good to have you with us. it's a day of major change in england as lockdown restrictions continue to ease. after almost three months, all non—essential shops can reopen today, if they bring in strict safety measures. and people travelling on public transport will have to wear a face covering or face a potential fine. graham satchell takes a look at the changes. for almost three months, high streets have been deserted, town centres empty. but from today in england, things change. all nonessential shops, cloves, books, charities, everything can reopen. it be farfrom

books, charities, everything can reopen. it be far from the norm, one way systems, hand sanitisers, perspex screens, social distancing, and of course, cues. i don't mind doing. i don't mind, as i can into the shops and see what is available. it will be just nice to feel more normal. editor of the safety measures, i am still cautious to go out in public. and i definitely think, as soon as the normal shops open, there will be a huge rush. and i'm too careful about my own well— being so probably just won't go out. three please rememberto use a won't go out. three please remember to use a face covering while travelling on tml services. travel will also be different from today. base coverings are now compulsory on buses, trains, trams, ferries and planes, were some exemptions for smaller children and people were some medical conditions. and there will be more flights, easyjet for example, will resume a small number of passenger journeys from this morning. there are changes in education, some

secondary schools in england will open today byjust four yea rs ten will open today byjust four years ten and i2. will open today byjust four years ten and 12. again, there will be one way systems, social distancing, and smaller class sizes. and some outdoor attractions like zoos will also open from today. lockdown is being eased and england will look and feel considerably different. it will need more time and patience to work. graham satchell, bbc news. tell us what you think. i am on twitter. many of you have told me your thoughts already and we will share them a little later. to get involved in that conversation. —— in europe, many restrictions will be eased from monday, although it will not be a return to the open travel from before. spain won't be allowing foreign tourists until june 21st. denmark will allow tourists from iceland, germany and norway — but not sweden. the czech republic will also bar entry

for tourists from sweden and portugal — seen as orange and red countries on the traffic light system. in belgium, around 60 flights will operate out of brussels airport — just 10% of its normal capacity. in neighbouring france, president emmanuel macron says his country has scored a first victory over the coronavirus and has strongly defended his latest strategy in dealing with the pandemic. in his latest televised address to the nation, more than three months after lockdown, he set out his roadmap for getting the country back to normal. freya cole reports. in france, the mood is upbeat. the plan to reopen society to save the economy has been accelerated. translation: we are going to be able to turn the page on the first chapter, in a manner of speaking, of the crisis we have just been through. from monday, the whole country, apart from mayotte and guyane, where the virus is still

actively spreading, the whole country will become part of what we now call the green zone which will allow a greater return to work and a reopening of cafes a nd restau ra nts in the paris region. it's now been a month since the country started easing lockdown measures and there has been no rise in new coronavirus cases. it means businesses will reopen fully and residents can travel across europe. from next week, nurseries and both primary and secondary schools will welcome back students, and byjuly ist, international travel will be permitted to and from countries where the virus is under control. president emmanuel macron is particularly keen to support local companies and pivot away from global supply chains, a move which won't come cheap. translation: we will not finance spending by increasing taxes. the only answer is to build an economic model which is sustainable, stronger, and produce more so we don't

depend on others. hand sanitiser, face masks and social distancing will all play a big part in discovering the new french way of life. freya cole, bbc news. now on to other news. a court in the philippines has convicted the prominent journalist, maria ressa, of libel. she and a former writer with her news website, rappler, were found guilty by the court in manila. both now face up to six years injail, though they've been released on bail pending appeal. the case has been seen as a test of freedom of the press in philippines — maria ressa, along with human rights campaigners say she's been targeted because of her website's criticism of the country's president — rodrigo duterte. for more, i'm joined by our correspondent in manila, howard johnson. howard, tell us more about this

case. yes, this case all dates back to 2012, may 2012, when this article was first published against this businessman. it alleged he was involved in drug smuggling and human trafficking, citing an intelligence report. something the businessman has always denied. what happened today, some eight years after this article has been published, we have seen that the verdict has been delivered that rappler we re been delivered that rappler were guilty of cyber libel not providing the evidence they cited in that report he was involved in, those shady practices, as they put it in the article. thejudge practices, as they put it in the article. the judge said this had nothing to do with the government because rappler have a lwa ys government because rappler have always been saying, this is pa rt always been saying, this is part of a campaign by the government, 11 cases filed against them in 2018, including tax evasion and foreign ownership violations. they saw that as a wider concerted effort to try and bring down

