led. by a. watch is true watch is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or remain in the shallows. why bargain. well here are the lines for those of you keeping score. cities are on fire. 40000000 unemployed. in america. g.d.p. to the climb by 50 percent in the 2nd quarter. the velocity of money is dead. small businesses are. and jay powell said german says this.
10:32 am
is in france there's a flood of signs. this is the one business show you can't afford to miss. in washington coming up protests across the united states lead to an arrest and just order all in response to the death of george boyd will discuss police brutality and income inequality drug makers are focused on a run a virus but one will be ready and how soon is too soon we have a director who specializes in vaccine to discuss we have a packed show for you today so let's go and dive right in. chaos continues in major
10:33 am
cities across the united states over the last few days fueling protests went on following the killing of george floyd atlanta los angeles chicago philadelphia minneapolis and washington d.c. were among some of the cities that imposed curfews still protests continued protests that began peacefully ended in may 1 windows were smashed buildings were vandalized and police vehicles were set on fire stores and even small businesses were looted a number of retailers including target c.v.s. and wal-mart all temporarily closed some of its stores are cross the country nearly 5000 national guard soldiers and airmen were deployed in 15 states and in washington d.c. and more than 4000 protests were arrested actually banks is reporting from minneapolis. my dear in the of the people who are the board lloyd was killed by her probing the boat a week ago. day 3 now there are about 50 to 75 people all who are looking down
10:34 am
flower or something at all ready to leave for those who knew him and they feel that he was clearly a good part of my life actually he still got a good 5 letters and try to turn to me i want to see the atmosphere right now is a little different from what it was a lot of the night i know there are people there just taking the picture and walking around the water at least trying to remember mr george the life of you know it's pretty hard to imagine any way that they could be when you got what was it 90 minutes of video watching them standing around like i slowly dies i mean you know i was you are wrong that it was real and not a lot of follow real words it was her you know there were protesters were you know riot and completed the betzner you describe it is not in the spirit of the sort of the city where this can or has always been. an atmosphere of respect
10:35 am
and safety and purpose. the rest of inland so much. and you know that's that element that everybody talks about of the people congregated for a small town or a little girl but this corner has been you know many more protests are scheduled for the rest of the day has protesters say they won't stop until just what is served now would it not look like a little bird test they're saying they won't stop until the very meeting for the whole series are charged and convicted and they still won't stop intel officer showed their country murder charges is changing to the 1st degree i'm not really big on importing any apple. for more on the ongoing protests we're joined by watching the hawks host a mish across i mean thank you for being with us today you can see the frustration in these protestors it stems out only from a racial disparities but. so from the criminal justice system right it's healed by
10:36 am
the economic inequality that's felt more even now more so by the pandemic what are some near term solutions that we can we can look for to ease some of these potential burdens on the health care system and what do you brought that up there because one of the things i think is missing in a lot of the media conversation about the protests is that this is still going on during kobe 19 this is still going on where there are some stay at home waters particularly in areas that have large minority populations because blacks and latinos tend to contract the virus the fastest they also tend to die from it at the highest rates some of the things i think in the short term that we could do one is make sure that for those who are still working that that p.p. equipment is available we know that across america there are grocery stores drug stores things that we consider a part of our daily lives these are required jobs positions that individuals have to take part in but all of those jobs aren't requiring and don't necessarily have the people equipment that is needed for individuals to perform their jobs at the
10:37 am
function they need to and still be safe one of the other things i think that we need to do is make sure that there is more funds going out to the families themselves we know that that $1200.00 that was issued from congress a while ago doesn't mean anything today the 1st of the month is today we know that there are many people who are still barely making ends meet who don't have enough to cover their rent for the next 2 or 3 months bokes who even before the pandemic hit were making barely a minimum wage and trying to raise families off of that as well we're also looking at the fact that a lot of those families have their young people at home they don't know when school is going to be opened again and daycares are shut down as well so i think that there needs to be some bit of leverage in terms of childcare assistance as well and a plan for what that actually means for families who have to go to work every day but also still have young children at home and i'm glad you brought up that angle of the unemployment rate that we're looking at as it is we already know that the black community suffers from a higher unemployment rate than than whites and even hispanics u.s. unemployment rate 14. percent in april the coronavirus really is hitting an
10:38 am
