Lets return to our main story. The bank of england governor Andrew Bailey has said he will be ready to take action to help the uk economy weather the coronavirus crisis. He was speaking after figures showed that the countrys economy hello and welcome if youre shrank by 20. 4 in april watching in the uk or around the world. The largest monthly contraction on record as the country spent its first full month in lockdown. Well obviously its a dramatic and big number. Our top story tonight in april, but actually its not the uk economy shrank by more than a fifth, thats the largest monthly a surprising number. Contraction ever recorded, as the country spent its first full month in lockdown. The economy clearly closed down substantially. At the end of march the slump of 20. 4 in economic and april so its not surprising. Growth is three times larger its actually pretty much than the decline seen in line with what we are during the whole of the financial expecting. Crisis 12 years ago. The big question of course is obviously, what happens next . It comes as germanys
cabinet agrees another we monitor a lot of very High Economic stimulus package, worth 145 billion to mitigate the fallout frequency data these days. From the coronavirus crisis. It includes payments we have a lot of access to families of more than 300 to that data, which is per child, why we had a good read and temporary reductions on what in sales tax. Was can happen in april. We see science of the economy now. In the us, consumer beginning to come back into life. Confidence has perked up from the record lows we do see that. Its early days its a gradual of the past few months. Coming back to life. We do see those signs. The federal reserve, however, i think thats evidence has warned of a further sharp of things starting up again. Decline in Economic Activity in the current quarter. And warned the us faced an arduous but they really big question that and uncertain recovery. Goes beyond that is not only how quickly and what pace and in italy, Prime MinisterGiuseppe Conte has been questioned by prosecutors and what sequence parts after relatives of covid 19 victims demanded an inquiry into alleged government negligence. Of the economy come back to life, the focus has been on lockdown this whole policy and relatives argue virus question about how much long term hotspots should have damages that can be . That the thing we have to be very focused on. Because thats where jobs get lost been isolated earlier. And damages done to peoples livelihood. Now, we hope that will be as small as possible but we have well have more on all those stories this next hour. To be ready and ready but first to the economic to take action. Situation here in the uk. 0ur economics editor notjust bank kof england by broadly faisal islam has this report. What we can do to offset those long term damage and effect. We have simply never seen a number like this and people would never in Northern Ireland, non essential shops and retailers a massive hit to the economy is no have reopened, after being shut at the start of the covid 19 surprise when streets are silent and pandemic in march. 0ur ireland correspondent chris page shops are closed and factories are ideal and tens of billions in sales dont happen because they cannot. Reports from belfast. But such a slump on the scare in one month is not just the reports from belfast. Coronavirus closure is over. But such a slump on the scare in one month is notjust a record, it was unimaginable and way beyond any retail the coronavirus closure is over. Retail is being unlocked. In normal scale. This zeal, one example Northern Ireland they shop shutters are up but there is a new set of ofa normal scale. This zeal, one example of a major attraction that shut down rules. Cleanliness is now about more during the pandemic as seeing these than adding sparkle. It is vital to numbers. April had easter in it this keep people safe. Retailers are glad to get going. We have to go on we year so numbers. April had easter in it this year so we were numbers. April had easter in it this year so we were expecting about have to figure out a way and its 70,000 guests to come and enjoy the not perfect. But nobody wanted this. Zoo 70,000 guests to come and enjoy the zoo and we got nobody at all so we have to be optimistic, we have to while we are expecting £1. 8 million see that this is a chance to try and in terms of visitor income for that month we did not receive anything at rebuild our businesses and move forward. And hopefully improve. It all so disastrous april for us. In isnt quite as busy as friday in april the 1st full month of normal times. There are cues outside lockdown, the economy fell by 20 some shops but they tend to be losing faith of its total value. It short. However, this looks more like means since the lockdown began in a city centre than at any time over march a means since the lockdown began in marcha uk the last three months. The ghost means since the lockdown began in march a uk economy lost a quarter of town feel has gone. Buying his back. Value against the cliff on these charts making the financial crisis of 2008 resembled a small prep. The shoppers have missed the experience. Question is whether things go from i think its great, its atmosphere here . We depend so much on human backin i think its great, its atmosphere back in the town as well. Its contact and we have been very badly pleasant. I think its brilliant. Just to lift people spirits. Its hit by this but also amazingly beena just to lift people spirits. Its been a long few months. It might feel like the events of this year resilient and creative. We will bounce back. There was a report that belong in the pages of a novel. And came out a couple of days ago from real life has entered a new era. This book seller things it may take that group of industrialised nations