"true gentlemen" — the three men stabbed to death in a reading park are remembered at a vigil. burnley football club says it's ashamed and embarrassed after a banner with the message "white lives matter burnley" was flown during its match with manchester city. and germany's coronavirus reproduction numberjumps after more than a thousand people working at a slaughterhouse test positive. going to the cinema, a restaurant and a pub could soon be possible again in england as part of the government's easing of the lockdown. borisjohnson is expected to announce that the two—metre social distancing rule will be reduced so more places can open and be financially viable. sector—by—sector guidance is going to be published on how

businesses like hairdressers and hotels can reopen in a covid—secure way. art galleries and museums will also be allowed to open up with measures like one—way systems put in place. and customers at pubs and bars may have to sign guest books, so that they could be traced if they come into contact with someone who is infected. the changes are due to take affect from july 4th — with details expected to be announced by the prime minister at 12:30 today. there are currently no plans for similar changes in scotland and wales, while in northern ireland the social—distance measure has been cut for schoolchildren. our political correspondent iain watson reports. borisjohnson is set to announce that two will become one. the guidance to stay two metres apart where possible is likely to be halved — in england. borisjohnson will brief the cabinet on the results of a rapid review into the two metres guidance, and is expected to tell them it will change by the july the 4th, the day that further

restrictions will be eased. the prime minister has been under pressure from the hospitality industry and many of his own mps to change the social distancing rules amid fears that some businesses would otherwise be unviable. so from early next month, england will feel very different. pubs and restaurants reopening, along with cinemas, galleries and museums — and if you're planning a staycation, well, hotels and bed and breakfasts will be allowed to put up their vacancy sign. but businesses and entertainment venues will only be allowed to open if they're covid secure. so as we see in supermarkets now, in some settings there could be screens if you're likely to come close to staff. we'll probably have to follow one—way systems, and some buildings will also have to improve ventilation. and we'll have to learn from continental countries, which have already relaxed their rules. we may have to get more used to table service when we go out for a drink. hairdressers and barbers may also be allowed to open next month, but don't expect too close a shave.

when borisjohnson addresses mps in the house of commons this afternoon, he'll make it very clear that if businesses and the rest of us don't follow the new social distancing guidelines, then the easing of restrictions will be reversed. everything won't suddenly go back to normal injuly, but we may find out what the new normal feels like. large parts of the economy will come to life — but not quite as we once knew it. iain watson, bbc news. let's talk to norman. send more freedoms on their way in england? big changes, and it's not quite the end of the logjam, the beginning of the end of the lockdown, because pretty much all areas of the economy and society will be open again, with the exception primarily of large public venues like sport stadiums, concert halls, nightclubs, those sorts of things stay closed. there will be some individual areas where there

are particular difficulties. theatres, i think, are particular difficulties. theatres, ithink, are are particular difficulties. theatres, i think, are an issue, not quite show why, because sinners are being allowed to reopen, maybe theatres are older building so perhaps not so easy to ventilate. we will get the details later today, which will be sent to pubs, clubs, restau ra nts, which will be sent to pubs, clubs, restaurants, museums, libraries, everyone, telling them what they are expected to do, and the question is how do we behave? do we suddenly think it is party time and forget about all social distancing? if that is the case, the government is pretty clear that lockdown is coming back. however, if we get into the mindset of having to keep some sort of distance, much more wiring of facemasks, much less spontaneity, we will have to make reservations, book in advance, generally less socialisation, i presume there will be controlled numbers in venues and i willjust had to be a greater awareness i think about how we

conduct ourselves, but the venues too will have to put in place new restrictions, so in restaurants you will find we will have disposable menus, disposable tablecloths, much more use of hand gels, there will not be any standing around, buffets, you can forget about that, will not be helping ourselves. there will be an obligation on the venues too and able get clarity about what they have to do probably from tonight. the northern ireland secretary brandon lewis today stressed there will be a heavy obligation on them to make sure the premises are virus micro—site. to make sure the premises are virus micro-site. one thing i know is that one thing our pubs and restaurants across the uk are very alert to, very aware of and focused on is the safety of customers. we will be giving some guidelines, if we make these decisions later today guidelines will come through for businesses to know how they can work, how they can function and what is expected of them to provide a

safe and healthy environment for all their customers and, importantly, for their staff. if two metres becomes one metre, the announcement today, from july the 4th, why can't children go back to school from july the 4th? because they had a cap on class sizes, they are not restricted by the two metre rule, it is the class size cap that is the problem, which is currently 15. independent of whatever distance children have to socially distance from each other, it is by and large accepted that primary schoolchildren will not socially distance, however that you try to drum it into them, so we have a class size cap of 15. the government is looking at increasing that potentially back up to 30, which would enable schools to get all their children back in without having to put in portakabin classrooms and requisition libraries and so on and so forth. it will