unemployment rate it's likely to reach more than 20 percent we're still waiting on the may numbers that come out at the end of the week let's let's look at the numbers here though for black americans that number reach 16.7 percent congress they may extend unemployment increase but is this a type of strain that really could catalyze this some form of significant policy change that we need like a universal basic income for for example absolutely just a few months ago everybody thought that you'd be i with some crazy idea not really taking into account that we might have a pandemic or something that would have quit our economy the way it has but to be fair the issues associated with black unemployment as well as that of latino's are things that we've dealt with across this country for a very long time the unemployment rates are exacerbated by what we're seeing with the pandemic but when it comes to having worker safety when it comes to having wages that actually are a lot of for you to raise a family every day that's something that black communities and latino communities
10:39 am
have been fighting for decades at this point i think that you guy or a i don't think that this administration the top administration is going to do anything with the with the term but i think that there is something that needs to be done and we will see it in terms of some level of financial security for individuals how much that's going to be and how many months we're going to see it happen i think it's still up in the air but it's an election year so i don't want to say that they're not going to do anything we're still waiting on a possible more stimulus we have a little over a minute left but i do want to ask you this what's next these protests aren't going anywhere what's next more amplification one thing that we have learned over time is that protests work and protests interestingly enough protests that have a certain element of violence are ones that get people to move we've seen this throughout history we saw with stonewall with the old g.b. team movement we've seen it with how our nation actually became america and i think that you know these sustained protests across multiple cities are going to really push people to understand that there is a level of african-american when it comes to just being upset him. american dream
10:40 am
has been defrauded from black people but in addition to that calling on our nation leaders as well as state and local leaders to actually stand up and do something about it we're still waiting to hear publicly from president donald trump who hasn't come out yet i know that they're saying that he has he's tweeted out a few times but that's simply not enough for the american people and this is an issue that we know both the white community the black community and hispanic community everyone recognizes is an issue and we should cross host of watching the hawks thank you so much for your time thank you. the chrono virus has infected more than 6200000 people globally a race for a vaccine continues a little you reported it started an early stage trial to test its potential treatment for cove a 19 san b. c explain the treatment is an antibody directed against the spike shaped protein structures of the virus and it's designed to block it from locking on to human
10:41 am
cells thus neutralizing the virus will gilliatt announced results from its phase 3 trial of ram does appear on some more moderate patients that were hospitalized with kovan 19 results previously released did show the drug used on more severe patients but on day 11 a higher number of patients in the 5 day treatment achieved improvement under the clinical status while those receiving the 10 day treatment of rum does appear were also favorable but not yet reaching statistical significance well for more joined by dr paul offit director of the vaccine education center at children's hospital of philadelphia dr thank you for joining us today. there is a lot of competition on this hunt for a vaccine we have several drug makers there working and leslie on developing this vaccine are we beginning to see these promising results from these ongoing trials. we don't know yet. to really tell you the way that you'll be able to get these
10:42 am
tributes ward will see will control mall will be that 20000 people with. only a one of these that's really arcee. or not that's a problem we have so many companies drug makers trying to push it many are worried that a 2nd wave will come especially with the reopening of the economy and now these protests across the u.s. these companies are working. hours they seem to have a lot of time explain the importance of testing these axioms and really ensuring that there's safety in these candidates who are participating in these trials. to remember when these vaccines will end and we can make a successful vaccine there's no doubt in my mind the virus is generally stable it's not like it when we're going to have to immunize their year we know the protein we're interested in it's that protein that emanates from the surface of the parts of what spike protein if you can make in a plot against the tank against these all that's good but this process house to
10:43 am
play out the way it always plays out which is what the fades and we're getting there and it's a little frustrating this kind of science by press release so you don't really know where we stand you're not going to know where we stand here we do these weeks they switch out the book based on i think what we will likely have a vaccine by the middle of next year maybe earlier but we have to let this process play out because you're right most of the people are going to get this vaccine are healthy young people those are not the people like the knife in this virus that we have to hold to our standards say. here's my question if it is released by the middle of next year i know oftentimes vaccines take years of testing that's a very much accelerated what are some of the ramifications that we can see are will it be too late. well you know you when you if you test a vaccine saying tens of thousands of people pre-placed your pre-approval that's not tens of millions of people so you may find out there's a rare safety issue you know you're probably not going to know about how long duration of immunity lasts until this vaccine has already been held there for a couple of years but again you can be fairly confident that the vaccine doesn't
