hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world — and stay with us for the latest news and analysis from here and across the globe. a major incident has been declared on the south coast of england on the hottest day of the year in the uk. as temperatures soared above 30 degrees celsius, thousands of people descended on the beaches in dorset. bournemouth council said it was appalled by the scenes and the irresponsible behaviour of crowds who had ignored public health guidance on coronavirus. they said the local police force was being stretched to the absolute hilt and pleaded with people to stay away as roads were gridlocked and beaches became full. duncan kennedy is in bouremouth and has this report. these were the unprecedented scenes on bournemouth beach today. the council says around half

a million people turned up to use the beach. the opportunity for social distancing was almost entirely gone. even though many did try to find a space. this afternoon the council said it could no longer cope and declared a major incident. right now the restaurants are closed and bars are close and attractions are closed and you cannot go in the arcade and you cannot do any of the fabulous things we have got available so after 11th ofjuly those people would be spread around the various activities. also hotels will be open so car parks are open and there other places for people to park. right now there's not enough facilities here and it's getting everyone to the beach and causing problems. with many facilities closed, the beach was the only space to go. declaring it a major incident enabled agencies to come together and pool their resources: amid scenes of chaos

and overcrowding. if people get too close they would say, it's not good. it's not good. it's going to cause a second wave. the beaches here have witnessed these huge gatherings at other times during the covid—19 crisis. the weather and the golden sands and attract people from as far as the midlands. the local mp says you cannot shut the beaches when it gets overcrowded but government help is now needed. it's very important that the government understand it's got to be flexible as well and it's got to be dynamic in recognising just as if it was a big demonstration and police coming to help that if dorset requests extra help from a policing perspective that we are quick there to support them. the council has sent out a message urging people to go home but the experience of this and other days that when the weather is this good, few want to give it up despite the dangers.

and duncan joins us from bouremouth now. it's just after 7pm local time, still plenty of people there on the beach. declaring a major incident, has it made any difference?” beach. declaring a major incident, has it made any difference? i am not sure it has to be honest. we have seen a few families leave early, we had one family who came from the middle of the uk, the midlands, spent an hour on this beach with their four children, spent an hour on this beach with theirfour children, we met them on this path and they said they can't stay, it's not safe for them to stay and they decided to go home and call ita and they decided to go home and call it a day. it's been very lively as you see there at bit taste of it, it's pretty good humourfor the most pa rt it's pretty good humourfor the most part although there is a lot of drinking going on. but you can't get enough space around you to be socially dispensed, that's been the problem throughout. you just heard the member of parliament, the np

saying the government has to step in and do something but the question as what? they don't really have any plans as to how to stop people coming from miles and miles away to this beautiful beach. in wales during the public crisis, people have been limited to five miles or seven 01’ have been limited to five miles or seven or eight km from their home but here in england, those measurements, those missionaries have not been in place. you can come from wherever you want to enjoy these beautiful beaches and this glorious weather. so as to what the solution is, the authorities are not clear but they are saying is that today because of these vast numbers, twice the population of this town of bournemouth tend up—to—date and they simply have to call in the police or on the ambulance seven days and try to go along as best they can light at the same time finding people to go home. the uk opposition party, labour leader, sir keir starmer has sacked his one time rival for the labour leadership rebecca long bailey for sharing

an article which contained what labour described as an ‘anti semitic‘ conspiracy theory. the shadow education secretary retweeted an interview with the actor and labour supporter maxine peake. she was asked to delete this tweet but chose not to. rebecca long bailey — who came second in the party leadership contest — later said she had not meant to endorse all aspects of the article. sir keir starmer has been explaining his decision. the sharing of that article was wrong and because the article contained anti—semitic conspiracy theories i have therefore stood her down from the shadow cabinet. i made it my first priority to tackle anti—semitism and rebuilding trust with thejewish community is a number one priority for me. the actor maxine peake that made the original comment that ms long bailey shared — has responded on twitter. she

