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 around. this area of

cloud —— mcleod around. this area of cloud earlier on produced some rain for northern ireland and south—west scotland. that has now moved away and the sunshine is out far and wide with the highest temperatures in the south—west of england at around 25 oi’ south—west of england at around 25 or 26 degrees. we have high pressure dominating the weather once again, keeping it essentially dry but that is this little cheeky weather front arriving in the north—west that will probably steer to the north of northern ireland but bring cloud into scotland and even some rain for a while. we will see the back of that bulk from cornwall but there will be patchy cloud and eastern areas of england and more cloud for northern ireland but it was temperatures around six or 7 degrees. early tomorrow, what is left of that rain doesn't last long, it's an head out into the north sea. the cloud breaks across scotland and sunshine develops. after a cloudy start for northern ireland, it will turn into a lovely day with lots of sunshine for england and wales as

well. an easterly breeze to the south of englund will not be the warmest place. the heat gets pushed into wales and the west country as well. as we move into friday, we could again have patchy cloud bursting. again, it won't last long. lots of sunshine and another dry day on friday. more of a breeze which will put the heat of the north. it may well be warmer on the glasgow on friday than in london. into the weekend, still high pressure in charge. we are going to draw our air from continental europe. temperatures will not change a great deal through the weekend so we are still looking generally at highs of around the mid 20s or so. there may be some high uv levels across—the—board this weekend, some strong sunshine to come. some patchy cloud across scotland and northern ireland but not very much at all.

lots of sunshine, dry weather this weekend and those temperatures peaking at 26 degrees. no rain for the rest of the month. it has been a trait month particular across parts of the south—east with little or no rain here. it could potentially be a record breaker. our top story, double lock downs may be introduced to tackle regional outbreaks of coronavirus in england. there is no timeframe yet but the government says it will be part of a test, track and trace system. that is all from the bbc news at one team. goodbye from all of us on bbc one and wejoin our news team. goodbye from all of us on bbc one and we join our news teams were ever you are. good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. premier league clubs will move onto the next stage of training this week as they look to restart the season next month.

they have voted unanimously to resume contact training as per the goverrnemnt guidelines that were published earlier this week. it's been over a week since premier league teams returned and now stage two of the return to training protocol has been agreed following consultation with clubs, players, managers. liverpool captain jordan henderson says the majority of players are comfortable with the return to training. i have to say that the measures that the premier league and the club at liverpool and i'm sure other clubs across the premier league are doing are amazing. it's been really good andl are amazing. it's been really good and i think the majority of players will probably agree in terms of how safe they feel once they went back in with all the measures that have been put in place. hopefully that can continue right through into the next phase and so on and so on.

players can't be forced to train, watford's troy deeney has remained at home. his young son is his main concern and his team—mates understand the position he is in. of course he has his reasons because he has someone at am, especially his son, who he needs to look after. for a club like us, we cannot afford to lose a player like him. we have other players who can fill this gap but it won't be the same because he is there for the whole campaign, he is there for the whole campaign, he is in the club for the last ten yea rs. the superleague netball season in england won't resume. the ten teams had played just three matches before it was stopped in march. england netball has now cancelled it although the possiblitly of staging an alternative, smaller scale tournament in the autumn is being discussed.

we're looking at all options at the moment, as we have done over the last ten weeks. when looking at lots of innovative ideas and the superleague clubs have very much been a part of those discussions but if we do return in the autumn and that will take additional investment if we did that, then it is likely to bea if we did that, then it is likely to be a short competition. hopefully one that keeps netball visible, keeps the profile of the sport high and gives something, and element of belief to our loyal fans that have been very patient through this period. the national hockey league has cut short the regular saeson with final positions based on average points. they still plan to have the stanley cup play—offs but the format will be changed to have round robin qualifiers injust two hub cities. i think realistically, if we are in a training camp in mid—july, that would be a good thing and if we could be playing by the end ofjuly, beginning of august, that would be a

good thing, too, but if it has to slide more, it will slide. there is a reason that we are not giving your date now because anybody who gives you a date is getting and we think we would rather take a more holistic approach to doing this. there's no wimbledon this summer but there will be some competitive tennis for the highest ranked british players. the lawn tennis association will look to stage four events around each weekend injuly. 16 men and 16 women will play behind closed doors at the national tennis centre in roehampton. there will also be a one day doubles event involving eight teams. finally, germam formula e driver daniel abt has been suspended by his team, audi, after he got a professional gamer to play under his name in a virtual race. in the latest round of the charity e—sports event, his third—place finish raised suspicions after he failed to score a single point in the previous four rounds. abt has explained that it was a joke and a mistake and has apologised.