and it suggested that the drop in gdp for this year for the uk would time to develop new business. This book seller things it may take time to develop new businesslj think time to develop new business. think weve all been affected by the so think weve all been affected by the so deeply and in so many ways. I actually be worse than for every think a lot of people will be industrialised nation so we are in a reticent and cautious about going very, very difficult situation as a into places where they are going to be meeting people and things like country. In oxfordshire, an airfield that. I think we wont manage it. With tens of millions worth a vehicle is waiting for that show 0ur that. I think we wont manage it. Our main aim is to make it as co mforta ble our main aim is to make it as rooms to sell again. And in turn comfortable for people as possible meaning carfactories to come in. All shops in england rooms to sell again. And in turn meaning car factories will be far from full tilt. This is what those will be allowed to open on monday. Green numbers look like in reality. No date has been set for scotland or up green numbers look like in reality. Wales. Northern ireland has taken a up and down the country, storage significant step on the road to economic recovery. But the journey areas, full of unsold cars, in april ahead will be massively challenging. And 99. 7 follow in car sales. The but the journey ahead will be massively challenging. Lets speak now to keith burge, a director at the institute for challenge now as lockdown starts to economic development, which represents professionals involved in economic regeneration and development in the uk. Ease as when it actually returned to if you want to edit these astons, normal . Will these cars actually you must take control of this page sell as the economy fundamentally damaged . For the moment the government is focusing on a gradual the government said they would be a restart in output. And they repeated reopening, for example of the that today. Do you think its housing market. We are just starting likely . Im afraid i dont. I wish to recover, i do believe it would it was. But this much talked of ta ke to recover, i do believe it would take until the end of the year to come close with a wheel or even get there but i feel positive that v shaped recovery they said they get theres enough people who want to out of the fix that we get out of move and get enough people who want his quickly is what got in and i to move then people will sow and think is a tad optimistic. then they will buy. And there is his quickly is what got in and i think is a tad optimistic. I was listening today to lord oatmeal on much lost ground to make up in the gyms as well with the added the bbc radio for. He was saying you challenge of white people who will should never let a crisis go to use them in a nearly normal . M challenge of white people who will waste. Is there an opportunity here, use them in a nearly normal . If that sector has proved before that it is do you think for the uk government to do things that it might not have particularly resilient in a recession and i think it will considered before . And what might that be . I very much like to think benefit greatly from the tailwind provided by the pandemic actually. So. We have never seen that be . I very much like to think so. When the economies generally provided by the pandemic actually. We have never seen a provided by the pandemic actually. We have never seen a week or month, the economy far from fighting fakes, doing 0k and it was generally doing the economy far from fighting fakes, the questionjust the economy far from fighting fakes, okay. You tend to overlook some of the question just how long the process of rehabilitation will take. The fundamental weaknesses but there undoubtedly were within the economy. I think if there is a Silver Lining lets speak now to poppy trowbridge, former adviser to Philip Hammond when he was uk chancellor. To this very big and dark cloud if youre happy with us. The high thats looming over as it is that there is an opportunity to rebuild street open study on monday and the there is an opportunity to rebuild the economy differently. To make it government will be hoping that more productive, to make it more consumers drive the recovery, but inclusive and to make it more there is a bit of a quandary for the sustainable. What sort of tools. Government. 0n there is a bit of a quandary for the government. On one hand embarrassing be alert, stay safe and on the other they are seeing debt on Public Transport and get into the high what sort of tools they could use to street and start shopping again. Do that . In anticipation of this that is exactly eight. The government may know what kinds of restrictions will continue to exist weve actually started a commission in our working for economic renewal bringing restrictions will continue to exist in ourworking and restrictions will continue to exist in our working and daily lives, together academics and practitioners through the end of this year and even into next year. They may be from across the uk. Dare i say some able to forecast that but what they of the best brains in the business. Wa nt to able to forecast that but what they want to be able to forecast easy is who can focus on very specific how however personnel can see my areas. We will be looking at the Family Spending behaviours have changed perhaps permanently because economic infrastructure which clearly is not fit. At the moment
