Mr Javid said officers were `` doing a very good job in some difficult circumstances '' .
He told BBC Breakfast : `` The first line is engagement and building relationships , and you do n't do that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ helmets and shields .

`` Mr Javid added : `` We 're not going to arrest our way out of the situations like this , but what I can be clear about is if these situations do descend into chaos and violence and disorder , which is completely unacceptable , we will take a much more thorough and robust position .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ very , very upset by this , as much as the police are .
This is much more about the impact it 's having on those communities that these people live in . ''

Some people have drunk far too much .
Some people are just angry and aggressive and some people are plain violent . ''

Mr Javid added: "We're not going to arrest our way out of the situations like this, but what I can be clear about is if these situations do descend into chaos and violence and disorder, which is completely unacceptable, we will take a much more thorough and robust position.

bbcuk--2020-06-27--Giant water lily returns to Belfast after 30 years

It may have had a multi-million pound facelift in recent years but the Tropical Ravine in Belfast 's Botanic Gardens is from another age .
That Victorian epoch is summed up in the story of one plant - the giant water lily .
First described in 1837 , it was named Victoria regia after the new Queen .
Seed had been brought back to Britain from British Guiana ( now known as Guyana ) in South America and a couple of competitive dukes decided they would attempt to get this monstrous aquatic plant to grow .
Light levels and temperature @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the spirit of the age to make the impossible possible and sure enough the Duke of Devonshire pulled it off in 1849 .
Only a few years later in 1852 , Daniel Ferguson , curator of the then-Royal Botanic Gardens ( later Belfast 's Botanic Gardens ) successfully grew and brought the lily to flower for the first time in Ireland .
The gardens were private then and only opened on Sundays to the public .
Every year , visitors would pay to view Victoria regia ( later Victoria amazonica ) and experience @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Initially it was grown in a temporary structure but , by the end of the Victorian period , the ravine was adapted to give it a home there .
It 's not clear what happened in the following decades but , at some point , it was no longer possible to grow this giant until a refurbishment in the early 80s .
Andy Bingham , a young gardener there in 1983 , remembers his aquatic encounters with the world 's biggest water lily .
`` The leaves on top are smooth but underneath @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the stalk of the leaf right down to the base .
I suppose to protect them from being eaten under the surface .
`` One of my jobs was to take the ( invasive ) surrounding plants away so I got jabbed quite often . ''
The ravine underwent a £3.8m renovation between 2014 and 2018 and a new pond with the giant water lily in mind was installed .
In January this year , seeds of a hybrid giant lily ( a cross between Victoria amazonica and Victoria cruziana for the botanists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ under special conditions from Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania , USA .
Gardener Derek Lockwood said germinating them takes a bit of skill .
`` The initial sowing of the seed is a bit involved .
`` We have to basically remove parts of the seed without damaging the embryo - the water temperature is critical for germination as well but once it had germinated and produced three or four leaves then we knew we were good to go . ''
There has been no public access to the ravine during the lockdown and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ days , it 's hoped it will continue to send up new blooms over the next couple of months .
Gardener Adrienne Armstrong said it 's the icing on the cake for the restored ravine .
`` It 's been almost 30 years since we 've been able to grow it because conditions in the ravine just were n't suitable so to be able to do this again is amazing - and it gives us hope for the future . ''

bbcuk--2020-06-27--Coronavirus lockdown: Why can't some businesses reopen in England yet?

