6:05 am
to try to get it reduced. this week restau ra nts things like headdresses in pubs and restaurants could reopen. i think we we have seen quite a few senior conservative benches coming out of need to treat — july fourth date with a bit of caution, though. the saying, look, it needs to be reduced government has consistently said it and it needs to be reduced now. the is from july fourth at the earliest, reason for that it is coming up to but it has also said it will only do things if it is guided by the the date, july four, which is when science and safe to do so. but it is borisjohnson said phase three of coming up fast and there is going to his roadmap would come in. that is be pressure for the government to like reopening pubs and restaurants. speu be pressure for the government to spell out if it is likely to happen, again, it is key to say that we and under what conditions. before we should not take that fourth ofjuly get to that announcement, though, date as definitive either. the whatever it might be, and whenever government has consistently said it it might be, it does feel like the is from the fourth ofjuly at the earliest, but certainly that is mood music, hints and suggestions coming from westminster at the coming up quickly, so they will be moment, do seem to be trying to pressure on the government to set encourage us moment, do seem to be trying to encourage us to moment, do seem to be trying to encourage us to come moment, do seem to be trying to encourage us to come out of locked out the direction of travel and when down a bit more readily? well, it is or if that might happen, and how it certainly true the government wants will happen around the two metre to give the economy a shot in the rule. boris johnson said yesterday, watch this space. it does feel like arm, and there are worries about the health impacts of people staying in lockdown too long. certainly it does the government is trying to what is wa nt to lockdown too long. certainly it does want to get us out and about a bit the government is trying to what is the word, nudge us to try to get us more. but there is a communications challengerfor to think more positively about more. but there is a communications challenger for the government. if it coming out of lockdown. is that how does decide to reduce that to me to you see it? there is certainly no distancing, how does it convince doubt the government wants to get the economy started again and it people that, having said two metres does mean people being out a bit is the safe distance for so long, more. but there is a communication that anything less is now safe?
6:06 am
challenge. if the government does borisjohnson has suggested in the past week that is to do with the decide to reduce that to me to infection rate, and if it is less social distancing rule. after having likely that the person next to has set for so long that is the safe covid, perhaps it is safer be a bit distance, how do you now convince closer. but the flipside of that people it is safe to not stay quite challenges, how do you convince that far apart, but one metre is people that is safe, without sufficient? we have heard from boris convincing them that everything is fine and we can all go back to johnson recently, his explanation normal and completely ignore social sort of being that once they think distancing? so there is a delicate the infection rate is low enough that the chance of somebody you are balance and the government will have to strike it. and i suppose the going to be next to to be carrying it are pretty low, but is perhaps other administrations around the uk what it becomes a bit safer to lower will have to do so as well. thank the distance. so you have got that you, helen. president trump will stage a controversial rally in oklahoma communication issue that the later, one day after marches government is going to have to face. were held across the us to mark of course it has always said that it juneteenth, a holiday celebrating will be following the science, and the end of slavery in the country. will be following the science, and will only be doing these things and thousands of people took changing these measures when it is to the streets on friday safe to do so. helen, thank you. following weeks of calls for racialjustice. david willis reports. president trump will stage a controversial rally in oklahoma later, one day after marches were held across the us to mark juneteenth, a holiday celebrating it isa the end of slavery in the country. it is a date on the calendar that thousands of people took to the streets on friday for most white americans has following weeks of calls previously passed without for racialjustice. recognition. but this year was our north america correspondent, david willis, is in la. different. coming amid widespread why is this rally controversial? protests over the death of george floyd, juneteenth has ta ken protests over the death of george floyd, juneteenth has taken on a new

today we're joined off wet. it is not going to stay by dr nighat arif. good morning, nice to speak to you like that throughout the day, but plenty of isobars on the charts. the once again. loads to talk about, not winds will be more of the features are going to the second half of the least this news today that we are weekend, and we will see some seeing that the government is going to announce its review into the steadily moving its way. around about coffee time it should have whole two metre distancing guidance, which could be really significant, cleared its way of all but the far and if, and it hasn't been north of scotland. and a cluster of confirmed, if they say they are going to reduce it to one metre, how sunny spells and scattered sharp showers for scotland and northern do you as a doctor, as a gp, feel ireland through the day. england and wales, the best of the dry and about that? on the ground we are bright weather. gusty winds coming from a south—westerly direction, in still asking people to stay home as excess of 30 or 35 mph in places, much as possible, make sure you are maintaining that two metres but that said, we are looking at 15 distance, and be wary that we are to 17 degrees in the north, hires still in the middle of a pandemic. again of 21 or 22. if that is not so please try not to go out as much warm enough, i have something a as you can. make sure you are little bit warmer for you washing your hands, because we don't warm enough, i have something a little bit warmerfor you over the know how, as we eased out of next few days. monday we will continue to see plenty of sharp lockdown, what will happen. there showers coming into the far north are still people and new cases of and west but the wind starting to covid—19, so it is all about seeing come from the south. temperatures what we're doing on the ground and are going to start to slowly climb. making sure that we are adhering to 2324 degrees not out of the question guidance. personally, i feel that making sure that we are adhering to guidance. personally, ifeel that we on monday, and then high pressure is should be having two metres, especially as i am not seeing a lot going to nudge back in across the continent. there is a weak weather of people wearing face coverings when you are out and about. they
6:20 am
front into the far north and west, forget, they are busy, mums with but generally speaking, that high pressure will continue to drag on children, so we haven't got used to some warmth across the near doing that yet. we know that continent. so that summer sunshine transmission rate can decrease, so and summer heat is set to return. in let's just try and keep that two metres, because until we have a few fa ct, and summer heat is set to return. in fact, it could be the warmest or hottest spell of weather that we more numbers and data coming have seen so far this year, as through. it is worth pointing out temperatures are likely to peek into the numbers from yesterday, just as the low 30s. and other than a little a reminder to people. 1300 new cases bit of cloud and rain into the far of the virus yesterday, it is still north and west, first thing, dry, very much there, but it is this settled and sunny for many next balancing act between the government week. we will buy that, that looks wanting businesses to reopen again, to kickstart the economy again. that good. thanks very much, see you will be incredibly important for again later. hotter than mallorca, people's general health and for society as a whole, balancing that they were saying in the papers up today. it's time for a look society as a whole, balancing that up with, of course, the medical at this week's click. concerns and the science. evidently, i agree. people are finding that loneliness is a huge issue, mental health, as i said a few weeks back, is off the charts. we are seeing that in general practice, and day—to—day when we speak to our group of friends. and families are still grieving, they haven't been able to do the ritualistic stuff
6:21 am
that goes around bereavement and welcome, welcome, welcome to click. coping with grief, so we need to be come on in, everyone. able to comfort them. because grief i hope you're well, doesn't just stop tomorrow. able to comfort them. because grief doesn'tjust stop tomorrow. it and ladies and gentlemen, doesn'tjust stop tomorrow. it doesn't just stop doesn'tjust stop tomorrow. it doesn'tjust stop because there is a here comes lara lewington. pandemic or we are under lockdown. that still happens. so i understand that we need to ease out, but let's do it gently, slowly, with the right hello. now, spencer, tiktok, data to help us as gps. because we are at this very interesting .3 hundreds of users making videos, months into the lockdown, and i have you ever made one? think some people are really desperate to get back out and to start being normal again, whatever that means. but for others, there is quite a lot of anxiety about, once again, circulating with other people no. laughs. and being in public places. do you i have been watching it with interest, though. pick up on that in your surgery? of but i don't know about you, but the problem for me is that, course i do. i've got a lot of just when i start understanding patients who are in a shielded a new social media platform, you know, start understanding group, and they are finding that the language and getting followers, they are so scared of coming to see along comes another social platform. and it's almost like us they are so scared of coming to see us at the gp. that is not to say there is a new platform for each new generation. that everybody is like that. i have parents, that's why your kids had patients come and see me for aren't on facebook — routine things like blood tests, but because you are. true, and that's probably why, there is this anxiety of what if we when i made this video for tiktok go out and we catch something, last year, i realised i wasn't really in the right place. especially those who haven't had any
6:22 am
# slam it to the left, if you're having a good time. symptoms of coronavirus? how do we # shake it to the right, know that they might not pick it up if you know that you feel fine. and be absolutely detrimentally # chicas to the front, go round... affected by that? that is part of it was a true work of art, trying to ease out of lockdown, it has to be said. trying to ease out of lockdown, trying to ease out of lockdown, what's funny, though, trying to do it carefully, taking is even that song and that dress into account people's situation. it are completely culturally irrelevant to anyone who's under is not one size fits all, so i have the age of 20. laughs. to remind my patients, just do what absolutely. you can. and we are here to support i did feel at the time you. talk to us, there are charities i had to be totally who can support you with your and utterly shameless, though. anxiety. and any feelings of guilt but things could be changing, as tiktok may be becoming a little more serious. that you might have, of not being able to go about your normal business. because what is normal browsing can admittedly now? it is really important to be quite compelling, but making content left me remember the shielding, because want to hide under the table. often that is forgotten by people who are worried about not being able to get a pint somewhere. so how do tiktok‘s popularity has rocketed once again in lockdown, but it's not just about the fun. you help manage that kind of anxiety now the platform's got a really captive audience, for those patients? so talking is it's time for them to learn. whilst its emphasis on fun really great. acknowledging them is another factor. they have really great. acknowledging them is and entertainment over news anotherfactor. they have been in lockdown since before even lockdown started. they are in the vulnerable group, so! started. they are in the vulnerable
6:23 am
or politics had made it a welcome group, so i am talking about your tra nsfer distraction during the pandemic, group, so i am talking about your transfer patients —— transplant this week, tiktok is announcing a new strategic direction, patients, patients going through with the education—focussed feature learn on tiktok. cancer treatment or who are going forward, learn on tiktok immunocompromised. so it is notjust weeks, but months and months, and is going to be a long—term programme acknowledging that they are struggling, having friends and which is about us investing family to help, using friends and family to help, using friends and family as much as possible, and in partners and content creators platforms like this to say hello, from across the breadth of professional content creators, we're here, we haven't about you. i educational institutions think, not to make a joke of it or like english heritage and cambridge university, light of it, but that is really all the way through to the breadth important. and really asking the of creators who exist on tiktok. government what are we going to do, what is the data showing us, when can we start asking our shielded we're working with some kind of more educationally focused partners, so cambridge university group to interact more? now, they are allowed to go out for a walk, is one of those. they are allowed to see family members, but at a social distance. so there are some, you know, so baby steps, little bits, we for either school age or university getting there. and you have been a or postgraduate age, but a lot of the content brilliant public face through all of will be much more focused. it will be focused on life this, and this week you posted a skills, and things that video and social media about how are interesting for people. and how are you going people view you in different to deliver that education? because presumably it's going to be in short, environments, and racism that you bite—size chunks, in the same way have experienced outside of work, that any tiktok video is presented. when you are not in your work we think this is about applying clothes, if you like, compared to
6:24 am
the power of tiktok to learning. and what i mean by that is it's how people respond to you in a work environment when they know that you about effects, it's about audio, it's about engaging transitions, area environment when they know that you are a medic. tell us a bit about using all the tools that make tiktok this. so it is not an original piece videos so engaging and fun. amongst tiktok‘s partners is english heritage, of work, it was inspired by some a charity that manages hundreds work done by doctor rigby, an of historic sites in the uk, orthopaedic consultant over at texas and can see the importance of reaching a younger audience through social media. dallas, looking out at the black we think that tiktok's a really safe lives —— black lives matter place to explore some of the stories that perhaps matter movement. and that was emulated on most to young people. so things like black history, for example, lgbtq stories from some of our sites, women's history as well. it feels like a very safe, tiktok by many of the doctors, and welcoming environment it struck me because it was to explore those stories. something that i have dealt with all this is reminding me of my life. i where the hijab, i am of youtube's journey. both platforms started off being all about viral video, all about the fun. a muslim, and it is notjust on the and gradually, as time went by, a lot of youtube's content became street, it can be in my surgery. i went to a really lovely do and the more structured, more produced. chairwoman next to me said that is an amazing costume that are wearing. and could it be that tiktok soi is going to start to push that sort an amazing costume that are wearing. so ijust an amazing costume that are wearing. so i just looked at an amazing costume that are wearing. so ijust looked at her and i said thatis of content, too? so ijust looked at her and i said that is such a beautiful costume that is such a beautiful costume that you are wearing. and she was until then, i'm sure we can wearing a suit with a skirt. and i
6:25 am
