Relatives of george floyd, the unarmed black man killed as he was detained by police in minneapolis, are accompanying tens of thousands of people on a march through his hometown of houston, texas. Its also where hell be buried. George floyds brother, terrence, has again called for peace. Protests over the killing are now entering their 8th night, despite curfews in dozens of cities. There are reports of protests at various levels in all 50 states. In washington dc, a peaceful protest outside the white house, 2a hours ago, before curfew, was forcibly cleared by police using tear gas, to allow President Trump through for his photo op outside the church of the president s, now the subject of much criticism. The protest tonight has been big and possibly expired bite last night event. Choked with emotions, the mother of George Floyds daughter speaks with emotion. He will never walk her down the aisle. She needs her dad. She does not have dad anymore. Roxie washington said he was a good father who continued to ta ke good father who continued to take care of his family after he moved from houston to minneapolis. Whats she wants now is just as the hem and gianna. Sharing and their pain and the pain of the nation, tens of thousands marched through the streets of downtown houston, alongside them, 16 members of the floyd family who again urged protesters to remain peaceful. They are expecting you to behave unbecomingly, to act like a fool. You do not have to do that. Look around we are all aware god. We are already god. The fight has to be more like a marathon and we hope we continue to get support as we seekjustice for our continue to get support as we seek justice for our brother. One victory, the state wet mr floyd died, minnesota, announced the civil rights investigation of the Minneapolis Police department. The governor said Police Policy and practices over the last ten yea rs and practices over the last ten years will be scrutinised. Minnesotans, we will deconstruct systemic racism generations deep and as we move forward we will do it with the community. The thing i am hearing from the protest disease, we are not watching and we do not care what you say, we ca re and we do not care what you say, we care what you do. Protests across the country show no sign of waning tuesday night. In new york union square, nurses took to their knees to show solidarity with activists. Healthcare workers have been killed daily fighting coronavirus but they thought it more appropriate to uphold and honour those fighting a different kind of disease. Officials praise for another night of demonstrations and possible unrest. After months of everly quiet streets, new york, once the epicentre of the coronavirus epidemic is starting to reopen. Eerily. They are now fighting injustice and inequality. Our north america correspondent peter bowes has been following the protests in the us, with the mood slightly changing from previous days. I detect that the mood has indeed changed over the last 2a hours, mike. Certainly very different to the mood and nature of the demonstrations that we witnessed over the weekend. A very large demonstration taking place right now here in los angeles. Theres a large crowd close to city hall, in downtown los angeles. And in another part of town, theres a famous intersection, hollywood and vine you might have heard of it its very close to the Capital Records building, one of the best known landmarks in hollywood. A large crowd there, throughout the day. And noticeably, a very peaceful crowd, a very relaxed atmosphere and you could just tell the relations between those protesters and the police on duty at the time was very good, and that was an atmosphere that we did not see a couple of days ago in los angeles and the scenes are being repeated around the country. In houston, there is another large protest, being led by some members of george Lloyds Family and his friends. In new york city and in washington as well and cu rfews have already come into force in some of those cities, much earlier in the evening than on previous days and at the big question is, will people decide to go home or stay and protest for the rest of the evening . Some of those protesters saying that they view not going home defying the curfew as an act of civil disobedience that they believe is justified to get their messages and get their points across. Clashes have also erupted between police and protestors in paris. Demonstrators are demanding justice for a black man who died in Police Custody 4 years ago. The death of adama traore sparked demonstrations at the time, and many see parallels with the case of george floyd in the us. Rich preston has this report. Around 20,000 people marched towards a quartier in northern paris. In a protest that had been banned by authorities, citing health fears over the spread of coronavirus. Demonstrators are demanding justice for adama traore, who died in Police Custody in 2016. He was 2a years old. His death sparked days of demonstrations at the time, with many saying he had been pinned to the ground. The officers who detained adama were exonerated. Many see similarities with the case of george floyd. Translation what is happening to the United States has today brought to light what is happening in france. Today you need to be the spokespeople, we need to be the spokespeople of what is happening in france. We need to end the racism that is happening here in france. Despite starting peacefully, the protests turned violent. Demonstrators threw stones at police, who fired back with tear gas. Adama traores family say they have not given up the campaign of seeking justice for a man, they say, died as a result of racism and Police Brutality. But this demonstration is the biggest show of support the campaign has seen in a long time. Paris is a culturally and ethnically diverse city, but many say its black population suffer injustices at the hands of a system stacked against them. These protesters say they have been mobilised to take to the streets with the case of adama traore so fresh in recent memory and galvanised by what french people are seeing happening in the United States. Rich preston, bbc news. More on the protest a little later. First let round up some of the other news. The number of the other news. The number of infections in brazil is still increasing with 31,000 people now dying. Indian authorities evacuating people in coastal areas as a cyclone develops in the arabian sea. It is likely to hit the coast near mumbai on wednesday. Thousands of people have already left at home. A conference on yemen has received ledgers far short of the target 2. 