you know but what we haven't been to trafalgar square as yet trafalgar square was supposed to have been under new conditions implemented by the police on friday night the end point of the black lives matter march and demonstration that was to have gone ahead today but was then canceled on friday by its organizers but the police said they felt it was likely that a significant number would come out anywhere anyway so i can't attest to what's happening in trafalgar square but yes the idea was that they would then be allowed to approach whitehall from either end of whitehall in that they would be a barrier at the north end of police and a barrier at the south end of the police essentially keeping the 2 sides apart the police say they have sympathy with the need that protesters have to mount these protests they have pointed out that tends to be these are illegal protests because of the complete and utter lack of social distancing going on and they say that arrests will be carried out if these strict conditions aren't adhere to including a curfew at 5 pm this evening but as i say it's already

everyone to stay home the threat of spreading the coronavirus was too great but in the air at trafalgar square smoke bombs in tear gas bottles and rocks were the main concern as police try to keep anti-racism protests separated from counter protests nearly everyone breaching pandemic risk measures peaceful or not i think that one of the main train stations black lives matter marches were right in the face of police. on this square police gave ground to right wing activists at one point but took it back a little later. on this boulevard though they conceded the space was the prime minister called it racist thuggery tweeting that these marches and protests have been subverted by violence and breach current guidelines. current condemning timelines that his interior minister said have to be follow but i think we should all be very mindful of the fact that these gazans will spread this disease and put people's health at risk and thought of something else except for we want to prevent that. in paris a massive anti police brutality march set for on a virus distancing concerns aside but authorities al

they have gathered around trafalgar square. and in some numbers. it is made up of people who have come along to protect the statues and think it is important and felt unhappy at what happened in the last few days. clearly also some right wing groups also gathering. and there was intelligence this was going to be happening. that is why some of the black lives matter protesters gathered yesterday, to avoid any kind of big stand—off. from today, places of worship in england can reopen — but only for private prayer, and under strict conditions. many muslim and orthodoxjewish communities, whose worship often revolves around communal gatherings, will have to wait until the 4th ofjuly at the earliest. qari asim is a senior imam at makkah mosque in leeds. he is also chair of mosque and imams national advisory board, an independent body here in the uk. how difficult has it been for people not to be able to gather and how do you feel about the fact you have to wait longer? reopening places of worship from this weekend is a symbolic and positive step and we w