the government. the government have always said this is just a private case by a businessman who believed his name had been dragged through the mud in the public. today, we have seen that the two defendants have been found guilty, they have posted bail, and will have to pay mr king around $8,000 in damages. and this is really being seen as journalists in the country as a test case? yes, what we are seeing today is that if you're going to publish something online in the philippines, you may be criminally charged for it. you may be spending time for it in jail. up to six years for maria ressa, and at best six months. what we're seeing is people in this country saying, human rights defenders and journalist saying, they have been repeatedly attacked since duterte came to power online. there is a nasty online trial culture in this country, not unique to this country, but particularly fierce when it death threats are bandied about when you write articles not

perceived well by supporters of the government. not much has been done to tackle that issue over the last few years. and what we have seen is the government always say, no, we are absolutely into freedom of speech and that is why they allow people like the bbc to report from the country. they say they are all for freedom of speech but you must play by the rules of the law. if you write an article that has not been properly verified, then you will suffer the consequences. 0k, will suffer the consequences. ok, thank you howard johnson in manila for us. earlier we spoke to glenda gloria, managing editor of rappler, about what this decision means for maria ressa, the publication, and freedom of the press in the philippines. it is a tragedy for all of us here at rappler but also the nation. it's been four years after all, a lot of attacks against journalists and

activists in the philipines, but what we like to see is to continue to hold the line. this is a blow to the journalism rappler has been known for. we will continue to shine a light on the critical issues in the country. the article around which this case centred dates back to 2012. well, actually this is available defence and the judge upheld the original bail that was already posted. we will huddle with the lawyers and the next step will be to file a case for the court of appeal, to appeal the decision. that's something that we will have to consult our lawyers on. britain's prime minister, borisjohnson has announced he is setting up a commission to look into all aspects of inequality, in response to anti—racism protests, triggered by the killing

of george floyd. he gave no details, but said he wanted to stamp out racism, and stop discrimination and the sense of victimisation. meanwhile a man has been charged with outraging public decency after a photograph emerged from a protest on saturday — of a man apparently urinating next to the memorial of a policeman, who was killed in the 2017 westminster attack. but another photograph, of a black briton coming to a white protester‘s aid, has been praised — as a symbol of unity. sean dilley reports. a snapshot in time gone viral. this was the moment a badly injured white protester was rescued by a lacklustre matter supporter. i wasn't thinking. rescued by a lacklustre matter supporter. iwasn't thinking. i was just supporter. iwasn't thinking. i wasjust thinking of, you know, a human being on the floor. it wasn't going to end well had we not intervened. patrick hutchison stepped in it when the man became separated from his script. i skipped him up

into a fireman ‘s carry and sort of marched him out with the guys around him protecting me and shielding me and protecting the sky from getting further punishment. and that is thejob further punishment. and that is the job patrick says further punishment. and that is thejob patrick says he further punishment. and that is the job patrick says he was there to do. had we allowed something like that to happen with all of us there present, you know, the narrative would have been very different today. and, you know, black lives matter, the media, whoever, would have painted a different picture. thousands turned out in support of separate protests in the capital organised by antiracism and far right groups. it wasn't long before pockets of violence flared up. protesters clashed with each other and six police officers we re other and six police officers were injured. patrick, a personal fitness trainer by day stepped in when he saw this man in distress. it was a bit of a melee on the stairs. the guy

ended up on the floor. and these guys rushed in to stop him from getting trampled. the government later said that the largely peaceful protests were hijacked by a violent minority. patrick hutchinson said he was pleased to protect the reputation of the peaceful majority. the only thought in my mind was to get him to safety. sean dilley, bbc news. let's get some of the day's other news. thousands of people have joined the latest black lives matter protests in the us. demonstrators in atlanta gathered outside burnt—out remains of a drive—through restaurant where police shot dead a black man, rayshard brooks, on friday. crowds again gathered in washington near the white house. irish political parties fianna fail, fine gael and the greens will sign a deal on monday on the formation of a new coalition government. talks will resume later to resolve the final issues. it follows the election on february 8th where none of the parties gained enough seats to form a majority government.

