With its distinctive colours, translation i want to make a short police hope it will trigger statement about the current results. As yet unnamed suspect. I would like to ask for your understanding that, because of someones memory and lead to new evidence about their current investigations, we are as yet unnamed suspect. Unable to accept any questions, so i he used the vehicle to live in and, certainly, the week preceding, will not be able to give you answers he was in there living, so he would move around the area, to your questions. This isjust using that van as probably his base. Going to be a bit of a monologue, so the suspect also used this jaguar car at the time.

Braunschweig prosecution is her 17th birthday was last month. On the German Version investigating against a a3 year old of crimewatch last night, german on suspicion of murder. We police there revealed that the suspect has previous convictions for sexually assaulting girls and is thought to have burgled are assuming that the girl is dead. Hotels and holiday apartments. With the suspect, we are talking hes currently in prison in germany. His phone was used in praia da luz about an hour before Madeleine Mccann disappeared. About a multiple sexual predator who the metropolitan police are now has already been convicted for asking for anyone who can help crimes against little girls, and he with information about the mobile number he took the call on that is already serving a long sentence. Night, the vw camper van between 1995 and 2007 he has that he was using that summer regularly been living on the and the old jaguar xjr algarve, amongst others living in a 6 that he registered out of his name the day after Madeleine Mccann disappeared. In a statement, her parents, kate and gerry mccann, seen here in 2007, said house near praia da luz. We they would like to thank the police understood he did a couple of odd forces involved in britain,
germany and portugal. Jobs in the area. Other points are they said they would never give up that the suspect financed his life hope of finding madeleine alive. The German Police said that theirs is a murder investigation, but Madeleine Mccanns parents said, by committing crimes, including whatever the outcome is, they need to know what happened, thefts in hotel complexes and as they need to find peace. Apartments, but also drug dealing. Clarence mitchell is the spokesperson for the mccann family. The braunschweig prosecution is now he told the bbc that the family hasnt given up hope concerned because they suspect prior of finding madeleine alive. To going abroad, he last had his residence in braunschweig during the the family are very grateful, as they have been all the way investigation is being carried out through this, to the Police Forces involved, not least here, working together closely with the British Police but, now, the germans and, indeed, the Portuguese Police. The British Metropolitan Police and they simply want to establish what happened to their daughter, the British Metropolitan Police and the police in portugal. We are now to find out the truth, and to bring whoever was responsible for her disappearance to justice. They have not given up hope of finding madeleine alive, despite the length of time, asking the public, appealing to the public to help, and calls for theyve never given up that hope, but they are realistic, witness being set out. I can only and they say that whatever appeal to everyone as far as you the outcome of this appeal possibly can to react to this appeal and the police work,
they do need to know, because they need to find peace. And help us along with this. I am lets speak now to stefanie bolzen, uk correspondent for german asking for your understanding that newspaper die welt. Because of the ongoing investigations, no further thank you very much forjoining us information, no details can be given today. What do we know from germany on the concrete matter, and no more itself about how this suspect has emerged at this time. Well, this is can be said about current investigations of the situation. As very, very fresh news. So, last farasi investigations of the situation. As faras i am investigations of the situation. As far as i am concerned, this is all i night, in germany, there was a tv can tell you today and thank you for programme which i think you can your attention. I hope you get home safely. Thank you. Compare to crimewatch in britain, well, short statement there from the german Public Prosecutor, with an and in this programme, they talked update on the latest investigation again about the case of the disappearance of Madeleine Mccann into the disappearance of Madeleine Mccann. Our Home Affairs Correspondent and the prosecutors were quite Daniel Sandford is with me. Specific in giving out telephone not a huge amount of new information numbers, putting out photos of the there, but what did you make of what camper van numbers, putting out photos of the campervan and of numbers, putting out photos of the he had to say . First of all, its camper van and of the jaguar and appealing very specifically to quite striking how he started that, people to come forward and give information. Reading the local the braunschweig prosecutor, by
saying that we are assuming that the newspaper in the place where the girl is dead. The German Police did suspect had been living until he was also say that last night and said that this was a murder living in portugal, that is why the investigation, but this is the man who was essentially in charge of authorities there are in charge, trying to bring their suspected they have described very much in justice, and he is working on the assumption that Madeleine Mccann was detail a court trial against this dead. He then gave some of the man back in december 2019, where he details that we already know about this man. The man is being named in was sentenced for the rape of an American Woman and a lot of this has only come out because of people who germany as christian b, not his full have come forward and given information, so it seems like in the name, just the initial of his press c0 nfe re nce surname, and we believe that is an information, so it seems like in the press conference 0011, at information, so it seems like in the press conference soon, at 12 oclock british time, there might be more accurate description of the details coming out explaining what prosecution are talking about. He has happened to have this may be has a a3 year old man with multiple prime suspect now being named. There sex offence convictions, some of has always been a feeling, a them against children but also some against older people as well. Some suspicion, hasnt there, that, apart of those took place in portugal. And from whoever it was that took essentially what has happened, we madeleine, there must be a small have got to the stage in this investigation where they are pretty sure that they have identified number of people with information as somebody who was heavily involved in well and, clearly, the german the disappearance of madeleine authorities are hoping that mccann, but they need some extra someones memory will be jogged jigsaw, so again what you are seeing
authorities are hoping that someones memory will bejogged or, i think the phrase they used, is in the prosecutor there is asking people to come forward and give them that there allegiances will have changed over time and that is very those last pieces of the jigsaw to see if they can get to the point interesting, clearly they want to, where they can charge christian b with this new camper van, the car, with Madeleine Mccanns murder. The phone number, they want to build you said, it was quite chilling on what seem like pretty tangible hearing the german Public Prosecutor there saying that he was assuming leads. We dont know, this has been she was dead. Can you explain the case for so many years, there something to me. The German Police have been so many investigations are treating this as a murder going on, so i understand everybody investigation, and yet there seems has to be very cautious on to bea conclusions but reading reports from investigation, and yet there seems to be a different approach from the metropolitan police. Why is that . 2019 ina conclusions but reading reports from 2019 in a local newspaper, there are to be a different approach from the metropolitan police. Why is that7m is about traditions and different reports on somebody who came forward sensitivities. I dont think many who had been doing a burglary of a people involved in the disappearance house and came across video footage of Madeleine Mccann have much hope of rape and that was in connection about finding her alive. It is with this person and in this hearing possible she could have been kidnapped and held somewhere for at the court, he said, well, you do many, kidnapped and held somewhere for any kidnapped and held somewhere for many, many years, but i think the British Police, because they dont stupid things in your life but that have any proof that she is dead, was too much and therefore i have they are taking their approach that come forward. Now, this is not isa they are taking their approach that is a missing persons enquiry. The related to the case of madeleine
mccann, of course, but to another german prosecutors have a different case, but there is some indication approach, which is that the information that may have led them that there might be, and again, we to this man in the first place, and we are not quite sure what that is, have to be very cautious, there might bea but that seems to be information have to be very cautious, there might be a connection here. Thank that links him to her death rather than just that links him to her death rather thanjust her that links him to her death rather you very much, stefanie bolzen, the than just her disappearance. And thatis than just her disappearance. And that is the key, isnt it . Because uk correspondent for die welt and as over 13 years we have had so many you mention, that News Conference in germany, happening at noon uk time. False alarms, false leads, for different suspects, and it does make President Trumps former defence secretary james mattis has denounced the president you wonder why this person and why as divisive and expressed his this person now. I think in the support for the street protests shadows for quite some time there demanding racialjustice in america, has been the suggestion that the in the wake of the death of george floyd. Person involved was german. That has it comes after further charges been around for a long time, and were announced against the police thatis officers who were present been around for a long time, and that is to do with stuff that has at mr floyds arrest, shortly before he was pronounced dead. Been seen in internet chat rooms and david willis reports. Intelligence that was coming in, so the focus has been on germany for huge protests continue to grip quite a while. As this name came this country in response to George Floyds death. Into the frame, first in 2013 and thousands converged on downtown then again in 2017, what has become key about this man, christian b, is los angeles, and after violence that his mobile phone was in the right town on the evening that here over the weekend,
this time, their call Madeleine Mccann disappeared, and for change was peaceful. Night time cu rfews also that his car, which was remain in place here, registered in his name, is where it as well as in new york and washington dc. Is registered into somebody elses name the day after Madeleine Mccann in minneapolis, where all this disappeared. And those two things began, anger gave way to cheers obviously mean that he is of very, at the news that former Police OfficerDerek Chauvin is to face very Significant Interest to these a more serious murder charge. Let me hear yall investigations, and then when you say we got all four put that against his background of we got all four burgling hotels, burgling holiday apartments and of sexually and at the news that the three other assaulting women and young girls, officers involved in mr floyds then you can see why he is somebody death have now been arrested. They stand accused of aiding that the police want to talk to as and abetting his murder. Well as any further intelligence that they have against him that we President Trumps often bellicose have not been told about. Daniel response to the recent unrest here has unnerved even some sandford, thank you for that. As in his own party. Daniel said, the focus is in and now his former defence secretary james mattis is voicing concern. Germany,. Lets speak now to julian in a withering critique reichelt, editor in chief of german newspaper bild. In the atlantic magazine, we are very grateful for your time, mr mattis accuses the president of an abuse of power and writes. Thank you. What do we know from germany as to how this suspect has emerged at this time . Well, we have heard a lot already there on your
donald trump responded promptly. Programme about how he has emerged in this crime. It was about that telephone number that was locked in close to where maddy disappeared on that day, but there is another i see limitless potential that aspect to this. He is in prison in deserves to flourish and thrive. You should be able to learn and make the city of kiel right now here in mistakes and live a life ofjoy. Americas first black president struck a starkly different and more germany, and there is some optimistic tone to that information coming from the whole of President Trump in a virtual town hall event. Prison environment, some new as tragic as these past information emerged that pushed few weeks have been, as difficult and scary and uncertain investigators towards christian b, as theyve been, theyve also been because everything we have heard so far publicly has been around and an Incredible Opportunity basically known to police in germany for people to be awakened. And in britain for years, basically known to police in germany and in britain foryears, so basically known to police in germany and in britain for years, so what we right now, i think the nation are hearing from our sources is that needs law and order, there was an additional push towards because you have a bad group looking at christian b another time, of people out there and that is when the police put all
and they are using george floyd and they are using a lot of other the pieces together again, and now people to try and do some bad things and what we do. We have it totally under control. George floyds family and friends are due together in minneapolis opened as we just heard from the on thursday for a Memorial Service prosecutor in braunschweig, opened a murder investigation. And what is in his honour. Your newspaper and indeed other the calls for a radical reform german newspapers, what are you of Race Relations in this reporting about this man . Do you country are growing. Have any more information about him . David willis, bbc news, los angeles. Yes, we do. We just had a chance to and we will be talking more about look at his criminal record, his the political response to george file, through our sources, and it is floyds death soon. Shocking to see that file, it is the uk will host the global vaccine also shocking that from that file summit will get under way today, where more than 50 countries and from knowing that that person and donor organisations has lived in the area of question, that he wasnt on the radar before, will be urged to play their full part in whats being called the most essential shared endeavour of our lifetimes. The aim is to raise £6 billion because he has been convicted of to immunise hundreds of millions child abuse as early as 1994, as we of children against deadly diseases. The Video Conference is being hosted by borisjohnson, have read in his file. He was born who will call for a new era of Global Health co operation. The uk government will also in1976, he is hold a Video Conference have read in his file. He was born in 1976, he is a3 years old. That means that early in his life already with Aviation Industry officials,
to discuss its coronavirus there was a record of child abuse, quarantine plan. And it wasnt the only time, there south america continues to be the current epicentre of the outbreak. Are numerous other convictions, drug brazil suffered a Record Number of daily deaths with more than 1,300 people dying from the virus. Convictions, driving under the and research in the uk found that influence, driving without a driver license, it is a huge numerous page more than half the population struggled with sleep during the lockdown. 40 of people also reported long criminal record that we have seen, but what is most striking is having more vivid dreams. That there is a Clear History of joining me now from westminster child abuse, and that combined with is our assistant political editor, norman smith. The burglaries you have mentioned on your programme, it seems indeed a bit odd that this person wasnt on hello, to you, norman. Lets begin the radar in the past 13 years. With that global vaccine summit. Clearly, there are concerns in many countries that there is going to be Julian Reichelt from bild, we must a scramble, you know, once a vaccine leave it there. A really good of you tojoin us, leave it there. A really good of you to join us, thanks. Thank you very hopefully is found, a scramble to much. President trumps former appropriate that vaccine and that defence secretary james mattis has rebuked him over his threat to use not everybody might get access to it troops to quell the protests at the same time. So what is it that against Racial Injustice in america. The uk is going to do to try to his comments come after all bring about changes in that area . four officers involved in the death of george floyd think first of all, they want to the event which started the protests were formally charged. Coordinate a Global Response and
build some impetus and get some cash Derek Chauvin, the officer behind the search for a vaccine, but who was filmed kneeling you are right, there is concerned on mr floyds neck, has that if and when a vaccine is had his charge elevated from third to Second Degree murder. Finally developed, it will be the wealthier of the world that have access to the vaccine and, in poorer under minnestota state law, first degree murder is defined as when the defendant has the intention to kill parts of the world, they wont. But and usually requires some the concern of scientists is that element of premeditation. Only means the virus will continue, Second Degree murder, the charges being brought here, because unless you provide requires an intention to kill. Safeguards to all countries, it or in this case intention to commit a serious crime simply, sooner or later, re emerges. Which results in death. So it is an attempt, as it were, to focus minds in ensuring that there and third degree murder would not isa require proof that the defendant focus minds in ensuring that there is a global push to develop vaccine, wanted the victim to die, but also to make sure that, when it only that their actions is available, it is not confined to were dangerous and carried out the very wealthiest countries. Lots without regard to human life. Our north america correspondent of countries, of course, grappling david willis reports. As well with testing and the search for a vaccine with how they boost huge protests continue to grip this country in response to George Floyds death. The economy, when we hopefully emerge from this pandemic, sooner thousands converged on downtown rather than later. Particularly in los angeles, and after violence here over the weekend, relation to tourism, to air travel. This time their call