said, ‘i feel it's important for me to clarify that, joining me is claudia mendoza, who is the chief executive of thejewish leadership council which is an umbrella body representing the largest jewish organisations in the uk. thank you for being with us. what do you make of that point that we just heard from maxine that she did not intend to spread a conspiracy theory because we've heard from rebecca long bailey today saying that she in no way endorsed anything that was in the article. i am heightened that she has acknowledged what she shared was indeed an anti—semitic concert —— conspiracy period and has apologise for it but i think it shows how these views

are so systemic in society but it's so easy for people in the shadow cabinet to share without thinking of it. rebecca logan bailly had been told that what she was sharing, she had the opportunity to apologise and the opportunity to share tens of thousands of followers that this is what anti—semitism looks like. as opposed to doing none of those things. you metjust last week opposed to doing none of those things. you met just last week to discuss the issue of anti—semitism in the labour party and he was very firm that he was going to stamp it out, do you can keep took the right decision today to soccer? we met with him twice as recently as last friday, what he said to us is this is an absolute rarity in their leadership to rebuild trust over the last three years it seemed the record levels of anti—semitism

in the party and the broader society and what he did was he put his words into actions and spoke to us repeatedly and when push came to shove when he was faced with a real challenge he did what he said he would do so if a first step, a welcome first step as decisive action and we are pleased to have seen action and we are pleased to have seen it. i am interested pretty quickly because in the article, she talks about the tactics used by the us police, maxime and ben shee says that the length those scenarios from the israeli secret services. but the independent adds an additional note saying the is raised in my they are dismissing the theory and the point i'm coming to is that keir starmer could have found a way to defend but aqualung baby and i want to politically and people are asking this on social media, whether he just wanted an excuse to get

rid of somebody who he blames for some of the anti—semitism in the party? somebody who he blames for some of the anti-semitism in the party? the fa ct of the anti-semitism in the party? the fact of the matter is that rebecca long baby did not share the answer, she did not apologise and keir starmer has a said he would have no —— none of that and he would read it out and have zero tolerance and that's what he showed itself i don't know what that considerations are, all i can say is he has identified anti—semitism in his front bench and dealt with it decisively. we will have to leave it there. thank you very much. the latest figures from the department of health show that the number of people recorded to have died from coronavirus in the uk has risen by 149 in the last 2a hours. it brings the total number of deaths in the uk to 113,230. the director general of the world health organization has warned that, by next week, we can expect to have

recorded 10 million coronavirus cases globally. dr tedros adhanom said that, while the situation in europe may have improved, globally, it was actually getting worse. in the first month of this outbreak, less than 10,000 cases where reported to who. and, the last month, almost four million cases have been reported. we expect to reach a total of 10 million cases, and 500,000 within the next week. the pandemic has highlighted the aims of national unity in global solidarity, the virus thrives on division but is thwarted when we unite. it's now been a month since george floyd died in police custody in minneapolis. his death has sparked a wave of global protests calling for an end to institutional racism and the destruction of historic statues connected to slavery. 0ur north america correspondent, nick bryant looks at whether the events of the last month

has fundementally changed the united states. in this month of ceaseless protest, a new generation has been fighting an age old american struggle, they are converging on the steps of the lincoln memorial, the sacred spot where martin luther king delivered his most celebrated speech. black people do not have freedom, justice or equality... it's dream of racial equality have been deferred and the wounds of slavery and segregation have never truly healed. black lives matter! it was police brutality that brought protesters out onto the street. but it's a deeper sense of racial injustice that has kept them marching every day for the past month. a multi—ratio and multi—generalization mobilisation that's claiming progress. this is an emerging of the past and future. we all understand that we are standing

on the shoulders of civil rights. and it's already changing america. confederate statues, memorializing the champions of slavery have been brought down. and new landmarks has emerged. in washington the mantra black lives matter has been painted on the doorstep of the white house. as for policing polls, now suggest overwhelming majority want standards for when officers can use force and consequences for those who do so excessively. some cities have banned the controversial chokehold. this has been a time of theory and frustration. a greater understanding of heightened recognition. but it would be a mistake to see this as a moment of national reconciliation. racial problems have been laid bare, but remedies. stare a

