america's leading infectious disease expert has warned of a ‘disturbing surge‘ in covid— 19 cases in parts of the country. anthony fauci told the congress the next couple of weeks were going to be critical. the british prime minister boris johnson has announced a significant easing of coronavirus restrictions in england. restaurants and pubs can re—open injuly and the government has relaxed its two metre rule. the british prime minister boris johnson has announced a significant the world's number one men's tennis player novak djokovic has said he is "so sorry", after becoming the latest tennis player to test positive for covid—19. he fell ill after holding a much—criticised tennis event in serbia and croatia last week. in atlanta funeral services have been held for rayshard brooks. the african american man was killed by a white police officerjust days after the killing of another black man, george floyd, whose death sparked worldwide protests.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster daisy mcandrew and the sun's deputy political editor matt dathan. tomorrow's front pages starting with. .. well there's just one story in town this evening — ‘get the beers in‘ — that's on the front of the metro as the prime minister announces an easing of lockdown restrictions in england which will see pubs, hotels and restaurants reopen from the fourth ofjuly. wedding services will be capped at 30 people and swimming pools and gyms have to remain closed — additional details about what can and can't reopen at the beginning

of next month are in the times. the telegraph has an image of borisjohnson hailing the end of britain's ‘national hibernation‘ but he also warned that there would inevitably be further local outbreaks. the guardian features warnings from the government's chief medical and scientific advisers that the easing of lockdown restrictions in england is not ‘risk—free‘ and that the public should not be fooled into thinking this means coronavirus has gone away. but the express focuses on the positives with the headline ‘cheers boris — here‘s to a brighter britain.‘ so let‘s begin... with the times. again quoting from boris. hibernation at an end. interesting picture of him giving

that statement before the press conference. as we that statement before the press conference. as we were that statement before the press conference. as we were discussing half an hour ago or so it‘s not all straightforward, is it? no, it really isn‘t. there‘s no surprise that in some ways it would be unfair to criticise the government because it‘s not clear cut. telling everybody three months ago stay at home, that was a very easy message to sell. an easy message to consume for most of us. this is much more nuanced. much more responsibility being handed back to us. some of the newspapers describe as getting our personal freedoms back. newspapers describe as getting our personalfreedoms back. whether people think it‘s unfair responsibility to be putting on the general public where we have to decide and monitor our own behaviour rather than letting the scientist and politicians do it for us. interesting to see boris back to the kind of form that he prefers, much

more serious and bouncy and certainly doing his usual tapping the dispatch box saying that britain will come back out of hibernation. tapping or thumping? thumping. that‘s a real sign or build to understand his state of or happiness and that‘s when the more thumping the happier he is. certainly was a bit more cheerful today. i think a lot of people know a bit more fearful, what are we meant to do? how are we meant to socially distance if the two metre rule had gone down to one. and a lot of things from former scientific advisers saying it‘s too early and the one metre will work and he will be lax. so a difficult message for some of us. your paper, and by that imean

some of us. your paper, and by that i mean every paper had this yesterday, the second bite of the cherry. only three or four weeks ago that a lot of papers were predicting this within a few days. attempt of the management and messaging of the story what have we learned, do you think? they presented two options, actually. when was a more phased returned to normality. i think he is gone for the more comprehensive option. you can only meet one other household indoors, and others outdoors, but i think it would require a lot more measures slowly and gradually coming out to the might of been confusing that way. as

there‘s no legal backing to this. its guidelines, is the day? which is the important distinction.” its guidelines, is the day? which is the important distinction. i have picked out from the comments statement from boris johnson today that this is a real clear shift from legislation being enforcing the measures to now the british common sense and end states that boris johnson hammered home today. the principles have changed from legislation to our great british instinct. i think that'sjust natural. you can't really govern, how many different households are meeting in a private home? yes. tea—time shows rejoice as hancock‘s half hour ends. i‘m old enough to mirror the original show hancock.|j remember the taking blood episode.

but anyway, the criticism perhaps about the government not being held to account on this because those daily briefings interpretable as they often were dead put politicians up they often were dead put politicians up and scientific advisers and give them a big platform especially the scientific advisers. we can all remember what it was like in those first few days. even the nonminority newspeople are quite hooked in his press c0 nfe re nces . newspeople are quite hooked in his press conferences. and he was trying to ask questions or get answers from politicians they were wonderful particularly coming from a government that really had not put itself out there and stop sending cabinet ministers onto various tv shows and all the rest of it. this was a big u—turn for them to lay themselves open and it was i think a very clever m ove themselves open and it was i think a very clever move because it did seem to give them that air of authority and more trust from the public that we could see what they were doing and saying and see that the three amigos, is that this is now the last