still depend on parents having confidence that their children are safe, but we had seen in other countries where they have got all the kids back, there had not been outbreaks of coronavirus in schools, soi outbreaks of coronavirus in schools, so i think the hope is that parents will look across the channel, see pretty much every other country getting around to doing this, i think france put all their kids back yesterday, and will think we can do the same, we can increase class sizes too. thank you very much, norman. chris says the chances of meeting someone with a virus is one in 1700 now, we can't live in fear, other diseases are not being diagnosed or treated. nancy says how can our children's education be bottom of the pile? they can open every other business but not schooling for all? kevin says if i thought these decisions were being made based on a scientific assessment of risk and safety, fine, i think they are being made to make

mrjohnson look like a bountiful benefactor and regardless of what happens next, he should be held to account for thousands of avoidable deaths. tan says i want to visit my friends and family in their home or mine, not to go to the cinema or pub. mike says everyone has their own journey out of lockdown, all circumstances are different, all risk assessments are different, this is simply another potential route to normality. you are very welcome to get in touch, send me a message on twitter or an e—mail. hotels and b&bs are likely to reopen from july 4th, but what about campsites? sean farrington is at a campsite near shrewsbury this morning. good morning, iam good morning, i am at a caravan camping sites in shropshire and it could be after this announcement today that the only thing this side could open would be self—contained glamping lodges for posh campers,

all the shared facilities are not needed if you are staying here. you can look at these aerial photos, starting off where we are now, looking out over the whole site you can see the caravan dealership right next to it, the caravans that would be in use, the shared facilities of the pool, of the toilet blocks, the hot tubs, all of those could come into question if the social distancing rules are changed but shared facilities are still maybe not allowed. we have ros this morning, you are part of a trade body who has written to the government, 1.7 million members you had, concerned about what might happen, what do you need from the government for your members to be sustainable? clarity, and for our campers, people with touring ca rava ns campers, people with touring caravans and motorhomes who need to use shared facilities. we know they are safe, i have been working with government on the guidance and i got it out with their encouragement more

than a fortnight ago, we have done oui’ than a fortnight ago, we have done our virus maggot security procedures, we are we “— our virus maggot security procedures, we are we —— we are ready, we need the government to give us the green light. you have written a letter, you have concerns, what you think might be preventing place with shared facilities being on the opening list from july the 4th? it broke in the press at the weekend that they are worried about shared facilities, but we used shared facilities, but we used shared facilities, but we used shared facilities because we had to stop on the way here on the motorway. some camping parks have been open through the lockdown with key workers using shared facilities throughout, we know it is safe, we understand the government is concerned that they cannot leave the most affordable form of holiday making behind as they open up tourism. have you seen other businesses go under, be on the brink, the make or break in the coming weeks? we have businesses on the edge now, we are really worried about small businesses, they have had no money since lockdown, they still have ongoing costs, we have

lost half the season already, we need to get the summer back. thank you, ros, we will see what the announcement comes up with today and that will make a difference to what people can do. mark has been hosting us, he owns and runs the whole holiday park. a customer today and says what will be the difference, i know you have glamping lodges that you have pools, playgrounds and hot tubs? we are pretty sure with a good wind we can get all the accommodation open, we are really worried about the facilities, the pool worried about the facilities, the pool, the hot chips, the wash block, we just pool, the hot chips, the wash block, wejust don't pool, the hot chips, the wash block, we just don't know. in terms of the business almost behind—the—scenes, the workers you have, the investment you put in, what is on the line for you? ultimately jobs, we have to get back open to get money through the tills. in terms of the facilities available here now, do you think that with one metre social

distancing, if that's consented a you could be fully up and running and fully within guidelines? we're pretty sure we can do it in one metre, but we definitely have fresh airand metre, but we definitely have fresh air and these views, we are guaranteed for that, as much as we wa nt guaranteed for that, as much as we want everything to open, the government have a job to do and we will work with them to do everything we can. for you, how has it been? a girl likea we can. for you, how has it been? a girl like a roller—coaster, it is difficult to read the business go forward , difficult to read the business go forward, staff asking what you will do,, they are worried aboutjobs but you just do your best and get on and we will get through it. good luck with the announcement today, it feels like i will be wishing lots of people that, it is make or break. is any good midlander knows, a bit of a holiday with the reeking in the background, you cannot beat that. tributes have been paid to three men who were stabbed to death in a park in reading on saturday. james furlong, joe ritchie—bennett and david wails have been described as true gentleman as they were remembered during a vigil at a local pub where they regularly met.

0ur correspondentjohn mcmanus sent us the latest from reading. the tributes we're hearing to the three men who died on saturday's terror attack are giving us an insight into how well—respected they how much theirfriends insight into how well—respected they how much their friends valued then, how much their friends valued then, how much their family love them. we are hearing quite a lot about the lives they were living as well. the final victim to be named was david wails, a friend of his said david was the kind of guy who liked to go down the purple engage in banter with friends, make others laugh and he always had a smile on his face, somebody who would be very sorely missed. the american victim, joe ritchie—bennett, had come from philadelphia to the uk 15 years ago, he had been making a living for himself in a company at the pharmaceutical industry in writing that his brother spoke about what his childhood was like when they used to mess about on bikes and help

