us, we intend that hairdressers and barbers will reopen from the 15th of july. barbers will reopen from the 15th of july. applause nicola sturgeon also said that the two—metre rule will remain in place in scotland. are we prepared if there's a second wave of covid? a warning from health leaders that we need to be. 4,500 jobs to go at airport services company swissport uk — the company says it's losing half its workforce because of coronavirus. vladimir putin joins celebrations for victory day in russia — critics say he's using the second world war commemorations to keep himself in power. also coming up — the uk sees temperatures soar. i will be reporting from a river bank near bristol on what is the hottest day of the year so far. there are warnings about taking care in the water and while you're queueing in the heat at the shops.

good afternoon. the details of how pubs, restaurants, hotels and other businesses in england can operate safely when they come out of lockdown in ten days' time has been published by the government. official guidelines include advice to reconfigure seating, minimise self—service and stagger arrivals. customers will be urged to book in advance, order online — or through apps where possible — and not to lean on counters. but many scientists have warned that the reopening could help lead to a second wave of coronavirus cases. our business correspondent simon gompertz reports. the countdown begins. following and interpreting the guidance to open in ten days' time. to be completely sure, this pub in manchester will have temperature checks. good to go, thank you! ..screens and a queueing

system for the toilet. we have a lock and mirror that goes through to the bar. kelly will open the door for us in a second. there we go. one in, one out. pubs, hairdressers and restaurants and others will be able to open in england from the 4th ofjuly, as long as safety measures are in place. the current two metres social distancing rule is being reduced to one metre plus some extra measures. allowing venues to open. the last thing anybody wants is for a second peak or a business to be shut down because it's not obeying the guidelines and the rules. the only way we will be able to reopen the economy in a safe and cautious manner will be if people continue to observe the rules. hairdressers have closer contact with customers and stricter rules. visors, for instance, for staff. this one in london is booked out for the whole ofjuly. we are implementing disposable towels and gowns. masks and visors if

we have to wear them. we're gonna be sanitising each chair after every client. we are going to stagger clients so they are not on top of each other. making all this work is going to be a huge challenge. it's notjust the visors, floor markings and other measures, at this barber's, there would normally be able to have 1a people in the shop. that could now be six or less, which makes it a huge problem just making any money. how do we make sure both staff and customers are confident employers are going to do the right thing and put in place the things they need to put in place and make sure that workplaces and venues are safe? and then also what we do to support those employers who, regardless of what the guidance says, just will not be able to open because economically their businesses won't be viable at the moment. there is frustration, nail bars amongst them, gyms and swimming pools, still deemed too risky, and will not be able to open from the 4th ofjuly.

we have got perspex screens, we've got enhanced ppe, we've got hand sanitiser. we've got everything included a 5—page risk assessment that we have meticulously gone through. so it is deeply disappointing that unfortunately nail bars have not been included alongside hairdressers. for those who have been chosen, there is relief, tempered by trepidation about how they will turn in a profit and how they can force customers to follow the rules. simon gompertz, bbc news. first minister nicola sturgeon has announced a major easing of restrictions in scotland next month if the virus continues to be controlled. ms sturgeon gave holyrood a series of indictive dates injuly when she hopes parts of the further parts of the economy will be reopened. she said beer gardens could open on 6thjuly and outdoor organised sport could take place from 13july. the route map will see the hospitality sector, hairdressers and shopping centres fully open by 15july.

the challenge, which is not an easy one, is to manage all of this change, while keeping this virus firmly under control. if at any stage there appears to be a risk of its resurgence, our path out of lockdown will be halted, and we may even have to go backwards. to avoid that, we must get as close as possible to elimination of the virus now and build confidence in our ability to fight it in future where necessary targeted suppression measures. our scotland correspondent lorna gordon is in glasgow. getting down to the nitty—gritty, in terms of what can open and when. yes, and an acceleration really i think in terms of the route map out of lockdown that will set out for scotland, with those four phases. but the first minister today giving a lot of dates and detail to the next stage of reopening of the economy here in scotland. she said that the careful measures being taken by that the careful measures being ta ken by people that the careful measures being taken by people here was working to

