -- import i you need to take action. it got. caught up in x -- import export caught up in x —— import export rules which were not designed for racing. we want to take this problem seriously and [end the governmentweight of the campaign, get hold of the french, get them to drop their rules and help us at a new agreement with the european union which should have been sought out as part of those long brexit negotiations but it has been overlooked.— negotiations but it has been overlooked. ~ , , , ., overlooked. mick says his birds are vaccinated. — overlooked. mick says his birds are vaccinated, and _ overlooked. mick says his birds are vaccinated, and pose _ overlooked. mick says his birds are vaccinated, and pose no _ overlooked. mick says his birds are vaccinated, and pose no risk. i vaccinated, and pose no risk. wooding them into sealed containers, putting onto a purpose built transporter, take them to france,

7:33 am
people cannot believe what is happening because as has been said on many occasions the pigeons pose very little risk to the two diseases that are the focus of the health requirements which i newcastle disease, and is in the report all of the pigeons are vaccinated against it annually so there is no risk of spreading it. the other risk, the disease is avian influenza which in recent years has been a problem but the scientific research suggests the pigeons pose very little risk if any of spreading the disease and actually you cannot even contracted. so the uk's position, i don't know how well we perform as a nation when it comes to pigeon racing and you can tell me, but is the uk's position in the sport under threat? yeah, we have a prominent position and a lot of the european countries look up to the british and have got a lot of admiration for what we've achieved, racing across the channel.

7:37 am
are having to roar on the side from home due to covid travel restrictions, but the team will have the fans in their hearts as they walk out for the first euro 2020 knockout game against denmark at 5 o'clock this evening, live here on bbc one. our reporter tomos morgan is in cardiff. look at that! morning, tomos. i thought for the moment you had the man himself all the way from amsterdam but that is a lovely cutout that what a way to inspire the youngsters behind you! yeah, they have beenjoined by two welsh stars this morning but no doubt they will be taking their inspiration for their derby match from this man rather than myself, of course. they have their match kicking off in about 1.5 hours and as you mentioned this man has his game kicking off at about five pm against denmark, a big game, i wonder if we have the gareth bale of the future behind us, some good skills going on here, rather than than me, a bit too much skill for me. not only gareth bale is the main star of the team today, you have ramsey and one other player who is