for change was peaceful. What is the uk saying about its quarantine plans, due to come in night time cu rfews remain in place here, from the beginning of next week, for as well as in new york people coming into the uk . The uk and washington dc. In minneapolis, where all this is, in many ways, unique, because began, anger gave way to cheers at the news that former police large parts of europe are now officer Derek Chauvin is to face beginning to ease their restrictions a more serious murder charge. On travel and tourism. Some tourism let me hear yall ministers are encouraging people to say we got all four we got all four come back and visit their holiday hotspots. In britain, the opposite appears to be happening because we and at the news that the three other are now imposing, from monday, a officers involved in mr floyds death have now been arrested. Mandatory 1a day quarantine for they stand accused of aiding people arriving in the uk and that and abetting his murder. Has sparked huge, huge opposition, President Trumps often bellicose response to the recent unrest here has unnerved even some including from conservative mps, who feel it will deliver a body blow to in his own party. And now his former defence secretary the Aviation Industry and, indeed, to the holiday and travel business james mattis is voicing concern. In britain. And what is striking is the revolt, if you like, is being in a withering critique led by some of the most senior and in the atlantic magazine, mr mattis accuses the president of an abuse of power and writes. Previously loyal conservative mps, including amongst them the former
Prime Minister theresa may, and their argument, bluntly, is Prime Minister theresa may, and theirargument, bluntly, is notjust theirargument, bluntly, is notjust the damage this measure will do but donald trump responded promptly. Also that it makes no sense, in that britain did not have a quarantine system at the peak of the pandemic, why on earth is it imposing one when the pandemic is beginning to tail off . This morning, we have heard from government ministers resolutely i see limitless potential that defending the policy, among them the deserves to flourish and thrive. Cabinet minister Brandon Lewis. You should be able to learn and make mistakes and live a life ofjoy. The spread of the virus within the communities here in the uk is much lower americas first black president than it was, it has gotten struck a starkly different and more to a lower level and we want to see optimistic tone to that of President Trump in that continue to be low a virtual town hall event. And that is why this is the right time to bring this in, because, as Patrick Vallance was outlining, as tragic as these past when you have a higher few weeks have been, as difficult and scary and uncertain Community Transmission rates, the difference somebody coming into the country can make as theyve been, theyve also been is much more marginal an Incredible Opportunity and much more negligible. As our rates are now much lower and moving lower and lower, hopefully, as we go forward, for people to be awakened. It has a much bigger impact, that is why we are bringing this in. Now, the government has promised to keep the policy under review and the right now, i think the nation next date for the review is in three needs law and order, weeks time, but, given the level of because you have a bad group
of people out there opposition from conservative mps, it seems to be quite possible that this and they are using george floyd and they are using a lot of other policy will have to be shelved well people to try and do some bad before then. Norman, thank you very things and what we do. We have it totally under control. Much. Norman smith in westminster. Lets recap the headlines on bbc George Floyds family and friends are due together in minneapolis news. On thursday for a Memorial Service a german sex offender has been identified as a new suspect in his honour. The calls for a radical reform in the disappearance of the british of Race Relations in this girl Madeline Mccann from a holiday country are growing. David willis, bbc news, los angeles. Resort in portugal 13 years ago. President trumps former defence secretary, james mattis, has launched a stinging attack on him, over his threat to use Meghan Markle has spoken out troops to end the protests following the protests over sweeping the United States. The duchess of sussex speaks the death of george floyd. Of her own experience of racism in a video message, speaking in the wake of the killing to the graduating class of her former high school, she said she felt compelled to address whats happening in america. Of george floyd in minneapolis. The only wrong thing to say lets return to the us, is to say nothing, because. And the continued outrage over. George floyds life mattered the death of African American and Breonna Taylors life mattered george floyd at the hands of police. And Philando Castiles life mattered as we heard earlier, President Trumps former and tamir rices life mattered. Defence secretary, james mattis, has denounced the president as divisive and expressed his
and so did so many other people support for the street protests whose names we know and whose demanding racialjustice in america, names we do not know. In the wake of mr floyds death. Stephon clark, his life mattered. So with the us elections later this year, how will this Current Situation play out in the polls . And i was thinking about this moment when i was a sophomore in high school. With me are ren brewster, a political commentator and President Trump supporter, i was 15 and, as you know, who was a Campaign Manager for ronald reagan. Sophomore year is the year also drjulie norman, that we do volunteer work, which is a prerequisite for graduating. Whos a political analyst at University College london and supports joe biden. And i remember my teacher at the time, one of my teachers, said to me before i was leaving thank you both very much for your before a day of volunteering, always remember to put others time today, we appreciate you coming along to talk to us about this. Ren, needs above your own fears. First of all, that attack from the headlines on bbc news. Former defence secretary james matos on the president but also his Current Defence secretary saying a german sex offender has been there is no need for the president to talk about evoking the identified as a prime suspect in the disappearance of the british insurrection act and bringing troops girl Madeleine Mccann from a Holiday Resort in portugal 13 years ago. Out to militarise this mattis. You think it is a bad idea, getting german investigating police say
the military involved in stepping it they assume madeleine is dead. President trumps former defence secretary, james mattis, up the military involved in stepping it up from the police . Actually, i has launched a stinging attack on him, over his threat to use think the military should get troops to end the protests involved at this point because right now, in new york and minnesota and a sweeping the United States. The duchess of sussex speaks of her own experience of racism lot of these blue democratic cities in the wake of the killing and states, we are having problem of george floyd in minneapolis. With the riots and the military is the only way you can stop this, because you have three elements. You do have the Peaceful Protesters. Iran has recorded its highest daily count of new Coronavirus Infections the great majority are peaceful. Since the outbreak began. 7996. The great majority are peaceful. 79 . That is right, but you have two official figures just released show that in the past 2a more elements, the antifa anarchist hours, there were more element and the looting element, than 3,500 new infections. The country has suffered looking for opportunities to go into the deadliest outbreak in the middle east, but has moved in phases to reopen as much a store and loot wants the chaos begins, so you have these three of the country as possible. Elements and so you do need the the number of new infections has been increasing in some military. Does the president not provinces for several days. Have faith in the police force to handle all of this . It isjust a matter of numbers. There is not enough police. What the military does, once you put them in place,
there are certain areas the police force do not have to watch or cover, so force do not have to watch or cover, so the military can cover certain areas and then the police can do lets go back to that news about theirjob. The new York City Police suspicion falling on a german man department, im sure you will agree, is probably the best Police Department in the United States, as over the disappearance of madeleine good as the Police Department in mccann. Clarence mitchell is the spokesperson london, im sure, but they do need for the mccann family. He told the bbc that the family hasnt given up hope of finding help and the military is that form madeleine alive. Of help they need in a situation like this. The best way to handle this is to have a 7pm curfew and quell the violence right away and then let the Peaceful Protesters protest during the day. Let me bring in doctorjulie norman. When the National Guard moved into the family are very grateful, as minneapolis, President Trump said it they have been all the way through isa minneapolis, President Trump said it this, to the Police Forces involved, is a beautiful thing to watch. We know that he is a president who to the British Police, now the germans and indeed the portuguese admires these displays of power, of police. They simply want to establish what happened to their law and order, how do you think this daughter, to find out the truth and to bring whoever was responsible for is going to have an impact in the her disappearance to justice. Polls, because, you know, it seems they have not given up hope of finding madeleine alive, despite the length of time, theyve never given up that hope,
almost distasteful in a way to be but they are realistic, and they say that whatever talking about the polls later this the outcome of this appeal and the police work, year but, nonetheless, this is very they do need to know, much what is going on in the because they need to find peace. Our berlin correspondent response to coronavirus and of jenny hilljoins us now. Jenny, we have heard from the german course the response to george Public Prosecutor within the last floyds death, this is very much half an hour, telling us a little going to be influencing what people bit more about what has led police to this man. What did you make of do in november. It certainly will what he had to say . Yes, i think in have an influence and, as you said, right now, we are really focusing on the events happening right now, this many ways he repeated what we have week, but, of course, these are already heard from the police who going to have a longer effect and made a Public Appeal on German Television last night. I think the response that we saw from trump perhaps the most stark thing that varied ina the prosecutor here had to say is the response that we saw from trump varied in a couple of ways. First of all, the National Guard deployment that the investigators in germany that we saw in some of the states in are convinced that Madeleine Mccann response to some of those early is dead. They suspect she was killed nights that did include high levels of violence, those were requests by the german man, a a3 year old who from governors to bring in National Guard members who are members of they say is currently serving a their reserves, so those are people prison sentence for another unrelated crime. They say he does who are trained and expected to support Police Forces in that way. Have previous convictions for the that is different to calling for an Sexual Assault of children, and he active military deployment, which is was living in portugal between 1995 what we heard trump say a couple of days ago. So it is that kind of and 2007. He has been named, he is
escalator or a language that a lot of democrats in particular but also believed, or not officially by the many republicans are can back it is prosecutor, i should say. He is a concerned about, that trump is using rhetoric but also policy to escalate man called christian b, his full the situation rather than diffused name is not circulating, and that it the situation rather than diffused hasnt been officially confirmed as it republicans are concerned about. So there is concern among yet. Last night German Police made democrats but also some republicans that do see this as potentially an appeal to find out more about this man and his movements at the hurting trump as standing with time in the algarve. He lived for moderates but will continue to some time in a house quite close to galvanise democrats around this praia da luz where Madeleine Mccann issue. Ren, when james mattis made went missing. German detectives are keen to find out more about two his comments, he said the situation vehicles he is known to have used, calls for mature leadership, not one a dark red jaguar, the other a inflammatory language and a yougov red and white yellow and white vw camper van. Survey in the states recently had red and white yellow and white vw campervan. A red and white yellow and white vw camper van. A Television Programme 5296 survey in the states recently had 52 of people polled thinking that last night, similar to the british the president is a racist, compared programme crimewatch, where investigators ask public for their help in solving old cases, they are with 37 who said he isnt. I mean, this is surely going to damage his now pinning their hopes on members of the public coming forward with standing in the polls come november, more information. They say they need do you think . Actually, president those final details before they can trump has a very strong base, the really end their investigation into
this case. But i must repeat that same base that put him in office in they are convinced here that they are looking at a murder. They say 2016, but as far as damaging him same base that put him in office in 2016, but as faras damaging him in Madeline Mccann is dead, killed, the polls, i dont think too many of they believe, by a german man. This isa they believe, by a german man. This is a murder investigation. Jenny, his republican and some democrat thank you for that. Jenny hill in backers in the election change votes berlin. The Northern Ireland executive because of this. The races, do something they seem to go back to is meeting today to discuss the easing of lockdown. After they have worked the russia if it confirms the changes, outdoor weddings with ten people concept, they have worked at the present will be allowed ukraine telephone call, they are from the 8th ofjune. Going back to racist now because lets speak to a couple who are they realise thatjoe biden is getting married this summer slipping in the polls and joe biden Peter Mcconnell and sarah mcafee just had his comment, when he talked in ballymena in county antrim. Toa just had his comment, when he talked to a radio announcer about if you im delighted to say they both join are black, you should be voting for me now. Congratulations to you both. Me, or some statement to that sarah, perhaps if i can start with effect, so he had a problem with you. How have your plans been that also. So, right now, that is affected by this virus . the theme they are going to try you. How have your plans been affected by this virus . I guess its and. By President Trump is not the uncertainty at the minute. And racist. Lets see what julie makes up the uncertainty at the minute. And up untila up racist. Lets see what julie makes up that. Of course, trump has his the uncertainty at the minute. And up until a while back, we didnt know how many people we would be
base of supporters that will support allowed, and just realising we had him no matter what but we are also to make a call ourselves, make a talking about people perhaps you didnt vote at the last election and decisionjust to reduce if you look specifically at the to make a call ourselves, make a Decision Just to reduce the numbers ourselves, and we are going to do a group of African American voters in the us, if they are going to get out really small wedding, and then hopefully celebrate with all of our in enough numbers to supportjoe guests at some point in the future. Biden, jude and joe biden can win and what you think ofjoe bidens so, yes, we are working round it, response to all of this so far . That its fine. Peter, can ijust clarify. Are you in separate houses . Is going to be the big question right now. As ren pointed out, joe we are, we are only ten minutes biden has been a bit uneven on some apart from each other, but separate houses. So when did you last see of his comments about race, each other in person . Since the including in recent weeks, but he came out with a very strong Northern Ireland executive brought in the distance we have been able to statement in philadelphia, where he had a very well formulated he had see each other at the weekend. So you are hoping that this wedding can very well formulated discussion points, finding his voice on this go ahead in august. How difficult issue in a way we hadnt heard has it been, though, deciding who to before, speaking very directly to a invite and perhaps more importantly lot of the concerns we are seeing who not to invite, if you are only expressed across the United States allowed a handful of guests, sarah . But again, it was framed around empathy, unity and calmness and tricky, but as i say, we plan to do