all learn something useful — or not. think that if people don't realise that there is this discrimination, and this video was inspired... not inspired, but it was off the back of an encounter that i had in the park, if you fancy a spot of escapism only about two weeks ago. i was with right now, then the chances are it's my children, wearing something very not by playing a videogame set similarto my children, wearing something very similar to the one in the video, and in the midst of a global pandemic. iam similar to the one in the video, and i am shouting to my children in and it's for that reason that the launch of part ii of the last of us, the massively successful, genre—defining game, was delayed. punjabi, and this white gentleman shouts at me very loudly and says you are in britain, speak british, but then a spoiler was released online and that meant, to which my nine—year—old turns pandemic or no pandemic, around and looks at me and he says it needed to be released. mum,i around and looks at me and he says mum, ithink around and looks at me and he says mum, i think he means speak english. it's received critical acclaim, and we were going about our but does it live up to the hype? marc cieslak has been finding out. business, but i was struck by how he treated me so differently. the next day i worked with a locum gp, i 25 years after a devastating global worked in my surgery, and my nurse pandemic, nature reclaims the earth. asked me for a second opinion. i walked into the room that my nurses buildings lie empty. m, walked into the room that my nurses the wreckage of the world in, with the patient, and lo and behold it is the same gentleman from before surrounds you. the park. and we recognise each inside every derelict shop, other instantly. he looks at me and
6:26 am
every creamy creepy asement, he is shocked. and i smile, because iama he is shocked. and i smile, because i am a smiley person anyway, and i danger lurks, either said hello, how are you? i put my from other survivors, own mask on, i gloved, downed, i —— or from humans afflicted with a fungal inflection that reduces them to flesh—eating monsters. gowned, i treated own mask on, i gloved, downed, i —— gowned, itreated him. and he said to me, i am so sorry i shouted at the world of the last of us part ii is not a happy place. you at the park, i didn't know you're doctor. and as the in creating a sequel to one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time, its developers, conversation develops, he said i naughty dog, have crafted a grim respect my key workers, i make and sometimes unsettling game. coffee for them every week. and then i thought, hang on, coffee for them every week. and then ithought, hang on, he coffee for them every week. and then i thought, hang on, he doesn't see his prejudice and his discrimination based on my attire and the way that i think the last of us, the original iam based on my attire and the way that i am dressed. he doesn't see the game, is so well—regarded because it fa ct i am dressed. he doesn't see the fact that i can speak multiple did something new. languages also all he sees as an it was really defining what a ps3 game at the time looked ethnic looking woman screaming at like in terms of visual definition, her children in punjabi, and that in in terms of fidelity, in terms of realism. but then on top of that, essenceis her children in punjabi, and that in essence is racism. what we have it layered on this human story forgotten is that there is this of parenthood, of discovering hidden racism, but we cover it up what is love again, and to be protected. with different words like prejudice, the player controlsjoel in the vast majority of the first game. discrimination, and subconscious this time around, ellie bias. now, we all have those, takes centre stage. because what we are not familiar with we don't know about. i know
6:27 am
where the last game was essentially an epic road trip which becomes from my own south asian community an examination of paternal love, that something that is unfamiliar to and the lengths one will go to to preserve it, the sequel you, you will tease it, ridicule it, is concerned with revenge, and the unhealthy effect it has belittle it. i mean, we have a caste system. the way we evaluate skin on everything it touches. over any other colour is amazing, the bollywood industry is full of the game's narrative lead, halley gross's, background is in film and tv, notably writing for hbo's westworld. how it is amazing. and we need to be and i remember when i sat down with neil druckmann four years ago, looking at our own prejudice and checking base with that and saying and he pitched me what hang on, i have these. but let me learn about this culture, and then use your privilege as a bystander to the story would be. say something. so if you see a woman at the bus stop or an orthodoxjew who is sitting at a bus stop and it was trying to make a conversation about empathy, somebody is shouting profanities at make a conversation about tribalism, him, or even, idon't and how we can really change our perspective when we're somebody is shouting profanities at him, or even, i don't know, a homeless person, if you see the walking in somebody else's shoes. abuser shouting something at them this time round, ellie's quest takes her to a ruined seattle, which is inappropriate, racially inappropriate, actually start a a city divided by human factions, conversation with the person that is as well as the infected. being abused. humanise them. because scavenging for supplies and equipment as well as crafting ifi being abused. humanise them. because if i was at the park and someone at improvised weapons is crucial to survival. a social distance started a
6:28 am
the player is always conversation with me, that would have humanised me and that would have humanised me and that would outnumbered or outgunned, have actually shown the person that we're all human underneath our so listening out for enemies, garments. there is nothing different a cunning use of distraction, about us at all. it was an and a stealthy approach to combat are key. absolutely brilliant burn from your this game really is very violent child, i have to say, to that guy. indeed, so it's no surprise it carries a... voicover: pegi-18. and we love, but it is kind of but all that violence and gore fu nny/ and we love, but it is kind of funny/ not funny. it is profoundly does serve a purpose. depressing at the same time and is an illustration of how much work it helps reinforce some still needs to be done, and the myth of the game's themes, that racism doesn't exist in this pushing the player to think about their actions while they're country like it does, the perception playing the game. it's the kind of thing you would see in america, is clearly not in a fairly extreme horror movie realistic. but it is always or an extreme thriller. brilliant to talk to you, and thank you so much for your time this and the thing that makes the last of us quite interesting morning. keep smiling. cheers, thank is that it interrogates that violence a lot. you for your time. dr arif it interrogates the motivation behind that violence a lot. and that makes it quite responding to all kinds of issues uncomfortable to play, it makes it a challenging experience that we are covering today, and they to play, because you're not will be more on that one metre always having fun. reduction which has been proposed to possibly come next week. we will we also want to make you understand that every choice in this world, talk to a scientist after eight a.m..i sort of like every choice talk to a scientist after eight a.m.. i have an update for you. you know tony who is doing his walk and in life, has a cost. so, if we made that violence feel wa nted know tony who is doing his walk and wanted to raise £500,000 for the quote—unquote "fun," you're losing hospital treating him, and we have
6:29 am
the cumulative impact just looked and he hasjust on all of our characters hospital treating him, and we have just looked and he has just beaten £508,000. it has gone up by about 30 as they exist in this world. grand since we mentioned his story on breakfast about 20 minutes ago. i think they should be terrified of me. so well done to tony, and through with an ethnically diverse cast, tony, the hospital. tony's ten a trans character, and a gay kilometre walk for hospital. so relationship between ellie and new character dina, somersault is this weekend, and it this title also reflects a more diverse world is looking all right today, the than videogames usually present. weather, if you have been lucky so we absolutely did enough to get out and see the sun ‘s want to represent the culture we see comic sunrise. —— see the sunrise. around us right now. we see lgbtq culture normally thousands of people, in our everyday life. that was important to us, you know. including druids, gather there each year to celebrate, but this year the site is closed because of coronavirus. the good news is you'll still be able to watch the sunrise, the first time around, because english heritage are live—streaming it the last of us changed what a lot on their social media channels. duncan kennedy has been of people thought was possible as far as storytelling in games is concerned. the last of us part ii continues to see them setting up. to push that envelope, but don't expect the experience to be a cheery one. you're the worst. this is how it should look, and sound. the great spectacle of high summer at the great monument of you know what you need to do.
6:30 am
stonehenge. but not this year. yes, films like wonder woman 1984, black widow and no time to die have all had their release dates pushed that will work nicely, i think. back to later in the year. james bond. because of covid—19, english so you're not dead. heritage have for the first time hello, q, i've missed you. cancelled the celebrations. instead, a film crew will live stream the and its estimated that the global event on social media. it is a great film industry has already lost over honour and it is really exciting to $us10 billion. stand in the middle of the stone circle when no—one else around, but it's notjust the big screen no—one else inside, and to broadcast that's been affected. recently i spoke to inception the footage right here in stonehenge and dark knight rises star to potentially millions and millions joseph gordon—levitt, who was just three weeks of people around the world. english heritage says you can view the into filming a new tv show when it was shut down due sunrise on all its social media to the coronavirus. sites, and safety must take priority. sadly, we'rejust trying to give the message please don't travel. the stones will not be open and the landscape around, which is owned by the national trust, is also hi, we're recording. hey, everybody. i'm home. not open to the public. so stay at with hollywood on pause, home, watch from the comfort of your own sofa, and come back next year. he turned his attention online. wiltshire police have also urge the public to stay away from the stones, a long time ago i started saying they will have offices the a community online with my brother area. but one leading druid says he called hitrecord, which has evolved into this big, collaborative environment. will still try to attend, at a safe

6:46 am
enhancing some showers across the south—west, and this is the rain this socks coming up. mainly dry for that rachel was alluding to which many of us today, lots of sunshine arrives later on today. but ahead of coming through as well. there will it, not bad at all, especially after bea coming through as well. there will be a few scattered showers and this the thundery outbreaks that we have wea k be a few scattered showers and this weak weather front is moving into the south—west and will bring a few seen just recently. a few isolated isolated, sharp and possibly showers may still contain a rumble thundery showers. but for most of us of thunder, but they will be fewer and further between, putting their it isa way up through england and wales thundery showers. but for most of us it is a straightforward story. quiet, lots of sunshine coming through the afternoon. we could keep through. the far north of scotland some low cloud, mist and murkiness could see a few showers here and it through the northern isles, but generally speaking the emphasis is may well stay cloudy, misty and with lighter winds and more murky across the northern aisles, i sunshine, degree or so warmer and am afraid, throughout the day. it is highs of 22 degrees, 72 fahrenheit. am afraid, throughout the day. it is a quieter story in comparison to the weather we have seen this week and that rain will arrive through the night tonight, and it means the it will feel a degree or so warmer, winds, although coming from a widely those temperatures into the south—westerly, will strengthen. low 20s. by the end of the day the gusts in excess of 30 mph bring winds will start to strengthen and about an inch of rain as it moves we will start to see some rain way steadily eastwards through the putting into northern ireland. this isa night. with the cloud, wind and putting into northern ireland. this is a weather front that is going to bring quite a lot of rain through rain, coming from a south—westerly, the night. a good inch in places, so it stays relatively mild and temperatures overnight between 11 thatis the night. a good inch in places, so that is going to be fairly and 14 degrees. so we start tomorrow significant. it will march through with this area of low pressure, and quite quickly, though, with overnight lows staying into double this france travelled across the digits. it will be a relatively mild country. it is moving its way start, but for some of us a wet one, through pretty quickly. so if you
6:47 am
only a few are up early enough, that are up early across scotland, across eastern england, you might start off weather front trailing its way with some rain. but by late morning through central and eastern england, perhaps. plenty of isobars on the it starts to ease away. they will be charts. the wind will be quite a plenty of sunshine coming through, feature, at least that will push the and a scattering of showers. the rain through fairly prompt me. it showers should be few and far between for england and wales but will be a dismal start to sunday but scotla nd between for england and wales but scotland and northern ireland will have some sharper ones, gusts in an improvement for many. england and wales we keep the dry and sunny excess of 30 mph, but nevertheless weather. a few scattered showers in scotland, some these could be heavy and accompanied by blustery winds. still relatively mild. 15— 18 degrees in the north, highest values of 22 again in the south—east. we gusts widely in excess of 30 mph, maybe a touch stronger. but if you keep that north—south divide in have that sunshine, you should see terms of the shower distribution on temperatures once again into the low monday, so still the emphasis with 20s, around 15 to 17 degrees, let's some wetter weather through scotland and northern ireland, a little more say, for scotland and northern cloud into wales in south—west ireland. moving out of sunday into england as well. the best of the monday, we keep that north— south sunshine perhaps on monday is going divide. we keep the scattered to be across the east, 23 degrees is showers through scotland and northern ireland as well. a little the expected high here, and high more cloud the further west you go, pressure is going to move in from but largely fine and sunny and still the near continent. so it will push pleasa ntly but largely fine and sunny and still pleasantly warm. that is an that frontal system up into the far indication of what is to come as go north—west. so there will be some through next week, because rain around, but it is also going to high—pressure is going to build from
6:48 am
the near continent, quieting things drag with its warmth, all the way up down and just putting that weather through the near continent, and that front backup to the extreme is the reason why temperatures are north—west. at the same time, it going to rise through next week. so will start to drag up north from the some rain around monday or tuesday near continent. so really tuesday across the north—west, but look at into wednesday in particular is when this. temperatures perhaps into the we will start to see and feel the 30s as we through the week. so a difference with our weather. so yes, good deal of dry, settled weather across england and wales. back to a little bit of cloud and rain into the far north—west to begin with, you two. is it here for awhile, is but look at this. temperatures this something we can get to? yes, perhaps into the low 30s. that will be the warmest weather we have seen and a lot of people will shout at me so far this week. so lots of going i don't like 31 degrees, but sunshine, lots of brightness. talking about brightness, come on, it gets a little bit more bearable john, show us those socks! that heat into next weekend. but then the chance may be of a little bit more is all radiating from my socks, i am rain into next weekend as well. a long way off, though, john. we will hitting the nation. i noticed them. ta ke long way off, though, john. we will take it for now, thanks very much you are not the only one, louise. indeed. it's time now for a coronavirus news that looks fantastic for the week ahead. now it's time to join mark kermode, special presented by annita mcveigh. presenting this week's film review.