7:44 am
a minor ankle injury as he attempted to qualify and defend his 10,000 metres title but he missed the mark required by 19 seconds. he says he will now consider his future. in formula 1, it's looking good for red bull and bad for mercedes again this weekend. championship leader max verstappen was quickest in friday practice for the styrian grand prix in austria. lewis hamilton was only fourth. his mercedes team—mate valtteri bottas has been given a 3—place grid penalty for this spin in the pit lane. it's one of the most hostile courses in the world and it's ended the hopes of britain's elfyn evans of winning safari rally kenya with two days still to go. this is what he could see when the judder there tells him he's hit a rock on stage three — and it was a big one, shattering the front right wheel and suspension on his toyota. he was not going to continue after that, was he?
7:45 am
he had been in fourth place at the time. so much drama. people say what about the premiership final and we are talking to them in one hour's time so we will cover it then. thank you very much, mike. having a look at the weekend weather. hopefully a bit quieter. this weather watcher shot from yesterday in essex, signs of funnel clouds, potential tornadoes, captured in a few spots, in fact, across east london and essex linked to some big damage and storms. a lot of rain, flash flooding. we saw storms but to nato 's in parts of the midlands there and 42 was shut for a while. we're still going to have a few downpours around through today, very hit and miss. something wetter pushing into the south of england, maybe even south wales as we go through tomorrow. let's with
7:46 am
today first of all. another one draped across the far north of england. remnants of that producing patchy drain and drizzle. not chilly here, not as cold as yesterday. good sunny spells breaking through and we will see the showers break up a bit more and a bit more shower developing as we three —— see across other parts of england. in the sunshine it will feel pleasantly warm, temperatures up to the low 20s for england and wales but that will lift the pollen levels on the go. a little bit cooler and a bit more breeze. devon and cornwall to give a wet the night. we will have skipped
7:47 am
starry skies. that will throw another weather front our way. the north corridor, could edge into south wales. a good part of scotland and northern ireland, lots of dry weather and plenty of sunshine. the same area bringing it into the south—west. it is neverfar away. dry with sunny spells, showers later in the week. the further south you are, showers to start the week which of course could have a bit of an impact on wimbledon. before i go, i showed you the pictures of tornado potential in parts of the uk. we saw
7:48 am
a devastating tornado on thursday evening rumble across the czech republic. ijust want evening rumble across the czech republic. i just want to show the scenes of the devastation. the impact tornadoes can have when they are on the scale of one that hit through thursday, almost apocalyptic scenes as the village was near destroyed now it's time for newswatch. hello and welcome to newswatch, with me, samira ahmed. the euros are on but why do they get to push around that length and timing of bbc news bulletins? and should the tournament occupy so much airtime and prominence in the news? it's that time of year again,
7:49 am
when sports events disrupt and the infuriating of others. since that euro men's football tournament started a fortnight ago we've heard complaints from the latter group, including this from terry pearson on monday last week, when scotland played their first game. since then, other news bulletins have been shortened or delayed, including a day of scotlandsecond game last friday. because of live coverage of another
7:50 am
match that afternoon, the news at six that day was actually the news at 7:05pm. tonight the england — scotland showdown at wembley, their euro 2020 clash is about to get under way. it's notjust the timing of news bulletins that's caught people's attention but also the prominence and amount of airtime within them which is being devoted to football. the first 12 minutes of that programme previewed the england—scotland match, and the first 12 minutes of that night's news at ten looked back on it, a pattern that was repeated on tuesday when both teams played their last pool games in the tournament. among the viewers who have contacted us about how bbc news have handled the euros was kate baker whojoined us now, as is the bbc�*s editor of tv news paul royle. thank you both. hate you contacted us about the six and ten bulletins, tell us about the news at six first.
7:51 am
obviously, as football fans, we wanted to watch the match, but we thought we'd like to see some ordinary news beforehand. so i tuned into the news bulletin and was quite shocked to find, as you previously said, 12 minutes of the bulletin was devoted first of all to nothing but the football match, but the football much hadn't taken place yet, so really, what was there to talk about other than family gathering and the fact that the match was going to carry on later on? it was very frustrating, as it was quite a big news day i gather, with by—election results and i think european curbs on british travel because of covid. so paul, the top 12 minutes of the bulletin on a match that hadn't even taken place yet. that's not news, is it? i think in terms of the six
7:52 am
o'clock news on friday, we were on at 7:05pm as you said, it was just before kickoff, less than an hour before kickoff, in what was overwhelmingly the biggest event that was happening in the uk that day. as we saw afterwards from the tv viewing figures, more than a third of the country way tuned into the tv to watch this match. it was a big sporting event in itself, and i think sometimes, let's not step away from the interest and significant of the sporting event itself, as well as some of the other stories and issues that are attached to it. for example, the movement of fans across the country, you know, should there be spectators in the ground, should euros be taking place at all? so for all those reasons, it was at the top of the six o'clock news. but that doesn't mean other stuff didn't get into the programme, or wasn't given proper
7:53 am
coverage or was squeezed. and so the by—election results and the latest on the pandemic was all comprehensively covered as well. kate, tell us about the ten o'clock bulletin then. obviously we watched the match and thoroughly enjoyed it, and we decided we didn't want to see the post match analysis, so decided to watch the ten o'clock news bulletin. but as soon as we switched on, obviously it reported the result of the match, which was fair enough, and we had a reporter at wembley who told us all about the match, although most fans like us would have probably watched the match, and those who didn't watch the match wouldn't have wanted so much detail, i wouldn't have thought. paul, the issue is, if you are really interested in football you would have watched the match, and if you weren't interested, you didn't care. so a simple match report of maybe three minutes telling you what had actually happened would have been fine. in either case, but not 12 minutes
7:54 am
which is what we got again at top of the tendon. ——top of the ten. i think we have twojudge the event and the occasion within itself, i don't think we can sort of make the assessment that if you are interested in football, then you've seen the match, and so we shouldn't cover it on the news. we just have taken on its merits. yeah, but in three minutes, not 12, paul. well, there's quite a lot to cover in terms of the game itself. and then the millions of people around the country, overwhelmingly, the biggest event in the uk, probably this year, that had been watching, enjoying, and consuming the match. we wanted to reflect that and feel there is a duty of the programme to do that. again, i would repeat that it didn't mean that other things won't covered in the programme.
7:55 am
kate, what's your feeling? as paul said, there is some people who don't want football on the news at all. i don't think that should be the case, there is generally on the news bulletin a sports report towards the end, and i think that is where football and other sports can be covered. but paul was talking about pre—match analysis and post—match analysis and so forth, but if you look at the scheduling of the match, it isn'tjust the 90 minutes or so that is played for the match, so anyone that is particularly interested in hearing what the experts say before and after and finding out what fans are doing, would happily watch that. personally i'd prefer to actually just watch ten minutes before the match and the match itself. paul, on tuesday when england paid germany, ——played. — were you listening in terms of news coverage in terms of what people are saying, they don't want to much coverage and they don't want to much previewing, please. what i would say to that is our
7:56 am
audience figures have been pretty good during the euros, and i don't want viewers and audiences disappearing on the evenings or the days when football may be more prominent in the programme. but absolutely, just to reassure kate, we think about the stuff very carefully, we take a lot of care, we weigh all the issues up and we don't just sort of blindly go into this thing without really thinking it through. also, i'm delighted that kate is an avid news viewer as well, and that's definitely something we can agree on. paul royle and kate baker, thank you both so much. last month's conservative by—election victory in the labour stronghold of hartlepool was widely described as a political earthquake, and it occupied lots of tv airtime, both in the buildup to the boat ——vote, and after it, as we have mentioned already, there was another by—election earthquake last week when the liberal democrats won chesham and amersham, a safe tory
7:57 am
seat since its creation in 197a. here is vicki young on friday's news at six. you know what happens when a really powerful orange force goes against a blue wall? polls suggestjust 7% of voters back his party, but sir ed davey insists that isn'tjust a one off, and lib dems could knock down other conservative strongholds in southern england. that photo opportunity with ed davey wielding a hammer was replayed widely across the media, and it caught the attention of this whether that strategy has worked or not, jennifer was more concerned that nobody in the news media seemed to have seen the liberal democrats' victory coming, and wondered whether it should have taken journalists quite
7:58 am
so much by surprise. the queen has been holding weekly audiences with her prime ministers for all the 69 years of her reign so far, and what they have discussed in those meetings has long captured the imagination of dramatists, journalists and the public at large.
7:59 am
no surprise that that caught the media's attention, but adrian objected to this headline, used in the bbc�*s online article the subject. thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news, on tv, radio, online and social media, or you can find us on twitter. you can call us: and do have a look at our website
8:00 am
that's all from us, we'll be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week. goodbye. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today... we commit you for 270 months. 22 and half years in jail for the police officer who murdered george floyd, whose family and supporters describe the sentence as a slap on the wrist. justice would have been george floyd never having been killed. justice would have been the maximum. the health secretary matt hancock under pressure to resign, after pictures emerged of him kissing an aide in his office — in breach of covid guidance.
8:01 am
good morning, on one of the biggest days in welsh football history, as they get ready to face denmark this evening, in the first knock out, match of euro 2020. this is why we want to be in football, to play, especially for our country in the big games, test ourselves, to play in the big tournaments, we want to try and do as best we can. and the four—time olympic champion mo farah says he's in shock and will consider his future, after failing to qualify for this next month's olympic games in tokyo. and while today we can see a few sharp showers around, tomorrow it looks like something a bit wetter pushing into southern counties of england and wales. i'll have your full forecast right here on breakfast. it's saturday the 26th ofjune. relatives of george floyd have said the jail term given to a former us police officer for his murder fell short of what they were expecting. derek chauvin was sentenced to 22—and—a—half years in prison — more than seven
8:02 am
years fewer than the prosecution had demanded. however, president biden said the term seemed appropriate. here's our north america correspondent, peter bowes. a final day in court for george floyd's family and the man guilty of his murder, derek chauvin, to be sentenced for a crime that sparked protests across the country. this was the family's opportunity to express their thoughts as they search for closure. george floyd's daughter, seven—year—old gianna, appeared first on video, too young to fully understand the tragic events of the past year, she talked about the father she no longer had. i miss you and i love you. when it came to the sentencing, the judge his decision was not based on emotion or public opinion, but the law. the sentence for count one — the court commits you to the custody of the commissioner of corrections for a period of 270 months. hands up, right now! let me see your other hand! 22.5 years for his role in this —
8:03 am
the arrest of george floyd, caught on camera by a bystander, in a sequence of events that resulted in his murder. pinned to the ground for more than nine minutes by derek chauvin, crying out that he could not breathe. i can't breathe. a scene that still haunts terrence floyd, george's brother, who struggled to speak as he addressed chauvin directly. i wanted to know from the man himself why. what were you thinking? what was going through your head when you had your knee on my brother's neck? but there were to be no answers from the former officer, who expressed little emotion, even as his mother vouched for his character. it has been difficult for me to hear and read what the media, public and prosecution team believe derek to be — an aggressive, heartless
8:04 am
and uncaring person. i can tell you that is far from the truth. finally, but briefly, derek chauvin addressed the court. do want to give my condolences to the floyd family. _ this right here is — this 22—year sentence they gave this man — it's a slap on the wrist. we're getting a life sentence with not having him in our life and that hurts me to death. the reverend al sharpton, a long—time civil rights activist, put chauvin's 22.5—year prison term in context. this sentencing is the longest sentence we've seen, but it is notjustice because george floyd is in a grave tonight, even though chauvin will be in jail. president biden gave his reaction to the sentence from the white house. well, i don't know all the circumstances that were considered but it seems to me, under the guidelines, that seems to be appropriate. one down, three to go!
8:05 am
three other officers involved in the arrest of george floyd are still to face their day in court. but with the sentencing of derek chauvin, there is hope that america has reached a turning point in the fight for racialjustice. peter bowes, bbc news. earlier we spoke to peter, who said this high—profile case could prompt changes to policing in the united states. there are certainly different views on this sentence, with some people wanting much longer, possibly up to a0 years, but it wasn't to be. but others actually quite optimistic about what it means for a white police officer to be in the first place convicted and then sentenced for the killing of a black person. it is difficult to get that through a court in america today, it has been traditionally for decades, but it has happened. now we have this very high—profile case, a conviction and a sentencing that may be the beginning of a new attitude in the united states.
8:06 am
and we are seeing it in cities and in states around the country. i think all eyes are on the federal government, on the biden administration, to pass a meaningful law. and there is a bill going through congress. if passed, that would mean significant and meaningful change that would perhaps change police forces up and down the country for a long time. pressure is mounting on the health secretary, matt hancock, to resign after pictures — and now cctv footage — emerged of him sharing an intimate embrace with an aide in his office. mr hancock admitted breaching social distancing guidance after the incident was exposed by the sun newspaper. our political correspondent helen catt is in our london newsroom. plot catt is in our london newsroom. your way through the plot your way through this for us. the prime minister has said as far as he is concerned, the matter is closed? he as he is concerned, the matter is closed? ~n as he is concerned, the matter is closed? ., closed? he said matt hancock has apologised. _ closed? he said matt hancock has apologised. he — closed? he said matt hancock has apologised, he has _

