this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. i'm martine croxall. the british government is coming under further pressure after the prime minister's top adviser is accused of breaching lockdown rules — twice. funerals take place in pakistan after the plane crash in a residential area of karachi that killed 97 people. spain continues to ease its lockdown. tourists can travel to the country again from july and top—flight football will resume next month. guernsey will become the first part of the british isles to lift nearly all its lockdown restrictions.

boris johnson minister's chief aide dominic cummings, is facing new claims that he breached lockdown rules. earlier, he and the government insisted he'd acted "reasonably and legally" by driving 260 miles from london to durham in march while his wife had coronavirus. ministers said they'd chosen to self—isolate at a property adjacent to other family members in case they needed help with childcare. however, tonight the bbc‘s spoken to a man who claims to have seen him at another location 30 miles away in mid april. downing street say the story is ‘inaccurate'. here's our political correspondent iain watson. you're supposed to be more than two metres apart. borisjohnson's senior adviser, dominic cummings, lecturing reporters on social—distancing, but his opponents accuse him of breaking the lockdown rules himself. when his wife became ill at the end of march, he,

she and their four—year—old child didn't self—isolate at their london home, but travelled more than 250 miles — to county durham. well, it's a question of doing the right thing. it's not about what you guys think. the government's guidance on self—isolation says... if you live with others and you're the first in the household to have symptoms of coronavirus, then you must stay at home for at least seven days, but all other household members who remain well must stay at home and not leave the house for m days. but in a statement, downing street set out to explain why borisjohnson's adviser didn't stay at home. "it was essential for dominic cummings to ensure his young child could be properly cared for," it says. "his sister and nieces had volunteered to help, so he went to a house near to but separate from his extended family, in case their help was needed." it added, "his actions were in line with coronavirus guidelines. mr cummings believes he behaved reasonably and legally. " durham police were made aware he was there from

the 31st and somebody spoke to his father. he confirmed dominic cummings had travelled from london and was self—isolating at part of the property. the police deemed no further action was necessary but did provide advice on security issues. so, where does this leave the government's stay—at—home guidance now? is the advice now to parents that if you don't have your own extended family nearby, even when you're ill with covid symptoms, you're allowed to leave your home, travel many miles across the country and isolate closer to your extended family? look, the important thing is that everyone remains in the same place whilst they're locked down, which is exactly what happened i think in the case that you are referring to with mrcummings. so, the prime minister will have known he was staying put and he didn't come out again until he was feeling better. but he did travel 250

miles from his london home, did he not. but he did travel 250 miles from his london home, did he not? in the guidance, it says if you are living with children, keep following this advice to the best of your ability. however, we are aware that not all these measures will be possible — depending, therefore, on circumstances, i'm adding those last few words. senior ministers have defended dominic cummings, but there have been calls for his resignation from some opponents. dominic cummings should have resigned and done the right thing, but now that he hasn't, boris johnson must show leadership and remove him from office immediately. a lot of people have been struggling through this pandemic and sticking by the rules, we have care workers moving into care homes, hospital staff staying in hotels. and they've struggled not seeing their families and have adhered by the rules and he's broken them. it's just so irresponsible. downing street denied reports tonight dominic cummings had returned to downing street from london last month

after he recovered. and there is a claim on the observer dominic cummings was seen in a beauty spot about 30 miles from durham when he was apparently self—isolating. this isn't just about this isn'tjust about dominic cummings but about the guidelines to follow. and why the rules to new street apply to downing street. with more on those fresh allegations in the observer and sunday mirror, i've been speaking to our correspondent, nick beake. the first claim i was easter sunday so if we cast our minds back to april the 12th, someone has told the newspaper that mr cummings and his family were in fact 30 miles from the property in durham where he was apparently self isolating. before hand the assumption was he had been there. at this particular location 30 miles away and robin leach who is a retired chemistry teacher told the two newspapers he was gob smacked to see

the top number ten aid they are on easter sunday. i was able to talk to him this evening and he said yes, he stands by what he told the newspapers. and he was able to, in his own mind, be sure that it was mr cummings because he took a note of the number plate. the car that the cummings family he thought were using. he said he was able to find a photograph online and the first five characters of the number plate matched. to him it was a vehicle he saw with his own eyes matching a vehicle in the photograph photograph with mr cummings. as far as he's concerned he confident the man mr cummings. not at the property he said he was staying up at 30 miles away. we've also had durham police issue a statement which contradicts what's downing street had said on saturday morning. yes, this is something that the labour party of picking up on. they're talking about potential inconsistencies in the reaction from downing street.