really trying to underscore those factors that made him an appealing candidate to many in the primaries a really small wedding with just and he hopes will make him an close family, so we are really appealing candidate to many during hoping that by the time august comes the general elections as well. The big question as to what extent he we will be allowed to have perhaps can translate that into real policy 20 guests, and then we plan to celebrate again in the future with proposals that will resonate enough with democrats and certain everybody that we wanted there. So demographics of democratic voters to get them out to the polls in we are excited. There are not many november. Julie anne ren, thank you people who get to have two wedding very much for your time. Days, so it is good. Peter, have there been any aunts and uncles or Meghan Markle has spoken out following the protests over distant cousins who have said they the death of george floyd. Are sorry that they wont be able to in a video message, speaking join you . I think the fact that we to the graduating class of her former high school, she said she felt compelled to have next year pencilled in already, they are all looking forward to address whats happening in america. That. But obviously they cant make the only wrong thing to say it this year. But at least we have is to say nothing, because. Next year to look forward to. it this year. But at least we have next year to look forward to. I do. George floyds life mattered assume there will be no stag night . Know, that was meant to be this and Breonna Taylors life mattered weekend, but that will have to be and Philando Castiles life mattered postponed as well. And sarah, i have to ask you about the dress. I and tamir rices life mattered. Suppose this could be an opportunity, you might be able to and so did so many other people
wear it twice . Most brides dont get whose names we know and whose names we do not know. That chance. That is going to be the stephon clark, his life mattered. Case, hopefully. It is funny, actually, my brother in law, we were and i was thinking about chatting about it one day, and i this moment when i was said, i dont know whether to get a sophomore in high school. Another dress or to wear the same i was 15 and, as you know, one twice, and he was like, if i sophomore year is the year could just have one input, he said that we do volunteer work, which is a prerequisite whenever we got married, this was for graduating. Him and my sister, he said at the end of the day, she took her dress and i remember my teacher at the time, one of my off and she was like, i cant teachers, said to me believe that is the only time i will before i was leaving before a day ever get to wear that, and he was of volunteering, always remember to put others needs like my advice is to just wear it twice. Peter, what about you . Have above your own fears. You got your outfit . Nope i was demonstrations have taken place around the world, in solidarity with the black lives matter protests in the us. Rich preston has been looking going to get fitted before lockdown, at the global picture and life has gone on hold. You dont over the last 2a hours. Seem and life has gone on hold. You dont seem too sorry about that. And very briefly, honeymoon plans . We were meant to go to kenya in september, but at the minute we havent heard
anything about that. We are kind of hoping that might go ahead, but. Thousands gathered in londons hyde park on wednesday we must leave it there. Thank you to show their support for the black lives matter movement, and calling both had good luck. You are watching forjustice for george floyd. Before marching bbc news. Towards westminster. And gathering outside the houses of parliament. It was an image mirrored across europe. The prince of wales has said he got here, in finland, where thousands away with it quite lightly chanted George Floyds last words. When he contracted coronavirus all chant i cant breathe at the beginning of the uks epidemic in march. Prince charles said he self isolated after testing positive for the virus. And sending their message to the us. And only experienced mild symptoms. The way that everyone showed up he also used the interview today, and especially with sky news to highlight his in an homogenous, white concerns over the environment. Our royal correspondent country such as finland, its sending a big message that many Nicholas Witchell has more. More people than just black people are tired. He has been campaigning protesters in denmark took to one on the environment for more than a0 knee as a symbol of support, condemning racism and calling years, and he believes as the world emerges from the coronavirus forjustice to be done. Pandemic, there will be as he puts in central germany, protesters it a golden opportunity in frankfurt decrying racism to build something better. Of all kinds. He calls it the great reset, and the fact that he too experience the virus has sharpened his resolve. Translation the difference is that, there, it was recorded but it it makes me more determined to push does not mean it does not happen here and it is not bad
and shove and shout and prod, here and it has to stop. It is vital to stand up against it, notjust here in germany but all over the world. If you see what mean. Translation the most we can do whatever i can do, behind the scenes sometimes, here is show solidarity with people but yes, i mean, over there and to go out i suppose it did partly. On the streets and show them i mean, i was lucky in my case that they are not alone. And got away with it quite likely. Crowds in the greek capital, athens, marched towards the us embassy people have gone through. The prince expressed his deep but the demonstration turned violent. Sympathy for what so many protesters threw stones at police, families had to endure. Who responded with tear gas. Explosion. In cape town, south africa, but as we recover from the pandemic, he hoped people would see where legalised discrimination that the planet and its damaged in the form of apartheid is, environment should be treated as the patient. For many, within living memory, messages of unity and solidarity. So no self respecting doctor i think its really important would ever have let the situation, if the planet is a patient, to show some kind of support reach this stage before making an intervention. And for all of us to stand hence, you know, the precautionary against something that principle, which seems to me we know is not right. Absolutely essential. What started out as a seemingly it was time, the prince said, innocuous call to police to put nature back at the centre of our collective concerns. In minneapolis over a week ago, Nicholas Witchell, bbc news. Resulted in the death of a man, sparking an outpouring of emotion now its time for a look and a civil uprising, at the weather with matt taylor. Notjust in the city where it happened but around the world. Hello. As well as staying cooler and cloudier, we are also going to add hong kongs Legislative Assembly has passed a bill stronger winds into the mix too.

Widespread gales across the northern half of the country to take us through friday night into saturday. This is a slight easing, a very slight easing of chinas very stringent restrictions on air travel coming into the country. I mean, its been pretty much nonexistent for months now. There are cargo flights between the city and certain other parts of europe and parts of the world, but no passengers coming or going. So that disintegrating relationship between the us and china in particular has extended to empty skies. No passengerflights into china since mid march. China is now saying that it is willing to change that, it is willing to let some qualifying airlines resumed flights to a city on the mainland of their choosing to resume flights. That came after donald trump, in an attempt to increase pressure on beijing, said he was going to ban all Chinese Airlines leaving this country and flying to the United States from the middle of this month. So what is clear, slight easing of the restrictions coming from the chinese Civil Aviation authority. They are also going to be hello, this is bbc news.

A new prime suspect in the search for british girl Madeleine Mccann, the only wrong thing to say who disappeared in portugal a convicted german sex offender is the focus of the is to say nothing, because. International investigation. Police believe he was travelling in the area. George floyds life mattered. In this camper van at the time madeleine vanished 13 years ago. A stinging attack the uks Prime Minister is to call on President Trump for a new era of global by his former defence secretary James Mattis Health co operation when he hosts over his threat to use troops to end the protests a vaccine summit in london. Sweeping the United States. The duchess of sussex speaks of her own experience of racism lets cross now to the scottish in the wake of the killing gvernments daily briefing, which is being led by the first of george floyd in minneapolis. The only wrong thing minister, nicola sturgeon. To say is to say nothing, because. George floyds in relation to covid 19, as at nine oclock this morning, there have life mattered. The uks Prime Minister is been 15,553 positive cases confirmed. That is an increase of a9 to call for a new era of Global Health co operation when he hosts a vaccine summit in london. Cents yesterday. A total of 1021
and Prince Charles talks about being affected by coronavirus, patients are currently in hospital saying he got away lightly. With either confirmed or suspected covid 19. That represents a total decrease of 96 since yesterday, including a decrease of 21 in the lets return now to the developments number of confirmed cases in in the investigation hospital. A total of 28 people last into the disappearance of the british girl Madeleine Mccann, who went missing 13 years ago. It was back in may 2007 night were in intensive care with when the three year old vanished confirmed or suspected covid 19, and during a family holiday thatis confirmed or suspected covid 19, and that is a decrease of six since yesterday. I am also able to confirm in the algarve. Today that since the 5th of march, a total of 3678 patients who had she was sleeping in an apartment while her parents, tested positive and required kate and gerry, ate with Friends Hospital treatment for the virus have now been able to leave in a nearby restaurant. The Portuguese Police launched hospital. In the last 2a hours, nine an investigation, deaths have been registered of but byjuly 2008 it was called to patients confirmed through a test as a halt with no official suspects. Having the virus, and that takes the David Cameron picked up the cause after he became uk Prime Minister, total number of deaths in scotland and by 2013 the British Met Police was ready to launch and that measurement to 2395. As i its own investigation. Operation grange as it was named often say, we cannot and we should was slow and painstaking work which has cost close to £12 million, not read too much into any one days but last year the uk government
agreed to extend funding. Figures, and tomorrows figure or last night saw the next days figure may be higher the Biggest Development yet, than the one i have given you, but i as detectives appealed for information about a german sex offender think it is still worth noting today currently injailfor an unrelated offence that yesterday was the first weekday who was in the area since the 27th of march when the when madeleine went missing. Clarence mitchell is the number of deaths registered under our daily measure was in single figures. I think that demonstrates spokesperson for the mccann family. The progress we are making against he told the bbc that the family hasnt given up hope this virus, but it also underlines of finding madeleine alive. Why we all continue to need to the family are very grateful, as they have been all the way comply with the Public Health through this, to the Police Forces involved, guidance so that we continue to make not least the British Police this progress and dont allow it to go into reverse. Of course, nine but now the germans and indeed deaths is still too many, and the Portuguese Police. They wont be doing any interviews, they would much rather the focus thinking of those nine lives are remains on the investigation and the appeal the police lost reinforces the point that i have just made overnight. But, as i say, they are grateful and they welcome this appeal. Make every day, that these figures they simply want to establish are not just make every day, that these figures what happened to their daughter, are notjust statistics. They to find out the truth, represent people. Unique and and to bring whoever was responsible irreplaceable individuals whose loss will have left families shattered for her disappearance to justice. They have not given up hope and weaving, so i send my condolences once again to everyone of finding madeleine alive, who has lost a loved one to this despite the length of time,
theyve never given up that hope, but they are realistic, virus. Grieving. Iwanted and they say that whatever who has lost a loved one to this the outcome of this appeal virus. Grieving. I wanted to thank the health and care workers, and the police work, they do need to know, asi thank the health and care workers, as i always do. They have done incredible work throughout, and notwithstanding the following numbers in hospital and in intensive because they need to find peace. Care, they continue to do incredible work in challenging circumstances. My work in challenging circumstances. My thanks go to each and everyone of you, and the entire country owes you a debt of gratitude. I am joined in more than 13 years, i cant recall an instance today by the chief medical officer where the police have been at the cabinet secretary for health. So specific about an individual. The cabinet secretary has some granted, yes, hes not been information to share about the named, but nevertheless they are looking for specific prioritisation of Cancer Services, details about his movements at the time of madeleines and the chief medical officer will disappearance, his vehicle usage, what he did with those vehicles focus on figures posted yesterday afterwards, and indeed relating to patients in intensive down to the level of mobile phone usage on the day care. Before they speak, i want to and night in question. Now, of all the thousands of leads acknowledge the job losses that were and potential suspects that have been mentioned in the past announced yesterday at rolls royce or discussed in the media, there has never been something in shannon. That announcement will as clear cut as that from notjust one but indeed have been devastating news for the now three Police Forces. Workforce at what already is very so it does appear to be significant, but the police, you know, devastating time, and unfortunately it may not be the last of its kind they may still have reason to rule this man out at some stage, in the period ahead. I want to but it certainly appears that he,
and the police said this themselves, stress the Scottish Government will do everything we can to secure as they are treating him good an outcome we can for those as their prime suspect for now. Whose jobs are at risk. Yesterdays the vehicle it is said that this man news emphasises a point i have made was apparently living in. Before, that alongside a public he had lived in the algarve for some time but had disappeared Health Emergency, we are also now from a known address about a year dealing with an economic emergency before madeleine went missing ona but was presumed to have dealing with an economic emergency on a scale that none of us have still been in the area, using this camper van experienced before. That requires to sleep in, apparently. And it will get the attention and the car he was also focus of the Scottish Government using and is said to have just as the Health Emergency has and continues to get. We have already re registered its ownership or its driver details allocated more than £2. 3 billion to in germany the very day after madeleine went missing, which is obviously a cause help businesses through measures for the police to be such as grants and Business Rates interested in that, relief, that is in addition to and the mobile number, welcome a uk government measures the portuguese numbers, such as the furlough scheme. It would appear, that he received mitigating and addressing the Economic Cost of covid 19 is of a call from another portuguese number lasting half an hour course going to become an even around an hour before madeleine went missing, and the police are hoping that those greater priority priority in the numbers, which are being months ahead, but alongside that, as circulated by the authorities, and the vehicle pictures, pa rt might just jog the memory months ahead, but alongside that, as part of our response, we also want of somebody who was in the area to help businesses as much as or would know more details possible to adapt and find new markets. More of the areas we have about this man. Been doing that already is in
the police have always insisted, relation to personal and protective as have the private investigators, equipment, ppe in scotland. We are that probablyjust one or two, publishing a report today that a handful of people, know more about what happened summarises how we are securing ppe to madeleine, for health and care workers in scotla nd for health and care workers in and the police are stressing that scotland and also sets out the work if any allegiances have changed, we are doing to develop a this man is now in prison, manufacturing chain for that people who may have been reluctant to come forward until now, equipment. To demonstrate the scale can feel safe in the knowledge of some of this work, it is may be that they can do so and the police worth looking at an item such as fluid resistant surgical masks. Are very keen to hear from them these are masks which help to prevent blood, bodily fluids and secretions from one person which clarence mitchell. Might include water droplets from lets get some of the coughs, from coming into contact days other coronavirus news. With the mouth or nose of the person austria is lifting border restrictions on neighbouring wearing the mask. Prior to covid 19, countries, with the exception of italy, from today. The foreign minister said the coronavirus figures from italy did not yet warrant National Services scotland would provide around 57,000 of those masks removing checks there. To our health and care workers every in turkey, the health week. But now instead of needing minister has announced that he would not recommend continuing the weekend stay at home 57,000 masks a week, we need four order, almost two months after it first came into force. He said restrictions could be reimposed if infection and a half million a week. That is rates begin to rise. And a half million a week. That is an 80 forward 80 fold increase. Nd in spain, the government has extended to meet that demand, we are the coronavirus state of emergency, which will continue untiljune 21st. Importing equipment from overseas, the restrictions have been renewed six times since the outbreak began but have been eased 100 million have been imported from significantly since then. China, and a further 60 million on order. We are also working with suppliers here in scotland to establish domestic supply chains. Millions of babies are missing out on life saving vaccines, ill establish domestic supply chains. Ru fight establish domestic supply chains.