8:10 am
first covid jab, that anyone over the age of 18. if you have already had your first covert vaccination, they say leave it at least eight weeks but if it has been eight weeks since then, you can also turn up to get your second. this is about trying to hit the government target of getting all adults in the uk vaccinated having had at least one jab byjuly. why so crucially by that date? that is when they are hoping to be able to lift all the remaining covid restrictions. thank ou so remaining covid restrictions. thank you so much- _ rescue teams in miami are continuing their search for survivors after an apartment block collapsed two days ago — but the state governor has also called for a timely explanation of the cause. the number of people unaccounted for now stands at 159 — and four deaths have been confirmed. our correspondent will grant sent this report from miami. the longer this search and rescue goes on, the more harrowing it
8:11 am
becomes for the families. around the clock day and night, the rescue teams continue to work at the site, sifting through the rubble brick by brick if they have to do. they are also using sniffer dogs to find if there is any remote possibility of locating families or individuals still alive. obviously holding on to that hope is the hardest thing for the relatives. they know that as each hour passes, the possibility of seeing their loved ones again is becoming more and more remote. president biden has said that federal funds and federal support are available for florida and he says that he understands that this period of waiting is the hardest part. the governor of florida ron desantis has said that when this investigation moves into investigating what happened here, that he will expect there to be full answers. however, those are issues that will still have to wait. for now, this remains an operation to try and locate survivors. the australian city of sydney has started a two—week period of lockdown because

of a covid outbreak. it's the first stay—at—home order issued there since december. authorities have detected a total of 80 cases of the delta variant of the virus — and they say it has spread rapidly. the time is now 12 minutes past eight. today is a massive spotting day. the euro is of course all focus on wales. what a day. wales will be hoping to reach the quarterfinals of the euros when they meet denmark later today. the game takes places in amsterdam, but welsh fans will be thin on the ground because the dutch authorities are barring nonessential visitors from the uk. our wales correspondent hywel griffith is in amsterdam. he is appropriately dressed, wearing the right colours. it looks lovely behind you. the water a little bit of a dull day. i have to ask you how excited are you? fin

8:15 am
different, it is just different. absolutely, but at the football team and the professional squad around them know that will be the situation, so they have asked schoolchildren from around wales to record the anthem and that will be cut together so the players he probably before they go out on the pitch people from back home, young singers belting out that anthem, so i think there will be no lack of emotion and pride there. they will have to contend with a view thousand danish fans singing there and some probably equally passionately but what really the players have been saying at the end of the day, it is another game of football, they have to be professional about this, they will be desperate to make their mark. and probably find their way back to baku because that is the price today, a place in the quarterfinals in azerbaijan next weekend. we quarterfinals in azerbai'an next weekend. ~ , . weekend. we will be cheering them on, weekend. we will be cheering them on. definitely- _ weekend. we will be cheering them on, definitely. thank— weekend. we will be cheering them on, definitely. thank you _ weekend. we will be cheering them on, definitely. thank you and i weekend. we will be cheering them| on, definitely. thank you and enjoy. travel firms have been dealing with a rush of customers trying to book holidays in the places

