local lockdowns may be introduced to tackle regional outbreaks of coronavirus in the future. there's no timeframe yet, but the government says it'll be part of the test, track and trace system. some health officials are concerned about getting the public on board. what we must have, if there was a local lockdown, is adherence of the local population, and they would have to have the respect and the trust of the people who are actually giving that information. we'll find out more about how the system will work. also this lunchtime: the prime minister will face questions from senior mps this afternoon, amid continuing calls for his senior adviser, dominic cummings, to resign. donald trump has his wings clipped by twitter, after the social media company labels two posts

by the president as potentially misleading, it's back to school for some children on monday — we find out how teachers and pupils are adapting to a new style of classroom. and... doing anything nice for the weekend? hairdressers in england tell us they want to bring forward the opening of salons — for their desperate customers. and in the sport later in the hour on bbc news: the premier league clubs will move on to contact training, after voting in favour of the government guidelines. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. the health secretary is to outline plans to impose localised lockdowns

in england to help tackle future outbreaks of coronavirus. matt hancock says they will form part of the government's test, track and trace strategy — to deal with regional flare—ups. it could lead to schools or businesses being closed in areas which experience a spike in cases. our health correspondent, sophie hutchinson, has this report. by by the middle of next month, many high street shops will reopen, transforming our deserted town and city centres. but the government is warning some areas may be forced back into lockdowns if there are outbreaks of the virus. they will be identified by test and contact tracing systems and england's begins on monday. the trade-off here is that for a relatively small number of people abiding by the rules, being inconvenienced in some cases, staying at home and self—isolating, the rest of society gets to enjoy

far more freedom than we all do today. 25,000 people have been recruited to help trace the contacts of people who have the virus. they will use phone calls, text and e—mail to alert anyone who has recently e—mail to alert anyone who has rece ntly m et e—mail to alert anyone who has recently met up with an infected person and give them advice about self—isolating. scientists from the royal society estimate an effective tracking system could reduce the number of new infections by 5—15%, but it relies on getting the public on board and there is concern about how that can be achieved. what we must have if there was a local lockdown is adherents of the local lockdown is adherents of the local population, and they would have to have the respect and the trust of the people who are actually giving that information because, let's be honest, a lot of people would think, well, this is unfair. the rest of the country is coming out. we have actually been told to go back to the square before. out. we have actually been told to go back to the square beforem out. we have actually been told to go back to the square before. it is only people who have tested positive

for covid—19 whose context will be traced. a system is already under way in northern ireland and scotland's begins tomorrow. it says it will have 2,000 contacts traces by the end of the month. we are trying to interrupt the viral transmission so you get to the contact, transmission so you get to the co nta ct, if transmission so you get to the contact, if they don't get symptoms, you have interrupted the virus. if they get symptoms, you test them and so they get symptoms, you test them and so it goes on. so the whole point is to try and break down the outbreak, so to try and break down the outbreak, so you to try and break down the outbreak, so you can to try and break down the outbreak, so you can shut it down and then you can release society a little bit more as time passes. the welsh government is aiming to roll out its contact tracing system next week, but some council leaders there say it may have to be delayed because it is struggling to testing of people. like the rest of the uk, it is aiming to double its testing capacity by the end of the month and there are just four days to go. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. senior mps are preparing to question the prime minister this afternoon, amid continued calls for his chief

adviser, dominic cummings, to resign. our assistant political editor, norman smith, is in westminster. there is still a lot of anger in some quarters, is he going to hold on, dominic cummings?” some quarters, is he going to hold on, dominic cummings? ithink some quarters, is he going to hold on, dominic cummings? i think even if mps on this committee subjected borisjohnson to the spanish inquisition treatment, he wouldn't change his mind, he seems determined to cling onto dominic cummings and has pretty much nailed him to the perch. i think his calculation is pretty simple, namely, that we will all move on and journalists and angry tory mps will move on to other issues because there is an awful lot of very important coronavirus stuff coming down the track very, very quickly. in terms of where schools will go back on monday, whether test, track and trace will be rolled out effectively, whether we get 2,000 -- 200,000 test by the out effectively, whether we get 2,000 —— 200,000 test by the end of the month. and although there are around a0 tory mps who have pretty much demanded dominic cummings walk