5 billion. The un secretary general said aid workers face a race against time ina workers face a race against time in a country now facing the spread of coronavirus. An official report by Public Health england has found that, although age is the biggest risk factor for covid 19, black, asian and other ethnic minority communities in the uk are more likely than white people to die from the disease. Rianna croxford reports. One family, one household, with the odds stacked against them. Abdullah used to collect passengers to his taxi but now only picks up groceries. He is black, male, aged 59, and was born outside of the uk, putting him at high risk to catching covid 19. He lives with three generations in milton keynes. Feeling unsafe, he chose to stop working near the start of the pandemic and has no income. The government is supposed to really help them but they have been ignored because there is no ppe, theres no help, theres no even proper advices. His daughter, khadijah, is a nurse, a key worker, and says she has been unprotected on the front line. The ppe, to be frank, is very, very selective, very, very selective. But it depends on where you are working. If you are working in a low risk area, its fine, but if you are working in an area where you are in contact with those with coronavirus, i think it is right for you to have the right ppe. But khadijahs concerns have not been addressed in the government review released today, confirming that people from black and asian backgrounds are disproportionately dying from this disease. I put those concerns to the Health Secretary, matt hancock. Many people from black and minority ethnic backgrounds will be confused why it has taken six weeks for the government to simply confirm what studies have already shown, that they are dying with covid 19 at significantly higher rates. Why havent you done more to protect and support these communities . You are absolutely right that there is much more work that needs to be done and this report shows that. So we are asking i have asked the equalities minister, kemi badenoch, to take this forward and to look into the causes and what further can be done. Divina is a nurse from birmingham looking for an answer. Yeah, it makes you even more anxious, thinking how can you sort of minimise the risk slightly. But i cant, because of the colour i am, and i cant change it. There are many factors driving these figures and they point towards socioeconomic inequalities an existing problem the pandemic has only further exposed. Rianna croxford, bbc news.

Today is the 20th anniversary of the release of the beatles lp, sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club band, a record described as the album of the century. This is bbc news. The latest headlines crowds of people in major cities across the us defy curfews, as the countrys eighth night of unrest gets under way. Trumps likely rival in novembers election, joe biden, accuses mrtrump offanning the flames of hate. U nrest unrest is being compared to the long hot summers of the 1960s when Many American cities were rocked by racial unrest. Helen thomson at the university of michigan is among those. Thomson at the university of michigan is among thosem definitely is a moment, one thatis definitely is a moment, one that is reminiscent of others in American History as you mentioned, like the 1960s. It also different because we have not just one also different because we have notjust one or two or three things that are motivating people to take to the streets but many. Certainly inspired by Police Brutality but escalated by Rising Economic inequality and other issues being fanned by the Trump Administration. Do you think there are lessons to be learned from the 1960s . Absolutely. The first is that when we allow a citizenry to go through the system and do everything they are supposed to do to remedy wrongs and to get things addressed and when that just never happens, eventually there is a collective sense of despair and trauma and anger and people take to the streets and people take to the streets and the 1960s showed us that. The other lesson is that the people on high, the people in power can certainly do something to respond to this level of outcry from the streets and so far we are not seeing that. We are simply seeing that. We are simply seeing more police be deployed. We had spike lee on the programme and he points out that he feels the tensions in the United States go back centuries to the land grab from the native americans, the genocide of americans that make native americans, enslavement of african americans. Our own country has a country built on slavery. Has a move on from that . Spike lee is absolutely correct. Racism and White Supremacy is baked into the dna of this country and so one might think that there is no way forward but, in fact, there are all kinds of ways to make society more just and more humane and it really has to start with reining in a criminal Justice System start with reining in a