8:22 am
fairly heavily reliant on tourism and the uk is the [id at valley tourist industry in malta. —— is the number one tourist industry in malta. there was deep as a primer when we were left off the green list, but the picture health—wise has changed since then and the concern here is around the delta variant and as you mentioned, cases arising in the uk and that is not the situation in malta, we have the single case of the delta variant and only 29 active cases of covid on the entire country. so there is that mix of relief for the economy but also concern about health so that is the reason why about an hour after the uk announced malta on the green list, malta announced only double vaccinated tourists will be allowed in. 50 vaccinated tourists will be allowed in, ., , ., vaccinated tourists will be allowed in. so how is it going to work? were the have in. so how is it going to work? were they have to — in. so how is it going to work? were they have to prove _ in. so how is it going to work? were they have to prove they _ in. so how is it going to work? were they have to prove they had - in. so how is it going to work? were they have to prove they had it - in. so how is it going to work? were they have to prove they had it at - they have to prove they had it at least two weeks ago? they have to

8:24 am
and bars and the beaches are open. malta has been slowly relaxing its covid—i9 restrictions. the big difference i think that tourists will notice is the mask requirement. at the moment mask wearing is mandatory everywhere outside, that will change from the ist ofjuly when a fully vaccinated person will be allowed to not wear a mask as long as they are with one other fully vaccinated person and groups of more than two will have to wear a mask. 50 certainly people will have to pack their masks. and it do mask wearing is mandatory, not on beaches, though. so there will not beaches, though. so there will not be any unfortunate tan lines. the? be any unfortunate tan lines. they are whole new _ be any unfortunate tan lines. they are whole new world _ be any unfortunate tan lines. they are whole new world of— be any unfortunate tan lines. they are whole new world of timelines now! thank you so much. dc does lovely pictures, i mean come alive with pictures of malta, blue skies

8:26 am
sunny spells and some showers cropping up against england and wales, nowhere near as many or as severe as yesterday. a good sunny spells, the vast majority into the afternoon and temperatures climbing afternoon and temperatures climbing a little bit, up into the 20s and even a little less cold across eastern scotland and north—east england. pollen levels, if you are suffering, not a great day in england. a few showers around for a while, but wet weather in the channel islands will push to devon and cornwall. in the west, some story skies to take us through the night and tomorrow morning. temperatures for most in double figures. tomorrow, still low pressure in the south, that will throw more rain from this weather front across southern areas, a gradual process, some will start to dry and bright, but turning wetter through the day. maybe fringing into south wales, but for the rest of the

8:29 am
is even assistant manager. but not all salons are taking on as many apprentices as they used to. this one in chichester might normally have five. they didn't hire any last year because of the pandemic. looking ahead, they'll probably recruit three. the owner says there are several reasons. on the one hand, salons are reluctant to stump up the cost of taking on trainees at a financially uncertain time. on the other hand, it's increasingly hard to find enough recruits. we can't find people that are really passionate and whether that's because of the schools that aren't encouraging them to come through or people don't see this as an exciting industry, which is really sad, because it has great career opportunities. about 7,000 people started hairdressing and barbering apprenticeships in england between august 2019 and july 2020 — a drop of nearly a third compared to 10,000 in the previous 12 months, which was significantly down on the year before. if we're not investing in the future, where all the hairdressers going to come from?
8:30 am
why does it matter if salons aren't taking on as many? because there are other routes in, other ways of qualifying. yeah, people can go into college, but with an apprenticeship you are earning and learning at the same time, which is great, but what you learn and what you get from just being around other people, you don't get that opportunity at college. the hair and beauty trade body told me boosted government incentives for taking on apprentices only goes so far. it's not really quite enough to make the difference. an apprentice doesn't bring in money, they are all cost and no revenue, and that is fundamentally the thing that is pinching people who might want to employ an apprentice, but at the moment they just feel they can't afford to. the industry says there's no easy or simple solution, but some businesses hope a few too many home haircuts recently may have prompted more people to appreciate their skills and to consider taking a path like dulcie's. my favourite part is talking to clients and then just seeing the results. cleaning the toilet is probably the least fun job, but it's
8:31 am
still funjust to be part of the team. it's notjust hairdressers which are recruiting fewer apprentices. the same thing is happening in many sectors. paul warner can tell us more. he's from the association of employment and learning providers. good morning to you. what is the big picture you are seeing?— picture you are seeing? morning. what we have — picture you are seeing? morning. what we have seen _ picture you are seeing? morning. what we have seen it _ picture you are seeing? morning. what we have seen it since - picture you are seeing? morning. what we have seen it since the l what we have seen it since the government adjusted the funding system for apprenticeships in 2017 to a levee system, whereas large employers pay a proportion of their payroll into a big levy part, unfortunately the trend since then is that the larger employers who got first call on that money or attempting to recruit older and more experienced apprenticeships and the numbers of opportunities for young people starting on the first steps

of their career are beginning to fall. lockdownjust make of their career are beginning to fall. lockdown just make that worse and the opportunities for young people have basically fallen off a cliff in the last year or so, which is a real shame because the report you how there is a really good example of what apprenticeships have to offer. you can earn a salary, you can make an immediate positive effect on your employermy business, it is a building block for a sustainable career. i it is a building block for a sustainable career. i look at what the government _ sustainable career. i look at what the government says, _ sustainable career. i look at what the government says, and - sustainable career. i look at what the government says, and we - sustainable career. i look at what l the government says, and we have done many interviews about this and they are barely bold in their defence of what they say the apprenticeship system is. for example, this is gillian keegan, a ministerfor apprenticeship example, this is gillian keegan, a minister for apprenticeship and skills. apprenticeships are a great way for people to launch new careers. to support businesses to employ apprenticeships we are offering a £3000 incentive payment to any employer who takes on a new

8:41 am
bumps. that is always the point where you get emotional. it is a shame that we don't have the fans in there but they sing and unbelievable rendition. the national anthem is the moment you have to catch yourself. i would always get my team back into a huddle to say, that is done now, let's focus on the game because our national anthem is an incredible one.— incredible one. what does it feel like to put _ incredible one. what does it feel like to put on — incredible one. what does it feel like to put on the _ incredible one. what does it feel like to put on the wales - incredible one. what does it feel like to put on the wales kits? i like to put on the wales kits? you're all from different clubs, you come together, what does it feel like when you put on the wales t—shirt on knowing you're your country? it t-shirt on knowing you're your count ? , t-shirt on knowing you're your count? ,, country? it is something special. it is such a proud _ country? it is something special. it is such a proud moment. _ country? it is something special. it is such a proud moment. the i is such a proud moment. the interesting thing for wales, when i played myself, a lot of us were born in england and there is no hiding that fact, but when you put it on, the way that the welsh fans take to you and we always give our all for wales, i don't know, it is hard to

