james shaw and iain watson, thank you both.n england and wales are nearly twice as likely to die from coronavirus than people from white backgrounds — that's according to new research by the office for national statistics. it found that people from all other ethnic minorities, except women with chinese ethnicity, were also more likely to die from covid—19, compared with people from white backgrounds. our community affairs correspondent rianna croxford is here. this raises many questions. we have asked them over the months of this pandemic but we don't seem to have many answers? definitely. the ons study today is really comprehensive. what they have tried to do is make it as even a playing field as possible by accounting for sex, geography, or conditions. they split those factors and said if we do this are people from ethnic minority backgrounds are still more likely to die than white people in england and wales ? die than white people in england and wales? the answer they have come up with is yes. for instance, black men and wo

our first report is from our correspondent james shaw on today's changes to the rules in scotland. steps which will nevertheless feel like a big difference from the lockdown which scotland has been underfor the last lockdown which scotland has been under for the last ten weeks. there is, for some, is what a small amount of freedom looks like. for others, it will be different, but for all, a chance to enjoy activities which haven't been possible since march. here in the south of glasgow, players were delighted to be able to get out on the courts again. the ability to do a bit of sport, to see ability to do a bit of sport, to see a few familiar faces, it feels great. obviously, aided by the weather, the weather has been nice today. it feels a bit surreal still because this is basically the first day back. it's such a great feeling. it does bring positivity and you can see some light at the end of the tunnel now. it just see some light at the end of the tunnel now. itjust feels really good to be able to do something different because we've just been going on walks and we've not been a

james shaw, bbc news, glasgow. weekend before they can gather in parks and gardens, in groups of no more than 6. but the chief scientific adviser is urging people to stick to social distancing guidelines, as restrictions are eased. anna collinson reports. a party in the garden with friends, maybe even a barbecue. it may feel like a distant memory but soon, for many in england, it can be a reality. the government says from monday, friends and family can meet in a group of six or less, including private gardens. but there are concerns. you know, this thing, you can get it from touching something. so, it‘s a bit scary. so, still have to be very careful. ithink, though, it's a bit difficult for people that are in relationships and other households that can't hug each other and stuff like that. restrictions may be being eased but strict rules are still in place. people are advised to wash their hands regularly. overnight stays are a no, but if you really need to, you can use another house‘s toilet, as long as you clean

let us go to our correspondent james shaw in glasgow.ing people and absolutely no doubt what she feels about the lockdown rules. that is right. you heard her saying that they are. the lockdown remains in place in scotland. with this one slightly minor tweak, really, place in scotland. with this one slightly minortweak, really, or possible tweak that over the weekend, she will make some announcement possibly about whether people might be allowed out of the house to exercise more than once per day, but on the face of it, from what we are hearing, particularly from wales, the lockdown is going to be, as faras from wales, the lockdown is going to be, as far as we can tell, just slightly stricter in scotland because there is not expected to be any announcement about gardening centres or other details like that. just strictly the possibility that there might be an allowance for slightly more outdoor exercise. 0ne of the other things that nicola sturgeon said during that brief and just half an hour or so ago was that she did have her and the ot

our correspondent, james shaw, is in glasgow. what else has she been saying?ch she will explain on thursday, and it could be that those changes would start coming into effect on the 28th of this month, so a week on thursday. that really does depend on whether the infection rate continues to go down, and the number of cases continues on a downward trajectory which it's on at the moment and it would be small changes to start with. allowing people outdoors to sit on park benches, which they are currently not allowed to do. and more outdoor activities, allowing some outdoor work where there was a social distancing, also, she said there would be more details about how schools and businesses might start up again. but we don't expect there to be specific dates connected with that. it is still the case, although we are seeing a way that the lockdown may be eat in scotland, it's still going to be some days —— eased in scotland, it still going to be some days before we see it coming into effect. and thatis we see it coming into effect. and that is coming too late for sc

but first, the picture in scotland with james shaw. he's in glasgow.on in scotland is really breathtakingly simple. no change at all. today will be the same as yesterday, and that will continue for at least a week. the only minor change is that people will be allowed to exercise more than once a day. but nicola sturgeon made it clear in her briefing earlier on that that doesn't mean there is a licence to sunbathe or go for picnics, it is not an excuse to go to the beach or the park to make friends, it is purely for the purpose of exercise. on schools, she made it clear that they will not open, no schools will open on the ist open, no schools will open on the 1st of open, no schools will open on the ist ofjune, and that therefore means it is now quite unlikely that any schools will start before the beginning of the summer holidays, which are earlier in scotland than they are in the rest of the uk. so, they are in the rest of the uk. so, the lockdown remains in place, and it remains around me here in glasgow very, very quiet, not much traffic on the road

earlier our scotland correspondent james shaw explained that while there are positive signs, ms sturgeonsaid that as things stand, there are some encouraging signs, so for example the weekly death rate in scotland has gone down, last week it was 523 people who died with coronavirus, the week before it was 658. and there are other positive signs as well but before that she said point of view she said that they weren't strong enough that there wasn't another strong enough indication that they wouldn't be another resurgence of the virus. there was only one small concession, a small concession, i think your probably referred to it briefly earlier on, which was where she said that she did feel it would just possible that in terms of people going out to exercise that they might be allowed to do that more than once a day and she felt that that was something that could happen relatively soon, but if the readings of what borisjohnson is going to do on sunday are correct, and we don't know that for sure at the moment, but that lockdown might start in england, might start to be eased on monday, the

we also heard from chris page, tomos morgan and james shaw.n made a televised address last night, the publication of the document at two o'clock, and parliament feels it is sort of coming third in a sense. i suspect that although those guidelines have come out, because johnson is still going to face quite a pressure over the next hours or so. we know the labour party is really unhappy with the way they are approaching the government. they cannot work from home, they should be going back to work in england. keir starmer has raised concerns about that and he is also quite concerned about the mixed message and, as he sees it, in the prime minister's statement last night and we might hear some of that from him. there will inevitably be questions about why the guidelines are so different in england from scotland, wales and northern ireland put at the snp are unhappy in scotla nd put at the snp are unhappy in scotland that borisjohnson has not made it clear that the plans are just for england at the moment. i suspect we will get more of those questi

but first to james shaw in glasgow. it is relatively straightforward in scotland. she is looking at things like recycling and waste disposal sites and garden centres and seeing if they can be reopened in the nearfuture. she may have something to say about that next weekend. and also work that can be done outside in a way where social distancing is possible. but she was very clear that schools in scotla nd she was very clear that schools in scotland will not open, no schools will open on the 1st ofjune. so it is increasingly unlikely schools will open in scotland before the summer holidays, which start around about the end ofjune. so for the time being, the situation in scotland, the roads remain relatively quiet, scotland remains on lockdown and now to my colleague tomos morgan in cardiff. the situation in wales is similar to that in scotland, the first minister here mark dra keford, that in scotland, the first minister here mark drakeford, echoing what nicola sturgeon has been saying, the advice will be stay at home in wales. they are not following boris johnson‘s
