Chadwick boseman the actor who played black panther in the marvel films has died from colon cancer at the age of a3. He didnt publicise his diagnosis, four years ago, and continued to work throughout his treatment. Black panther, set in the fictional
african nation of wakanda, made more than 1. 3 billion worldwide and won many awards including three oscars. Lizo mzimba reports. Chadwick bosemans black panther was more than just a superhero, he became an icon. A figure equally adept at likeness. We dont do that here. So, how big of an assault should we expect . As he was in action. As part of Marvels Avengers series, both the character and the movie black panther shattered barriers. I know what it means to see somebody who looks like you, play the hero and the villain. You have the freedom to be both things. So, thats a beautiful thing, because it frees the human spirit. The key thing as an actor is to not
judge the characters as you play, thats how you can play them and have compassion on them. So, to be able to sit through this movie and go through that, inner conflict, frees up everyone. Notjust young black men and women, but people of all races. Black panther took more than 1 billion worldwide. This was the reaction of a group of schoolchildren when they learned that they were going to see Chadwick Bosemans movie. He first came to prominence in a series of bio pics playing characters like james brown in get on up. Tributes have been pouring in since the news was released. Fellow avengers star mark ruffalo said the democratic nominee for Vice President , kamala harris, said
directorjordan peele simply said a thought that will be shared by millions across the world as they learn of the loss of one of cinemas brightest stars. The actor chadwick boseman, whos died at the age of a3. Akua gyamfi is the founder of the British Blacklist which champions the work of african and caribbean people in the arts. She helped work with the black panther team. She gave me her reaction. It is deeply shocking. I mean, there were conversations about his health and then mainly
assumed because he is such a committed talent and dedicated to his craft, maybe it was some sort of, you know, something for a role, just to hear that this is what was happening, year, has been deeply shocking and upsetting. That role as tchalla in black panther has been so important, and so powerful, in terms of its symbolism, particularly in the debate were having in the us and the uk and the rest of the world, as well, about the of black contribution to American Life in general, but also in the arts. And he. There seems to have been a pattern of choice in his career about the film roles he took. He didnt just take anything, did he . No, that is something which is testament to who he was. Actually, those who have been fans of his career thus far would have been probably surprised that he agreed to do black panther, even though its historically and logically significant it is a more commercial role when you think about the fact that he played, you know, iconic sportsman jackie robinson, you know, godfather of soul
james brown, civil rights activist and lawyer lawyer thurgood marshall. And lawyer thurgood marshall. The fact that he chose those iconic historical black characters and icons in history, its testament to the kind of roles that he wanted to take and what path he was creating or leaving behind for people coming in his wake. The government has published new coronavirus guidelines for schools in england, just days before most pupils return. Secondary schools pupils might have to be taught on a rota system, if theres a significant increase in covid 19 cases in their area, but the education secretary, gavin williamson, said this would be only as an absolute last resort. Heres our education correspondent dan johnson. With more classrooms due to fill up next week, head teachers had called for more guidance on handling cases and responding to local outbreaks. That came late last night ahead of the bank holiday weekend. But there was still confusion about how many pupils could be sent home if a classmate test positive. Weve been asking for months and months and months what if schools need to close down because of lockdown. Thats been seen as a kind of act of heresy. Yet, here we are, the friday night before a bank holiday weekend, as schools are going to open, it really is on the government does go finest hour. These pupils in leicestershire went back this week. The prospect of whole year groups having to isolate could have affected hundreds of them. Thats been refined to reflect that a confirmed case will mean anyone whos been in close contact with that person having to go home. But that could still be hugely disruptive. The guidance also includes a four stage set of responses if there is a local lockdown, which will prioritise keeping younger children in school full time. The default position, tier one would see schools remaining open with all pupils attending full time, but if infection rates locally are considered too high, tier two could see secondary pupils on a part time rota spending two weeks in school and the next two weeks working from home. A more severe response, tier three, would see most secondary pupils stuttering at home with only Vulnerable Children and those of key workers in. Tier four would extend that to primary and other schools, effectively back to the vast majority of children learning remotely like they did at the start of the year. If children are sent home in lockdown it is absolutely vital that the government to make it clear what they are expected to learn, that ofsted and work as candid friends with the schools, and that the computers are provided to those children who dont have them. Communication and coordination will be vital with further interruptions to learning looking likely. Parents need to talk to teachers about, you know, whats happening at home, so that teachers are really clear as to what sort of worries children might be bringing. Its been stressed these are reluctant steps for worst Case Scenarios with every intention to keep children in the classroom. Dan johnson, bbc news. With me now is our political correspondent, ellie price. We have heard the grumbles from those at the sharp end, as it were, but tadic obligation there seems to be confusion as to what the rules say exactly. But to add to a complication. If a pupil came down with covid 19, would that be a bubble, which could be hundreds of people, would they need to isolate . There was then some clarification that it wouldnt be the year group, it would just be those in close contact. The point of that being there was some confusion which the government could have done without on this big announcement. It has been a long summerfor on this big announcement. It has been a long summer for the department for education. Plenty of criticism before the summer break, the fact all children were meant to go back to school and didnt. There was that fiasco, thats what critics called it, about the exam results. Last