Pubs but not clubs , hairdressers but not nail salons .
The planned changes to England 's coronavirus lockdown on 4 July have left many businesses questioning why they ca n't reopen yet but others can .
The government has n't spelt out exactly how it made its decisions , but what might be some of the reasons to keep some businesses shut and others open ?
Pubs , bars and restaurants are set to reopen , but nightclubs will remain shuttered .
`` The whole way a nightclub works is getting people in close proximity , '' says virologist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pubs , where `` the whole ethos is n't about dancing with people and mating and dating '' .
A nightclub with the 1m social distancing rule would have `` zero atmosphere '' .
The difference could also be linked to noise .
Loud music in clubs forces people to talk louder or shout .
When people talk more loudly or sing , they produce higher numbers of respiratory droplets , say experts from the government 's Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies say .
These droplets are projected into the air , to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the risk of spreading the virus is higher .
Add to this the possibility that if people are dancing in a club and breathing quicker , they could potentially inhale more of those droplets .
The singing point is born out perhaps in Sage 's observation that at least two outbreaks are associated with choir rehearsals .
The government 's own advice urges all businesses to avoid playing music that might force people to talk louder or shout to communicate .
Live music or comedy is n't allowed anywhere .
• What will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
All these trades are considered `` close contact services '' and very few are allowed to reopen .
Hairdressers and barbers are an exception .
The `` highest risk zone '' is the area in the front of someone 's face , says the government , and so businesses that need staff to be within that area for most of the appointment ( make-up , spa or beauty services , for example ) should not reopen .
Tattoo parlours say it 's frustrating having to stay shut - especially since they have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ place to prevent cross-contamination .
• Hairdresser : 'Over 2,000 people on our waiting list' • What to expect when hairdressers reopen But `` touching people is definitely a risk factor , '' says Dr Shaun Fitzgerald , visiting professor in civil engineering at the University of Cambridge .
`` Wherever people are touching , that 's a known transmission risk factor . ''
Dr Fitzgerald - who also sits on Sage - says the position people gather in is also a factor that can increase your risk .
`` Even at 2m @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be face-to-face , but face-to-back , or back-to-back , or side-to-side . ''
There are large and small particles that come from people 's airways , he explains .
Smaller particles linger in the air - with a higher concentration around someone 's face - but larger ones are `` like ballistics '' and are projected out in front .
This could be one reason why hairdressers - who can for the most part stand behind or to the side of a client - are allowed to open first .
Virologist Dr Smith @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to get your nails done , your hands are on the table , you 're leaning forward… you 're having to go very close to that person , face to face . ''
He also weighs up the value of hairdressers compared with the others .
`` Your life does not depend on getting a tattoo [ or your nails done ] .
But if you do n't get your hair cut ... you might even lose your job . ''
People can go to outdoor gyms to exercise , but indoor gyms @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now - although ministers have suggested they could reopen by the end of July .
The rationale is ventilation : the more fresh air there is , the lower the concentration of virus particles .
`` If you provide fresh air into the space , the dirty air is leaving the space , '' says Dr Fitzgerald .
The virus is swept out to the outdoors where it will be in a `` ridiculously low concentration '' .
But what about the gym and exercise itself ?
A study in Norway looked at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were at a higher risk of coronavirus than those who did n't .
Although small , the study found no increased risk for gym-goers and the country has since reopened all indoor gyms , albeit with social distancing in place .
Dr Fitzgerald says he has not seen any data to suggest dancing or running on a treadmill increases transmission .
But of the data he has seen , there 's a link between virus particles and breathing rate .
If you 're breathing quicker , the risk of spreading or catching the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sweat spread the virus ?
`` We do n't think so , '' says Dr Smith .
The decision to keep casinos closed but reopen arcades and bingo halls has been called `` inconsistent '' by the Betting and Gaming Council , which represents casinos .
Could ventilation be a factor , with many seaside amusement arcades having open fronts , or the fact that at casinos people handle cards and chips ?
Or could it be something to do with the average time spent in such places ?
`` You 're in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , lots of games , it 's very , very difficult to socially distance and play cards , '' says Dr Smith .
Dr Fitzgerald says the length of time spent in a place with an infected person increases risk .
It is unlikely someone would inhale one little virus particle and become infected , he says .
Instead , there 's usually a threshold of virus particles you need to reach before you become ill. '' You know the risk will increase the more particles you inhale .
If you can reduce @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vicinity , that will reduce your risk . ''
Cinemas , theatres and concert halls are allowed to open - but , crucially for the latter two , without any live performances .
The government says the ban on live theatre , comedy or music is `` to mitigate the risks of aerosol transmission - from either the performer ( s ) or their audience '' .
One suggestion has been to put up a clear screen between the cast and audience .
`` When you are at the theatre , the performers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they are going to produce more aerosols , '' said Dr Smith .
In its review of how safe businesses would be with a 1m rule in place , the government differentiated between theatres and cinemas , saying `` further work may be required to mitigate risk '' in theatres .
But the reasons for opening some businesses and not others may not be completely down to the virus .
`` Reopening each extra business increases the transmission risk for coronavirus , '' says Dr Gemma Tetlow , chief economist at the Institute @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a trade-off between health risks and the economic benefits you get from being open again .
`` The government might have made the decision that , actually , people 's mental well-being and the UK economy is really helped by pubs and cinemas opening but actually theatres do n't deliver such benefits .
Or perhaps they deliver benefits to different groups of people .
`` The government might be particularly worried about the mental health of people in crowded , built up , urban areas… and you might therefore open some types @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . ''

The "highest risk zone" is the area in the front of someone's face, says the government, and so businesses that need staff to be within that area for most of the appointment (make-up, spa or beauty services, for example) should not reopen. Tattoo parlours say it's frustrating having to stay shut - especially since they have long been required to have measures in place to prevent cross-contamination.