long way off. let's bring in katty kay, who's in washington. there is nick telling us that things are different, that there is this passion and feelings are running high in america. there are calls across the island in congress by police reform. i get today, what do we see but more finger—pointing, more acrimony, and not much solution, you think there is a possibility that the two sides of the house could come together and find a real change for america?” think where you are seeing some movement as actually in space and am infa nt movement as actually in space and am infant —— individual police departments. you have already had some police departments, big ones like san diego, one of the biggest in the country that had said the applicant an immediate band to chill colds and others they i think they're going to hold their own office as my two accounts, so things are happening at a local level but

you are right, in congress it's pretty styled, you have the house looking on the package later today but you let in the senate and you have but a republican proposal and a democratic proposal and the democrats are saying we want nothing to do with the republican proposal and we are rejecting that because it's not going far enough, it's not doing, for example, banning chokehold, dipping that killed george a month ago. so, i think here in washington you're seeing a disintegration of that feeling in the city of unity. something has to be done, but around the country and police department you're seeing things being done and more important than that, looking at recent opinion polls, the vast majority of the american public also think it's time to look at the issue of police brutality and racism more broadly. stay with us, let us bring in reverend william barber, co—chair of the poor people's campaign. he's in north carolina.

it is that you're happy with us. let us it is that you're happy with us. let us put that question to you. the living things have changed in the united states since the death of george freud? what we have to first understand it —— about the death of george and what it triggered was there was a lot of kindling with the finance spark happened. george freud death on camera eight minutes and 46 seconds where a knee on his neck basically glimpsed on the sidewalk happened with the camera on and it also happened when 100 plus thousand people have died from covid—19 and people have died from covid—19 and people that have a nice and he did not have to do that, it comes from the ineptitude of a president who has shown himself to be racist and is concerned with the lives of people and it also happened at a time when 700 people are dying at bay from poverty even before covid—19 and e to george floyd so what you have is the coming together of all of this pain which,

in addition to the george floyd gasps, you had others on camera, and we saw this on camera and let people are saying is when george floyd said i can't breathe, they said to be ten feet because these policies are questioning us. it is not first time in america you have seen clinicians come together, abolition was, but in this morning, the death and that the mass of the policies easy that are killing people has caused people to say this is enough, we cannot delete this any more. —— deal with this any more. some of the protests seem to have died down around the country, i am in washington, dc and every night there were big protests here, if the protests don't continue, will the push for change buyout?” protests don't continue, will the push for change buyout? i don't think so. first of all, i

think it isa think so. first of all, i think it is a sad chain that this many people have to stay in the streets for some just for setting groups in america to protect and give us equal protection under the law which is a constitutional right. it should not be dismayed. it also said something about the of america, particularly the extreme is say, remember they are not just the extreme is say, remember they are notjust waffling on this issue, they are blocking health care from people which has, people die from the lack of health care, they are fixing the voting rights act with more than seven yesterday, the extremists in the united states have blocked voting rights which is about but at present —— they have been blocking living wages we 54% of african—americans so blocking living wages we 54% of african—america ns so the blocking living wages we 54% of african—americans so the protests have not died down, they may buy in one way but this past saturday we had 2.5 million people that you would our assembly and

march on washington, a digital affair and all of them said there is systemic racism and systemic poverty and ecological devastation, the religious nationalism that we must address and they were black and like and latino and asian and indigenous and latino and asian and indigenous and every day and they were straight and every day and they were straight and they were young and old all coming together in this campaign. so the protest may not be in the street but the activism is still going on and people are building toward the voting booth. the uc activism coming in the shape of people who are running for office? we had some interesting primaries. there was one in new york who is one of the most powerful democrats and the democratic party defeated by jamaal, he was a middle school principal who campaigned obviously with this black lives matter protests going on in new york, so the uc political change in america now? i think we do. i think in the polls

you talk about the polls that say people want change but people also want health ca re change but people also want health care and people also want living wages and they are tired of republicans on the one side ration raising issues of poverty and dismissing racism and making an individual act and they are seeing democrats have to come up stronger to and what you are seeing is the pricing the things we see now our choices. we don't have to have been —— police department doing this and we don't have to have a society where people are dying because they don't have health these are choices and people are saying we are going to move in a different direction and they are looking at candidates more and more about their agenda, not their personality so all of it the country we are seeing that. in fact we just completed a study that shows that all it takes is ten to 15% of

