everything is ok, you're at the royal london hospital. london. don't be fooled by the gentle pace.is twisted here. on the royal london hospital's coronavirus wards, while many patients inhabit ventilated worlds of slow motion dreams and hallucination, the doctors and nurses charged with bringing them back to life inhabit the real world, where time moves too quickly as this cruel disease eats away at human lungs with frightening speed. can we just do a couple more suctions? but the medical staff, including consultant pj zolfaghari, have their own nightmare. then, as our interview ends, he is called away. i will be two minutes. his two minutes turn into several agonising hours. i see you are working hard to ventilate him. we have permission by all of the patients or their families to film. and this patient‘s vital signs have worsened. he isjust 55. and again. go, go, go, go. the professionalism of the team is stunning. years of experience are gathered around this bed, as the duality of time, the drifting, oblivious patient and the rush to save his life merge into a tableau for our ti

the police warned people to keep away from central london.ar square. you can see people standing around a bit quite a heavy police presence and we have seen people throwing bottles, possibly other things, at police officers. and different groups moving, running at times. and this was initially centred around the churchill statue, which has been boxed up in the knowledge the protests were going to be held today. a section 60 order has been put in place for part of london that allows police to stop and search in the capital. these are say it is the priority to keep the community is a safe and the home secretary priti patel has also responded on 22 the footage of the clashes we have seen. she says it is thoroughly unacceptable, any perpetrators of violence should expect to face the full force of the law. violence will not be tolerated. coronavirus remains a threat. go home to stop the spread of the virus and save lives. but this is parliament square now. you can see british flags and a number of different groups. we know some have been singing t

first, what did you make of what we saw in central london today?violence is to be condemned. the desecration of keith palmer's monument is appalling, and there is absolutely no need for that. in our country and our democracy, there is an opportunity and a right to protest, but the issue is to protest peacefully. last week, we had the black lives matter protests, and people are perfectly entitled to protest in the way that they want to, so long as it is peaceful. this week, we've had the alternative side protesting, in this case, not necessarily peacefully. and i believe at the moment five people have been arrested, metropolitan has clearly determined those individuals broke the law and needed to be arrested. as the home secretary said, if you break the law then you will be arrested, and that is right. but people do have a right to protest. however, in the current time, when there is the coronavirus outbreak, everybody is asking people to stay away, to stay at home, and to stay away, to stay at home, and to be safe, and to keep themselves, theirfami

i mean, in london -- it's very interesting how that vote broke down. london, i think, overwhelmingly voted to remain, but it is younger, much more cosmopolitan. city,a very multicultural i think there were people, particularly in rural areas, who really, you know hated that. frankly, to this country in certain ways, so i think there are all sorts of elements. i get the impression everybody passed.ked that brexit everybody was saying, it's one of those things were just like during the war where the draft . in 1941, congress voted to continue the draft, the peacetime draft a few months before we got into the war. and everybody in congress said, "oh, it is going to pass, so i do not have to vote for it. i can be a moral coward and not pass,"r it, but it will and it only passed by one vote. i think there might have been some of that. a lot of younger voters did not vote because they thought it would pass, they did not have to vote. they found out they were wrong. i know that there was a polish brigade that fought with allies in normandy. where there any co

this is the scene right now in central london. pleas by the mayor of london and by government ministers not to attend because of coronavirus have been ignored. we are in a health pandemic across the united kingdom and coronavirus is a deadly virus and of course, i would say to those that want to protest, please don't. nhs trusts in england say they were not consulted — or given any notice — of a government announcement friday that all hospital staff will have to wear surgical masks from a week on monday. thousands demonstrated in sydney this saturday against racism. some treated themselves after having pepper sprayed on them by police. a u—turn by the bosses of american football — they say they were wrong to ban players from protesting against police brutality. and prince william reveals he's become a volunteer counsellor on mental health. hello and, if you've justjoined us, welcome to bbc news for viewers in the uk and around the world. i'm shaun ley with the latest news and analysis from here and across the globe. thousands of p

the mayor of london has said this is totally u na cce pta ble, we the mayor of london has said this ise, we will not tolerate attacks on our police and they will feel the full force of the love. it is clear far right groups are causing violence and disorder in central london. i urge people to stay away. we also know the black lives matter group who gathered in hyde park have urged their supporters to disperse and leave the area. obviously nobody wants any violence to escalate and the police are out in force today in central london urging members of the public to stay away if they can. meanwhile in france anti—racism protesters are gathering in paris and other cities for demonstrations against police violence. sparked by the death of george floyd in the united states, french campaigners are highlighting similar local issues. the rallies are organised under the banner truth for adama, after adama traore, who died in police custody, with protesters chanting slogans calling for justice. the government is allowing the demonstrations to go ahead despite the coronavirus restrictions. brazil h

that is the royal london hospital in east london. how the nhs in england is trying to adapt to the new reality of a virus that, at the moment, has no cure or vaccine and the continuing grief of those in the local community who have been worst affected. you make may find some of the scenes in his report upsetting. this is the story of one hospital and one community. in the time of covid—19. their harmony in the face ofan covid—19. their harmony in the face of an almighty challenge. what does the future hold for the men and women in and out of uniform? and can the nhs adapted to a new normal way of working? with a virus that could be here to stay. we were given unprecedented access to the covid—19 wards of the royal london hospital and east end. we had permission from all the patients and their families to film. go go go. we watch the agonising attacks. lets call the family. to save this man who was just 55. and we spoke with a nurse, the only person by his side as he slipped away. ijust sat on a chair and held his hand to be with him

london. thousand protesters are still there. just to show you the geography, this is on the south bank at nine elms, vauxhall bridgejust a little further down the embankment there. earlier the uk health secretary matt hancock repeated his call for people not to take part because of the risk of spreading coronavirus. 0nly only six people are officially allowed to gather. here in london, the demonstration began at 2pm with protestors kneeling in a tribute to george floyd. yesterday's demonstrations in london saw 14 people arrested after clashes with police and 14 officers were injured. 27 in total last week. police chief cressida dick urged protesters to "find another way" of making their views heard, which does not involve coming out on the streets of london. 0ur correspondent, chi chi izundu, gave me the latest from central london. it is indeed. i don't know if you can see the people behind me, they have taken be me in a peaceful protest a nd have taken be me in a peaceful protest and they ar

hejoins us from north london.ernment will have this formal review on possibly cutting the two metres rule? yes, i am pleased that at last there is a real focus on this, because it is critical. as i say, all the evidence for this already shows that it is wholly feasible to move to one metre, other countries have gone to one, france, germany at 1.5. two metres, most of the scientists now agree, isn't absolutely vitally necessary at all, because the likelihood of airborne transmission is very small indeed, at two metres it is about 1.6%, and at two metres it is about 1.6%, and at one metre it is about 2.6%, and if you wear facemasks, that get it down below 1%. so the reality is it isa down below 1%. so the reality is it is a very small chance, and outside it is almost negligible, so it is very important, because transport, for example, in london, 40% of those who work go there by public transport, and if you don't get it down to one metre, they want to be able to use public transport, so businesses won't be able to w