they laugh three—year—old rafa did not have coronavirus, but his parents say despite describing he died because of it. himself as not good with children, the young marcel is nonetheless recruited to care for the orphans whom the french resistance are sheltering in a remote castle. at first, marcel, a butcher's son he had leukaemia. with dreams of becoming an actor, wants only to work on his play. when his condition got worse, his parents raced to hospital. translation: it was around midnight. but through clowning and mime, he makes a connection with these the hospital said he would need to be tested for covid—19 before children which seems to give him a new purpose in life. he could be admitted anywhere. it's this purpose that will sustain him through the movie's most dramatic sequences, another hospital told us there wasn't a children's doctor as marcel leads a group on duty and a quick covid test they had were only being used of youngsters into the alps en route to switzerland pursued by notorious for pregnant women. ss officer klaus barbie. passports, please. rafa's parents drove him to three more hospitals that night, written and directed by jonathan jakubowicz, with no success. the venezuelan film—maker behind secuestro express and hands of stone, resistance may be based on fact but you get the sense that it tells its story with a fair the next day, they eventually found degree of dramatic licence. a hospital that would accept him, it's a story about one of those but he died before unique human beings... from the book—ended framing device featuring ed harris doctors could see him. as general patton to the numerous nail—biting confrontations with the nazis which smack translation: i still believe that

venues which stand to benefit. i've heard from manufacturers who say that two metres, they can't operate. but even with a metre and a half, it's possible to operate. now, the rules have been a bit more pragmatic in workplaces like manufacturing, but nevertheless the two—metre guidance has been widely understood. on friday, the national alert system was downgraded from four to three. that means the virus is considered to be in general circulation, and there could be a gradual relaxation of restrictions. but the chief medical officers for england, wales, northern ireland and scotland have warned that localised outbreaks of covid—19 are likely to occur. the latest death rates from the virus show that there were 173 deaths recorded across the uk onjune18, taking the total to 42,461.

meanwhile, the westminster government also wants children of all ages to be back at school by september. so far that hasn't been possible in england. new safety guidance will be published in the next fortnight. we have been creating bubbles of children in the classroom, creating a protective environment for those children, currently that is at 15. what we would be looking at doing is expanding those bubbles to include the whole class. schools in wales will reopen for the first time at the end ofjune, with only one third of pupils in class at any one time. in scotland, they will be open in mid—august, and in northern ireland, later in the same month. before that, there is the pressing problem of summer holidays. a trial involving testing arriving airport passengers for covid—19 is expected to begin soon. if testing negative, passengers could get an early release from the 14—day travel quarantine.

but the test will cost £140 each. that's £560 for a family of four. let's speak to our political correspondent helen catt, who joins us from our london newsroom. we are back to this very difficult balancing act between perhaps what the scientists say of how the virus is behaving and they need that to get the economy we started. yes, it is always very difficult. the government has to look at all these different factors in weighing up what decision it makes, and any decision taken by the westminster government on the back of this review would only apply to england. and it is not a complete given that it will be a reduction in the two—metre distancing. but that is where the expectation is that it will go, and it is where the political pressure is being applied this week. we have seen senior conservative backbenchers adding their voices to calls to cut it, and
7:05 am
borisjohnson has said he would like to reduce the distance once it is safe to do so, so it does seem to be the direction of travel. the question is, does it happen this week? and the reason for that timing is because of that 4th ofjuly date which is coming up pretty fast, only a couple of weeks away, that was the date that borisjohnson had said could be the start of phase three of his road map, so the opening of things like pubs and hairdressers. worth tweeting that with a little bit of caution, the government has increasingly said from the 4th of july at the earliest, but with it coming up so quickly, there is going to be pressure on the government to set out what it will be doing and what the conditions will be. and it is preparing the public psychologically as well for the possibility of this in order that enough people respond to it to make it worthwhile. yes, we are all so used to seeing that to me to distance everywhere we look, and it is being so reinforced that that is the safe distance, that if the government does decide to change it,
7:06 am
borisjohnson has suggested in recent days that it is to do partly with the infection rate, that when there is a lower rate of infection in the community it is less likely that you will be sitting next to someone with covid—19 and therefore you can start to lower the distances. but there is another challenge in that the government doesn't want to make people think that there is no risk whatsoever and people can ignore social distancing completely. so there is a delicate balance to be struck here, and of course that government has always said it will only do these things being led by the science and when it is safe to do so. thank you very much, helen. president trump will stage a controversial rally in oklahoma later, one day after marches were held across the us to mark juneteenth, a holiday celebrating the end of slavery in the country. thousands of people took to the streets on friday following weeks of calls for racialjustice. david willis reports. it's a date on the calendar
7:07 am
that for most white americans has previously passed without recognition. but this year was different. coming amid widespread protests over the death of george floyd, juneteenth has ta ken on a new significance. across the us, there were events to mark the day that slavery here finally came to an end. in tulsa, oklahoma, they marked it too. a leading civil rights leader calling for the protests to go on. greatness is when blacks and whites and latinos and asians and original americans hit the streets all over this country and march against your tear gas, and march against your rubber bullets, and march against a military occupation you threaten, and march anyhow. that is what will make america great. tulsa is also the scene of president trump's controversial re—election rally later today, but it's a controversial choice.
7:08 am
in 1921, tulsa was the site of one of the worst outbreaks of racial violence when white mobs attacked black businesses and killed around 300 people. it's donald trump's first rally in over three months, and people have been queueing outside the venue since early in the week. i knew this would be a big rally, and i wanted to get a seat. a million tickets have been requested for this. so i wanted to be here early. a night—time curfew in the city imposed amid threats of violence at the rally has now been lifted, and the president tweeted this warning to potential troublemakers. "any protesters, anarchists, agitators, looters or lowlifes who are going to oklahoma, please understand you will not be treated like you have been in new york, seattle or minneapolis," he said. "it will be a much different scene!" the trump campaign is hoping
7:09 am
the rally will shift attention from concerns about racial injustice and police brutality — issues these demonstrators say mr trump has so far yet to address. brazil has become the second country in the world after america to confirm more than1 million cases of covid—19. almost 49,000 people have died with coronavirus in the country, and its health ministry also posted a record number of new cases in the past 24 hours. brazil's poorest communities have been particularly badly hit. id theft has gone up by nearly a fifth in the last year. that's according to the counter—fraud organisation which runs the national fraud database. people's identities were stolen more than 223,000 times last year. the number of id thefts is expected to be even higher in the next few years as criminals look to exploit people during the coronavirus pandemic. this weekend sees the annual summer
7:10 am
solstice at stonehenge. normally thousands of people, including many druids, gather there each year to celebrate — but this year the site is closed because of coronavirus. the historic landmark will be roped off for the weekend, but the good news is you'll still be able to watch the sunrise, because english heritage are live—streaming it on their social media channels. so the summer solstice falls this year on the 20th ofjune, because thatis year on the 20th ofjune, because that is the longest day. so that is why we are marking. obviously the zist why we are marking. obviously the 21st is the traditional date in many people's eyes, but the 20th is the tiniest bit longer this year. and todayis tiniest bit longer this year. and today is the best day for it, isn't it, louise? it is. it is going to feel that little bit warmer, so there is plenty of good news, plenty to talk about as well. it is all due
7:11 am
to talk about as well. it is all due to this little bump here, a little ridge of high pressure. behind this weather front which will enhance a few showers today, but in comparison to what we have seen recently, they are few and far between, and they may well spread out through the south and into parts of south yorkshire. at the same time, a few showers easing away from the north—east of scotland and we keep a little low cloud across the northern isles, murky for the rest of the day, but for most of us, dry, settle, light winds, highs of 72 degrees fahrenheit. but this band of cloud and rain will arrive during the night, the wind will strengthen as well, pushing the rain quite prom ptly as well, pushing the rain quite promptly eastwards overnight, but it will mean with a blanket of cloud and rain the temperature is holed up at 11-15. and rain the temperature is holed up at 11—15. tomorrow is going to start off wet for some of us, but it will quickly move its way through. plenty of isobars on the chart, the wind more of a feature tomorrow, gust in
7:12 am
excess of 30 mph, the rain lingering for a excess of 30 mph, the rain lingering fora time, excess of 30 mph, the rain lingering for a time, down through eastern england, but by late morning, we will see some sunshine coming through and it will be a quieter story. for england and wales, just a few isolated showers, not a bad afternoon in prospect. scotland, northern ireland, a scattering of sharper showers, may be the odd rumble of thunder and don't forget the wind gusting in excess of 30 mph. soa the wind gusting in excess of 30 mph. so a degree down, but still 15-21 mph. so a degree down, but still 15—21 or even 22 the expected high. asimilar 15—21 or even 22 the expected high. a similar story as we move into monday, the showers going into scotla nd monday, the showers going into scotland and northern ireland, a little more cloud through wales on the southwest, eastern area seeing the southwest, eastern area seeing the best of the sunshine and warmth with 23 degrees, but it is set to get warmer still as we move into tuesday and wednesday with this high pressure building. it isjust going to nudge that frontal system up into the far north—west for the early pa rt the far north—west for the early part of the week, but it is all about this high pressure, and that is going to drag in some warmth from
7:13 am
the near continent, so a real noticeable difference to the feel of the weather. we may well have lost the weather. we may well have lost the humidity, but look at the temperatures, climbing into the low 30s. temperatures, climbing into the low 305. if temperatures, climbing into the low 30s. if this happens, it will be the warmest or hottest spell of weather that we will have seen so far this year. thank you. it is looking pretty hot towards next week. it is 13 minutes past eight. "a big moment for the country" — that's how the health secretary announced the news that the coronavirus alert level for the whole of the uk had been downgraded. it's been lowered from 4 to 3. that means the virus is considered to be "in general circulation" instead of "high or rising". it's come down due to a number of factors — mainly because the r number, which shows how fast the infection is spreading, is low — and the total number of people with coronavirus has fallen. but it doesn't mean an overnight change in restrictions, and the level could be raised again
7:14 am
with the devolved nations making their own decisions. let's discuss all of this, and a possible change to the rule, with professor michael tildesley, an expert on infectious diseases. if borisjohnson expert on infectious diseases. if boris johnson came to expert on infectious diseases. if borisjohnson came to you today and said, two metres, one metre, what would you say? that is a completed factor. if i was giving advice purely on minimising the risk to public health, then two metres is safer to one metre. it is very clear. this is a respiratory disease and you can be infected by droplets coming out of your mouth and nose, and the further away you are, the safer you are. but i appreciate it isa safer you are. but i appreciate it is a delicate decision at the moment when we are moving into this phase three stage, reduction to level three, and we are starting to cautiously reopen, that there has to bea cautiously reopen, that there has to be a difficult calculation where we are trading off this slight increase
7:15 am
in risk with reducing distances with the ability to reopen. so i would say it is not really at this point a scientific decision. there are a number of different factors that need to be considered when it comes to reducing from two metres to one metre. so you provide the data, the fa cts , metre. so you provide the data, the facts, and then it is up to the politicians to make a decision. in one of the key decisions they have got to make is about hospitality. lots of stuff in the papers this morning about pubs and restaurants may be opening in the next couple of weeks, with just a may be opening in the next couple of weeks, withjust a one metre social distancing limit. is that safe, do you think? well, i mean we are in a situation where we have a virus that is still circulating. this is key. we have moved from level four to level three, but the risk hasn't gone away. with any kind of relaxation measure, there is potentially going to be an increase in the outbreak that will push us very close to 1, so i would say that
7:16 am
no relaxation measure is 100% safe, but we are in a phase where we can cautiously start to relax measures. so the key thing is, if this decision is made to reduce to one metre, we really have to hope that that one metre needs to be observed, plus we need to maintain other practices such as good hygiene which is extremely important at this point in time, plus if we do start to see cases rising, we rapidly react to that, so we consider may be reintroduction of some measures if we start to see cases rising over the coming weeks. does it concern you that even talking about going to one metre, the prime minister saying yesterday, watch this space, almost like a nudge and wink that it might be happening or later. does that change behaviour in itself even before official announcements and decisions are made?” before official announcements and decisions are made? i think it is a concern simply because as i said we are ina concern simply because as i said we are in a really delicate place. it has been reported in the media in the last few weeks about the r
7:17 am
number between 0.7 and 0.9, and this seems cautiously optimistic that we kept this number below 1, but at the risk of being a little bit cynical about it, it is relatively close to 1. about it, it is relatively close to 1, and it doesn't give us a lot of room for movement. it is slightly complicated by the testing and rating scheme. if we can get testing and tracing to work effectively, thenit and tracing to work effectively, then it may be that that can cou ntera ct then it may be that that can counteract the risk of cautiously reopening society, so we can rapidly identify cases. but i think it is important to say that it is below 1, but it is very close to it. so is a cautious scientist, i would expect to see that number may rise in the coming weeks as a number of measure start to be relaxed. what you make of the fact that the world health organization don't seem to think that one metres, two metres, makes a huge amount of difference. there is a difference, but it isn't a massive. i would not necessarily agree with that. the evidence is
7:18 am
pretty clear. there have been a number of studies that have been done that would suggest that the risk of being one metre away as anything from two times to five times the risk of being two metres away. so any decision made to reduce that has to be a trade—off between increasing that risk but being able to operate. one of the key thing is here that is not being discussed is schools. i appreciate that schools are operating at very low capacity at the moment, partly because of this to me rule, and it may be that as we look forward to september, i absolutely agree that it is important to get all children back to school in september, but there may need to be a practical reduction in that in certain settings to allow things like schools to be able to reopen fully. professor michael tildesley, thank you very much indeed. let's pick up some of those points with the conservative mp, iain duncan smith, who has been calling for the government to ease lockdown restriction to help the economy. good morning. you heard from the scientists there, and it has been
7:19 am
confirmed by other studies suggesting there is quite a considerable difference in safety between two metres and one metre. the risk of being infected estimated to be 13% at one metre, 3% at two metres. is it really worth taking that risk? with respect, it depends which scientists you talk to. the oxford scientists and many others don't think that air to air transmission is anything like what other scientists say in terms of effect. they think it is about 1.3% at two metres, rising at most to 2.6%, but if you wear face masks, that lowers it by 85%, get it down to about 0.5%. the honest truth is, even on sage, many scientists don't ee, even on sage, many scientists don't agree, and they criticise the original measures because they are donein original measures because they are done in laboratories and don't replicate realities, and they say that outside the house, there is next to no risk at all. if you want to ask scientists this, they will
