Good afternoon, welcome to the bbc news at one. As the coronavirus lockdown begins to ease, the nations of the uk are facing different restrictions. In england, up to six people will be allowed to meet outdoors from monday, including in peoples gardens, as long as people from different households stay two metres apart. In scotland, some restrictions are relaxed from today, meaning one household can meet with one other, to a maximum of eight people again, as long as that is outside, and distancing rules are maintained. And some Outdoor Sports can resume, including golf, tennis, bowls and fishing. The Welsh Government is changing its message from stay at home to stay local. From monday, people from two different households will be able to gather outside, with no restriction on the numbers attending. In northern ireland, weddings may be allowed from 8thjune, as long as theyre outdoors and no more than 10 people are present. Large retailers, such as car showrooms and shops in retail parks, will also be allowed to reopen. Our first report is from our correspondent james shaw on todays changes to the rules in scotland. Small steps which will nevertheless feel like a big difference from the lockdown which scotland has been underfor the last lockdown which scotland has been under for the last ten weeks. There is, for some, is what a small amount of freedom looks like. For others, it will be different, but for all, a chance to enjoy activities which havent been possible since march. Here in the south of glasgow, players were delighted to be able to get out on the courts again. The ability to do a bit of sport, to see ability to do a bit of sport, to see a few familiar faces, it feels great. Obviously, aided by the weather, the weather has been nice today. It feels a bit surreal still because this is basically the first day back. Its such a great feeling. It does bring positivity and you can see some light at the end of the tunnel now. It just see some light at the end of the tunnel now. Itjust feels really good to be able to do Something Different because weve just been going on walks and weve not been able to do anything else. Is it nice to be outside and play tennis . Yes. Preparing for the new sanitised and socially distance to reality has not been straightforward. Nobody thinks this is easy. Nobody would want the government because myjob but it is the case there are people out there trying their best to be covid compliant, if you like. Weve tried to show what can be done on a tight and restricted budget and really its a reference facility now for all other spots to come down and see what is possible. The most important change for many will be the chance to meet family and friends outdoors. But, only two households should meet at any one time. Groups must be no bigger than eight people. They should not share food or cutlery and they cannot go into each others houses. The Scottish Government because my big worry is that the good weather might tempt people to do things which could allow a resurgence of the virus. But many will be feeling the need for a return to normal. Youre missing yourfamily, missing return to normal. Youre missing your family, missing your friends. It needs. We need to be careful, we need to move forward but we need to get back to some sort of new normal. Its not going to be the same, its not going to be brand new oi same, its not going to be brand new or the way it was but we will adapt, we will get through and we will get back to enjoying life. Progress with phase one of easing the lockdown will be reviewed in three weeks. Between caution and confidence, scotla nd between caution and confidence, scotland is trying to feel its way out of the coronavirus crisis. James shaw, bbc news, glasgow. People in england will have to wait until after the weekend before they can gather in parks and gardens, in groups of no more than six. But the chief scientific adviser is urging people to stick to social distancing guidelines, as restrictions are eased. Anna collinson reports. A party in the garden with friends, maybe even a barbecue. It may feel like a distant memory but soon, but many in england, it can be a reality. The government says from monday, friends and families can meet ina monday, friends and families can meet in a group of six or less including private gardens. But there are concerns. At these things, you can get the virus from touching something. Its a bit scary. Still have to be very careful. Something. Its a bit scary. Still have to be very carefullj something. Its a bit scary. Still have to be very careful. I think its a bit difficult for people that are in relationships. Restrictions may be being eased but strict rules are still in place. People are advised to wash their hands regularly. Overnight stays are in no but if you really need to come you can use another houses toilet, as long as you clean anything you touch. Groups of people will also need to keep two metres apart at all times. We know the risk of transmission outdoors is actually very low but obviously if you have lots of people in your garden, if you have two families of six crowded and, thats more difficult to maintain social distancing. So we think sex is a sensible number. Any easing of the lockdown increases the chances of a second spike in covid i9. They are number measures the average number of people one person passes the virus on to. Its currently between 0. 7 and 0. 