poor and the left people who did not vote in the last election to get involved and they can fundamentally shift the politics. this is no longerjust about shift the politics. this is no longer just about black shift the politics. this is no longerjust about black or white or a democrat versus republican it's about right versus wrong. as states across the us move to slowly reopen their economies, the number of new coronavirus cases being recorded is growing in california, texas and florida — the three biggest states in terms of population — health authorities recorded their highest ever single—day figures on tuesday. today — in direct response to the worsening situation — the texas governor announced he was temporarily pausing all further reopenings in the state. in the last two weeks, 29 states have now recorded an increase in new cases — driving infections nationwide up by 30% since the start ofjune and reversing a month—long decline. today, the center for

disease control said it believed 8% of the us population has now been infected with the virus. let's bring back katty kay. you see the peak and it starts to get down and go back up. now i will put on this screen for you what happened in a city which was the epicentre here in europe. look at the difference. that is an indictment of what the administration has done. denial is not a strategy to tackle coronavirus. in la, ithink not a strategy to tackle coronavirus. in la, i think the more releva nt coronavirus. in la, i think the more relevant comparison is the united states versus the european union where the numbers have come down as well despite the who saying they are worried about some european countries. comparing it to be you are better off comparing it city with new york city which was the epicentre where in fact numbers have also come down. what has happened in the us if you have got b states that did not actually ever really get a handle on their own viruses and

opened up prematurity without following the white house guidelines. remember we have talked about this, the white house put out guidelines of how states had to be before they open up a number of days, the cases had to be declining and the health care system, that kind of thing. those states open up in fronting those guidelines and guess what happened. now you are seeing an uptick in the states in places like arizona, states that never really managed to squash an irs in the first place. i have been speaking to health care officials and places like new zealand and germany recently and they said the problem here is they never got a handle on it and now it's coming back and it will be very hard to play catch up again. you say you could comparing new york to italy, could comparing new york to italy, could also compare texas and you could also compare texas and you could compare florida and you could compare any of the southern states and you still see the graph is going the wrong way and what i'm saying is

it's not explained by increased testing. there is a spread of the virus because they have given up too early. even the governor of texas has said that who had been a fairly sceptical about coronavirus in the beginning, even he said this is not just about tax —— testing. even in florida be asking if notjust about testing, the numbers outstripped the amount of extra testing we are doing. in his new book that is out this month, john bolton, is president trump's practices obstruction of justice president trump's practices obstruction ofjustice as a way of life. yesterday the water surrounding the president got a little bit murky. a washington appeals court ruled in favour of the usjustice department ordering the charges be dropped against michael flynn, the president's for my national security adviser. you might remember he pleaded guilty twice for lying to the fbi about his contacts with russia, the department of justice announced it will not be

pursuing that case. president trump defended this thing he was set up and he welcomed a decision. katty and i are joined now by former us deputy attorney general donald ayer, who served in george bush senior‘s white house and yesterday testified before the house judiciary committee. he's known attorney general barr for a0 years. it is good to have you with us. what did you say in your testimony yesterday about what you saw in the justice department at the moment? what i try to do was give a pretty comprehensive oversight of the many ways that bellmawr as attorney general has essentially dismantled the watergate reforms that were put in place to essentially protect against the executive branch, abusing their power is and give the public a reason to be trustful in the fairness and the handling of our justice system. i think it has gone down the road and i try to go through some of the specifics of how that has occurred. do you think that bellmawr thinks the president is above the law? we know he

believes in executive power but when he was attorney general we did not see a particularly expansionist view of the presidency them. right, i think that's right in fact you don't even need to inferred that because he has said as much in the things that he has written and that he has said. he has written and that he has said. he has been a very strong advocate of a president who lets free from many checks and balances. he has given a speech saying that the executive branch should be almost entirely free ofjudicial review by any challenge by congress and also by any challenge of any discretionary decisions by anybody. he has done the best he could and he has done quite a lot to make the president and the executive branch free from congressional —— congressional oversight and he basically has done lots of things related to things like the appropriations clause for example where they are building a border while although

