this is outside source on bbc news for viewers in the uk and around the world.we‘re covering all the latest coronavirus developments here in britain and globally. in the us, a landmark ruling for lgbt rights — the us supreme court rules it's illegal for workers to be fired for their sexuality. protesters march over the police killing of another african—american man, whose death is declared a homicide. his wife speaks out.

it is going to be a long time before i heal and this family heals. and we'll have comprehensive coronavirus updates from all over the world. a big day in europe — as countries across the continent open their borders to visitors for the first time in three months. and in england — the biggest easing of lockdown as businesses on the high street re—open — to huge queues. we'll have updates from pakistan, india and bangladesh which are struggling to keep covid—i9 under control. significant decision earlier by the us supreme court. it's ruled that employers who fire workers for being gay or transgender are breaking the country's civil rights laws. it's a major win for lgbtq workers and their allies. the court ruled 6—3 that federal law, which prohibits discrimination based on sex,

should be understood to include sexual orientation. and all this comes even though many thought the supreme court had grown more conservative. that's because of the new appointees made by president trump. this is one of them — judge neil gorsuch. but it wasjudge gorsuch who wrote the majority opinion. he wrote "an employer who fires an individualfor being homosexual or transgender fires that person for traits or actions it would not have questioned in members of a different sex." we've haven't yet had any reaction from president trump. but his democratic rival for the presidenchoe biden tweeted this: "today's decision is another step in our march toward equality for all. the supreme court has confirmed the simple but profoundly american idea that every human being should be treated with respect. but we're not done." anthony zurcher has been covering this for us.

help me understand the dynamics in the supreme court and why some people are surprised the ruling went this way. well, you have to view this way. well, you have to view this ruling in the context of what the supreme court had been doing over the past two decades on gay rights issues. back in the early 2000, the texas ban on suddenly and then 15 years later, it legalised 93v then 15 years later, it legalised gay marriage across the country, so you see this progression in the supreme court to expanding and interpretation of gay rights but that was a different court, and as you mention, there were two new conservative justices appointed to this court, replacing one of them, anthony kennedy who was the author of those landmark gay rights decisions, so there was concern among the lgbt q decisions, so there was concern among the lgbt 0 community that this would be a chance for the courts to pare back some of this rights, particularly looking at gorsuch

coming on. and clearly, the people within the lgbt q coming on. and clearly, the people within the lgbt 0 community, this is the outcome they were hoping for but has there been a lot of heat around this, is there another side to the argument, whether people trying to stop this from happening and what reasons could they give for trying to stop it? i think because this was essentially argument over reading of a 19 law, the protections in this 1964 law that prohibits discrimination based on race, reeds and sex, and their argument was that these members of congress who passed this law looked and said they were considering gay rights, they weren't considering gay rights, they weren't considering transgender rights when they said you couldn't discriminate

on the basis of sex and whether this could be changed over the course of someone's life, they say that this wasn't something that was considered and congress said they wanted to include gay and transgender rights in their law, they should go out and pass it explicitly rather than waiting on the courts to interpret it itself. thank you very much. much more background on that ruling on the bbc news website as well. a moment of great importance for europe's navigation of this pandemic — border controls have been lifted after three months. and of course the hope is that this has come in time to allow the summer holiday season to help kick—start economies. today all these countries reopen their borders — either completely or with some restrictions on specific countries. greece for example is allowing tourists from 29 countries, mostly from within the eu. that list does not include the uk, spain or italy. germany is fully opening its borders for travellers from the eu — although there

are different advisories for each country. and france is opening its borders too. however, if you're coming from the uk or spain you have to self—isolate for two weeks on arrival. in paris, cafes and restaurants have been allowed to let customers inside from today. hugh schofield is there. i think in france today you really get a feeling that a stage, a period, is coming to an end. today, for the first time in three months, you can come to a bar, cafe or restaurant, have a coffee outside 01’ inside here in paris. in a week's time, schools are opening across france, not on a voluntary basis as they have been up until now, but compulsory. children will have to attend and that will free up a lot of parents to go back to work. on borders from today, that is opening up as well. for three months, france's borders have been tightly controlled but those controls are coming down now which means

that the movement of goods and people can begin to resume. is life going to be like it was before? no. now we have masks, we have social distancing, a lot of people are still going to keep working from home, but above all, we have a clearly traumatised economy, 10% contraction in gdp 01’ output, which means a lot of people losing theirjobs, a lot of companies going to the wall. thousands of hotel staff in austria will regularly be tested for covid—19 this summer, to try to reassure tourists, particularly those coming from abroad, that the country is safe. the aim is to test 65,000 hotel workers per week, by the start ofjuly. bethany bell has been to one hotel that has begun covid testing in the danube valley near vienna. another hotel is taking part in a pilot project aimed at trying to reassure tourists. especially those from neighbouring germany. every week, its staff is tested for covid—19. but tests are run by the red cross