8:51 am
fantastic stuff. i would love to be a fly on the wall as they practice two songs. part of the coverage on bt sport, using his big headphones! thank you, lawrence. fantastic to chatterjee this morning i get that insight. the tokyo dream is overfor mo farah. the four—time olympic champion had one last chance to make the games at a specially—arranged race in manchester last night. 38—year—old farah had been battling a minor ankle injury as he attempted to qualify and defend his 10,000 metres title, but he missed the mark required by 19 seconds. he was very upbeat afterwards, but he says he will not consider his future, take time out to think about his future. i didn't realise that until i came in this morning, used
8:52 am
to associate him with the olympics. it didn't quite happen. the collapse of the danish footballer christian eriksen during a euros match earlier this month has prompted a surge in calls for the machines which saved his life. tim brooks died after a sudden cardiac arrest whilst playing golf, more than a mile from the nearest heart defibrillator. now his family want to ensure that more of them are installled at clubs across the uk. andy howard reports. a sudden cardiac arrest can happen without warning anywhere. for tim brooks, it was in april at clevedon golf club. he went for a round, skipped out of the house with his new clubs, new golf buggy and, yeah, we got a call that evening and everything changed. although there is a defibrillator here, tim collapsed more than a mile away from where
8:53 am
it is kept in reception. he never recovered. i think it's a unique problem to golf courses in terms of it covers such a large area, whereas if it happened at a rugby club or a football club you're only ever 100 yards away from the clubhouse. only one third of golf clubs in the uk have a defib anywhere on site, which i found astounding. the family started fundraising to buy clevedon golf club two more defibrillators so they could dot them around the course. they were aiming for £5,000. they've already passed 30,000 and it's still rising. now they're about to start a charity called beat the clock. as soon as we were going through what we were going through, we said we couldn't let this happen to anyone else. i know it will happen to other people, but if we can try and limit how many people it happens to. dad was amazing. i think everyone would say that about their own dad, wouldn't they? but he was so full of life
8:54 am
and he was the life and soul of the party, honestly, he'd get any party going. he loved sport. he was captain of the rugby club. he captained the cricket club at times. he was a member of the golf club. he was always involved in sports clubs. i think it is a testament to him as a person that he knew and impacted so many people from different areas of clevedon and walks of life. katie and nick are hoping that seeing footballer christian eriksen survive a sudden cardiac arrest at the euros will encourage golf clubs to install these units in as many places as possible. itjust goes to show that if the equipment is there and it's there available, then it does make a difference. and that would be a fitting tribute to tim brooks, who wasn't as lucky. dr charmaine griffiths is the head of the british heart foundation. shejoins us from north london.
8:55 am
good morning to you. unfortunately, the story of tim brooks and saying the story of tim brooks and saying the pain of his family is one that is all too common. how much of this are you saying and how much does bring to light how much these defibrillators are needed? ignite bring to light how much these defibrillators are needed? we hear this story far _ defibrillators are needed? we hear this story far too _ defibrillators are needed? we hear this story far too often _ defibrillators are needed? we hear this story far too often and - defibrillators are needed? we hear this story far too often and the i this story far too often and the heartbreak of families like tim's. there are around 30,000 cardiac arrest happen outside the hospital every year and only one in ten people survive. absolutely it is about having to write access to defibrillators and knowing where your local one is. it is also about having the skills and confidence to do cpr attack can really save the life of a loved one. {go do cpr attack can really save the life of a loved one.— do cpr attack can really save the life of a loved one. go through some basics for us- — life of a loved one. go through some basics for us. how— life of a loved one. go through some basics for us. how much _ life of a loved one. go through some basics for us. how much does - life of a loved one. go through some basics for us. how much does a i basics for us. how much does a defibrillator cost, one of those devices you might see attached to a

about knowledge _ cardiac arrests happens. this is about knowledge and _ cardiac arrests happens. this is l about knowledge and information cardiac arrests happens. this is - about knowledge and information and practical expertise, but also about demystifying things. we had a wonderful man, mark king, join us on the sofa last week who lost his son, oliver. it was one of those situations where he now campaigns for people to know about this. he showed us how defibrillator works. he went to the really basic stuff. around cpr, there is an intrinsic fearfrom a lot around cpr, there is an intrinsic fear from a lot of people. i around cpr, there is an intrinsic fearfrom a lot of people. i don't know what i'm doing, and i'm afraid to get involved for the fear of doing more harm.— to get involved for the fear of doing more harm. you are right. quite a lot— doing more harm. you are right. quite a lot of— doing more harm. you are right. quite a lot of people _ doing more harm. you are right. quite a lot of people don't - doing more harm. you are right. quite a lot of people don't have| doing more harm. you are right. i quite a lot of people don't have the confidence needed to do cpr or use it defibrillator. you don't need to be a medical expert to use a defibrillator or have done it before. it is a simple thing to follow what you have got to a

defibrillator. the best advice i would give anyone isjust defibrillator. the best advice i would give anyone is just take a few minutes to have a look at the nhs website are other great sources of information, have a look at the training materials online. there are so many of them, they are fabulous and just a couple of minutes will tell you everything you need to know about finding a defibrillator or reducing it. just use do cpr skills or refresh yourself and do cpr skills because we know that every minute when somebody has a cardiac arrest counts. your chance of survival dropped by 10% by every minute when nothing is done. just take a few minutes now to visit a website, have a look, refresh yourself on what you do if someone near g collapsed with a cardiac arrest. it could literally be life—saving. just take a couple of minutes out to dust on your skills or learn what you would need to do

9:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today... the court commits you to the custody of the commissioner of corrections for a period of 270 months. 22 and half years in jail for the police officer who murdered george floyd, whose family and supporters describe the sentence as a slap on the wrist. justice would have been george floyd never having been killed. justice would have been the maximum. the health secretary matt hancock under pressure to resign, after pictures emerged of him kissing an aide in his office — in breach of covid guidance good morning. on one of the biggest days in welsh football history,
9:01 am
as they get ready to face denmark this evening in the first knockout match of euro 2020, trying to repeat their run to the semi—finals, of five years ago. this is why we want to be in football, to play, especially for our country in the big games, test ourselves, to play in the big tournaments, we want to try and do as best we can. and the four—time olympic champion mo farah says he will now take time, to consider his future, afterfailing to qualify for this next month's olympic games in tokyo. and while today we can see a few sharp showers around, tomorrow it looks like something a bit wetter pushing into southern counties of england and wales. i'll have your full forecast right here on breakfast. it's saturday the 26th ofjune. our top story... relatives of george floyd have said the jail term given to a former us police officer for his murder fell short of what they were expecting. derek chauvin was sentenced to 22—and—a—half years in prison — the prosecution had asked for 30.
9:02 am
however, president biden said the term seemed appropriate. here's our north america correspondent, peter bowes. a final day in court for george floyd's family and the man guilty of his murder, derek chauvin, to be sentenced for a crime that sparked protests across the country. this was the family's opportunity to express their thoughts as they search for closure. george floyd's daughter, seven—year—old gianna, appeared first on video, too young to fully understand the tragic events of the past year, she talked about the father she no longer had. i miss you and i love you. when it came to the sentencing, the judge his decision was not based on emotion or public opinion, but the law. the sentence for count one — the court commits you to the custody of the commissioner of corrections for a period of 270 months. hands up, right now! let me see your other hand! 22.5 years for his role in this — the arrest of george floyd, caught on camera by a bystander, in a sequence of events that
9:03 am
resulted in his murder. pinned to the ground for more than nine minutes by derek chauvin, crying out that he could not breathe. i can't breathe. a scene that still haunts terrence floyd, george's brother, who struggled to speak as he addressed chauvin directly. i wanted to know from the man himself why. what were you thinking? what was going through your head when you had your knee on my brother's neck? but there were to be no answers from the former officer, who expressed little emotion, even as his mother vouched for his character. it has been difficult for me to hear and read what the media, public and prosecution team believe derek to be — an aggressive, heartless and uncaring person. i can tell you that is far from the truth.
9:04 am
finally, but briefly, derek chauvin addressed the court. do want to give my condolences to the floyd family. _ this right here is — this 22—year sentence they gave this man — it's a slap on the wrist. we're getting a life sentence with not having him in our life and that hurts me to death. the reverend al sharpton, a long—time civil rights activist, put chauvin's 22.5—year prison term in context. this sentencing is the longest sentence we've seen, but it is notjustice because george floyd is in a grave tonight, even though chauvin will be in jail. president biden gave his reaction to the sentence from the white house. well, i don't know all the circumstances that were considered but it seems to me, under the guidelines, that seems to be appropriate. one down, three to go! three other officers involved in the arrest of george floyd are still to face
9:05 am
their day in court. but with the sentencing of derek chauvin, there is hope that america has reached a turning point in the fight for racialjustice. peter bowes, bbc news. pressure is mounting on the health secretary, matt hancock, to resign after pictures — and now cctv footage — emerged of him sharing an intimate embrace with an aide in his office. mr hancock admitted breaching social distancing guidance after the incident was exposed by the sun newspaper. our political correspondent helen catt is in our london newsroom. the prime minister has been categorical, there has been an apology, he says the matter is closed, downing street they are clear they consider it to the end of the matter. clear they consider it to the end of the matter-— the matter. labour and the other opposition _ the matter. labour and the other opposition parties _ the matter. labour and the other opposition parties absolutely - the matter. labour and the other opposition parties absolutely do | opposition parties absolutely do not. they are calling for an investigation into whether or not mr hancock may have broken the ministerial code of conduct and there are also questions that need to be answered about how gina
9:06 am
coladangelo had been appointed as an aide and later as a nonexecutive director on the part of the department of health so questions being asked of us are banned on the front pages of the newspapers, the images across most of those. i think the question is if the question is closed in terms of public opinion on what will be key is what conservative mps are hearing from their constituents will stop when dominic cummings went to barnard castle last year, there was a huge backlash, mps getting overwhelmed with e—mails about people angry at what they perceived was hypocritical of people making the rules and guidance not then following them. that is the same criticism being levelled at matt hancock. i think it will be really important to see what conservatives hear from their constituents and what they are then saying to the prime minister and also to matt hancock himself, he is an mp, one of their colleagues and i
9:07 am
think it'll be interesting to see what they are saying him privately. thank you very much, helen. wales will be hoping to reach the quarterfinals of the euros when they meet denmark later today. the game takes places in amsterdam. our correspondent hywel griffith is one of the few welshmen who have been allowed into the dutch capital, because of covid restrictions on visitors from the uk. it doesn't change the fact this is a very big day for wales. absolutely vous u- it very big day for wales. absolutely vous up it is _ very big day for wales. absolutely vous up it is only _ very big day for wales. absolutely vous up it is only the _ very big day for wales. absolutely vous up it is only the third - very big day for wales. absolutely vous up it is only the third time i vous up it is only the third time the welsh football team has been in a major tournament, lots of people will remember what happened in france five years ago when unfancied welsh team went all the way to the semifinals, raising nationalspirit. it felt like about half of the welsh population managed to find their way to france. because of the pandemic this time it has been very different, if you hundred in the stand in baku and, may be down to a