10:44 am
have uncommon side effect problems and pretty confident that it works and works well before it's approved so i think we can at that. scientists are worried that with the decline of these new chrono virus cases and even lower level transmissions that it it is going to be harder to then test the effectiveness of these potential vaccines do you suppose that a rise in transmission rates from nationwide protests for example could actually provide these unforseen opportunities to then test the efficiency of these new vaccines it's possible most of the protests the outside were your were less likely to transmit it if the protests were currently in a smaller clean clothes space but i think the of the goal of these trial going to be to try and do the myriads where there are there is either one going transmission or there's a prediction that there will be an outbreak not only united states but in the world so i do think we will be able to figure that out but you're right you have to get a little maki to make sure that you have enough case that you're conceivable which you can tell whether the vaccine really was affected when some of these drug makers
10:45 am
are going as far as to say that they're going to need to in fact healthy volunteers with the virus in order to really produce the vaccine could this idea really pose too many of the coal challenges to be carried out you know i don't think it's really just an ethical problem i think is the question is will it really speed up the the the making of this vaccine it's not as easy to do the challenge that is it as you might think you have to make sure you have the dose right you have to make sure that it really mimics the clinical situation the virus that you're going to be inoculated also going up in a laboratory and does that mean that exactly what's going on with the virus that circulating it's not quite as easy to me plus that you mention it's not really a rescue drug if you're inoculate people with a potentially fatal virus so i don't think it's going to actually speed up the process. china has has had a little bit of i guess you can say as of more more information on it because they were the 1st to have the chrono virus they too are working on on
10:46 am
a chronic are sas vaccine do you see them trying to find are actually finding a vaccine and manufacturing it before the united states or even any other country. it's possible they were actually the 1st to publish a paper in a medical or scientific journal lancet going through with their there there's imes work with the so-called replication effect the common cold virus into which they genetically engineer the gene that encodes for that service protein the data where all that promise to correctly but again i think we're going to learn a lot over the next year and there has never been more interest more money or more expertise in developing a vaccine in the history of mankind and this one. well we definitely are more advanced technology and we have the medical scientists who are working on this vaccine for endless hours and hopefully it won't be too long before we can find one dr paul over thank you so much for your time director of the vaccine education center at the children's hospital of philadelphia. time now for
10:47 am
a quick break but hang here because when we return from breakthroughs in the hall to breakthroughs in space will talk about the 1st manned space x. mission to the i.s.o.'s with space entrepreneur rick tumlinson as we go to break here the numbers at the club. according to several sources police in the united states from 2 to 4 people every day. was. my childhood experience. says i used to bring. one of my being arrested for serious one for me and that. is just their little world and the style that they
10:48 am
developed just us against them each. a long sleeve shirt or 225. or rather from someone holding you close. to there is a corruption inside of the police or the culture is. one else seemed wrong. one old rule. i mean you get to shape out these days you can stick to it and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
10:49 am
i. trade hostility between the world's 2 largest economies continue to ramp up this despite months of progress between the united states and china prior to the pandemic but as our team alex mchale of its reports the latest escalation may lead to a lot of blowback. with one statement president truman took the trade war with china to the next level i'm directing my administration to begin the process of eliminating policy exemptions that give hong kong different and special treatment since the city state reverted to chinese rule in 1907 hong kong has enjoyed a march trade and commercial status which the american president now says he will revoke in addition trump is threatening to add sanctions and possibly other steps that could negatively affect chinese businesses and hurt hong kong's position as
10:50 am
a major global financial center while the us president's statements were carefully need to punish china while shielding the u.s. some investors believe the u.s. economy may also feel the pain analysts say that trumps moves could drive volatility in global markets creating an obstacle for the u.s. stock trade and the country's economic recovery from covert 19. current mass unrest in the u.s. and some dangerous cocktail in the making one u.s. sector that is especially vulnerable to what is happening between america and china is tac the technology sector is exposed because of its dependence on supply chains that are closely tied to chinese manufacturing many of the companies also have large consumer markets in china in addition if china's government chose to it could make quite difficult for american tech companies working in china so far that hasn't happened even with the u.s. becoming increasingly aggressive in the trade war china has been rather level headed and says that it has chosen to stay committed to would. should you change.
