"black lives matter," tens of thousands cry. "i cannot ignore your strength of feeling," the prime minister responds — today announcing a commission to investigate racial inequality in britain and report in six months. what has slightly been lost in all of this is the story of success. and what i really want to do as prime minister is change the narrative, so we stop the sense of victimisation and discrimination. it is both condescending and untrue. it's not a "sense" of victimisation or discrimination, it is the everyday reality. we're here today to remember george floyd... details of how the commission will work are sketchy, with officials apparently taken by surprise. there have been questions as to whether the policy has been properly thought

labour's shadowjustice secretary, david lammy condemned yesterday's protest. is no place for attacks on police officers. these scenes were ugly. and very, very threatening. and the scene involving urinating at pc palmer's memorial was utterly despicable and must have hurt his family greatly. fast—track, yes, absolutely we want a speedy justice but fast—track, yes, absolutely we want a speedyjustice but i would say we have a massive backlog in our justice system because of coronavirus. how the government is going to do that we will certainly scrutinise. moving to france now where there have been clashes between protesters and police in several cities across france. demonstrators are demanding an end to racism in french society as part of the black lives matter movement. police fired tear gas after crowds threw fireworks and bottles. gail maclellan has this report. demonstrations were most intense in the capital, paris, but also took place in marseille, nice and lyon. chanting in the capital, around 15,000 gathered in place de la republique. they say the suppose

david lammy has also been on andrew marr programme this morning.hat does the signs say? follow the signs. secondly, be frank and honest with the public in balancing risk, andl with the public in balancing risk, and i think the government has been slow, slow on testing, slow on lockdown, slow on ppe, and i suspect they will be slow on this. the warning to the government is that potentially millions ofjobs could be lost in the hospitality industry. rishi sunak was talking about the economic prospects for the country going ahead, and he says there will be hardship, that is very clear, and hospitality in particular, but also retail. the reason they want to see the two metre rule relax days, put simply, if you have a two metre rule in place, you can get fewer people into your venue, your pub garden, and if you have one metre, you can get more in, make more money, after being in lockdown for weeks and weeks. as you say, manyjobs seem to be at stake by the hospitality sector, i think that is why they have set this forth of the july date, not long for the

it was commissioned by the vampire minister david cameron, david lammy was able to speak and carry outd when you are from a minority and that report had enormous numbers of recommendations, largely i have to admit requiring money, and we were still in the middle of austerity of the time, however, there was a clear need for cultural change and the reality is that i would go as far as saying nothing is changed. a lot of boxes have been checked, a lot of people, organisations and said they got diversity at the core of their businesses, and said they would change the guidelines and even employ more people from minority communities. the reality however is the are where we were 20 years ago. i wonder why this happened? you talked about it costing money and austerity, obviously a lot of this focus on bame in the criminal justice system in america, how police treat black people and so on, there was a huge report at the end of the 1960s, which came to exactly the same conclusion as the david lammy report. nothing happened in america nothing happened here, so why do you think that happened? why?

david lammy said it was insulting and deeply embarrassing and he is not the only one criticising the compare the protest and the symbolic gesture of taking the knee to the game of thrones was too flippant, not a serious and we need a level of leadership that is better than that. people are deeply worried about in charge of the aid budget, doesn't understand the depth of feeling about racism in our society. taking the knee has long history, martin luther king did it in prayer in america in the 1960s. in four yea rs in america in the 1960s. in four years ago, the american footballer, colin kaepernick, provoked a huge debate in the states when he did it during the american national anthem to protest against racial injustice and police brutality. the foreign secretary has now sought to clarify what he said. he didn't apologise but said he had full respect for the black lives matter movement. taking the knee has become a symbol of global protest loaded with huge feeling and sensitivities. 0ne critics insist their man's diplomatic language from the foreign secretary. chris mason, bbc news.

