Reading white lives matter burnley was flown over the Etihad Stadium during last nights match against Manchester City. True gentlemen the three men stabbed to death in a reading park are remembered by at a vigil. Good morning. Today the heat starts to build, notjust by day but also by night, especially across england and wales, briefly across scotland, and wales, briefly across scotland, and Northern Ireland, you may well miss out on this miniature heatwave. But i will have all the details at 6 27am. Its tuesday, 23rd june. Our top story trips to cinemas, restaurants and pubs could soon be possible again in england as part of the governments easing of the lockdown for the leisure industry. Borisjohnson is expected to announce that the two metre social distancing requirement will be reduced to allow venues to reopen next month. There are currently no plans for similar changes in scotland and wales, while in Northern Ireland the distance has already been cut for schoolchildren. Our Political Correspondent iain watson reports. Boris iain watson reports. Johnson is set to announce that borisjohnson is set to announce that two will become one. The guidance to stay two metres apart where possible is likely to be halved. In england. Borisjohnson will brief the cabinet on the results of a rapid review entity to meet metre guidance, and is expected to tell them it will change by the fourth ofjuly, to tell them it will change by the fourth of july, the to tell them it will change by the fourth ofjuly, the day that further restrictions will be eased. The Prime Minister has been under pressure from the Hospitality Industry and many of his own mps to change the social distancing rules amid fears that some businesses would otherwise be unviable. So from early next month, england will feel very different. Pubs and restaurants reopening, along with cinemas, galleries and museums, and if youre planning a steak asian, well, hotels and bed and breakfasts will be able to put up our vacancy sign. Staycation. But businesses and Entertainment Venues will only be allowed to open if they are covid secure. So as we see in supermarkets now, in some settings they could screens if you are likely to come close to staff. You will probably have to follow i way systems, and some buildings will also have to improve ventilation. And we will have to learn from continental countries, which have already relaxed their rules. We may have to get more used to Table Service when we go out for a drink. Hairdressers and barbers may also be allowed to open next month, but dont expect to close a shave. When borisjohnson addresses mps in the house of commons this afternoon, he will make it very clear that if businesses and the rest of us dont follow the new social distancing guidelines, then the easing of restrictions may be reversed. Everything will not suddenly go back to normal injuly. But we may find out what the new normal feels like. Large but we may find out what the new normalfeels like. Large parts but we may find out what the new normal feels like. Large parts of the economy will come to life. But not quite as we once knew it. The guidance for Vulnerable People shielding in england will also be relaxed from next month. Were joined now by our Political Correspondent Jonathan Blake from westminster. Jonathan, whats been the reaction to this . There is quite a lot which could change from today . Absolutely. I think these changes, which we are expecting the Prime Minister to announce in the house of commons later on will be the biggest shift since the lockdown began, and as ian was outlining in his report there, things in england will start to feel if not quite back to normal, then something approaching that. Big sectors of the economy, which have been shut down for three months or so now will be able and encouraged to open up, and if you look at the numbers, it is understandable to see why politicians think that they can ta ke why politicians think that they can take these decisions now, because the number of confirmed new cases on sunday was fewer than 1000 for the First Time Since lockdown began. A number of people in hospital with covid 19 is just under 5000 number of people in hospital with covid 19 isjust under 5000 now. And they were just 15 deaths sadly reported on sunday, which is the lowest since the middle of march. There were. But those numbers tell a story, partly as a result of people following the social distancing guidelines and the fact that so much of the country has been shut down for so long, as politicians take the steps to open up again, and the significant changes we are going to see in the next couple of weeks, so the risk rises but if people dont stick to the rules, all with this relaxation now coming in, the numbers could go up again. So scientists will be keeping a very close eye on that. And there is some nervousness that this is perhaps too much, too soon, from some scientist, who are saying that the test and Trace Programme that is so crucial to keeping the virus under control now is not quite ready and compared to other European Countries the number of cases in the uk, still relatively high. Thank you very much. And we will be discussing these changes with the Northern Ireland secretary, Brandon Lewis, around 7 30am. Germanys rate of infection has nearly tripled in three days, triggering concerns about a possible second wave of coronavirus cases. An outbreak of covid 19 at a meat plant has helped to push up the r number, the measure of how fast the virus is spreading, to 2. 8. A number below 1. 