7:20 am
consta ntly to ask scientists this, they will constantly tell you of risk, and of course there is a risk because the virus isn't going to suddenly disappear, we all know that. what we have to do is learn to live with the risk and understand where and who it is that it most effects, and there virus almost certainly very heavy effects those who have comorbidities and are overthe effects those who have comorbidities and are over the age of 75. protecting the most vulnerable is critical as we go forward, and hygiene is the most critical element that transmits it. so if we do that, we should be able to make this decision is to move, and it is not just for the economy. it is critical for hospitals, because hospital capability is much reduced at two metres. they can't use all their beds. schools are in exactly the same mode, you simply cannot open schools at two metres. then you have the economy in the hospitality and all the other shops. you are right, there is no such thing as a zero risk, but you talk about mitigating that risks with face masks, but you are not expecting people to wear
7:21 am
face masks in the pub, are you?” have visited a number of restaurants and pubs that want to get going and need to get to that one metre, and they are pretty well organised. what they are pretty well organised. what they will say is, as you go from a to b, you will be asked to wear a face mask. when you get to your table, and it will be at table, in sweden for example they don't let you sit at the bar. when you sit down, you can take your face mask off with your own grouping, and many are putting up perspex greens between tables to even help to make sure there isn't any touching or hand contact let alone the respiratory stuff. so they are very heavily involved in making sure they limit all that interaction, and i think they will do a very good job at it, because they want to get back. and if we do follow through on this and he's the lock down a little bit more, and then there is a rise in infections, at what point do you ta ke in infections, at what point do you take the decision that we need to reverse them again? how high would it need to be before you would be
7:22 am
convinced potentially that actually we need to go back to where we were? there are two elements to this. is it localised, can you contain something which seems to be spreading locally? and is there a general, national issue? and this is where the tracking is important, because it will tell you whether there is a local outbreak in which case you can limit that shut that off. but i come back to the same point, which is the figures show that about 5% to maybe 8% or 9% at most of those who have got ill and died, they have no comorbidities, in other words it is a very small number in the population who don't already have existing conditions and aunt over the age of say 75. so this isa aunt over the age of say 75. so this is a disease very, very focused on those who are elderly, those who have illnesses, sicknesses, already, and they are going to get to the bottom of some of those, including clinical obesity. so if we make sure that we go out of our way to protect the most vulnerable, then the vast

majority of the british public can start engaging in this way, and also can start getting back to work. and we do need to explain this to the public. and you talk about getting back to work and you say it is not just about business or the economy, but that is a huge part of this, and you will have been watching those on implement figures rise, nearly 3 million in this country at the moment, we don't know what it will be long—term, so we have to weigh up the social, mental and well being effects of that. but do you think under the welfare system, in part designed by you with universal credit, that it can even cope with those kind of numbers of unemployed? first of all, you are right in the sense that i was talking about the wider nature of what to metres does and how it shuts us down in all sorts of critical areas. but the economy is teetering at the moment. we are supporting lots of people through the furlough scheme and loans and these are going to have to come to an end. if we don't get the economy moving now, which is why two
7:24 am
metres to one metre is so critical, we will see company simply calling ita we will see company simply calling it a day and putting people onto unemployment, and! it a day and putting people onto unemployment, and i don't want that to happen for very good reasons to do with health, mental health, etc, being unemployed, not being able to see their way forward, that is very damaging to people and the people who get most damaged will be the poorest. in answer to your question about the welfare system, let's be very clear. the universal credit structure, the government can lay its hand on that and say it has worked. it has had the most unprecedented rise already, nearly 3 million people going on to universal credit, which is notjust out of work, it is lower hours in work, but that has coped with them, the vast majority have been paid smack on time, so that system is working. could it cope with more? yes, absolutely, because the design is very strong. but i don't want it to. i want very strong. but i don't want it to. iwant us very strong. but i don't want it to. i want us to get out of there so that we can get people back to work before they fall unemployed. we don't want them to be unemployed if we can avoid it because it is much
7:25 am
more difficult to get people back to work then. they will be people who ta ke work then. they will be people who take issue with the idea that universal credit is working for everyone. look at the numbers using food banks and the whole row over free school meals that was widely covered here on bbc breakfast. free school meals is not to do with universal credit. if i could finish. and the necessity of carrying on free meals through the summer holidays to support families who are really financially struggling at the moment. i wonder if i could just ask a question about, if we do open up, and two metres allows pubs, bars, restau ra nts, and two metres allows pubs, bars, restaurants, to start operating again, do you think people are going to wa nt again, do you think people are going to want to go back? i think they're going to have to start to take that decision for themselves, and the one thing that seems to have gone missing hugely in this coronavirus outbreak because of lockdown in the messaging needed at the beginning to be so severe and to warn people about the risk to them, there has been no moment when people have begun to balance those risks for themselves, not fully understanding. most people think that this is a virus which attacks everybody equally, and it does not. so getting the message across to people that if
7:26 am
you take the right decisions, if you do the right things, then you can ta ke do the right things, then you can take these decisions to go back to work, to go to bars and restaurants if you wish, providing you stay within those new rules that are about still social distancing but also massively on hygiene, and follow the rules inside those bars and pubs. and they will be checked, and pubs. and they will be checked, and if they are not doing the right thing, i'm sure bars and pubs and restaurants will be shut down, but it is important that we recognise that every day of our lives, we live in risk, if you get on a bicycle in a heavy area of traffic, that is a risk, and we balance that with the need to get to work, to go where we are need to get to work, to go where we 'n , need to get to work, to go where we are going, to cross the road this is our lives, and that is another element we have to come to terms with because the virus isn't likely to everjust with because the virus isn't likely to ever just disappear. with because the virus isn't likely to everjust disappear. it is going to everjust disappear. it is going to be around and we are going to have to cope with that and hopefully we can reduce its efficacy as time goes on. for example, asian flu is still around with us right now, and
7:27 am
that was an outbreak in the first world war. so these viruses don't just disappear. thank you, iain duncan smith. and we are going to be hearing from a couple of restaurant owners a little later want to see how they might put one metre into practice in their own premises. we are talking about restaurants and pubs and bars, what about schools in all of this? all children in england will be back at school, full time, in september according to the government. the full details are due to be published in the next two weeks, but the education secretary gavin williamson, said class sizes could go up from 15 pupils to 30 — he wouldn't say if the two metre rule would be relaxed to help. although that doesn't actually strictly speaking apply to schools because it is all about bubbles. in england, anyway. a whole new terminology, isn't it? cassie buchannan is head teacher at charles dickens primary in london. she joins us from her home in farnham. thank you so much forjoining us. you have some kids back already. what about this prospect of all children, all year groups, full—time, back in september. doable? i think the devil will be in
7:28 am
the detail, really. hopefully i, like all head teachers, really want all of our children back in school, because we miss them greatly and schools aren't schools without children and children's voices in them. so i guess i would like to know how to do it, and there are a couple of things that are preventing us from doing it at the moment. one is the limit on class sizes to 15, and that makes it really tricky for schools with limited classroom spaces schools with limited classroom 5 pa ces to schools with limited classroom spaces to expand those out and find those other rooms in the school were pe equipment might be or you are storing art equipment. there just isn't the space at the moment. so it would be great to hear based on scientific advice that we can spread those children into bubbles of 30. and then the other thing is, the one or two—metre rule and then relaxing
7:29 am
that a little bit, and if it was down to one metre, that would make it easier to fit more children in a classroom, because i have been out with my ruler, and if i can reduce the distancing to one metre, then we can fit more tables and chairs into the rooms. and you say that it doesn't really apply as much, and particularly in primary schools. however, what we are trying to do is build trust with parents, so we are trying to mirror all of those social distancing rules and expectations that we are seeing across society. so it is really important that we get really clear and detailed guidance, and time to plan it. have you got that time? obviously there is the summer holidays, but does even that give you time to prepare for the kind of mass return to education which the government seems to be talking about happening at the beginning of september?
7:30 am
schools are brilliant at organising and being creative in short spaces of time. i think what we really appreciate is information as soon as possible and the government working with professional associations, school leaders, so we get details, advice that is practical and we can act on it really quickly. we would a lwa ys act on it really quickly. we would always love more planning time but we are trying to walk that line between getting children back as quickly as possible and not doing it ina way quickly as possible and not doing it in a way that appears rushed or ill thought through. as much time as possible would be brilliant. there are some parents who have had their kids at home for months now who have seen the struggles of home education and the impact on their mental well—being, who is saying maybe it is time to go for this, maybe the virus doesn't spread so quickly among young children apparently, may
7:31 am
be that we have got to rush forward and they think some teachers have been delaying this. what would you say to them? i would say teachers have been working incredibly hard to provide learning at home that works forfamilies in provide learning at home that works for families in a provide learning at home that works forfamilies in a way provide learning at home that works for families in a way that is fun and engaging, and also keeping our schools open for the key workers and then doing the wider reopening. but iam then doing the wider reopening. but i am incredibly sympathetic, it is really, really ha rd i am incredibly sympathetic, it is really, really hard to teach children when you haven't got other children when you haven't got other children alongside to support, you are not a teacher, you are trying to balance yourjob at the same time. schools will work as quickly as possible to get the children back because it isn't just possible to get the children back because it isn'tjust about possible to get the children back because it isn't just about their academic learning, there are huge benefits for children in terms of their emotional well—being and just being with other children is so, so important. thank you very much
7:32 am
indeed forjoining us on a saturday morning. we appreciate your time, thank you. i love my children being at home with me, i don't know what you are talking about. we are all very calm about it. we have got so used to this but can you imaginea day have got so used to this but can you imagine a day when we move closer ain? you say two metres and then people shift, then you say one metre... don't even think about it, i am enjoying my own space.
7:33 am
hello, this is breakfast with rachel burden and jon kay. coming up before nine, we have the weather and sport. but first, a summary of this morning's main news. a review into the two metre social distancing rule will conclude "within the coming days", according to the government. it comes amid warnings many businesses will not survive under the current guidance, as the government prepares to ease more restrictions on july the 4th. pubs, restaurants and hotels are among those hoping to reopen. pubs could be patrolled and people could be encouraged to use apps to order drinks. passengers arriving at uk airports could soon pay to be swabbed to find out if they have coronavirus. the firms behind the trial — which is expected to start within weeks — are hoping a that a negative result would allow people
7:34 am
to avoid quarantine. the government insists foreign visitors will have to self—isolate for two weeks. marches and demonstrations have taken place across the us to mark juneteenth, a holiday celebrating the end of slavery in the country. thousands of people demonstrated at events on friday, including in new york, los angeles, and the city of tulsa in oklahoma, which is hosting donald trump's controversial campaign rally later today. president trump had planned to hold his event in tulsa on friday but postponed it by a day following local protests. those are the main stories this morning. we can focus now on an issue we have talked about a lot here in the past. identity theft has gone up by nearly a fifth over the space of 12 months — that's according to the organisation which runs the national fraud database. figures show that people's identities were stolen more than 223,000 times last year, with some people losing their life savings.
7:35 am
now there's a warning that criminals could be taking advantage of the coronavirus pandemic. dan whitworth reports. for 30—year—old gemma combellack, five years of saving hard meant that she was ready to buy her shared ownership flat outright. but credit checks during her mortgage application revealed her identity had been stolen and used by criminals. getting on the london property market is a massive deal, so to be able to have a full mortgage on a flat in london, we were so excited and proud about, so it's been really gutting. it's just kind of been constant setback after setback, i have been bursting into tears at work with every call, to see there has been no update on my case. it's just been really stressful. gemma's not alone. last year people's identities were stolen more than 223,000 times, 18% above the year before. and the financial cost to victims — £1.3 billion. had we not been going through the mortgage process,
7:36 am
i would never have known that all of these accounts were taken out in my name, so i think it makes me much more financially aware to check my credit files, and my advice to other people and what i'm telling my friends and colleagues is to constantly check your credit file because they can be set up and not even be linked to accounts that you even have, and therefore if you don't check, you won't know. experts at fraud prevention service cifas say reasons for the big rise include criminals using more sophisticated methods and more people doing more things online, leaving them potentially vulnerable to having their personal details stolen. gemma is still wary about her financial future, worried if it can happen once, it can happen again. the advice from experts is, always take a few minutes to check you know who you're dealing with before giving out any personal details. you can hear more about gemma's story today on money box, on bbc radio 4, at midday. now let's speak with mike haley, chief executive of fraud
7:37 am
prevention organisation cifas. good morning, these figures predate this coronavirus crisis, so what was going on, how do you account for the big rise? i think there are three reasons why we have seen such an increase in identity rod. first of all, the availability of our personal data, we hear about data breaches often and dative thefts and that information is sold on the dark web and traded with criminals. secondly, the issue of the greater sophistication of criminals, you might have heard of a term called social engineering which is the manipulation of us by criminals who impersonate trusted sources, whether thatis impersonate trusted sources, whether that is the banks or hmrc to glean more information so they can actually perpetrate identity fraud. we have terms like phishing, where
7:38 am
they ask for personal details and clone websites. you can get a voice message purported to come from someone you trust or a text. they are trying to get further information to make the applications in your name. second reason, it is so easy to make applications for financial services online and the criminals use that, and thirdly i think they feel they are beyond the law. how might coronavirus make this work? make people more vulnerable?” think we are very interested in what is going on. i have seen online quizzes, about testing information you know undue knowledge. we have seen clone websites, we have seen criminals turn to impersonate both the testing and tracing and local government, and again, this is about harvesting our personal information in order to then make applications in our name, to steal our identity.