india has been converting train carriages into isolation wards since april, but doctors say a failure to test adequately has been one of the reasons behind the surge in cases. we have to stop the chain of transmission, which is the main thing we have to do. but our government is not very committed to testing. on friday, the supreme court criticised delhi and three other states, saying covid—19 patients were being treated worse than animals. but delhi's chief minister has largely defended his state's handling of the pandemic. translation: we have been making a note and trying to identify the problems in the system and to rectify them so that more people don't suffer in the coming days. some businesses, markets and places of worship have been allowed to open back up, but the move has been criticised for being too soon and too fast. i think this is not the right time to open up the economy.

strong season but instead were hit by the coronavirus donem was very hard for us because we invested a lot of money in our hotel and restaurant but we are hopeful that the future will be positive. another is taking pa rt positive. another is taking part ina positive. another is taking part in a pilot project aimed at reassuring tourists, especially those from neighbouring germany. every week, its staff is tested the covid—19. the tests are run by the red cross and paid for the government. one of the waiters says it is about safety for everyone, staff and guests. it's an easy test, yeah. this is what we have to do, and i think the kirchenwirt hotel does everything we can to protect our customers. up to 65,000 hotel workers are hoped to be tested each week by the

beginning ofjuly. when we decided to offer this to the tourism sector, because it's a very important for the austrian economy, the whole country more or less, because it's very important in this very special year to have as much tourists as possible. hotels who participate in the testing programme will receive a special certificate which they can use for their websites and marketing. no—one wants to come on holiday and be worried. austria is hoping these tests will help to sway people to come back and save something of the summer season. bethany bell, bbc news, weissenkirchen, in austria. one of bollywood's best known actors, sushant singh rajput, has been found dead in his

hello there. the broad weather pattern is going to change very little over the week ahead. it will be a week of contrasts in the uk, as it was over the weekend. many places in the south of england having a warm and sunny day on sunday. a dramatic skyline, though, in the north—west of england following those late in the day thundery showers, and an area of low pressure is keeping this very unstable airacross the uk, so more showers to come. a lot of low cloud is streaming in from off the north sea at the moment so a grey start in some places. but over the weekend, we keep this mixture of warm sunshine, but some heavy and thundery downpours. many places starting dry on monday. grey start for much of scotland and the north—east of england, down to lincolnshire and east anglia, burning back to coastal areas, sunshine develops more widely. as it warms up we develop those showers, particularly in the afternoon.

some of them heavy and thundery. not many showers across southern england. probably more chance of picking up some downpours as you move northwards across the midlands, wales, into the north—west of england and perhaps northern ireland. again a few sharp showers though are possible in western scotland, where it is going to be an awful lot warmer than it will be for eastern scotland, where we are struggling with that low cloud, the haar that's coming in off the north sea. now, many places will end monday dry and probably quite sunny as well, but there will be a few sharp showers still around in the evening. those will then fade away overnight, but we have still got this flabby area of low pressure. not a great deal to see on the pressure chart but enough low pressure and enough instability in the air to bring us more showers. and many places will start the day dry on tuesday again. a grey start for the north—east of the uk. should brighten up in most areas, some sunshine but, again, we trigger those showers. probably more widely those showers developing during the day on tuesday. again some slow—moving, heavy,

perhaps thundery downpours and temperatures again typically into the low 20s, as they will be again probably on wednesday. not a great deal is changing. those showers developing, perhaps this time more towards the west and the south of the uk. so for eastern scotland, north—east of england, whilst it may be a bit grey at times, it should be largely dry, and there may be some sunshine at times as well. temperatures not changing a great deal over the week ahead. we keep those heavy thundery showers going through thursday and friday, particularly across more southern parts of the uk as it dries up further north.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. to shop or not to shop? retailers open up their stores across the eu and england today, but will customers show up or continue to buy online? and a street festival gone virtual — can it recreate the hustle and bustle of a night market online? hello and welcome to audiences in the uk and around the world.