criminalJustice System that com pletely criminalJustice System that completely penalises black and brown citizens here far more than white and, also, with some measure of economic redistribution. We have economic inequality that rivals the gilded age here. We do not know the exact solution but we have a long way to go before we can say that there are those solutions. We know what they would look like. Professor Heather Thompson there. The british Prime Minister is saying that the uk is prepared to reactive china imposes a National Security law in hong kong. In an article published in the South China Morning Post and in the times he writes that if china imposes law, the uk will change immigration laws and allow hong kong passport holders to come. If china imposes its National Security law, the British Government will change our immigration rules and allow any holder of these passports from hong kong to come to the uk for a renewable period of 12 months and be given further immigration rights, including the right to work, which could place them on a route to citizenship. Meanwhile, hong kong chief executive carrie lam is in beijing later to discuss the new security law which would make it a crime to undermine beijings authority. Hong kong could be on the verge of changing forever, and many fear it is now part of a new cold war between washington and beijing. Danny vincent looks at what all of this means for hong kongers. These are front line members of the protest movement in hong kong. Fearful of arrest, they agreed to speak to us under the condition of anonymity. A year ago, they were ordinary hong kongers. But now beijing says protestors like them represent a threat to National Security. If the Chinese Communist party tries to destroy hong kong, the hong kongers will try to resist and revenge in every single way that we could. And every way that we can to try to make them burn with us politically, economically, and internationally. If we burn, they burn with us. Last week, china passed a National Security law which would make it a crime to undermine beijings authority. Many fear this could bring the city under beijings full control. The new law is aimed at stopping protesters exactly like them. Critics fear that hong kong is now on the verge of changing forever. The details of this new National Security law have yet to be discussed. But many fear that hong kong is already in the middle of a new cold war between washington and beijing. President trump said that the us would subject hong kong to many of the same restrictions as mainland china, especially on trade. Many businesses here say that it is america, not beijing, that is threatening the stability of hong kong, one of the biggest financial hubs in the world. The Trump Administration said they stand with hong kong and support hong kong people, but on the other hand, is punishing hong kong. China and the United States are the two Major Trading partners of hong kong. So now the two big countries are having a fight with hong kong sitting in the middle. Bella is a 17 year old student who could go to jail because she has delivered supplies to front line protesters. She worries that hong kong is losing its identity. Translation i am pessimistic about my future. Now that the National Security law has been passed, china keeps on restricting our freedom and basic human rights. I am so sad when i think about it. The Hong Kong Government insists that this city will maintain its level of autonomy from mainland china. But many fear the former british colony is living on borrowed time. Danny vincent, bbc news, hong kong. The oscar winning film director spike lee has long there are plenty of regulations in place limiting the number of 19 restrictions are being lifted. But what can the netherlands is being transformed. Meet amy, robot thatis transformed. Meet amy, robot that is very serious about social distancing. She along with her colleagues is working asa with her colleagues is working as a waitress at this restau ra nt as a waitress at this restaurant in the dutch city. She arrives with your order and you have 20 seconds to take your drinks before she leaves full of all in all, an unusual experience for some patrons. I like that we can go to restaurants now but i think getting food from a robot seems a bit strange. I prefer humans. What the owners are trying to do is limit the interaction between human staff and the customers. Robot waiters means people can be kept further apart and limit infection. Translation our tea m infection. Translation our team is very happy with the robots. They each have their own secretary who helps with the work so they can come into work without contacting the guests. It is no longer necessary to wander between areas. So for now they only serve drinks although there are plans for them to diversify. They dont provide much in the way of conversation but they will not be upset if you fail to give them a tip. The oscar winning film director spike lee has long been an outspoken critic of Police Brutality and racism. The scenes in the United States in the past week, he points out, are nothing new and have been going on since the first enslaved people were brought to america four centuries ago. Spike lee has been speaking to Will Gompertz, ahead of the release of his latest film. Black gi. Is it fair to serve more than the white americans that sent you here . In the broad sense, it is the vietnam war through the viewpoint of black vietnam vets. I see. Ghosts. Happens to all of us, man you are more than a film maker. Youre an intellectual, an activist, and you are very eloquent on the situation of racism. How do you bring about change . We have to talk about how the United States of america was founded, the foundation. The foundation of this country is immoral. The land was stolen