week there was a row as to whether School Pupils should be wearing face masks in schools. They wa nted wearing face masks in schools. They wanted a clean announcement. They didnt quite get it. But this is an important moment. That moment when children go to School Next Week will bea children go to School Next Week will be a moment in this pandemic, because it is the moment where things get back to a bit of normality. As the Prime Minister said, there is a moral duty to get children back to school to continue with their education. But it also unlocks the economy a bit. The pa rents of unlocks the economy a bit. The parents of those pupils can go back to work and that sort of thing. The significance then of the timing of this is that it is so close to schools opening, schools and leicestershi re schools opening, schools and leicestershire have already opened, so leicestershire have already opened, so they will have to revise whatever they are doing or at least check it is consistent with the guidance. There are so many practical measures and issues thrown up by this, in terms of the Space Available in particular schools, i worry about
whether there will be enough space to have people row to ring off and on. The idea is that the teachers will move around, not the pupils, that will minimise the risks of people breaching the social distancing guidelines. Rotaing on and off. It is fascinating when you walk around these empty schools, the work thats gone into it, one way systems and spacing out of desks. What happens if there is a local lockdown was mentioned after the announcement if there was a covid i9 outbreak. Hopefully most schools wont need to do this. But we are talking about if there is a local lockdown, then the measures which need to be taken from these schools. And the schools remain the priority when it is up against other bits of the economy. In the end, the government is saying, no, sorry, schools will have to come first this time. It has been made clear that schools will remain open. But if it
means closing pubs, restaurants, and shops, that the decision which has been made. The Prime Minister has taken this as a personal project, if you like, that this will happen, schools will go back, there is a moral duty to get children back. There is the educational reason but also political reasons because it shows the government has got a handle on all of this in the best way it possibly can. An illustration that it way it possibly can. An illustration thatitis way it possibly can. An illustration that it is in control rather than the virus is dictating terms. Thank you very much. Travellers arriving into the uk from switzerland, the Czech Republic and jamaica must now quarantine for two weeks, after new rules came into force at aam this morning. The government says the move is needed to keep the uks infection rates down. Meanwhile cuba, where there has been a drop in cases, has been added to the list of destinations people can return from without needing to self isolate. Theres been criticism of the uk governments decision theres been criticism of the uk governments decision to ease regional lockdown restrictions in parts of the north west england. The mayor of greater
manchester, andy burnham, has said decisions on restrictions should not be imposed by central government. And the leader of Trafford Council described the move as premature after his area saw a slight increase in Coronavirus Infection rates in recent days. The Health Secretary matt hancock said he has every faith residents would play their part by following local rules. Cases of coronavirus are rising across many parts of europe. After getting control of the pandemic following the initial wave of infections, spain is now struggling to prevent another increase. Its the first european country to pass a00,000 infections, as our correspondent guy hedgecoe reports from madrid. Aaah a new Testing Campaign run by the local government and aiming to identify asymptomatic carriers of coronavirus gets under way in a clinic in madrid. Many areas of spain, such as catalonia and the basque country, have seen a resurgence of covid i9 this summer. The people waiting to be tested here in the capital are aware that in recent days their city has been more affected than any other. There is a lot of people that are asymptomatic, so we dont know if we are with the virus. Translation i am afraid. I am here with my daughters so they can do the test because they are going back to school. Lam afraid. The lifting of restrictions in late june has meant that in many cases, spaniards have been able to have Something Like a normal summer. Not everyone has followed the guidelines regarding social distancing, and the obligatory use of face masks in public places. This second wave is completely different from the first wave that we had in march and april. It is not reaching that high numbers of cases per day. Many asymptomatic people are being diagnosed because of case tracing, and it is mostly
affecting only young people. With a National Lockdown no longer in place, specific areas where covid i9 has been spreading have been applying their own restrictions. Villamalea, a town with a000 inhabitants on the plains of castilla la mancha, is one such case. In the middle of august the number of coronavirus cases here in villamalea suddenly started to climb. By the time it reached around 100 infections, local authorities decided to reintroduce some of the restrictions we had already been in place across spain earlier this year. Now that has meant telling people they must stay indoors where possible and it has also meant that roads like this one leading in and out of villamalea have been shut down in recent days. Translation we have already had experience of a lockdown, and know that it works. When we have had a lockdown, things
get better, but it is difficult. Earlier this year, spaniards were left reeling by the impact of coronavirus. But as covid i9 looms once again, the hope is that the country is better prepared to face it. Guy hedgecoe, bbc news, central spain. Thousands of people have been marching through the streets of berlin to demonstrate against germanys coronavirus restrictions. At least one person has been arrested after confrontations between protesters and police, though police now say the march has been dispersed. The citys authorities had tried to stop the demonstration taking place amid fears that people would not comply with social distancing measures. These are the images from the brandenburg gate. Their argument is that they have needed to restrict
some of the pressure which is coming from those who want to sign up to every restriction as soon as it is available, arguing a case against that kind of approach. That is part of the purpose of this gathering today. 20,000 people, we are told, in berlin by late morning, and 3000, i think, Police Officers. The Police Officers are attempting to disperse them, which might be a harderjob than one might have expected. We can ta ke than one might have expected.