each other with paper rents, he said the family are naturally heartbroken and his brother did not deserve to die that way. and james furlong, 36—year—old teacher educated in liverpool, he ended up working at a school in wokingham not far from here. the school held its tribute yesterday and peoples penned an open letter talking about how deeply valued he was as a teacher and a mentor. all three men drank at the blagrave arms, a pub not farfrom here, locals came out there yesterday to show support and reflect on their loss. there were speeches and music, they were remembering three friends. police have now been given until saturday to continue questioning the suspect, khairi saadallah, they say they are keeping an open mind as to any possible motive for the attack but say they are not looking for anybody else. the vicejohn mcmanus reporting. burnley have issued an unreserved apology and say they're ashamed

and embarrassed after a banner with the message "white lives matter burnley" was flown over the etihad stadium during their game with manchester city last night. the plane circled over the stadium just after kick—off. players and staff from both sides had taken a knee in support of the black lives matter movement. burnley say they'll ban anyone found to have been involved. burnley captain ben mee said those behind the banner have no place in the club. here's what he said to 5 live: sure, it made a big impact on our players. we, as a group of players, condemn it. we are ashamed. we are embarrassed. it completely misses the point of what we're trying to achieve as, you know, as a football community, as a group, and as a group of players, we're really ashamed, it is a minority of our supporters and i speakfor the main part of our supporters, we absolutely distance ourselves from any sort of thing like that.

it's a real shame to see it and it definitely had a massive impact on us to see that in the sky. we will talk more about that at 10:30am with the head of the anti—discrimination charity ticket out. the headmaster of eton college has told the bbc he is appalled by the racism experienced by the first black person to complete his studies at the prestigious british public school. nigerian writer dillibe 0nyeama obtained his school—leaving certificate from eton in 1969. he wrote a book about the racism he experienced at the school and was subsequently banned from visiting. head master simon henderson said "we have made significant strides since" but acknowledged the school still had more to do. the headlines on bbc news... borisjohnson is expected to announce that cinemas, museums, galleries and hairdressers will be able to reopen in england from the 11th ofjuly. "true gentlemen" —

the three men stabbed to death in a reading park are remembered at a vigil. burnley football club says it's ashamed and embarrassed after a banner with the message "white lives matter burnley" was flown during its match with manchester city. so how are businesses in england preparing to open? darrelljohnson runs the chapeltown taphouse and gin bar in sheffield. claire mccolgan is the director of culture for liverpool. she's heading up a pilot scheme in the city to get restaurants back on their feet as soon as possible. and to discuss what we can learn from other countries who have already eased restrictions, ricardo mexia is from the european public health association. welcome, all. darrell, assuming two metres goes to one metre in an announcement today, how do you feel about the prospect of reopening?” think we could make it work at one metre, the two metres is a no—show

for us, we would not be able to make that work at all, the one metre, we have all the other provisions in place, it was 1a weeks on friday, we are good to go. tell us what preparations you have made forjuly the 4th? we have completely redecorated, pate screen on the bar, a sanitiser as you come in, but the bigger change the customers will see asa bigger change the customers will see as a pre—booking system, you will be able to book whatever duration you wa nt to able to book whatever duration you want to be in there, that takes a little bit off if you want to have that extra drink, if your time is up u nfortu nately you that extra drink, if your time is up unfortunately you will have to leave. so you have a quota for how many people you can have, indoors and outdoors or what? if the one metre comes in, yeah, we are good to go inside as well as out, we have a small area outside so we have measured up and think we know the numbers if that one metre comes in this afternoon. we don't know yet if

you will have to take the names and details of all your customers as they can then, what do you think of that? that is the positive of the booking system, people will have to put their name and mobile number, we will have that information already on the system. ok. let's bring in claire mccolgan, director of culture in liverpool, what are you doing to help restaurants open in liverpool? it is really important in liverpool, 49% of our business rate is from the visitor economy in liverpool so it is very important we make this the city it was three months ago when we left it, we are doing a programme called without walter, giving person responsibility to buy furniture to get themselves up and running, —— without walls, giving pubs the

ability to buy furniture. we are closing two streets in the city down completely from traffic and creating areas outside where people can enjoy their food and atmosphere in the brilliant little weather. it will be gorgeous this week, that is for sure. so instead of parking bays outside these places, people can sit ta bles outside these places, people can sit tables and chairs? we are creating a different part of the restaurant outside, one of the main streets in the city, bold street, they will be sharing those spaces in a collegiate matter, they are tiny, individual and independent, we need to give them a chance to make a go of it for themselves and for the city.” them a chance to make a go of it for themselves and for the city. i know bold street very well, i spent three yea rs bold street very well, i spent three years in the city, most of it on that street! 0ther years in the city, most of it on that street! other public ready to get back into restaurants? that is the real challenge. you know how

vibrant liverpool the real challenge. you know how vibra nt liverpool is, the real challenge. you know how vibrant liverpool is, at weekends, during the week, restaurants and bars are full, we had cruise liners in three months ago, confidence has to be built by people, our message has been be kind, be patient and be considerate. when we opened shops la st considerate. when we opened shops last week, the shops are half 34 that the moment and we had to make a real effort to get people using towns and city centres again, because our economy depends on it. let's bring on ricardo, he is from the european public health association, he can let us know what we can learn from countries where love tends have been eased. the latter are number in the uk is below one, the number of new cases just under 1000, do you think the uk is ina good under 1000, do you think the uk is in a good place to start reopening the hospitality sector? —— the r number in the uk is below one. we need to look at multiple indicators to decide whether or not you can reopen, in different countries it