7:39 am
i think they are playing an nazi is an interesting coronavirus, and we have seen a massive increase in those phishing e—mails around this time. the criminals have not gone on holiday during coronavirus, their lockdown has always been on their computers targeting us, and they are taking advantage of our fears. an awful lot of time has been spent at home, online quizzes might be a way of getting information. i was speaking to a police officer who has experienced identity fraud himself, this is not just experienced identity fraud himself, this is notjust about the vulnerable or gullible, if you like, this can happen to anyone. no one is safe from fraud or identity fraud. those over 30 are those most at risk and we have seen a big increase in those over 60 being targeted. so many people are working at home and
7:40 am
isolated, so previously perhaps even at work if you got an e—mail you are unsure of, you would ask a colic go to your security department, now we are making decisions are self. you could be rushed. we are online almost all day if you are a home—worker and dealing with those issues yourself, thatjust gives a window for the criminals to manipulate us and ask for further information. we have our guards down, we click on links, we respond to give out personal information, they are going to use it for identity theft. thank you, you are very much on a message with the orange branded behind you. all the best. —— orange branding. we sent paint. it is beginning to be like a normal sporting saturday. it does indeed. during lockdown we may have really
7:41 am
missed football but at least we didn't have the stress and frustration it can bring when your team lets you down. the former manchester united captain roy keane last night let rip at the current side's defending, during their draw against spurs in the premier league last night. this is what made him so angry. tottenham's, steven bergwijn, running through united's defence to score. keane said he‘s ‘sick to death‘ of ‘keeper david de gea, who he says should have easily saved the shot. he also said that de gea and defender harry maguire, should have been banned from the team bus and made to get a taxi back to manchester. united got themselves level thanks to a second half penalty. it was scored by bruno fernandes. there are four more premier league games back to back today, and it all means football focus, is back on our screens today at midday.
7:42 am
and dan is here in the building. as much as we loved it coming from your lounge dan, with dog winnie, you can‘t beat the proper studio. some of the games being back have felt a little bit strange, we are getting used to that crowd noise being pumped in, ithink we can getting used to that crowd noise being pumped in, i think we can see that football is back now we have seen a roy keane rant. it is a moment of history for the bbc, is the first time since 1988, which was a totte n ha m the first time since 1988, which was a tottenham game with arsenal which was a live top—flight name on the bbc hosted byjimmy hill and tonight it is bournemouth against crystal palace, it is a premier league game live on the bbc. we will be talking about that and we are speaking to the bournemouth boss from a day on bbc one, and we are also speaking... iam sure bbc one, and we are also speaking... i am sure you have seen lockdown
7:43 am
haircuts which have been entertaining at all. wilf is not shy when it comes to a flamboyant barnett. this is a trend that is not low maintenance. talk me through this one with the pink strip. to be honest, i get bored at times. you have got to understand, i had dreadlocks for ages, it was like, let me change it up a bit. everyone has got different things going on, no one has a pink stripjust in the front. what encouraged you to go fully blonde? i was going to go to a mad colour but you are breaking your hair, iwas mad colour but you are breaking your hair, i was going to go silver, like grey. that would have been crazy, that would have been serious. there is still time. there you go, the perils of haircuts which i am sure
7:44 am
many of us have been through in the last few weeks. we will also be live at the early game which is watford against leicester at fort team news and brighton against arsenal which isa and brighton against arsenal which is a three o‘clock kick—off which is going to be live on tv. if you don‘t like football, there is a lot of it on. we have a piece about football league being back and speaking to someone at charlton, and trying to tie up everything happening in the european leagues over the last few weeks. there is a lot going on. we have got michael richards with us. we are back in the studio, it is going to feel a bit weird. no dogs or book shelves behind me. at midday on bbc one. maybe give winnie some extra bones to try and appease her. there‘s been a positive coronavirus test, at a golf tournament in the us. the american nick watney tested negative before the competition started,
7:45 am
but was then showing symptoms before the second day‘s play. on the course, rory mcilroy managed to make the cut in south carolina with a round of 65. he‘d struggled on thursday, but looked more like the world number one in the second round, but he‘s still seven shots behind the leaders. we‘ve had ourfirst look behind the scenes, at the so—called bio—bubble that england and west indies cricketers will experience in southampton next month. it‘s pretty unique as players and officials won‘t leave the ground from the moment they arrive to the end of the test match. they‘ll stay in a hotel on site, and have to stick to strict protocols and testing too. the first test should start on the 8thjuly. effectively, what we have done is, we have unpacked the entire game, and put it back together again, with a medical covid lens on top of it. every time you do that, that‘s a first. it‘s been incredible, and i think the reward at the end of it is absolutely going to be worthwhile. it‘s the final day of racing
7:46 am
at royal ascot, and could we see an unprecedented hat—trick today, with a third female win in as many days? after hayley turner‘s success on thursday, hollie doyle rode scarlet dragon to victory in the duke of edinburgh stakes for only the third win, by a female jockey ever at the event. the lack of crowds, and the roar and noise on the final furlong certainly not affecting the female jockeys. loads of football to enjoy life on the bbc. it is just after quarter to nine. it is going to get hot after next week. here‘s louise with a look at this morning‘s weather. the sun is shining, it has got its hat on at the moment but there is wet weather arriving a little late on today. it will bring another inch of rain so the gardens will have had
7:47 am
quite a of rain so the gardens will have had quitea drink of rain so the gardens will have had quite a drink over the last few days. we have got a little bit of shower cloud to the south—west and up shower cloud to the south—west and up to the north and the cloud across the northern isles is going to linger, it is going to be a lot of low cloud, mist and fog. a little bit disappointing but for most of us, a good slice of dry, sunny weather, one or two isolated showers from that cloud in the south—west but they will drift steadily northwards and there will be few and far between. most of us staying with sunshine and highs. at the end of the day, we will see wetter weather arriving into northern ireland and gradually pushing into scotland during the night, we were the gusts of wind in excess of 30 mph, an inch of wind in excess of 30 mph, an inch of rain pushing its way steadily east and temperatures staying on the mild side overnight. 10—14d. we start off tomorrow morning with some rain in the forecast with this area of the pressure still influencing the story. the front has yet to clear away, it‘s going to rattle
7:48 am
through at quite a pace. we are not expecting much in the way of rain and once we have got through the middle part of the date, we start off with some wet weather into scotla nd off with some wet weather into scotland and eastern england. that clears to sunshine, some scattered showers across england and wales but there will be more widespread showers into northern ireland and scotla nd showers into northern ireland and scotland during the day. that you‘re in the strength of that winter, over 30 mph in some places, blustery but some sunshine coming through. temperatures likely to peak between 14 and 22 degrees. as you move out of sunday into monday, almost a similar story, we keep the rain into the far north—west. showery outbreaks of rain into northern ireland and western scotland. best of the sunshine into the east of england, but this is the start of this warmer air started to arrive. 23, 20 this warmer air started to arrive. 23,20 4 this warmer air started to arrive. 23, 20 4 degrees this warmer air started to arrive. 23,20 4 degrees on this warmer air started to arrive. 23, 20 4 degrees on monday. that is because high pressure across the continent is going to start to drift its way further north and west. it will push this front into the extreme north—west and then it will dry in some very warm air indeed. as
7:49 am
the winds spin around that high pressure in a clockwise direction, they went coming from the south and south easterly direction. look at these temperatures. fantastic. feels like we had a winter over the last few weeks, that is brilliant. the good weather helps in terms of being able to meet people, socialise and be outdoors where ever you are in the united kingdom. but we have also seen an increase in illegal gatherings and legal raves. —— illegal. people are being urged not to attend illegal raves this weekend, with police warning it‘s not safe and you could be prosecuted. last weekend saw a number of gatherings in the greater manchester area, with one man being arrested in connection with one of the illegal events, which was attended by around 2,000 people. let‘s speak withjon drape,
7:50 am
who is the director of the events company, engine number four. you organise these things officially, legally. can you understand why so many people a p pa re ntly understand why so many people apparently have been tempted to attend these illegal events after being locked down for the last few weeks? yeah, of course i can. clearly event season has been struck down by covid—19 and there is a desire for young people to go out and enjoy themselves but these events a re and enjoy themselves but these events are extremely dangerous. we have seen the headlines over the last week or so, there are rumours that there are more raves and illegal parties planned in all parts of the uk over the next few weeks. what would you say to somebody who is may be planning to attend one?” just would not attend. i would highly recommend people stay away from them. when we start looking at event planning, we are looking at months and months are very detailed planning, we are looking at suitability of sites, the
7:51 am
infrastructure we need to introduce to the sites to make them safe for young people to attend, so the things we are considering our site lighting, sanitation, emergency access. all of these factors are not being dealt with by these organisers. some people might think, i will go and i will keep my distance and i will try and stay two metres away and i will stand at the site. is that possible? it clearly is not possible, we have seen some of the footage from last week. sadly, young man lost his life and ended up in intensive care, there are no medicalfacilities on site and they haven‘t got any way of managing the distance and that is required. we have been talking this morning about the potential reduction of social distancing from two metres and the impact that might have on hospitality, and schools. what about you as an events organiser, what are you looking at
7:52 am
in terms of what you might be able to organise over the weeks and months ahead? we are working with a number around the months ahead? we are working with a numberaround the uk, months ahead? we are working with a number around the uk, looking at doing socially distance events such as concerts, other people have launched driving film experiences. the industry is trying to pivot and create safe events for people to attend, but clearly we are not going to have the festival season as we know it back until next year at the earliest. it must be a nightmare for your industry. you talk about pivoting and coming up with new ideas and solutions, but this must bea ideas and solutions, but this must be a real challenge. oh, it is. it is not just ourselves be a real challenge. oh, it is. it is notjust ourselves as organisers. the chain is passed, the amount of people who joined the summer season is considerable, staging companies, lighting companies, toilet contractors, security companies. there is a huge industry which has
7:53 am
been affected. that's forjoining us on breakfast this morning. there were no —— there would normally be a party at stonehenge this weekend, that is clearly not happening but they are live streaming the sunrise if you want to follow it. we will talk more about that and meet someone who is taking pa rt that and meet someone who is taking part in their own rituals later on. we will also talk about restaurants and how they adapted to potentially reopening under it may be one metre social distancing rule if the government is considering that. perspex screens between tables and disposable menus. over the last year, 17—year—old greta thunberg, has become one the most famous climate campaigners in the world, but for the last three months she‘s been in lockdown at home in stockholm. but she believes there are important lessons to be learned from the coronavirus pandemic to help in the fight against climate change. our chief environment correspondent, justin rowlatt has been speaking to her...
7:54 am
the best thing about lockdown for greta thunberg? more time with her dog, roxy. and she‘s also found time to speak exclusively to us. the glasshouses at kew store some of the world‘s rarest plants. greta says the coronavirus pandemic is a tragedy with no long—term benefits for the environment, except that it mightjust alter the way the world approaches other crises. they are saying "we‘ll do whatever it takes, because we cannot put a price on a human life." if you use that logic, it changes the discussion and the debate. she has been following the black lives matter protests, and talks about what she described as an awakening, notjust on race and climate, but on gender and other issues. it is always the fight forjustice.
7:55 am
and it feels like we have passed some kind of social tipping point, where people are starting to realise that we cannot keep looking away from these things. we cannot keep sweeping these things under the carpet, these injustices. a big lockdown project has been a programme for swedish radio about her campaigning. my message is, and has always been, listen to the science. her action on climate took her across the atlantic on a racing yacht. it saw her heading up huge rallies... people are dying, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. how dare you! ..and calling out world leaders in the un. she tells me her growing celebrity worldwide has led to terrible threats and abuse of her family and friends online. people don‘t want to hear me talk about this, and people won‘t be
7:56 am
able to handle this, so they are going to try to silence me and some people know no limits. it doesn‘t affect me when people, like, attack me. it is hard when your family, and especially my little sister, gets targeted by these kinds of things. that is the hardest thing. but she says in a crazy way it shows her message is getting through. they are trying to silence you for a reason, and that reason is because you are too loud. and if you are loud, that means you are having a difference, you are having an impact. greta thunberg has suffered mental health issues and is autistic. she believes it has been a strength, not a weakness. she calls her autism he it makes me different from the rest. it makes me see the world in a different view. many people are able
7:57 am
to see the climate crisis as being really important, and then theyjust go on with their everyday lives. and i can‘t do that. this is the defining image of greta, a child protesting alone outside swedish parliament. without my autism i never would have started the school strike. i tried all different methods, but honestly, that didn‘t work, because i was too bad at socialising. i didn‘t enjoy, ijust hated making small talk and constantly being around so many people, socialising. so i decided, no, i will do something myself. she is proud she decided to talk openly about mental health. there is actually many people who are suffering from bad mental health. so many people reach out to me and say, i have autism as well, and thank you for killing stereotypes, and that makes me very,
7:58 am
very happy that i can contribute to that. the 17—year—old is now looking forward to going back to school in a few weeks‘ time. i am really hoping to study, because i love studying. but greta thunberg says she has no plans to stop campaigning on the climate. justin rowlatt, bbc news. it is always a slightly awkward when you go from discussing or hearing something like climate change to then go and celebrate sunshine. yes, because it is summer solstice weekend. lots of you have been sending us beautiful pictures. lesley has sent us this gorgeous photograph of portland in dorset this morning. alex sent us this photo of salisbury plain...
