welcome to bbc news — i'm lewis vaughan jones. our top stories: it's a disaster — president trump's handling of the pandemic is slammed by his predecessor barack obama. easing the uk's lockdown will only be done with "extreme caution" says the government — as many already ignore the stay at home advice to soak up the sun. brazil's world famous maraca na football stadium — now a coronavirus hospital — as the country's deathtoll reaches 10,000. and the pioneer of rock ‘n' roll, little richard dies aged 87.

hello. we begin in the us, where former president barack 0bama has described the current government's handling of the coronavirus pandemic as an "absolute, chaotic disaster". mr 0bama was speaking on a conference call to rally supporters behind joe biden's run for president. in a leaked recording he says: he then adds: 0ur north america correspondent peter bowes told me why mr 0bama's comments are significant.

we haven't heard words like this, as strong as this from former president 0bama really since before president trump became president. he has pretty much stayed on the sidelines during the past three years of mr trump being in the white house. but we are a different time now and of course we're just six months away from the next presidential election and barack 0bama has endorsed his former deputy, joe biden, for the democrats as their candidate. i think this signals that president 0bama will not be quiet over the next six months. in fact, he is saying that he is going to do as much as he can to support his former number two, and the purpose apparently of this private conference call that he was having with his former colleagues was to encourage them to get involved in that campaign and to get behind mr biden. let's get to the substance then of what barack 0bama was saying, criticism that we have heard, notjust from him, but echoed in other

quarters around the us. yes, and it really goes to the heart, you could say, of the personality of president trump, and you are absolutely right — we have heard these kind of criticisms before, that some of the decisions made by president trump have focused perhaps more on his chances at the next election and specifically pushing some of the states to open sooner than they might have wanted to. in other words, to, as the critics would see it, ignore the fact that this virus is still spreading, but want to get business moving again. and the number ofjob losses as we have been hearing the last couple of days, absolutely unprecedented, the harm to the economy, and this was something of course that you have heard a lot from president trump about before coronavirus, how good the economy was doing, and he still says that he believes it will start coming back in the third and fourth quarter, he expects the economy to be doing quite well considering what it has gone through over the last few weeks.

peter bowes there. the british government says emerging from lockdown will be a gradual process, not a single leap to freedom. it comes as the prime minister prepares to address the nation on sunday evening, to set out the next phase in tackling the pandemic. the uk has the second highest number of confirmed deaths, after the us. british airlines have called for clarity — after being told that the government will bring in a 14—day quarantine for anyone arriving in the uk. here's our political correspondent ben wright. the balmy bank holiday weather brought people to the parks. in london, police tried to remind them of the rules. police radio while in leeds, the measures on social distancing were also being stretched in the sun. just walking to the car to get the dog's ball, people were just walking right close to you on the path, so you had to walk on the road to stay away from them. i think people are forgetting the seriousness of it all. i think we're getting to a point where we're finding

it difficult being at home, but you can see why it's important to ensure that the lockdown continues for a little while longer. tomorrow, the prime minister will set out a road map for how england might leave the covid lockdown. and today, one of boris johnson's cabinet ministers said the government would proceed with extreme caution. importantly, it is true to say that moving beyond covid will be a gradual process, not a single leap to freedom. so, when we do emerge, the world will seem quite different. the aviation industry is one of many reeling from the impact of the current coronavirus restrictions. airlines in the uk say they have been told the government will bring in a 14—day quarantine for anyone arriving from any country apart from the republic of ireland. if this is the scientific advice, then absolutely we will accept that. the health and safety of our passengers is paramount, but this will have a, you know, significant impact

