hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... the uk prime minister's top aide, dominic cummings, is at number 10 downing street. senior members of the conservative party are calling for his resignation after further allegations he breached lockdown rules. he insists he acted "reasonably and legally" by driving from london to county durham in march while his wife had coronavirus. but new reports suggest he was seen in the north east of england on two further occasions. the country can't afford this nonsense, this pantomime, now. dominic should go and we should move on and deal with the things that matter in people's lives. police in hong kong arrest dozens of people participating in the first pro—democracy protests since beijing announced plans to impose a new security law on the territory. israeli prime minister,

benjamin netanyahu, goes on trial for corruption charges just days after he was once again sworn in as premier. the duke of cambridge reveals how becoming a father brought back the painful emotions he felt after his mother's death. hospices in the uk are at the forefront of the battle with covid—19, continuing to care for the most vulnerable people in society whilst also trying to ease the burden on the nhs. but the pandemic has dramatically changed the way they deliver that vital support, and it's also hitting them hard financially. john maguire reports. hello! hello, charlotte! hell, it's lovely to see you! every day throughout lockdown, and for as long as they are needed, thejessie may charity nurses are visiting families. they are a lifeline.

today they're seeing one—year—old finley. so we'll do all of his clinical care, anything he needs clinically, play with him as well, entertain him, cuddle him. it takes them a bit of time to warm to us with all this gear on faces, hence i've got some stickers on my mask. takes about ten minutes, quarter of an hour, then we get the smiles from finley because he can hear or recognise our voices. filming at a safe distance and using footage from the family, we can the nurses treating him. he has an extremely rare genetic disorder that affects his muscles and he depends on a ventilator to breathe. one of the challenges is to keep finley‘s lungs drained of fluid. the nurses‘ ppe helps protect them and him from infection of all kinds. it takes a little while to learn to breathe in these masks, but we do get used to it. so the masks aren't very comfortable to wear. like, we're quite lucky that when we're doing jessie may visits we only have to keep them on for three hours. if you're doing the night shift

or anything longer than that, and i would imagine it would be quite — it is quite challenging, i've done nights with them on and it's not very comfortable. finley can't be left alone. he needs to be monitored around the clock. so when thejesse may nurses the family has a rare moment of respite, some normality. thank you! i couldn't cope without jessie may. they are an integral part of my family. they are an extension to my family and they come into our house and they're there to support and guide. they do so much more thanjust looking after finley. they allow us to have some of our life back because looking after a complex child really is a 24—hourjob. and, you know, it's simple things like sleeping. i get to sleep, which becomes a hugely important part of life. covid has added extra pressure on already stretched resources.

in common with other charities, jessie may's have lost badly needed money from races and fundraising events. by the beginning of this crisis we estimated we had three or four months left to survive. things are looking a little better at the moment. but we're certainly not out of the woods yet. i'm grateful to the numbers of our loyal supporters who've already put their hands in their pockets to send in some donations, but it's very difficult times. the nurses are committed to working throughout this crisis, continuing to make a difference, continuing to help families with already very difficult lives. john maguire, bbc news, somerset. funerals have taken place in pakistan for some of the victims of friday's plane crash in karachi, in which 97 people died. flight data and cockpit recorders have been recovered and an investigation into the cause of the crash is under way. but the pakistan pilots' association says it doesn't trust the government to investigate properly.

umer nan giana sent this report from the scene. this is exactly the site where this pakistan international airlines plane crashed. debris is all over the place. you can see one of the parts of the wings of the aircraft and there are parts of the engine and the body of the aircraft strewn all over, into the street. it's a very narrow street, like 20 foot wide or something, and we've been told by the eyewitnesses here that they were inside these houses when the plane crashed here. we can show you a little of what happened to the house that was dragged right into the fireball. the owner of the house said he was inside the house praying when he heard this boom and he rushed out and then he realised that some of his servants who were present, close to the gate here, were badly burnt. this is the engine of the aircraft you can see here.

this skeleton that you see 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. we can show you the point of impact where the plane first crashed. it was that house, which is, like, three to four 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. now on bbc news, click.