specifically we were told that mr cummings and his family were at a property near where his family are. they were staying in house near his extended family. apparently his sister was providing supplies which wereleft outside. in accordance with the rules. now saying this was part of his father's property for that we have it at the exact layout of what it's like they are but the update from the police in durham is he was staying in a part of his father's property. that's what the labour party have seized upon showing another inconsistency in the story the chronology of all this suggests that at some point dominic cummings came back to london and then went back to durham? yeah, that is the second of the two new allegations tonight. that is that on the 19th of apriercummings

was spotted again in the northeast in durham. this is crucial because it was days after had been photographed in london having apparently recovered from the virus. so of course the lockdown measures were still in place. if that is the case why was he back in the northeast of england having apparently recovering from coronavirus? the acting leader of the democrats has been speaking on bbc radio saying is going back if dominic cummings has not been sacked by tomorrow i think the prime ministers judgement is in serious doubt. clearly the government is on the back foot over the guidance and what everyone else should be following. absolutely because this is a distraction in the governorate mixed messages. bank holidays weekend saying things to be much better and people are being told to stay away from beauty spots and beaches pulled up even though they can do more things. all the while that this is dominating the headlines this distraction of course people may well think if the government can get away with it as say may say or may bend the rule can they do the same? funerals have taken place

in pakistan for some of the victims of friday's plane crash in karachi, in which ninety seven people died. flight data and cockpit recorders have been recovered and an investigation into the cause of the crash is underway, but the pakistan pilots' association says it doesn't trust the government to investigate properly. bbc urdu's umer nan—giana sent this report from the scene. this is exactly the site where where this pakistan international airlines plane crashed in karachi yesterday. as you can see, this is that street where this debris is all over the place. you can see one of the parts of the wings of the aircraft here, and there are parts of the engine and the body of the aircraft spread all over into the street. this is a very narrow street, about 20 feet wide or something. and we have been told by the eyewitnesses here that they were inside these houses when the plane crashed here. if we can show you a little bit

of what happened to the house that was dragged right into the fireball. the owner of the house said that he was inside the house praying when he heard this boom and he rushed out. and then he realised that some of his relatives who were present at this — were very close to the gate here — were badly burned. this is the engine of the aircraft that you can see here. and this skeleton you can see here was actually cars like this one. the security agencies, when they first moved in, and the rescue workers, they had to make a place for themselves to pull the bodies out of the rubble. if we can show you the point of impact where the plane first crashed was that house which is, like, 3—4 houses from here. this is where the plane first hit. and then itjust crashed into the street. and on the impact, it went into a fireball and the whole place caught fire. let's start with some of the the latest developments

on the coronavirus outbreak in the uk, and around the world. more than five million people are now known to have contracted the coronavirus globally and there have been more than 340 thousand reported deaths. nearly 97 thousand of those are in the us, according to the latest data. spain hasjoined greece in saying that it will reopen to international tourists from july and has also announced that it's football league will resume next month. at least forty churchgoers in the german city of frankfurt who attended a service after the country's lockdown was eased, have been diagnosed with covid—i9. officials say they were following social—distancing rules. and one of the world's major pilgrimage sites, the church of the holy sepulchre is opening its doors again on sunday, two months after it was closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. visitor numbers will be limited to fifty at a time.

meanwhile the prime minister also says international tourist can come to the country from july. however thousands of people protested on thursday against the government handling of the corona outbreak. 0ur correspondent is in madrid. 0ur correspondent is in madrid. it's obviously an enormous relief to football fans here and the football industry which is so enormous in spain that things are going to resume we don't know exactly under which conditions clearly there will be a lot of restrictions. things won't be back to normal as they were before the lockdown. but i think it's the fact that the league is going to resume with these 11 fixtures which are remaining, is going to come as a enormous relief both economically and emotionally in spain. as for tourism, howell open will the country really be? will every region be welcoming visitors? there are certainly some

regions which are much more used to receiving tourists for example down the mediterranean coast and the cost of a soul in the south. and cities like madrid and barcelona. madrid and barcelona have been particularly ha rd—hit by coronavirus. clearly there might be a concern they are for people visiting. but the government has said that the country will be open for business when it comes at tourism. from the beginning ofjuly and that the country as a whole will be safe. prime minister said that the hallmarks of spanish tourism going forward will be environmental sustainability and safety when it comes to the coronavirus. in theory the government wants to welcome people across the country, make sure they feel safe all the way across spain from the beginning ofjuly. these protests then against the governments handling of the coronavirus outbreak, what more do they think that spain should have done? compared with some countries particular in europe the restrictions were quite strict.