on our sector. nobody‘s going to want to travel if they have to go into quarantine for 14 days. secretary of state, can you confirm that anyone flying into uk airports will be told to quarantine for 14 days from the start of next month? a lot of people will wonder why this wasn't done weeks ago. now we have a situation where, as we get the r number — the reproduction number — down in the uk and we begin to get things under control, and we now have the capacity, as we just discussed, in testing as well, it clearly then makes sense to look at what happens at the borders. i can't confirm is the answer. you will have to wait for the prime minister tomorrow night. the prime ministerfirst announced the current lockdown less than seven weeks ago. you should not be meeting friends. if your friends ask you to meet, you should say no. you should not be meeting family members who do not live in your home. you should not be going shopping except for essentials, like food and medicine. like everyone, boris johnson

is weighing up risk — the need to protect the economy and people's liberty against the fear of a resurgent disease. ben wright, bbc news. the brazilian president, jair bolsonaro has been criticised for riding a jetski on a lake as the national congress announced three days of official mourning for victims of the pandemic. it comes as the death toll in brazil has now recorded more than 10,000 deaths. and the world famous maracana football stadium in rio de janeiro has been repurposed as a coronavirus hospital. the health minister has been to visit the new facility which aims to provide around 400 beds in what is latin america's worst hit country. let's get more on the situation in brazil with journalist gustavo ribeiro. he's the co—founder of the english—language news site the brazilian report. thank you very much for being with us. let's start with the president, bolsonaro, images on

social media circulating of him ona social media circulating of him on a jet ski in the middle of this crisis. what has the reaction to that been? well, the reaction has been overwhelmingly negative towards bolsonaro. he has been facing criticism for a few days on april 28, when asked about the rising death toll of covid, he said, so what? what do you want me to do? then, yesterday, he said that he was sweating and doing a barbecue today in the presidential residence. he then ended up backpedalling are not hosting the barbecue. then, as you set a little while ago, he wrote on a jet ski and met with a few people on a boat who were doing themselves a barbecue. he disrespected social distancing recommendations that his own health ministry said, and just talk to them very close to these people. and once again said that brazil should be more

worried about reigniting the economy again and protecting jobs because if the economy tanks, mortality rates in rozelle will rise. so his point, much research does say that when we have a big drop in gdp in brazil, we have people having less access to healthcare and having less access to healthy habits and a precarious drop in conditions that will indeed lead to mortality rates going up. brazil is one of the hardest hit latin american countries, talk me through the figures and what you make of them. well, the figures are massively understated. like you said, we have reached the 10,000 dead mark and that is only the official numbers because the truth is, we have not been testing enough. we have been testing enough. we have been testing 1600 people per million

inhabitants which is 33 times less tha n inhabitants which is 33 times less than spain has tested. in some states, the back logs of tests of untested patients reaches almost 100,000 people. a lot of studies have estimated between two and 11.2 million people who may have already been infected. 0f people who may have already been infected. of course, those are estimates. but the truth is that there are signs everywhere to be found that the figures are understated. and the health minister himself said it we and a half ago that brazil was like a half ago that brazil was like a boat flying blind through the crisis. thank you very much for talking to us. to switzerland now — where the coronavirus pandemic has highlighted the poverty faced by many people, in one of the world's richest countries. switzerland is famous for its private banks and luxury watchmakers but for weeks hundreds of people have been turning to food banks for vital supplies.

rich preston has this report. as in many parts of the world, the coronavirus pandemic has hit poorer people the hardest. even here in switzerland, per capita the ninth richest country in the world. in geneva, this ice rink has been converted to a food bank. volunteers sorting basic supplies for those in need. on saturday, people began lining up at 5am. by the time doors opened at 9am, the queue was over a kilometre long. last week, organisers said 2,000 people had attended. swiss officials sayjust over 500,000 people in the country live in poverty, but the current crisis has exacerbated their problem, putting an immediate stop on many wages. translation: communities of workers in the domestic economy and catering have existed for a very long time. this crisis brings them out