hello, you. hope you're doing 0k. lara's on the end of this line, you're looking well, mate, how have you been? how's the first week of not—quite—so—lockdown lockdown been? it has been good being able to go out and do more exercise. i did 30,000 steps yesterday. wow, is that good? i have no idea, no—one‘s ever explained this step business to me. but talking of health, another issue that has been happening over the past couple of months is that when people have needed to go to the doctor or hospital, they have been nervous about either catching the virus or playing their part in overwhelming health systems. so that has meant in some cases, that people have missed urgent care that they really needed. sojen copestake has been to harrogate district hospital and a gp surgery in london to find out how staff has been trying to see more patients remotely where they can. when coronavirus hit the uk, we saw hospitals being rapidly set

up to take more patients and even new ones were built. but in the last month, admissions to hospital emergency rooms have dropped to the lowest point since records began. many hospitals have seen a decline in the number of patients coming in for emergency care or scheduled appointments due to the coronavirus. but technology is enabling safe social distancing while also ensuring that important issues aren't missed. finding ways to quickly adapt nhs system to remotely check on patients with acute or continuing illnesses has been an urgent task. we have been shown some of the ways doctors are working to carry on seeing patients without physically seeing them. something as simple as sending an image on a phone is incredibly complex for the nhs. there are rules surrounding patient data that make it difficult to share scans, even between hospitals and doctors. but with coronavirus doctors had to quickly find ways around this to enable them to work from home.

when covid occurred, the approach to the deployment changed. the nhs has a number of challenges around governance arrangements, they have a lot of sensitive information and sometimes that can be a barrier to deploying technology in the nhs. it was a very pragmatic approach taken by the guys across this region then to make sure that those final remaining steps were accelerated. the yorkshire imaging collaborative were already working with agfa healthcare on ways to share x—rays and scans among six hospitals using the xero exchange network browser. but now the system is entirely accessible from home, meaning doctors can consult on radical patient care including for cancer from their living rooms, with no ppe required a no risk of spreading the virus. i think everything's escalated, over the last month i have really integrated it into my house so i can work almost exactly as i do at the hospital. all the data regarding the patient is all kept on hospital servers, which are all very secure, there is high level

encryption, i have to use a special vpn network to access it, as soon as i log off there is nothing on my computer to identify that patient, or any images remaining whatsoever, so if i had my computer stolen there's no data on there. the only potential risk is when people come around sticking cameras through my window and have a look at what's on the screen. gps are also finding new ways to see patients remotely. we're all now familiar with apps like gp at hand and push doctor which allow you to see a doctor by video call on your mobile. the medicspot takes things further. these machines are used in 318 pharmacies and and 86 nhs care homes and gp surgeries, including dr yasmin razak‘s clinic in west london. it moves beyond the simple video call with a doctor by giving the patient access to a blood pressure monitor, pulse oximeter... did you get a reading? ..stethoscope. .. ..contactless thermometer...

..and even a light to check their ear, nose or throat. 0bviously we're doing everything remotely and digitally as much as possible for patient safety, but there are times we really do need to examine our patients. and so it gives us also that safety aspect that we can listen to the heart and lungs, look inside the throat and ear and make a proper diagnostic assessment rather than just rely on a conversation over the phone or a remote video. the system cuts down on the use of vital ppe as the doctor does not need to wear it and change for each consultation. this is very helpful as at this surgery, ppe is in short supply. while we were filming, a volunteer from a 3d printing charity dropped off a donation. this is a face shield, and these are 3d printed, the black part has been 3d printed by somebody locally, and then we have cut the visor and attach the elastic and we are disturbing them to frontline health workers. it turns out there is a distributed manufacturing capacity across the uk

to make 140,000 so far. we have a need, and it's wonderful that you have come to support us because unfortunately as we were saying, through normal procurement lines we can't actually access ppe, and so gps are having to do their best to find it from everywhere available to support their staff. i think it's amazing that you've come and helped us, i'm really, really grateful. new apps are also allowing patients and doctors to interact remotely. silo allows doctors to communicate with enhanced security, allowing them to annotate photographs and blur patient records so they don't have to meet in person. while zesty helps patients access their medical records, book appointments and even attend consultations online. we are often guilty about being slower to adopt technologies in health, but sometimes it takes a crisis like this to come out with a positive change, and i think it's really shown us that the benefits of adopting remote technologies to deliver healthcare,