and paid for by the government. one of the waiters said it is about safety of everyone, staff and guests. that was an easy test. i think this is very important. this is what we have to do and i think the hotel does everything for the guests to protect our customers. the government hopes to test up to 65,000 hotel workers a week by the beginning ofjuly. when we decided to offer this to the tourism sector because it is very important for austrian economy, for the the whole country, more or less, because it is very important to have also in these very special year as much tourist as possible. hotels that participate in

the testing programme will receive a special certificate which they can use for their website and marketing. cafes a nd restau ra nts still have to wait in the uk, most schools too — but shops in england have opened up for the first time since lockdown — all be it with social distancing in place. scotland and wales still have nonessential shops closed. well for some shops — there was considerable demand — there were even scuffles outside one in central london. sarah corker reports. and the restrictions haven't put people off. thousands waited for primark to open in bradford, birmingham, liverpool and this is bristol. the chain doesn't trade online and there is pent—up demand. on london's oxford street, there was a scrum to get into nike town, the crowd ignoring social distancing rules. and in ashford in kent, a steady stream of customers, but clothes shopping will be different. some of the clothes that you do try on, if you try them on they are then

quarantined. some of the fitting rooms are actually closed and brands are extending their returns policy. but some retailers won itjust won't be profitable to trade with social distancing measures in place. the government say this is a phased plan of recovery. let's learn a little more about social distancing works in the shops. here's ben thompson at an outlet centre in ashford to the south east of london. shopping will look and feel very different for quite a while to come and let me talk you through what you mightfind, we and let me talk you through what you might find, we are at mcarthur glen in ashford in kent in the south—east of england. at this place, they have limited the number of people who can get in, they have halved the car parking spaces so straightaway, even at the car park looks busy, there aren't as many people here and that is to limit how many people can get in and you might find you have to queue before you even get into the shops. monica is on the door here making sure that there are no more

than three, four or five making sure that there are no more than three, four orfive people making sure that there are no more than three, four or five people are at the shop in any one time and when get in, it at the shop in any one time and when getin, it “elf " "' ' 7 w w” at the shop in any one time and when getin, it z’gbzéfeel "' " " at the shop in any one time and when get in, it “g“ feel different, " '* " you get in, it might feel different, advice about social distancing, reminders on the floor of where you can go. also, advice to perhaps consider paying with a card or co nta ctless consider paying with a card or contactless payment rather than using cash. especially in close shops, they don't let you try on the clothes, there say buy, take it home and then if there is a problem, bring it back. they don't want to open changing rooms. you will notice things like a perspex screen right here at the checkout to protect staff and customers and make sure they feel confident about coming back to spend because, look, it is quite an important moment in england getting these nonessential retailers open and that is because the british retail consortium suggesting it is costing just sort of $2 billion every single week to keep these shops closed, so today, yes. opening ona shops closed, so today, yes. opening on a limited capacity, lots of work they're doing to keep things clean when people touch and pick things

up, they keep it clean and make sure other customers are safe. we are going to switch back to the us now. crowds have gathered at the georgia state capitol building in atlanta — continuing the protests over the death of an an african—american man who was shot by a white policeman last week. these are some of the lastest pictures of the march. crowds are demanding justice — and, more broadly, an end to racial injustice in us policing. the man who died was 27 —year—old rayshard brooks. this is the police body cam footage of the night of his death. the georgia bureau of investigations says officers were called to a fast—food restaurant because mr brooks had fallen asleep in his car — and the car was blocking the drive thru. you can see in this footage — from cctv — that the officers then try to handcuff him. he was killed while fleeing from the officers. well a medical examiner has declared this a homicide. and rayshard brooks' wife has spoken.