because they are people who are paid by their work immediately. so if there is a lockdown, people cannot go to work and they won't receive money. many of those in need are migrants working in restaurants, cafes and homes. translation: at the end of the month, my pockets will be empty. we have bills to pay, insurance, everything. so we will feel it at the end of the month. this food distribution is great because there is food for a week, which is a week of relief. switzerland's story isn't unique. but on one side of town, luxury watchmakers and jewellery shops, the offices of the united nations and the world bank, whilstjust a few kilometres away, hundreds queue up for basic food, bags of pasta, tins of soup. here, it is perhaps more stark. rich preston, bbc news. now the united states is by far the country ha rdest—hit by coronavirus — but within it,

the state of hawaii has a relatively low number of infections — with just over 600 cases. however, the economic impacts has been felt hard — the island state gets the bulk of its income fom tourism — an industry devestated by the crisis. tom george is a reporter for kitvii island news. he joins us from honolulu. thank you very much for being with us. we all know right around the world hawaii is full, relies on tourism, but of course with people not being able to travel, what are the impacts their? well, that is the catch—22. that is what a lot of wines are having. we have this mandatory quarantine and state leaders here have really had to balance the health of the island community with having tourist. as you said, we rely on tourism and really are the only state that has this really strict and coming through because basically, what this originated from was that the federal

government can't actually ban travel. what they did instead was get rid of any incentive you would have to come to hawaii. that is why they have this mandatory 1a day quarantine. basically what happens is, soon as you land, you get a form and they try and find out where you're staying. and they say you have you stay in quarantine for 1h days. so far, what we've been seeing is it has actually been working. yesterday we had no cases in the state, only three new cases since yesterday. so, a really low number that we have been seeing so far but the flipside of that, she mentioned, as the economy. we have some people who are saying this is working, we need to not keep doing this so we can get things reopened again but that is the flipside of this. we are so reliant on tourism that the big question is, people are really struggling here right now because we have a lot of people unemployed, more than 30% had been unemployed. so this is really been an economic crisis herein hawaii. i've been seeing over the last couple of days, these drive roots, these are

centrally food banks where people have been donating food and people —— drive through, turning up in their cars and collecting what they need. that's right. we have some people who are... and of course we have people rely on tourism, working in working in waikiki and the results. they found themselves unemployed, some of them for the first time in their lives finding themselves in these food lines. that is the catch—22 at this point. the state is focused on increasing testing to trainees back into the economy by the last thing we wa nt the economy by the last thing we want is to, because we are of course an island, reopen tourism and get rid of all of the progress we have seen so far. if we open the floodgates and let torres, again, we could be back to square one. the same time, hawaii is one of the most pensive states to live in in the country. a lot of people already living paycheck to paycheck and adding this into the equation, people are really struggling at the moment. at the same time, you have people saying let's ease back into this and get the economy open again. tom, we wish you and eve ryo ne again. tom, we wish you and everyone else there well. give very much for your time. thank

you. this is bbc news, our top story this hour: the former us president, barack 0bama, has described his successor‘s handling of the coronavirus pandemic as "an absolute chaotic disaster". let's stay with that now — celinda lake, is a political strategist who has advised many democratic party candidates — and is currently working with thejoe biden campaign. i asked her what she made of mr 0bama's reported comments. they are stark and unprecedented. the former president has never spoken out like this. and it reflects, and i think really crystallises, what people say about president john's leadership in this crisis. he has been erratic, he has been unprepared, and he has been egotistical. and the american public has faced the consequences, and people of colour have protect heavily paid for consequences. but

having said that, he has chimes with a certain segment of public opinion, for example, on the drive to reopen states earned and the lockdowns. yes, he has faced criticism for that, but lots of people support him on that. not lots of people. 62% of the people say lockdown is going to fast and that help should be prioritised over the economy. now, of course americans would like to get moving and we are the instant open culture, so we would always like something to happen right away. but it is really been remarkable, the degree to which people think, ‘no, we should do this the right way. where is the testing? why are we still not prepared?‘ and there should be a thoughtful and not erratic approach, not an egotistical approach. what impact do you think this pandemic will have on the election? well, right now, the president has negative drought performance and his performance on covid is negative as well. the two have really meshed together. the question is, do people

think he does a betterjob in the recovery? if he does a recovery that is erratic and ill—prepa red and does not work with governors and mayors, then we're going to have another recurrence and then the problem will really, the public will really give up on him and say there is time for a change. president putin has led russia's commemorations of the defeat of nazi germany in the second world war, 75 years ago. the traditional military parade was cancelled because of the coronavirus, as steve rosenberg reports. in the skies over moscow, a display of power... ..and patriotism. victory day is always the day russia showcases itself as a great nation. but this year, something was different. down below, red square was empty.