7:59 am
8:00 am
a change to the two metre rule in england could be announced within days, meaning pubs, restaurants and hotels can re—open next month. marches and demonstrations across the united states to mark the anniversary of the end of slavery in the country. the premier league return really ramps up today with four more games. and one of them is on the bbc. bournemouth against crystal palace will be the first ever premier league game to be shown live on the beeb. five—year—old tony‘s half—a—million pound fundraising walk — and the inspiration that got him started. captain tom made me do it. i saw him on tv walking the other day, so i saidi on tv walking the other day, so i said i could do that. good morning. nota bad good morning. not a bad start to our weekend weather wise, dry wood lots of sunshine around for many of us, just a few sharp but isolated showers across the south. all the
8:01 am
details coming up shortly. good morning. it‘s saturday the 20th ofjune. our top story. a government announcement in the two metre social distancing rule in england is expected in the next week, amid growing signs it will be relaxed. pubs and restaurants are planning to reopen next month but the hospitality industry is warning that without a change businesses will struggle to survive. in the last hour conservative mp iain duncan smith, told us cutting the distance to one metre is important for the entire economy. the economy is teetering at the moment. we are supporting lots of people through the furlough scheme and loans and these are going to have to come to an end. if we don't get the economy moving now, which is why two metres to one metre is so critical, we will see company simply calling it a day and putting people onto unemployment, and i don't want that to happen for very good reasons to do with health, mental health, etc, being unemployed, not being able to see their way forward,
8:02 am
that is very damaging to people and the people who get the most damage will be the poorest. but it is quite a divisive subject. professor michael tildesley, who‘s a specialist in infectious diseases, has warned any changes will have to be implemented very cautiously. the key thing is, if this decision is made to reduce to one metre, we really hammer home that that one metre needs to be observed, plus we need to maintain other practices such as good hygiene which is extremely important at this point in time, plus if we do start to see cases rising, we rapidly react to that, so we consider may be reintroduction of some measures if we start to see cases rising over the coming weeks. let‘s speak to our political correspondent helen catt, who joins us from our london newsroom. it is only a metre, but it‘s a big decision. yes, a small distance but a big decision for the government to make and a lot of things they have to weigh up in making it. we should
8:03 am
say that if the outcome of any review this week that we know is happening, any decision made off the back of that by the westminster government would only directly apply in england, and it is not a nailed on certainty that the distance would be reduced, but that is certainly where the direction of travel seems to be. it is certainly what the expectation is, and it is where the political pressure is too, so boris johnson has previously indicated he would like to reduce the distance onceit would like to reduce the distance once it is save enough to do so. some conservative mps, senior backbenchers, have been saying more stridently this week that they think the time is now or at least eminently because of that 4th of july date when borisjohnson has suggested things like pubs and hairdressers might be able to start reopening in england. we have to have a little bit of caution around the 4th ofjuly itself, because the government language has consistently been from the 4th ofjuly at the earliest, and businesses are going to wa nt earliest, and businesses are going to want some sort of indication of if that does happen what the rules of the game are likely to be when they do. you talk about the messaging. even before there is a
8:04 am
decision or an announcement, it does feel from the comments the prime minister said yesterday about watch this space on two metres, it does seem like an official strategy to try to encourage us out of lockdown, to bea try to encourage us out of lockdown, to be a bit more positive, a bit more relaxed. it is certainly true that the government does want to get the economy going again, it is worried about people being stuck in lockdown of the social and health impacts of that, and there is a sense that to do that you do need to get people out and about a bit more. but there is also a tricky balance to strike here, so on the one hand if you start to reduce things like social distancing, there is the challenge to convince people that you have been so clear about the fa ct you have been so clear about the fact that two metres is the safe distance, how do you now convey that one metre is safe. but on the flip side, you don‘t want to make people think that everything is fine and they don‘t need to observe social distancing at all. so there is a tricky challenge to strike. the government has consistently said it is led by the science on this, but
8:05 am
it is going to have to, if it does change the rules, be pretty sure about expending why. helen catt, thank you very much indeed. passengers arriving at uk airports could soon pay to be swabbed to find out if they have coronavirus. the firms behind the trial — which is expected to start within weeks — are hoping a that a negative result would allow people to avoid quarantine. the government insists foreign visitors will have to self—isolate for two weeks. president trump will stage a controversial rally in oklahoma later — one day after marches were held across the us to markjuneteenth, a holiday celebrating the end of slavery in the country. thousands of people took to the streets on friday following weeks of calls for racialjustice. david willis reports. it‘s a date on the calendar that for most white americans has previously passed without recognition. but this year was different. coming amid widespread protests over the death of george floyd, juneteenth has ta ken
8:06 am
on a new significance. across the us, there were events to mark the day that slavery here finally came to an end. in tulsa, oklahoma, they marked it too. a leading civil rights leader calling for the protests to go on. greatness is when blacks and whites and latinos and asians and original americans hit the streets all over this country and march against your tear gas, and march against your rubber bullets, and march against a military occupation you threaten, and march anyhow. that is what will make america great. tulsa is also the scene of president trump‘s controversial re—election rally later today, but it‘s a controversial choice. in 1921, tulsa was the site of one of the worst outbreaks of racial violence when white mobs attacked black businesses and killed around 300 people.
8:07 am
it‘s donald trump‘s first rally in over three months, and people have been queueing outside the venue since early in the week. i knew this would be a big rally, and i wanted to get a seat. a million tickets have been requested for this. so i wanted to be here early. a night—time curfew in the city imposed amid threats of violence at the rally has now been lifted, and the president tweeted this warning to potential troublemakers. "any protesters, anarchists, agitators, looters or lowlifes who are going to oklahoma, please understand you will not be treated like you have been in new york, seattle or minneapolis," he said. "it will be a much different scene!" the trump campaign is hoping the rally will shift attention from concerns about racial injustice and police brutality — issues these demonstrators say mr trump has so far yet to address.
8:08 am
brazil has become the second country in the world — after america — to confirm more than1 million cases of covid—19. almost 49,000 people have died with coronavirus in the country, and its health ministry also posted a record number of new cases in the past 24 hours. brazil‘s poorest communities have been particularly badly hit. id theft has gone up by nearly a fifth in the last year. that‘s according to the counter—fraud organisation which runs the national fraud database. people‘s identities were stolen more than 223,000 times last year. the number of id thefts is expected to be even higher in the next few years as criminals look to exploit people during the coronavirus pandemic. nearly ten past nine on a sunny saturday morning. thank you for
8:09 am
joining us. we‘ve been following the story of five—year—old tony hudgell, who starting walking at the beginning ofjune, hoping to raise £500 pounds for the hospital that saved his life. it isa it is a remarkable story, but also a heartbreaking one. he finds walking difficult because he has prosthetic legs, but he has inspired thousands of people to donate. the total has now reached half a million pounds. breakfast‘s graham satchell has been to see how he‘s getting on. every day since the beginning ofjune, 5—year—old tony has been walking in his local park. captain tom made me done it. i saw him on tv, walking the other day, i said, i could do that. captain tom walked 100 laps of his garden by his 100th birthday and raised millions for the nhs.
8:10 am
tony‘s target, to raise money for the evelina children‘s hospital that saved his life, by walking ten kilometres on his new prosthetic legs. they‘re really smart and good. but when i walk, they arejust so, yeah... really hurting. they hurt, do they? a bit sore? yeah. helping him through the pain, a small army of supporters, including juanita and her sons, who were also treated at the evelina. i think what tony's doing is completely amazing. as parents, the one thing we can't ever say enough of is thank you, and this is a big thank you to a hospital that is the reason our boys are here with us. mark, how strong is that son of yours? incredibly strong. he just keeps going.
8:11 am
we are totally blown away by everybody's kind support, generosity, and it will make such a difference to that hospital that saved tony's life. tony was just 41 days old when he was taken to the evelina hospital in london with horrific injuries. he had been neglected and abused by his biological parents. the evelina worked on him for three months. they never expected him to survive. tony‘s legs were so badly damaged they eventually had to be amputated. paula, a foster carer, was asked if she would take tony in. presented in front of me was this tiny, broken, shut down, underweight, legs in plaster, four—month—old baby. i broke down in tears. absolutely sobbed. and thought, i can't do this. but within two hours of being with him, there was no way i was going to leave him. he was coming home with us.
8:12 am
hello! who's that, tony? hi, tony! we set up a quick video call with tony‘s consultant at the evelina. this isjust fantastic, fantastic. amazing, amazing efforts, i have to say. all this money, all these funds that you are going to raise for the evelina, it is all going to go to a good cause. you will help us care for a lot of children who need our help, who have complex needs, and you will help us change their lives for the good. you know how i feel. you and your team are just amazing. and you really are, you're one in a million. right, tony, good luck with the rest of the walking that you're doing. keep going! you are an inspiration to us all. thank you!
8:13 am
tony has almost finished his walk for today. the red post box the finish line. he's a very strong, determined a little boy. he knows what he wants. and if he wants something, he will go out and set about his way of getting it. whoops! he‘s down, but not for long. tony has already overcome so many hurdles, a small fall won‘t stop him. he's very modest. he has absolutely blown us away, am so happy that he's raised that amount of money. but he doesn't see that he's special enough to have earned that, you know, got that amount. he is, isn‘t he? very special. very, very special. if you could decide, how much money would you like to raise? five million thousand pounds. five million thousand pounds! i want to, yeah. that‘s a great total. that‘s the best total ever.