A relatively quiet first half. But it has come to life in the last few minutes. Manchester city with the pick of the efforts. They have had the ball in the back of the net after a scintillating run from chloe kelly on her Manchester City debut. She should have shot but she passed it. The effort was ruled offside. Manchester city have also hit the woodwork in the last few minutes. Georgia stanway saw her shot parried away by chelsea goalkeeper and captain come into the path of chloe kelly, and she could only put the rebound up against the crossbar. Sam caro hit the side net early on, chelsea havent really got going. Just a few seconds away from half time and it is goalless at the moment. Sam kerr. Half time and it is goalless at the moment. Sam kerr. How important for the womens game is it that it

Police in australia have started beach patrols to enforce coronavirus restrictions,
as lifeguards return to duty at the end of winter. Warm weather in sydney is expected to draw large crowds to the coast. Authorities at bondi and other popular beaches are warning people to stay a towel length apart, and limit gatherings to 20 people. Ive been talking to trent maxwell, a lifeguard in sydney, about how these new measures have impacted his work. Lots of people dont realise that lifeguards in sydney, around the council beaches, we work all year round. So, you know, in a couple of days itll be the first day of spring. The air temperature tomorrow will be 26, 27, so we are expecting big crowds to hit the beaches tomorrow. But, you know, we will be ready for that. We will make sure people are socially distancing. We will be making sure that we will have council workers, local police, lifeguards, just making sure everybody is doing the right thing. Its a challenge, isnt it . We know that when you had the good burst of weather early in the year people did come to the beach, and it was quite hard to persuade some people that the rules applied and the kind of lifestyle theyve enjoyed on the beach was going to have to be adapted to the new realities of this virus. Definitely. Not only in australia but the whole world has suffered from this pandemic. Early in the year, in december, january, february, we had the major bushfires. People were avoiding the beach due to the smoke quality. Come middle of march, coronavirus came about, so people really struggled, you know, to get involved around the beach, especially around sydney. Saying that, councils have been trying their hardest to make sure that they have designated areas for people to swim, designated areas for people to serve. People are socially distancing. Restaurants in places around the beaches and all around sydney are. Using sign in initiativesk
and people will know, particularly australians will know, not least because of what has been happening in victoria state potentially how serious this is. From your point of view, from the job, lots of people may know you from bondi rescue and the work they see you do every day, how different does it make yourjob personally as a lifeguard . Because you have to take some of these considerations for your own safety. Definitely. I am a full time firefighter, as well. When we are doing rescues and first aid, we have to keep our distance. We are still doing ourjobs, but we have masks on. When we are doing rescues we try to keep our distance, as well. It is tough sometimes, but so far so good. We are wearing masks. We are keeping the distance. We are hand sanitising. We are keeping everything clean and tidy, making sure people are doing the right thing. Hats off to people around sydney, everybody seems to be doing the right thing. Today, the numbers are down. Victoria, first time in a few weeks, it is under 100 cases. Hopefully this weekend people keep doing the right thing, and we can keep moving forward. There was a bit of a thrill for a group of children in norway this summer, when they found a message washed up on the beach. Not in a bottle, but in a tiny boat. And it turns out, that the little boat, had been on a big journey. It set sail ten years ago, from the remote scottish island of st kilda. Its a replica of the miniature boats the islanders used to send messages to the mainland. Our scotland correspondent lorna gordon has the story. A Summer Holiday surprise
from islands far across the sea, messages not in a bottle but in a tiny mail boat washed ashore and discovered by children playing on a remote norwegian beach. The kids, as always, were messing around down with the water, and looking for things, and just playing around, and they just stumbled upon this boat. They found it, then totally by coincidence they just dropped it and it opened. What they found inside was a treasure trove of postcards intact after a ten year thousand mile journey from the shores of the remote Scottish Islands of st kilda. The mail boat tradition that stretches back to when the islanders who used to live here had to send messages appealing for help from the mainland. Life on this rocky outcrop in the atlantic was extremely harsh, and the islands last remaining residents voted to leave and were evacuated in 1930. Just imagining that life there. And you can see the abandoned
community, and its all still there to see. The street, the graveyard, the church, the school, just all left when people walked out 90 years ago. Alexander gillies ferguson, here wearing the cap, as a teenager was one of the first to launch a mail boat from st kilda. His story passing down the generations. When he was 1a in about 1885, he sent one of these st kilda mail boats with a message in it saying that the winter storms had damaged their stores and that the people on the island were getting very hungry, if not getting near starvation. It worked. The message reached help and st kilda was resupplied. Their tiny mail boats a unique reminder of a way of life left long ago. Lorna gordon, bbc news. Doesnt that look spectacular . I dont know what the weather holds for st kilda this weekend, but we can takea for st kilda this weekend, but we can take a look at the outlook for the rest of the uk with nick miller.
