hello if you're watching in the uk or around the world. stay with us for the latest news and analysis from here and across the globe. the number of confirmed coronavirus infections worldwide has climbed above 9 million. the world health organisation says cases are peaking simultaneously in several large, heavily—populated countries. nearly half a million people have died. in the united states, the latest official figure is 120,000 deaths. more americans have now died from coronavirus than were killed in the first world war. but in new york, not long ago the global centre of infections, life is starting to emerge from lockdown. this report from our north america correspondent nick bryant. in the midst of this viral onslaught, new york has taken on a different character.

its state of mind has been anxious and fretful. a city of the outspoken and rambunctious has been muted, behind protective masks. this morning, new york took its biggest step yet towards reopening, but it was farfrom being a stampede. though offices were allowed to welcome back staff, the quietness of this covid rush hour suggested many still are working from home. this was times square during the big apple lockdown, and this was the scene today — new yorkers still clearly uneasy about gathering at the so—called "crossroads of the world". people are still nervous, u nfortu nately. we still see a death toll around the country, and until that drops considerably, i think people will continue to be nervous. new york recovers like that, so it's just a matter of time. retail was allowed to reopen this morning, but many shops are still shuttered from the racial protests, that have also had a paralysing effect.

new york is america's beating heart — the capital of its banking, retail, culture and tourism. getting this city reopen again is the key to reviving the us economy. so this — commercially, at least — may well be a concern. the shots we took of wall street before this partial reopening were almost the same as the shots we took today. there are signs of economic life. restaurants are now allowed to serve food at outdoor tables, although social—distancing regulations mean that street cafes now come with the trappings of a crime scene. we could never have gotten here if people had not done so much hard work, so consistently. and it took immense discipline and strength for new yorkers to get us here. states such as florida, that lifted their restrictions early, are now paying a price. the sunshine state has become a covid hotspot. and south carolina, too, has been setting single—day records for new cases.

america, nationwide, hasjust reported its highest number of infections since early may. the cloud of coronavirus is proving hard to escape, and it will be many more months before we see cities like new york in their fullness once again. nick bryant, bbc news, manhattan. south korean health officials have said for the first time they believe they are seeinging a second wave of coronavirus infections. south korea has been a success story when it comes to keeping case numbers and deaths low, but now says it expects the pandemic to continue for months. reged ahmad reports. south koreans enjoying a long weekend in may as relaxed social distancing rules came into effect. now, health officials think this could have been around the start of a second wave of coronavirus infections. translation: in the metropolitan area, we believe that was from march to april, february to march. it's been on the decline for a while and then we see

the second wave that was triggered by the main holidays has going on. it does mark a shift. previously, health authorities said that the first wave had never really ended. there was a worrying warning for those who might‘ve predicted the warmer weather would help. translation: ourforecasts that the coronavirus infection would decline in summer turned out to be wrong. as long as people are having close contact with others, we believe that infections will continue. some of south korea's more recent outbreaks have centred around bars and nightclubs in the capital. while parts from the country are our reintroducing stricter social distancing measures, as new clusters of cases are identified. but south korea's approaches to the virus are still one of the most successful. it has managed to avoid locking down the country,

instead relying on aggressive trace, test and treat strategies. its case numbers and death rates remain very low when compared to the outbreaks of some the worst affected nations. my understanding is that the vast majority of cases being detected are linked to existing clusters and south korean authorities still have great visibility over where the virus is. countrywide, south korea has reported its lowest numbers of infections in nearly a month, and the world health organisation says it's still on track with its efforts to control the spread of covid—i9. but this new wave will keep authorities alert as they try and stamp out the disease. let's get some of the day's other news. britain's prime minister, borisjohnson, is tomorrow expected to announce changes to the 2m social distancing rule in england. it's thought the move will be timed to coincide with a further reopening of businesses including pubs, bars a nd restau ra nts early next month. the british government's

