of the challenges ahead. for those that have been closed completely, reopening will mean a whole new rethink. tim muffett, bbc news. this is bbc news, i'm simon mccoy. the headlines... time for a look at the weather. health care leaders in england are warning of "severe here's darren bett. consequences" if a test, track and trace strategy to avoid a potential second surge in coronavirus cases, isn't finalised soon. it's warm today, not as warm as they don't know how they're going to interact with this completely separate operation yesterday, mind you and it will cool that is being set up off over the next few days. we are in terms of tracers, infora then effectively we're going to kind off over the next few days. we are in for a spell of stronger winds and of miss a whole bunch rainfor in for a spell of stronger winds and rain for some although not of opportunities. necessarily where it's needed most. this cloud didn't bring much rain. a deal has been agreed this cloud didn't bring much rain. on the supply of antibody tests, this looks more threatening, a deep which will be available on the nhs, area of low pressure and it will with health and care workers first bring wet and windy weather. we'll in line to receive them start to see high cloud in western areas later. that's all that's left scotland's first minister announces an easing of lockdown restrictions — of the earlier rain heading into but says they must be cautious. north—east scotland so for many of its it's going to be dry and sunny. we view them as a proportionate and suitably cautious set for northern and western areas not as warm as yesterday but we are still making 27 in the south—east in the sunshine. it should be a fine

end to the day for many others. through the latter part of this evening and overnight the winds start to pick up. we blow in this band of rain northwards and eastwards, still dry in the south—east and east anglia, where temperatures are going to be particularly warm. if you are hoping for some rain here you may be a bit disappointed tomorrow morning because the weather front is going to be weakening as it tracks eastwards. most of the rain and the stronger winds will be closer to the area of low pressure. rainfall accumulations from friday, saturday and into sunday show very little rain in the south—east at all. it's much wetter further west and north, with a focus of some heavy rain over a month's rain in the highlands of scotland, and for a while northern parts of the uk will be particularly windy as well. this is the picture as we head into friday. you can see the band of rain soon moves away from the uk and there won't be much rainfor from the uk and there won't be much rain for eastern england. then we get the sunshine following, showers blown in particularly into scotland and northern ireland stop where the winds will be gusting 50—60 miles an

hour. temperatures above par in scotla nd hour. temperatures above par in scotland and northern ireland as temperatures continue to drop away in eastern england, 22—23d. as we head into the weekend we've still got that area of low pressure close to northern areas, keeping the strong winds going, gales and places and some more wet weather too particularly for the north—west of scotland. some showers will get blown into northern ireland, england and wales. a few may get into eastern areas but on the whole they'll be mainly affecting the western side of the uk. it will be a windy day and it continues to cool off for many parts of the country, highs of 19 degrees. more about whether to come overnight into the northern half of the uk, particularly affecting scotland but away from here it should be generally dry. there will be some sunshine. it won't be as windy on sunday as temperatures recovering to 22-23d. a reminder of our top story. a warning that time is running out to finalise a test, track and trace strategy that would avoid a potential second

surge in coronavirus cases. if they don't know how they're going to interact with this completely separate operation that is being set up in terms of tracers, then effectively we're going to kind of miss a whole bunch of opportunities. that's all from the bbc news at one. it's goodbye from me. on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. from me, good afternoon. good afternoon, it's 1:30, and here's your latest sports news. the premier league has been warned that players who opt against a return to action could prevent football's top flight from restarting this season, that's according to one former player. non—contact training's resumed with players from clubs working together in small groups with a view to the league restarting onjune i2th. but watford's troy deeney

and chelsea's n'golo kante arejust two players who have opted against a return due to fears over coronavirus. data from the office of national statistics found those from a bame background are twice as likely to die from covid—i9, and marvin sordell says their concerns need to be taken seriously. i think that is something that cannot be ignored and i think that is why the players have been a part of the consultation as well as doctors. i think that is a big factor, because at the end of the day everyone can say yes that is ok, but if the players are not co mforta ble but if the players are not comfortable they do not want to play. nobody wants a situation where things are set up to start and somebody comes down the line and says i am not quite comfortable with this. some england cricketers are back in training this afternoon. up to 18 bowlers, will take part

in sessions this week across seven grounds. all sessions will involve players, socially distancing, with temprature checks in place and strict rules over cleaning equipment. batsmen and wicketkeepers will return next month. for the muslim community, it's the holy month of ramadan and many who are fasting under lockdown face new challenges. but imagine if you're an athlete in training who's burning up to 6,000 calories a day. olympic champion moe sbihi is doing just that, as he aims to defend his title at the now postponed games in tokyo. he spoke to our reporter rhia chohan. so you're allowed to drink water, right? i wish. so you're allowed to drink water, right? iwish. fora huge so you're allowed to drink water, right? iwish. for a huge portion so you're allowed to drink water, right? i wish. for a huge portion of the muslim community, ramadan has looked a little different during the lockdown, especially for this olympic champion is not normally able to take part at training camps.