a lot of drivers have rallied around and reminded people that it is just and reminded people that it is just a game. that is all the sport. i'll have more for you in the next hour. i will be with you for the next three hours to tiki through all the next coronavirus developments and more. as we've been reporting, 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 launch from american soil since 2011 — and two nasa astronauts earlier my colleague joanna gosling spoke to helen sharman, who was the first british astronaut to go into space in 1991, and tim peake,

who was the first british astronaut to visit the international space station. tim started by explaining why this mission was significant. this is huge, it is notjust the element of the commercial launch, which is obviously, for america, returning lunches to the usa, but europeans will fly in this vehicle as well. my classmate toma peske is the next esa astronaut in line to fly and that could spacex or boeing, the other commercial vehicle. so this is a game changer. how different is it going to look? the spacecraft itself is going back to the capsule, as opposed to the larger shuttle, so we're going back to a capsule style vehicle. so we're going back what's new and unique about it is the glass cockpit, lots of new technology, the first stage booster will come back and land on a ship out in the atlantic, and the capsule itself can be reused and that is what is driving down the cost of access to space. helen, you mentioned that once nasa resources can be

released for other things, that is when it is to get exciting and you mentioned the prospect of going to mars. what are your thoughts on where things will go from here? i think it's notjust the cost as tim said, but also the access to space for everybody. so this spacex crew dragon can seat seven people. nasa is likely to buy four seats, or perhaps in combination with, as tim says, european space agency and also the japanese space agency and others so people around the world will fly because their space agencies are paying spacex to do it. but that does release probably other seats that will be positioned underneath the four that the other astronauts will fly in, so three extra seats. now, who's going to buy those three extra seats? it could be a space agency, it could be a research institute, it could be some tourists, so i think the whole access to space issue changes as well, so that also increases this game changer idea.

i love the story of how you ended up going to space, helen, which is, you heard something on the radio, you applied to be put in the mix for somebody who would get to go into space. 13,000 applied, you were whittled down to one of two and you did it and it is amazing. in terms ofjust anybody being able to get on these flights and go up, what are the rigours of training and preparing for that process of going up into space? well, unfortunately, this still uses quite a hefty launch and in particular, this will have a splashdown so it is the re—entry that is going to be an interesting prospect. we haven't done a splashdown since apollo time and in particular, rescuing people from the water. what's going to be interesting is, how do we do that with astronauts who may have spent many months in space and how they will feel when they do splash down like that, rather than land on dry land? where, actually, it's easier, it's less risky rescuing people from dry land, as tim and i both

landed on dry land. a nice flat part of kazakhstan. relatively easy to be rescued from regardless of the weather. but in the sea, that is a different thing. people will probably have to be moderately healthy, let's say. a good healthy person. in the end, a bit like flying in airlines, it is going to become more commonplace so as long as nothing else wrong. you don't have to be hugely physically fit to fly into space, i don't think. i don't know what you think about that, tim? do you think we still need to be fit? i completely agree, i think we are opening up space flight to more and more people. there will have to be an element of medical selection but, no, i think you will find, as helen says, this will become more and more normal in the next ten to 15 years. you both will obviously hold a special place because you are in a very small elite at the moment. what do you think about that commercialisation and opening up, tim? i think it is very exciting.

international space station has been brilliant over the last 20 years in being our human outpost in space and be done and up a lot of valuable science and we have learned a lot about new technology as well, but we do want to go further, we want to go back to the moon and as helen said, we ultimately want to get to mars and in order to do that we need the help from commercial companies to take over low—earth orbit and be in partnership to provide things like launch vehicles, supply craft, etc. so, this is a great era, a new era of space flight we are about to embark on. in terms of what these missions achieve at each stage, what, helen, would you see as your legacy? obviously, the first british astronaut in space. in terms of what that mission delivered, do you have something that you would point to? i think my specific mission was exactly what you said, putting the first person from britain and getting britain on the map of international

human space flight. i did some experiments. i cannot really claim specific science was done because of my space flight but i think it is all part of this international collaboration and trying out new ways to cooperate with different countries. tim flew as part of the european space agency and of course, it is those agencies that need not just the resources but also the money to pay other people like the russian space agency to fly or possibly nasa or spacex to fly on crew dragon. it is just this whole opening up now. it is a completely new way of thinking about human space flight and if we can get this nice and reliable, what next? really, we can win it now started think very big. tim, how would you see your legacy? it is cooperation with

the international space station partnership that has been so successful and will continue to do so. what is exciting is that same partnership that is looking to go back to the men to build a gateway to go and do lunar surface operations so the uk being part of that partnership and continuing to do so, the european space agency is not part of the eu so our membership is not affected by brexit. this is very much our space agency and we are part of this future exploration and that is very exciting and i think people in the uk should be excited about it. as doug and bob continuing to launch hopefully later today, how will they be feeling? what is it like, that moment when you are about to be propelled into space? they are going to be feeling more excitement than anything else. of course there is some apprehension and anxiety, especially with a new test vehicle, but they are professional test pilots. they will have rehearse