announced that the 2.2 million vulnerable people, who have been self—isolating in england during the coronavirus pandemic, will no longer need to shield from august. in two weeks' time they will be able to meet up to five other people outdoors and form so—called "support bubbles" with other households. cinemas, swimming pools and holiday centres have reopened in france in the latest stage of the easing of coronavirus restrictions there. children up to the age of 15 have gone back to school again. the schools had already been opened for a few weeks but only on a voluntary basis. latin america and the caribbean has now surpassed 2 million coronavirus cases, with brazil home to more than half of the infections. while the problem in brazil is well known, just off its coast, the return of tourists to the caribbean threatens a surge in cases there. on the ist ofjune, the us virgin islands started to welcome back leisure travellers. its managed to keep coronavirus numbers low with just 72 cases of covid—i9, and 6 related deaths. the bahamas has just 103 confirmed cases and suffered ii

deaths, and has started reopening businesses. however, international commercial travel won't resume untiljuly ist. we can speak now to dr nina shapiro, a professor of medicine at ucla in los angeles. thank you very much for your time. how would you characterise the picture generally, in the caribbean?” think for very large parts of the caribbean, they have really done an excellentjob of keeping the number of cases quite slow. as you mentioned, the us virgin islands had about 70 or so cases. now they are down to about six. the bahamas is down to i20 down to about six. the bahamas is down to 120 cases. so they have really done an excellent job. the concern is in some of the other islands, the dominican republic, porto rico and haiti, and haiti is actually attached to the dominican republic, they are still seeing a surge of cases on the order of 5000 to 10,000, and that will likely continue. but the smaller islands in the corinthian, especially the us

virgin islands, have really done an excellentjob of keeping the case number is quite low. i guess haiti is a particular problem because there is so much poverty, healthcare there was pretty rough before any kind of virus it? exactly. haiti is really going to have a tough time. a lot of haitians are in the dominican republic and they are going back to haiti, so there isa going back to haiti, so there is a lot of back and forth 22 places. there is an extreme amount of poverty. they are all still recovering from some of the recent hurricanes over the past few years. so they have really suffered from healthcare standpoint already. so, if these numbers continue to rise, in the dominican republic and haiti, they are in for a very tough time in the months ahead. how do you think it is looking under going to look in brazil, peru and bolivia, all seeing pretty large spikes? yeah, daryl seeing large spikes, and i think some of the problem is that these countries also have challenges with healthcare, there are also some challenges with the administration listening to the guidelines

that the healthcare authorities are making. and because these countries are attached there is a lot of movement. and there is also a significant amount of healthcare disparity to begin with. so i think a lot of these countries are going to have a tough time as the numbers continue to rise. many of the caribbean islands depend largely on tourism. it is going to be very tricky to persuade tourists and their money to come back, isn't it? well, you know, you might be surprised. a lot of tourists are itching to move around the country, especially those in the north—east and the south—east. tourism, a lot of tourists are quite eager to start moving. and i think that the cruise lines are not going to be open until mid september, which is really the peak of hurricane season, but there are already flights going down to the virgin islands and people are getting screened when they arrive. some of the other islands, for instance, the bahamas, people are actually required to be tested for covid—19 prior to or on arrival. so they are really

trying to contain —— maintained the tourism, but i think a lot of tourists are actually quite eager to go to that beautiful, remote island up to these past few months. professor shapiro, thank you so much. thanks for having me. and thanks to you for being with us. stay with us, if you can. still to come: saudi arabia says this year's hajj pilgrimage will go ahead, but will be limited to people already living in the country. members of the neo—nazi resistance movement stormed the world trade center armed with pistols and shotguns. we believe that, according to international law, that we have a rightful claim in certain parts of this country as our land. i take pride in the words "ich bin ein berliner." cheering as the uk woke up to the news that it is to exit the european union, leave campaigners began celebrating. in total, 17.4 million people voted for the uk

of the empire windrush arriving at tilbury docks in england, carrying immigrants from the caribbean on board, the head of a new group addressing the challenges faced by the windrush generation and their families has urged those affected to claim compensation. the group's been set up after people from the commonwealth were told wrongly they were in the uk illegally, some were left destitute, others were deported. and the government has been criticised for being too slow in settling claims. our community affairs correspondent, rianna croxford has more. meet denzil, sheriann and danny — brothers and a sister caught up in the windrush scandal, whose lives were left in limbo, as they struggled with their immigration status. it's mad. it's absolute madness that we are still fighting for this, in 2020, we're still fighting for certain rights, as people that were brought here in 1956, in the 1930s. you know, it gets you paranoid. you always go and look over your shoulders every time you see a white van, you just go... you know? like you're a criminal. you just go and try to run.