four now appearance of the three amigos being the two scientific advisers and the prime minister. they are saying they will now roll that the lecterns and all of those charts if there‘s something significant to say. i think what they are planning is that we have got fatigue and we are going to stop reporting on them day in and day out. whereas if they say they are having with tomorrow our ears will pick up and listen to what they have got to say. the benefit of it is that, negative is that it looks for something they are running away from us. something they are running away from us. if you don‘t want to answer the questions. how much consternation was there inside number ten with the scientist did not always back—up the political message? this is very much the point suggested in the times. that now we come to a stage where we are taking decisions like today based on economic judgements are taking decisions like today based on economicjudgements as well as the science and medical science that some of the scientists like

professor chris whitty minute actually completely agree with everything that's being decided. and to points out that the scientists are being much more honest in their owi'i are being much more honest in their own opinions of these press conferences as we saw from the dominic cummings fiasco. the chief medical officer was very honest about dominic cummings and today chris said i would be surprised and delighted if we are not in this current situation through the winter and into next spring in terms of the state of the coronavirus in the uk. was the chief nurse or nursing officer that was not called to take pa rt officer that was not called to take part in the briefing because she would not have supported dominic cummings? is that true, do you know oi’ cummings? is that true, do you know or not? number ten did not deny that stories we presume it's true. they said that they have banter and that they actually said that she will be appearing at future press conferences i would be surprised if she's rolled out. i think the nation

has a lot of trust but i think numberten were has a lot of trust but i think number ten were getting a little bit worried about the increasing candour shown from the scientist at the daily press conferences. let's crack on. daily telegraph, the simple quote. the bustle is coming back. glaringly omitted schools. this is a big issue. when the prime minister is making his statement in the house of commons is much more mention of schools and there was at the press conference at five o‘clock this evening. and certainly saying quite clearly that the ambition now is that schools from all schools will come back in september. i do think that this is partly to almost play chicken with the unions who have said quite flatly that that is a fa ntasy said quite flatly that that is a fantasy that schools cannot possibly come back even with one metre instead of two metre social

distancing, and with the size of bubbles being suggested it‘sjust impossible. the schools are staying. many other people saying even if it‘s impossible at the moment there must be a way around day, must be imaginative and using other premises, disused church halls or whatever it might be to get the kids back because of chris so much of the economy does rely on children going back to school and therefore those pa rents back to school and therefore those parents being able to work and so on. and of course those children missing out on vital years of education, and it will build into a much bigger argument. i also suppose that governor williamson will not be in hisjob beyond september. that governor williamson will not be in his job beyond september. -- gavin williamson. dominic cummings said inside government they see

gavin williamson as doing a really toughjob of gavin williamson as doing a really tough job of taking a bullet for borisjohnson and tough job of taking a bullet for boris johnson and by the government has problems with the schools. they see him as taking on the unions and two we e ks see him as taking on the unions and two weeks ago when he ditched the pledge to get all primary school pupils back they saw that as not reality. the unions will find any excuse to try to oppose the plans to get back to schools. even today the union leaders were saying even at one metre we will not be safe to get all the kids back by september. i think it'sjust that all the kids back by september. i think it's just that we get to the age—old political battle between the conservatives and the hard left unions. i get the hunch now that gavin williamson will actually be safe at least a cabinet position, maybe not in his current role. has he still got his tarantula from when he still got his tarantula from when he was chief whip? i don't know

about that. it's a very good question. it will look at my tasks to us that tomorrow and get back to you. boris johnson state he didn't wa nt to you. boris johnson state he didn't want to see people getting raving drunk and the beer gardens onjuly four, but very upbeat message as we re four, but very upbeat message as were discussing a moment ago was sort of cautioned by the scientists there. who had a much more pragmatic approach. and i wonder how difficult it‘s been for the scientific advisers to be behind this easing? of course we can all see that the safer option on purely medical grounds and safety of the grounds would be to continue the lock down for weeks if not months. of course it would be. it doesn‘t take into

account all the no guns both were health and the economy. at least the scientists do say we understand it‘s a political decision at the end of the day. but they were very keen to emphasise that this is, this does come with risk. he said i cannot say there‘s no risk, there is risk. that also brings to what was handed out oi’ also brings to what was handed out or warned today that we may well get secondary lockdowns but probably local lockdowns if there‘s an upset. as we seen in germany, south korea, beijing. we seen lots of these bubbles as they come up that have to be stamped on very firmly. i think that probably is almost the best case scenario if we see something like that then we will get regional oi’ like that then we will get regional or local or even individual towns going back into lockdown. poor sentence that he would take full responsibility if there was resurgence. how much does the