first, shops in england selling non—essential goods can reopen from today for the first time in three months, provided adequate safety measures are in place. a key moment for the industry that has been hit hard by the pandemic — the british retail consortium estimates the lockdown has cost those retailers 1.8 billion pounds a week in lost sales. the prime minister, borisjohnson, says we should shop with confidence, and is encouraging us to do our bit to boost the economy, but will shoppers return on mass or stay away? joining me now is andrew goodacre, chief executive of the british independent retailers association welcome to the programme. what are your thoughts? will consumers return with confidence or not? we certainly hope so and there is no reason why they should not be confident stopping the retailers have made steps to reassure and to keep their shops safe for employees and

customers, so we hope they will, we also understand why there is apprehension, and i don't think any retailer expects a return to normal. there is a moment of a new beginning for the high street today, and i am interested to see what happens. the retailers that you know and talk to in your association, how tough has it been and difficult to get ready for today? it has been extremely tough, if you are a non—essential retailer opening up non—essential retailer opening up today, there has been no money coming in for 12 weeks, and this is the first time they will have had customers with 12 or 13 weeks, so incredibly difficult. they had worked hard to make sure the business is safe for employees and customers but also they have had to really think about their business model as well and what they will do to operate differently in order to attract differently in order to attract different customers, to operate differently, and actually manage a business that will have lower football and customers in the immediate

future. presumably, retailers have to have an online presence, that is so critical, and many of them have managed to keep going that way in these 12 weeks? it was clear before, and it is even clearer now stopping number of online transactions have doubled during the lockdown. we have seen many members, from wind members to boutique shops have used the internet to virtual winetasting and fashion shows. many businesses have no deliveries are developed a website for the first time ever, so that is a trend that needs to happen, and bricks and mortar traditional retailing and online retailing can become complementary, they do need to be substitutional. briefly, how concerned are you that the small independent shops may face closure, regardless? samuel, sadly. there will be some casualties, small and

large because the consumer shopping behaviours will have changed. what is good news for the independent retailer where they tended to lock themselves into a more local situation is there is a clear trend that people want to stay local and support the local businesses. we have just done some research today, that they will support the trend, and that hopefully gives a brighter future for independent retailers. thank you for your time so early this morning. let's now discuss the situation across the rest of europe. some countries lifted lockdown restrictions several weeks ago to talk to us about how the eu's retailers are coping and ensuring customers are safe. joining me now from brussels is christian verschueren, director—general of eurocommerce. welcome to the programme. for those countries that lifted measures a while ago, how are they faring? how are retailers coping and managing? what we

have seen of causes that the reopening of the store was a major relief for sector, however, in general, the football has not been the same as before. typically numbers are around 30% of the people, so despite the fact, and also in countries like sweden which have not closed their stores, their shops at all, we have seen consumption in football being reduced. that is for a number of reasons, people are fea rful of number of reasons, people are fearful of contamination, and also of spending too much, not having enough disposable income because they have lost their job or they are in fear of losing theirjobs, however, some of the sectors have been doing better than others at. we have seen consumer electronics, home improvement, do it yourself, people that have waited for so long to do repairs on the houses have really gone back to the massive shops and that has been a

significant bath. sectors hardly had have been in the fashion sectors and shoes, so that has been the situation stopping the other important point, when people go out for shopping, they really do because they have to buy, so we're seeing a conversion rate of around 90% in consumer electronics, so people go out to shop, nine times of ten, the convert that into a shop, and actual spending of money. positive i guess but for many, going out to shop as part of an experience when they go for a coffee, have a meal, and with restau ra nts, coffee, have a meal, and with restaurants, bars and coffee shops and country still closed in many cases, does that put people off as well? is that a reasonable low football? it does, and indeed because the combination of shopping and going for a meal or copy has a lwa ys going for a meal or copy has always been part of the shopping experience and enjoyment, so people have now been shopping more out of necessity than out of

enjoyment, but hopefully as restau ra nts enjoyment, but hopefully as restaurants open up, we see that in a number of countries, the joy of that in a number of countries, thejoy of shopping that in a number of countries, the joy of shopping will come back. good to talk to you, thanks forjoining us as well and thank you for your comments, so many people have beenin comments, so many people have been in touch to say you will not go near the shops yet, many of you are quite concerned about safety or cues, all the house. we keep them coming. now lets head to the us. georgia was one of the first states in america to reopen after the coronavirus hit, a decision that caused many to criticise the state's governor brian kemp. many non—essential businesses have since reopened. cody godwin paid a visit to a locally owned jewelry store in canton, georgia, to see what business has been like post—lockdown. this jewellery has been thisjewellery has been in this jewellery has been in this location since 1957, and in ca nton location since 1957, and in canton georgia for even longer stopping the store is on its third generation of owners, and just to survive its first pandemic. they were forced to