of whats happened over the last two months. And also they will not be not adequately resourced a properly able to predict the entirety the done. Employment of steel which will effect on wages and job security within thejob be absolutely crucial because effect on wages and job security within the job market. Unemployment is going to go through effect on wages and job security within thejob market. There the roof. And underemployment is effect on wages and job security within the job market. There are two going become basically a big 01 within the job market. There are two or three other factors they want to be able to count on returning to problem. Investment and also normal and i think thats what is worrying most people and governments capturing local economic boundaries to make sure that those areas which right now. That combined with the are going to suffer the most can potential permanent rise in unemployment numbers which as it ca ptu re are going to suffer the most can capture as much economic value as possible. Weve heard from ken ta kes unemployment numbers which as it takes up has a pernicious effect on clarke today who says its not in Consumer Sentiment mode and business the instincts of conservative government to start, to keep confidence. On the issue of business spending its way out of trouble. And confidence, every Business Leader that i speak to their concerns are at some point taxes will return. Do you think thats likely to happen . Twofold, one the quarantine that for 0rdo you you think thats likely to happen . Or do you think because of the people coming into the country, lots Interest Rates at the moment maybe they will let stand . Of firing people coming into the country to drive the retail stand Interest Rates at the moment maybe they will let stand . I think i got they will let stand . I think i got the gist of the question. The and then there is the issue of this government has already spent a large amount of money on the furlough evening to a rule, you have to scheme. And provided loans not all create space for businesses to of which im afraid will be repaid. Succeed. This neves are dynamic,
and its committed to a programme of thatis succeed. This neves are dynamic, that is my experience as someone who followed business my whole career city significant infrastructure. I suppose our argument is that if the and secondly the treasury, the app government is going to spend dynamic in the way back about and hundreds of billions of pounds aping all of us can take examples of getting the economy back on its of basements strength at that in feet. At perhaps that it wants to this crisis, that as 13. The quarantine issue i understand why they think games are concerned about rebuild it in its former image, will it but i am very clear, the health actually try to build some better. Of this nation as the number one we think there is general thing we need to maintain consumer opportunity to do the latter. think we got that. There was a bit business confidence. The health of of break up but we got the gist of it. Oui business confidence. The health of our work force of our people is what will help the economy bounce back. Apologies for the break up there on it may be frustrating but it has to that line. Bea it may be frustrating but it has to be a priority. It is not really well, the Economic Uncertainty has led to calls happening in a vacuum, we have heard for the brexit transition period where the uk follows eu rules on trade, travel, and business to be today about the government not extended beyond the end extending that transition, of course of this year. Today, the government ruled that there is an argument going on with out, with cabinet minister one of our biggest markets and that michael gove saying hed formally confirmed to the eu that thered be no delay. Is china. When you look at it and but checks on goods coming here from the eu will be around, i dont think any government phased in next year, faced an economic crisis like this to give businesses time to adjust. 0ur Political Correspondent before, have we . Not since the wire alex forsyth reports. It has not been business
perhaps, it took 100 years to like this for months. Many firms disrupted payback wired back. There in 90 on issa wages returned to the because of the virus and at the end of this year, pre financial crisis level about another big change could be brewing. Three weeks before clothing hit. It our current trade terms with the eu took more than a decade for them to end and there will be no extension return, that as the bad news. The whether there is a new deal or not. Good news although thats not the we would not be extending. Right way to describe the case back that is it, we are leaving to where the economy is in this the transition period on december 31 together and i suspect that may and that provides clarity and certainty to business drive them to ways of cooperating. And our announcement allows business we are all going to have to recover to plan in an appropriate and flexible way. To get their index. So i think in some ways it might force a different the uk left the eu onjanuary 31, type of dialogue and trading a loving one year were not much changed to work out future relations. Relationships we may not have those talks have not made huge considered but you are right, it is progress so on monday not happening in a vacuum but it has the Prime Minister will meet eu figures to try to get things moving at least injected a sense of being because december 31 is the deadline understanding of how globalised for a new trade deal to be agreed markets are and how globalised and that wont be extended. Business is and thats really important part of how we climb out although some still think it should be and why. . Of this economic slump. Thank you to take away the risk of a no deal outcome and to make sure that very much. All of us remain focused coronavirus has hit the most deprived parts of england and wales on supporting business twice as hard as wealthier areas, according to official figures. Through the post covid recovery