people have been losing their lives, it is irresponsible of me to want to race right now, so it is nice to be able to connect with my faith, to fast and not train. that means no drinking or eating during daylight, that could be up to 19 hours, this is difficult for him because he burns up to 6000 calories a day. the most that i have lost in a day is up to three kilos. i have a massive bowl of cereal, smoothie, i try to get as much calorific food and as possible. i try to get back to sleep, last night i felt like my internal organs were about to explode. it is almost sunset, which means those taking part world surely be able to break their fast, under

normal circumstances it is something that would be quite sociable and done as a community. the whole joy of this as well is going to different families or to different houses. it is a time that you want to celebrate with loved ones and give family members a hug. this is also a month of self reflection, and mentally it has had a positive effect on him and has reinvigorated him. it is been tough during the lockdown period when you're by yourself through those dark times, so when it is like that, you know the goal is still there. ramadan is more about abstaining from food, it is about faith and dedication, and it may just power is about faith and dedication, and it mayjust power him to another podium. absolutely, the now delayed olympic games very much the focus.

that is all for now, i will had to back to london. today on bbc news we're looking at how the global travel industry has been affected by the pandemic. we'll be asking when and where tourism may be able to resume, and what your rights are as a consumer. so how advanced are the plans to kick—start the tourism industry in europe? greece has international charter flights to popular locations resuming injuly. at the moment, france allows only essential travel from abroad. it hasn't said when its foreign tourist ban will be lifted. spain has started loosening restrictions, but the beaches will be open to tourists before barcelona or madrid. italy eased its lockdown restrictions this week, with bars and restaurants open again, and st peter's basilica available to visitors. and here in the uk, the government said this week that holidays within the country could return as early as the beginning ofjuly. sonia davies is the chief executive

of the luxury tour operator scott dunn and joins me now via skype from east sussex. what is your understanding of how things will resume and win? what is your understanding of how things will resume and win7|j what is your understanding of how things will resume and win? i think it is fairto things will resume and win? i think it is fair to say, as you are just gone through, that it is a patchwork being enacted around europe and around the rest of the world. as governments are wrestling with how to open up their country safely, they also have to kick—start their economies, especially where toryism isa economies, especially where toryism is a big factor. so i think at the moment, it is still unclear. —— tourism is a big factor. are you getting an indication that people are saying that they might not bother to go abroad? that is definitely not the case, i think one of the things that is coming out of this lockdown period is that people are still dreaming of one thing to go away. how they are wanting to

travel might change in the short term. people are looking for time in the outdoors, time where they might not be surrounded by lots of people, so we're getting questions and from our customers to go to africa, to go skiing, to explore nature. they are looking for options such as private residences where you still have the benefits of hotel service a's, looking at yachts. but i inc. it is fairto looking at yachts. but i inc. it is fair to say that people do still wa nt to fair to say that people do still want to get away. do you think people will wait for prices to go down? not really, ithink people will wait for prices to go down? not really, i think what we are exploring is trying to figure out what our guests are looking for, because what each one of us one from our holiday is quite different. there's a lot of talk about whether prices will go up or down, and what we are seeing in the airline industry is that there is an expectation that capacity will be reduced in the short term, which may have an impact on pricing. the

uncertainty of everything, particularly over this quarantine period, that will affect everybody who goes abroad. absolutely, for our industry, which is a big employer, so one in ten people globally are employed in the tourism sector, and in the uk tourism represents a big portion of the economy. it is a challenge, we need to understand exactly how the quarantine process will work. there's talk air bridges, andi will work. there's talk air bridges, and i think we are all looking for clarity and time frames so that we can all plan as consumers and businesses with confidence. the optimists are looking to the bounce back, to the return to some sort of normality, how quickly could that happen with the travel industry, given that we do not know how quickly people can get back on flights? at the moment they

handbrake remains fairly on for the travel industry, and i think the government is looking at how they can reopen things safely and the importance of testing, tracking and tracing cannot be underestimated. i think what we are all looking for a certainty. certainty around what the quarantine means, when the advice will lift against all but essential travel, and then i think we will see people quickly return to travel in the way that they know and love. thank you so much for your time. let's get more on contact tracing — a test, track and trace system used to slow the spread of infectious diseases like coronavirus. it's already being used in hong kong, singapore and germany. in england, the government is under pressure to quickly establish a system. it says 25,000 contact tracers will be in place byjune to track contacts over phone and email. another way of tracing is by using