New mums trying to do the best demand for these masks here in for their young babies scotland, but also provide them to in the midst of a pandemic.

There is this clinic in nigers capital, a similar story niamey, is usually packed, other countries in europe. There is a similarstory in other countries in europe. There is but restrictions on movement, a similar story in relation to other items of equipment.

Many many countries were advised by Health Officials to suspend other scottish businesses have vaccination campaigns to avoid divisive read in order to help with the spread of coronavirus, the provision of ppe, and i am grateful for each and every one of but now theres a stark warning about the longer term impact them. They have worked alongside Public Service bodies such as the nhs, Scottish Developers of this disruption. International and the National Manufacturing institute for scotland, and it is worth measles is on the rise, highlighting that in many cases, diphtheria, cholera, so all of these issues these companies are notjust simply are going to be a real problem. Making existing products, they are as a world, we had conquered in this past century many of these also using innovation to improve the equipment. For example by ensuring preventable diseases for children. That facemasks fit better on small so we made great gains faces and that more equipment can on childhood survival. What is now threatened safely be reused. Fundamentally, the is all of those gains in the last 30 years, Governments Authority which we are that we will wipe them away achieving is to always ensure we because children are not have adequate stocks of ppe. Our health and care workers, the people getting immunisations. Who help protect us, must themselves
be protected. That is imported at the pandemic is disrupting life saving vaccination campaigns on a global scale. The moment, but also for the future as we look to reopen the nhs and in south east asia, its estimated more than 3a million babies missed out on their routine vaccinations. Maintain secure stocks of equipment for social care as well. We will a lwa ys for social care as well. We will both nepal and cambodia always when necessary place major are reporting orders with overseas suppliers, but significant measles outbreaks. We are also increasingly taking advantage of the expertise of in africa, it is estimated manufacturers here, because doing 23 million babies missed out on their that gives us greater reassurance routine vaccinations. That gives us greater reassurance that supplies will be secure in the ethiopia, for example, is currently fighting measles, long term and also of course creates cholera, and yellow fever outbreaks. Real benefits for jobs long term and also of course creates real benefits forjobs and exports. Recent Research Suggests disruption these benefits dont come close of to these types of Crucial Services could result in the additional deaths course to balancing the wider of more than 6,000 children economic harm is caused by this pandemic, is of the scottish every day. Government will continue to work with businesses and the uk government to address these. But medical staff around the world are working tirelessly these benefits are welcome to try and ensure those devastating nonetheless, and they are a great testa m e nt to nonetheless, and they are a great numbers do not come to pass. Testament to the ongoing importance and excellence of our manufacturing here in bangladesh, sector here in scotland. I had over vaccination clinics are reopening under a new normal. The cabinet secretary and the chief medical officer in a moment. Before when you have a big effect ido medical officer in a moment. Before i do that, i want to reemphasise our on vaccines like this,
it takes some time to rebuild key Public Health guidance. I am some of the systems around them. Asking you today to focus notjust its going to be important on what you are now allowed to do as to make sure we can continue to deliver routine vaccinations, a result of the small changes we made last week, but to focus even but also as we rapidly move forward towards having Covid Vaccines available, more so on made last week, but to focus even these are the same systems more so on what we made last week, but to focus even more so on what we are made last week, but to focus even more so on what we are still asking were going to use to be you not to do. It is by not doing able to deliver those, as well to look for further outbreaks. Certain things right now that we will all help stop this virus despite the challenges, spreading. So that means not meeting the work continues. These medics are going door to door here in colombia, other households indoors, not coming as World Leaders meet virtually within two metres of people from for the global vaccine summit, hosted by the uk, to ensure these other households, not shaking their life saving campaigns can continue. Hands or hugging them for example. Tulip mazumdar, bbc news. Not sharing food or utensils with others. Or touching Hard Services that they may also have touched. Not leaving your face uncovered in enclosed spaces like shops and well, in the coming hours the Global Public transport. I am asking you to leaders will meet virtually think about all of that, all of for the annual global vaccine summit. Hosted by the uk this year, these things we are asking you not to do every time you leave home or the british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson will encourage nations meet with someone from another to donate billions to ensuring that life saving vaccines household. In particularly ahead of during the pandemic and beyond. Our weekend when unfortunately the and our Global Health correspondent Weather Forecast is more Tulip Mazumdarjoins me now. Traditionally scottish with heavy this conference was planned well rain, iwant traditionally scottish with heavy rain, i want to particularly before coronavirus was on our radar, emphasise this point. You cannot and but presumably it will be discussed. You must not meet people from another household indoors. That is a sure fire way of allowing this virus to spread again. If you are not willing to get your waterproofs on yes indeed, i mean, this is a and meet outdoors, do not meet up at replenishment conference that all. I cannot emphasise that actually takes place every five yea rs strongly enough. To recap, you actually takes place every five years to bring money to the vaccine should still be staying at home most of the time and you should still be alliance which approximates around half of the worlds children against meeting the fewer people than normal. If your life feels like it some of those deadly diseases we is getting back to normal at the heard about in my report, but this moment, you should ask yourself whether it should be and whether you was planned well before the are complying with all of the coronavirus pandemic hit, and now guidance. When you do meet people the big challenge that governments from another household, you must and Health Workers and Health Leaders have all around the world is stay outdoors and you must stay two metres apart from them. Dont meet vaccinating children against with more than one other household diseases that are preventable in the ata with more than one other household at a time. Dont meet with more than midst of a massive global pandemic. One day and keep to a maximum, i but clearly another issue that is stress at maximum, of eight people going to be discussed at the meeting in ourgroup. Wash todayis going to be discussed at the meeting today is when can we expect these stress at maximum, of eight people in our group. Wash your hands often, ta ke in our group. Wash your hands often, take hand sanitiser if you are out and about, where a face covering
crucial covid 19 vaccine, and when it does come online, if it does come online, there are hopes it could when you are in a shop or public happen towards the end of the year, transport, avoid touching Hard Services and clean any you do touch. Next year, how is it going to be if you have the symptoms of covid 19 distributed all around the world and you continue to cough, have a fairly to some of those communities you saw there in my report, the fever or have a loss or change in your sense of smell and taste, you poorest children on the planet . And must get tested and follow the what will be discussed today is how advice on self isolation. Above all that will happen in practice, so else, please remember that the decisions each of us take right now what is being discussed by gavi and as individuals will affect the by other countries is whether there should be the Mass Production of health and well being of all of us. Some of the front runners of so please, i am asking you to continue to do the right thing as covid 19 vaccines that are already you have been doing and to stick to in human trials, around ten of those all of these guidelines. It really at the moment, a couple in the uk matters. It matters as much now as it did at the start of this here, in the us, in china, whether pandemic. By doing that, we will those should actually be scaled up at the moment, or in the very near continue to slow the spread of the virus and we will save lives, so my future, or when they, fingers thanks once again to all of you for doing that. I now hand over to the crossed, are given the green light chief medical officer to say a few in terms of effectiveness, in terms words before handing to the health of safety, they can be sent out to secretary. Gregor. I want not just the countries of safety, they can be sent out to notjust the countries that can afford to buy them up very quickly, words before handing to the health secretary. Gregor. Iwant to words before handing to the health secretary. Gregor. I want to pay tribute today to a particular group of staff in our nhs, and that is our
but countries all around the world as soon as but countries all around the world as soon as possible. The first people that will probably get them, no matter where you are in the icu staff. Yesterday there was a world, will probably be Health Report that showed how many people had been admitted to icu between the workers, but that is all up for discussion. There have been discussions in the past, with swine flu, for example, when the richer mid march and may. That shows how countries were able to get their ha rd mid march and may. That shows how hard our nhs boards, managers, hands on the vaccine first, and facilities teams and icu staff have several countries have committed worked to make sure the facilities over the last few weeks and months we re worked to make sure the facilities were and remain available for that they will commit again at this everyone in scotland who might benefit from them. From the ist of gavi conference to making sure that march to the 16th of may, 516 people there is equitable access to everybody who needs this Covid Vaccine if and when it finally does we re march to the 16th of may, 516 people were admitted to icu units across the country with confirmed covid 19. Come. Tulip, will there be a this demand was at its greatest discussion about the discussion of between the 29th of march and the your report, the impact of covid 19 6th of april. We now know that what on other immunisation programmes . Would have been a normal baseline because in all of this, you know, we have been talking about the capacity for the most complex level pandemic, the deaths caused directly of icu care, which we call level by that, but the secondary effects three, was actually exceeded between of that. Well, absolutely, and this the 3ist of march and the 2ath of april. This reached a maximum on the 9th of april, where we were ag over
is, some would argue, perhaps more our usual baseline capacity for icu. Crucial. These are diseases, polio, however, thanks to the hard work and planning put in place by health measles, diphtheria, they are boards across the country, we had preve nta ble, measles, diphtheria, they are preventable, and children do not need to die of these diseases, but ple nty of boards across the country, we had plenty of additional capacity available to cope. Facilities and what is happening, as you had in my staff, managers and medical physics report, because of the pandemic, technicians in every part of supplies are being disrupted, air scotland repurposed words, created freight of vaccines getting into countries have not been able to get extra space and ensured that there in because of travel restrictions, was enough intensive care equipment pa rents in because of travel restrictions, parents have been worried about to treat every patient who came going to clinics for the fear of through a hospital door and might catching coronavirus, and some of the statistics you heard about how benefit from them. Hospital staff this could impact children is truly and doctors and nurses to domestic staff and porters, made sure that each one of these people were given devastating, particularly as itjust doesnt need to happen. Again, yes, the best treatment possible in a absolutely this will be discussed, safe and clean environment. Although and that is why borisjohnson, the the demand for icu services was far british Prime Minister, will say today that, actually, it is clear below above our usual capacity, it also exceeded the additional that Global Health, that the sort of capacity created. This 585 they had systems a re that Global Health, that the sort of systems are supported, because what we do know is that vaccines for tripled our baseline number of beds these diseases can save hundreds of and we are still able to support our millions of childrens lives all around the world. They have been doing that for many years. What they response to coronavirus. Health boards are still working to ensure
dont want is a backsliding, taking the number is over 700 beds, us dont want is a backsliding, taking us back several decades to where we we re us back several decades to where we were before because of coronavirus, quadrupling our usual icu capacity as part of a long contingency plan. So were before because of coronavirus, so absolutely that will be discussed notjust the as part of a long contingency plan. Not just the numbers as part of a long contingency plan. Notjust the numbers of as part of a long contingency plan. Not just the numbers of patients we today, and the hope is they will be have seen on icu that show our hard able to raise this money, around £6 billion, around 7. 11 billion, so work from the nhs staff. Is the care that they can vaccinate around 300 that was needed by these patients million children over the next five was up that was needed by these patients was up on average a person yea rs. That was needed by these patients was up on average a person with covid 19 has to stay in icu for over million children over the next five years. Tulip, thank you very much, nine days. That is longer than you Tulip Mazumdar, our Global Health would normally expect to see people correspondent there. Staying in and icu ward, and 60 had russias president putin has declared a state of emergency after 20,000 tonnes of diesel fuel leaked into a river within the Arctic Circle in siberia. An even longer save us the accident occured a week ago staying in and icu ward, and 60 had an even longer save us 80 of those patients in icu had to be put on a near the siberian city of norilsk and could be the worst environmental ventilator to assist their breathing, and 80 needed support disaster in the region. For their heart and blood pressure. Our moscow correspondent around 30 needed treatments like Sarah Rainsford says the scale of the dialysis to support the kidneys when accident is huge. They couldnt function properly. I 20,000 tonnes of fuel diesel that spilt out of this tanker at a power have said many times that we plant up near the city of norilsk continue to learn more about the effect of this virus, and this shows in the russian arctic. The virus affects far beyond its impact on peoples lungs and then it crossed some 12 kilometres breathing alone. We know that this
to reach a river, virus would put additional pressure the river ambarnaya, on our icu teams and hospital and has been flowing down that river capacity and our staff. But i am now for several days. Very proud of how my colleagues the clean up operation has finally begun, across the clinical and support and were told that the spill teams have risen to the challenge. Itself has been contained. The number of people in icy you care its been fenced off, but the big have been declining, which is question is what to do now . Promising. We must make sure that as now, environmentalists are warning we move on into recovery and beyond that this is an event that we do notjeopardise the of catastrophic implications for wildlife in the area, progress we are made. I ask you for the Water Systems too. Today once again that you stick to and at the moment, it seems that officials here in russia the guidance, reduce your chance of really dont know creating bridges for this virus to how to deal with this. It is in an extremely remote area spread and help us to ensure that in of the russian arctic, the tundra. There are no roads to the area. The future we never need to use this full icu capacity. Thank you. I hand the river itself is not over to the cabinet secretary. Last navigable by boat. So there are Big Questions sunday, i published our framework to about what theyre going to do guide the framework to mobilise with this fuel, which theyre now pumping out of the river systems. Re cover guide the framework to mobilise recover and redesign the nhs in and yesterday on state tv, scotland. Today i want to talk a bit there was quite an extraordinary about our work to do that for cancer Video Conference that president putin Held Services and in particular vital with his ministers cancer surgery. Cancer was and with the local officials in that area, in norilsk area. Services and in particular vital cancer surgery. Cancer was at
clinical priority for this and he was asking government before covid 19, and it what on earth had happened, has remain so. Whilst the majority and essentially berating local officials of Cancer Treatment has continued, that he said had taken two days some treatment plans have changed to inform the Emergencies Ministry and to inform the authorities due to the significant new risk about what had happened. So suggesting there had been posed by the virus, and that has some kind of attempt to cover this up been particularly the case in terms for a couple of days. In fact, he said that the authorities had found out of cancer surgery. Been particularly the case in terms about this from social media. Of cancer surgery. The decision to postpone or delay some cancer he was absolutely furious, treatments is one that i know none and one of the newspaper headlines of our doctors would have advised this morning described him without a lot of careful thought and as being white with rage. Compassion, and i am grateful to them for that. Now as we begin to well, this isnt president putins only problem at the moment. His Approval Rating slowly and safely restart our nhs, i has fallen to an all time low. Russia, like many countries, am pleased to announce we are is suffering acute Economic Hardship after weeks of coronavirus lockdown. Publishing today the framework for amid rising unemployment, there are signs of growing recovery of ca nce r publishing today the framework for recovery of cancer surgery. Disillusionment with the kremlin. Publishing today the framework for recovery of cancer surgery. It has two key aims that i want to see Steve Rosenberg reports. Made. Firstly that all patients are bells toll. Prioritised in the same way across often, its when darkness approaches scotland and secondly that within that you see most clearly that prioritisation, patients are offered the earliest available how the city is struggling. Appointment for their surgery. That
