Hello and welcome. The eu and the us have strongly condemned belarus for forcing a plane to land and then arresting an Opposition Activist. The Ryanair Flight was diverted to minsk and Roman Protosevich was then detained by the authorities. The president of the European Commission Ursula Von Der Leyen said the outrageous and illegal behaviour of the regime in belarus will have consequences. Those responsible for the Ryanair Hijacking must be sanctioned. Journalist Roman Protasevich must be released immediately. Heres our diplo corrjames landale. Heres our diplomatic correspondent james landale. This is not where Flight Fr4978 was supposed to be, on the ground at minsk airport. The Ryanair Flight with about 170 people on board left athens this morning bound for vilnius. Butjust before the aircraft entered lithuanian airspace, it suddenly headed east. According to ryanair, the crew were warned of a potential Security Threat and ordered to land at minsk. For good measure, a belarusian warplane armed to the teeth was dispatched to escort the aircraft in. But no bombs were found on board. Instead, this man was taken off the plane and arrested. Roman protasevich is a well known belarusian Opposition Journalist and is wanted by the authorities for organising protests last year. According to the Belarus State News agency, the operation was ordered personally by the countrys authoritarian president alexander lukashenko, who has faced growing opposition since disputed elections last year. Belarus� s exiled Opposition Leader said mr Protasevichs Life was in danger. Translation today, lukashenko personally caused an international scandal, using Military Aircraft against civilians in belarus and European Countries to arrest a single person No One else is safe. Anyone can be in Roman Protasevichs place. After several hours on the ground, the plane and remaining passengers were allowed to leave and arrived this evening in vilnius, as Outrage Spread across europe, with several countries accusing belarus of an act of state terrorism. In a tweet, the foreign secretary Dominic Raab said he was coordinating with allies and warned this outlandish action by lukashenko have serious implications. At vilnius airport, supporters of Roman Protasevich waited in vain for his arrival as they contemplated just how far president lukashenko will go to suppress opposition.

The death triggered protests against Racism And Police violence across america and around the world. In the first of several events, members of mr Floyds Family joined activists and citizens of Minneapolis On Sunday to begin marking the anniversary. Barbara Plett Usher reports. The killing of George Floyd was such a pivotal moment for Race Relations in the country and for the city. Its taking stock now of a year full of Grief And Anger and passionate debate about what to do with Policing And Police reform. So this is a time to take stock, to mobilise for the future, and to pay tribute. I will stand and be The Voice for him. The change for him. I will stand and continue to be the legacy for him. There was that crucial moment of accountability about a month ago when the former Police Officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of murder. It felt then as if the city heaved a collective sigh of relief. But polls show that a majority of americans believe racial Justice And Policing issues have only improved marginally since this time last year. And in washington, a bill on Police Reform named after George Floyd is stuck in congress. It was historic. To see a white Police Officer for the first time be convicted for killing a black man. That is nothing to brag about that is something thats shameful it shouldnt have took to 2021 to see a man like chauvin get convicted. But it will go again and again and again acquittals unless we can get further along, cos already they are changing police laws and Voting Laws in states all over this country. President biden has pushed to get the Police Reform legislation passed by the anniversary, but that now is a promise delayed. He has invited the Floyd Family to the White House on tuesday as a way to signal that he wants to make this a priority. Barbara Plett Usher, Bbc News, minneapolis.

Dogs are adorable and loyal, but they are also very clever, and find new ways to amaze us. We already know they can sniff out drugs, weapons, and even certain cancers. Now theyve been trained to detect coronavirus too as our Health Correspondent Dominic Hughes explains. This is talla. In less than five seconds, hes correctly identified a small unwashed fragment of sock thats been donated by someone who had covid 19. And this is asher who doesnt take that much longer. All these dogs have been specially trained to identify what researchers have found to be covids distinctive odour. The dogs were able to be trained. You can hear one barking in the background there. The dogs were able to be trained really quickly on this order and were able to distinguish people who were infected from those who were uninfected. So the best dog was able to detect somebody correctly that had covid 94 of the time, which is really, really high and very exciting. Research has already moved on to testing whether the dogs can identify the person wearing a T Shirt that belonged to someone who had covid. Watch how this dog immediately finds the right person. Even as people file past, theres no fooling in these dogs with their incredible sense of smell. Which dog have we got with you today . This is talla. A dog like talla here would have 350 Million sensory receptors dedicated to olfaction. Now, us humans have got Five Million so that gives you a comparison. Talla can detect odours that are diluted down to parts per trillion. Doesnt mean much to us, but actually a part of a trillion if you could smell a teaspoon of sugar in a cup of tea, talla here could smell the same in the equivalent of water of two 0lympic sized Swimming Pools quite phenomenal, and thats why theyre so good at this. Dogs are already used at airports to detect explosives or drugs.

Dominic hughes, Bbc News. Thats it for the moment, the Business News in a few minutes. See you soon. Hello there. The Weather Charts are pointing towards something a little drier, more settled toward The End of the week at long last because it has been a very wet may for virtually all parts of the uk. But some areas have had nearly 300 of their average may rainfall. And this week is starting on an unsettled note. The rain moving through on sunday, and showers following for the day ahead. This is the area of low pressure that brought that intense rain and strong winds for a time. It has actually become stuck or slow moving across the north of scotland. That will be with us through monday. We can see clearing in Eastern Areas by dawn, but showers do follow, but under the Clearing Skies i think the morning could start on a chilly note, perhaps A Touch Of Frost in rural parts of Northern Ireland and a bright start. A little bit of mist around and that clears. And then sunshine prevails for a time but already the showers in the west are developing more widely, our rain circulating, our area of low pressure moving to the Northern Isles after a dry start here and after the fine start in Northern Ireland, chilly albeit, The Rain arrives in the afternoon. Now, the showers will end up being slow moving, some torrential downpour with hail and thunder, but the sunshine in between lifts the temperature to 14 or 15. Those showers and thunderstorms continue to go through the evening, only easing slowly overnight, Tomorrow Night not as chilly and some respite potentially in western areas later but really we have bands of cloudy, showery weather for tuesday, heavy showers particularly in scotland and central and eastern england. We may have something a little wetter as well for the southwest on tuesday. In between there may be fewer showers but they will still be intense when they come along. Light winds, strong sunshine, building some really big thunderstorms potentially with hail. Come wednesday, just the hint things are starting to settle down. We still have Weather Fronts around but they do look a little bit weaker. A few heavy showers following in behind, not certainly a dry picture but probably fewer of those intense downpours and therefore temperatures will creep up 16, 17 in the sunshine. Thats because we have that little ridge of high Pressure Potentiallyjust keeping these Weather Fronts at bay, or even if they do come in later in the week, they are likely to be weaker. That is, they will not give as much rainfall as we have seen of late in may. Just the signs things are starting to settle a little later in the week and perhaps a little warmer too by then.
