Where did the wealth come from . You are british nigerian, yinka, and of course one of the most contested series of objects are the Benin Bronzes found which are to be found in museums across the country, but particularly in the british museum. Is it your view that they should go back to nigeria . Absolutely. I think they should go back. I think they should be sd printed and shown in the british museum, but return the originals. Its a matter of respect and being treated equally. I think that if you steal peoples heritage, then, you know, youre stealing their psychology and you need to return it. Have the nigerians asked for the Benin Bronzes back . They have expressed a desire to have objects that are now in european museums, and in other museums in the world, some of these objects back in benin city. But are you comfortable with the way
they came into the museum, the way they were plundered and looted after a murderous raid . Are you comfortable with that . Do you think thats right . I think the story of objects that have come into the museum is. There are many ways in which objects came into the museum, and some of them to us today seem problematic, and that is part of our complicated history. This is very specifically about a period of time where our anthropology museums were used for the purposes of institutional racism, race science, the display of white supremacy. At this moment in history, it could not be more urgent to remove such icons from our institutions. Im comfortable with them there now, absolutely, because what they do for me, as the descendant of enslaved people, is give me a kind of comfort. It gives me a kind of link. Otherwise, iwould be ignorant. I look at them and i can see myself. I suppose the other issue with this new approach to how cultural objects are shown and displayed is notjust the objects that are there, but the people who are actually in the museum. How many black curators do you have . We dont have black curators, and that is a big issue for us that we feel we need to address. Mostly, unfortunately, in most museums, the place where you will see black staff is amongst cleaning and security staff. You will not see them in curatorial departments and you will not see them in management. Thats wrong. There are plenty of people who are qualified to do that job and i think those are the kind of things that the museums should be looking at. You know, if black lives really mattered, then they will take those issues really seriously. The artist yinka shonibare, talking to will gompertz. Thats it. Now on bbc one, time
for the news where you are. Have a very good night. Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. Hello to viewers in the uk joining those around the world. Its now time for us to take a first look at the national and International Front pages in the papers. Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are claire cohen, womens editor at the Daily Telegraph, and martin bentham, Home Affairs Editor at the evening standard. Welcome editor at the evening standard. To you both. Listen we welcome to you both. Listen to what we already have in. The guardian says borisjohnson will seek to wrap himself in the mantle of one of the most revered american president s in
modern times, franklin d roosevelt, as he attempts to refocus his premiership by promising a new deal for britain in response to the coronavirus crisis. A bounce forward as he describes it. The Daily Telegraph says leicester has become the first city in britain to be plunged back into lockdown after Public Health officials expressed alarm at a significant rise in covid 19 cases. A story thats also reflected in the times, which add several northern towns are also causing alarm to Health Officials in the uk. The Philippine Star reports that president duterte has urged critics to stop politicking while the country is grappling with the pandemic as it disputes a World Health Organisation report that it has the fastest increase in infections in the western pacific. According to the International Edition of the Financial Times reports that Investment Banking fees rocketed to a record 57 billion in the First Six Months of the year, boosted by a series of lucrative debt sales as companies grabbed cash to tide them over during the coronavirus crisis. The Business Standard reports on more tensions between china and india, as india bans 59 chinese mobile apps, including tiktok, citing them to be a security threat. And the International Edition of the New York Times features a campaign in australia to prevent the culling the wild horses known as brumbies. So, lets begin. Welcome to you both again. The Daily Telegraph, leicester put back in lockdown as the virus urges. This is
after nonessential shops were only allowed to open just a few days ago, june the 15th. This is very bad news for the city in fact an interesting why the statement from matt hancock was pushed back so late. It is bad news for the city but also for the government. This is not an alpha they wanted to make and as you said they wanted to make and as you said the already postponed making the announcement wants. And leicesters mayor has been pretty cross and outspoken about that and said he was only told that it was to be made at 1am this morning and he is not terribly pleased about that. It was postponed once but when you have got the figure emerging that sizzling light to percent of all new cases of the virus in the country and three times higher than surrounding towns and cities, you cannot avoid taking and cities, you cannot avoid taking a decision like this even when shops that have only been open sincejune the 15th and when the rest of the
country is obviously preparing to start reopening the Hospitality Industry this coming saturday, that in itself will pose a real test for the government and their coronavirus policy when leicesters residents are looking at the rest of the uk and pubs and theme parks and so on are starting to reopen and they are told to stay at home. Whether it will hold, we will see. You wonder whether they might have to have an increase in Police Presence on the streets which is obviously something that was criticised more widely and they are criticising him for being heavy handed at the start of the water lockdown. So meant to be very interesting and very difficult i suspect is certainly something the government did not want to see but you mentioned before the times suggesting there other northern towns that are also being looked at and it might not be the last headline we see on this. Martin, i dont know if you heard the mayor there, on the Programme Today at about 7am this morning, he was