has been so. in the uk it is the same situation. we are facing a gradual increase in the number of activities that citizens can participate in. therefore i think they need to be evaluated on a regular basis in order to know whether we can move on to the next phase in reopening different activities. i guess that gradual it is the key. being able to monitor the abolition of the situation will surely play a big role in order to ensure a safe return to our regular lives, such as being able to do things we did before but with necessary adjustments, as was just said. in terms of monitoring, we have thousands of contact traces, we do not yet have a nap. i want to ask about germany, it has seen a spike in its r number two 2.88 over the weekend, something like 1000 workers

ata weekend, something like 1000 workers at a meat processing plant have been infected with coronavirus. germany relax looked at some time ago, what do you think is because that spike and watch it official to do now? —— germany relaxed lockdown some time ago. if we have community spread when there are significant numbers of new patients that you cannot connect to the chain of transmission, that would require more extensive measures and probably going back to some of the previous measures in place, if you can find these clusters of cases that connect ina very these clusters of cases that connect in a very specific way so you can identify those vulnerabilities and be very precise on what you do and trying to remove the risks in that setting, then there is no need to eventually to be as broad in the measures as might be... initially you might consider. you mentioned the outbreak at the meat processing

strategy, if you can address that problem specifically, the bleak we can implement the measures we have been preventing for some time now and the able to control the situation. there have been issues at meat assessing factories here in the uk, i wonder if it is something to do with social distancing in factories all the way they perhaps face each other? —— meat processing factories. the who reported it took three months to reach the first million cases of coronavirus, but the most recent million had to come injust eight the most recent million had to come in just eight days. how worrying is that? the global speed of transmission has been increasing significantly as we see the situation both in south america and africa, there have been significant numbers of cases, so that is worrying. we had seen the outbreaks

or the pandemic sweep from the eastern side to the western side, the concern is whether or not we are already facing a second way. but surely different countries are at different times in the pandemic, so we need to be able to control the situation, addressing different times, let's say, in the pandemic. and what also needs to be addressed since... it is a global world, so since... it is a global world, so since we have budgets of a significant incidence right now, we need to address travel between those countries in order to detect those cases. darrell, what kind of crowd you uk to four and do you think your customers will feel confident in coming back —— but what kind of crowd you cater to? the first one is a two metres, but as you said previously, customer confidence, we have to circuit and see, we will find that out in the first few

weeks. the demographic of our place is 40 plus, so people will be to invite own risk assessment, we have seen it now, more people are coming out but like i say it is an unknown at the moment. but when people get drunk, they will not stick to one metre apart, will they? jeremy vine yesterday said that social distancing and alcohol doesn't mix, we will just distancing and alcohol doesn't mix, we willjust have to put more staff on to address that. right. to remind people to stay apart, you mean? how much would your takings normally be each month, obviously it has been zeroed during lockdown, what have you been losing each month? with this weather, four bank holidays, i should say about 20 grand a month. so reopening can't come soon enough for you? yeah. good luck. thank you

very much darrelljohnson from sheffield, i wish you all the best. good looking liverpool, claire mccolgan, director of culture in liverpool, and thank you very much for your time as well, ricardo mexia, vice president of the european public health association. bristol bloke says i am already booked into a local restaurant at 7:45pm onjuly booked into a local restaurant at 7:45pm on july the booked into a local restaurant at 7:45pm onjuly the 4th. and he says we have been lockdown with seven family members plus four dogs. —— andy says. some others have a holiday booked starting on the 4th ofjuly, never had two groups of people, those staying in those going away, been so keen to hear what borisjohnson has to stay. nigel says it is about the money, johnson will dress it up as if he is doing a favour but it is about corporate money, he could not give a stuff about the wage slaves and the customers at the bottom. with says my kids are still off school and

playgrounds are taped off. 0ne my kids are still off school and playgrounds are taped off. one more, farouk says lockdown ended after dominic cummings breached the rules, from beaches to everyday shopping, social distancing is minimal and very few are wearing masks in public. we need hospitality to restart but i would prefer to wait until the r number. the lower. it is getting hotter, carol has the weather. hello again. for many of us, temperatures are on the rise for the next few days, as is the humidity, by day and by night. northern ireland, you probably won't see as high temperatures as everyone else. today you do have some rain in northern ireland and also scotland, whereas for england and for wales, looking at a lot of dry weather and some sunshine. and in the sunshine, in newcastle we are looking at 24, 27 in london. now, through this evening and overnight we still have the cloud and rain across northern ireland and much of scotland, but for eastern and southern scotland, england and wales we are looking at a clear night. it is going to feel quite humid. temperatures staying in double figures across—the—board.

tomorrow, we start off with our cloud and some spots of rain across northern ireland and scotland, weakening all the time. it will brighten up through the course of the day, especially in parts of the highlands, southern scotland and england and wales and, once again, we are looking at high temperatures. 26 in newcastle, 30 in birmingham, 31 in london and 22 in aberdeen.