yes, that's right. the protesters who were led by the far right vox party were calling for more freedom and they were calling for the resignation of the prime minister. when it comes to specific demands or claims against the government it's not entirely clear what they have wanted. they had have talked about wanting a better economic response when it comes to dealing with those that have lost their jobs. they also said that the government was simply ill prepared. but the government say it's really people like voxes is far right party that organised this march today or these demonstrations is simply playing politics. with the coronavirus. and that the country needs to unite. i think what this reflects today is the deep divisions in spanish society over the coronavirus. there are people who believe the government has done a very bad job and there were

others that feel that the government has done it can in difficult circumstances. people travelling to france from the uk will have to self—isolate for 14 days from 8th june, according to the french government. it comes after the home secretary priti patel announced quarantine plans for most visitors to the uk from the same date. france said it would impose reciprocal measures for any european country enforcing a quarantine. beaches across cyprus have reopened, as the meditteranean island nation gradually eases its lockdown. the country's health ministry has issued strict social distancing guidelines for beach—goers. it comes two days after a short heat—wave in the region saw temperatures hit 43 degrees celsius. cyprus partially sealed its borders ahead of most european nations, managing to keep the number of coronavirus—related deaths to fewer than 20. the number of deaths due to coronavirus in new york state has fallen below one—hundred for the first time since late march when lockdown began. state governor andrew cuomo said the number of deaths

recorded in the last twenty—four hours was eighty—four. new york has been the epicentre of the virus in the us at the height of the outbreak last month, more than 800 people a day were dying. in china, health authorities have recorded no new coronavirus infections for the first time since the outbreak began the city of wuhan. the country has seen a sharp fall in locally transmitted cases since march as major restrictions on peoples' movements were introduced to help control the epidemic. this is bbc news. the headlines: the british government is coming under further pressure after the prime minister's top adviser is accused of breaching lockdown rules — twice. funerals take place in pakistan after a plane crash in a residential area of karachi kills 97 people. five people have been charged with the murder of a law student in a drive—by

i'm literally going to go home so happy today. ..he is using his time and talent for another purpose — to help rough sleepers. according to the mental health foundation, almost two thirds of adults say that being kind to others has a positive impact on their mental health... did you get extra waters? ..something thatjonni knows all too well. we're doing, like, 250 meals every day. it's definitely warming, for sure. it's nice to see that what we're doing is actually making an impact. being kind to anyone is going to make you feel better about yourself. yet whilst some are finding ways of coping, for many, the pressure of a national lockdown is taking its toll, particularly when it comes to young people. according to the prince's trust, 43% of young people say their anxiety levels have increased due to the pandemic, and nearly half say they don't feel in control of their lives. 16—year—old 0wen harding, from brighton, was struggling with his mental health at the start of the lockdown.

soon after, he went missing from home. his mum, stella, has seen the impact. it's definitely important that we talk about it and we consider it. it's always important that we talk about mental and emotional health, lockdown or no lockdown. young people perhaps haven't developed into the calm adult human beings that we've become. their hormones are all over the place. sometimes, things seem really, really huge to them. they might make snap decisions. their mental health might deteriorate more quickly than somebody who's older. almost two thirds of people around the uk surveyed for the mental health foundation said that when people are kind to them, their mental health improves. for many, it has a vital role during the lockdown. we are calling for a much kinder society, one that really protects and really prioritises our mental health. and that would mean notjust tracking economic progress, but also measuring our

health and well— being. ashleyjohn—baptiste, bbc news. the channel island of guernsey has become the first part of the british isles to remove nearly all its lockdown restrictions, after reporting no new cases of covid—i9 for over three weeks. robert hall has more. in a guernsey garden, eight—week—old charlie flood is meeting his widerfamily. until now his grandparents have only had glimpses of him at a distance. today, the family can hold charlie and hug each other for the first time since lockdown began. we are so fortunate because in england they can't do that and it must be so difficult for them. we are just really, really lucky. it feels absolutely amazing, it has been a long time coming, and it feels so nice. i can't put him down. 0n the 16th of may guernsey moved into phase three of the lockdown exit plan.

guernsey families and friends can meet up under what is called a bubble system, gradually widening their contacts. guernsey's success against covid—i9 is down to a community effort. social distancing combined with testing and tracing has brought new cases down to zero. in a week's time most lockdown measures will disappear completely. at the peak of when we were seeing most of our cases we were regularly doing up to100, 126, some days up to 180 tests a day. in uk terms that is over 100,000 tests per day. in jersey too the curve of new cases has flattened close to zero and life looks almost normal. shops, businesses and outside eateries have reopened, but social distancing measures remain in place and islanders have been advised to use masks if they can. beaches, though, remain mostly deserted, and that sums up the dilemma now facing island governments. getting covid—19 figures

down to or close to zero is a cause for celebration, but the celebration might be short lived. the channel islands know that they cannot remain within a sealed bubble indefinitely, they must open their borders if they are to slow the decline in their economies. latest figures from jersey show the island losing £120 million a month from its economy. increases in testing and tracing might replace quarantine, but even a gradual return of sea and air links could reverse the progress made. to keep it in a bubble and to keep cases low, but at the same time if you don't have immunity, you don't really know what is going to happen as things open up. i think we should sit it out, but then you've got to test people coming in and that is going to be the problem now. as politicians and health experts debate their next moves, islanders are savouring their freedom. robert hall, bbc news, in the channel islands.