close for a month and took a huge financial hit. the story open at the beginning of may. we did better this past me there our three average. and in there our three average. and in the jewellery business, there our three average. and in thejewellery business, one sale can make your day, your week or month sometimes, so you just never know until it's over, but we are running behind the average at this point in time. compared to some parts of the us, canton and its neighbouring towns have not been badly hit by the virus, and like many parts of georgia, they have been able to reopen stores quickly, without social distancing rules for many other precautions. but this strop is accommodating those who might be coming inside. we deliver things as well, so we are trying to as always, trying to serve our customers the best way that we possibly can. we try to clean regularly, so all of my crew, and a lot of my family, vrr around a lot of each other a lot anyway. businesses around here are eager to reopen, some kind yet

and others never will. some local governments are ready to restart their economies but they first have to prove the businesses that it is safe to do so. the local government is providing some assistance to local businesses by giving them money back. we talked with some of our business owners to try to figure out what their issues were, and it seemed like having available cash at hand was the big issue. so, what other things we felt like if we could get some of that cash that they have paid us to them, maybe thatis have paid us to them, maybe that is a local stimulus for them. according to mr pappas, ca nton them. according to mr pappas, canton is a town steadily growing and that growth is what allowed so many businesses to survive the pandemic, but this is one example of what a post pandemic economy could look like, but the reality is, it might not be like that in many places across the country stopping the us entered a recession in february, but the stock market has already returned to pre— pandemic highs. of the economy is going to keep that outlook, it's going to need small businesses and consumers to come back.

china has released a slew of economic data. first, factories are starting to get busy, with industrial output rising by 4.4% in the month of may. but consumers are still reluctant to spend — retail sales down by nearly 3%. let's go to karishma vaswani in our asia business hub. everyone watches china, like a hawk. what does today's news tell us? it tells us what we are seeing across the world, that consumers are not feeling confident enough yet to head back into the stores, even though, china for instance was the first country into the coronavirus pandemic and arguably is the first one out, and we are still seeing somewhat of a recovery there but it is not fast enough, as you were saying, the retail sales, they shrank by about 3% in may, that is better than

what we saw in the previous month, it is an improvement but still, when you look through the data, you can really see the data, you can really see the impact of the coronavirus has had on the economy, social distancing measures have had catering businesses, spending on clothing is continuing to shrink because people are staying at home, so they are not buying new clothes and heading out to have a drink or anything after work, but factories are producing more, thatis factories are producing more, that is fair to say, we did see industrial production pick up, but there are still lingering concerns over where these factories are going to sell their products, and who they are going to sell their products to its demand in the rest of the world remains weak. also of course there is concern about a second wave. is that having an impact? definitely. is becoming more of a concern, especially given that these are the first set of coronavirus cases we have seen in china in a long time, and that as many a nalysts a long time, and that as many analysts concerned about what this will do to consumer

sentiment, as alan craig told mea sentiment, as alan craig told me a little earlier sydney. so far we have seen the recovery in china has been fairly patchy to date, we have seen that industrial production and manufacturing rebound in a much faster pace than the consumer has every look at the retail sales data, and i think that is something that there's second wave in beijing could really play into as well over the future months, because we have seen that the consumer is somewhat fearful to go out and spend after this pandemic, they have kept their purse strings fairly tight, and that is even as we have seen some of the local state governments in china handing out vouchers to get consumers back out and spending, and it has had little effect, because the consumer is still very depressed relative to that industrial production side of the economy, and a second wave is playing into that with those health concerns dampening consumer spending somewhat more. that is fairly clear, thank you and good to

see you. let's see how financial markets are doing in asia today. you can see japan down a percent and hong kong losing quite a bit of ground, and safe havens like gold are proving popular. again, fears of a second wave dampening market sentiment today. let's get some of the day's other news. the spanish government will unveil a $4.2 billion stimulus program for the country's car industry. spain's car industry is europe's second—biggest. the plan includes reforms to the investment framework and fiscal rules, prime minister pedrosanchez said in a speech sunday in madrid. president emmanuel macron said on sunday he was accelerating france's exit from its coronavirus lockdown and that the crisis had laid bare the country's need for greater economic independence. restaurants and cafes in paris will be allowed to reopen fully from today, he said. france also lifts restrictions at its borders for european union travellers, bringing sorely needed relief for the hospitality industry.