10:51 am
china sticks to the path of peaceful development we china is extending openness and deepening cooperation with other countries china is the significant power for building world peace study development and prosperity turn as measured response to u.s. aggression has to a degree proven effective the private survey has shown that in me trying to manufacturing sector expanded beating analysts expectations meanwhile as elections approach in the us many are expecting more political and economic attacks on china and some see if things are pushed too far the u.s. could end up hurting itself in the process to bust i know it's my heart. the historic space x. dragon successfully launched over the weekend billionaire company launched astronauts from american soil for the 1st time in nearly 9 years will the astronauts describe the experience after docking at the international space station
10:52 am
. from a futuristic standpoint i think you know space x. from the very start of that company has tried to be very forward thinking and cutting edge and it is one of the factors that went in the design of the crew dragon and our space suits and everything about the vehicle as far as the docking was concerned. dragon flew pretty similar to a shuttle it had very similar characteristics the automation would have made the air did make the same corrections that i think either bob or i would have as we were coming in and the thing that really stood out to both of us and we mentioned it as soon as we docked is we didn't feel the docking it was just so smooth and then we were docked which in shuttle you felt a little bit of a jolt. for more we're joined by rick tumlinson chairman of space fun rick thank you for joining us today such a historical moment that we saw 1st privately designed and built spacecraft
10:53 am
a successful. doc with the i.s.f. on sunday everything seemed to go off without a single glitch we were able to watch the astronauts live during takeoff it was just so incredible what are your thoughts. why do you say it was heralds a new era i think that i don't come to shout it was the medicine only the government astronauts or employee who are very close to space contractors now what you might call the rights. you know and so i think we're going to start seeing more and more and more activities that are led by made excellent by the private sector by people all that that's incredible here the overall contribution to this offer is that more development and exploration from these private companies what do you see going on in the future how how much will these companies invest and is this something that the government the sensually going to
10:54 am
minimize their their money into. but i think it's very important and i try to get this across the road talk about what's. what's in somebody's blueridge and are doing it and you know there is this characterization that this is rich boys and it's always know all of them are really what's happening here is these 2 gentlemen a lot of other people and over again what we call space revolution or actually doing this to open up so that eventually regular folks like us can you know so it's sort of a hand-off moment and yes it will save taxpayer money but it will also create new opportunities for all kinds of people to get out there and come up with all kinds of cool ideas and since today what actually do you think further the creativity than what a private model for space exploration actually be sustainable given the massive
10:55 am
cost and even the risks that are associated with it. oh yes absolutely look any any new human from fear comes with risks we know that. but what we're going to see during the next stages of development are going to be slowly reusable space ships and when you get some full reviews ability look imagine if you were taking an airplane and everywhere you went you had to throw pieces away and then rebuild the airplane to fly that that's how it's been done up until now we have complete reusability and space ships that operate like aircraft the cost is going to slum it and there's the cost plan that's more people can go more things can happen more ideas can be created because you'll have more people out there able to use the environment to come up with new products new things that we can do so it's a very very important turning point more usability at last taxpayers' money and all
10:56 am
those things now that we have these billionaires in the space sector and we're using we are seeing these results is there a concern that that sense they aren't there to make the money they may just give up the endeavor if it doesn't move fast enough like heading to mars for example. you know i like and i feel like we know both both of them are going to top billionaires as well that i you know i know our community there is a drive behind this reason you're seeing such excellence coming out of space and the other companies because they are jews ribs and one of beliefs that we are here to go out there that they want to see the human settlement of space we want to see space opened up as another domain for humanity and lights it is a drive this is not about making money at the 1st or now people will come along and leverage off of what's happening then you're going to see all kinds of
10:57 am
businesses and new products and it's like that line the core drivers behind the line in jobs and branson and some of us is to open the fronts here so that people can go out there and do what it is they want to do what how much confidence is actually going into that mine to these these businesses these private companies how much confidence do you see coming out from it. i'm very confident and you know frankly do we have to acknowledge that we're building a lot of we stand on the shoulders of giants here. the russian space program the american space program that have been out there for so long for weakness and b. and that we're coming along and adding a layer of technology as you saw the automatic birthing with the space station. but all of that is comes from a place of doing a lot more opening it opening it up you know it's been closed essentially since the