every night, appointment for their surgery. That appointment may be outside their this mobile soup kitchen feeds the hungry of st petersburg. Local board area, but that is in demand has doubled order to allow us to ensure that since the pandemic the economic consequence of covid. Prioritisation is the same across the country no matter where patients live and that they are given the this man tells me hes been on the coronavirus diet, surviving on water earliest possible opportunity. Prioritising and treating patients on the basis of clinical need and hoping thejobs come back. Requires regional working, sometimes i have to start shoplifting, national working, across our health says vladimir, a chef whos been laid off. Boards. I am writing today to our what else can i do . Board chief executives to set that out. To ensure the focus remains on milanas family relies the prioritisation of cancer on food parcels now. She and her husband services, i have set up to national have lost their jobs. The kremlin says its supporting families like milanas, cancer groups. The National CancerRecovery Group will be chaired by but not nearly enough, she thinks. Professor aileen keel. It will provide a Strategic National oversight of all Cancer Services through their immobilisation phase will stop it will meet tomorrow and continue to weekly. Important to them reporting to them is a
further group which will drive equity of access to Cancer Treatment across the country. I wanted to thank all of those who have been with unemployment rising, Vladimir Putins popularity has fallen to its lowest level involved in Cancer Services through in 20 years. This pandemic in our nhs and in the third sector for all of their work, you can sense a change in mood andl third sector for all of their work, and i know that i can thank them in despair is fuelling disillusionment advance for the work that i know they will continue to do. The final with those in power. Thing i want to say is to those Vladimir Putins big selling point to the russian people patients who are waiting for has always been, i am the man who brought you stability. Treatment for cancer. I want you to but take that stability away, be assured that you are a priority, and suddenly it becomes much harder our absolute focus is on making sure for president putin to convince russians that you are treated as a sin and as that he has the solution to their problems. Safely as possible. And what i have just outlined, however briefly, will yaroslav tells me help to make sure that that happens. About his problems. Many thanks. We will go now to a coronavirus nurse, he and his colleagues complained questions as usual. First questions online about a lack of ppe. From the bbc. Thank you. Can you soon after, he got the virus. Share with us at are numbered today yaroslav is a member of putins and with that in mind, looking
party, but not for much longer. Across the country, there are several areas which have had no new cases for at least a week, and in some cases much longer. Is it fair now for them to be under the same disappointment restrictions as the rest of the country, and is it something you are actively considering now that there milana knows all about that. Should be a different approach for different parts of the country . The estimate of the hour number that will be published today, we now publish this every thursday, it may coronavirus isnt only claiming lives another casualty have already been published, is 0. 7 of this pandemic is hope. Steve rosenberg, bbc 0. 9. Have already been published, is 0. 7 0. 9. That have already been published, is 0. 7 0. 9. That is compared to a 0. 7 news, st petersburg. One last week, so it remains relatively steady, which underlines our caution. And the care that we need to take, and the publication will be published today will give us some news to bring you from iran, it information about the estimated level of infectiousness across the country. So we are making progress, is reporting 357a new virus and the supplementary indicators infections, its highest daily total that i cover here every day
demonstrate, i think, that i cover here every day demonstrate, ithink, the that i cover here every day demonstrate, i think, the extent of that progress, so the decline in icu case is that gregor talked about yet, 357a new infections of covid 19. Irans government had been today. Icu cases are now 87 down on warning of a second, stronger wave the peak level, and we see them down in the middle easts biggest again today. A number of deaths, coronavirus outbreak after reporting while still too high as long as its highest daily number of cases in there are any debts, i will consider the past two months. People seem to that an unacceptable number, but think it is over, the Health Minister is quoted as saying, the that an unacceptable number, but thatis that an unacceptable number, but that is clearly reducing as are outbreak is not over yet, and at any hospital admissions, so we are going moment it may come back stronger than before. In the right direction. I cannot stress enough how fragile it still the long term impact remains, because we are seeing new of coronavirus can be severe, both physically and mentally, cases in our Health Boards everyday. With some patients struggling to adapt to a normal life. I would make two points about this in the last week, the uks first extensive part of question. Firstly Rehabilitation Centre dedicated to covid 19 patients has opened. Is that, and we have already said sima kotecha has been this, and if you cast your mind by queers to remind people every day, but we figured that people had got to the Seacole Centre in surrey. Message. but we figured that people had got message. Cast your mind back. Our my first time on sticks. The road to recovery for those numbers are estimates because they with coronavirus can be a long and arduous one. Are numbers coming through the david is 73 and spent Laboratory System through tests, so seven weeks unconscious. He first developed sepsis
and then caught the virus, which he still has. There will always be a degree of underestimation in that, and that is he also had a heart attack. Just an important caveat that we you feel as though youre in a bit have got to take account of. As we ofa dream, a bit ofa haze, start to publish data which we and you cant appreciate whats hopefully will start doing next week on test and protect, that will give actually going on around you. Us another source of data on the numbers that are displaying and he found it hard to walk or even move. Coming forward with symptoms. My slowly, hes relearning those basic mobility skills. Next point, and i have never ruled out a regional approaches in i get involved in community issues, scotla nd out a regional approaches in scotland if that proves necessary and i need to be able and certainly as we gather data and to stand up and talk. Monitor the impact of this virus in and i cant do that at the moment, the weeks and months to come, it is but i hope when i get out of here, really important we do that that with the help regionally as well as nationally. Of these lovely physios, they will actually be able but we also have to recognise that people travel between different to enable me to walk. Areas of scotland, and therefore we have to be mindful of people are but if i can walk with a stick, travelling between Different Countries and perhaps exporting or or better still without a stick, importing infections in that way, id be happy. Being away from his family and in the same way they can take it has been the worst part. I havent seen my wife or family to different parts of the country with them, so we must be conscious orfriends since march. About this but we will continue to
assess these things as carefully as thats the major impact. We can. My main message would be you miss being able to put your arms that when you hear these figures we around your loved one. Are reporting right now, absolutely ta ke are reporting right now, absolutely take encourage them encouragement a lack of contact and its impact on the mind from them. I want people to be is something theyre optimistic, but even in areas where very much aware of here. You might be seeing no new cases what were offering here reported on a daily basis right now, is some psychological therapy that will help patients to adjust do not allow that to become from their long stays in hospital and also being separated complacency. The virus has not gone from their loved ones. Away, it is still out there, and the we do have one patient who remembers some delirium he had. Hour number estimate i have given he remembers being in bed at night, you today tells us today how easy it and hes actually quite frightened about going to bed now, could be for the virus to run out of so he seems fine during the day, control again, and that is a risk we but as night time comes along, must not take. Do you want to add on his anxiety increases considerably. Anything today . Is certainly there they currently have four patients are encouraging signs, particularly with coronavirus and 15 without. In the numberof are encouraging signs, particularly in the number of infection cases we some are recovering from it, are seeing others need help with rehabilitation in the number of infection cases we are seeing across in the number of infection cases we are seeing across scotland, that has after suffering from falle n are seeing across scotland, that has fallen again. These are things we should continue to be optimistic other debilitating illnesses. About, but as the first minister has this hospital is a work in progress outlined, the margins are tiny. I its expanding daily. Said ona outlined, the margins are tiny. I said on a number of occasions that
at the moment, it has 130 beds it doesnt take much for those cases to begin to grow again. All we need with the capacity to expand to 300. To begin to grow again. All we need to do is re establish some of those bridges of transmission more easily so just tell me about for people, and before we know it we who we are going to see now. Started to see a growth in number of so peter has been in icu cases again. We are right to be cautiousjust now, for a really long time, cases again. We are right to be cautious just now, and cases again. We are right to be cautiousjust now, and i remain that and it actually started out we urge that caution for everybody with him having a fall, in terms of the way they are pursuing and making sure they are and he had an injury to his ribs social distancing, making sure they which affected his lung. Continue to wash their hands, making and at some point he developed sure they are complying with all the covid, and he was in itu rules that we have in phase one as for a very long time. Well, and that we do not give the so youll see hes very deconditioned, hes lost a lot of muscle mass, virus a chance to grow and spread in hes lost his strength, the way we saw beforehand. his endurance, balance, and all of the things virus a chance to grow and spread in the way we saw beforehand. I should have made other and other points that go with that. Hello, peter, how are you . Morning how are you . There. Todays our number estimate im fine, thank you. And yourself . Yes, very well, thank you. Is based on their modelling that youve lost so much weight will have taken account of the as well, havent you . From not having any exercise. Lockdown measures as they were last look. Week. It does not yet taken account peters arms and legs of the changes we made last week. That is what we are required to monitor over the next two or three are struggling to function. Weeks, so for me to say that we can start making changes before we have
look at the state of that monitored the impact and understand ive lost. Five kilos . The impact of the changes we have which is heartbreaking, really. Already made would be irresponsible i mean, you shouldnt be allowed and reckless, and that is an to lose that amount of weight. Important point about the to staff are helping him to gain strength through regular exercise. Understand. Thank you. Stv. wonder, we are now about a week into there we go. I didnt need to do much, did i . The test and protect scheme, and i wonder if you have any updates on Headley Court used to belong to the ministry of defence how many people have been contacted and provided rehabilitation and traced the system, and how many to service personnel. That facility has moved have come from a care home setting . To the east midlands. I covered this in parliament yesterday, and i said then we would this year, in just a matter publish the first data from test and protect i hope next week. I hope of weeks, the nhs, local council, that would be next wednesday. But we and militaryjoined forces to create the Seacole Centre on the site. Have to make sure that data is properly quality assured, robust and reliable, and that is the process we are going through right now, but i the scars of coronavirus on those wa nt to are going through right now, but i want to see that data published as who have had it are clear. Quickly as possible and then publish as the country tries to carry regularly so that we can assess the on after the peak of the outbreak, so do those who have experienced the devastating illness. Effectiveness of that system, but we nice and tall. It wont be long, and ill be home. Are not in a position to do that
right now, but we will in less than a week from now. Itv border. First i was told it would be about two weeks. Its just a case of start running. Minister, after the very sad debts oh, my gosh well done. Sima kotecha, bbc news, surrey. Of seven residents in a care home. We are going to leave that daily now its time for a look Coronavirus Briefing from the Scottish Government in edinburgh for at the weather with matt taylor. Now because it is time for us to hello. The second half of the week, catch up with the Weather Forecast, much different to how we started this week, some of the biggest and here is louise. Hello. We are temperature changes, at least in the last 48 hours, expecting quite a contrast to have been in north yorkshire. Welcoming our first weekend expecting quite a contrast to welcoming ourfirst weekend ofjune, particularly in comparison to last weekend. We closed may with blue sky, sunshine and warmth, territories in the high 205, and this weekend there will be a lot of 2a degrees on tuesday afternoon, just ten celsius on wednesday cloud, a cold northerly winds and afternoon, felt like a completely different change of seasons. Showers or longer spells of rain as and that cooler story continues well. You can see the signs of this through into the weekend. Some rain at times, cant be change already on the satellite
guaranteed for every garden picture. A lot of cloud across the and all will turn windier. Not too breezy out country, and triggering some of there, though, today. These showers. Some of them could be therell be plenty of cloud around, showers across scotland, Northern Ireland, Northern England heavy with lightning in this push a bit further southwards. But still many in the south will stay largely dry. The showers in Northern England afternoon. Temperatures are subdued and southeast scotland could be heavier through the afternoon, subdued, 9 18d at the very best. And it could start feel even colder across the north and north east those showers drift across the as those northerly winds pick up. Country, but where there are clearer not too bad in the sunnier moments in the south, 18 or 19 the high. But overnight, there will still be spots, scotland, Northern England, some showers around. Clearer skies, too. We could see temperatures in low single figures. Chilly start, but in the north of scotland, perhaps holding up around 7 10d. We where the winds are lighter start off tomorrow again with quite in southern scotland, a lot of cloud and a few scattered Northern England and the skies showers. Those showers will be very hit and miss across england and clear this will be coolest wales, but nevertheless, they are of all, going to be accompanied by temperatures just a few degrees above freezing, most strengthening wind. Gusts in excess well and truly still frost free. Then into friday, sunshine of 30 or a0 miles an hour here. And showers for england, wales and Northern Ireland. Showers will be replaced by longer some showers could become heavy spells of rain by the afternoon into and thundery at times. But as we start the day the north of scotland, and here the with showers in scotland, northern half of scotland, winds are expected to strengthen we replace those showers with some longer spells of heavier rain further. A5 50 mph, may be more as as we go into friday afternoon, northeast scotland could be we close out the day. It is going to some minorflooding too. And temperatures only feel pretty chilly under the cloud, nine or ten degrees. Maybe even a bit of snow the wind and the rain, 9 13d, on the hills. And it will be feeling much colder than that given highest value is likely of 17. That the strength of the wind, particularly northern half area of low pressure is going to the country we will see some widespread gales develop as we go through friday and slip down through the north sea, the into friday night. All linked to this area of low winds are staying strongest to the west of that low, and that is where pressure which is developing to the east of us over the next west of that low, and that is where we will see the strongest gusts of few days, pushing another bit further southwards. Wind, potentially topping out at 60 so its the north and the west where some of the strongest mph. That is quite unusual for of the winds will be, wind, potentially topping out at 60 biggest chance of travel disruption mph. That is quite unusualforjune, and could cause issues, particularly across the northern half of the uk, with cemeteries in full leaf at the as you see winds maybe top 60 miles an hour in places. Moment. That low, sitting in the but across the board, a windy day on saturday, bright compared to friday north sea, spiralling allowed that in northern scotland, cloudy for most, outbreaks of rain, although again, if youre after rain glow is a series of weather front in the south, no guarantee of that. But a cold day compared to the high 20s we saw last week, just 12 14 degrees, probably warmest western scotland with a bit of sunshine and shelter, bringing longer spells of rain for a as it will be on sunday. Time was up may be scotland and the Western Areas always brightest on sunday. South of england escaping that the winds ease down relative to saturday. Greatest chance of rain, central mike. 1115d. South of england escaping that mike. 11 15d. Sunday will be a and eastern parts of england. Better day, perhaps not as a showery thats how its looking, or windy, and as a result, not feeling quite as cold. Temperatures see you soon. Should peak with highs of 17 degrees. Take care.