if you've ever been to a street fair, you know it's all about the atmosphere. in singapore, a street festival modelled after taiwan's famous night market is going virtual this year. but what are the challenges of recreating the hustle and bustle of an outdoor night market online? let's take a look. at that live shopping, live streaming, digitisation of the festival is one way that we can

up festival is one way that we can up skill. the main challenge for us is to bring everyone to a digital event. the hustle and bustle, the heat, the crowds. the one thing goodies you won't bump into people, you don't have the hotness but there is also one of the fun things about the market. this is the

only other avenue where we can haveit only other avenue where we can have it for ourselves. things will only get better because you realise it is big. those of the latest business stories. you are with bbc news. police have condemned two large illegal raves in greater manchester which attracted around 6,000 people on saturday night. a man died from a suspected drug overdose at one event, while three men were stabbed and a woman was raped at the other. greater manchester police criticised the thousands who breached lockdown restrictions to attend.

portuguese police say the german evidence against the new suspect in the madeleine mccann case is significant. madeleine was three when she disappeared while on holiday with her family in the resort of praia da luz in 2007. a senior police source told the bbc that evidence found by german detectives against a convicted sex offender — known as christian b — is very important to the investigation. the new suspect is believed to have been in the same area as madeleine at the time. coming up at 6 o'clock on breakfast, dan walker and sally nugent will have all the day's news, business and sport. this is bbc news, the latest headlines: shops in england selling non—essential goods can reopen today for the first time in almost three months. the prominentjournalist, maria ressa, has been convicted of libel in the philippines. the editor of the rappler news website now faces a possible jail sentence of up

to seven years. atlanta is one of many us cities to have seen protests since the killing last month of george floyd by police in minneapolis. and around the world, thousands of people have joined marches against racism. the bbc‘s clive myrie looks now at whether this could be a watershed moment for the politics of race in america. george floyd's death was an american tragedy that sparked an outpouring of anger and soul—searching. we don't want no more police. but look at the faces. we are done dying! it wasn't just black america that was appalled, but white america too. chanting: don't shoot, don't shoot! this is a seismic shift in attitudes towards police brutality and racism.

it was a point addressed by one black veteran civil rights activist at george floyd's funeral who had marched side—by—side with dr martin luther king. back in the days when i used to be part of marches, all the marchers were black. but now, there are white people who know the story, and there are hispanics who know the story, and there are asians who know the story. it's the denial on the part of much of white america that racism is widespread and real that's helped perpetuate the discrimination that they claim doesn't exist. listen to charlie sykes, a former right—wing talkshow host and staunch republican conservative. if you're a white american you might think this happens but it's random, it's a few bad apples here and there, but i think what we have been seeing the last couple of weeks

is the recognition that it's notjust a few bad apples, it is systemic, it's incredibly widespread and that this situation, in fact, we have been in denial on it. penny sitz lives in one of minneapolis' comfortable suburbs, three streets away from the police officer who knelt on george floyd's neck. for the first time in her life, she's been taking part in street protests with her family. what has surprised me in the past week has been seeing how widespread the abuse is and the brutality is. this is something i had no idea about. i knew it happened in a few big cities but i didn't think it was as widespread as it is. george floyd's brutal death held up a mirror to this country and most americans didn't like what they saw. if lasting change does come, it will be because of the sacrifice of one man who managed to bridge a once unbridgeable racial divide. clive myrie, bbc news.

later today some secondary school pupils in england return to the classroom. years 10 and 12 will get some teaching in school this term to help them begin to catch—up, ahead of gcse and a—level exams next year. wales will start opening schools on 29th of june, with scotland and northern ireland waiting until august. here's our education editor bra nwen jeffreys. schools, empty of teenagers these last few months, will from tomorrow echo with their pupils' voices. no—one's seen anything like it before. there is a mixture of different emotions for it. i'm really excited to see the teachers again, and obviously friends at school. and from what i know, the school have done everything they can to make it safe for us. at home with his parents, lawrence now wants to catch up. and are you worried now about your exams next year?