10:58 am
beginning of the space program since. well to this elite group of government of. a magic what will happen when your kids or your or your your family your people your know for help the chance to go out and do things and this is definitely a huge turning point lot of people comparing it to the walk on the moon just a historical moment indeed everyone was very excited rick tumlinson thank you for your time in your analysis. that's it for this time as always check us out on you tube dot com slash boom bust our teeth but the next time. thinking of getting a new phone the ones we've gotten here shows no problem obviously didn't know it's
10:59 am
still trapped in this tiny little wired how much we're going to use a crate with the wall. freaking out and she will want to spray them anywhere near and thousands of breeding dogs that caged in the in human conditions on puppy farms i mean 67 years you know they've been locked up in cages outside you see no protection from the weather the heat you know the courtier the rain the snow the funder nothing they have no protection. particularly you. know it's ok. across the u.s. cruel puppy mills are supported by dog shows and pet stores most of the puppies are coming from this large scale factory farming kind of operations are being sought in stores even joined a good businesses are involved like agoa mom center there has been a shocking amount of organized opposition to adverts to increase the standards of care for dogs bred in commercial breeding facilities most of that opposition is

coming from huge agricultural groups and industries that have nothing to do with jobs don't buy dog. well coming up here is from around the world live from central london this is r.t. u.k. . public health england publishes a review into code related ethnic minority deaths examining the heightened risk for some demographics i'll be joined by a disease control expert. on a quarterly study. that's right here very good chance for you in the little guys are really rather simply. ready to respond to the american citizens offering themselves saying it's to protect communities after a week of anti police brutality riots that says the u.k. government is want against continuing the sale of rubber bullets and tear gas to the u.s. amid fears over

a white house crackdown on protesters. that the secretary's quarantine bans for international travelers are set to be brought before parliament on wednesday amid concerns restrictions could be reduced within weeks becomes as public trust in the government falls with downing street announcing people spam weekend coronavirus press conferences. and new figures show the number of people with disabilities who have died if you take care homes has more than doubled from last year i'll be talking to a campaign of. public health england has published a review into heightens code related deaths of ethnic minorities. are their shadows so what's in the report so the government has published a much anticipated review into the disparities when it comes to cope with 19 deaths
11:02 am
often initially missing its self-imposed deadline of the end of may which was last friday now we have been aware for quite some time since the beginning of the pandemic. the united kingdom that those in the beer me community are disproportionately affected by 19 and that's after a strand of reports research and data all came to that conclusion that minority ethnic groups are more likely to either be critically ill or even die from the virus now the controversy isn't just in the findings it's more in the delay as well as room has had it that this review has been put on the shelf due to the global outrage surrounding the death of george floyd of course a black man who died at the hands of police brutality in the united states just last week since then there's been a wave of black lives marked as protests that have erupted worldwide across the globe 1 is that something that was mentioned in the house of commons earlier today . yes indeed block lives matter mr speaker but it is surely
11:03 am
a call to action that block beijing the minority people are more likely to die from covert a more likely to be admitted to intensive care from coke that he's seen the findings i know that the policies minister is taking work forward but what action will be taken to minimize risk for blocked asian and minority ethnic people black lives matter and as do those of the poorest areas of our country which have worse health outcomes and we need to make sure that all of these considerations are taken into account and action is taken to level up the health outcomes of people across this country because there is no more important levelling up than the levelling up of your life expectancy. just to mention then that the department for health and social care has denied that the delay was anything to do with the incidents over in the united states but let's look into this review or to
11:04 am
close detail the stats have shown that there's a stark difference with demographics with coronavirus with black people being the most likely to get it while white people are the least likely to contract the virus now b.m.a. groups are also 10 to 50 percent more likely to die from crave it 19 and over 15 percent of those who were critically ill with the coronavirus were from black or asian backgrounds now the report also accounted for the fact that the emmy people are more likely to be in key worker roles in low paid jobs those living in deprived areas not to mention also overcrowded households as well so they are more likely to be exposed to the virus and more likely to be in scenarios where the our number is the highest the problem is with this government report is that it doesn't actually tell us anything we didn't know already and that's why we're hearing from liz trust the traits secretary that she has to lead a separate view entirely into why the b.m.a.