furious about this. And painted a picture of pretty shambolic sort of information gathering from the department of health and indeed government officials. He was not sure how this would be enforced. And secondly i suppose the other point is that the infection rise has happened whilst the restrictions we re happened whilst the restrictions were on and before the relaxation of the lockdown. The infections generated a couple of weeks before they start to show up in the figures. So it is not clear that even extending or certainly to what they had on june even extending or certainly to what they had onjune the 15th and moving backwards, the infections we are seeing now appear to have started when those restrictions were already in place. So it is also not clear how this. One of the points he was making. His logic was interesting in a bit like President Trump say perhaps we have a higher rate here because we have had more testing. And of course. That is also possible. Not the quite the same comparison of course but clearly on the other hand if there is a problem and theyre destined to be a problem they are, theyre destined to be a certificate prevalence of new cases happening there, that i suppose the question is how do you try to control those and certainly relaxing the situation more does not seem likely to help. Sol the situation more does not seem likely to help. So i suppose im not one of view with the government is trying to do makes sense for, whether it actually has the effects required and how it is achieved, it ultimately will require as all of the lockdown measures have required a lot of public cooperation because the Police Actually cannot really e nforce the Police Actually cannot really enforce it very effectively. Not just leicester but surrounding areas as well. So if you put some sort of cordon around that which i believe the police would not have the capacity to do, this will rely on the public to actually follow. Should we move on . Because boris
johnson, looking at the guardian, first churchill and now roosevelt and johnson promises uk new deal. What do you make of this . Some would say we are not in a similar situation to where roosevelt was 90 yea rs situation to where roosevelt was 90 years ago, it is a very different world. And a very different issue. It isa world. And a very different issue. It is a different world. I think first of all comparing yourself to a previous president or prime minister, a great politician is a lwa ys minister, a great politician is always a dangerous game to play because youre setting yourself up for comparisons all the way through. And more often than not, failure. But it is a very different world than i think the point also is it is a very different world to the one that Boris Johnson a very different world to the one that borisjohnson was elected into at the end of last year. People will look at these headlines and thinking he is referring to a new deal but actually this is just sort of the old deal repackaged. The new story points out that there is no new money being put forward here. And really a lot of it is just a
ma nifesto really a lot of it is just a manifesto pledges the government won the election on a few months ago but the election on a few months ago but the point being that everything has changed since then. And the voters in the so called red wall who lent their vote for the first time in their vote for the first time in their lives in many cases will be looking at this and thinking we have been very hard hit by the virus. The gap arguably is even wider certainly in many former industrial towns. In actually this leveling up which was going to be hard enough as it was is going to be hard enough as it was is going to be even harder now and what we need is new policies to help us bounce back and not the old ones repackaged as a new deal. Bounce back and not the old ones repackaged as a new dealm bounce back and not the old ones repackaged as a new deal. It will get more details in the speech tomorrow evening uk time but is it your view from what we know so far is more spin than substance . Possibly. Although it is not so that they are new policies because they have not yet given what was promised in the election and the investment
in infrastructure and Capital Spending if so what has not been delivered yet because he has not been that long since election and we have been rather overtaken since in those things take time to bring to fruition anyway. So i think it actually is of course is claire just said trying to deliver what has already been promised in a sense but at the same time that has not yet been delivered. The question i would have actually is not so much about that but more about the fact that these projects to take time so spending money on big efforts or projects like hsz, new schools or hospitals, that cannot happen instantly. It is not happen instantly. It is not happen instantly and it takes time and planning and so on have a faster try to get it going. And the problem at the moment is people losing their jobs here and now. Finding ways to try and regenerate the economy and keep money in the economy at this precise moment. The schools, 5 billion is a drop in the ocean compared to what schools are already saying they need around the country in terms ofjust repairs to stop
leaking windows and roofs. In terms ofjust repairs to stop leaking windows and roofsm in terms ofjust repairs to stop leaking windows and roofs. It is but if you get on with those you are generating some employment but again clearly quite a bit of that take some time to bring to fruition. It will not happen and you cannot repairand rebuild the will not happen and you cannot repair and rebuild the whole school ina few repair and rebuild the whole school in a few weeks. So some immediate needis in a few weeks. So some immediate need is right here and now for some people losing theirjobs they in and day out almost. People will be losing theirjobs as the furlough period comes to an end and some of the supply side help needs to be much more immediate rather than Capital Infrastructure which will have a longer term benefit of course. And down the street came to say it not a relaunch because the polling has been banned but perhaps a reset whatever that might mean. The picture below, class reunion delights schools as they in wales open their doors. We now hearfrom the secretary of education for england everyone has to go back in september but a bit more information
about this. Your group bubbles for pupils in england and basically create keep your groups separate. It is going to be a headache for teachers and head teachers. It is going to be a headache for teachers and head teachersm certainly is going to be a headache. We have the government so yesterday that many parents who do not send their children at the school in september will be fined so they were under pressure to release detail that would make it seem perhaps more attractive for parents to send their children back in september. But these bubbles are incredibly difficult to maintain. Classroom bubbles will be hard enough. Now we are hearing about macro to bubbles. Is some year groups we are hearing about macro to bubbles. Is some year groups we are are hearing about macro to bubbles. Is some year groups we are talking about 200 students so are we to assume the situation then is one student in that Year Group Bubble is u nwell student in that Year Group Bubble is unwell the rest of them, 200 odd students, have to go home and isolate or quarantine as well . That poses a lot of questions, not least the day to day