drive the virus down further towards the point of elimination, and that has given her the confidence to allow a further reopening of the economy. so worth unpicking some of those details. while the tourism sector won't open fully until mid—july, 15th of sector won't open fully until mid—july,15th ofjuly, she said self catering, self contained accommodation can reopen back—up from the third, and people will be able to travel further than five miles here from scotland from that date as well for leisure and recreation. outdoor beer gardens, as you said, and outdoor hospitality will be permitted to reopen from monday sixth. households will be able to meet people indoors with people from up to two other households, as long as there is strict physical distancing and hygiene measures in place from july ten. there is an indicative date of july 13 for the resumption of outdoor sports for children, organised outdoor sports, and nonessential shops in shopping centres nonessential shops in shopping ce ntres ca n nonessential shops in shopping centres can reopen from july 13. pubs and restaurants indoors, i hope you are taking a notable this, can

reopen from the 15th as well as hairdressers and barbers. some areas though still don't have a date to resume. there is no date for the resumption of communal worship, indoor live entertainment like bingo or theatre is nightclubs, or indeed indoor gyms. the first minister said these were areas where she still needed further consideration and assessment until dates for those areas to reopen could be set. and she shared her pleasure at news that hairdressers will be reopening. yes, it was a light moment in first ministers questions. it has been almost a running joke these past few weeks, talking about hairdressing bear, and there was a round of applause when she said that hairdressers can reopen from the 15th, and i'm sure people are picking up their phones already, i'm certainly going to have to do it this afternoon, to get their appointment set in stone for that date. 0k, she has put a picture of herself online. there it is, doing herself online. there it is, doing her own hair. but it has been fine.

it really has, it really has.|j would just tell everybody you are nodding. lorna, good to see you. thank you very much. the welsh government says the recommendation for people to stay two metres apart is still the "safe way to behave". first minister mark drakeford says social distancing advice is unchanged in wales. meanwhile, speaking at news conference in the past hour the education minister kirsty williams said she hadn't ruled out children fully returning to school in september. i'm not ruling anything out. what i am definitely ruling in is that we will work really hard to minimise the ongoing disruption to children and young people's education by the pandemic, and we will need to plan for a variety of scenarios too, as i said, increase facetime as much as possible, but we will continue to be guided by the science in that regard, whether that be regards to

social distancing, or whether that will be regard to any potential risks that having all children back as normal may make for our ability to manage the disease but i'm certainly not ruling anything out at this stage. i want to reassure eve ryo ne this stage. i want to reassure everyone in wales that we will be working hard to maximise the opportunity for children to be in school and minimise the ongoing disruption to individuals‘s education as a result of the pandemic. updated guidance has been published on how hotels, pubs and other businesses in northern ireland can reopen safely from the 3rd ofjuly. it includes advice to reconfigure seating, stagger arrivals and encourage use of outdoor areas. customers will be urged order online or through apps where possible. it comes after hospitality businesses were told last week that they can open sooner than originally planned. health leaders are urging ministers to carry out a review to establish if the uk is properly prepared for another coronavirus outbreak. the presidents of the royal colleges of physicians, surgeons, gps and nurses — have outlined their concerns in a letter published in the british medicaljournal. our health correspondent

sophie hutchinson reports. intensive care, as the virus hit its peak here. senior doctors and nurses are now warning lessons must be learned in order to prepare for a second wave potentially. writing in the british medicaljournal, they called for ministers to set up an urgent review. are we any more prepared than we were when the first wave hit us? why were we uncoordinated with supplies of our ppe? we still don't have an answer as to why my colleagues from the black, asian and minority ethnic groups are more likely to die from this illness. these are all things that urgently need looking into in a no—blame, forward—looking way. the letter was signed by the presidents of the royal college of surgeons, nursing, physicians and gps, it said identifying

areas of weakness was crucial to preventing further loss of life. today, the government declined to commit to a review and stressed the need for people to continue to take precautions. no one can predict what is going to happen in the future. i hope what we can do is go back to some sort of normality. all of this is predicated on people continuing to follow the guidelines in the rules. that's how we keep people safe. yesterday, the chief scientific adviser sir patrick vallance underlined the ongoing risks, and experts are concerned about the potential for a second wave. patrick vallance pointed out that only about 5% of the population of antibodies. 95% of the population remain susceptible and can catch this thing. that is a lot of tinder to get a nice big to get a nice big inferno going again if we are not very cautious. and there is widespread criticism about the lack of an effective system to identify where the viruses and trays infected of an effective system to identify