this many times and frankly, they will be willing and delighted to get a mission into space and so they will be excited about the mission to come. helen, does it take you back? you were in your 20s when you went up. i think every astronaut remembers their launch, however many times they have done it. it is the beginning of that next phase. as tim says, we have trained for so long to do this but it is the launch where, actually, there is nothing new to do. you know what you need to do, you have trained for it, you trust all the teams that are working and have worked so hard to make that mission a success and now isjust the day that they got to get on and do it, so good luck to them. that blast of energy tonight in

florida so more to come later this evening, i'm sure. scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon has been answering questions in the scottish parliament this lunchtime. she told msps that a 13 more people have died after testing positive for coronavirus in scotland, making a total number of deaths of 2,304. ms sturgeon was also challenged on her government's policies over tackling the pandemic in care homes. the guidance in place is very clear, the patient should have been clinically risk assessed so therefore patients with symptoms should not have been discharged to care homes. clearly i did not see every patient who was discharged to a care home, i cannot stand here and give a categoric assurance that no patient with symptoms was discharge, it would be wrong for me to do that. but the guidance that was in place was very, very clear. similarly with isolation, the guidance that was issued to care homes in march made clear that there should not be communal dining, they should not be

communal activities, people in care home should be isolated in a way that has been hard for others, but particularly hard for older people living in care homes. currently while all parts of the system have to work together and are working together, the primary responsibility is for a care home providers to make sure that guidance is being followed and i will continue to expect that that is the case. it is not the case, and this is the issue i do take exception to, we have learned about this virus all along, we have had to adapt our approaches as we do, but at no point were older people treated like second—class citizens. at no point was there anything other than the greatest care and attention and thought given to the decisions that will be taken and the guidance that was being put in place and that will continue to be the case every single step of the way. jackson carlow. with or without hindsight, it is clear that what happened in our care homes in march and april was a national scandal. on monday, the first minister said undoubtedly there will

be an enquiry or enquiries into all aspects of this pandemic and i think that is right and proper. care homes will be part of that review. the scale of what had happened and what we need to have been so far 1749 deaths and the tragic stories of people like sandra and her mother underlined the need notjust for a review, but for a formal public enquiry into what has happened in our care homes specifically. will be first minister agree to confirm today that she will in due course instruct that formal public enquiry into the care home sector? first minister. of course there will be a public enquiry into this whole crisis in every aspect of that crisis and that will undoubtedly include what happened in care homes. decisions were taken for the best of reasons based on the best evidence, there were similar decisions taken in scotland to those that were taken around care homes in england, wales and as far as i am aware in northern ireland. those decisions, particularly around the way discharge were communicated very clearly to this parliament by the

health secretary. this is not something that was done without proper transparency and notification in the normal way. and we will look back on all of this and learn a lot, nobody or few people want to make sure that we learn all appropriate lessons more than i do. but throughout this crisis, i have taken the best decisions i can at every step of the way, based on the best information and evidence that i had at the time. all of these decisions have been tough, some have been really tough but i have not shied away from taking them, nor will i ever shy away from being candid about mistakes or instances where, had i known, then what i know now, i may have come to different conclusions. but that, presiding officer, is what leadership means. you have to make the tough calls when they are full to be made. you can't hide away with your head down, hoping that it all goes away and i hope jackson carlow and others will reflect on that.

the charity which runs the uk's national domestic abuse helpline has had a ten—fold increase in visits to its website in the past two weeks. refuge said numbers have "spiked again significantly" since it started recording rises during lockdown. but figures revealed to the bbc after a freedom of information request show that more uk police forces recorded a fall in calls about domestic violence at the start of lockdown, than recorded a rise. why the disparity? for some, lockdown has meant feeling trapped in an abusive situation at home. itjust got me down more and more. i thought i can't go on like this. this is one woman's experience, recreated and voiced by actors, to protect her identity. he got more and more aggressive, saying he'd like me to go now. he got a stick and he came back with it and he stood there with the stick in his hand and he said, "i want you out now

or i'm going to hurt you and you know i can kill you," waving this stick at me. and he really, really did frighten me. this woman has now escaped her situation. but that's not the case for many. the bbc asked all 45 of the uk's police forces how many domestic abuse calls they'd had. 41 responded. more than half had fewer calls at the start of lockdown than at the same time last year. but that's not the case for refuge, a domestic abuse charity that has seen 66% more calls and almost 1,000% increase to its website in lockdown. as director of communications, lisa king explains. refuge is concerned to see such demand on its services and what we really want all women to know is that they are not alone. that domestic abuse is a crime and that refuge is here to support them every hour of every day. it shows that domestic abuse is perhaps a bigger issue than we have even anticipated in this country.