0 is seen as necessary to contain the spread of the disease. Burnley Football Club says it will ban any fans found to be behind the flying of a banner saying white lives matter burnley during its match at Manchester City last night. The message was towed by an aircraft moments after the players had knelt in support of the black lives Matter Movement. Sally, what has the reaction been . It isa it is a lot of reaction, right across the sport to what happened last night . Yeah, a huge amount of reaction over the last few hours. Good morning, everyone. Yes, anyone who has been inside a premier League Stadium over the last few days when a much has been played has described the moment when the players take the knee as almost breathtaking, you know. You can hear a pin drop. It is a real moment before the game starts. And it was at that moment last night as the players were taking a knee, they became aware of a noise, they could hear a plane noise, and then they saw this plane flying the banner overhead. I know that several of the players spoke to the referee, but the match went ahead. The play did stop for a moment or two. The match went ahead, and burnley were beaten 5 0 by Manchester City last night. Well, shortly after the game, the burnley captain, ben mee, came and spoke to the press. He was asked a question about football, but he was livid about football, but he was livid about what had happened. Here is what he said to radio 5 live. About what had happened. Here is what he said to radio 5 livelj about what had happened. Here is what he said to radio 5 live. I am sure it made a big impact on our players. We, as a group of players, condemn it. We are ashamed, we are embarrassed. Completely misses the point of what we are trying to achieve as, you know, as a football community, as a group, the players. Yeah. And as a group of players, we are really ashamed and, you know, it isa are really ashamed and, you know, it is a minority of our supporters, i know i speak for the main part of our supporters but absolutely, you know, distance ourselves from any sort of thing like that. It is a real shame to see on it and i reckon it definitely had an impact on us. Really interesting to see ben mee admitted that actually, that impacted the players themselves during the game. I really strongly worded statement from burnley football clu b worded statement from burnley Football Club last night, saying they strongly condemned the actions. They say we wish to make it clear that those responsible are not welcome at turf moor. We apologise unreservedly to the premier league, to Manchester City and to all of those helping to promote black lives matter. So that you have that image of that plane flying over the 80 had last night, saying white lives matter and the word burnley. A really strong response from the club. Sally, thank you. I know you will be speaking to a number of people about that issue this morning. And if you want to get in touch with us about that, please do. Police in washington have used pepper spray against protestors trying to tear down a statue of the former president andrew jackson. A wave of nationwide demonstrations calling for racialjustice has swept the United States since the death of george floyd last month. 0ur correspondent peter bowes is in los angeles. Peter, how have people been reacting to these latest protests . Peter, thank you for spending a bit of time on a Summer Programme this morning. Give us the very latest on these protests. What is happening . Yeah, good morning. This is the latest protest, as you say, and the latest protest, as you say, and the latest attempt to destroy the statue ofa latest attempt to destroy the statue of a historicalfigure latest attempt to destroy the statue of a historical figure linked to americas racist past. This was sandra jackson, the seventh us president , he was in the white house from 1829 to 1837. Andrew jackson. He was a populist president , he was a very divisive president , he was a very divisive president , and sometimes his style is likened to the style of president trump. He was a man who, during his lifetime, owned more than 500 slaves, and was much criticised by native american activists because he passed into law a measure that saw a lot of peace people forced off their land by the us government. We had a group of protesters in washington trying to bring down his bronze statue, mounted on a horse. They managed to get ropes around the statue but didnt manage to bring it down. The police moved in, they were firing pepper spray and eventually managed to move the crowd back stop and of course these scenes are very reminiscent of the kind of scenes we saw a few weeks ago, at the height of the protest, after the killing of george floyd. President trump has been tweeting about this in the last few hours. He referred to a number of people being arrested in washington, dc for what he described as the disgraceful vandalism of the magnificent statue of andrew jackson, and he said those responsible could face ten years in prison. Peter, thank you very much. That was peter bowes, speaking to us from los angeles this morning. Tributes have been paid to three men who were stabbed to death in a park in reading on saturday, as Police Continue to question a suspect. A vigil was held last night for friends james furlong, Joe Ritchie Bennett and david wails at a local pub. 25 year old Khairi Saadallah was arrested under the terrorism act on saturday. John mcmanus is in reading now. It was a really emotional moment, this vigil last night . It was indeed. Good morning from reading. We have been hearing more about the three that is of this attack, as you say. And those very warm tribute is being paid to them by their friends, family and the community here as well. The third victim to named, late yesterday, was david wells. A friend of his told the bbc he was somebody very chatty, somebody who enjoyed banter in the pub. David wails. He always had a smile on his face and he liked to make other people happy as well. The american victim of the attack, Joe Ritchie Bennett, had moved to the uk from philadelphia 15 years ago. He worked for a Pharmaceutical Company here in the town. His