11:05 am
community is the most at risk from cave at 92 chad thank you very much indeed for more on this unknown joined by an expert in communicable diseases dr barrett kanina talked about kanya thank you for joining us as we were hearing from shadier there how much of this is 2 to ethnic minorities being more likely to work in key jobs. it very much is and it is also an example of poverty my concerns are that whilst we have known about it and then it has been confirmed by the office for national statistics and now again by this public health england report is we don't talk about it we do something about it instead we have clear evidence that if you are of a black asian ethnic minority group in particular bangladeshi origin they have a risk of twice. the ordinary normal population of getting the infection and if they get the infection of dying so these are data telling us something we need to
11:06 am
profile these people profile all people including europeans including indigenous british people here and if i didn't before if they're at risk and remove them from at risk or at least advise and inform them how to take care of themselves also dr franconia i think my note is more likely to have underlying health conditions such as diabetes is also is basically also a factor absolutely and unfortunately the public health england report did not look into co-existing called morbidity as i.e. extinct existing illnesses notwithstanding that we were identified a subgroup of people who are an additional risk now we've got to take action rather than just talk about it we may not be able to manage in the national health service without the services of these people but what we can do is reassigned them duties were assigned them beauties on trains crowded buses etc but do something rather
11:07 am
than just talk about it and say what more can the government data changes and also what can the media communities also do themselves in the short term so we've identified now i would ask that we profiled i mean other words identify all people at risk in your employment and then consider where they can be redeployed to safer things so in n.h.s. for example. move them out of phrase to phrase patient tasks similarly if you can not just do that at least advise them and then give to them extra peepli so that they are protected from getting infections those are easy measures that you could immediately undertake also the communities themselves is there anything that they can do to me to protect themselves and also is there something they can help with in terms of sort of evening out the inequalities in the short term. it's very difficult because this is a clear reflection of poverty and we cannot eliminate poverty overnight but if we are aware and if we are serious about poverty then we need to do something about it
11:08 am
they cared that kids ago we had the block report we've had the monitor board we've had the office for national statistics we've got public health england they're all saying the same things poverty kills you austerity has killed a lot of people now we really need to say we need to protect all people and they really mean old people indigenous people as well as the identified actress groups dr barrett franconia thank you very much indeed for joining us thank you thank you . the united states is witnessing some of its worst riots since the 1960 s. as a 7th day of violent protests has followed the death of black man george freud at the hands of a white policeman at least 40 cities have imposed curfews and the national guard has been activated in at least 23 states as well as in washington today say in missouri police say 4 officers have been injured by gunfire after violent protests in st louis.

america's most conservative states it's not only police patrolling the streets armed locals are out to they say it's to protect communities and businesses from the rioting and looting sweeping towns and cities coast to coast. i i i. i. in washington d.c. protesters at another mostly peaceful rally were forced off the streets with tear gas and stun grenades to clear the way for the president trying to have his fate take taken outside of the white house he later warned that if the unrest continues he'll do whatever it takes to stop the chaos. in recent days our nation has been gripped by professional anarchies violent mobs arsonists looters criminals rioters and tiefer and others today i have strongly recommended to every

government to deploy the national guard in sufficient numbers that we dominate the streets if a city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents then i will deploy the united states military and quickly solve the problem for them. but it comes after human rights campaigners urged the u.k. government to suspend sales of tear gas and rubber bullets to the u.s. amid fears of a white house crackdown on protesters activists claim that millions of pounds worth of export licenses are being granted to the u.s. for anti crowd related equipment u.k. government guidelines on the granting of export licenses say they should be suspended if there's a risk the equipment will be used for internal repression. they are gay home secretaries quarantine plans are set to be brought before parliament

on wednesday amid suggestions the restrictions could be asked in a matter of weeks that says a study finds the public's confidence in the government to provide accurate information about covert 19 has crumbled with some suggesting it could be linked to dominic cummings controversial lockdown trip to darrow r.t.u. case is around he joins me with the latest on this. either recess not everyone is happy with the quarantine plans are they now absolutely the government looking to bring in new plans that would see people traveling from abroad she u.k. being told to self isolate when they reach the airport here there will be giving their address and that's what checks will be carried out to ensure that they are keeping by those quarantine rules anyone who does breach them will be hit by a 1000 pounds fine now those regulations could affect from next week they'll be reviewed every 3 weeks we were expecting them to come to the commons for debate today but it looks like that's been pushed back to possibly 2 more because