hello, this is bbc news with victoria derbyshire. the headlines... borisjohnson is expected to announce that cinemas, museums, galleries and hairdressers will be able to reopen in england from the 4th ofjuly. a relaxation of the two metre social distancing rule in england could also allow bars, restau ra nts a nd hotels to leave lockdown. we are going to be giving some guidelines, so if we do make these decisions later on today, guidelines will come through for businesses to know how they can work, how they can function and what is expected of them. ‘true gentlemen' — the three men stabbed to death in a reading park are remembered at a vigil. burnley football club says it's ashamed and embarrassed after a banner with the message "white lives matter burnley" was flown during its match with manchester city. and germany's coronavirus reproduction numberjumps after more than a thousand people working at a slaughterhouse test positive.

sport now and time for a full round up from the bbc sport centre. here is sally nugent. victoria, good morning. burnley say they're "ashamed and embarrassed" after a banner reading "white lives matter burnley" was flown over the etihad stadium during their game with manchester city last night. the aircraft circled over the stadium just after kick—off, before which players and staff from both sides had taken a knee in support of the black lives matter movement. burnley say they'll give bans to anyone found responsible and have issued an unreserved apology. i don't know what the club will think about how they can continue to send the message out, we will do as

much as we can and we were caught in the community. i know people will look at ways in which we can play our partand look at ways in which we can play our part and support the good work. that was the reaction of the burnley manager immediately after the game. we've also been hearing reaction from the pfa this morning. we arejust in we are just in such a transformative point in the year and the game, it expands it again, and hopefully leads to more conversations and like isaid, for leads to more conversations and like i said, for everyone out there, these are uncomfortable conversations and i think everyone in society is looking at the way they've done things, things have happened in the past, the representation and asking themselves some strong questions. bubba wallace's fellow nascar drivers pushed his car to the start—line of a race in alabama, to show their support for him a day after a noose

was found in his team garage. wallace is the only full time black driver in nascar with drivers pushing his car in a show of solidarity. the incident involving the noose is being investigated by the fbi and the usjustice department. wallace was visibly moved as he got out of his car, visibly emotional as he took his place on the grid. british tennis player dan evans says novak djokovic should "feel some responsibility" after three players tested positive for covid—19 after playing at his adria tour event. djokovic is currently waiting to hear the results of his test. evans was speaking ahead of the battle of the brits event, a behind closed doors event which begins today in roehampton it's a poor example to set, i think, to be, you know, even if the guidelines in that country are not two metres, i think we should all, it's not a joke, is it? and i think we should, even if the guidelines were taken away in this country

to normal, i'd still be trying to keep myself out of the way as much as i could. still waiting to hear the results and many more tests from that event that evans was talking about but that evans was talking about but that event in roehampton, behind closed doors, obviously. distancing rules apply. we should see andy murray play his first match in many, many months, so that's one to watch out for. victoria. sally, thank you. some news breaking down, a statement from the brother of khairi saadallah, the 25—year—old being questioned in the terrorism legislation in connection with the attack in the park in reading at the weekend. this statement reads i want to express our condolences to the families of the victims that have died. wish a speedy recovery for all those injured. i would like to ask the press and the media to give me

time to grieve and respect my privacy at this difficult time. a statement from the brother of khairi saadallah, expressing his condolences to the families of the victims who died in that attack in reading on saturday. wishing a speedy recovery for all those injured. tens of thousands of people will need to be called back to hospital after a serious covid—19 infection to check whether they've been left with permanent lung damage, doctors have told the bbc. radiologists say between 20 and 30% of those hospitalised are showing signs of lung scarring or pulmonary fibrosis in early follow up scans. jim reed reports. i was coughing for a long time, you know, probably 12 weeks or something like that. and feeling very unwell. i've had pneumonia before.

but i don't think i'd been this ill before. months after a covid 19 infection, stephen wax is now well into recovery. bring your arms down. this scan is taking place at the wellington hospital in north london, the idea is to look at stephen's lungs. in this case, the news is reassuring. the follow—up scan is clear. you don't have any lasting effects in the lungs from your virus that we can visibly see. the difference is marked. all the infection is gone and there is no scarring so that's good news. the long—term impact of coronavirus on the body is still unknown. most of those with a serious infection will recover fully in time but in a significant proportion of cases, doctors are worried the damage could be longer lasting. this is a nice pace.

tony mchugh fell sick very early, at the start of march, before many were paying much attention to covid 19. he went to the doctor, not thinking it might be the cause. i didn't even speak to the doctor, he went, look at you, i'm admitting you straight away, he said you're being admitted straight away. and then it sort of clicked in that actually there something not right here. i couldn't explain what it was. we've never heard of covid 19. tony, a taxi driverfor 30 years, deteriorated quickly, spending a month in hospital, half of that in intensive care on a ventilator. he left nhs rehab in april, he still suffers from breathing difficulties two months later. my breathing is not right at all. even bending, even bending, getting something out of a lower drawer. i suppose i'm not bending properly, but i come up... therefore, it wouldn't even bother me at all.