urban areas, which are more densely and not making the challenges populated, were worse affected than rural areas. That the economy and our businesses meanwhile, in the last 24 hour face any worse than it already is. Period, the number of deaths reported in the uk in hospitals, for some businesses, care homes and the Wider Community some relief today. This fashion firm imports related to coronavirus were up by 202, bringing the total from and exports to the eu and today number of deaths to 41,1181. The government said from january it would relax new rules on some goods coming in. Our Health Editor hugh pym reports. Six months of grace for customs paperwork and payments. Setting up a new Border Control the northeast of england has been system in seven or eight months would not be realistic and i think hit hard by coronavirus. The uk can see more benefit from that. Following the peak in the government insists it is not april, the number of backtracking on previous plans, deaths fell across the country last month but slower in this region and arguing that a phased approach to new customs checks is pragmatic elsewhere. And local Health Experts say in the current economic climate. There were a number of factors. But the eu is not reciprocating. As a gp in city of newcastle we have it says it will be ready for controls on imports comejanuary. Large numbers of people with brexit may not have dominated long term conditions here of late but that does not mean or chronic diseases the political pressure has eased. And the ones that we see a the government was re elected with a significant majority, with a strong mandate to get lot of include chest diseases, chronic obstructive disease is very common
on with brexit. And that clearly puts you at greater risk if you would catch the virus. If the government is going figures out today for england to fulfil the commitments and wales show a range of death on which it was elected, rates linked to covid 19 between march and we need to have those customs may. Processes and our borders fully operational as soon as we can. They are adjusted for differing age profiles in each area. In england in the northeast that for businesses, certainty figure was just over 97 per 100,000 is key, even more so given the turmoil of coronavirus. Of population. More clarity on border plans have been welcomed in london the highest was 137 but it is whether a broader deal can be struck which remains crucial. Per 100,000 in population alex forsyth, bbc news, westminster. Scotlands first minister nicola and the lowest in england sturgeon has insisted that was the southwest with just over a1. A programme to test care workers in wales, the highest area once again a for coronavirus is accelerating. Big city was cardiff, so farjust over a third at 125 per 100,000 deaths. Have been tested wales as a whole at 67 thats despite a promises last month that all care home staff was below england. Would get a weekly test. 0ur scotland editor the figures show death rates in the most sarah smith reports. Deprived areas were im going tojust a lot higher than in the wealthiest parts of the im going to just check your lungs country. There. All staffs working in every in england, more than twice as high. Ca re there. All staffs working in every care home in scotland are supposed to be tested for coronavirus every there is a higher death rate in covid amongst people who for week. A big promise. The big problem example are working
unskilled labour and its is that nearly for weeks after that quite likely that there are higher proportions of people in that commitment was made, only a third of the staff have been tested even area that went into private areas. Once. At this home theyve had no confirmed cases but theyve also similarity with an area in urban been unable to get a hold of the areas of high population density it is hard to do your social distancing test. I think it would have been effectively and many of the deprived beneficial to us to be tested daily. Areas we are looking at are areas it wouldve kind of put us all maybe i population density. The medical director for nhs ingrained acknowledged that these a bit more at ease. Where before are challenging issues. Down the line now having been closed those things that you are at march its quite scary thinking more likely to do badly when you get the infection like that if somebody comes back with a diabetes, obesity, lack heart and positive test that will have a huge lung disease, we see more frequently impact on the home. Across the way only for care home staff were tested in my deprived areas of the country in the first week of this month. Of all the people in scotland who had died of covid 19 47 of them had and so tackling those issues fundamentally that beenin died of covid 19 47 of them had been in care homes. That is more also mean that people than a been in care homes. That is more thana died been in care homes. That is more than a died in hospital. In the are less likely for an infection such as covid 19. Government know that without in scotland and northern visitors its staff will cause the ireland, there are no greatest risk for bringing the virus into homes. Thats why they want to despite death rates which have test them all every week. But its a been attested by the target theyve yet to meet. The differing age demographics in each area. There will be a lot more research