the plank, they have slightly gone off ha ka the plank, they have slightly gone off haka —— slightly gone off half cocked and there has been no campaign or coordinated plan to crank up the pressure on boris johnson to get rid of him and there hasn't been a big beast, a cabinet minister or the like demanding he goes. so from where i am sitting, borisjohnson seems determined to hang on, to take the hit in terms of public opinion. what we don't know is how far public anger risks turning into a public readiness to flout some of those lockdown rules we have been hearing about. how far, if you like, people might say, i will do a if you like, people might say, i will doa cummings if you like, people might say, i will do a cummings and interpret the rules are my own way and that is perhaps the most serious sign to this whole cummings saga. norman, thank you. norman smith. donald trump has accused twitter of interfering in november's presidential election, after the social media company labelled two posts by the president as potentially misleading. mrtrump had claimed

in tweets that the use of postal votes would lead to widespread voter fraud. our north america correspondent, peter bowes, reports. a twitter war about twitter. it started when mr trump, who has more than 80 million followers on the social—media platform, tweeted that postal ballot papers would result in a rigged election. "mail boxes will be robbed, ballots will be forged and even illegally printed out and fraudulently signed." mr trump also claimed that the governor of california will be sending ballots to millions of people. "anyone living in the state, no matter who they are or how they got there, will get one." twitter responded with a blue exclamation mark underneath the tweets, suggesting readers get the facts about mail—in ballots through stories contradicting mr trump. the president later repeated his claims at a white house news conference. people that aren't citizens, illegals, anybody that walks in california is going

to get a ballot. we're not going to destroy this country by allowing things like that to happen. we're not destroying our country. this has more to do with fairness and honesty, and really, our country itself. twitter introduced a policy earlier this month to combat misleading information, but this is the first time the platform has applied a fact—checking label to tweets by the president, who was quick to respond — with another tweet. "twitter is now interfering in the 2020 presidential election. twitter is completely stifling free speech and i, as president, will not allow it to happen!" thank you. a potentially rocky road ahead for the president and his social—media platform of choice. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. police in the us city of minneapolis have fired rubber bullets and tear gas at crowds protesting about the death of an unarmed black man who was detained by police.

a video shows a policeman holding down george floyd by putting a knee on his neck. mr floyd can be heard saying, "i can't breathe". you may find images in this report by nick beake disturbing. fury explodes. after the death of another black man in custody in america. the target of the anger this time, minneapolis. they're the target of the anger this time, minneapolis. they‘ re building pelted. they responded with smoke bombs and tear gas —— they're building. heavy clouds descending on the city where many are shocked by the city where many are shocked by the video of what happened. a6—year—old george floyd, unarmed, is seen on the ground. a white police officer is kneeling on his neck. i can't breathe, the man says. but the officer keeps pinning him

down. when he stops me —— moving, members of the public urge the officer to let him go. he is not responsive right now! seven minutes into the video, an ambulance arrives and is still handcuffed mr floyd is taken to hospital, where he dies. we need to see justice happen. hospital, where he dies. we need to seejustice happen. in this case, this was clearly murder. we wa nt this case, this was clearly murder. we want to see them arrested, we wa nt to we want to see them arrested, we want to see them charged, we want to see them convicted. for what they did. he did not deserve what happened to him. as protesters took to the streets, the police gave their account. he physically resisted officers. officers were able to get the suspect into handcuffs and officers noticed that the mail was going into medical distress. officers called foran ambulance, he medical distress. officers called for an ambulance, he was transported to the medical centre where he died

a short time later. but a furious mayor of minneapolis announced on twitter that four officers had now been dismissed. it was the right call, he wrote. this has brought back memories of the death of another unarmed black man who had also pleaded, i can't breathe. there were big protests at the treatment of eric garner in new york city in 201a. as night fell in minneapolis, more violence and more confrontations with the police. with many asking whether in 2020, black lives matter and if justice many asking whether in 2020, black lives matter and ifjustice will be done. riot police have clashed with demonstrators in hong kong protesting about a proposed new security law, which critics say would limit the former colony's democratic freedoms. there is also anger about proposals to make insulting the chinese national anthem a criminal offence. dozens of people have been detained and police have fired pepper spray and teargas to disperse the crowds.