9. If it goes above one, it means numbers with the virus are increasing. Sign to say we are in a fragile position. If you afford more opportunities to an Infectious Disease to spread, then you will get more cases. So one should not pretend that this lockdown de escalation, which is what this is, its changing the process of the lockdown. At this isnt going to translate into more cases. It definitely will. The key question is how many more cases . At the start of lockdown, nearly 2 Million People with serious medical conditions were told to stay indoors for at least 12 weeks. Mondays easing may liberate many but for the extremely vulnerable, nothing changes. Sophie hughes has severe asthma and has been told she will need to shield until the end of june. I havent left the house, i cant go for a walk. I dont have a garden, unfortunately. So as much as this beautiful weather is great and people can go in the park, i think its really important that they are reminded that there are people that cant do that still. Weather a sunny weekend to get through before the new relaxed measures get in, its thought sticking to the current rules will be tough. To be honest, the thing about meeting people from six houses, its two extremes. There are people being freaky about not meeting anybody on other people not caring anyway. Anna collinson, bbc news. From monday in wales, two different households will be able to meet outdoors. But people are being urged to stay local, within about five miles of their home, which some have complained is unfair on people who live in rural areas. From cardiff, tomos morgan reports. Inaudible ido inaudible i do apologise. We clearly seem to have a problem with that report from cardiff. I wonder if we might be able to go back to that as we look at the difference in the restrictions in the easing of lockdown, depending where you live in the uk. I wonder if you can see now the picture in wales. Our correspondent tomos morgan in cardiff has been taking a look at the changes that will come in there next week. After both scotland and england announced an easing on their restrictions, allowing people to meet up from different households, today, it was the Welsh Governments turn. From next monday, people from two different households in the same local area will be able to meet up, so local area will be able to meet up, so long as they are outdoors and they maintain strict to meet a social distancing and hand hygiene. Crucially, the difference in wales is that people must meet others that live within a five mile radius of them. In the welsh capital, that change may be welcome but for those with families further afield, its disappointing. We havent seen our grandchildren now, only on zoom or face or messenger, the three months. Its the longest weve gone without seeing our own children and grandchildren. So its heartbreaking, really. |j grandchildren. So its heartbreaking, really. Ithink weve really, really had enough. The time of quarantine. I think its time to me. | of quarantine. I think its time to me. I miss my daughter, for example. I havent seen my daughter for three weeks. Im happy. The Welsh Government say making one change one step at a time is the best way to see the impact any change has on the virus spreading. And that decision, they say, is based on World Health Organization advice. But today its briefing also had a nod to nonessential Retail Businesses opening after the next review. I want also to send an early signal to retailers of shops which have been closed over the last few months to use the next three weeks to begin the process of preparing to reopen. But for businesses like this coffee shop in cardiff bay, who have already had to make significant in the way they adjustments work, the different approaches from each home nation to the economy has been frustrating. Three weeks behind england is disappointing. Increase childcare capacity, public transport and a return of elite sport will be examined by the Welsh Government next time. But for the majority, just a stroll outside with friends orfamily in the sun just a stroll outside with friends or family in the sun will be welcome for now. Tomos morgan, bbc news, cardiff. Our medical correspondent fergus walsh is with me now. It is striking all of this because we talk about the science is something monolithic but depending where you live in the uk now, over the next few days, things are slightly different . They are and it is where the science meets the politics. Because broadly, actually, all of these lifting of measures are broadly similar. But say in wales, you have no restriction on two households. You could have two big households. You could have two big household of eight each, that could be 16 people. Thats from monday. In the uk, is that more risky than six people in england . You cant use the toilet of somebody you go and visit it in scotland, you have to go home but you can stay local. But you can walk through their house to get to the garden as long as you dont touch anything. In england, the chief medical officer says you can definitely use the toilet but you have to thoroughly clean it afterwards. So there is a lot of variation. I think the phrase common sense should come into this. The police have said they are not going to be clamping down, only where people really are flagrantly breaching base. Yes, all right, thank you very much. As we go into the weekend fergus walsh, our medical correspondent. The chancellor is expected to set out plans later today for employers to share the cost of paying more than eight million workers who are furloughed because of the pandemic. Its thought rishi sunak will tell firms theyll have to start contributing around 20 of staff wages. Heres our Business Correspondent emma simpson. Alex runs a small basement bar. Its just him and one other member of staff doing bottles of cocktails online. Its other three workers are furloughed and hes now worried about what the chancellor is about to serve up. The scheme has been incredibly welcome as a lifeline to the sector. With revenues still next to zero and a growing sense bases like this might not be able to open again this year, any changes in that could be cataclysmic. If the 80 is reduced, businesses like mine would either run out of cash very quickly or be forced to lay off furloughed staff. The scheme was launched in april and currently pays 80 of workers wagers come up to a maximum of £2500 per worker. Originally, workers wagers come up to a maximum of £2500 perworker. Originally, it was set to run until the end of june. Figures this week show that 8. 