it's seven weeks to the day since sadiq khan, the london mayor, called for this. it comes in. and the other aspect, and the prime minister has spoken about this, and he talked openly about the fact it doesn't make that much difference. they admit today there's a limited impact in terms of your health but it's partly about giving people confidence that it is safe to go back to particularly crowded public transport, because i think there have been concerns that people are incredibly anxious. they've watched everything for the last three months and some people are scared to go out, certainly to go on public transport, and they think this might help. and there is a bit of a regional — well, not regional, national element to this at the moment at least. yeah, and we were hearing from grant shapps that he was saying this is england only, but he hopes that the devolved administrations will follow suit, and we've heard conversations going on elsewhere in the uk — scotland, wales and northern ireland — about what they might do, not least because you get the inevitable ques

and then after much robbing from people like sadiq khan about the necessities of having it on one to... —— much lobbying from people exited co nfe re nce much lobbying from people exited conference up now much lobbying from people exited conference up now they want it... they could find you £80 under current guidelines in the same way that you can excite fines now for facemask. i think it is certainly quite striking how far it has left and changed the subject in the early days it was you are free to wear masks if you want but we are not going to recommend it, they hummed in hot, they wondered about whether they were going to have checks and people arriving in airports and now it is hard when toughened up but nobody's business. travel quarantine, almost compulsory. —— they hemmed and hawed. but for exceptions for the elderly, for children and for those with breathing difficulties. that is going to slow things down when people are getting on the tube or bus as well. let's go on to the guardian and go back to the guardian because we see that frontpage pursed of all but we now look at th

so sadiq khan didn't do this. he would be underfar not board up and protect the statues, he would be under far more attack for rain then be used in some kind of bait and some kind of race that idiots want to start. they had to be boarded up, it is the best thing to do whichever side you want to say you want to say your protecting foci —— in some kind of race protecting foci —— in some kind of ra ce we re protecting foci —— in some kind of race were the idiots want to start. afterwards when things become calm, which will not be when it is hot and sunny i am afraid, that is what matters. let's move onto the new york times, and they mention how your police put under scrutiny because of these protests, we were talking about the ones in the uk but also in germany, france. joe questioned my for police forces not just in france. joe questioned my for police forces notjust in the united states but whether they behaved ethically when it comes to racism. —— joe, questions for many police. the french come in for criticism in

. —— sadiq khan, overdue.e time. —— sadiq khan, but the government thinks people will co—operate, it could become less popular if people end up being fine. indeed. 0k, iain, thank you very much indeed. iain watson there. we'll be speaking to the transport secretary grant shapps at 7:30am. patients are being warned not to expect business as usual when dentists are allowed to reopen in england on monday, due to a shortage of protective equipment. nhs england insists it's continuing to work with dentists, but the british dental association says a survey of 2,000 practices suggests only a third are ready to carry out routine appointments. we are in a situation where many of my colleagues are really quite stressed with the timelines they have been given to actually deliver face—to—face services for patients. we are delighted we have been given the opportunity, we haven't really had the support we need, i don't think. many of my colleagues are reporting that monday is a deadline to reopen is not really something tha

sadiq kong would have come under huge criticism —— sadiq khan.n far right protesters, antagonist, what have you, and the small fraction of black lives matter activist who were disruptive and damaging in their behaviour would have been very, very difficult to deal with, far more difficult to deal with, far more difficult than simply putting up a barrier in parliament square. other statues have been covered up. i don't like seeing statue covered up. i also don't like seeing people dying at the hands of police officers, and i think that the strong feeling that many people that certain groups in this country have about the situation is demonstrated in the fact that they feel the need to march and to protest against the situation. i did it —— as it is their democratic right to do so, and ifa their democratic right to do so, and if a small number of people do attack statues, do graffiti, do cause trouble, that is indeed very sad. and not to be supported. i think when you look at the pollen on this, you see the majority of the people support the concern

but remember, the mayor of london sadiq khan has been calling for compulsory face coverings in the capital response to that is to say the timing now is because things are going to start to get busier. restrictions on england are starting to be lifted. there is also an element of trying to give people the confidence to get back onto public transport as they start to get back to some kind of normality. it is another reminder that everything to do with this crisis is notjust about the science. these are political decisions as well. vicki young, thank you. the uk's death toll from coronavirus rose again today to almost 40,000. in the past 24 hours, the deaths of another 176 people have been registered. since the beginning of march, 39,904 have now died. with me now is our health editor, hugh pym. i remember sitting here with you two months ago, and 20,000 was going to bea months ago, and 20,000 was going to be a good figure. it is now almost double that. yes, it was sir patrick vallance, the government's chief scientific adviser, who said early on that 20,000 deaths would be a good outcome, al

wine the 15th ofjune when sadiq khan the mayor of london was calling for it a couple of months ago andink it is because they had experience coming in from other countries where they have put in this measure and it seemed to have had an impact. if they decided it is the right thing to do now, why can't they do it they did with the lockdown was like we all got a couple of days notice about the lockdown changes, why can't they bring in soon enough? part of the reason is on the 15th ofjune there will be more easing of the lockdown, nonessential shops will be opened up. there's a sense that the country is getting back to work and as a result, now is the time to bring measure in. but the government did tell people a few weeks ago that more of them should be returning to work. we know that public transport is really struggling to cope, it is 0kfor is really struggling to cope, it is ok for the government to say try not to travel at peak times but it is very difficult to predict when trains are going to be busy. and surely you would want the measures in place whenever there is a significant nu