They have also released two mobile phone numbers, both portuguese, one of which was used by the suspect. The other was used by the suspect. The other was
used to call him in praia da luz about an hour before madeleine disappeared. They have also released details of two vehicles, a jaguar carand a details of two vehicles, a jaguar car and a volkswagen camper van that we re car and a volkswagen camper van that were also used by the suspect, and two properties that he used at the time near praia da luz. They say that this line is highly significant. That was Alison Roberts in portugal. Lets talk now tojim gamble, former head of the Child Exploitation and online protection centre. He served as the senior Child Protection officer in the uks first investigation into Madeleine Mccanns disappearance. We are very grateful for you to talk to the bbc, mr gamble, thank you. There have been different suspects. There have been different suspects. There have been different suspects. There have been different leads, over the last 13 years. In your view, how significant is this one . This is the first time in 13 years when i actually dare to hope myself. I think for a variety of reasons there was a bungling beginning to
this investigation in portugal. I think the golden hour was lost, that is not necessarily a criticism of the Portuguese Police in isolation, but just a recognition the Portuguese Police in isolation, butjust a recognition that the Portuguese Police in isolation, but just a recognition that these cases are so rare but just a recognition that these cases are so rare that when they do happen, there are very few Law Enforcement entities with the experience to deal with them. So i was commissioned by the home secretary of the day, alanjohnson, to carry out a scoping review in 2009 to ascertain whether there were any areas that could be revisited and better investigated. And in that review, which was delivered in 2010 to the new home secretary, theresa may, there were a number of areas that were identified. The fact that cell site telephone dumps hadnt been investigated, the disparate bits of information that were being held all over the place rather than being consolidated in the way that uk policing would on a database, a computer designed to help identify
key lines of inquiry. And a range of other conditions. A year later, following a prompt by the mccanns direct to the Prime Minister, the metropolitan police, which had been my recommendation, because they are the most experienced and i think the finest detectives in the world when it comes to this, they were then commissioned to engage with the Portuguese Police, and i think we have been on a positive trajectory since then with a number of false dawns, but as you say, when you take the circumstantial evidence that has been shared with us now, and put it together, this is a really significant person of interest. Can you help me with something that is puzzling me. How is it that after this length of time, we are only finding out about this person now . How has he suddenly come to light . would suggest that he probably came to light a number of years ago, in fa ct to light a number of years ago, in fact that is what i would believe. But this is a painstaking investigation. When you begin from a point of chaos, it is like taking a
large jigsaw puzzle box, point of chaos, it is like taking a largejigsaw puzzle box, emptying it out on a coffee table that is too small, and bits fall off. And then you have to come back, without the plan, without the cover where you can see what the picture looks like, and start putting it all together. And so there is lots of information that will inform where we are today that will inform where we are today that we had at the very beginning, we just that we had at the very beginning, wejust didnt that we had at the very beginning, we just didnt understand the context of it and why it was important. So what you have now is you have an individual with a history of sexual offending that spans girls through to older women. Extremely dangerous. He is not a preferential offender, he is someone who we know from what we are told who we know from what we are told who will offend across a range of ages. Also with a history, we are told, of burglary, so fits the profile. Circumsta ntially, told, of burglary, so fits the profile. Circumstantially, you look at opportunity to commit the crime, and what we know from that is that he was in proximity to praia da luz, not only in the lead up to the crime, but also within an hour of
it, because his telephone, his cell site Analysis Shows that he was there and he was on the phone to someone there and he was on the phone to someone for 30 minutes. So that is really important circumstantial evidence. And the other thing, when you look at circumstantial evidence, you look at circumstantial evidence, you look at subsequent conduct. His subsequent conduct, the day after madeleine went missing, was to change the number plate on his car. Now that is, you know, that adds to the circumstantial evidence. When you start to bring all of those things together, a person who you know commits that particular type of crime, with an opportunity to engage, in the area where the crime took place and who, the day after, begins to do things that looks like they could be masking who he is and where he is. So when you take all of that and you look at the international investigation, i think it is great that the German Police who i have worked within the past, are involved. They will be relentless in their pursuit. And i
think the metropolitan police are rightly giving us a little bit of information, but not too much. They dont want to put words in our mouth. And this appeal couldnt come ata mouth. And this appeal couldnt come at a better time, because whilst eve ryo ne at a better time, because whilst everyone is trapped at home, they are going to be able to get their attention. And if you are watching this programme and you were in chipmunk three at that time, or another time close to it, think back now. Did you see that jaguar. If you were in praia da luz at that time, might you now have that context . Time, might you now have that co ntext . If time, might you now have that context . If you are one of those people who think you might have something, then contact operation grange. Sharing the information that you have is really, really important. Jim gamble, we must leave it there, but really good to talk to you, thank you so much forjoining us. You, thank you so much forjoining us. Thank you. President trumps former defence secretary james mattis has rebuked him over his threat to use
troops to quell the protests against Racial Injustice in amerioa. His comments come after all four officers involved in the death of george floyd the event which started the protests were formally charged. Derek chauvin, the officer who was filmed kneeling on mr floyds neck, has had his charge elevated from third to Second Degree murder. Under minnestota state law, first degree murder is defined as one in which the defendant has the intention to kill and usually requires some element of premeditation. Second degree murder, the charges being brought here, requires an intention to kill. Or in this case intention to commit a serious crime which results in death. And third degree murder would not require proof that the defendant wanted the victim to die, only that their actions were dangerous and carried out without regard to human life. Our north america correspondent david willis reports. Huge protests continue to grip this country in response
to George Floyds death. Thousands converged on downtown los angeles, and after violence here over the weekend, this time their call for change was peaceful. Night time cu rfews remain in place here, as well as in new york and washington dc. In minneapolis, where all this began, anger gave way to cheers at the news that former Police OfficerDerek Chauvin is to face a more serious murder charge. Let me hear yall say we got all four we got all four and at the news that the three other officers involved in mr floyds death have now been arrested. They stand accused of aiding and abetting his murder. President trumps often bellicose response to the recent unrest here has unnerved even some in his own party. And now his former defence secretary james mattis is voicing concern. In a withering critique in the atlantic magazine,
mr mattis accuses the president of an abuse of power and writes. Donald trump responded promptly. I see limitless potential that deserves to flourish and thrive. You should be able to learn and make mistakes and live a life ofjoy. Americas first black president struck a starkly different and more optimistic tone to that of President Trump in a virtual town hall event. As tragic as these past few weeks have been, as difficult and scary and uncertain as theyve been, theyve also been an Incredible Opportunity for people to be awakened. Right now, i think the nation needs law and order, because you have a bad group of people out there and they are using george floyd and they are using a lot of other people to try and do some bad things and what we do. We have it totally under control. George floyds family and friends are due together in minneapolis on thursday for a Memorial Service in his honour. The calls for a radical reform of Race Relations in this country are growing. David willis, bbc news, los angeles. Meghan markle has spoken out following the protests over the death of george floyd. In a video message, speaking to the graduating class of her former high school, she said she felt compelled to address whats happening in america. The only wrong thing to say is to say nothing, because. George floyds life mattered and Breonna Taylors life mattered and Philando Castiles life mattered and tamir rices life mattered. And so did so many other people whose names we know and whose names we do not know. Stephon clark, his life mattered. And i was thinking about this moment when i was a sophomore in high school. I was 15 and, as you know, sophomore year is the year that we do volunteer work, which is a prerequisite for graduating. And i remember my teacher at the time, one of my teachers, said to me before i was leaving before a day of volunteering, always remember to put others needs above your own fears. The headlines on bbc news. A german sex offender has been identified as a prime suspect in the disappearance of the british
girl Madeleine Mccann from a Holiday Resort in portugal 13 years ago. President trumps former defence secretary, james mattis, has launched a stinging attack on him over his threat to use troops to end the protests sweeping the United States. The duchess of sussex speaks of her own experience of racism in the wake of the killing of george floyd in minneapolis. The uk will host the global vaccine summit which will get under way today, where more than fifty countries and donor organisations to play their full part in whats being called the most essential shared endeavour of our lifetimes. The aim is to raise £6 billion to immunise hundreds of millions of children against deadly diseases. The Video Conference is being hosted by borisjohnson,
who will call for a new era of Global Health co operation. The uk government will also hold a videoconference with Aviation Industry officials, to discuss its coronavirus quarantine plan. South america continues to be the current epicentre of the outbreak. Brazil suffered a Record Number of daily deaths with more than 1,300 people dying from the virus. And research in the uk found that more than half the population struggled with sleep during the lockdown. 40 of people also reported having more vivid dreams. Joining me now from westminster is our assistant political editor, norman smith. If we could start with this global vaccine summit chaired by the Prime Minister. Tell us a little more about what the uk government is hoping to achieve. I think there is an acceptance that so much of the worlds attention and scientific effort is now focused on
coronavirus, vaccines for other diseases such as diphtheria, polio, measles, have taken something of a back seat, and people have been, particularly in the developing world, perhaps more reluctant to get vaccinated for those diseases because of an understandable fear about going into hospitals and health centres, and at the same time, hospitals have beenjust so overwhelmed by coronavirus, theyve had less resources to put aside to ensure people are still getting vaccinated. As a result, there is a risk of these diseases beginning to gaina risk of these diseases beginning to gain a foothold again, and lives being put at risk because so much attention has been focused on coronavirus. So it is an attempt, as it were, to the International Community in terms of medical effort, in terms of money, in terms of political attention, on the much broader agenda in terms of ensuring vaccination against some of these long standing diseases, and not to
be totally as it were overwhelmed by the threat from coronavirus. The spread of the virus within the communities here in the uk is much lower than it was, it has gotten to a lower level and we want to see that continue to be low and that is why this is the right time to bring this in, because, as Patrick Vallance was outlining, when you have higher Community Transmission rates, the difference somebody coming into the country can make is much more marginal and much more negligible. As our rates are much more lower and moving lower and lower, hopefully, as we go forward, it has a much bigger impact, that is why we are bringing this in. Cabinet Office MinisterBrandon Lewis responding to one other side of this this morning, which is moved here in the uk to introduce quarantine controls for people coming into the uk, or uk citizens coming into the uk, or uk citizens coming back into britain, forcing people to self isolate for 1h days, which has prompted huge controversy in britain amid fears it will cripple the Aviation Industry and the tourism sector, and a major
revolt amongst tory mps who are questioning why this policy is being introduced now when it wasnt introduced now when it wasnt introduced when the pandemic was at its height, which has prompted the government to concede that they will review that policy in three weeks time. But there is massive pressure from senior tories, including the former Prime Minister, theresa may, former Prime Minister, theresa may, for a much swifter rethink. Norman, good to talk to you, many thanks. As norman was saying there, millions of babies are missing out on life saving vaccines is the coronavirus pandemic disrupts immunisation campaigns around the world. The United Nations childrens Agency Unicef has warned that it could lead to thousands of children dying every day from diseases that had largely been brought under control. Our global heath correspondent Tulip Mazumdar reports. New mums trying to do the best for their young babies in the midst of a pandemic. This clinic in nigers capital, niamey, is usually packed,
but restrictions on movement, a shortage of healthcare workers, and the fear of catching covid 19 have kept many families away. This Health Worker says far fewer women have been coming to get their babies vaccinated since the pandemic, and children are now at greater risk of other killer diseases like measles. Many countries were advised by Health Officials to suspend vaccination campaigns to avoid the spread of coronavirus, but now theres a stark warning about the longer term impact of this disruption. Measles is on the rise, diphtheria, cholera, so all of these issues are going to be a real problem. As a world, we had conquered in this past century many of these preventable diseases for children. So we made great gains on childhood survival. What is now threatened is all of those gains in the last 30 years, that we will wipe them away because children are not getting immunisations. The pandemic is disrupting life saving vaccination campaigns on a global scale. In south east asia, its estimated more than 3a million babies missed out on their routine vaccinations. Both nepal and cambodia are reporting significant measles outbreaks. In africa, it is estimated 23 million babies missed out on their routine vaccinations. Ethiopia, for example, is currently fighting measles, cholera, and yellow fever outbreaks. Recent Research Suggests disruption to these types of Crucial Services could result in the additional deaths of more than 6,000 children every day. Medical staff around the world are working tirelessly to try and ensure those devastating numbers
do not come to pass. Here in bangladesh, vaccination clinics are reopening under a new normal. When you have a big effect on vaccines like this, it takes some time to rebuild some of the systems around them. Its going to be important to make sure we can continue to deliver routine vaccinations, but also as we rapidly move towards having Covid Vaccines available, these are the same systems were going to use to be able to deliver those, as well to look for further outbreaks. Despite the challenges, the work continues. These medics are going door to door here in colombia, as World Leaders meet virtually for the global vaccine summit, hosted by the uk, to ensure these life saving campaigns can continue. Tulip mazumdar, bbc news. We can speak now to dr muhammad munir, a virologist at Lancaster University. We are grateful for your time, we are gratefulfor your time, and i wa nt to we are gratefulfor your time, and i want to come onto the work you are doing at the moment. Butjust to begin speaking a little more broadly about this vaccine summit that the uk is hosting today. How important is that, and how confident are you that it could make a difference . Thank you very much for having me on the show. I think it is really important to understand that while we are waiting for covid 19 vaccine, we are waiting for covid 19 vaccine, we should not forget the importance of the vaccines that we already have, and that is absolutely important that those vaccines are deployed in the field to immunise the children of the future. And this has become even more important because of the covid 19 disruption onto the current vaccine campaigns, and according to a current estimation, 80 million children could be without up to date vaccinations. This summer that is being held here in the uk this summit that is being held here in