ican i can never get my husband back, i can never get my best friend. i can never tell my daughter, he is coming to ta ke never tell my daughter, he is coming to take you today. swimming lessons. so... this is gonna be a long time before i heal. it is gonna be a long time before this family heals. that was rayshard brooks' wife — this is his niece. this situation has traumatised me in our family. the rest of our lives. my uncle did not die in vain. his life mattered. george floyd's life mattered. breonna taylor life mattered. breonna taylor life mattered. i am mattered. breonna taylor life mattered. lam not mattered. breonna taylor life mattered. i am not only asking the city of atlanta to stand with us but everyone in the nation to stand with us as we everyone in the nation to stand with us as we seekjustice. atla nta's police chief has quit over this — and the police officer who shot mr brooks has been fired. we're expecting an update later this

week on whether the officers will face charges. this is rayshard brooks' cousin speaking about the police. the trust that we have with the police force is broken. and the only way to heal some of these wounds is through a conviction and a drastic change within the police department. gary o'donoghue, washington. let's bear in mind, this was a routine stop by the police, this was a man who was being accused of drunk driving. he had fallen asleep in a drive—through burgerjoint driving. he had fallen asleep in a drive—through burger joint and driving. he had fallen asleep in a drive—through burgerjoint and he has ended up dead. he has ended up with two bullets in his back. that is one of the things that certainly the black community here and most people here don't understand how that happens with such routine

police business. another quick update from the us — president trump's plan to hold a campaign rally in tulsa next weekend has been met with opposition from public health experts. they're warning that using an 19,000—seat indoor arena is not sensible during a pandemic. the president's going ahead though. in fact he's tweeted "almost 1 million people request tickets for the saturday night rally in tulsa, oklahoma!" maybe. though as tulsa's population is less than half a million, that's quite a claim. stay with us on oustide source, still to come. beijing tries to contain a coronavirus outbreak linked to a massive market. we'll have the latest from our correspondent in china. wearing a face covering on public transport became compulsory in england today. only children under 11 and those with a legitimate health reason are exempt. here's tom burridge. the new rules apply only in england.

and this service is heading to swansea. the first stretch of the journey, it is the law that people on board have to cover their faces. but once they go over the border into wales, it is just a recommendation, so passengers could take their masks off. it's also just a recommendation to cover your face on public transport in northern ireland and in scotland. you can get a free mask at some stations. you can also put a filter into its... or, follow a tutorial online and make your own. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom a ‘landmark ruling' for lgbt rights in the us —

the supreme court says it's illegal — to fire workers based on their sexuality. many countries continue to struggle to keep covid—19 under control. let me update you on some of them. first china, where the virus originated. there's a new outbreak of over 50 cases in beijing — and it's being linked to asia's biggest wholesale market. the market and 11 nearby neighbourhoods are under now under lockdown. this is significant because here had been no new cases of the virus for close to two months. this is the market in question. — and its huge — over 10,000 people work there. and it supplies 80% of beijing's fresh produce — that includes meat, seafood and vegetables — some of which come from china, some from abroad. to give you a sense of scale this, the market is bigger than 160 football pitches. and it's 20 times bigger than the market in wuhan where covid—19 was first detected. i should add more cases have also

been reported at a second market which is several kilometres away. chinese officials now want to test the thousands of people who've recently attended these markets. they believe the virus may have come from a chopping board used to cut fish. here's an epidemiologist at the university of hong kong on that theory. the virus detected on this particular chopping board, it's not clear how it got there. they have also tested a lot of the meat, the fish, all those kind of samples. they haven't found the virus. so most likely, the virus got on the chopping board from the person who was using it. we don't know where it came from but we know there is always the chance of a sporadic infection is to pop up. maybe an asymptomatic case who was infected elsewhere in china travelled to beijing's, didn't even know he had covid—19 and spread it into this particular market. chinese authorities are vowing to avoid a ‘second wuhan' — and normally state media would stress the work being done.

however some local beijing media we've looked at has a down downbeat tone. the global times is warning the risk of further epidemic is high. it quotes the chinese vice premier. "all districts and departments must not have any numb thoughts, war fatigue, count on luck, or take a relaxed mentality." and then the people's daily quotes a spokesperson for the city authorities. they say: "beijing has entered an extraordinary period. we should draw lessons from the pain, remain alert against the risk of the epidemic at all times and resolutely cut off the spread of the virus." other newspapers are urging people to wear masks. here's the bbc‘s stephen mcdonell in beijing with more on what the government is doing. quickly mobilising people, to be able to test tens of thousands of workers or neighbours near that vast market, all very impressive, the speed with which that has taken place. however, we have also

seen the general manager of that market sacked, as well as a local party secretary, other officials from the market have been called up to the local communist party discipline inspection commission. now, again, if you were to think what might you do if you wanted to encourage a culture whereby cover—up is your first response? where you might worry about openness in this type of thing? well, you would start sacking leaders anywhere where a small outbreak happens. so, for this reason, there has been some criticism for this handling of many ordinary people in china are asking on social media why is it their fault automatically? in a moment we'll update on pakistan but first india. chennai is reimposing its lockdown on 15 million people on sunday, it recorded more than 1400 new cases on sunday — and its