charity that runs this home stay on health inequalities, theyve only been able to get 5 of prevalence among bame communities, wealth disparities, and underlying conditions. Their scottish staff tested. Compared to 90 in their homes in todays figures for england and wales at a bit more to an understanding england. I welcome the commitment to of coronavirus. Prosecutors in northern wee kly england. I welcome the commitment to weekly tested because that is a italy have been grilling Prime MinisterGiuseppe Conte commitment that hasnt happened in and two of his ministers over the governments handling of england. But the reality has to catch up with the government the countrys coronavirus outbreak. Position. The first minister will theyre investigating potential not set a date for when the criminal negligence. Government might meet the testing in particular, the prosecutors go. Why is the commitment to test are examining whether two towns all care home staff not been met in lombardy should have been locked down earlier. 0ur correspondent mark lowen in rome even though its over three weeks explained to me how no one seems since it was first made . And went to be taking responsibility. With that promise be photo . M since it was first made . And went with that promise be photo . It does ta ke with that promise be photo . It does take time to put in place a programme of testing that number of dan has been a real passing of the people in place. And Health Boards bulk of responsibility in terms of have been doing that. The health how, wayne, who could have imposed secretary and i have given a fairly the lockdown around that town, a direct indication over the last week or out that that progress should be city in northern italy, it is a accelerated. Thats why the health prettys second richest city and it secretary has made that very clear was the second major hub of kamano to Health Boards. The other side of thatis virus here in a pity towards the end to Health Boards. The other side of that is that weve made clear to Health Boards that the scottish of february. You may remember that government is there if they need
town was the first time that was hit Additional Resources and support. The Scottish Government is working by the storm of kamano virus, that ona the Scottish Government is working on a deal to cover sick pay for any and the surrounding areas locked ca re on a deal to cover sick pay for any care home workers who did not do down quickly, not so much more test positive and have to isolate. Important figures for staff testing will now down quickly, not so much more im porta nt safety down quickly, not so much more important safety and where there was pressure from economic and business be posted every week. Intensifying pressure to increase the test. Groups who were unwilling to see we dont know how many Economic Activity limited there. So of the tens of thousands the local officials and the wider of hospital patients discharged to uk care homes at the height region officials who you rightly say of the coronavirus pandemic were tested are under the control of the thats the finding of the National Audit office. Right wing league party and the 0ur social Affairs Correspondent national government, there was a alison holt explains more. Shifting of blame and shifting of responsibility for valuable days i think this report provides us there at the start and two weeks on with a really important timeline terror and National Lockdown came in for the decisions being made by government and by nhs england and they paid the price of that two and these are decisions which have shaped our response to the crisis. Week delay very, very dearly. In it starts off with what was effectively the nhs action plan, march alone 6000 people died. A letter sent on march the 17th week delay very, very dearly. In march alone 6000 people diedlj remember your interview with the setting up measures to prevent Prime Minister last month and he hospitals being overwhelmed said as he would have called the which included the rapid discharge lockdown any area where they would of patients from hospitals, have called him a madman because it including around about 25,000 people is that the power of hindsight that
we are now looking at all the who were moved to care homes. Decisions that politicians have made, if we knew then what we know now that surety the government would the report says it is not known how have lockdown earlier. And we have many had covid 19 or even how many had been tested and it also says just been in the city and we have we do not know how many health got material going out on bbc next and social care staff had been tested during the pandemic. Week including on bbc world news and the peak of outbreaks of the virus week including on bbc world news and we spoke to michelle politicians and they are quite defensive as well in care homes was the first week admit there were some errors and of april and about a week later they say oh it was the other on april the 15th we got the governments social care Action Authority that should have taken bad plan, so this is the sort of thing decision and i may say its realm that say that taken the candidates that will fuel the argument that social care was an afterthought as an antiseptic on fatality with and that had tragic consequences the same lives again and these with a high number of deaths in care homes. Questions are being asked all around the world 93 you are in britain as 0n the one hand you have the nhs, well of a bad timing of the lockdown a National Health service well and the price that was paid for loved, well understood, losing valuable days. Ultimately if a powerful voice, and on the other it is coming out of this, the hand you have the care system, infection rate is right down to the complex and fragmented, figures coming out today for that poorly understood, and this report last 2a hours shall record no says that that has been a problematic relationship increase in new cases coming to for a very long time. It also says, and this 0. 07 . 