sadiq khan, the mayor of london, obviously welcomes what the government is doing but he had been callingince the beginning of march. he felt this was long overdue. my concern — and i'd go so far as to say my anger — is the delay it's taken, because this could mean more people having caught the virus in the community because there are some times where you simply can't keep a social distance, and this delay, i think, has been good for nobody. let's also talk about test and tracing, a crucial part of the strategy to get on top of the virus here. we are hearing that the app should be in place, it should be is the word, or the words, by the end of this month. in terms of trust and confidence, is this damaging, does the public actually believe that this app is going to be fully effective at that point? because lots of other countries have already beaten the uk to it. they have indeed. there is big controversy over what kind of app britain was going to be introducing compared to other countries. some have these so—called decentralised apps, this one wanted to link into the nhs. a bespoke app. t

the mayor of london, sadiq khan, has advocated this since march, and expressed his anger today that the long. my concern — and i'd go so far as to say my anger — is the delay it's taken, because this could mean more people having caught the virus in the community because there are some times where you simply can't keep a social distance, and this delay, i think, has been good for nobody. let's talk about the contact tracing app as part of the wider test and trace strategy here in england. the minister nadhim zahawi said last night, i would like to think we could manage getting the app up and running by the end ofjune. why has the government not managed to do it before now when so many other countries have? many other countries have and there has been a debate over the technology. some people say the government is insisting perhaps on having a centralised app, a bespoke app, so that it can more easily check people's medical records. there have been some concerns about personal security, but the government is trying to reassure people. it has been trialled on the isle of wight but has nev

the mayor of london, sadiq khan, joins us now. good morning to you. thank you for your time. of the black lives matter movement is please don't. we are still in the middle of a global pandemic and we know it is not possible with large numbers to keep a social distance, even if you're wearing a face covering and washing your hands and we got confirmation from around the world that others who have been involved in protests have caught the virus. we know that there will be some extreme far right far right protests taking place and what we don't want to see is violence, vandalism or disorder. so try and make sure you find another way of making your voice heard. try and make sure you find another way of making your voice heardm it difficult for you, personally, given your role and what you said in the past, to advise people not to go out and protest on an issue that is so important to so many people? one of the joys of living in a democracy, and i speak as someone with friends and family who haven't lived in democracy in other parts of world, we get to protest when we are unhappy

the guardian leads with plans being drawn up by london mayor sadiq khan to reduce tensions and address ethnic minorities. the picture shows a black lives matter sign being attached to the plinth of the edward colston statue that was destroyed on sunday by protesters. 0nline, the huffington post is also featuring an article on controversial statues now at the focus of the black lives matter movement. they say dozens of city councillors in oxford havejoined calls to remove the statue of imperialist cecil rhodes from a college at oxford university. from medical staff to cleaners and porters — behind every survivor of coronavirus is a team of people who helped them back to full health. breakfast‘s graham satchell has the story of one mum who says she owes everything to those who cared for her. when to those who cared for her. karen stevenson becar took when karen stevenson became ill, it took a small army of nhs staff to keep her alive. i was so frightened, you know? somebody is telling you that you've got to be put on a ventilator into an induced coma for two week to give you any chance t

what sadiq khan is doing in terms of setting up the commission and what other mayors are doing in termsy talking about how the slave trade helped us to grow and develop and become an important world power? why aren't we talking about that and how that past has informed our present and will inform our future? of has informed our present and will inform ourfuture? of course i have seen things change since i came to this country. i am not denying that. but that change is much, much too slow. the reason i sat on those committees, the reason that david lammy led that report that he did on the criminal justice lammy led that report that he did on the criminaljustice system, is because we continue to see the inequality, the injustice, the brutality, being meted out against our young people. my sister and i set upa our young people. my sister and i set up a charity, the amos bursary. i can't look those young men in the eye. they work hard, they get to university, they come to me and they say, we have done our best, we have done what we have been advised to do, and yet we are not even getting in

government, city can't as the mayor of london, tower hamlets or the government, that is only right —— sadiq khaning held by a different minister to look at. mark sedwill, the cabinet secretary, said the specifics had closed and we need to focus on getting children back into school. i was hoping to talk about the buildup for business and planning to allow restaurants and pubs to operate alfresco dining. let's talk about that now because you are aware that the weather conditions are making people concerned about people gathering and social distancing, real concerns about that today, so what is your advice to people as they try to go outdoors but often they are gathering in the same places together. the british people have been truly fantastic. there's surveys around the world about how different nations have behaved when looking at the guidelines and staying alert to control the virus and we are right up there and i want us and we are right up there and i want us to remain at the top of the league. you can gather outdoors in groups of six and two households can gather indoors and enjoy each other‘

that is the mayor of london, sadiq khan there.t the statues who have gathered in quite some numbers in central london. there has been some conflict with the police, some bottles thrown and some sporadic outbursts all through the afternoon. this is a public square, you can still see there are still some police force offices and protesters visibly there. we know that the black lives matter organisers asked people to leave a couple of hours ago now and the bigger number by far has been those saying they gather to protect the statue of the boarded up winston churchill statue, which we can see there in the heart of westminster at central london. people who live alone in england and northern ireland will be able to form what's being called a support bubble with another household from today, in a further easing of coronavirus lockdown rules. adults who live alone will be allowed to visit another household and are even allowed to stay overnight. in england, the rule also applies to single parents with children under 18. our correspondent