government focused on the public inquiry into the handling of this? about 0%. i think it will inevitably be an inquiry into this just like we saw with the iraq war. but i think interesting today chris playing bad cop to borisjohnson‘s good cop. portion on the positivity and going to the pub onjuly four and having beer. chris, seconds later saying in a warning that don‘t be fooled, this means coronavirus has gone away it‘s very likely we will still be living with this throughout winter and even this time next year. and he‘s warning the public that he must behave with the measures and comply with test and trace. otherwise we will see an uptick for sure. he‘s very clear that he is worried people will not report their symptoms we seen that earlier in france. it is about two weeks ahead of us. so bad

cop to a good cop, but i think he plays a very vital role because he‘s so plays a very vital role because he‘s so trusting in the british public. isa so trusting in the british public. is a problem with the messaging when you look at a lot of the headlines in the next few hours, the daily mail back on. it does caveat that by saying there‘s a risk of the virus is returning. but just saying there‘s a risk of the virus is returning. butjust in the blea kest and is returning. butjust in the blea kest a nd sta rkest is returning. butjust in the bleakest and starkest headline some are back on, it can be read as let‘s get back to normal. and 9096 of the front pages it‘s the beers are on boris, hooray, the summer is back. and let‘s party. that‘s what sending shivers down the scientist back. the fa ct shivers down the scientist back. the fact that we are all throwing caution to the wind in start hugging oui’ caution to the wind in start hugging our friends we haven‘t seen for ages and novak djokovic and we will infect each other. that‘s a serious problem as they keep telling us,

it‘s a particularly serious problem if we are indoors versus outdoors. at the moment it‘s 30 degrees and we can all be outdoors but that‘s not going to be every day, we know what a great british summer is like. and we get to the autumn is could be more and more difficult. if we have been given those freedoms taking them away again as could be very difficult for a government who has said summer is back on, let‘s get the economy going and drop the core rules and all the rest of it. and these are guidelines now but if they are flouted and there‘s real public interest or public case for putting the lockdown back in place does that legislation just to simply get revived or would they have to, how does that work? i think the legislation can survive for up to six months before it has to be renewed so i think there's a sunset clause in it and extension so far they can push through legislation within hours in parliament so i think the public should be under no

illusion that legislation very quickly follow if the government do need to impose lockdowns. in a very different position now to when we were in february and march. because there's much more measures and mechanisms in place to deal with local outbreaks. yes we have problems with the context tracing but it is up in place and they are already dealing with local flare—ups in meat—packing factories in wales for example. and we are much better equipped country as you and i and the public much more informed about it and we are aware that we cannot we are it and we are aware that we cannot we are visiting friends and family not hugging each other. not going back to the normality from before. i do think there's a reason to be much more hopeful. getting the beers then on the front page of the metro. people expect her to give their names and details to the pub so i

think. every pub? orat least names and details to the pub so i think. every pub? or at least set it aside in case there is a flare—up of the coronavirus. and the practicalities of that for some places will be a lot easier than for others. if you are a quieter pub with a slightly older clientele would be quite happy to give details but this the type of place thatjust has a lot of walk—in with friends coming in from soho or wherever else it could be very difficult to control. they will have the ticker system, one ended one out and all the rest of it. but how do you control people standing outside? and difficult for the bar staff as we we re difficult for the bar staff as we were discussing. also just four strength and saying he‘s looking forward to getting a haircut. at the a lot of people would agree with him on that one. why hairdressers and not nail bars

i think nail bars have a higher risk of the disease was touching of hands. where is hairdressers where advisers but i guess solons will as well. there's less contact. and less talking in hairdressers. i guess also an element of cutting your hair isa also an element of cutting your hair is a bit more necessary than getting your nails painted but that'sjust personally speaking. your nails painted but that'sjust personally speakinglj your nails painted but that'sjust personally speaking. i would disagree. i don't know. and did express just another one cheers, boris, here‘s to a july the 4th breaker britain. one of the stock pictures of boris holding a painter there. and is that he‘s on a diet so are off. he revealed he was looking forward to for things getting his haircut, going to a pub, and a restau ra nt haircut, going to a pub, and a restaurant and go back to the theatre and playing village cricket. those last two things he cannot do, there are among letter venues that

had to stay shut. jens, for example. a lot of consternation of weather can't open about mid july they are looking. i'm afraid we are out of time again. good to see you both think you very much indeed for that second look at the papers. hello, i‘m chetan pathak and this is sport today, live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on the programme. mr wood was him omitting outside the league. spurs taking a lead from this own goalfrom thomas. things spurs taking a lead from this own goal from thomas. things then got worse where harry kane was put through on goal and made no mistake