you can't go to school, you can't go out with your friends, you can't travel. i lost 12 years of my life. your whole teenage life. the whole teenage life. i never had the fun of doing nothing. i couldn't afford to get id, nothing. i couldn't even act like a teenager. so, yeah, it messed with my mental state. it took their father, pletus — a successful musician, pictured here in the middle — 62 years to have his citizenship confirmed after he came to britain from st lucia in 1956. newsreel: the empire windrush brings to britain 500 jamaicans... he was one of thousands of commonwealth citizens from the windrush generation who, unable to provide original documentation, were wrongly treated as illegal immigrants, risked deportation and were denied rights to health care and benefits. pletus' family have just filed their claim for compensation but, two years on, since the scheme launched, critics say there's been little progress. so far, 1,275 claims have been made, but only 60 people have received payment.

between them, they've been given just over £360,000. this is the man now leading a new government group to tackle the challenges still faced by this generation and their families. we cannot afford for this to fail. too much blood has been spilt by many for this country. so, therefore, they're not granting us a favour — it's an inherent right. there's now a third generation of pletus' family who are british citizens, but sherryanne, denzil and danny say no amount of money can give them back the years they were robbed. rianna croxford, bbc news. moments of silence have been observed and flowers laid in tribute to the three friends

there are still hardly any flights, and airports are empty, shops shuttered, planes parked up outside the terminal, but travel is starting up again. andrea and rob have been home—schooling their children. as soon as they heard it was possible to get to spain, they jumped at the chance. when did you make the decision to go? this weekend. they laugh so, it was all very short notice, last—minute. but, erm, yeah, we thought, why not? the flight, one of the first to spain, was only 20% full. on board, everyone has to stay seated. if you need the toilet, you have to call the cabin attendant. so, this is now how you have to fly. i've already had my facemask on for about half an hour and i've got to keep it on for the rest of the flight, another two hours. but i can tell you, it's really already getting quite uncomfortable under here. and arriving in spain, things have changed too. everyone has temperatures taken

and has to give contact—tracing details, in case a covid case is found among the passengers. flying is certainly less comfortable than before. it, er, makes you sweat, and... yeah. but this is the new norm for a bit, isn't it? so, spain does look alluring. the beaches are open, but a visit isn't simple. social—distancing rules apply even here. many hotels are still closed, and the uk is still enforcing quarantine for all who return. damian grammaticas, bbc news, alicante. a team of archaeologists has discovered a major new prehistoric monument just a short distance away from stonehenge. it was unknown until now. fieldwork has revealed 20 or more massive shafts, excavated more than 11,500 years ago. jon kay reports. it's one of the world's most famous sights, yet so much about stonehenge remains a mystery. but are we finally getting closer to understanding?

it's this site, two miles away, that archaeologists have been examining, an area known as durrington walls. using ground—penetrating radar, they've been able to look deep into the earth and discovered what could be one of the uk's largest prehistoric sites. a ring of around 20 shafts, dug more than 4,000 years ago, around the time stonehenge was built nearby. these are 20—metre diameter, at least 5—metre deep, sometimes even deeper, we think, shafts or pits that have been dug into the chalk and are oriented in kind of an arc, both to the south and the north of durrington walls. the orientation of them, the spacing of them, would suggest that they have some organised sort of ritualistic reason for being there. the task for historians now is to work out how the newly

discovered outer ring of pits is connected to stonehenge itself. the national trust has described the find as "astonishing". what further secrets will it now reveal? jon kay, bbc news, salisbury plain. many of us had great visions for great things we could do during lockdown but many of us spent time watching television. and in the uk, that's meant a huge boost in viewership for talking pictures. it's a tiny station run by a father and daughter that airs old, mostly forgotten black—and—white films. it turns out millions are tuning in, as david sillito reports. take a trip down memory lane with talking pictures, a trip down memory lane of british tv. it's sort of escapism. it's like a it's sort of escapism. it's likea warm, it's sort of escapism. it's like a warm, comfort blanket of