where the viruses and trace infected peoples' contacts. even the heads of those running nhs test and trays have admitted that it won't be up and running fully until the autumn. and that's really not good enough, because we need that local system and a very intensive system there all the time, to know where the cases are, to be able to really stamp out the virus. how the virus will behave in the next few months, particularly as the winter approaches, is still of great concern. smaller, local outbreaks seem likely, and an eventual full—blown second wave cannot be ruled out. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. borisjohnson has been challenged over the effectiveness of the government's track and trace system during prime minister's questions. the labour leader, sir keir starmer asked why a ‘track and trace app' had not been delivered. the prime minister insisted that no country in the world had a functioning tracing app. our political correspondent leila nathoo is in westminster. that's all very well, but not long ago he was promising a world beating

one. yes, this is clearly a vulnerable point for the government still, despite acknowledging that the app is now sort of redundant in its current form, and they are moving towards another model. this was something keir starmer pressed borisjohnson repeatedly on today at prime minister's questions. it speaks to the broad point keir starmer was trying to make yesterday, despite welcoming the relaxation of lockdown restrictions in england from july, keir starmer said look, this needs to be accompanied by a reliable test, track and trace system, and today that was what he pressed boris johnson on, saying that it didn't look like at the moment the majority of co nta cts look like at the moment the majority of contacts of those people testing positive for coronavirus were being traced, and the app is not in trace —— in place to track unknown contacts. borisjohnson insists it is dependent on the human traces, those people who call you up to tell you if they have been in contact with a positive coronavirus case but i think more broadly this is going

to bea i think more broadly this is going to be a bit ofa i think more broadly this is going to be a bit of a watch and wait situation. what will the impact of the relaxation be in the coming weeks, and are there measures in place to deal with that, to stop the virus spreading again more widely if the national lockdown restrictions have been lifted 7 the national lockdown restrictions have been lifted? when boris johnson announced this yesterday there was broad support from labour. we are beginning to see a gap widening now. yes, labour have said they agree with this next step, but they want to know that there are robust measures in place instead of that, because, you know, the virus, as we had very forcefully from the chief scientific adviser, the chief medical officer for england yesterday, the virus is still circulating. this is not risk—free. if you replace, if you lift the national lockdown restrictions in england, as boris johnson national lockdown restrictions in england, as borisjohnson announced yesterday, you have to have something to replace that with, the virus has not gone away, as we are being repeatedly reminded by those scientists, and that is labour

because my concern now, that there isn't a robust enough replacement, if you like, for these lockdown restrictions. and that's why you heard keir starmer pushing on the reliability of this test, track entry reliability of this test, track e ntry syste m reliability of this test, track entry system that we have got in place at the moment. and boris johnson mounting a very strong defence, saying that it is robust enough. there are those call handlers there to try and trace those contacts of positive coronavirus cases, but i think we will see a bit of a time lag, if you like, now, in terms of a number of weeks needing to go by before we actually see whether it is the case that local outbreaks can be suppressed with local lockdown is. do councils have those powers? will they be effective in containing local outbreaks? and well the test, track, trace, isolate system be robust enough to actually hunt down everybody who has come in contact with positive coronavirus cases? leila, thank you very much. the headlines on bbc news.

new government guidance for businesses in england — as they prepare to re—open after lockdown hairdressers, hotels, and pubs are advised on seating and booking arrangements — but gyms and nail bars will have to wait in scotland, pubs and outdoor restaurants will get back to business — as long as the virus is under control so as we've been hearing — the first minister nicola sturgeon has been setting out her plan for the further easing of coronavirus restrictions in scotland. from the 3rd ofjuly, the five—mile limit for leisure and recreation activities will be lifted, and caravan and self contained holiday accommodation will be allowed to open on the same date. indoor shopping centres, pubs, restau ra nts a nd hairdressers won't open until the 15th ofjuly. we can speak now from to beccy routledge — an air bnb host who has been offering her online virtual experience — "guided meditation with sleepy sheep" during the lockdown. beccy joins me now.