The coronavirus pandemic has caused a `` crisis '' for foster caring in Wales , according to a children 's charity .
Barnardo 's Cymru has seen a 45 % rise in the number of children needing foster care at the same time as a 51 % fall in parent inquiries during lockdown .
The double impact has led the charity to declare a `` state of emergency '' .
It believes the pandemic and lockdown has increased pressure on vulnerable families due to job losses and poverty while also affecting mental health .
`` The coronavirus pandemic has hit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crisis point , '' said chief executive Javed Khan .
During March and April , Barnardo 's Cymru fostering service received 140 referrals , an increase from 96 for the same period in 2019 .
At the same time , there were just 19 inquiries from people considering becoming foster parents for the charity - down from 39 a year earlier - amid the uncertainty of the pandemic .
There is now a growing fear children are experiencing abuse and neglect while they wait for foster care places with the problem only worsening @ @ @ @ @ @ @ created a state of emergency , as more children than ever need a safe and loving foster family , while fewer adults are coming forward as potential foster carers , '' said Mr Khan .
The charity is urging more people to follow the likes of Chris and Sarah Williams , of Anglesey , who are now fostering a third child .
The couple , who also have two children of their own , `` fell into '' fostering 14 years ago when they became carers for a friend of their daughter who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ family breakdown .
`` We helped her to turn things around and get back on track with school , '' said Chris , now 56 .
`` It was a real eye-opener and we enjoyed having her with us , being a part of our family . ''
It was several years later that the couple saw a Barnardo 's appeal for foster parents and after 12 months , they welcomed three siblings aged 18 months , eight and 13 .
`` We did n't hesitate and said yes straight away , '' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the children , they asked us lots of questions and we just knew we were going to get on .
`` They moved in a few days before Christmas and it was lovely to have youngsters in the house again at that time of year .
They settled in really quickly and became part of our family . ''
As with any family , there are highs and lows , said Chris , but he and Sarah adore being foster parents .
`` The biggest high for us was when the children @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first time , '' he said .
`` We have always worked hard with the children to help them do the best they could , to believe in themselves and get the most out of life .
`` Having Sam [ not her real name ] with us is just wonderful .

He added : `` If anyone was considering fostering , I would encourage them to pick up the phone .

bbcuk--2020-06-27--Liverpool FC fans' behaviour 'unacceptable', says club

Liverpool FC has condemned the conduct of some fans who gathered in the city to celebrate the Premier League title win as `` wholly unacceptable '' .
Thirty-four people were injured - three seriously - as thousands of people turned up on the city 's waterfront despite restrictions on gatherings .
Firefighters also extinguished a small fire at the landmark Liver Building .
Mayor Joe Anderson said the events `` brought Liverpool Football Club and the city of Liverpool into disrepute '' .
Three people remain in a serious condition in hospital , the North West Ambulance Service said .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ hospital , while seven others were treated at the scene .
A 19-year-old man from Scarisbrick , Lancashire , has been arrested on suspicion of arson after the fire at the Liver Building , thought to have been started by a firework .
The blaze caused at least £10,000 worth of damage , police said .
Fifteen people have been arrested for violent disorder and police officers were `` subjected to a number of violent confrontations '' , Merseyside Police Chief Constable Andy Cooke said on Twitter .
`` Last night , children @ @ @ @ @ @ @ heavy-handed police intervention was therefore not appropriate at the time , '' he said .
Assistant Chief Constable Jon Roy said missiles were thrown at police , including at two officers who were trying to help the victim of an assault and make an arrest .
`` Both those officers came under attack from bottles being thrown at them and were injured as a result , '' he added .
In the early hours , after most fans had left , a group of about 100 people also committed `` acts of disorder @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the police when they tried to intervene , '' he said .
A joint statement from Liverpool FC , the city 's council and Merseyside Police said : `` Our city is still in a public health crisis and this behaviour is wholly unacceptable .