and we won't be going back. i have to be honest, i have really struggled with my motivation during the lockdown, and i'm just not the kind of person that goes for a run — i'm not a jogger — so for the last week i've been travelling to exotic locations and working out in virtual reality. this is supernatural, a vr fitness experience, and the company promises it's the most fun you can have working out, although that's what everyone who tries to trick me into exercise says. i'm in machu picchu today and i have to strike these orbs as they come towards me, and when i see triangle, i have to squat into it and you have to forgive me if i don't put my back into it today because turns out after doing this for a week, your legs really hurt, so i guess it's kind of working. you might notice a striking similarity with a popular vr game, beat saber, which is one of those breakout vr hits, and it is very similar,

although the developers of supernatural have tried to distinguish it make it appeal to more thanjust a gaming crowd, and they've done it by having fitness trainers in the game. today i'm doing full body work with raneir. enough talk, let's get into some warm—up. and they're using big—name artists and songs. ‘take on me' by a-ha plays but they're hoping to charge a monthly subscription, and that has annoyed some 0culus qwest owners, who are used to paying just once to own a game. 0k. well, online from the company is chris milk. chris, i've been doing this for a few days and my thighs are killing me! is that normal? we hear that a lot. a lot of people aren't used to lower body bodyweight exercises. what i'm excited about is people say that they are... their lower body is sore but they don't actually remember the workout being hard. nobody likes multiple squats in a row. if you can hide it

inside of a fun activity, you don't remember the pain of the workout because it wasn't painful. how are you going to make it appeal to more than just gamers? because i suspect most people who have one of these headsets are gamers. we're trying to bring virtual reality to a different demographic. the 0culus quest is what we've launched on. we're getting a lot of people that are saying they bought a headset either off of ebay or a off a third—party for the purpose of exercise using supernatural, and we are engaging with all of them — we've learned so much in the last month from having thousands of people inside of it. at the moment this is only available in the us and canada, where the earliest adopters are about to end their free trial month, so the company is about to find out if people are prepared to pay. one obvious downside to working out with vr is you get really sweaty in the headset, although supernatural‘s offering a free silicon face shield to anyone who signs up for the free trial.

i've been comparing the experience to ring fit, it's nintendo's latest fitness game for the switch, and you use your body and this ring to control a character on the screen, and it has you doing jogging, sports and yoga poses, even stretching and squeezing this ring to defeat an evil dragon in the game who wears a wrestling singlet. as you would expect from nintendo, it's very cute and a little bit weird. what's even cooler is the controller can measure your heart rate to if you're working up a sweat, and i certainly did, although like a lot of nintendo games, this one is full of text from you have to skip, this one is full of text prompts you have to skip, skip, skip your way through and a lot of the time ijust feel like, "get on with it!" a lot of these might be a passing phrase, like wii fit was, but i'm determined to lose my lockdown

weight and at least they got me moving every day and sweating it out. how absolutely fantastic was that? we've got to talk to chris, he's online now. mate, how do you feel after all that? i'm exhausted! doing that for a few days in a row has left my thighs so sore i could barely sit down. 0h goodness! but was it better than doing a youtube workout? it can't be very comfortable wearing a vr headset for it? 0k, yeah, it's definitely gross having the headset on. you get sweaty with vr at the best of times, and doing a full workout with it on, you do get very warm and steamy in there, it's not nice. at least with this, you're forced to do what it's telling you, rather than if it was just a youtube video, i could just ignore it. don't you think this is alljust a bit of a novelty, really? would you keep doing it? 0k, yeah. it might be a fad, i'm not sure yet, but ultimately it's got me working out. before i was doing nothing, i wasn't going for a jog, now i'm doing these exercises every day. so i'm going to stick at it and work on my ‘fad' bod rather than getting a dad bod.

nice! brilliant! chris, you're such a great sport. it's always brilliant to talk to you, thanks for doing that for to us! that is it from us for this week. check out the full—length version waiting for you right now on iplayer. you can keep up with the team throughout the week on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter — @bbcclick. thanks for watching, and we'll see you soon.