on his 200th premier league appearance. he moves tottenham up to seven and within a point of fifth—place manchester united. we we re fifth—place manchester united. we were less or how to wriggle but it was the visitors that had the best chance in the game, casper saving that penalty. that means that lester stay third, nine points clear of manchester united. brighton who beat arsenal are now clear of the bottom three. and championship strugglers middlesbrough have sacked head coach jonathan woodgate and have appointed neil and he spins without a club since leaving cardiff in november. during 21st of the championship and of the relegation zone on goal difference. andy murray has made a winning return tennis after bidding liam brody in the battle of the bretz exhibition held behind closed doors. it‘s seven months since he

last played but as you can see at the bottom of your screen looked relatively sharp and immobile in his latest comeback from injury. and he eventually beat brody in straight sets. the six day event has been organised byjimmy murray and his following strict safety measures with no fans, no ball boys or girls and no line judges. with no fans, no ball boys or girls and no linejudges. there was with no fans, no ball boys or girls and no line judges. there was a shock forjimmy murray and his doubles partner earlier at they were beaten by liam brody and cameron norrie post at the last year‘s us open semi finalist, but they recovered to win the match. practice for the planned restart of the professional tour in august and it‘s raising money for nhs charities together. novak djokovic says he is sorry after become the latest tennis player to test positive for cobe in i9 player to test positive for cobe in 19 following exhibition tournament over the weekend. the rule number one is to to play in the

final on sunday but the match was cancelled after a player announced he had tested positive for the virus and social distancing rules not enforced there from the players were pictured dancing, hugging and mixing with fans. for players have not tested positive. in a statement he said his wife also now has covid—i9 but his children do not. they said that everything they did in the past month that it was a pure heart and sincere intentions. the tournament was meant to unite and share a message of solidarity and compassion throughout the region. he says he is extremely sorry for each individual case of infection in hopes it will not complicate anyone public health situation and that everyone will be fine. meanwhile pakistan cricket says their tour of england remains on track that follows three other confirmed cases. track the squad‘s due to fly

to the uk on sunday for three test matches and three t20‘s from the end ofjuly. those infected will self quarantine at home before flying out to rejoin the rest of the squad when they‘re symptom free. we are continuing to paint plan to tour england. of the ten players that we have announced who have been tested positive for the number one virus, seven of those are white ballplayers. they will predominately required for the t20 series that begins in the 23rd of august. of the other players, a reserve and also mohammad rizwan was the other player penciled in for that test match. that‘s all the support for now. reaction to the premier league matches on the bbc sport website, but from me and the team for now good night.

on tuesday the temperature reached 29 celsius around london. at the end of the week we are likely to find the weather breaking down with a bang but for the next couple of days the heat and humidity will continue to build. looking at 90 fahrenheit. the heat and humidity coming in from continental europe and spilling its way northwards to a much of the country. that one coming in around an area of high pressure but by the end of the week the pressure pattern looks very different. lowering pressure to me and from the atlantic threatening to sweep some federated downpours in from the west on friday. we have rent rent for northern ireland. also work try and clear skies and i2 northern ireland. also work try and clear skies and 12 to 15 degrees. the rain in the northwest will gradually peter up towards wednesday. the cloud thing skies brighton and such a particularly for southern and eastern scotland where should be quite warm. england and wales we have the gentle breezes and

strong sunshine and temperatures continuing to climb. 30 degrees in birmingham, 31 in london. and you probably noticed like i have that‘s the pollen levels are very high. not just across england and wales but across northern ireland and scotland as well. as we move into thursday there could be some thundershowers towards the far northwest of scotla nd towards the far northwest of scotland to move away. later in the day maybe just a hint of things to come with some showers in cornwall. but thursday is going to be the peak of the heat. the warmth will continue to push its way into scotland. not getting the extreme heatin scotland. not getting the extreme heat in northern ireland. 90 fahrenheit and that‘s in london on thursday. in the changes we head into friday. a bit uncertain but that lowering pressure and some of those thunderstorms begin each develop. in list under a downpours push their way east through the day.

kabila burke heat and miss towards the southeast and the last of the heat is really getting pushed more towards eastern parts of england and elsewhere there‘s scriptures are starting to drop away. in that process will continue over the weekend. 20 or 21 will be the best weekend. 20 or 21 will be the best we will manage by sunday and maybe a bit of rain around. they can be quite usually windy for the time of year.

this is bbc news: i‘m tim willcox with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. america‘s leading infectious disease expert warns of a disturbing surge in covid—nineteen cases in parts of the country. right now, the next couple of weeks are going to be critical in our ability to address those surging means that we are seeing. england‘s most significant easing of restrictions yet —— people will soon be able to go to pubs, stay in hotels and visit hairdressers and cinemas. remembering the life of rayshard brooks. funeral services are held for the african american man