9:12 am
coast at the moment, will not be the same tomorrow, but look at this, it doesn't feel like summer in the north—east of england, eastern scotland because there is a weather front tangled in amongst the high—pressure producing drizzle and a weather front in the south which will have some showers but not as lively as yesterday. showers hit and miss in england, most will miss them, staying rather grey and damp in south—east scotland, north—east england, but either side there will be sunny spells developing and in the sunshine it will feel quite pleasant. highest temperatures will be england and wales, up to 22 may be england and wales, up to 22 may be 23 degrees whereas it stays in the mid—teens across eastern scotland, north—east england but it represents improvement on yesterday. up represents improvement on yesterday. up in scotland it will be lower levels of pollen than in england and wales. we finish with rain across the channel islands and that will push into one devon and cornwall,
9:13 am
some will be on the heavy side, elsewhere some light showers in the east of the country, most will be dry, story skies in the west and temperatures for most in double figures. sunday an area of low pressure just to the south across france that will throw another batch of rain northwards so raining on and off in devon and carmel, channel islands and it gets wetter across other southern counties as we go through the day, the of thunder with it. away from that, optimistic most will be dry, a few showers in central eastern england, but with more sunshine in the north and west, it will feel even warmer than today. temperatures around 18 to 20 degrees, on par with where it should be for this time of year. next week, more showers for england and wales, drierfor more showers for england and wales, drier for scotland more showers for england and wales, drierfor scotland and more showers for england and wales, drier for scotland and northern ireland. thing is, it doesn't feel like it should be, it like it should be, ireland. thing is, it doesn't feel like it should be, it feels like we are injune, that it should be warmer. probably because you are used to the
9:14 am
heat of the other week and that's out of temperature. but this is where we should be at this stage in the year. 0k, the year. ok, i trust you. it's 9.11; on a saturday morning — which means it's time to take a few minutes to discuss the latest coronavirus developments — and to answer some of your questions. to help us, as always, is the public health specialist professor linda bauld and the virologist dr chris smith. good morning. just some thoughts, may be starting with you, lender in relation to the growth in terms of infections currently has a buy think the most recent statistics from the office for national statistics, and people may beget office for national statistics, and people may he get a bit confused by the figures, cases rising at 30% in a week. can you put that in some sort of context for us? the

9:22 am
positive case, having to advise the bubbles or the class isolate. looking ahead, i think we have to find alternatives. positive cases will always have to isolate, but large numbers of others doing so, i think that is causing damage and thatis think that is causing damage and that is what parents and teachers are saying. that is what parents and teachers are sa inc. , ., that is what parents and teachers aresa in. , ., , that is what parents and teachers are saying-— that is what parents and teachers aresa in. , ., , ,., ., are saying. due to pick up on that chfis? are saying. due to pick up on that chris? we — are saying. due to pick up on that chris? we always _ are saying. due to pick up on that chris? we always talk _ are saying. due to pick up on that chris? we always talk politics, i chris? we always talk politics, there is the line between science and politics with this, but many are asking why send them home? we know they are not at greater risk so why do that? why not keep school going? it is a difficult one and it is something we are still waiting on an answer to in terms of where we stand on vaccination of younger people. thejc vi, on vaccination of younger people. the jc vi, they on vaccination of younger people. thejc vi, they provide guidance for the jc vi, they provide guidance for policymakers to decide who should be vaccinated _ policymakers to decide who should be vaccinated or offered a vaccine and

9:28 am
whether the embeds were a source of infection because they didn't get such a good follow up with the testing, but they have yielded really useful information about a couple of things. where the danger points are in a venue and that is definitely in dials rather than outdoors, we could have crowding in corridors or using parts of the venues, they look to people's behaviour and they found the vast majority of people when asked to wear face coverings continue to do that but there was also some examples where they didn't so that is something that needs to be maintained. in terms of the overall evidence around events in general, aside from the events for the programme, it does is more risky, we need to distance we need people to follow the guidance. as we open up we need to get these things we started again and i would prefer that we are looking carefully at these kinds of events as part of a research programme rather than not. i think the next phase is phase two

9:37 am
who failed in his final attempt to qualify for the tokyo olympics, where he wanted to defend his 10,000 metres title. he was running in a special trial at the british athletics championships in manchester. 0ur senior sports news reporter, laura scott, was watching. commentator: there is mo farah! one last chance to make the plane to tokyo 2020, and mo farah's task was clear — run the 10,000 metres inside 27 minutes and 28 seconds and he'd qualify. flanked by pacemakers on the start line, the four—time olympic champion had no shortage of motivation. farah is the reigning 10,000m champion — a title he won in thrilling style five years ago in rio. but the last few years haven't been easy for farah. having retired from the track in 2017, he switched to the marathon, but after limited success returned to the track in 2019. he's also split with his long—time coach alberto salazar, who was banned for doping violations. farah's never been accused of any
9:38 am
wrongdoing himself and at 38 was adamant he could still go toe to toe with the�*s world's best. but his performance on the track last night suggested otherwise, missing the olympic qualifying time by 19 seconds, the clock no longer on his side. afterwards, he stood by the decisions he's made over the last few years. i've not changed anything in myself and in my career, i'm lucky to have, you know, so many medals throughout my career and have four olympic medals. at that point, as an athlete, you know, when you are so good at something, you always — that is what makes us a champion, you have to try a new event, you have to get excited, you have to work on it and if it comes overnight, everybody would be winning, you know? and so you have to take a step back and see what wonderful career i've had. and for me, i don't regret any — any part of my career, you know? it was nice to try the marathon, run a british record, european record, go out there and to learn about it but at the same time, i genuinely did miss the track.
9:39 am
farah will be 41 by the next olympics and while he would not give a definitive answer on his future, he knows this could be the end of his distinguished athletics career. those close to him admitted they were devastated as they watched him wave an emotional and potentially final farewell to his fans. laura scott, bbc news, manchester. once again its looking like a difficult road ahead for mercedes in formula i, in contrast to the outlook for red bull. championship leader max verstappen was quickest in friday practice for the stirian grand prix in austria. lewis hamilton was only fourth. his mercedes team—mate, valtteri bottas, has been given a three place grid penalty, for this spin in the pitlane. the tour de france gets underway today in brittany, with the riders facing a journey of more than 2,000 miles over 21 stages. slovenia's tadey pogacar is the defending champion, while geraint thomas is part of a strong line—up for the ineos grenadiers, team and he's looking to regain the yellowjersey he won in 2018.

mark cavendish has been a late call—up for the race for the dessa—nink quickstep team after a team—mate picked up an injury. i've built my whole career around this race and it never changes, tojust be buzzing about it, you know? not every kid — well, every kid that goes on a bike, you know, they imagine that — at one point or another imagine they're in the tour de france and even now at 36, if i'm not here, i still imagine i'm in the tour de france when i'm training and — and yeah, that's why it really is everything, like. england's charley hull has slipped down the leaderboard at the women's pga championship in atlanta. she shot a 71 in the second round to move to five—under par, so a steady performance from hull, but she is six shots behind the american nelly korda, who is out in front after a 63. it is hard to remember a day like