a location—tracking mobile app. the app the uk hopes to roll out soon, it is currently being trialled on the isle of wight. megan mackney lives there and has been using the app —— she spoke to my colleague martine croxall earlier. about a day ago i had a notification that says i have been the are someone who has coronavirus symptoms. how much more information did you get? it said read what to do next and follow this advice until the 2nd ofjune. when you tap on it, what you get is the basic government... if you can see that, the basic government guidelines for everybody. so there was no talk about self isolation for seven days, just following the basic requirements, which i am already doing. i can imagine after these

weeks you can almost recite them off the top of your head. what would you have expected to have been told?|j expected to have been told to self—isolate for seven days, seeing asi self—isolate for seven days, seeing as i had apparently come in contact with somebody with the symptoms. and also perhaps be offered a test. you weren't offered a test? know, all that was given to me it was the advice that we are all supposed to be following. i will let you ssa, i will not get involved in that, —— assess that. how alarming was it to get that notification? it was pretty alarming because i have been following the social distancing, i live high up on a cliff and i go to the shops maybe once a week, maybe twice a week if i have run out of something. we go for walks, but we

social distance, we make sure we are two metres away from everybody stop soi two metres away from everybody stop so i have been following the government's advice. we have not driven away to beauty spots or anything, so yes, it was a little worrying. the only thing i can think is that perhaps there was somebody in the supermarket, because a way that people go around the supermarket, people tend to ignore it, so you are faithfully following the that's and somebody comes the other way. but that would be surprising, but because it is quite passing contact, you would not have been up close within two metres for any real length of time. no, i haven't been close to anybody for any real length of time as far as i am aware who has got the symptoms. not anybody that i know, i don't think anyway. we thought we might know who it was, but they phoned iii and they went for a test and it was

negative. so you try to do your own track and tracing innocence smack yeah when i saw it, i thought, who could that be, so we thought it might be this friend of ours, and he said that he thought he was ill so he got a test, and the test was negative. the world health organization says latin america is currently the epicentre of the pandemic. attention has largely been focussed on brazil which has now authorised the use of two anti—malarial drugs to treat covid—i9, despite the absence of any firm evidence that they work. rich preston has this report on how the rest of the continent is coping with coronavirus. lockdown remains in place among a lot of latin america with the spread of coronavirus. they are little more sophisticated rules with the drones,

they are looking for people with a fever, and if it spots someone with a high temperature, it sends a location to a control room so a medical team can be dispatched to find the person and test them for the virus. columbia's neighbour to the virus. columbia's neighbour to the south, peru, has the second—highest toll from covid—i9 in latin america. in the capital, lima, a protest by these hospital workers demanding more protective equipment. they are saying they have not been given the tools they need to do theirjobs given the tools they need to do their jobs safely. there given the tools they need to do theirjobs safely. there are already many infected workers, many dead, there is not the security. in chile, which has reported more than 500 coronavirus deaths, there is concern about the environmental impact. it is one of latin americans biggest producers of rubbish, very little is recycled, what is half to be taken to central drop points. with the

country under lockdown, very few people are doing that. translation: the drop in recycling has been shocking, as you can see here the quantity of material was impressive every time that we have come here. it is now drop severely. the long—term impact remains unclear, with hospitals badly affected, food shortages reported in some areas, and towards them all but wiped out, there are fears that the virus will leave its mark on the continent long after it has gone. in afghanistan, civilian casualties at the hands of both the taliban and the government's security forces are on the rise, that's according to the un, which is calling for a reduction in violence as the country tries to grapple with the spread of the coronavirus. our chief international correspondent lyse doucet, has more. a fight on two fronts, a hospital on fire in kabul

last week as they battle against the deadly virus. a time of body armour and facemasks. trying to protect themselves against a new enemy. we have spoken to doctors across the country. there is not enough of this ppe to keep them safe. a doctor in kabul, back at work after recovering from covid—i9 did not want to be identified. translation: there is a big crisis at the moment. we have lost three good doctors this week because of covid—i9. they were in contact with the patients suspected of having it. they did not have good enough ppe. sadly, they are not amongst us today. there is a corona crisis now in afghanistan. a house in morning.

this man lost his brother, faisal, a businessman. a sister, and his brother, yousef, a doctor, the first to be tested for covid—i9 by a system which failed the entire family. translation: i told the doctor that if my brother's test was positive, why didn't you call us? they told us they made a mistake. then they tested all of us, but after 13 days of waiting, my first brother died. then another brother and sister died, and we still haven't got our test results after one and a half months. he took to facebook to vent his fury. shaming senior officials into helping him. the government says it is doing what it can. they are absolutely right.