our top story this lunchtime: local lockdowns may be introduced to tackle regional outbreaks of coronavirus. there's no time frame yet, but the government says it'll be part of the test, track and trace system. coming up — nasa astronauts prepare to blast off into space from the us for the first time in nearly a decade. coming up in the sport on bbc news, the superleague netball season has been cancelled, but the sport is looking to stage an alternative competition later in the year. after more than two months of home schooling, hundreds of thousands of children will return to classrooms across england next week, as primary

schools open for reception coming year one and year six pupils. throughout the coronavirus lockdown, schools have been open to the children of key workers, but the changes teachers face from june ist will be like nothing they have had to deal with before. the school standards minister nick gibb has told schools it's difficult to say whether the ambition to bring back all primary school children this term will be achieved. our correspondent reports from one school in north somerset. ok, theo, can you tuck your chair and come and stand on the white line. the children returning to school here at the whitehook academies in north somerset next week. for them, everything will be different. each and every aspect of school life has been reassessed. we have a 109—point check list to go through to make sure everything is risk—assessed to be safe. we have a a5—page risk assessment that has also gone through a whole checking process, including staff, governors and trustees.

but behind that, we have the practicalities of the day—to—day. so, we have timetables for break time, for lunch time, for outdoor space. we have timetables for different classrooms and different bubbles within those classes. the school has stayed open for key workers or vulnerable children. social—distancing rules mean their desk partners are their siblings. there's a new theme each week. the latest is japan. they applaud on a normal day, there would be a50 pupils here and, after half term, around 150 will return. class sizes are different. the requirements for children's mixing, for interaction is different. the hygiene requirements are a far higher level than we've ever seen before. also, the risk assessment process behind that, ensuring that our site is as safe as it possibly can be for everyone in our community, is vital. making the physical changes has been very challenging, but staff are also preparing to support children emotionally.

the decision to reintroduce more pupils hasn't been an easy one — not for parents or for staff. for me, being in the classroom is where i belong. i want to be with the children, i don't want to be sat at home on my laptop doing things for them. i want to have that interaction and to be there for them, as their journey continues with their learning. a school is so much more than just a classroom. it's part of a community. in the office, fiona hague has been on hand to reassure anxious families. parents are still very worried, so it's pointing them in the direction of all the guidance that's coming out. we're ensuring that we're getting as much information out to parents as we can via the website, school app, e—mails. and just making sure they're as up—to—date as they can be and know as much as we know. when the school gates next open, the canteen‘s shutters will remain closed.

mixed feelings, but i'm fine with it. i think i'm fine with it. we've been... me and sue have been on our own for a while now, so it's fine. it's a nice big kitchen to social—distance in, so we're lucky, really. we're going to do a sandwich selection for them and they're going to be eating in their classroom, so we'll prepare it here and it will be going over into boxes into their little bubbles in their classrooms. over the past two weeks, primary schools have had to reinvent the wheel. and as these corridors fill in the coming days, there'll be much more to learn. so notjust for children, but for parents, teachers, and support staff, every day will be a school day. john maguire, bbc news, nailsea in north somerset. well, south korea has seen nearly two and a half million pupils return to school today. students had to have their temperature taken and do a health check on an app, to show they had no covid symptoms, before being allowed back into the classroom. our correspondent laura bicker sent this report.

well, this is pe class, as you can probably tell behind me. 2.5 million students are going back. this is part of a phased return. so a series of students go back every week. but teachers are on edge because there are clusters of infection popping up across the country. this is all related to an outbreak in nightclubs in seoul's party district a couple of weeks ago. health officials have traced 86,000 people. and tested them for the virus. but still these little pockets of infection keep cropping up. and that is why every single student must wear a mask. at the gates they are having their temperature checked. that's the first temperature check of the day. there are many temperature checks throughout the day. each of the classes have dividers in them to keep students apart. daily, teachers are telling their students to keep that social distance, but it is extremely difficult. as you can imagine, this

is the first time that they've seen each other in months. this is the start of the school term which was supposed to happen in march so they are very, very excited. i saw one studentjump up and down, desperate to hug herfriend but was told no, no, no, no by a teacher. but still they are allowing students to go back to school. some schools have decided to say no today but this one has. as you can see they are enjoying their pe class, they don't know much english but do have one word which they can say which is hello! there you go, hello from them. laura bicker in south korea. the first commercial craft to take people into space is due to blast off from cape canaveral in florida this evening. the spacex rocket and capsule, will be the first to take off from american soil since 2011. two nasa astronauts will be onboard the mission to the international space station. here's our science correspondent, rebecca morelle. getting ready for launch.