no troops or military hardware. the main parade postponed due to coronavirus. russia is determined to make this a big celebration despite the pandemic. victory day is the country's most important national holiday, when russians remember not only the defeat of nazi germany but also the human cost of victory. president putin honoured fallen heroes and faced with a new threat — a virus — he called for national unity. "we know", he says, "that when we stand together, we are invincible." talking of invincible, in neighbouring belarus, president lu kashenko refused to cancel his victory day parade, despite belarus having one of the highest growth rates of coronavirus infections in europe. back in russia, they've gone to great lengths

to congratulate all the veterans locked down at home. instead of sending a card, the army sent this local hero a rocket launcher to his front door. 93—year—old vladimir doesn't need a rocket launcher — all he wants is for the pandemic to end. "the war was terrible", he says. "but at least we knew how to defeat the enemy. "no—one knows how to beat this virus." russia is proud of its victory in the war. it's hoping it can win this battle too. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. as much of the world continues to live under lockdown, the fiancee of the murdered saudi journalistjamal khashoggi has said england's premier football league should consider ethical values

before allowing the sale of newcastle united to a saudi—backed consortium. the saudi crown prince, mohammed bin salman chairs the investment fund that would most likely finance the takeover. the prince is suspected by western intelligence agencies of involvement in the killing of mr khashoggi at the saudi consulate in istanbul in 2018. as much of the world continues to live under lockdown, in some places life is almost getting back to normal. the pandemic began in china, but — if officials there are to be believed — the virus is now under control. and that means some shops and businesses are re—opening, as the bbc‘s tim allman reports. in the battle to burn calories and build muscles, mr lu has some catching up to do. for three months, his city was in lockdown and his gym was out of bounds. but not anymore. translation: during the outbreak i felt my whole body slowdown. but after coming back to the gym, i've been able to

get my circulation going and get my circulation going and get my circulation going and get my muscles flexed again. this kind of feels fantastic. gyms across beijing have been allowed to reopen, but only under strict conditions. temperatures are ta ken under strict conditions. temperatures are taken when you enter and everyone has to wear a mask stop i treated as a form of resistance training, says this man. it's not a big deal. ican take this man. it's not a big deal. i can take it. social distancing is being enforced, and hygiene a top priority. the hope is that improved physical fitness will help in the fight against covid—19. translation: i really hope that all those fellow gym owners can keep going somehow, because this sector does have a lot of potential. when it comes to getting the nation fit in resisting this epidemic, i think our sector should keep going. only certain businesses have been allowed to open their doors, and many people are still working and exercising at

home. the final destination is getting back to normal, there is plenty of distance still to run. the self—proclaimed "architect of rock ‘n' roll" richard penniman, better known as little richard, has died of bone cancer at the age of 87. in a statement his lawyer said "little richard passed away this morning in tennessee. he was loved by his family and adored by millions". david sillito looks back at his life. # wop—bop—a—loo—mop alop—bom—bom. # tutti frutti, oh rutti.# little richard and tutti frutti — nothing had sounded quite like this before. and while it would be going too far to say he invented rock and roll, he was certainly one of the founding fathers. i wanted to sound different. me and the young kids, we was tired of all those slow tracks, we wanted to boogie. lucille, long tall sally, good golly miss molly, his run of hits became rock and roll standards. of course, in 1950s america, his songs often reached a bigger audience when covered by white artists.