is that hamish, google or lochee? this is lucky, well done for knowing their names. i don't how you would guide people to a peaceful sleep with one of those around. how has that been going for you in lockdown? it has been an absolute joy. you would be surprised to know sheep are very intuitive. they tune into the energy of what is around them, so when there is meditation going on, they meditate with you, and even if you are in another country you can still meditate with sleepy sheep. why did you come up with the idea? well, i know where you came up with the idea but why that idea to cope with lockdown? i was already running a live experience, called tea with naughty sheep, outdoor, and oversee that was closed down, even though it's fully booked, so air b&b approached me and gave me the opportunity to do an online experience instead. and air b&b guests experience instead. and air b&b gu ests have experience instead. and air b&b guests have all got wanderlust and they are dying to travel so they can

travel to scotland virtually and see nature and meet sheep and then do some therapeutic things as well. so this virtual online experience, you ta ke this virtual online experience, you take your phone outside and what can you chat with the sheep with them? we do de—stress techniques, as well as meditation. they meet the sheep and they talk about sheep as well, and they talk about sheep as well, and they talk about sheep as well, and they get right up close. if you imagine somebody who is in an apartment in new york city, and they haven't seen anything green for a long time, to suddenly be up close with this beautiful boy is remarkable. really? you are getting people from new york ringing you up, are you? oh, yes, it's all over the world. and now you are getting ready, i am guessing, to prepare for real human beings once % how real human beings once more. how will that work? we're all going to be masked, and we've got cleaning guidelines. so the aim is to retain

the character and individuality and warmth of what we do, but with safety para mou nt, warmth of what we do, but with safety paramount, and for my holiday cottage, same thing. air b&b have given us lots of guidance and manuals on cleaning, so the aim is to make sure that nothing is like an operating theatre, but it has dug up the rustic charm and individuality that air b&b are principled in. the rustic charm and individuality that air 3&3 are principled in. and is that guidance you have come up with yourself to be super sure, what are you working on the basis of what the government is helping you with? the government in scotland are still working out what's happening. so we have just had a new announcement, saying july three for self catering cottages, so that includes me. and the safety guidance is supplemented bya b&b, the safety guidance is supplemented by a b&b, so we have a large instruction manual, and it is very

detailed, very supportive. we had to commit to it before we are allowed to receive guests. state occasion is going to be the word this year, presumably that is going to benefit you? well, hopefully. the rough guide had a poll of the readership to ask what is the most beautiful country in the world, and scotland won, so why not come to scotland? it is right here and you don't have to getjet lag walk you in an airport or have any of the stress of travelling. you are teaching breathing exercises at the moment online with the help of sheep. i'm just wondering how easy that is given frankly it is not the best behaved animal i have seen today? yes, unpredictable, as is technology, so it is entertaining. it is always different and it is a lwa ys it is always different and it is always hilarious full stop show us what you mean by a nice deep, breathing exercise right now. let's see if it works. i don't think lachy is going to let me. i don't think

she's going to let you do anything. we will leave you and lachy and we send our regards to the other two andi send our regards to the other two and i wish you well. thank you very much forjoining us this afternoon. that was becky routledge. up to 11,500 jobs are to go at the airport service company swissport uk — that's more than half of the company's workforce. it says it has coped with many crises in the past — but never anything like coronavirus. sarah corker reports from manchester airport. swissport handles fight at most regional airports across the uk, including here in manchester. their staff, they check in our luggage, they also help to manage freight, to de—ice planes, even to refuel planes, but it was back in april that the company boss warned that if there wasn't more government help forthcoming for the aviation sector, then there would be job losses. the reality is there are global travel

restrictions in place, there are those quarantine rules, and that means there are fewer aircraft in the sky, and the industry is smaller, so swissport has said it has to adapt in order to survive. industry estimates are that passenger travel will not return to pre—virus levels until 2024, and as you can see, manchester airport today, the runway behind me is a really quiet, and the ceo of swissport has said the current colla pse swissport has said the current collapse in air travel is the worst in living memory. today's announcement comes after further news we have had in the past weeks that major airlines also cutting tens of thousands ofjobs. we have heard ba, british airways, ryanair, easyj et, heard ba, british airways, ryanair, easyjet, they were also reducing headcount, and the transport secretary today who said they understand the pain being felt by the aviation sector, and that there isa the aviation sector, and that there is a bespoke financial support for

large companies available from the treasury. but unions, they have said these job losses are devastating and have also warned that the scale of thejob have also warned that the scale of the job losses mean that the viability of some of our regional airports may now be under threat. russia has been holding its annual military parade in moscow — marking 75 years since the victory over nazi germany in the second world war — the event going ahead despite the high level of coronavirus cases in the country. critics have accused vladimir putin of deliberately scheduling the parade one week ahead of a vote on constitutional reforms that could extend his rule. steve rosenberg sent this report from moscow. it was the parade the kremlin had been determined to stage.