a commercial spacecraft facing its ultimate test — carrying astronauts into space. nasa's bob behnken and doug hurley will be at the controls. they'll be heading to the international space station. i was asking them a few hours ago, is there anything you want us to do? they're cool as a cucumber. they have nerves of steel. but this mission is about seeing if the technology works. its high—stakes stuff. but these astronauts have been training for this moment for yea rs. at any time you have the first flight of a brand—new vehicle, it's exciting. it's a bit more risky, which is why we're using people like bob and doug, who are very experienced test pilots, they can handle anything that maybe happens that we didn't expect. but it's what test pilots live for, you know, the chance to be the first one to fly a new, shiny vehicle is a test pilot's dream.

lift off, we have a lift off. the united states has a long history of space flight. from the apollo missions, which took astronauts to the moon, to the space shuttle programme, which ferried men and women to low—earth orbit and back. the shuttle has cleared the tower. but its last flight touched down nearly a decade ago. but with two flights ending in disaster and high running costs, the fleet was retired and the shuttle reach touchdown nearly a decade ago. since then american astronauts have had to buy seeds in russian rockets instead. this new spacecraft will restore america's ability for human space flight. the fact it's owned by spacex, a commercial company, also marks a big change for the us space agency. nasa has said, basically, "we'll give you the money "and you give us the space flight" and that releases nasa to use its resources to do other things. and that's where we can start really thinking big. and instead of spending allthe time, effort, resources on something we've done now for many years, going into low—earth orbit, doing

experiments, let's look bigger, let's go further and the ultimate destination has to be mars. last year, a crash test dummy took a test ride in the spacex capsule. now, though, it's time for the real thing. a new era in space flight is set to begin. rebecca morelle, bbc news. a00,000 more people are now covered by the government's furlough scheme. it means that almost eight and a half million workers are receiving 80 percent of their monthly salary, up to a maximum of £2,500. the total amount claimed by employers has now risen to fifteen billion pounds and the scheme has been extended to october. a man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering a teenager, whose body was found in woodland. 16—year—old louise smith was found deadin havant thicket in hampshire last thursday, 13 days after she was reported missing. a man and a woman, both aged 29, were previously arrested on suspicion of kidnap

and released on bail. the man has been rearrested on suspicion of murder, the woman is being held on suspicion of assisting an offender. childline says it's holding, on average, one counselling session every five minutes with young people worried about their mental health and wellbeing during the lockdown. the charity says suicidal thoughts were mentioned in 13% of sessions. the nspcc, which runs the support line, says that since january they've had thousands of conversations with young people in which coronavirus was raised. mums are spending more time than dads juggling working from home, childcare and housework during lockdown, according to a new study. the report by the institute for fiscal studies think tank found that women are home—schooling and looking after children for an average of ten hours a day — two hours more than their male partners. our business correspondent,

sarah corker, reports. some families are now spending 2a hours a day together, months of home—schooling and working from home. for some parents here in ashton—upon—mersey, it can be a tricky balancing act. working from home at the moment, doing two hour on, two hour off shifts. so that's been a bit hectic. my husband, he's out working, so yeah, it's pretty muchjust me. now i've sort of got in the routine with the girls. they do their homework, home—schooling, should i say, in the morning. then i get on with my housework and we do lunch and i cook tea. interviews with 3,500 families suggest women are under the most strain under lockdown, doing more chores and childcare, even when both parents are working fulltime. mothers are less likely to be working, they're less likely to be getting unterrupted working time while they're at home. and those kind of changes tend to have long run impacts on the gender wage gap and on the division

of labour between men and women in the household. but the research also shows dads are now spending more time with their kids. dom has been furloughed from hisjob in manchester, and is looking after four—year—old imogen and two—year—old alfie. it's been a complete role reversal. it's leaving one job and going from that to kind of a primary school teacher to a nursery carer with alfie, who is two, and just trying to keep them as stimulated as they can be in the same four walls for eight to nine weeks. mari—claire is a teacher and is still working full—time, doing online lessons. i carry a lot of guilt because i can hear my children downstairs playing, sometimes fighting. i can hear dom trying to referee and help them out and look after them, but i am upstairs in the spare bedroom doing pre—recorded lessons or zoom sessions. for men and women, the economic impact of this pandemic is different. women dominate sectors like hospitality and retail,