8:14 am
and who‘s to say he won‘t get there? he isjust gorgeous, and credit to the family who are utterly wonderful. so, he wanted £500. when we came on air this morning it was about 450,000. have a look at his fundraising page now. £543,000. absolutely unbelievable. tech back one, well done you. and i know so many of you have been supporting him and donating as well, so thank you. —— tony hudgell, thank you very
8:15 am
much. i think five million thousand pounds is definitely possible now! as he would say, yay! here‘s louise with a look at this morning‘s weather. absolutely beautiful summer scene here across suffolk. and eastern england seeing the best of the sunshine so far this morning. some thick cloud is going to linger into the northern isles. despite that sunshine into northern ireland, there is some rain on its way, but it won‘t arrive until the end of the day. enjoy the sunshine if you‘ve got it. a few scattered showers in the south—west may well drift up through the midlands in south yorkshire, not that many, few and far between. temperatures should peak at around 22 degrees, 72
8:16 am
fahrenheit, with the exception of the northern isles where we keep that cloud. all change tomorrow, we bring in some wet weather and windy weather and it moves across scotland and the north of england, quite a lot of cloud generally, so temperature is going to hold up widely into double digits, but tomorrow morning could start off wet for some. that front still yet to clear away, all tied into this low pressure. the eyes cruising together, the wind is remaining a feature as well. —— the isobars together. into the afternoon it will bea together. into the afternoon it will be a lovely afternoon with a few scattered showers across scotland, northern ireland and north—west england, but too bad. breezy with it, gust in excess of 30 mph, not quite as promising as today, but widely low 20s are still quite possible, 21, 20 2 degrees, may be a bit more in the far north. a similar
8:17 am
story into monday. we keep the wetter weather into the north—west, the weather front bringing showery outbreaks of rain across scotland, northern ireland, north—west england, more cloud generally around on monday, but where it breaks we see sunshine and highs of 23 degrees. you want to know about the heat, here it is. it is all due to this high pressure that is going to nudge its way in from the near continent, and as the wind circulate ina continent, and as the wind circulate in a clockwise direction around the high, that warm south—easterly will drive up the heat from the mediterranean, so it will push the rain back up into the north—west, and eventually as it climbs up into the low 20s, highest value as possible, 31, 30 2 degrees not out of the question. thank you very much indeed, louise, lovely. an announcement on whether to reduce the two metre rule for england will be made next week. any change would be welcomed by the hospitality industry
8:18 am
which is warning many pubs and restaurants won‘t survive unless changes are made. so what does the science say? the two metre rule isn‘t universal — and countries have adopted differing social distancing measures — here‘s are a few examples. the world health organization recommends keeping a distance of at least one metre. countries like china and france have adopted this. others like austria, germany, greece and italy are at 1.5 metres. and the uk, along with spain and canada, are practising two metres. joining us now is peter borg—neal, who‘s the chief executive of oakman inns and nisha katona, founder of the restaurant chain mowgli street food. iimagine i imagine this is encouraging news, if it is confirmed next week. very much so. it is vital. if they don‘t make those changes, far fewer places will be able to open, and even those
8:19 am
that can open may well find out they can‘t make money, they can‘t survive, so it really is a very important change. and nisha, for you as well, if it goes down to one metre or even 1.5 metres, how could that change things?” metre or even 1.5 metres, how could that change things? i tell you, our revenue will be down to about 30 or 40%, and restaurants, because of the way the margins work, you are 60% before you are even cleaning your own face, so to open it two metres is almost economic folly. reduction of that two metres his hope of oxyge n of that two metres his hope of oxygen for the hospitality industry. the hospitality industry employs 2 million people, so if there is a reduction, and you are not making enough money for the cost incumbent on the restaurant. we need the government to be confident. at the moment we have people gathering. they are missing their families and friends, they are gathering on hills with bottles of goodness knows what. give that task to us. we are
8:20 am
consummate professionals in marshaling the way that people interact. we have guidelines, we have strict enforcement of that within restaurants, it is a safe place. so the balancing act that the government is conducting between economy and health, that health element is softening. now we can start to bring the economy alive, and allows us to do that by reducing two metres. but we heard this morning from a virus expert saying he was really nervous about the two metres being reduced, he said it is a risky point in the pandemic and it is too much too soon. for every scientist that says that, there will be scientists that don't. and what we have to do is trust the government to look at the medical evidence. i am government to look at the medical evidence. lam not government to look at the medical evidence. i am not a government to look at the medical evidence. lam not a medic. let's trust the scientist. and it is a balancing act. there is a point at some point where the balancing act tips in favour of, we can relax this. so the point at which the
8:21 am
prime minister comes to the podium and says, restaurants are open, you are safe in restaurants, that needs to be founded with good medical evidence. i can't go behind the philosophies of government internally that lead to the point of us coming to that podium scientifically. it needs to be founded on good science. but the point at which the government do that, we should have safe in —— have faith in the fact that we are experts in implementing what the government recommend. peter, you have pubs in the south—east of england, you have been planning for one metre and two metre distancing. what will it look like? what will it feel like as we head indoors? we have worked hard to make it feel as normal as possible. you don‘t want to lose the pub atmosphere. but there will be things like for example on arrival you will be asked to sanitise your hands. you will then be taken to a table. we won‘t initially be allowing any vertical
8:22 am
drinking. people will be asked to order using an app. they will be asked to use common sense when moving from their table to the loose. there will be sanitisation stations outside and inside the loos. and between tables that are close together, we will be having glass screening to provide a kind of physical barrier between the two. so we believe that one metre is entirely safe, and we believe we can support that by some other measures. i‘m also convinced, and many scientist are, the key thing is regular hand washing, keeping place is very clean, cubic surfaces clean. there is no way that i or any of our collea g u es there is no way that i or any of our colleagues could open unless we are confident that we could keep people safe, and we have worked hard preparing for this. we can
8:23 am
definitely keep people safe at one metre and hopefully in due course even proof that that can be relax further. i love the concept of vertical drinking. hanging out at the bar, basically! let‘s say for example you are sitting in your household of six at a table in a couple of friends or neighbours come in and walk over, and they edge closer to the table, they might pull up closer to the table, they might pull upa chair. closer to the table, they might pull up a chair. is it then your role to police that and say, would you mind moving away, please? police that and say, would you mind moving away, please ?” police that and say, would you mind moving away, please? ithink in police that and say, would you mind moving away, please? i think in a gentle fashion. all the evidence has sustained face—to—face contact for a long period of time. that is even presuming there is anyone present who is ill. but a short conversation, allowing people to very quickly catch up would be ok. you then quietly go over and just gently you then quietly go over and just ge ntly m ove you then quietly go over and just gently move people on. it is about just communicating being sensible, reminding people. and don‘t forget, the public have learned this. there have been an awful lot of self
8:24 am
policing. if we have some behave extremely badly, we would intervene, but i think a bit of stopping to say hello on the way to your table, i think that is kind of ok in a scientific sense. nisha, you employ 500 people across your restaurants. what are you thinking about in terms of their livelihoods as you go through these possible changes in the different variables about opening and operating? the different variables about opening and operating ?m the different variables about opening and operating? it is very simple, almost binary at the moment. with the two—metre rule, we haven't had to lose a single employee yet, but we will. there will then be a list of employees we have to go through. we want to keep those people off universal credit. i want to start paying my people again. it is so very important, and it is all predicated on that distancing, so it is really about bringing that down, keeping hold of all of those jobs, we can rotor it in a way that we can
8:25 am
keep the employment force together and intact. the worst thing that could happen for my teams that i wa nt could happen for my teams that i want to protect is a second wave. so it isn't right that there are these guidelines. we will defend those guidelines. we will defend those guidelines frankly with our life. the moment you are about to lose 30 or 40% of the lights on your high street, you see it every day, the casualties. if we get that second wave, you would end up with an enormous toothless grin on the high street, and with those shutters go byjobs. i street, and with those shutters go by jobs. i want street, and with those shutters go byjobs. i want to protect that. so somebody sidles up to a table, they will be sent back. they will be robust enforcement. because we don't wa nt robust enforcement. because we don't want that second peak. nisha, i sense your enthusiasm and positivity and determination to go with this, but do you worry that even without a second wave, people mightjust not wa nt to second wave, people mightjust not want to go out in the same way, socialise in the same way, that we might be looking at a very different economy and way of life? we have to think that, but can i tell you what
8:26 am
is great is when the shops open, there are queues around the block. what is also of great solace is that we have opened our booking lines, and what we find it so fascinating, people rather than socialising at home, as you can understand there is that level of residual anxiety, they are choosing to do group bookings in are choosing to do group bookings in a restaurant. so what i know is there is an appetite. there is an appetite to eat differently. in so much actually that the groups are slightly bigger, they are family units. and there is an increased frequency, using the restaurants in the way they would use their own home dining rooms. that is real hope, notjust the home dining rooms. that is real hope, not just the for hospitality, but the re—emergence and resurrection of our high streets. the high streets and what is on them, the retail and restaurants, thatis them, the retail and restaurants, that is why we work, that is why we live, that is the cohesion in society. we take our family and friends to these places. we have to preserve that. they have to have some faith that we are safe places to eat, and when the government can
8:27 am
stand there and say it is safe, it must really be safe, and we must endorse that. and the same question to you, peter, are your patrons banging on the door, desperate to be let in? absolutely. we announced on wednesday evening that we were opening on the 4th ofjuly, and we have two places fully booked already. we had over a thousand bookings by lunchtime on the first day. my colleagues i spoke to them this morning, they are finding the same thing. so there is a definite public appetite to return and to get out and get life back to normal. so we are super confident that the public are behind us and they are very keen to come out, and i think they trust us. they know that we are an expert on risk analysis, food hygiene, health and safety, they can trust us to deal with this in the right way. public appetite, i see what you did the! thank you both very much indeed for your time. good luck. peter borg—neal and nisha
8:28 am
kato na good luck. peter borg—neal and nisha katona there representing the pub and restaurant trade. we should be vertical drinking, it is said and tree drinking at the moment! we‘re on bbc one until ten o‘clock this morning, when matt tebbutt takes over in the saturday kitchen. you must be looking at these rules as well about social distancing and what difference it makes the customers but also in the kitchens. absolutely, it is a huge thing for the hospitality trade, to be able to function and do theirjobs properly and yet still maintain all the rules and yet still maintain all the rules and regulations. so it is a huge hurdle, actually, and the sooner we strive in some way to get back to normal, the better for strive in some way to get back to normal, the betterfor everyone, really. anyway, that the serious! our special guest today is the fabulous jack whitehall. he will be here live at ten o‘clock. he has some ingredients for me. he has had a rummage around his cupboard and found some sea bass, so hopefully thatis found some sea bass, so hopefully that is nice and fresh. chang is

8:30 am
hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and rachel burden. coming up before ten we have the sport and weather. but first, a summary of this morning‘s main news. a review into the two metre social distancing rule in england will conclude "within the coming days", according to the government. it comes amid warnings many businesses will not survive under the current guidance, as the government prepares to ease more restrictions onjuly the 4th. pubs, restaurants and hotels are among those hoping to reopen. pubs could be patrolled and people could be encouraged to use apps to order drinks. passengers arriving at uk airports could soon pay to be swabbed to find out if they have coronavirus. the firms behind the trial — which is expected to start within weeks — are hoping a that a negative
8:31 am
result would allow people to avoid quarantine. the government insists foreign visitors will have to self isolate for two weeks. marches and demonstrations have taken place across the us to markjuneteenth, a holiday celebrating the end of slavery in the country. thousands of people demonstrated at events on friday, including in new york, los angeles, and the city of tulsa in oklahoma, which is hosting donald trump‘s controversial campaign rally later today. president trump had planned to hold his event in tulsa on friday but postponed it by a day following local protests. those are the main stories this morning. if you have looked out of the window, the sun is shining in most parts of the uk. it is appropriate because it is summer solstice. this weekend sees the annual summer solstice at stonehenge. normally thousands of people, including druids, gather there each year to celebrate — but this year the site is closed
8:32 am
because of coronavirus. the good news is you‘ll still be able to watch the sunrise, because english heritage are live—streaming it on their social media channels. duncan kennedy has been to see them setting up. this is how it should look, and sound — the great spectacle of high summer at the great monument of stonehenge. but not this year. yes, that will work nicely, i think. because of covid—19, english heritage have for the first time cancelled the celebrations. instead, a film crew will live—stream the event on social media. it is a great honour and it is really exciting to stand in the middle of the stone circle with no—one else around, no—one else inside, and to broadcast the footage right here in stonehenge to potentially millions and millions of people around the world. english heritage says you can view the sunrise on all its social media sites, and safety must take priority. sadly, we're just trying to give the message please don't travel. the stones will not be open, and the landscape around, which is owned by the national trust, is also not
8:33 am
open to the public. so stay at home, watch from the comfort of your own sofa, and come back next year. wiltshire police have also urged the public to stay away from the stones, saying they will have officers in the area. but one leading druid says he will still try to attend, at a safe distance. so it is my intention to be as close as is legally possible to stonehenge. people started gathering and worshipping for the solstices and equinoxes for thousands of years, and we are a continuation of that tradition. there are already a number of signs around the area warning the public that the solstice celebrations have been cancelled this year. english heritage say the entire site around the stones will be sealed off, and they are asking members of the public not to turn up on sunday morning. this film crew will be up long before dawn on sunday, hoping to capture history at this
8:34 am
unique site of prehistory. let‘s speak now to susan greaney, who‘s a senior historian at english heritage, and gordon rimes, who‘s a pagan priest. good morning, thank you forjoining us. it has been a subject of some controversy this morning when we mark the solstice, is it this morning, tomorrow morning, tonight? when are you doing it? we did it this morning, it is quite legitimate to do it on both days, it depends what you follow. we don‘t do it wrong, just different. the actual solstice was this morning, if you count the date from midnight to midnight but under the old celtic tradition, they counted the day from sunset to sunset. therefore, the solstice would have been at 22:44pm,
8:35 am
so it is legitimate to do it on sunday morning and today. that is the kind of balance we strive for, much appreciated. you have been out this morning? how do you mark this day? i have been in somebody's back garden, normally i would be on a high spot on the stonehenge with the local vicar, we call in the sun, light a candle and take it into the church, and we carry a crystal sphere to charge with a summer solstice sun which we release on the ridge of solstice morning. we are seeing pictures of you at this morning, it looked a little bit messy and dull. but the sun just about breaking through. was there any consideration given to trying to allow this to happen with a limited
8:36 am
numbers, social distancing in place, actually at the site itself? no, unfortunately because the government guidance is still strongly against mass gatherings and because social distancing is still the mainstay of presenting the spread of this virus, we really haven't been able to consider allowing anybody in really. the middle of stonehenge is actually quite small, it is difficult to socially distance and we felt it would be unhelpful to let some people in and then restrict others. we have just had to cancel the whole thing i'm afraid this year. we are really sorry about that and we know how much solstice at stonehenge means to so many people which is why we have set up the live stream. means to so many people which is why we have set up the live streamm probably worth reminding people, the significance of solstice and stonehenge, the relationship between the two, the event and the actual stones itself. stonehenge was built in prehistory to align with the movements of the sun. it aligns with the midsummersun movements of the sun. it aligns with the midsummer sun rise so if you are able to stand in the middle tomorrow morning, you would see the sunrise over the heel stone which is an
8:37 am
outlying stone outside the stone circle. and conversely, it is also aligned with the midwinter sunset so on the shortest day of the year. people in the neolithic period clearly thought these times of year we re really clearly thought these times of year were really significant and were probably gathering at the site for rituals and ceremonies in those days. you can see at the pictures we are showing the numbers it attracts, that was a couple of years ago. quite understandable that wasn‘t going to happen and work this year at all. gordon, how disappointing is it for you not to be there this year, to be missing it? i wouldn't be at stonehenge. i am just on the road from stonehenge, there were some people about this morning, i would like to thank you people not coming, we have been trying to encourage people not to come. it is disappointing for us but all the churches and mosques have been closed, and our sites and stonehenge, they are notjust closed
8:38 am
to pagans, they are closed to everybody. that is general member of the public as well. we have to act responsibly as well. this is exceptional times. i am sure lots of people... i have lost friends to covid—19 so we would not want to spread it. we have had covid—19 in the village. here, the shop, the cafe, the pub, the car park, the to i lets, cafe, the pub, the car park, the toilets, you can‘t even get a drink of water in avery at any time during the day. —— avebury. of water in avery at any time during the day. -- avebury. we are talking about things being a bit different. notjust a bit! but i believe you have had thousands of people sign up to the facebook stream. we had over half a million people sign up, whether they will remember to set
8:39 am
their alarms and get up in time is a different matter. we know people have signed up around the world which is nice, people on the other side of the world will be able to watch the sunrise from their own homes, it is different. it is not what we would have intended but we're trying to make the best of it. ido we're trying to make the best of it. i do hope the clouds cleared tomorrow morning for you at some point. thank you so much to both of you. point. thank you so much to both of you- happy point. thank you so much to both of you. happy solstice stop happy solstice, everybody! thank you very much indeed. it is saturday morning coming up to ten o‘clock, and we are beginning to be able to talk about actual sport happening. good morning. on the longest day, we have the longest day of that but i can rememberfor a long longest day of that but i can remember for a long time. the premier league return moves up a notch today, with 4 games, back—to—back, and one of them is live on the bbc, for the first time ever. this was the last time that a game on the top league in england, was shown live on the bbc — tottenham against arsenal in 1988 — so before the premier league was formed.