on red square, russian military might marking 75 years since the defeat of nazi germany. it had been postponed once due to the pandemic. but the president had pledged the parade would go ahead when possible, to honour russia's contribution in world war ii. translation: we will always remember that nazism was crushed by the soviet people. by millions of people, of different ethnicities, from all republics of the soviet union. no masks for the military and no social distancing, but the kremlin insists this was safe. vladimir putin's decision to push ahead with this parade now is a controversial one. the kremlin leader claims that the coronavirus is in retreat. but it's not beaten. the city of moscow alone is registering around 1,000 new covid cases every day. so, why did vladimir putin decide the military show must go on? partly because russia's

victory in world war ii has become a cornerstone of the country's national idea. but, more crucially, the president is hoping the parade boosts his popularity, ahead of a referendum on extending his rule. voting starts tomorrow. this war veteran wasn't worried. "we will beat the virus," he says. "just like we defeated the nazis." it's fighting talk like that the kremlin is keen to encourage. steve rosenberg, moscow. today has already been confirmed as the hottest day of the year so far and over the next few days temperatures in some places are expected to reach as high as 33 degrees celsius. a heat—health alert has been issued by public health england and the met office encouraging the most vulnerable — many of whom have been shielding during the lockdown — to take extra procautions. the hot weather is expected to last until at least friday — asjon kay reports from the village

of saltford near bristol. with outdoor pools closed, with lado is closed, with lifeguard numbers on beaches reduced in some places, many people are heading to river banks to get some sunshine and to cool down in the water, but the emergency services are today issuing a warning to people just to take care, to make sure they socially distance when they are outside in the sunshine, and particularly take care in and around the water. only last night, a serious incident in cookham near maidenhead, where a man went missing in the water, and there has been a search going on there. the authorities say look, just take particular care at the moment in all sorts of respects, not only do you have to be careful of the water, you have to be careful of the water, you have to be careful of the water, you have to remember there is also a pandemic under way. warnings also this lunchtime from the public health authorities in different parts of the uk, because it is hot in many places today, it is going to

get even hotter over the next few days, so they say if you are elderly, vulnerable, in one of those groups that has been shielding recently because you have underlying health conditions, take particular ca re health conditions, take particular care to stay indoors, make sure you keep hydrated, because you could be a particular risk in the coming days. and there are also warnings this lunchtime particularly from st john's ambulance. if you are going out shopping, normally it might be something you go to the supermarkets just to get the air conditioning on a hot day and try to cool yourself down. they say at the moment if you go to the supermarket or any shop you might well have to wait outside ina you might well have to wait outside in a queue for some time, distanced, before your turn is allowed to go m, before your turn is allowed to go in, and if you are in the sunshine, you can get dehydrated, you can get sunburned, so take water with you, make sure you have suntan lotion on and the other bit of advice is to make sure you try to avoid the hottest time of the day, so try not to go to the shops, queueing outside, between like 12 o'clock and three orfour outside, between like 12 o'clock and three or four o'clock in the afternoon. that is the official advice. in the meantime, people here are forgetting the thing they can out all those weeks cooped up at

home and regulations to where they have been allowed to go outside and just making the most of it and trying to enjoy the sun and sometimes the water. jon kay reporting from saltford, not farfrom his home, between bristol and bath. this is chris fawkes with the weather. for many of us, more of that hot, sunny and humid weather to come, so skies like this will be pretty commonplace was not however, the weather is not going to stay like that and later on in the week we will start to see some big thundery downpours moving in, bringing the risk of some localised flooding. before we get there, it has been a hot and before we get there, it has been a hotand humid before we get there, it has been a hot and humid day across england and wales in particular. it has been quite cloudy for northern ireland and scotland, just a few bright spells in the afternoon. after such a warm day for england and wales, those temperatures will be slow to fall, so it will be quite an uncomfortable night of sleeping ahead. ridgers at 11 o'clock still up ahead. ridgers at 11 o'clock still up at 23 in london, birmingham and cardiff as well —— temperatures at

11 o'clock. tomorrow they could be an odd mist patch across the north but for most of the sunshine across the board, a few thunderstorms are possible across the high ground in scotland, moving away northwards with time. another hot and humid day, temperatures could reach 33. wish you well.

of this team? it's pretty much unthinkable, actually! so we have done a couple of things really well and right, but we can have this situation but, no, i don't think about city can catch us or whatever, i think about crystal palace. city striker sergio aguero is likely to miss the rest of the season. he's having knee surgery tomorrow in barcelona. he was injured during that win on monday night. city are still in the champions league, which is set