and the criticism came pretty quick, didn't it, from david lammy, the shadow justice secretary, froma nandy, the opposition number, the shadow foreign secretary and anne davey from the lib dems and as you say, that diplomat in chief role, laura, there was the foreign secretary giving a whole round of interviews, the morning round, as we call it, popping up on numerous tv and radio outlets all morning, gets to the last one, before he goes off to meet his french opposite number and, you know, said something that isn't very diplomatic and becomes the news story. and i think, unfortunately, you know, the government keeps saying, they keep saying repeatedly, we understand the frustrations of people, we are going to have another review, but there have been a few little moments where people who suspect that actually they don't really get it in government, they don't really understand the frustrations of people or the depths of it or the depths of the anxiety. this adds to the impression that some people have that actually the government doesn't really get how strong the feelings are and mis

david lammy, who we heard from then, he produced his own enquiry into the criminaljustice system.egor smith who did an enquiry into workplace discrimination, baroness angelini who did an enquiry into deaths in police custody. we have the windrush enquiry. we have a whole filing cabinet full of reports. i suppose the blunt question is, what is this report going to provide what we don't know already. that is the big? allied to the slightly raggedy way it has been launched. let's talk to the actor and black lives matter campaigner, imarn ayton. what do you think this report will achieve? i hope that it achieves a huge amount of growth in our society. it is very important for those representing black lives matter and the united kingdom as a whole. i do hope that is what it leads to. do you welcome the announcement of this commission? yes, i was very, very happy, very, very happy. i think it is excellent news. i will refer to the fact we have had many enquiries in the past, we have had grenfell, there has been i'io we have had grenfell, there has been no prosecutions or charges. i do h

was going to ask you, too, you know, when you look at the uk where you are, i think it was 2017, the lammyiew showed that black people comprised 3% of the population, they make up about 12% of the prison population. in the u.s. it's even a greater disparity. i think more than 30%, on average. what do you think of the root causes of that and how to, you know, alleviate that, mitigate that? >> well, i think that the root causes of that are that a lot of the legislation and a lot of the laws that were passed into so-called guarantee racial equality haven't made the kind of substantive transformations that we like to believe that they have. and i think that a lot of people, a lot of the younger generation that's currently leading these kind of black lives matter protests all around the world have grown up being told that they were equal, that, you know, that racism was something of the past, and as they are emerging into adulthood, they're seeing that, whether it's in criminal justice, like you mentioned, whether it's in education, whether it's in housing, whether it's in employment, the stati

but i must stress that on the lammy report and on all these matters, it is vital at the same time thatn not implemented, so it is important that they are implemented in accordance with those reports. mr speaker, the latest report is the public health england report on the disproportionate impact of covid—19. that report concluded that death rates are highest amongst black and asian ethnic groups, and it went on to say, and this was the important bit, that it is already clear that releva nt bit, that it is already clear that relevant guidance and key policies should be adapted to mitigate the risk. if it is already clear that guidance and policy need to be changed, why has the government not already acted? we are already acting, andi already acted? we are already acting, and i can tell him that what we are doing as a result of the report by professor fenton, which again we commissioned, we are looking at the particular exposure of black and minority ethnic groups to coronavirus, and be no doubt, they have been at the forefront of they have been at the forefront of the struggle against c

the shadow justice secretary, david lammy, made clear how embarrassing it was for the foreign secretarynd to protest american police brutality. sensibly, he did not comment any further when he did not comment any further when he was out to do so but got that tweet out making it clear he respected people's rights to take the knee, as it were, and he also from his point of view made it very clear he also understood that black lives matter movement. but ethic the criticism of the government is, has it respond quick enough? the criticisms have been, borisjohnson has put up a commission to look at inequality. nonetheless, it was curtis eyes for being pushed out with no remit and no idea for the commissioners were, so anything which shows a lack of understanding of how this movement came about has potentially damaged the government ata potentially damaged the government at a very volatile time. to be clear, iain, you don't have to take any to stand in solidarity with the black lives matter protest, do you? what staggers loud people as he thought this came from game of thrones, and this been p

. —— david lammy. and i think that is the main the government is facing is this was a quick reaction to what has been going on over the last couple of weeks, announcing a review, governments do this kind of thing all the time. the problem they've got is if this is seen to be kicking the problem into the long grass, another report by the end of the year rather than implementing what has already been done, then they will come in for more criticism and talking about the use of language, borisjohnson talking about talking about the use of language, boris johnson talking about the sense of victimisation and dissemination. you want to stop, he says, the sense of victimisation, which has been condemned by some labour mps saying it's insulting but borisjohnson was my point in his article today, he says there have been some successes and he acknowledges there are still problems but he wants to look at the success and progress that there has been. talking interestingly about celebrating successes, notjust focusi