brother, who is still in the United States, described how they used to play on bikes together as a child, and said his family was absolutely heartbroken and that his brother did not deserve to go like this. The third victim, of course, 36 year old james furlong, he was educated in liverpool but worked as a head of history at a school in wokingham, not far from history at a school in wokingham, not farfrom here. The history at a school in wokingham, not far from here. The school has said he was a kind gentleman, and the students called him deeply loved and valued. And as well as those tributes, regulars at the local pub yesterday not far from here came together to remember the three men with speeches and music. All of them drank there and it is pretty clear these killings have deeply affected all of the community. I have been walking through town myself, and everyone hasjust walking through town myself, and everyone has just not walking through town myself, and everyone hasjust not looked happy. Which shows how hard it has set everyone. Even if you dont know the victims, it is still hard to know that someone from your town has been killed. And it isjust grief for everyone , because we killed. And it isjust grief for everyone, because we are a tightknit community. Well, the investigation here continues and the police have been given more time, until saturday, to question the suspect, hurry somebody Khairi Saadallah, and they are not looking for anybody else in connection with this attack, but they are keeping an open mind about the motive. John, thank you. An opera house in barcelona has put on its first concert since the coronavirus outbreak, but it wasnt your typical performance. The audience was made up of more than 2,000 pot plants, which were then given to Frontline Health workers. The concert took place a day after spains state of emergency came to an end after more than three months. They look lovely, dont they, down . Yes. They do look lovely. What an extraordinary thing |j yes. They do look lovely. What an extraordinary thing i mean, yeah. That is bizarre, isnt it . Im trying to think of a plant based pun. You will have to sell save it for later. Send them in. I am sure you have got some good ones. It for later. Send them in. I am sure you have got some good onesm is early for it. It is very early for a is early for it. It is very early fora pun at is early for it. It is very early for a pun at 6 15am. Its more than three months since the hospitality trade was asked to close its doors to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Today, the Prime Minister is expected to announce that they can reopen early next month. But how will pubs be keeping their staff and customers safe . 0ur Consumer Affairs correspondent sarah corker has been finding out. Coming out of hibernation takes a lot of planning and at the with the arms in malin, this man is trying to figure out how much stock you will need. He is planning to open on the fourth ofjuly need. He is planning to open on the fourth of july if need. He is planning to open on the fourth ofjuly if the two metre rule is halved. If it stays in place, it wont be profitable for us to open. We probably wouldnt even break even. 0pening we probably wouldnt even break even. Opening up our capacity isnt that good in any sense was that the uk beerand pub that good in any sense was that the uk beer and pub industry is worth £23 billion, lee says his small chain of four pubs in lancashire is in some ways ahead of the curve. Instead of going to the bar, customers have been encouraged to use apps to order their drinks. All you need is a phone, you tell it which table you are at, what you wa nt which table you are at, what you want and then you pay for it. And the order is then passed to the team. The government is likely to encourage more pubs to operate in this way. It not only avoids cues inside, its also helping businesses to trade safely. Thank you. And one things to trade safely. Thank you. And one things the shore, technology is likely to play a big role in kickstarting the hospitality sector. These apps would also have a Public Health role, a way to trace and alert pub goers if they have been come into contact with coronavirus. Ian designs apps for the food and drink industry and says demand has increased tenfold in the last month. The businesses that are enquiring have changed massively as well. We are talking to holiday websites where they have static bands for ordering and restaurants and hotels was that we are talking to butchers, it is to be restaurants, takeaway and pubs, but now every business can sort of embrace it and use it. The hospitality sector is calling out the detailed advice on what reopening will look like. Will there bea limit reopening will look like. Will there be a limit on the number of drinkers and even the time allowed inside a pub . Were looking forward to getting clarity from the government today and the guidance that will have follow. Also, the date confirmed, but crucially a move from two metres down to one metre would make a significant difference for pubs. Its the difference between one third opening under two metres or two thirds being able to open under one metre. The uks 47,000 pubs are being forced to change. So, will they still appeal to customers . If there was a pub open now, we would go to it. If the measures were in place saying you have to use a app in place saying you have to use a app, i would in place saying you have to use a app, iwould probably in place saying you have to use a app, i would probably go for it. The whole point of socialising is mingling, if you are constantly being told to stay way away from each other, and people are drunk, i think it would take away from some of that. I would like to see my mates and go for a pint. In a new era where crowds are the enemy, some are questioning whether it will t