there is somewhat of a rebellion if you will from tory m.p.'s now some of them say that it's on workable and that instead they should be extra just sets up which are bilateral agreements between the u.k. and other countries whereby the citizens of both countries can go back and forth and be exempt from quarantine rules it would appear though not everyone in the government sees it the same way the whole lot. to say average it would be difficult to manage but it's not just inside government where there are problems with their what type of quarantine will control methods to move to use moving forward also the travel industry saying that these quarantine plants could be the death knell for what is already an under-pressure industry where people are coming to the u.k. expecting to come in for a holiday but instead of being told to isolate the 2 weeks then that would essentially kill demand at a really vital time for the industry and also in the meantime what about public
11:14 am
trust in the government. absolutely we've seen the government have their trust hit especially since the dawn of the cummings controversy of course was the coming say that 260 mile trip up to darwin where the lockdown measures were in place the law strictly in place send mr cummings saying that he's not apologetic for that but there's been an impact in terms of how the public perceives the government public trust in falling significantly in bars johnson and his government currently less than half of the public believe that boris johnson and his government have been giving people the correct in summation about coded 19 in april that figure was 66 percent so massive drop then now just under 30 percent of people think the country is heading in a positive direction that's a full 5 percent from last month while a quarter of people believe the case moving in the wrong direction that it was only
11:15 am
15 percent last month and so for that reason it's still about the way the government handled the dominant cummings control to see it security with members of the public wondering well if it's a cummings isn't keeping to the lockdown why should we that's had an impact on how people put their trust in then government say also they're not going to be held in the region press conferences any longer the reason behind it is that basically you figures are very low they don't think they're reaching the country however this could lead to more public distrust as communication numbers fall and we've also seen a poll by you gov which says that the approval ratings for the government just had a 60 percent in april thinking the government was doing a good job that's not dropped to 45 percent again perhaps an indication of just how much the public perception of the government's handling of coverage 19 has changed they've said think of a mission day. now britain's lockdown rules have become an enforceable
11:16 am
according to police chiefs the head of the metropolitan police federation which represents officers in the capital said i'm a big us advice has made compliance almost impossible in most circumstances i don't think the public are taking much notice of what is laid down in front of them they are doing it how they want to do it in terms of being in forcible i don't think it is what are the rules this is what i keep saying i don't think they are very clear i think they are ambiguous any interpretation that can be used on them people will do what they want to do but it comes as new rules allowing socially distant outdoor gatherings of up to 6 people as well as private garden parties and barbeques came into force on monday however last weekend sunny weather was met by widespread breaches of restrictions leaving police to conclude it was locked down in name only new guidelines for police will be to explain and encourage compliance and only resort to enforcement when dealing with large gatherings. or former police officer
11:17 am
peter williams told me that a large crackdown on the public would be a tremendous strain on police resources. the police told us in full social distancing that his decision for the citizen for the individual what they can in full force is any legislation that surrounds it and if people are going to make those decisions to do that it looks at the weekend from the scenes that we still in places like bullets and other areas but in my area here on beaches in nice of the south pools area the police were called to major gatherings of people having barbecues dealing with discarded drinking a low sorts of things and no little luck all luck adds to the workload so the resources which are extremely limited in relation to the police and what they've got to do with that example and crocket see day conference gains people are having
11:18 am
these perhaps. barbecues in these events on the beach that needs to be dealt with properly and i ask the requirements of the police presence act so there's more work now all that adds up to the fact that the police are finding this extremely difficult on the final 8 which is the enforcement elements. still to come this hour . a new study in the u.k. shows an increase in the number of people with disabilities who delayed while receiving care i'll be talking to a campaign up. the
11:20 am
dares thinks. we dare to ask. god welcome back new figures from the u.k.'s care quality commission has shown the number of people with disabilities who have died in u.k. care homes has more than doubled since 2919 from april attends until may the 15th 386 people with learning disabilities died in the u.k. while receiving care for conditions such as autism the study which use data from the u.k.'s office for national statistics also shows that over 50 percent of those deaths were related to covert 19 in other confirmed or suspected cases and over the
11:21 am
same period last year 165 people with learning disabilities died in u.k. care homes the shows an increase of over 130 percent or to discuss this i'm not joined by campaigner george julian george thank you for joining us are you surprised by these figures. and no not particularly and i'm pleased that i am in essence if you see i've done this analysis although it feels a little too little and a little too late. but i wouldn't have said the i'm not surprised by the figures i'm horrified by the figures i think the fact that every other death is due to code they did in this group at this time fills her brenda's how much of this is down to the government do you think as the majority of care homes are in the private sector . i don't i'm not i'm interested in the reporting of data is supposed to say i think i don't know how much is down to the government i don't feel that there was
11:22 am