do you accept this is going to be a long road back to recovery, this is not something you will bounce back from overnight? totally, totally. exactly right. i'm looking at the end of said september time to try and be 75% better. you know, you never know. i accept its going to be a long haul, yes. what you are looking at is two scans of lungs. that's the chest radiologist'sjob. back at the hospital we are looking at scans of tony's lungs. it will be in one area. tony had a scan for cancer five years ago so it's possible to compare his lungs then with scans taken in hospital with covid19. this is what the lung looked liked pre—covid 19. nice and normal. yes, i would call this a normal lung. here is the difference. the first scan at the hospital. the difference is stark and i think the reason it's important to show this, look at the normal lung in the

same area, during the hospital admission, it's full of white mist, instead of air, it's full of coronavirus, fluid, the inflammatory response to the virus. that is precisely why patients with coronavirus infection cannot breathe well. that ground glass pattern in the lungs is often found in series coronavirus cases. what we don't know is whether this inflammation can cause permanent damage, debris is pulmonary fibrosis or scarring of the lung tissue which can lead to severe shortness of breath, coughing and fatigue. scarring is where the lung becomes irreversibly damaged by the infection, i often describe it when i'm teaching people, if you are walking on a pavement, you graze your knee, the naval bleed. some people, the skin underneath the scalp will return to normal and the scalp will return to normal and the scalp will return to normal and the scalp will disappear but in a group of people it will leave a permanent

mark and sign of that injury. research into possible lung damage caused by covid 19 is still at a very early stage. radiologists we've spoken to say based on the first follow—up scans between 20 and 30% of people in hospital with a severe infection are showing some early signs of lung scarring. that doesn't mean all those will suffer from health problems. the difficulty, doctors say, is the size of the outbreak. i'm more worried about the sheer volume of patients that we are going to have, there's going to be a lot of x—rays to look at and a lot of anxious patients wondering, at this stage, have i cleared the virus orami this stage, have i cleared the virus oram i going this stage, have i cleared the virus or am i going to be left with some sort of permanent mark from it? we've now entered a new post covid 19 era which is going to bring its own challenges. like others who have beenin own challenges. like others who have been in hospital, tony will need further scans to check the help of his lungs. for those with scarring, there are new treatments that may

help. doctors say research is needed now to properly understand how many could be affected. let's talk now to dr sam hare from the british society of thoracic imaging. and alison cook is with this, the chairperson of the task force on lung health. what could be the long—term health implications of scarring on the lungs. it's a very important issue. as i said, we've moved to the next phase of the battle against covid 19, we know from previous coronavirus cases, saws and mirrors, 20—60% of people can end up with lung scarring, we estimate a similar proportion in coronavirus, if i discuss this in practical terms, the difference between playing in the garden with

your grandchildren and not being out of breath, previously you would be fine, now you might be out of breath, for some people talking on the telephone with a relative, they might feel breathless doing that. that would make them feel tired, what happens is the air sacs in the lungs get distorted and destroyed. it means the exchange of oxygen to the blood stream is far less effective and you get tired more easily. those examples you gave, they seem to be simply about a bit of breathlessness. could it be more extreme than that in some cases? yes, it can. 0thersymptoms, breathlessness is a very distressing symptom. if you imagine, from a doctor ‘s and patient point of view, you literally feel you and you can be constantly short of breath and you can be and it can be quite debilitating, especially when doing

normal activities like making a cup of tea but it's the other impacts, the fatigue and tiredness that results from that but also looking forward , results from that but also looking forward, what we have to do in terms of research, is this scarring that some people inevitably get, is going to progress over their lifetime or will it stay stable and we just don't know at the moment. there are some conditions which cause lung scarring which progress over time and we will only know that in the future through research we are doing. let's bring in alison, good morning. what do you think are the implications for services if we are looking at making sure that there is capacity for both existing patients and coronavirus patients? we've been talking to nhs england for a long time about the lack of capacity for people with respiratory disease. we know there are thousands of people waiting to be diagnosed and we don't have enough imaging specialists like sam and we don't have enough imaging machines either. so the fact we've

got more people waiting for this service is a problem for the nhs. 0k, service is a problem for the nhs. ok, i service is a problem for the nhs. 0k, igot service is a problem for the nhs. ok, i got a statement from the department of health who say we have provided a significant number of ct scanners, x—ray machines portable ultrasound is part of the covid 19 response on top of giving £200 million for a new state—of—the—art diagnostic machines. the nhs carried out 23 and a half million x—rays, 6 million ct scans in the last year. those are big numbers and it's welcome there is attention on this issue now but we've already got thousands of people waiting with respiratory disease and now we have the covid19 patients on top. now we've got a spotlight on this we should be able to fix this or that thousands of respiratory patients already waiting to get really accurate, fast diagnosis because it's very important, this is a frightening symptom, people need a quick diagnosis and they need to know what's wrong with them in order to get treatment. we also know the

