Boris Johnson unveils alert system for England – BBC News

Published

on



Boris Johnson has unveiled a “conditional plan” to reopen society, allowing people in England to spend more time outdoors from Wednesday.

The PM also said people who could not work from home should return to the workplace – but avoid public transport.

He said a new Covid Alert System with five levels would govern how quickly lockdown restrictions could be eased.

He hoped the next step “at the earliest by 1 June” would be for some primary pupils to return to school in England.

In an address to the nation, Mr Johnson said this stage would also involving reopening shops – but he cautioned this would only happen if the science supported it.

The next step could see some of the hospitality industry and other public places reopen – “if the numbers support it” – and no earlier than 1 July.

The PM added: “This is not the time simply to end the lockdown this week.

“Instead we are taking the first careful steps to modify our measures.”

Israeli settlers attack Palestinians in West Bank during olive harvest | BBC News

Published

on



The BBC has witnessed Israeli settlers attack Palestinians and set fire to olive trees in the occupied West Bank.

Several dozen settlers dressed in black charged down a hill near an outpost – illegal under Israeli and international law – to a field where Palestinians and activists were harvesting olives. They torched about a dozen trees and hurled stones from slingshots.

Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine, who was at the scene, was taken to hospital where she told reporters she “got jumped” and described being kicked on the ground.

The UN says the past two weeks have already seen more attacks by violent Israeli settlers than during the entire harvest season last year. It says this year levels of settler violence have reached an all-time high.

The BBC’s Middle East Correspondent Lucy Williamson reports from the occupied West Bank.

Published

This week tens of thousands of young people have taken to the streets of Delhi, India’s capital, demanding changes to the electoral system and the resignation of the country’s electoral commissioner. Thousands have been detained by police in the process.

They represent the ‘cockroach’ movement, a grassroots campaign group started by a Boston University graduate in protest at government policies and high youth unemployment. How did a movement that started as a meme capture the minds of India’s young people, and start to pose a challenge to its long-serving prime minister, Narendra Modi?

The BBC’s South Asia correspondent, Azadeh Moshiri, explains.
