Sport returns: From Monday 1 June competitive sport allowed behind closed doors

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Domestic competitive sport behind closed doors will be allowed from Monday, the UK government says.

The 'phase three' guidance paves the way for live sport to return on 1 June for the first time since mid-March.

It is up to individual sports to assess the risk and consult athletes, coaches and support staff.

Horse racing is among the first to resume with a meeting at Newcastle on Monday, while the Premier League is due to resume on 17 June.

Clubs in England's top flight returned to 'phase two' contact training on 25 May.

"The wait is over. Live British sport will shortly be back on in safe and carefully controlled environments," said the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, Oliver Dowden.

"This guidance provides the safe framework for sports to resume competitions behind closed doors. It is now up to individual sports to confirm they can meet these protocols and decide when it's right for them to restart.

"This is a significant moment for British sport. By working with clinicians every step of the way, we are creating the safest possible environments for everyone involved."

The key protocols that must be adhered to:

All competition delivery partners and user groups involved, from the teams and athletes, to the support staff, officials and media, must travel individually and by private transport where possible

Prior to entering the competition venue, they are expected to carry out a screening process for coronavirus symptoms. Anyone with known or suspected Covid-19 will not be permitted to enter and should be placed, or remain, in isolation

Social distancing should be maintained by all groups where possible. This includes the competing athletes and support staff on the bench and field of play, such as during any disputes between players and referees, or scoring celebrations

Dressing room usage should be minimised. However, showers can be used

Competition delivery partners and elite sports organisations should appoint a named Covid-19 officer to be responsible for oversight of all planning and communications

Premier League chief executive Richard Masters "welcomed" the decision.

"We have provisionally planned to restart the Premier League on 17 June, but there is still much work to be done to ensure the safety of everyone involved," added Masters.

"This includes consulting with our clubs, players and managers - along with all our other stakeholders - as the health and welfare of our participants and supporters is our priority.

"If all goes well, we will be thrilled to resume the 2019-20 season in just over two weeks' time."

George Floyd death: Minneapolis police station set on fire

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Donald Trump has attacked who he called "thugs" in Minneapolis, Minnesota, after a third night of violent protests over the death of an unarmed black man in custody.

Demonstrators set fire to a police station as anger mounted after George Floyd died on Monday.

In tweets about the latest unrest, the president said he "can't stand back and watch this happen to a great American city", and vowed "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" - which sparked a violation ruling by Twitter for "glorifying violence".

Mr Trump claimed there had been "a total lack of leadership" among the city's authorities as the protests intensified.

He said: "Either the very weak radical left mayor, Jacob Frey, gets his act together and brings the city under control, or I will send in the National Guard and get the job done right."

In a second tweet, Mr Trump wrote: "These thugs are dishonouring the memory of George Floyd, and I won't let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!"

The latter post was deemed by Twitter to have "violated" its "rules about glorifying violence" and users had to click on a view button to read it.

Mr Floyd died after a white officer, Derek Chauvin, was filmed kneeling on his neck while he was handcuffed, for at least eight minutes while arresting him for allegedly using a fake $20 note in a shop.

The 46-year-old can be heard in the widely-circulated mobile phone footage saying he could not breathe, before paramedics are seen lifting him on to a stretcher and into an ambulance - he was later pronounced dead in hospital.

The video showed "a murder right before our very eyes", House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told TV broadcaster MSNBC.

She said: "It's so very, very sad because the American people saw an execution, a murder right before our very eyes.

"It wasn't self-defence. There has to be justice in that case."

On Thursday evening, cheering protesters broke into a police precinct after the department abandoned it, setting it on fire and letting off fireworks, as violence spread across the US over Mr Floyd's death.

Demonstrators in New York defying coronavirus rules against public gatherings clashed with police, while some blocked traffic in downtown Denver.

In Minneapolis, a police spokesman confirmed that staff had evacuated the 3rd precinct station - which covers the area where Mr Floyd was detained - "in the interest of the safety of our personnel".

Video streamed live online showed people entering the building, where fire alarms went off and sprinklers came on as blazes were set. Windows of shops were also smashed.

The city's governor, Tim Waltz, called in the National Guard - which tweeted that it had activated more than 500 soldiers across the area.

It said a "key objective" was to make sure fire departments could respond to calls, and in a follow-up post, it said it was "here with the Minneapolis Fire Department" to assist - but no move was made to put out the fire.

Local leaders have repeatedly urged demonstrators to avoid violence and to "please stay at home".

In a tweet, St Paul Mayor, Melvin Carter - who is black - said: "Please do not come here to protest. Please keep the focus on George Floyd, on advancing our movement and on preventing this from ever happening again."

The US attorney's office and the FBI in Minneapolis said they are conducting "a robust criminal investigation" into Mr Floyd's death.

Donald Trump had previously asked the Bureau to get involved, and it is also looking into whether Mr Floyd's civil rights were violated.

Derek Chauvin and three other police officers involved in his arrest were sacked on Tuesday.

Officials have called for criminal charges to be brought against Mr Chauvin, who has had 17 complaints filed against him during his 19-year service, online city records show.

Sixteen complaints were closed with no discipline, and the remaining grievance generated two letters of reprimand.

Mr Chauvin's driveway has been splattered with red paint and the word "murderer".

He has not spoken publicly since Mr Floyd's death, and his lawyer has not responded to calls seeking comment.