did you know that elvis presley and pat boone sold more of tutti frutti than i did? and then, in 1957, he quit music to become a preacher. the tussle between god and the devil's music was a lifelong battle. # lucille, baby, satisfy my heart. but he soon returned to the stage, and all around him — the beatles, the stones, james brown — you could see his influence everywhere. 0ffstage, his private life was even wilder. but those who worked with him remember him with warmth. what you saw on stage and television, he was that way offstage. he was the king of the one—liners. he would always make you laugh. he had a beautiful heart. all the rock and roll legend stuff aside, he was a good man. and his place in musical history — we'll leave the last word to the man himself.

i'm the king of rock and roll! my, my, my, my, ijust had to do that and i feel so much better i got it out! # tutti frutti, oh rutti. # awop—bop—a—loo—mop alop—bam—boom. # little richard, richard penniman, who has died at the age of 87. with zoos and aquariums closed to visitors in countries across the world, some animals are getting there's more on all our stories on our website. you can also read this article written by one of the bbc‘s producers on how he used technology to stay in touch with his dying mother in hospital. she'd needed urgent surgery but had also been kept in isolation due to suspected covid—19. there's a guide to the technology he used to comfort her in her last waking moments at the bottom of the page. don't forget, you can get in touch with me and some of the team on twitter. i'm @lvaughanjones.

hello. it's hard to overstate just how different our weather will be by the end of sunday, certainly in the feel of things out there as it turns much colder across the uk. the cold accentuated by a strengthening wind as well. more cloud around, too, the chance of seeing a bit of rain. sunday begins with the cold air already in place in scotland, and then it surges south across the uk. cold arctic air coming our way, so very different from what we've had. now, these are the temperatures to start the day. already frosty across northern scotland, even a bit of snow lying to relatively low levels in some spots. icy in places, too. and early rain towards southern scotland and northern ireland will gradually clear away, and over scotland and northern ireland into the afternoon, it's sunny spells, a few wintry showers

peppering northern scotland. cloud and some patchy spreads south across england and wales. a chance, too, of seeing a bit of rain just brushing the far south—east, sussex and kent in particular, maybe the odd heavy shower for the channel islands and the far south—west. now, the winds are picking up all the while as the cold air moves south, gusting 30—110 mph, even a bit stronger towards north sea coasts and through the english channel later in the day. and temperatures to end the day in the range mainly of 6—10 degrees celsius, feeling colder in the wind. and even towards the south, where you end the day still with temperatures towards the high teens, the cold air does move in during sunday evening. and it's largely clear overnight and into monday morning bringing one or two wintry showers towards some north sea coasts. and temperatures dipping away to give on monday morning a widespread frostjust away from some windier spots across parts of eastern and southern england. and on monday, there will be some sunny spells around, but still the brisk and cold wind, still a chance of seeing a few showers that could be

wintry in nature towards northern and eastern scotland along some north sea coasts. temperatures look as if they've come up a little bit on monday, but particularly in that wind, it will still feel cold, and especially compared with what it's been like out there. high pressure close by throughout the week ahead, but the air still coming in from a chilly direction. frosty nights at least to start the week, so gardeners and growers take note. the cold wind will gradually ease. temperatures edge up a little bit, but still getting nowhere near where they've been.

this is bbc news, the headlines: president trump's handling of the pandemic has been described by his predecessor, barack 0bama, as "an absolute chaotic disaster". in a conference call with his former staffers mr 0bama accused the current administration of having a mindset of ‘what‘s in it for me and to heck with everyone else'. the british government says emerging from lockdown will be a gradual process, and the public should remember it's not a single leap to freedom. it comes as the prime minister boris johnson prepares to address the nation on sunday evening, to set out the next phase in tackling the pandemic. the self—proclaimed "architect of rock ‘n' roll" richard penniman, better known as little richard, has died. the legendary singer built his ground—breaking sound with a blend of boogie—woogie, rhythm and blues, and gospel.