160 new cases. If any has is particularly striking, no one knows how many people receive come out of the other months of hell social care in england. And now its time i think that there government will see our says that it area and now its time i think that there are a lot of questions being asked about what went wrong and how that has taken the right decisions hell could have been diminished or at the times and it has followed released at the start. The best advice but i think it is safe to say this is not police in france have been staging something that is going to go away a demonstration in paris. And it will also add to the call officers are unhappy about a new ban on chokeholds for reform of the system where reform is long overdue. And limits to what they can alison, many thanks. Do during arrests. Police immobilisation techniques have come under greater scrutiny since the death india has overtaken britain of george floyd in america. As the country with the worlds fourth most coronavirus cases protesters in seattle have taken with the number of infections over a district of the city rapidly approaching three hundred thousand. And declared it an autonomous zone. The number of coronavirus deaths it has set up a stand off in india now stands at eight thousand five hundred. Between the states governor and the white house. But restrictions on shopping malls donald trump threatened have been eased to help to take back the area stimulate the economy. While Governorjay Inslee said 0ur correspondent, yogita limaye, is in mumbai. Even the number of deaths is really the president should stay out of the states business rising very rapidly. With seattles mayor adding that any like, yesterday, nearly 400 people invasion of the city died of the infection would be illegal. In the country overall. Ive been speaking to our correspondent gary 0 donoghue the city im in, mumbai, about the decision to give over which is the worst affected city
a section of the city to protesters. In india, for two days in a row, weve had now nearly 100 people in the us, the louisville, kentucky, dying of the infection. Metro Council Unanimously passed and whats particularly breonnas law last night, distressing for a lot of families here in mumbai, named in honor of Police Shooting in the capital delhi, victim breonna taylor, but in many major cities of india, outlawing no knock warrants is that if their loved ones get and requiring body cameras be turned sick, its a real struggle on before and after every search. To find a hospital bed. And even those who do sometimes get, breonna taylor, a 26 year old black woman, was shot by Louisville Police when they executed a no knock say, a regular bed, warrant while she slept in her home in march, but what they really need and the fact that no Police Officers is critical care, what they really have been charged with her death has been a big part need is an intensive care unit, of the black lives matter movement. And then those are not available. Lets speak now to andrea ritchie, author of invisible no more over the past two weeks, Police Violence against black women and women of colour. ive spoken to so many people whove actually lost members of their family before they could even get looked at by doctors. It is that youre happy with us. The coronavirus pandemic has seen many stories of people helping its it is that youre happy with us. Its really a surprising to me when you read this story and i had read each other. It some weeks ago that her name has one such case is a michelin star chef who has been not come up more during the protest, helping to feed millions of people do you think she has been forgotten in india despite being thousands
of miles away in new york. And itself . I know she has not been vikas khanna started the feedindia forgotten and itself . I know she has not been fo rg otte n by initiative a couple of months ago and itself . I know she has not been forgotten by a black women, girls, and trans people who are on her but this week he launched a food drive, focusing on the transgender behalf and its a statement to community, people with diabilities and other groups. Hejoins us now. Demand an aspiration, we are insisting that we fold in the stories like Mike Whitfield around great to have you on the program. Policing self there are many more how on earth do you start an voices speaking her name and Many Initiative like this when youre more new as well. When you look at thousands of miles away in manhattan . You have to be either crazy or a genius. Im gotta with Police Arrest and police abuse in america, there is no group that genius. Telus, who did you enlist to suffers more greatly than black help you . I just use the power of women, more so suffers more greatly than black women, more so than pac man. Suffers more greatly than black women, more so than pacman. Cite any black women are the group most genius. Telus, who did you enlist to help you . Ijust use the power of my twitter account. I went on twitter likely to be killed by police when and asked is anybody can go and unarmed as Breanna Taylor was than check on the neighborhoods. If any other group including black men anybody the offices, old ham leprosy and additionally we experience different kinds of Police Violence offices. I have worked with those that we dont talk about like sexual organisations for many years and i violence which the officers who know that the kitchen do not run as killed her have been accused of in an operation. Its too much of dry past without any action taken by the force. There is not currently which goods like rice, dry sugar, tea and