a response that took into account many disabled and or to stick people early enough during the pandemic it feels like an afterthought that this data has been produced now locked down is already lifted and we know that testing for this group is still proving difficult to secure so you know who did it but that's about to say is testing the answer i mean shouldn't care homes have done more to stop the virus getting into their premises in the 1st place oh is that easy to say in hindsight. well admin i think that there was poor advice issued care homes at the beginning but also a lot of money saver people live in the community they live in their own homes they live in supported accommodation and they live with family so this isn't just a care home issue really this is about a group that we know in the best of times died 2 to 3 decades prematurely and this is the west of times so i'd guess and they feel that most of been done only good that the government has neglected people with disabilities i think society has neglected people with disabilities and has done for years we've known that then
11:23 am
several people die prematurely we know now that we don't even know if you will to state and non learning disabled if your death would even be counted in the statistics you know so yeah i think government is fair people but i think society i think you and i have there are people well what would you like to say from the government and our society as a whole. i would like people to be as outraged and sickened by this as i am i would like people demand that every death is counted i would like there to be manned it she death reporting i think it's i think it's absolutely crucial that we understand we know that this group thanks have inequalities and therefore that we understand how this kind and it is impacting on them and i think we need to make changes to the data that's collected and i would like to see that happen very quickly george julia thank you for joining us and. british m.p.'s are being forced to queue almost a kilometer through parliament to vote on whether the commons can continue virtually it comes as the conservative leader as the commons that jacob respond has
11:24 am
been demanding m.p.'s return on voting polls and the stop gap of a hybrid parliament was a necessary compromise join the peak of the virus but by not being here the house has not worked effectively on behalf of constituents this house clothes one valuable role in holding the government to account and debating legislation which can only properly be fulfilled when members are here in person. well a socially distance securing system through the commons was introduced today m.p.'s are currently voting on the future of a virtual commons but the proposal has been has pointed backlash from m.p.'s with some base hundreds of miles away from london or having to shield during the outbreak and the equality and human rights commission has been urging the government to revise its proposals and enable remote participation is highlighted the need for parliament to remain an inclusive workplace. churches
11:25 am
could soon allow witnesses at weddings to observe ceremonies via video calls ministers along with the church of england are considering putting remote witnessing into law currently all weddings are legally required to witnesses plus the couple and a wedding official to sign the marriage register in person but changes would enable a virtual witness to give an electronic signature the hope is the plan could help more marriages go ahead during the outbreak has tens of thousands of weddings face cancellation r.t.u. case martin andrews one ties the knot. dealy beloved we are not gathered here to join the people in. the crowd a virus crisis has put the brakes on weddings as we know them despite some easing of the lockdown marriage it seems is at the back of the queue i mean right now it's absolutely on its knees there is no wedding industry so i think a few things that will happen business next year will be really good. couples maybe
11:26 am
struggling to get bookings because. this year. there might be more people getting married because they're falling in love with that partners all over again because they've been trapped in a house didn't for 3 months might also be more divorces i guess. ultimately i think in the short segments it's really disastrous and the some real horror stories about there about where they can use not refunding fees to people really struggling but i think it'll just bounce back while thousands of couples with g. to get married this spring and summer with 19 has stopped anyone and everyone from walking up the aisle it was pretty devastating i mean we condon knew it was coming when it was made official that's when you're going to really really sunk in but where there's a will there's a way and many are just taking no for an answer if you can work online why not get

married to some decided to keep their wedding date to say i do that you really say we've got your back waldron's white rice our main is for white guy and she made the waiting for us you know problems and then called us up to you on my commitment ceremony and we didn't want it was told about it and it was just amazing it would have been a really rubbish day had we not had that wonderful way of marking the day really really give some of that forward to. of course there's a hitch all rather not a hitch even with a priest or registrar on the video call it's not legally binding these couple still need to get married properly when things are back to normal and while that could be a while off at the earliest a pencil in by the u.k. government for small weddings could be the end of june and only for england the other home nations are doing things their own way. but it does give those couples a chance to show their love for each other while syncrude in family and friends and
11:28 am
with 32000 council weddings in england and wales rising to 50000 by the end of the month that's a lot of people who really want to celebrate the couples who lost out on their dream day as zoom on line wedding is something they will always remember really excited and it was just touching the samedi people went to such efforts for us so our wedding things always been daffodils and yellow sujit to get back to the east bank holiday weekend and all of our guests turned up to wearing yellow or wearing a suit we definitely was on the table are difficult broaches means not that it was just really peak with effort it made so much effort for us as little touches made a big difference it might sound all a bit modern for what can be a very traditional institution and of course an online party is surely no substitute for a proper knees up but with so many adjusting to a new normal perhaps virtual weddings cheaper quicker no limits on guests and no