slightly, yeah, iam. i mean, i was already nervous already, cos like you say, it's such a big year. adam, also year ten, told me it will be tough. i think it's going to be very hard for a lot of us, and like mentally it will probably be a bit of a struggle with all, like, the revision were going to have to do, all the catch up and in—the—school learning. at school, this is what they'll find , marquees for extra space. so this is where we put out all the desks and chairs the place to eat packed lunches and for lessons. this school lucky to have outside stairs and walkways. have we got any other things we need to be thinking about? miss hardingham plans to offer six days of teaching to year tens. i would say, for the vast majority of children, and certainly for the children that we worry most about, our disadvantaged students and our vulnerable students, they really need the guidance of their teachers.

schools are planned based on the two—metre distance advice. today, ministers have confirmed that is now under review. every school building is different, and that means each head teacher has to look at the government advice and work out the risks for their own school. but what is clear is that as long as there is any social distancing, and it doesn't matter what the distance is, there will still be a lot of learning at home. how much difference would it make to you to go from two metres to one metre social distance? the concept of cramming 1090 children and over 150 staff into this building and somehow saying they can stay a metre apart at all times, that isn't workable. but it would possibly give us the situation where we could maybe have half of the cohort in. there will be a cloth already laid on the table for them for as long as risks have to be managed, nothing about school will be completely

back to normal. branwen jeffreys, bbc news, portsmouth. soa so a lot of change within england. we've been talking to you what you think about all of this, particularly when comes to and retail, those nonessential goods. it's our top story on line. shops reopening. preparing for this big shift. debra chapman says restrictions of put me off going. no sally, as i would have to go on public transport. and i'm just not confident that it is safe. i will not be going. unless to get essentials only. most of the people are

saying they are avoiding the shops. thanks for your company. hello there. the broad weather pattern is going to change very little over the week ahead. it will be a week of contrasts in the uk, as it was over the weekend. many places in the south of england having a warm and sunny day on sunday. a dramatic skyline, though, in the north—west of england following those late in the day thundery showers, and an area of low pressure is keeping this very unstable airacross the uk, so more showers to come. a lot of low cloud is streaming in from off the north sea at the moment so a grey start in some places. but over the weekend, we keep this mixture of warm sunshine, but some heavy and thundery downpours. many places starting dry on monday. grey start for much of scotland and the north—east of england, down to lincolnshire and east anglia, burning back to coastal areas, sunshine develops more widely. as it warms up we

develop those showers, particularly in the afternoon. some of them heavy and thundery. not many showers across southern england. probably more chance of picking up some downpours as you move northwards across the midlands, wales, into the north—west of england and perhaps northern ireland. again a few sharp showers though are possible in western scotland, where it is going to be an awful lot warmer than it will be for eastern scotland, where we are struggling with that low cloud, the haar that's coming in off the north sea. now, many places will end monday dry and probably quite sunny as well, but there will be a few sharp showers still around in the evening. those will then fade away overnight, but we have still got this flabby area of low pressure. not a great deal to see on the pressure chart but enough low pressure and enough instability in the air to bring us more showers. and many places will start the day dry on tuesday again. a grey start for the north—east of the uk. should brighten up in most areas, some sunshine but, again, we trigger those showers. probably more widely those showers developing

during the day on tuesday. again some slow—moving, heavy, perhaps thundery downpours and temperatures again typically into the low 20s, as they will be again probably on wednesday. not a great deal is changing. those showers developing, perhaps this time more towards the west and the south of the uk. so for eastern scotland, north—east of england, whilst it may be a bit grey at times, it should be largely dry, and there may be some sunshine at times as well. temperatures not changing a great deal over the week ahead. we keep those heavy thundery showers going through thursday and friday, particularly across more southern parts of the uk as it dries up further north.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. our headlines today: back in business. thousands of shops in england re—open after nearly three months of lockdown. a different way of shopping and queueing today for shops reopening, but, will customers be up for it? i am at but, will customers be up for it? i amata but, will customers be up for it? i am at a retail park in cheshire to find out. face coverings are now compulsory for passengers on public transport in england. praise for the black lives matter supporter who saved another man from violent protests. i wasn't thinking, i was