people have died because of no testing equipment and our health infrastructure was not designed to cope with a hyper event like the coronavirus pandemic. this caught us by surprise. a nation in the mix of violence and fighting. there is a lockdown, but it is not strict. in a country where millions live hand to mouth, hunger is seen as a deadly threat. many already hurting. translation: i'm not scared of coronavirus, but i'm afraid of hunger. coronavirus won't kill us, but we will definitely die from hunger. in some mosques, they keep a safe distance in the muslim holy month of ramadan. in others, they believe only god can save them from their enemies. this invisible enemy may already be spreading fast, next door to iran,

the region's epicentre. but there aren't enough tests to know. for now, in this emergency hospital close to taliban front lines, the old war still takes the heaviest toll. doctors treat victims of violence. the disease is not expected to reach its peakfor a month or more, and many worry that the worst may be yet to come. some breaking news coming in from downing street, we are hearing that britain has deal to acquire antibody test. in those tests will be free and available to some care workers initially, they will be prioritised. this news is just initially, they will be prioritised. this news isjust coming in, the health secretary at matt hancock will be giving more details during his briefing later. now, public health england recently gave the go—ahead to the antibody test. the blood test looks for antibodies to see if somebody has already had the

coronavirus and might now have some immunity, only recently where the test given the go—ahead because until now, officials had said that such tests were unreliable. the government has already spent £60 million buying antibody tests that we re million buying antibody tests that were an effective, but the deal has now been done to acquire those new tests a nd now been done to acquire those new tests and they will be free to help and care workers will be prioritised with those tests. more on that on the daily news briefing which is done by the health secretary later. that is the latest from downing street. one thing we hear from those who've lost a loved one during the pandemic is that they want them to be remembered for who they were, not just as another statistic. when eloise's father kim passed away with covid—i9, she wanted everybody‘s memory of him to be his love of magic, and turned to the local community to help make it happen. fiona trott has been to meet her.

pick a card, any card. picka card, any card. a pick a card, any card. a trick taught by her dad, he loved magic, so now family are learning some too. he loved it, i spoke to one of his friends about it, and he said that my dad would be loving this, and he would. he was so funny, just a presentation of it made me laugh.|j wonder if you can levitate and go uphill? amazing, you cannot go uphill? amazing, you cannot go uphill the other way, can you. and for any friends that might need it, lessons from a professional. they are dad helped the local magic shop go online, he wanted to keep the business going during lockdown. you're going to have to be a bit louder than that. hello there, how

are you? it is owned by his friend mark. in the times that living two, the eight usual grieving process is not the same, so i'm trying to find strength and other things, keeping magic going has helped me go on. and i know his family have even got there magic going as well. i've been around magic for over 25 years. cheers, let's keep the magic going. if you see a magic trick, you cannot help but smile. i always thought that i did not understand why my dad did magic, but he got a smile out of everyone and every memory i have of my dad is him smiling. anything as a

result of the magic. every day we hear about the rising number of people who have died with coronavirus — and now being remembered go to bbc dot co dot uk forward—slash news to see tributes paid by family, friends and colleagues to some of those who have died.there is also a form where you can add your own tribute if you have lost someone to the virus. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello there, warm today, but not quite as warm as it was yesterday. we're going funny smell of windy weather, there will be some rain, but not necessarily where it is needed most of all. this band of cloud here did not bring very much rain today. this cloud looks more threatening, it is an area of low pressure with some wet and windy weather to come. that rain start submission to the western side of the uk late into this evening and overnight. as a wins pick—up, that wrangles north into scotland as

well. still dry overnight east anglia on the southeast, particularly warm here as well. in these areas, you're probably hoping to see some rain, but the problem is that the weather front that is driving that rain is weakening as it goes east. the most of the wet and windy weather will be closer to that deep area of low pressure. so this isa deep area of low pressure. so this is a year that rainfall accumulations over the course of friday, saturday and into sunday. literal or no rain towards the southeast, but more in the north and the focus of the rain in the highlands. it will also be very windy for a while as well. we start on friday with the wedges weather in scotland, it is a narrowing line of rain running across eastern england. once i clears in the morning, the sunshine returns. there will be some showers boning, mainly for scotland and northern ireland. but it is here that we have the strongest winds of 50 or 60 mph. that will make it feel quite cooler, but we are still looking at temperatures of teen or i7 looking at temperatures of teen or 17 degrees. the higher temperatures

up 17 degrees. the higher temperatures up to 22 degrees on friday. we have more windy and wet weather coming in without low—pressure into the start of the weekend, so wet weather continuing over the northwest of scotland, other pricing rain as well, and there will be some showers blown in across england and wales stop if you make it to eastern areas, but it still will be dry, those areas are getting cooler, towards 18 or 19 degrees. there will be more rain to come during saturday night and into sunday morning. during sunday, the rain will ease off, and it will not be quite as windy, but for many parts of the uk outside of scotland it will be dry with some sunshine. dosimeters will get a boost up to 22 or 23 degrees. —— mike those temperatures will get 00:28:49,457 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 a boost.