im aware any official data all those things. I realise much collection either on Police Sexual early on that they are going to be misconduct and i know there are a in huge crisis in that feet of those lot of complaints from women who we re lot of complaints from women who were arrested about the fact that they have been abused during the arrest process. Is that something organizations. Especially community centers. Also for those thousands you would like to see as part of the and thousands of Migrant Workers who reforms coming in . I think at this will returning to their home villages across india. These days point the movement has come to the conclusion that this is not the time you are famous. Youve cooked for the 0bama is, you have been on tv for Old Solutions or isolations of the past and that reforms which we shows with gordon ramsay, but it have been engaged in extensive wasnt always that way was a . You are not from a rich family. I dare reform process in the us over say, you understand how precarious centuries, decades and said to me the last five years since ferguson it can be in india. I understand but uprising and mike browns kidding, i my sense of hunger didnt come from india so much. Because i was born think people have come to the conclusion that we are past the time and raised elsewhere. We have a huge for rest form, we are at that point where we need to determine what that Community Kitchen where everybody gets fed. The entire city can eat conditions are that brought office there. My sense of hunger came from as tos door and those conditions new york when i was struggling here from the very bottom. It is not easy because it seems no matter what policies are in place the outcomes rising is a brown kid who wants to, are the same and people i think weve had enough and we are not going for half measures any more. What we want to figure out now as who came to america with the dream stop the police from adding power, of irling a michelin star. I think
my aspirations are too high or control, funding, scope of their work and how can he actually move crazy. My sense of hunger came from new york. When i used to be at Grand Central or sleeping around. This is money and investment into the things that will make a safer and not simplya that will make a safer and not simply a process to some one breonna when the post 9 11 was also happening. It was not easy for us to taylors door in the middle of the getjobs. So i realise that mice night where they have to announce themselves and can go immediately after what i dont have to announce skin, learning learning in america themselves, they should not be there more than india. And youre paying in the first place in a position where they could care a young woman as she sleeps in her bed. It back full time and your mum is on her own in india . My mum is on her own. Ina her own in india . My mum is on her here in the uk, own. In a city where the Golden Temple is. I wont give up on this the Sun Newspaper has said it did not intend to glorify Domestic Abuse, following criticism for publishing an Interview Initiative its very hard. Im so in which the former husband oij rowling defends physically abusing used to working in the calibre of the harry potter author. Campaigners and members eight michelin star restaurant. You of parliament have called the suns decision to publish the interview see wanting once you had to repeat volatile. When youre running initiatives like this so many miles dangerous and irresponsible. Away at you constantly need to follow u p away at you constantly need to follow up with people. In the lockdown deliveries are not easy at all. So i gave up on april 11. I well earlier our correspondent Helena Wilkinson gave us a bit more detail on whath rowling had said called my mama said mum, i cant run about her personal experience this. Its too difficult, too of Domestic Abuse. Challenging. If i was in india i probably wouldve been a notch
bigger, betterjob. She said i trained you for almost 50 years not that you can take selfies at home. I she talked about the fact that she was a victim of domestic wa nt that you can take selfies at home. I want you to field i feed my country abuse and sexual assault, right now. Youve been trained to do it was a long essay this and dont give me excuses. I have not look back. We have had more and today the Sun Newspaper on its front page track down her first husband interviewed him and than 30 Million People almost 13 got some comments and on the front Million People. How many . Say that page got the headline, i slapped jk and im not sorry. This has prompted a huge again. 13 Million People. You have amount of criticism of the way its dealt with this story as many people that fed. Fed 13 Million People. Are saying its giving a voice to an alleged perpetrator of Domestic Abuse, its getting someone like that oxygen and we have had a i hundred thousand slippers, more than 2 million bananas. This is the lot of reaction including jess number at what youre talking about. Phillips the mp, she talked about this is massive numbers. We were, initially i was doing everything on the headline being awful, also my own. And then later we got some Gillian Martin who was a member of the scottish parliament, amazing partners we got tropicana she has reacted to dues, we started getting more the headline saying partners to partner with us. Especially when i was doing few huge the
events. I did in the event which fed Sun Newspaper has not said sorry, that have not apologised for what 200,000 meals in mumbai. So people they printed but they have released could come in and there was ration a statement saying everywhere. Dry goods, people will come with bags they could take as much food as they want. And this was i felt was very important to me. Where does money come from . Who have you enlisted to help you with this . The newspaper goes on to say has it sort of grown and mushroomed as been carrying on . I initially was spending on my own. Now because we janey starling is from the Campaign Group level up, which produced guidelines can do partnerships with brands. I tell them listen, if you come on for the media on how to report Domestic Abuse stories. Board just give me a product i will put you on all my social media feeds and we get through to the people who needed most. We were, some days what did you make up a newspaper response to the criticism today . Inside the trains, on the railway stations come at the bus station, what did you make up a newspaper response to the criticism today7m is incredibly disappointing. The story is not just is incredibly disappointing. The story is notjust abouth rowling, it is about every woman in the uk leprosy centres, orphanages, highways we were serving food who survived Domestic Abuse and who everywhere. 0ne highways we were serving food everywhere. One day we served almost understands what it feels like to be afraid of your partner and half a million meals injust a single day around india and almost