the uk is a critical step towards ensuring that these vaccines are ongoing, and if not, the infrastructure should be put in place so that there is no interruption until 2025. Place so that there is no interruption until2025. You place so that there is no interruption until 2025. You talk about the covid 19 vaccine. I know you are leading a team at Lancaster University developing a vaccine. How close are we to having a vaccine . At the moment i would like to emphasise that the speed we are developing the vaccine for covid 19 is unprecedented, never been seen before. At this moment, there are five or six vaccine trials running into phase two and phase three. We are into phase two and phase three. We a re close into phase two and phase three. We are close to the place where we will be able to demonstrate that these are safe and efficacious and could be deployed in the field very quickly. But again, there are a few challenges that really need to be considered before we can proceed, for instance the vaccines that are being used here in the uk, one of
the major challenges is that the phase three trial requires a density of the disease in the population which is really going down, which means that the target to require demonstration that the vaccine is safe will take longer, so there are factors that challenging at the moment which need to be considered. But certainly the speed is incredible. So are you basically saying that we have got a handful of vaccines that are already in clinical trials, and then several dozen that are like yours, which are in what are described as preclinical trials . And it is really a sense now of trying to work out which one might work . Is that broadly speaking the case . Absolutely. The important thing here is to emphasise that many vaccines that are developed fail a
clinical trial, so we should not count on one or two vaccines. The number of vaccines that are currently in the World Health Organization exceed 100 in number. The majority of them use different approaches. Understood. If and when approaches. Understood. If and when a vaccine is finally developed, there is concern as to who will have access to it. Concern that wealthier parts of the world will have access to it and not poorer parts. Do you share that concern . Yes, absolutely. I think this is a critical time to really collate the Global Concerns and establish bold International Laws of how the vaccine would be distributed in the world once it becomes available. And this is certainly important for certain perspectives, especially when it comes to who will need it most in the beginning or at the end. The summit today, they will allocate some proportion of the funds
especially for low and middle income areas so especially for low and middle income areas so that once the vaccine becomes available, it can be manufactured at a cost that is affordable in those countries and can be deployed. Because ultimately what we wanted to see is that unless eve ryo ne what we wanted to see is that unless everyone is safe, no one is safe. 0k, dr everyone is safe, no one is safe. Ok, dr muhammad munir, we must leave it there, but do keep us posted as to how your tests go with your vaccine, and we will talk to you again on bbc news. Many thanks. The prince of wales has said he got away with it quite lightly when he contracted coronavirus at the beginning of the uks epidemic in march. Prince charles said he self isolated after testing positive for the virus and only experienced mild symptoms. He also used the interview with sky news to highlight his concerns over the environment. Our royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell has more. He has been campaigning on the environment for more than a0 years,
and he believes as the world emerges from the coronavirus pandemic, there will be as he puts it a golden opportunity to build something better. He calls it the great reset, and the fact that he too experience the virus has sharpened his resolve. It makes me more determined to push and shove and shout and prod, if you see what i whatever i can do, behind the scenes sometimes, but yes, i mean, isuppose it did partly. I mean, i was lucky in my case and got away with it quite likely. But ive had it, and i can so i understand what other people have gone through. The prince expressed his deep sympathy for what so many families had to endure. But as we recover from the pandemic, he hoped people would see that the planet and its damaged environment should be treated as the patient. So no self respecting doctor would ever have let the situation, if the planet is a patient,
reach this stage before making an intervention. Hence, you know, the precautionary principle, which seems to me absolutely essential. It was time, the prince said, to put nature back at the centre of our collective concerns. Nicholas witchell, bbc news. Hello, this is bbc news. The headlines. A Major New Development in the case of the british girl Madeleine Mccann who disappeared in portugal. A convicted german sex offender is the prime suspect in the international investigation. Police believe he was travelling in the area in this camper van at the time madeleine vanished, 13 years ago. President trumps former defence secretary, james mattis, launches a stinging attack over his threat to use troops to end the protests sweeping the United States. The duchess of sussex speaks of her own experience of racism in the wake of the killing of george floyd in minneapolis. The only wrong thing to say is to say nothing, because. George floyds life mattered. The uks Prime Minister is to call for a new era of Global Health co operation when he hosts a vaccine summit in london. And Prince Charles talks about being affected by coronavirus, saying he got away lightly. Lets return now the developments in the investigation into the disappearance of the british girl Madeleine Mccann who went missing 13 years ago. It was back in may 2007 when the three year old vanished during a family holiday in the algarve. She was sleeping in the apartment while her parents kate and gerry ate with friends
in a nearby restaurant. The Portuguese Police launched an investigation but byjuly 2008, it was called to a halt with no official suspects. David cameron picked up the cause after he became uk Prime Minister, and by 2013, the British Met Police was ready to launch its own investigation. Operation grange as it was named was slow and painstaking work, which has cost close to £12 million, but last year the uk government agreed to extend funding. Last night saw the Biggest Development yet, as detectives appealed for information about a german sex offender, currently in jail for an unrelated offence, who was in the area when madeleine went missing. Clarence mitchell is the spokesperson for the mccann family. He told the bbc that the family hasnt given up hope of finding madeleine alive. The family are very grateful,
as they have been all the way through this, to the Police Forces involved, not least the British Police but now the germans and indeed the Portuguese Police. They wont be doing any interviews, they would much rather the focus remains on the investigation and the appeal the police have just made overnight. But, as i say, they are grateful and they welcome this appeal. They simply want to establish what happened to their daughter, to find out the truth, and to bring whoever was responsible for her disappearance to justice. They have not given up hope of finding madeleine alive, despite the length of time, theyve never given up that hope, but they are realistic, and they say that whatever the outcome of this appeal and the police work, they do need to know, because they need to find peace. In more than 13 years, i cant recall an instance where the police have been so specific about an individual. Granted, yes, hes not been named, but nevertheless they are looking for specific details
about his movements at the time of madeleines disappearance, his vehicle usage, what he did with those vehicles afterwards, and indeed down to the level of mobile phone usage on the day and night in question. Now, of all the thousands of leads and potential suspects that have been mentioned in the past or discussed in the media, there has never been something as clear cut as that from notjust one but indeed now three Police Forces. So it does appear to be significant, but the police, you know, they may still have reason to rule this man out at some stage, but it certainly appears that he, and the police said this themselves, they are treating him as their prime suspect for now. This is the scene in germany which is where, in the next 25 minutes or so, around midday uk time, we are
expecting an update from the German Police. The police of course have identified a german prisoner as the new suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine Mccann. We know they have already said he is in his a05. He is already said he is in his a05. He is a convicted sex offender for an unrelated case, but he had been living in the algarve at the time, travelling around in a camper van at the time that Madeleine Mccann disappeared. So this is seen in germany, which we will return to for an update on that police investigation. Demonstrations have taken place around the world, in solidarity with the black lives matter prote5t5 in the us. Rich pre5ton has been looking at the global picture over the last 2a hours. Thousands gathered in londons hyde park on wednesday to show their support for the black lives matter movement, and calling forjustice for george floyd. Before marching towards westminster. And gathering outside the houses of parliament. It was an image mirrored across europe. Here, in finland, where thousands chanted George Floyds last words. All chant i cant breathe . And sending their message to the us. The way that everyone showed up today, and especially in an homogenous, white country such a5 finland, its sending a big message that many more people than just black people are tired. Protester5 in denmark took to one knee a5 a symbol of support, condemning racism and calling forjustice to be done. In central germany, protester5 in frankfurt decrying racism of all kinds. Translation the difference is that, there, it was recorded but it does not mean it does not happen here and it is not bad here and it has to stop. It is vital to stand up against it, notjust here in germany but all over the world. Translation the most we can do here is show solidarity with people over there and to go out on the streets and show them that they are not alone. Crowds in the greek capital, athens, marched towards the us embassy but the demonstration turned violent. Protester5 threw 5tone5 at police, who responded with tear gas. Explosion. In cape town, south africa, where legalised discrimination in the form of apartheid i5, for many, within living memory, messages of unity and solidarity. I think its really important to show some kind of support and for all of us to stand against something that we know is not right. What started out as a seemingly innocuou5 call to police in minneapolis over a week ago resulted in the death of a man, sparking an outpouring of emotion and a civil upri5ing,
notjust in the city where it happened but around the world. Hong kongs Legislative Assembly has passed a bill which would make it illegal to show disrespect to the Chinese National anthem. The bill was passed with a1 in favour and one against. Critic5 see this as the latest sign of beijings tightening grip on the city. The ruling comes as people in hong kong are set to hold a candlelit vigil to commemorate the 31st anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown, when chinese troops killed pro democracy demonstators in beijing. Our correspondent, martin yip, is in Victoria Park in hong kong, the place where the annual vigil is usually held. Martin, how is the anniversary of the crackdown going to be marked
there . Quite a difference scenario this year indeed. Like you said, this year indeed. Like you said, this would have been the place for the candlelit vigil. That would have been the station over there, this side of the camera, but as you can 5ee, side of the camera, but as you can see, it is sealed off because the government, the police have been quoting andy coronavirus rules on social distancing to ban this years candlelit vigil, the First Time Since the First Anniversary in 1990. Ifi since the First Anniversary in 1990. If i can try and show you the scenario out there, there are some people gathering around. Some are actually holding candles. They are waiting because the organisers, they have promised to hold a virtual vigil in around 90 minutes time, and these people are here. Some are 5itting, some are holding a candle, so 5itting, some are holding a candle, so it is quite clear theyjust want
to maintain the tradition of lighting a candle at this very park, Victoria Park in hong kong, despite the government ban. We do not know if the police will intervene at all, because if anyone gather5 in a group larger than eight people, they would be breaching the5e larger than eight people, they would be breaching these social distancing rules that they could be subject to a fine rules that they could be subject to afine on rules that they could be subject to a fine on the spot. Multiple report5 from local media saying the police would not intervene in this event, but these are from local media, and thatis but these are from local media, and that is the only the only official police line at the moment i5 official police line at the moment is to stay home and stay away from the virus. This comes after a hong kongs Legislative Assembly passed this bill which would make it illegal to show disrespect to the Chinese National anthem. What does that mean exactly . What are the indications of that . This view is somehow pre5cribed indications of that . This view is somehow prescribed by beijing a5
well, this is legislation by the Chinese Government back in 2017, which would outlaw anything which would be seen as a disrespecting or even doing at the National Anthem when played at a sports event, such as at football event5. When played at a sports event, such as at football events. This was something that had happened before it was made two years ago, but beijing put it into law, so it was put into the constitution and they in hong kong have no choice but to put it into legislation. How will the Police Actually enforce this law . What could be seen as defaming the National Anthem, and i5 law . What could be seen as defaming the National Anthem, and is subject to criminal prosecution . People 5ee this as one of the many crackdowns from beijing on theirfreedom of speech, and this is why some people have been protesting about it. Legislators have been trying to stop
this from going through. They have done this by unleashing 5tink bombs in the parliament, but then they moved into another conference room. They resumed their meeting, voted it through and called it a day. Thank you very much. Russias president putin has declared a state of emergency after 20,000 tonnes of diesel fuel leaked into a river within the Arctic Circle in siberia. The accident occured a week ago near the siberian city of norilsk and could be the worst environmental disaster in the region. Our moscow correspondent, Sarah Rainsford, says the scale of the accident is huge. 20,000 tonnes of fuel diesel that spilt out of this tanker at a power plant up near the city of norilsk in the russian arctic. Then it crossed some 12 kilometres to reach a river, the river ambarnaya,
and has been flowing down that river now for several days. The clean up operation has finally begun, and were told that the spill itself has been contained. Its been fenced off, but the big question is what to do now . Now, environmentalists are warning that this is an event of catastrophic implications for wildlife in the area, for the Water Systems, too. And at the moment, it seems that officials here in russia really dont know how to deal with this. It is in an extremely remote area of the russian arctic, the tundra. There are no roads to the area. The river itself is not navigable by boat. So there are Big Questions about what theyre going to do with this fuel, which theyre now pumping out of the river systems. And yesterday on state tv, there was quite an extraordinary Video Conference that president putin held with his ministers and with the local officials in that area, in norilsk area. And he was asking what on earth had happened, and essentially berating local officials that he said had
taken two days to inform the emergencies mini5try and to inform the authorities about what had happened. So suggesting there had been some kind of attempt to cover this up for a couple of days. In fact, he said that the authorities had found out about this from social media. He was absolutely furious, and one of the newspaper headlines this morning described him as being white with rage. The headlines on bbc news. A german sex offender has been identified as a prime suspect in the disappearance of the british girl Madeline Mccann from a Holiday Resort in portugal 13 years ago.