total is over 30,000. local media is reporting that infections are surging in slum areas. now — on a national level india have eased its lockdown. but the threat from covid continues. new infections continue to spike — and there are over 330,000 reported cases — that's the world's fourth—highest total. india's death toll is close to 10,000. and maharashtra, gujarat and delhi are the worst affected states. as you can see, in delhi these railway carriages are being converted into care centres. and there are fears the city's health care system may not be able to cope if cases continue to rise. here's one doctor there. next — pakistan. it lifted its lockdown in early may when it had a relatively low 25,000 cases recorded. over a month later it has another 120,000 cases. health experts say the virus may

peak in july or august. all of which is creating pressure. the new york times reports people are being turned away from hospitals. some have signs saying they're full. and the anecdotal evidence is born out by pakistan now being in who's list of 10 countries where covid—19 is on the rise. in fact the who has asked for the lockdown to be reimposed — arguing it meets not of the criteria to lift it. the government's argument is that the lockdown is untenable for those living in poverty. prime minister imran khan favour local lockdowns around virus hot spots. he said that's neccessary to ensure "that the burden doesn't fall on poor people." from asia to south america — and more countries under presssure. a cathedral lima in peru has been filled with the photos of over 5,000 people who've been killed by covid—19. local media is reporting that many weren't able to access to adequate medical care.

and that's symtomatic of the challenge for peru — it has the second—highest numbers of deaths and infections in south america after brazil. luis fajardo from bbc monitoring is in miami. first of all, let's talk about peru. does its health care system have sufficient facilities to cope with the number of cases? clearly not and that was the centre of the criticism by very influential voices and of course the catholic church, the powerful image of the cathedral in lima filled with all the pictures of people who died. clearly, peru is facing serious difficulties in meeting the challenge presented by covid—19 and even though peru was

one of the... they tried to keep people in their houses...

many of the largest cities in the world preparing to open their economy, the situation can only get worse. i have 30 seconds when can you give me a quick update on venezuela? it is about question in the continent, the report very low cases, but many places do not trust the figures as they think the venezuelan health system is facing challenges and it's hard to believe the figures are so few. thank you very much indeed.

we will have more information on the us supreme court ruling. see you then. hello again, it has been another day of sunshine and showers, another day where our lightning detector has been going into overdrive. look at all the storms flushing away across wales, north—west england and into northern ireland and also the south west of scotland. those storms have been pretty intense, this was one of them going across the heart of manchester early in the afternoon. now, many of those showers will fade away overnight but it will take a time before they clear out. later in the night, we will see some low clouds moving back into eastern and central scotland, down the eastern side of england and all the while, it will feel muggy overnight, temperatures no lower than 11 to 13

degrees. tomorrow is another day of showers. we start on a dry note in the best of the sunshine toward western areas. in the east, the cloud is taking a while before it thins and we will get some afternoon sunshine coming through. at the same time, those storm clouds go up again during the afternoon and storms. south—west england, wales, west of scotland, these are the places that will see the heaviest downpours. 15 to 25 millilitres of rain possible injust the space to 25 millilitres of rain possible in just the space of an hour. that is enough to bring some localised surface water issues. aside from those thunderstorms, there will be some warm june sunshine and it will continue to feel quite muggy and humid with temperatures widely in the low 20s. the wednesday, little will change in the forecast, the area of low pressure still on the charts and that means after a largely dry but quite cloudy start, again we will see some showers developing the afternoon but this time, heavy showers and thunderstorms are likely across wales, midlands and southern areas

of england as well with fewer showers across scotland, the weather probably becoming more settled there so dry weather on the way. towards the end of the week, thursday, we see a weather front getting pulled in from the continent, that will bring heavy outbreaks of rain to england and wales and some dry aware the further north. for england and wales, rain at times which will be heavy and thundery, more showery conditions as we get towards the end of the week but all the while, continues to feel quite humid. across northern ireland, england and scotland, the tendency for the weather to be a bit drier and brighter as well. that's the forecast.

this is bbc world news. the headlines... the us supreme court has ruled that job discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity is illegal. the decision is being seen as the most important ruling in favour of lgbt rights, since same sex marriage was legalised five years ago. protesters march over the police killing of another african—american man, this time in atlanta. the family of rayshard brooks say they are "heartbroken" and "tired" of the racial injustice. diners in paris are now allowed inside restaurants and cafes for the first time since lockdown three months ago. france is also among a number of eu countries which have reopened their borders to travellers and tourists. uk prime minister borisjohnson has held a virtual brexit summit with eu leaders in the hopes of reviving a post—brexit trade deal. both sides have agreed that new momentum is needed in negotiations on their future relationship.