9:42 am
he's five—years—old and he's been retrieving bottles on this park since he was about six—months—old and cleaning the park up for everybody. when we're at home and we've got an empty plastic juice bottle or anything, he'll look at you and he's desperate to get his teeth on the bottle. basically, he goes around picking them all up and as we get off the field, obviously i don't want to take all the bottles home, it'll keep filling the bin up, so then i got him to drop the bottles by the side of the bin as we walk off, put them in the bin and we go home after that and he gets his breakfast. i literally took the picture, i thought it would make a few people smile and literally put it on pudsey born and bred and within basically a few hours we were up to 150 reactions against it. over the next passing couple of days he went over 600, which is absolutely amazing because when i put something on facebook about myself i get, like, six, but put something on about harley and he gets 600! i'm immensely proud of harley.
9:43 am

9:48 am
there is one theory experts seem to agree on. i have come inland, near oban, to meet professor paul tett to find out more. he's been studying microscopic algae since the 1970s, known as phytoplankton. how rare is what we are seeing off the west coast, this turquoise colour? well, the only time i've seen in my working life is back in the 1980s, so i guess more than 30 years ago. what we are looking at are billions and billions of microscopically smallalgae, phytoplankton, which have got little limestone plates on their cell bodies and these plates reflect the light, so when you have these billions and billions of tiny limestone plates, then they scatter sunlight back through the water. is it something that we should be worried about? no, i would say this is undisputedly a good thing. they are helping to slow
9:49 am
the rate of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and thus slowing global warming. scientists have been observing the phenomenon from satellites and up close and personal. tiny they may be, but insignificant they are not. the collection has around 3,000 strains of algae. so much so, a special collection is studied here at the scottish association for marine science. all the micro algae and macro algae produce about 30% of the oxygen we breathe, so in terms of thinking of how important forests are and trees are, equally the health of the ocean and all these organisms are massively important from that point of view too. with a pandemic putting many getaways on pulse, this mightjust be the picture
9:50 am
postcard we've all been needing. you hear alki and jay think negative, but it is actually a positive. time for a last look at the weather with matt. this is from yesterday afternoon in the sunshine. it does look amazing, doesn't it? it looks more mediterranean. beautiful scenes there. more sunshine to come on the isle of arran today. the forecast for the rest of the uk today is one where we will see quite a bit of cloud to begin with, but that will break up. there will be a few showers here and there. the wetter weather will be tomorrow, but mostly in the southern counties. we have this weak area just to the south the past. this is producing the misty
9:51 am
and murky conditions in the east of scotland. there is still a cool breeze, not as bad as yesterday. the west of scotland will brighten up, sunny spells in northern ireland, too. the cloud will break up in england. there will be one or two showers and they will be on the job site. temperatures up to about 23 degrees. grass pollen levels will be high or very high in england and wales in particular. the channel islands will see our place of rain at the end of the day. that will push into cornwall and devon tonight. cloud will linger in eastern parts of the uk, but it shouldn't be a cold start to sunday. this area of low pressure will bring in more in the way of rain to southern counties of england, potentially southern wales as well. this trend will be heavy and sometimes temporary. from the m4
9:52 am
northward you will probably stay dry. the best of the sunshine out towards the west and it will feel nice enough in that sunshine, too. wales face denmark in the first knockout match of the euros today. there's just over seven hours until kick—off and the excitement is already building up to a gentle simmer. our reporter tomos morgan is in cardiff. you're morgan is in cardiff. with gareth bale! what an interview! you're with gareth bale! what an interview! . ., you're with gareth bale! what an interview! . . , ._ , interview! 0h, amazing. the players here have been _ interview! 0h, amazing. the players here have been trying _ interview! 0h, amazing. the players here have been trying to _ interview! 0h, amazing. the players here have been trying to get - interview! 0h, amazing. the players here have been trying to get some l here have been trying to get some tips from the big man. they are about to kick off here in just a few minutes. alongside the welsh players, there is one maestro there

will be a key piece in the redwall team today. will be a key piece in the redwall team today. come 5pm this evening, the children at narbeth primary school, west wales, will have their eyes fixed on just one welsh player. um, gareth bale. ah, dan james. well, mostly one. alongside bale and ramsey, the linchpin of this welsh side is the welsh pirlo and former narberth alumni joe allen. very modest, very unassuming. helped all the team. was never critical of everyone — anyone. always very encouraging about everyone. but my football coach and team talk sort of ended up with "give the ball to joe". three of this latest year 6 class are now playing for the county, having taken inspiration from the unassuming allen, who is not only a talent on the ball but also in the classroom. joe was a great mathematician, he as great at language and he was just a great all—rounder, to be honest. as thoughts turn to tonight, another round against the great danes.
9:54 am
speaks danish. while cardiff has not proved to be a hotbed for incoming scandis, there will be some split loyalties within the family of the capital's hottest bakery, and not only about which is their favourite flavoured spandauer. my son has decided he's on the wales team and my daughter has been very loyal and say she'll stick with me, so — so, yeah, it's 50—50. and the dog? and the dog — he's a welsh border collie, so it's kind of in his name, love him. come on, wales! there'll be a missing red wall while in thejohan cruyff arena tonight — no welsh fans are allowed in amsterdam, as per the netherlands' covid restrictions, whilst the roligans are able to be in and out to watch the game within 12 hours. guessing the pandemic would scupper an away trip for super fan steve ward, he built a wales—themed bar in his garage. i think we were the 12th man in euro 2016, to some extent. and the danes have that
9:55 am
in their favour this saturday so, but on the other hand, that could work in our favour, that could be the ultimate team talk rob page needs, you know, as to go out there and win it for the fans who are not here. so i think this young team is resilient, you know, fearless, so gingers crossed it could benefit them. # gwlad! # pleidiol... from neyland to nefyn and from barry to barmouth, welsh fans will be cheering as loudly as possible tonight in the hope that hen wlad fy nhadau can inspire allen and bale all the way from back home. no official phantoms across wales at the moment, most people will either be going to the pub or watching the game from home this afternoon. laura mcallister is here, the former wales captain. what are your thoughts on this will tame compared to that 2016