4 million workers are now covered by the scheme. The total cost could be £80 billion now the scheme is being extended, but employers, it seems, will have to share some of the costs. For some employers, that wont be too much of a problem, being able to pay a small fraction, 20 of wages, in order to keep their employees on the books. But for other employers, even a 20 towards wages might be really quite difficult. So we may find that in some sectors, quite a lot of people are losing theirjobs and in others, they are being kept on. And what about the millions of self employed workers . Will their support scheme be extended . Workers . Will their support scheme be extended . Rebecca workers . Will their support scheme be extended . Rebecca is a childminder and runs an early years training business. She says the grant has been a huge help. Training business. She says the grant has been a huge helpm training business. She says the grant has been a huge help. If there is no more self employment grant, obviously we will have two consider considerable savings within the household and cuts we can make. Things like looking at our shopping bill, utility bills, and, so, its quite a difficult situation to be faced with. How best to gradually remove all this Emergency Support for businesses and their workers without inflicting massive job losses these schemes were brought in to prevent. Its a difficult balancing act for the chancellor, who will reveal his plans later today. Emma simpson, bbc news. Our top story this lunchtime the coronavirus lockdown begins to ease across the uk, but different nations face different restrictions. And coming up more details about the restart of the english football league. It is confirmed the fa cup will return in four weeks with the final in august. A Police Station has been set on fire in the us city of minneapolis, and tear gas and rubber bullets have been fired, as people protested for a third night about the death of an unarmed black man, george floyd, at the hands of the police. President trump has said the protestors are dishonouring the memory of mr floyd. There have also been demonstrations in a number of other us cities, including new york and chicago. This report from david willis contains some distressing images. Minneapolis burned again last night. Protesters clashing with police for the third night in a row. We got gunshots, we got gunshots, guys. Officers fired tear gas but couldnt prevent another night of arson, looting and rioting. All of which culminated in the citys main Police Station being set ablaze. Earlier, the state governor announced he was activating the National Guard after declaring the time had come not only to rebuild the city but the fractious relationship between its people and the police. We need to make sure that. We need to make sure that people are looking out for our city right now. Its notjust enough to do the right thing yourself. We need to be making sure that all of us are held accountable to make sure that were holding up the highest ideals that we stand by. George floyd died after being handcuffed and pinned to the ground by a white Police Officer who put his knee on mr floyds neck and held it there, as he pleaded for air. As the minutes pass, he stops speaking. Then he stops moving. The four officers involved in the arrest have since been sacked but there are growing calls for them to face criminal charges. The longer officials delay pressing charges, the more the anger here seems to grow. Earlier, in an ultimately futile attempt to defuse the tension, the local police chief issued a public apology. I know that there is currently a deficit of hope in our city, and as i wear this uniform before you, i know that this department has contributed to that deficit of hope but i will not allow to continue to increase that deficit by re traumatising those folks in our community. Protests over George Floyds death have now spread to other american cities, putting Race Relations firmly on the political agenda. But as this countrys racial fault lines are laid bare once again, the sight of minneapolis burning serves as a stark reflection of a community now at boiling point. David willis, bbc news, los angeles. Cbs correspondent jeff pegues is in minneapolis now. Considerably quieter behind you right now, but some extraordinary scenes. Bring us right up to date with what has been happening. Yeah, it is quieter here. We have this loud and robust Law Enforcement presence. We have state Law Enforcement here and local Law Enforcement here and local Law Enforcement down there, we are in the background you can still see billowing smoke. There has been dozens billowing smoke. There has been d oze ns of billowing smoke. There has been dozens of fires set overnight and some of them obviously as you can see are still burning even at this hour, and beyond this line of Law Enforcement, there is a National Guard here. You can probably see their vehicles in the distance. They have been brought in by the government, about 500 members of the National Guard, all to help calm the situation here, and at this hour it looks as if it has worked so far. And we have also seen a reporter arrested while he made it quite clear he was live on air. Thats right. And that is part of some of the tension here. As a Law Enforcement has moved into clear the crowds, they have also swept up some of the reporters. Typically, we are granted access to scenes like this, but in this case the cnn crew was taken into but in this case the cnn crew was ta ken into custody but in this case the cnn crew was taken into custody and in fact they aimed clear gas taken into custody and in fact they aimed cleargas in taken into custody and in fact they aimed clear gas in our direction, so it has been a dangerous situation here this morning, but it has c