type of treatment we should provide for people with covid19 is pulmonary rehabilitation and that's an exercise programme for the lungs and psychological support to try and keep people active and keep people using their lungs as much as possible. so they can have the best possible. so they can have the best possible quality of life and we know pulmonary rehabilitation at the moment is not provided across the country, there is a really patchy service of the fact nhs england is paying attention to this is welcome news. but there an awful lot of people waiting now and while we have beenin people waiting now and while we have been in lockdown, the number of people waiting to start treatment is increased because they cannot use the service at the moment. so we need to completely reimagine how we are delivering this service and we may need to go digital and go remote and we may make faster progress here because there are now a number of people with post covid19 symptoms who need the service as well. sure. doctor, you were working at a major london hospital through the

outbreak, i want to ask you what it was like at the peak? yes, as part of our work at the british society of our work at the british society of thoracic imaging, we knew what was going on in the country, at the peak of the pandemic we literally, even through our work environment, metaphorically, we couldn't breathe, patients were coming to the accident and emergency department, full of patients with coronavirus. ferocious way, we had never encountered before, alison ‘s point is correct. this investment in capacity and infrastructure is great, in radiology we come from a place where we are chronically under resourced and underfunded and add covid 19 on top of that and the fact we had to clea n top of that and the fact we had to clean scanners and x—ray machines to keep the environment safer patients, that's the biggest change i found. everything slowed down stop we had a vast number of patients willing hospitals but we had to scan them, and scan them in a way that allowed

us to clean machines in between because what we didn't want is to invite patients who did not have the virus from an unclean machine that had been contaminated with the virus and that basically made our work environment very, very challenging. as radiologists make the best of our resources and as alison touched on, we devise strategies, segregated areas in hospitals, clean areas, covid 19 areas, it's vital patients with lung cancer and other conditions have access to imaging. imaging is the centrepiece of diagnosis in a hospital, the hub of the hospital, you cannot make accurate and early diagnosis without imaging, that's why it is so pivotal to get this message out there. thank you both, we really appreciate your time. a message here from someone who is shielding. i am concerned about future freedoms in england. i've been shielding since march, now

i'm supposed to go back to work in august. i'm a nurse in a care home. like shields, the care homes have largely been forgotten throughout this whole thing. we are going to talk more about shielding and the anxieties that some people have about restrictions being eased at 10:15pm, we switch to bbc two at 10am, join us then about a quarter past ten. the headlines on bbc news... borisjohnson is expected to announce that cinemas, museums, galleries and hairdressers will be able to reopen in england from the 4th ofjuly. ‘true gentlemen' — the three men stabbed to death in a reading park are remembered at a vigil. burnley football club says it's ashamed and embarrassed after a banner with the message "white lives matter burnley" was flown during its match with manchester city. germany's coronavirus infection rate has jumped after more than 1,300 people working at a slaughterhouse tested positive. the coronavirus r rate has

nearly tripled in just two days to reach 2.88 — sparking fears of a second wave. 0ur correspondent damian mcguinness is in berlin — he told us more about a number of localised and serious outbreaks, including that one at a meat processing plant. the latest figures show that now there are more than 1500 employees at this one plant have been infected with coronavirus. 7,000 employees almost who work at this plant. they've now all been quarantined. and that's an incredibly serious case. officials say the reason why we're not seeing a second wave is because they've managed to keep all these localised outbreaks contained. what they've done is they've quarantined thousands of people in that particular region where the meat processing plant is but also local outbreaks such as a block of flats in gottingen and a city block of a number of buildings here in berlin

and all residents have been told not to leave their homes. in some instances they are being kept in by wire fences, so quite drastic measures. but that is really to prevent a second wave. what we are seeing overall in germany is national figures are still pretty low so more than 140 local authorities say they haven't seen any infections at all for seven days. and some parts of germany are pretty much corona free whereas other parts of germany, such as where this meat processing plant is, are really suffering from this outbreak and the challenge really is how do you keep people quarantined, how do you stop this virus spreading but also how do you avoid heavy handed behaviour because some of the people involved, some of the workers at the plant, do not want to stay quarantine so it's a very difficult situation, it's a tricky balancing act. so far, no second wave but certainly some very, very serious localised outbreaks.

latest figures from the office for national statistics show the number of deaths in england and wales when it comes to covid 19 and ahead of statistics joins me. it comes to covid 19 and ahead of statisticsjoins me. robert has been looking at the figures. give us the overall numbers. the totals are still pretty eye watering, that's not going to change but they are moving in the right direction even if they are not quite back to normal. the total number of covid 19 deaths registered in england and wales, running at just deaths registered in england and wales, running atjust under 50,000, adding all the people who have died during the outbreak, more than we would expect to see, that adds another 10,000, probably 60,000 as the death toll in the pandemic, the week on week figures are getting better and better so we've seen just under 10,000 people die in the week to the 12th of june under 10,000 people die in the week to the 12th ofjune in england and wales, below 10,000 for the first time this year, the total number of deaths when done, the total number of people dying with covid 19 going down, this excess mortality, the