humiliated by your partner and hit by your partner and ultimately has 48 cities. Im being told to wrap read that newspaper today im seeing that front page and had that up. I could talk to all day. Do you traumatic memory resurfaced. We live ina traumatic memory resurfaced. We live in a country where two women are sent recipes as well . Do you tell them how to cook it . Yes. We were murdered by a partner or ex partner and the press has a duty to report testing recipes of the food which on this responsivity and the would not get spoiled. Because india is getting very hot right now. We newspaper has a duty to all survivors of Domestic Violence and today they failed. Just finish that made it kind of indian risotto does with rice and putting flavours in them so they are sustainable. Im labour shadow minister says doubt sticking with genius. Well and disbelief are the best weapons that abusers have in their arsenal done you. Fantastic effort. Well and here you have an x partner done. The uk Prime Minister says its denying and explaining what absurd and shameful that a statue of Winston Churchill has had to be boarded up because of happened. How should a newspaper be fears it may be vandalised. Last weekend, protesters daubed it reporting a response like that . What with graffiti saying that churchill was a racist. Is the right way to go about it . Borisjohnson also warned people to stay away from protests ultimately i think newspapers need because of coronavirus. To question whether it is their Chi Chi Izundu reports. Story to tell and let that they should be giving a platform and space to these perpetrators because what we need to remember is that this has been a week of anger. Domestic abuse is about power and control. It is about people who seek Peaceful Anti racism protests marred to have absolute power and control
by violence and graffiti. Over their partner often in very humiliating and fighting ways and this is now how the churchill statue the sun has effectively extended this power and control. I Read Outside Parliament stands. 0ver fears todays march guidelines and two of the key would result in more damage. Principles in that are just the statue of Winston Churchill, accountability, so make sure that you are not publishing the who is a national hero, perpetrators perspective and also has had to be boarded up forfear dignity, centre the experiences of of violent attack, and that, to me, the women who had endured ideas is both absurd and wrong. Because there will be lots of women and lots of people reading that you should not have a situation article who might resonate with those experiences can be to seek where people who are protesting help and i think the price we need to have a beauty to accurately report on sensitive issues like on one basis are violently attacking the police or public property. Domestic abuse make their a baby a demonstration planned for tomorrow with suicide because we are public was brought forward to today because of concerns there could be health consequences. You say they should not be giving a platform to trouble between people determined to defend the monuments and those him, as he owed a rights to respondent given that shes such a who may have wanted to deface them. Famous author with millions of fewer people but a much followers and made such strong allegations against him . Is he ok heavier police presence. This is now the second week where people have taken frontpage . That is the debate is an it, you would say no . Absolutely to the streets for anti racism
marches and the protest organisers not, i would like to sit in a have said again and again that these country where two women have leaked marches should remain peaceful when by a partner, they have a responsibility to report on the and they said again and again starry sensitive sensitive me. That this will not be the last one. Im a huge fear of Domestic Abuse of there is no way i want my kids to allow other people to treat other hybrids is that they will not be people different only believed and a perpetrator will seek because of the colour of their skin. To avenge their reputation and we need change. Humiliate them in public spaces and like, whats going on right thatis humiliate them in public spaces and that is absolutely what the sun has now, we are just acting as if because its been happening couuded that is absolutely what the sun has colluded with today whether intentional or not. For ages its ok for it to carry on when we need to put a stop to that. But the debate around statues continues. From monday, face coverings will be mandatory on public in bristol this statue of black transport in england. Playwright and poet alfred fagon has transport operators will be been attacked with bleach. Able to refuse permission to travel to those who are not wearing a face covering, and it could lead to fines. While the thomas guy statue outside the transport secretary grant shapps the hospital in london confirmed that new volunteers called he founded has been boarded up journey makers will be deployed because of his links to slavery. To remind people. And organisers of todays protest are concerned that the discussions around whether statues should remain up or be taken down is overshadowing stay with us. There is more to come, their black lives matter message. Chi chi izundu, bbc news. We will discuss the economic figures and what they uk government might