8:40 am
jimmy hill was at the helm for the match of the day team that day. it‘ll be gary lineker in charge tonight when bournemouth host crystal palace, coverage starts on bbc one at 7:15. and it really does feel like the football is back, now that roy keane has had a good old rant. the former manchester united captain, let rip at the current side‘s defending, during their draw against spurs in the premier league last night. this is what made him so angry. tottenham‘s steven bergwijn, running through united‘s defence to score. keane said he‘s "sick to death" of keeper david de gea, who he says should have easily saved the shot. united got themselves level thanks to a second half penalty. it was scored by bruno fernandes, and the spurs boss hose mourinho was unhappy with the draw. ——jose. it is not a penalty, i wouldn‘t give that penalty, especially if i was
8:41 am
the mac one. on the pitch, it can look, from my position, so distance scratch resistant. it looked to be a penalty, but when you look on tv, not happy with that. well, if spurs and united are targeting european football, norwich look like they‘re going to be relegated. the premier league‘s bottom side, endured similar fortunes to, before the shutdown. they were beaten 3—0 by southampton — all the goals coming in the second half. no team has ever beaten the drop with norwich‘s points haul at this stage of the season. the championship restarts today and with all remaining nine rounds of matches being played behind closed doors. unlike in the premier league though, clubs will be allowed to play in live crowd sound effects, at their ground during games, to help give their teams some home advantage. the leaders leeds united are one club who this week, were considering this idea, and i was given exclusive
8:42 am
access to elland road, to see how they‘ve been preparing for the restart, as they try to rejoin football‘s elite. # elland road is the only place for us... leeds have always had one of the most passionate followings, and this season, even in the championship, the average home crowd was 35,000 before lockdown. now, with matches being staged behind closed doors, they‘ve been considering ways to keep some kind of home advantage. this week they tested the idea of having live crowd effects being played through 20 speakers by a theatre sound company, who — with no live west end shows to produce — bring their expertise from the stalls to the stands. a range of club—specific chants at theirfingertips, and the all—important big buttons for when there is a goal — green for a home one, red for away. the skills we‘ve picked up over the years from mixing west end shows live, we‘re trying to adapt them. it‘s all about creating a realistic atmosphere for players on the pitch. we‘re trying to bring back the home advantage.
8:43 am
this is the first time that the players have experienced an 11 versus 11 training match with the sound here at elland road played out through loudspeakers and played in live, so it‘s reacting to what‘s happening on the pitch — a crescendo, because they almost got a corner. i‘ve been in a position before where i‘ve played behind closed doors in an international game, so from a match perspective, you know, it gives me a taste. i know what it‘s sort of like. but in terms of the crowd noises, no, it‘s a bit strange. i think it had to be turned down a bit for the manager to speak. we‘ll see if the players like it. while leeds remained to be convinced by the idea, queens park rangers will use the theatre company to pipe in crowd effects at their home match against barnsley today, and others of the championship clubs will be using their own staff to pump in crowd noise. at leeds, the fans will also have a massive visual presence.
8:44 am
15,000 so—called crowdies, cardboard cutouts, like the ones being made for brighton, will be in place for leeds by their first home game next week — part of the package for season ticket holders who had not asked for a refund. we‘re claiming 15,000 as a world record until we‘re told otherwise. it‘s also important to give our supporters a chance to leave their money with the club, so we had several million pounds worth of refunds that we had to give to season ticket holders who couldn‘t be at the game. and as we expected, leeds supporters have been fantastic in trying to keep their money in the club, keep us solvent through this period, but also have an opportunity to show their support and show that they‘re still here in soul, if not in body. the daily routine here may have changed. physio sessions may look strange, the changing area is in a tunnel at the moment, plus there‘s all the testing at the ground and at home. but the club‘s medical team says the players are as fit as they were before lockdown. we actually started preparing at the end of january, we saw what was coming out of china
8:45 am
so we had equipment delivered and ready. monitored every single day, gps, there was fitness work, changing direction and speed work, and actually some football work. all the players took a ball home. one of the big things we were worried about, when they come back, if they haven‘t kicked a ball for three months those actions will overload the system and lead to injury. hard training on your own, to get the motivation. but i would get it out of the way in the morning and then spend time with the family during the day. so it was tough, but now we're looking forward to it. leeds players were also the first in the country to unanimously agree on wage deferral to protect the jobs of other staff. at the start, we were in a privileged position to do something like that. if it means saving jobs and helping people, and saving the club, that was the right thing to do. they‘re united in this together, and while the fans will not be here in person, many are creating their own home advantage. stacey in bournemouth on a blue bucket, just like the one that leeds manager marcelo bielsa sits on. and there‘s ray on the isle of man, in his leeds shrine.
8:46 am
being on the bucket just brings me a little bit closer to being with the team and cheering them on. obviously not being able to get to the games and that, and hopefully this is our year. the stands may be empty, but as the team tries to get back into the premier league for the first time in 16 years, they won‘t feel alone. yeah! i wonder if stacey will be on herbucket for long when leeds play cardiff. i suppose that is cinematic of all the fans watching from their living rooms or kitchens over the next nine matches. as for the idea of playing in live crowd effects, some may like it, others feel it is distracting. the efl told me last night they will consult all the championship clubs about it next week. you have got to imagine the challenge of being the person responsible for mixing in all the different sounds, having a cheer. that is a spot on point, that is why
8:47 am
i suppose having a theatre company with west end experience used to directing live shows will help but a lot of cops will not be able to afford that. —— clubs. i dislike canned laughter on 70s sitcoms. -- it is sitcoms. —— it is like. sometimes it got rather annoying, rather distracting. here‘s louise with a look at this morning‘s weather. it has been a beautiful morning in many places although a bit misty in avebury we heard this morning for the solstice. it was a little bit, but if i had sound effects i would get a, isn‘t that beautiful! this is a live shot for north yorkshire, sent in about half an hour ago. picture postcard. it is eastern england that has the best of the weather at the moment. a little bit of shower cloud into the
8:48 am
south—west, cloud thick enough for some coastal mist and fog likely to linger and enjoy the sunshine in northern ireland because this is what is heading in your direction. there is a weather front that is going to bring some rain by the end of the day across the northern ireland and west of scotland, head had a bit some isolated showers. if you catch one of them, it could be quite sharp. top tablatures of around 22 degrees, cool it with that cloud and fog lingers in the northern isles but generally speaking the rain arrives through the night tonight. some of it quite heavy for a time, there will be some places along the west facing coast that will get around an inch of rain fall for eight easy‘s through. it will be moving its way into scotland and eastern england by dawn tomorrow morning. not quite a nippy start. tomorrow morning, wet and rather breezy first thing but it is not expected to last. a purchase through quite quickly, they wind direction coming from the west or a
8:49 am
south—westerly, and that drives that rain through. then behind it there will be some sunshine across and wales were just a few isolated showers, more frequent showers through northern ireland, scotland and perhaps northern england. top temperatures, well, they are going to be just temperatures, well, they are going to bejust dipping down temperatures, well, they are going to be just dipping down when you factor in the strength of the winds. gas in excess of miles per hour. highs of 14—17 in the north. —— gusts. we keep those into monday. elsewhere, there will be more cloud certainly through wales and south—west england, the rest of the drier sunnier moments look likely to be across eastern england with highs of 23 or 24 degrees. that is the beginning of this warmer air that arrives. there is high pressure nudging it‘s way further north across from that new continent, it is pushing that front out of at the same time it is dragging the air up from the mediterranean. a pretty warm source source at this time of
8:50 am
year and those orange tones denoting that one. by the end of the week, we could see low 30s across some areas. that may be too hot for some, easy just a touch into next weekend. thank you very much indeed. you have been following the story of tony during his sponsored walk as well? i have, i need to get out of here and go and sponsor him as well. well done. we‘ve been following the story of five—year—old tony hudgell, who has been hoping to raise £500 pounds for the hospital that saved his life when he was a baby. tony is doing a 10 kilometere walking challenge — and it is a real challenge for him — because he has two prosthetic legs. he suffered very badly treatment
8:51 am
from his biological parents early in his life. well, earlier this morning he reached an amazing milestone target of £5000,000 but in just 2 hours that has gone up again and he‘s now raised more than £650,000. look at the numbers in the purple disc, that is the percentage over his original estimate. if you paid £500 that would have been fantastic, well done tony, well done to your mum and dad, absolutely brilliant. well done to all of you at home, so thank you so much. many non—essential shops have re—opened across england this week and life is starting to feel a bit more normal. but for others who are shielding, everything is still on hold.
8:52 am
some people with medical conditions, both old and young, are still following strict advice, including social distancing inside their own houses. jo makel has been speaking to two young people who are continuing to stay at home. # monday i have nothing to do # monday i have nothing to do # tuesday i have nothing to do... #. going shopping, meeting friends, playing sport are all a long way off for some. lexi who is 13 and tom who is 19 are shielding. lexi‘s little brother henry is vulnerable. we cannot go to the shop and we are stuck in the house. we are only allowed to leave to what the dog, we have to go early in the morning. and tom has cystic fibrosis and related diabetes. like many university students, as lockdown started, he came home. but even that has restrictions. i have to socially distance from my family as well,
8:53 am
thatis distance from my family as well, that isjust so strange. you come down, your mum or your dad or at the sink getting a drink and you have to stand two metres away wait for them to leave. i had a bit of school, i have been doing loads of craft. some of my friends from primary school, we went on zoom and we made a brownie the first week then victoria sponge last week. now their friends are out and about it is harder. before nobody was allowed to go out so you didn't really feel like you being extremely vulnerable was really anything out of the ordinary, but now people are able to go and meet up in groups of six socially distanced and you are still stuck at home, that does make it more difficult as well. it is nice being with your family but it is getting a bit boring now, i want to go back to school and see everybody. the fact that i am able to speak to my friends through social media and stuff, that massively helps. you are able to keep in contact but it is
8:54 am
not the same. i would like to know how long it is going to last. hopefully, at some point, may be seen, things will start changing. brilliant to hear from brilliant to hearfrom both brilliant to hear from both of them, eve ryo ne brilliant to hear from both of them, everyone has their own individual challenges to deal with. now this is a lovely story... lockdown has meant 102—year—old dolly bugg has been shielding since march and can‘t get to her local library in ipswich. she had been hoping to get a copy of a book from 1927, that her father had recommended to her, but had nojoy. well, amazingly, staff managed to find it and although dolly can‘t read the book herself, because it‘s so rare and delicate — librarians have been recording chapters on a cd and sending them to her. we‘ll speak to the librarian and dolly herself in a moment
8:55 am
but first let‘s hear an extract from one of their recordings... chapter one, penthouse. halfa chapter one, penthouse. half a mile above the village of which perry, the convex windows of the low story of penn house returned the lurid reflects of a sun sinking to extinction among the mountains of wales. and surveyed with the dispassionate indolence of age, the darkening expanses of the seven plane 400 feet below. we can now talk to dolly bugg on the phone, and charmain osborne and angela oakey—jones from the library we will come to you guys in a moment but first of all, let‘s talk to dolly. what did you think when you received this audiobook, a book that you had always wanted?” received this audiobook, a book that you had always wanted? ijust couldn‘t believe it! my dad who was
8:56 am
a great reader, he recommended that andi a great reader, he recommended that and i can‘t remember whether i read it in my youth or not. is it good? the librarian rang me on the 26th of may, so she was talking to different members who belong to the library when we were in lockdown, so we couldn‘t get in touch. we had a conversation, talking about books as we would, and i mentioned about my dad telling me. i said we would, and i mentioned about my dad telling me. isaid i remember the first book you recommended to me and that was it. and that was it. i looked at it on google but it was out of circulation. so she said,
8:57 am
thatis out of circulation. so she said, that is interesting. leave it with me and we will see what we can do. then some weeks later injune, she said we have located the book, it‘s got over 800 pages in it. let me speak to charmaine and angela, a big old book. congratulations on even doing this. how did you find it and how it been recording it? we found it from an internet search and we have been recording it on our phones and things and then transferring it toacd and things and then transferring it to a cd with the help of one of the members of staff's has been. it is a long job, it is going to take us a little while but it is something we really wa nt little while but it is something we really want to do for her. it is beautifully red. thank you, that is just the first book. there are a
8:58 am
numberof just the first book. there are a number of different people, husbands as well, who have volunteered to read books so it is a bit of variety. well done to both of you. dolly, has it been worth the wait? is the book good? i have listened to the first four discs i now i have another tape they said yesterday. if my dad recommended it, it will be good. that is lovely, it is great to hear there is a happy ending to this. i wonder what your dad would have made of that, in 2020 you‘d be getting an audiobook. due to the librarians. that‘s all from us for today — we‘re back tomorrow from six o‘clock. join us then. goodbye.
9:00 am