nostalgia. talking pictures tv, a reminder of black britain, based on 1—man‘s collection of films that other broadcasters had given up on. i have always had given up on. i have always had an interest in british films and obscure british films at that. we started to buy these libraries of films, no—one else wanted to take them on. i remember going to a quite large satellite company and was told that we do not run black—and—white after apm. told that we do not run black-and-white after 4pm. this is stuff no—one else wanted? yeah. this fish market has been here for over 1000 years. its audience has been rising. nearly 6 million at the peak of the lockdown. not bad very little family business. and all

of this is run from here, a little office in the garden. hello, talking pictures. and hq with two desks, one for noel and one for sarah. could you describe your audience? charming. the really lovely. very vocal. they phone up co nsta ntly. very vocal. they phone up constantly. you need to speak to niell, my darling. i love the feel that they can ring us up the feel that they can ring us up in the projectionist box with me and dad. i don't think there are many channels that have that kind of rapport or relationship with their viewers. david sillito, bbc news, hertfordshire. fantastic fa ntastic stuff, fantastic stuff, talking pictures, a father and daughter

station. plenty more on the website. thank you for watching. hello there, i'm sure it's not going to be to everyone's liking, but this week, it is going to be turning hotter and more humid across many parts of the country. and for the first time this year, the temperature is likely to reach 30 degrees plus. now on monday, the highest temperature was at heathrow airport and in cambridgeshire with temperatures of 2a degrees. and that was with a south—westerly wind with lower pressure and weather fronts bringing some rain towards the north—west. higher pressure bringing the sunshine towards the south—east of the uk. now, as the position of the high pressure changes and as it moves northwards into scandinavia, so will change the wind direction and we are going to draw in all the heat and humidity from continental europe. temperatures rising by day and perhaps by night as well.

quite warm first thing actually on tuesday morning. a little bit cooler perhaps towards the far south—east of england and across the highlands in scotland. but tomorrow looks like being quite cloudy again across scotland and northern ireland. there's still some more rain to come, although it won't be as windy, it will be drier and brighter in eastern scotland too. some early cloud for wales and the north—west of england but more in the way of sunshine here, lots of sunshine for england and wales, those temperatures continuing to rise. 27—28 degrees south—east england, the midlands, east anglia, and lincolnshire. that high pressure is going to be more dominant around the middle part of the week. building across this weather front, it tends to weaken it all the while. so, on wednesday, there may well still be some cloud and some outbreaks of rain left for scotland and northern ireland but it should tend to peter out. the cloud thins and breaks and we should get more sunshine. the sunnier skies continue for england and wales where the winds are still light, and those temperatures are continuing to rise. perhaps making the low 20s in the south—east of scotland, 30—31 degrees is likely through the midlands and the south—east of england by this stage. and another hot day to come

on thursday with light wind. watch out for a few showers, it could be heavy and thundery towards the north—west of the uk. otherwise, it's going to be dry with light winds again and it is warming up. we are missing the extreme heat in northern ireland, mid—20s through the central belt of scotland. 31 or 32 in the south—east of england. that's 90 fahrenheit. it's an uncertain breakdown towards the end of the week. we're likely to find some heavy thundery showers coming in from the west on friday before we're into atlantic air on saturday, and it will feel cooler and fresher again.

this is bbc news, the headlines: in new york shops and cafes have begun reopening as the city emerges from the lockdown. but public transport and streets were relatively empty on monday as many companies kept workers home. more than 21,000 new yorkers have died since the outbreak began. south korean health officials have, for the first time, said they believe country is experiencing a second wave of coronavirus infections. south korea has been a success story when it comes to keeping case numbers and deaths low, but now says it expects the pandemic to continue for months. britain's prime minister, borisjohnson, is tomorrow expected to announce changes to the 2—metre social distancing rule in england. it's thought the move will be timed to coincide with a further reopening of businesses including pubs, bars a nd restau ra nts early next month.