but why is there not a similar recorded increase in police calls? there needs to be an understanding of what domestic abuse is. claire walker is a domestic abuse consultant and she thinks more training is needed to spot the signs. 100% of victims will experience coercive control. not so much what he does, it's about what he... ..disables her from being able to do. their systems and their policies and practices need to change. i am tired of police officers not understanding what coercive control is. the country's leading domestic abuse police officer, louisa rolfe, says that all front line officers across the uk receive training to spot the signs of coercive or controlling behaviour. she adds they are working with domestic abuse charities to understand the nature of their demand. ever since the pandemic began,

countries around the world have been desperately trying to get hold of personal protective equipment — or ppe. that's the gloves, facemasks and gowns needed for doctors, nurses and carers. but what happens when these items, mostly made of plastic, get thrown away? the bbc‘s tim allman reports on the potential hazards of discarded ppe. in the waters off the coast of southern france, a perhaps unexpected consequence of covid—19. this video, shot by an environmentalist called laurent lombard, appears to show disposable gloves on the sea bed, near the resort of antibes. and it's notjust gloves. there are face masks, too, in amongst the usual plastic pollution of the mediterranean. laurent lombard is part of a group called operation clean sea, which describes the oceans as our heritage that

must be respected. this is what he found during just two hours of snorkelling, dozens of plastic bottles and, lying in a row at the front, face masks and latex gloves. the demand for personal protective equipment has been, understandably, huge, country after country scrambling to get hold of as much of this stuff as they can. france alone is reported to have ordered somewhere in the region of 2 billion face masks. much of it cannot be reused and some of it seems to be ending up discarded in the ocean. this has been described as a new form of pollution and there has been a warning that if nothing is done, we may end up with more face masks than jellyfish in the mediterranean. tim allman, bbc news. many couples across the uk have

been forced to cancel their wedding but one doctor and nurse from south london were able to tie the knot this week, in the hospital chapel where they both work. after calling off their august wedding because of fears their family would be unable to attend, jann and annalan decided to hold their nuptials early in the grade 2 listed chapel, at st thomas' hospital. they described the day as "intimate" and "lovely", but said it felt "surreal" getting married at work. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett. hello there. it's been a dry day for most of the country again today, the sunshine has been beating down. this was the weather watcher picture taken in shropshire earlier on and not a cloud in the sky. some areas have been seeing some cloud here, for example,

in cambridgeshire and east anglia we had some cloud, limiting the temperature rise for a while but that has been thinning and breaking. we have got high pressure still in charge of our weather, this little weather front is approaching into the north—west, mind you, and that will probably steer to the north of northern ireland but it will bring more cloud this evening and overnight into scotland and some rain for a while across the northern half of the country. we will see see some mist and low cloud coming in some eastern parts of england but the earlier fog has now cleared away from the south—west and it should be clear here overnight and, for most places, it really will be a mild one again. as we head into tomorrow, what's left of the rain, this time in the north—east of scotland by early morning, will move away into the north sea. the cloud will thin in scotland, we will get sunshine developing more widely. a lot of sunshine to come for northern ireland and across england and wales, once that low cloud moves away from eastern parts of england. more of a breeze probably and it is an easterly breeze, so temperatures will not be as high in the south—east of england,

that warmth is probably getting pushed a little bit further towards the west. any cloud again across eastern england on friday won't last long and it is sunshine pretty much all the way. that breeze is continuing to pick up and turning more to a southerly as you head northwards across the uk, so it will push the heat further north, probably making the mid 20s or so even in the central belt of scotland. probably warmer in glasgow than it will be in london. over the weekend, still got high pressure in charge, going to be centred over scandinavia, these weather fronts will be kept at bay and then we are going to start to draw our air and from continental europe. temperatures probably aren't going to change a huge amount, we are looking at highs of around about the mid 20s or so. but there will be a lot of sunshine this weekend and it remains strong sunshine, high uv levels pretty much across the whole of the country. there may be a bit more cloud at times in scotland and northern ireland but probably not a great deal, temperatures here maybe getting into the mid 20s, highs of 26 or 27 in the sunshine and no rain. it's been a very dry month for much

of the country and it could be a possible record—breaking may, especially in the south—east.

this is bbc news. i'm jane hill. the headlines... localised lockdowns may be introduced in england a outbreaks of coronavirus in the future — as part of the government's test, track and trace system. but some health officials express concern 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. 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