`` When it is safe to do so , we will all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when everyone can come together to celebrate . ''
Mr Anderson told BBC Radio Merseyside he was `` frustrated and angry and upset '' .
He said : `` People were urinating in doorways of the Cunard building because people gathered there with cases and cases of beer .
`` About 95 % of fans have behaved remarkably well , brilliantly , and listened to our pleas not to gather together , and yet there are a tiny minority besmirching Liverpool Football Club 's name . ''
Friday was the second consecutive night @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first league win in 30 years .
`` On Thursday , when they gathered outside Anfield , you could argue that the passion was there and we had to accept that was inevitable , '' Mr Anderson said .
`` But what we saw yesterday was pre-meditated , planned , thought through , and drink played a major part in that .
`` That 's no [ longer ] acceptable now in this city . ''
BBC Radio Merseyside reporter Philip Munns , who was at the Liver Building on Saturday morning , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , cans , empty gas canisters and bags `` all strewn across the area '' .

Twelve of the surviving activists from the Gay Liberation Front ( GLF ) have marched in London to celebrate its 50th anniversary .
They followed the route normally taken by Pride in London , which was cancelled this year due to the coronavirus .
A separate Black Trans Lives Matters protest gathered at Hyde Park and marched through central London to celebrate black transgender people .
Some marchers carried fresh flowers and banners reading `` Fight police brutality , fight racism !
Fight imperialism ! ''
and `` Black trans lives matter '' .
Human rights activist Peter Tatchell was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Pride route , many of whom were aged in their 70s and 80s .
The GLF was formed in 1970 and has been credited as being the beginning of the modern LGBT+ movement in the UK .
Organisers said the march was not open to the wider LGBT+ community in order to comply with social distancing regulations and to protect the veterans , however a small group of people joined in to give their support .
Mr Tatchell , who helped organise the UK 's first Pride march in 1972 , said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , so we 're not going to let the Covid-19 pandemic stop Pride .
`` We GLF veterans confronted anti-LGBT+ bigots 50 years ago .
We faced down police harassment , far-right extremists and homophobic political and religious leaders .
`` We are marching as Pride was planned , with face masks and social distancing . ''
Mr Tatchell added : `` We support Black Lives Matter and the just demands of black communities , just as we did in the early 1970s .
`` GLF did not seek equal rights within a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ campaigned for the transformation of society to end straight supremacism and stood in solidarity with all other oppressed communities .

Fortune shines on below-par United
Solskjaer 'delighted' to be through to FA Cup semis
A third semi-final in the past five seasons, but perhaps this match further highlighted United's need to strengthen the squad.
Solksjaer, bar one change, faithfully stuck to the XI that got United to this stage however the attacking display they produced for much of the match was, at best, tepid.

That was the Nigerian loan signing's fifth goal in just five cup competition matches for United.
But instead of building on that advantage, United retreated into their shell again allowing Norwich to get back into the game.
Thankfully for the visitors, the cup gods were smiling down on them when Klose was sent off and, having a stronger bench to call on, it seemed inevitable United would break Norwich resistance.
Krul did his best to keep them at bay, saving from Paul Pogba, Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford - three of United's six substitutes - before remarkably clawing Maguire's header off the line.
But with two minutes of extra-time remaining, United finally wore their opponents down when Maguire pounced to hooked home.
Cantwell's shines in Norwich exit
Norwich, like United, made changes to their XI with Farke bringing back first-team trio Emiliano Buendia, Teemu Pukki and Cantwell into the fold - the latter two who helped Norwich make that brilliant start to the season.
Finn Pukki, who has now not found the net in the past nine matches, struggled again, but his 22-year-old team-mate improved as the game wore on. Cantwell's goal in the 75th minute was a delight - cutting through the ball as his shot found the bottom corner.
It was just reward for Norwich who controlled play after Ighalo's goal. However, when Klose was sent off the Canaries knew extra time would be spent trying to see the match through to penalties.
They almost succeeded.
Man of the match - Tim Krul (Norwich)
It was a cruel day for Tim Krul who had made a number of brilliant saves to keep Norwich in the tie before Harry Maguire broke Norwich hearts
Norwich City manager Daniel Farke: "Football can be cruel sometimes and it can be the cruellest sport in the world.
"Of course it's a disappointing outcome for us. I think the lads deserved more. They left their heart out on the pitch.
"Manchester United are totally on the up and more or less on the way to finishing in the Champions League positions, they had all players available.