that have been hardest hit by these restrictions. and research shows they're more likely to have been furloughed or to have lost theirjobs. sarah coupe is home—schooling her nine—year—old daughter and is hoping she'll be able to return to paid work soon. i work in a pub part time, so i'm furloughed from there. and then i'm a self—employed cleaner, so i'm not earning anything at the moment, so i'm not working. we have good and bad days. i feel a bit fed up. i'm just hoping the pub does reopen. researchers have warned the economic fallout of covid—i9 could increase the inequalities in pay and prospects between men and women. sarah corker, bbc news. premier league clubs have voted unanimously to resume contact training. once the new measures come into force england's top teams will be allowed to tackle each other. let's speak to our correspondent, laura scott

so good news for football fans? yes. this is an important next step they have taken. it didn't come without lengthy consultation. the government gave their approvalfor lengthy consultation. the government gave their approval for elite sports people to move into what they call phase two of training. then we had the managers and the players consulted yesterday. today the 20 clu bs consulted yesterday. today the 20 clubs gave their unanimous approval to move into this step. as i said, it is an important step but it comes with more at risk. until now, players had only been able to train while abiding by social distancing rules. whereas now, from today, it will be allowed to have close contact and be able to tackle one another. and the stage of training extends to everything up to full tea m extends to everything up to full team training. there is a balance of the clubs will have to strike between increasing the group sizes, but with that will come an increased risk of transmission and more players impacted if there is a positive test among the group. but

also wanting to get their players as ready as possible for a potentially restart to the season, which could come next month. the players are undergoing twice—weekly testing and we are expecting the next batch of results to come through at some point this afternoon. at another meeting tomorrow of all the 20 clu bs, meeting tomorrow of all the 20 clubs, they will discuss more widely the project restart plans, things like a fixture list, venues and what would happen should the season not to be completed. we are expecting a lot of debate tomorrow. but the premier league want to see that everybody is happy with the general direction of travel. laura scott, thank you. most of us are desperate for a haircut, but as the rules stand, we have to wait until at leastjuly. while shops are allowed to reopen in england next month, hair salons have been told they can't open before the ath ofjuly. as rick kelsey has been finding out, many hairdressers say they'll be ready well before that, and have been doing all they can to get ready for a queue of customers.

july ath, independence day for hairdressers — the day the government says salons may reopen, but only if they're covid—ready. welcome to our new salon. we've been knocking walls, changing the salon for everyone. we had 12 chairs, whereas now we've got eight chairs, to separate each person. we will be sterilising each section every time our clients finish. some though, are getting well ahead of the game. this salon in north london has spent thousands of pounds reconfiguring for a socially—distanced future. a space of four weeks it's transformed — knocking down walls, creating new booths and taking out reception space. i'm a bit nervous with cutting people's hair, but we're going to have to deal with it. appointments will be in blocks with clear start times. hours are extended and you'll receive a text the night before your appointment to confirm you've had no covid symptoms for a week. staff will work in shift teams, so they can isolate one team and keep the salon open

if someone falls unwell. but how can you stay safe while cutting hair? we are going to be wearing our ppe, which is a face shield, face masks and gloves. normally we have assistants washing our clients' hair, but i'll be doing everything. miss a slot and you'll need to rebook. as well as physical changes to salons and the way that the staff act, well, customers are going to have to change their behaviour, too. which could involve turning up at a set time, not waiting around, and even possibly wearing one of these while getting your hair cut. the uk has some of the widest social distancing measures in europe, and there will be tighter hygiene checks in place for people work in salons. at any given time on a saturday, we could have 30 people in here, including the staff. so we decided to lose a third, so we've taken four of the mirrors out we've and spaced everything about two, 2.2 metres along. so, yeah. we've been working quite

hard to refit, remodel and redesign the salon. is the fun and glamour going to leave getting your hair done for a while? no. you are socially distancing yourself, two metres from other members in the shop, but you can still have a conversation. so, it won't be as glamourous and it won't be as fulfilling, but, you know, eventually that will come back. with distancing set to continue, your hairdresser may be one of the few people who actually does get close to you for some time yet. rick kelsey, bbc news. record—breaking may, especially in the south—east. with hair like with hairlike mine, with hair like mine, you need to have a hat on in this kind of. the sun is beating down. there is some cloud —— mcleod