New car sales in the uk fell by 89 in may, only slightly less negative than a 97 collap5e in the previous month. The figures show that the idustry is continuing to be hit by the coronavirus lockdown. Joining me now is our business presenter, ben thompson. From the sound of those figures, it i5 from the sound of those figures, it is being hit and being hit badly. Ye5, youre right. Normally the industry 5ales about 180,000 cars in the month of may, but last month, selling ju5t the month of may, but last month, selling just 20,000. Not surprising, you might say, given car showrooms we re you might say, given car showrooms were closed as part of the lockdown. Tho5e car showrooms got the go ahead to reopen on monday, so already we are getting a sense of how the industry might find the next few months. I was in a car showroom on
monday, and they told me that demand online had been particularly strong. People doing click and collect to try and pick up their cars, but what we might see over the coming months i5a we might see over the coming months is a resurgence in a pent up demand from people who have not been able to swa p from people who have not been able to swap their car. And also quite a big increa5e to swap their car. And also quite a big increase in the number of people buying used cars. Perhaps as Public Transport look5 le55 buying used cars. Perhaps as Public Transport look5 less attractive in the wake of this lockdown, more people might be seeking to buy their own vehicle. The industry says that demand will be pretty robust, but nonetheless, it has been shut down for so long, and a5 nonetheless, it has been shut down for so long, and as the figures tell u5, for so long, and as the figures tell us, it has made a pretty tough time. A number of car makers are making job losses as a result. Lets get the thoughts ofjim. He is the editorial director at what car. He joins me now, good morning. What do you make of these figures . On one hand, no surprise. Car5howroom5 we re hand, no surprise. Car5howroom5 were closed, people couldnt go out and buy. At the same time, the industry now trying to look at what the future is like. A few
absolutely. The figures are not as a prize, this is an industry which has pretty much been paralysed by the cri5i5. Pretty much been paralysed by the crisis. It is only now starting to come out of it. What is crucial was mondays decision to open dealerships in england down the line. Northern ireland will open next week and hopefully the industry in scotland and wales will ease that is in. What we are seeing on our own websites and what dealers are reporting is there is this pent up demand coming through. People have been holding off on buying cars. Many people at lease cars, and they have to keep updating them on a cycle, and that demand is there to be taken advantage of. The concern is longer term, will people still wa nt is longer term, will people still want a new car is . We are facing a huge economic crisis. We are starting to see the first cracks of the job losses coming through. Not just in the car industry, but in the wider economy. How much will people wa nt wider economy. How much will people want new cars and will the shift in
used cars commentate in that in any way . Yeah, i wanted to ask you about that. Quite clearly many dealers wanting to talk up their pro5pect5. They say there is a lot of demand that couldnt be serviced while the showrooms were closed. But with a looming rece55ion that is all but inevitable now if we look at these numbers, people will have less money in their pocket, and that will suggest they are less likely to go out and buy a big purchase like a car. Absolutely. There are concerns. We have been pulling our own audience throughout the weeks of the crisis, and what we have seen is the intention to buy a car at longer term essentially is collapsing. Some of that may be because they have seen of that may be because they have seen the light at the end of the tunnel that they will be able to buy a car in tunnel that they will be able to buy a carina tunnel that they will be able to buy a car in a nearer term, but also it is fall in confidence. As an industry, it has to to worry of what is to come, and we have to look to see what incentives it can offer and perhaps more broadly, what the government can offer as incentives
to keep it moving. It is an industry that employs close to 1 Million People by most estimates across retail and manufacturing. It touches all sorts of businesses across the uk, and of course it contributes nearly 15 of the net value of exports that the uk achieved every year. Yes, and lets talk about what tho5e incentive5 might look like. Becau5e quite clearly in some countries around the world, they are looking at ways to stimulate demand. I know germany are looking at a scrappage scheme whereby if you trade in your old car, they will not maybe dont have thousand pounds of a new one. Could we see Something Like that here . Potentially, the industry is nervous about talking about it. Obviously it hasjust unlocked this pent up demand and doesnt want to see people waiting. It is trying to encourage people to ta ke it is trying to encourage people to take advantage of the offer is there. The importance of the industry to the wider economy means that it should be front of mind for
some consideration and incentives. I think those incentives will focus on environmental responsibility. They will be trying to take older, more polluting cars off the road and getting more environmentally friendly ones on it. But it does have a weight in mind. There is a period before it had any hope of getting those incentives, but there is an initiative launched across europe by other countries as you say, and it will be one that will be looked at closely by the industry and by government, im sure. Yes, absolutely. Good to talk to you, as always. Jim holder, executive director at what car. Rebecca, it really puts into focus when we have heard the numbers this morning from aston martin. They say they are going to cut 500 jobs. They say they wa nt to going to cut 500 jobs. They say they want to reduce the number of people employed there because they are reducing their production and they call it a fundamental reset of their
business. Elsewhere, the car showroom chain say they are going to cut 1500 jobs, closed 12 of their sites, because so many concerns about whether they will have the money in their pocket to go out and upgrade the car. Change the car of the next few months, so a lot of Big Questions for the industry, and at the moment, very few answers. The latest set of figures suggesting a 90 fall in a new car registrations last month. As those dealerships stay closed. Thank you. Sobering figures, as you say. The uks Bafta Television awards have just been announced, and a powerful drama about the Chernobyl Nuclear power station disaster looks like it could be in for a successful night. The sky atlantic and hbo series, called chernobyl, was nominated for nine awards including best leading actorforjared harris. It was not shortlisted for best drama that will go to either the crown, gentleman jack, giri haji or the end of the world. Our entertainment correspondent colin patersonjoins us now to run through some of the nominations. Chernobyl, i thought it was fantastic. I dont know if im allowed to express an opinion. It is well deserved to have received this number of nominations. well deserved to have received this number of nominations. I thought it was absolutely wonderful bit of tv. From such an unlikely team. When you think it was created by a man called craig madden who previously was best known for writing the hangover part two and three. Knock about comedy. The director is a guy who used to be a swedish pop star in the 905. He went by the name stackable, but together they created a wonderful drama about the 1986 Nuclear Disaster in the soviet union. It is nominated in miniseries, that is the category it was eligible for. Jared harris from mad men, many people know, was nominated for best actor. That was one of the big ones to have done well today. Also the crown. Series three of the ground nominated for seven baftas, and strangely absolutely nothing for Olivia Colman as her role in Queen Elizabeth ii, and she is normally a realfavourite of the baftas. Joss oconnor was nominated for his role, Helena Bonham carterfor nominated for his role, Helena Bonham carter for playing nominated for his role, Helena Bonham carterfor playing princess margaret. Lots of familiar names in the list. People like Phoebe Waller bridge, glenda jackson, i noticed she must be one of the oldest nominees. A lot of first time nominees. A lot of first time nominees as well. There was a real spread. Absolutely, more than half an acting nominees are first time nominees. The likes likes of the start from the bbc two detective drama that was on towards the end of last year, giri haji. Doubt it has done really well. You mentioned glenda jackson, not the oldest person ever. With that she might
have been, 8a years old she has been nominated for her first tv role for almost 30 years, but not quite as old as. When she was nominated for the age of 89. I can always rely on you for getting the stats right. What is the ceremony going to look at . Is it going to look like you in your living room . Very different, we think it is going to be a feature, and richard iowa eddie who won a bafta for the it crowd a couple of yea rs bafta for the it crowd a couple of years ago. It will be held on the 315t years ago. It will be held on the 31st ofjuly and winners will be giving their acceptance speeches remotely from their living rooms. We are going to see perhaps what Glenda Jacksons living room looks like if she wins best actress, so a very different kind of ceremony. They we re different kind of ceremony. They were originally supposed to be held in may but were delayed because of covid 19. One very interesting nominee, i think we should point out, is the interview of emily made lists with prince andrew, and that
was nominated. Interestingly, prince williams nephew is president of bafta. Good to talk to you, many thanks. You are watching bbc news. Now its time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. Hello. The second half of the week, much different to how we started this week, some of the biggest temperature changes, at least in the last a8 hours, have been in north yorkshire. 2a degrees on tuesday afternoon, just ten celsius on wednesday afternoon, felt like a completely different change of seasons. And that cooler story continues through into the weekend. Some rain at times, cant be guaranteed for every garden and all will turn windier. Not too breezy out there, though, today. Therell be plenty of cloud around, showers across scotland, Northern Ireland, Northern England push a bit further southwards. But still many in the south will stay largely dry. The showers in Northern England and southeast scotland could be heavier through the afternoon, and it could start feel even colder across the north and north east
as those northerly winds pick up. Not too bad in the sunnier moments in the south, 18 or 19 the high. But overnight, there will still be some showers around. Clearer skies, too. But in the north of scotland, where the winds are lighter in southern scotland, Northern England and the skies clear this will be coolest of all, temperatures just a few degrees above freezing, most well and truly still frost free. Then into friday, sunshine and showers for england, wales and Northern Ireland. Some showers could become heavy and thundery at times. But as we start the day with showers in scotland, northern half of scotland, we replace those showers with some longer spells of heavier rain as we go into friday afternoon, northeast scotland could be some minorflooding too. And temperatures only nine or ten degrees. Maybe even a bit of snow on the hills. And it will be feeling much colder than that given the strength of the wind, particularly northern half the country we will see some widespread gales develop as we go through friday and into friday night. All linked to this area of low pressure which is developing to the east of us over the next few days, pushing another bit further southwards. So its the north and the west
where some of the strongest of the winds will be, biggest chance of travel disruption across the northern half of the uk, as you see winds maybe top 60 miles an hour in places. But across the board, a windy day on saturday, bright compared to friday in northern scotland, cloudy for most, outbreaks of rain, although again, if youre after rain in the south, no guarantee of that. But a cold day compared to the high 205 we saw last week, just 12 1a degrees, probably warmest western scotland with a bit of sunshine and shelter, as it will be on sunday. Western areas always brightest on sunday. The winds ease down relative to saturday. Greatest chance of rain, central and eastern parts of england. Thats how its looking, see you soon. 01 59 20,503 2147483052 36 24,966 and the fact that he too experience 2147483052 36 24,966 4294966103 13 29,430 the virus has sharpened his resolve