from the native people. Genocide was committed against the native people. And my ancestor was stolen from africa, and brought here to work. So the foundation of the United States of america is genocide, stealing the land and slavery and, so, any architect will tell you that if you dont have a strong foundation, the buildings going to be shaky. And its been shaky from day one. The whole music business has come out in solidarity for george floyd. This seems to have resonated beyond america. Yes, and i think thats a good point that youre bringing it up because United States of america, racism, they do it better than anybody else but its not just. Racism is all over the world. This is a Global Pandemic before corona. Weve been dying for this country from the very beginning. I shall resign the presidency. What did you think of President Trumps suggestion that hed put military on the streets if the protests didnt cease . Well, i was watching this last night with my family, and we were all screaming in disbelief. Why are people angry . People are angry because black people are being killed left and right, cops walk away free. They are angry for a reason. Spike lee speaking to Will Gompertz there. A reminder of our top story relatives of george floyd, the black man killed as he was detained by police in the us city of minneapolis, have accompanied an estimated 60,000 people on a memorial march through his hometown of houston, texas. George floyds brother, terrence, has again called for peace. I think we can show you these live pictures coming in from los angeles. Pictures have been coming in from the hollywood boulevard with hundreds of people filling the street there from curb to curb. Others gather outside the Police Department downtown and others outside the mayors house in la. Weve also seen shots of people lying on the ground with their hands behind their backs, for obvious reasons. There are unconfirmed reports of protests at all levels in all 50 states which may or may not be unprecedented and it is certainly very unusual. Outside the white house in washington there has been a big protest with one reporter saying that people were sparked there by events that occurred 2a hours earlier. Hello there, the temperature reached 27 celsius in hampshire on tuesday, but that was the last of the very warm days for probably quite sometime. The next few days at least will be feeling much cooler, thanks to a northerly wind. More cloud and some wet weather around as well. That rain certainly arrived in scotland during tuesday knocking temperatures back as well. The cloudier weather, together with the rain, is continuing to push its way southwards overnight. Many areas by the end of the night will have had some rain, the exceptions really being towards the southeast and east anglia where it is going to be a little chilly in the countryside and probably drying off later in the night for Northern Ireland and western scotland. Cloudier skies for wednesday in england and wales. Some outbreaks of rain as well, could be little heavy at times. Across Northern Ireland, largely dry, little bit of sunshine and missing most of the showers across western scotland, where temperatures may make 18 degrees in glasgow, much cooler with the showers in eastern scotland and across the rest of the uk temperatures quite a bit lower than they were yesterday. Continuing that cooler theme through the rest of the week, because pressure is lower across scandinavia where we once had High Pressure. Instead, High Pressure we are treating out into the atlantic. Its not close enough to the uk, and it means that we are drawing down a northerly wind which will feed in that cooler air and continue to feed in some showers. Perhaps a longer rain to clear away from the southeast of england early on thursday morning, and then a little bit of sunshine but on the whole, pretty cloudy skies and further showers which could be heavy at times as well. If anything in that northerly wind temperatures may be even lower on thursday, typically 111 15 degrees or so, quite a bit cooler than it should be at this time of year. So this weather is quite a change from what we have seen for a long time. Those cooler northerly winds pick up again on friday. We will blow down some heavy showers from the north. South wales may get up to 16 17 degrees, but for northern scotland, were struggling to make double figures. As we head into the weekend, we no longer have High Pressure close to the uk. Instead, we are dominated by low pressure, and its quite a deep one as well. It could bring some unusually windy weather to some northern and western parts of the uk, at least for a while on saturday, some risk of gales. Even without the strong winds, it will feel cool in the cloud with some showers, and longer spells of rain. The latest headlines for you from bbc news. Protesters across the us are turning out for an eighth night of protests, many defying curfews that are just getting under way in major cities. Reports of protests in all 50 states. Crowds are, again, gathering near the white house as criticism continues of President Trumps handling of the unrest. Appearfor appear for protests was tear gassed so appear for protests was tear gassed so President Trump would go to his photo opportunity. Hundreds have defied a ban by French Police to protest against the death in Police Custody of a black man four years ago. Clashes broke out in central paris as crowds called forjustice for adama traore. The officers who detained him have never been charged. Here in the uk, a report confirms that black, asian and minority ethnic people are more likely to die of coronavirus than their white counterparts. The Health Secretary matt hancock said it was still unclear why this was the case, but that the government would get to the bottom of it