above and beyond what we would expect, that's going down as well, all moving in the right direction, the number of covid 19 deaths the lowest since lockdown was introduced, good news but still, still, not back to the levels we would expect to see at this time of year, once you get into the sum of the total number of deaths start to come down as well so not at normal levels yet. figures for england and wales, what about northern ireland and scotland ? wales, what about northern ireland and scotland? they release the figures at different stages in the week we know in northern ireland the total number of deaths is below average, butjust, 292 versus 291, just below the average, the number of covid 19 debts hovering at around the same level, 21 in that week. in scotland, the figure is nearly back to normal, about 1030 deaths registered in a week, you would expect to see 1000, very close to back to normal, the number of covid 19 deaths falling but not quite there yet. what about the trend in

ca re there yet. what about the trend in care homes? to be honest, the overall picture is a pretty good one, of the 50,000 deaths we have seen, in england and wales, covid 19 debts, two thirds roughly in hospital, one third in care homes, they are all going down as well, the picture regionally as well, almost every region in england and wales, the numbers are falling. we see as well in almost every age group, the numbers are falling so there is this kind of consistent pattern, no matter how you slice and dice the data, things are moving in the right direction but still not where we wa nt to direction but still not where we want to be. this day that lags a little, the deaths registered up until the 12th ofjune, we saw yesterday another mandate low in the number of covid 19 deaths recorded across the uk. so we are seeing consistent downward trends in the data, the numbers all pointing in the right direction and hopefully we see that filtering through into the slightly lagging death registrations ina slightly lagging death registrations in a couple of weeks. robert, thank

you. we will bring you the headlines at the top of the hour. at 10am we switch on to bbc two. but before that an opera house in barcelona has put on its first concert since the coronavirus outbreak — but it wasn't a typical performance. the audience was made up of more than 2000 pot plants, which were then given to frontline health workers. the concert took place a day after spain's state of emergency came to an end after more than three months. that's a little bit bizarre, isn't it? your reactions to the idea that we are getting more freedoms from july the 4th, one viewer it says as a pub owner, my concerns are about opening on the 4th ofjuly. as much asi opening on the 4th ofjuly. as much as i would love to open my doors to the public i am concerned it is a saturday, i think that is a mistake

and we should wait to open on the 6th ofjuly. 0n and we should wait to open on the 6th ofjuly. on twitter, this viewer it says i would rather be free to see my family who i know have been responsible and stayed home but collectively, we are more than six, i guess i will have to go to a pub with a load of strangers instead. laura says i cannot believe we will be in laura says i cannot believe we will beina laura says i cannot believe we will be in a position where people can shop all day, go to the pub, the cinema, the sioux, people cannot get —— children cannot get an education u nless —— children cannot get an education unless they are a private school and have received lessons throughout. how did we get here? if you want to get in touch, you are very welcome. you can e—mail me. all the weather, here is carol kirkwood. hello again. 0ver here is carol kirkwood. hello again. over the next few days many of us will see temperatures rise and the humidity level is rising, notjust by day but also by night. for england and wales it will last for the next few days, scotland you will see it briefly, northern ireland, you will miss out on the highest

temperatures. what we currently have isa temperatures. what we currently have is a lot of cloud streaming across northern ireland and scotland, that isa northern ireland and scotland, that is a weather front producing some rain, that rain through the course of the afternoon will still be with us, pushing north, the cloud we had earlier across north wales and northern england, moving north, allowing a lot of sunshine to develop across most of england and wales, that is reflected in the temperatures. 23—27d in england and wales. 17—19 across northern ireland and scotland. through this evening and scotland. through this evening and overnight we hang onto this rain across northern ireland and scotland. further south, looking across northern ireland and scotland. furthersouth, looking at a lot of clear skies. not going to bea a lot of clear skies. not going to be a cold night, in fact, all of us staying in double figures, feeling quite humid. tricky for sleeping in. tomorrow we start with the same weather front in situ across northern ireland and scotland. it's weakening all the time so we may well start with rain but then it

will be mostly a band of cloud and it will brighten up, the sun will come out and for england and wales, we will see a lot of sunshine. image is responding. 30 in birmingham, 31, possibly 32 in london, 22 in aberdeen. 20 in belfast. from wednesday into thursday cute see how we still have this week whether front, really quite weak on thursday, producing showers, some of which could prove to be thundering across parts of scotland, possibly northern ireland as well. a lot of dry weather, at lot of hot sunshine. temperatures by the time we get to thursday, looks like they will peak and we see 31,32, thursday, looks like they will peak and we see 31, 32, possibly 33 degrees at the top temperature, 29 in liverpool, 26 in glasgow and edinburgh. for fardy itself, this is what we think temperatures will peak on thursday, under each hour is coming from the west with a lot of cloud. they are going to be pushing steadily eastward through the day and that will have an impact on temperatures for most.

hello. welcome to bbc news. i'm victoria derbyshire with the latest headlines. uk pm borisjohnson is expected to announce that cinemas, museums, galleries and hairdressers will be able to reopen in england from the 4thjuly. a relaxation of the two metre social distancing rule in england could also allow bars, restau ra nts a nd hotels to leave lockdown. we are going to be giving some guidelines, so if we do make these decisions later on today, guidelines will come through for businesses to know how they can work, how they can function and what is expected of them.