congress, there is a very long list of things we can go to talk about that but thatis we can go to talk about that but that is his belief. do you think the independence of the judiciary is at sta ke independence of the judiciary is at stake at the moment in the states?” don't know about the independence of it but i think it's ability to act in various situations, there are cases before the supreme court right now and a decision which relates to the question of whether, how subpoenas can be enforced and admitted to the question of whether or not the district attorney in new york can issue a criminal subpoena for conduct that involves private affairs of the presidents of what they are trying to do as cut off access to the courts in order to change the executive branch.” access to the courts in order to change the executive branch. i would have to finish it there, we are out of time. thank you

forjoining us. certainly a hot and sunny day across the board. we saw the highest temperature of the year so far, not just for england but also for wales and scotland. the highest was 33.3 celsius which was reached to heathrow in greater london. that will go out with a bang, some of us will go out with a bang, some of us will see heavy showers and thunderstorms of the next 2a hours. it could cause issues with heavy rain and flash the thunderstorms shelling across the far side of the country to the latter part of the evening. it will start to drift north. across parts of wales and the irish sea. not in ireland that intellect and scotland. he could see a few arriving by the end of the night. it will be dry and clear skies and very warm and muggy night. uncomfortable for sleeping. 18 or 19 in the large towns and cities. friday morning showers and storms

out west. this band of thunderstorm will spread north across england and wales. through the morning, pushing into ireland and scotland to the afternoon but we see thunderstorms developing in response to the heat and humidity. not quite as hot on friday once we had the last couple of days but still he could reach 30 celsius but fresher outlets. thunderstorms are violent if you catch one. it will be fresh for all of us and low pressure moving in and because the rain as well. here it is spiralling off the atlantic. as we moved to sunday, some places really windy, cool, and wet. the picture is let's to start across the board. some of the way there will be confined more to central and northern parts of the uk and we could see afternoon sunshine in the southeast. these are mean wind speeds. it would be a blustery day and thus temperatures reaching 21.22

of across the southeast. sunshine further north with highs around 18 01’ further north with highs around 18 or19 further north with highs around 18 or 19 degrees. will be fresh and beat us the humidity. for sunday the rain and showers will be in the western areas in west and scotland, better chance of seeing sunshine south. 21 degrees or so and they made team celsius further north.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. as the uk experiences its hottest day of the year —

a major incident is declared on england's south coast after hundreds of thousands of people head to beaches. i think people think i have forgotten about covid and they are having a covid holiday so i don't know what is happening at so many people think it is acceptable to come down here and use our beaches when we have a national emergency going on. a national emergency and not a national holiday. the uk's opposition leader sacks rebecca long—bailey from the shadow cabinet — for sharing an article which contained an anti—semitic conspiracy theory. i have made it my first priority to tackle anti—semitism and rebuilding trust within the jewish community is the number one priority for me. uk tourists may soon be able to holiday in much of europe — and not have to quarantine on their return.

hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world — and stay with us for the latest news and analysis from here and across the globe. people may soon be able to travel to some places in europe without having to quarantine for a fortnight when they return to the uk. in the next few days, the uk government is expected to announce so—called "travel corridors" with countries including spain, france and germany. damian grammaticas reports from the costa del sol on what spanish resorts may look like when the tourists return. 0n the costa del sol, it is already holiday season. no international tourists yet, but when the air corridor is opened, this is what you will find. new covid—19 wardens

enforcing social distancing. 3,000 have been hired for spain's southern beaches. you have to leave a clear path to the sea, 1.5 metres between people. 0nly family members are allowed to sit together and no more than two umbrellas. translation: the biggest problem we might have will be groups of people. at the moment, it's 15 people maximum. also, if people can't keep a safe distance, they should wear masks. and in hotels too, the numbers allowed in swimming pools will be restricted. the rooms are now bare. just a sanitised tv remote. anything you might touch has been removed. in the restaurant, diners must wear gloves. there are no menus. instead, a code to scan on your phone. and every hour, surfaces are disinfected. but despite this, they're only seeing cancellations, not bookings here, from overseas customers. obviously people are trying to modify their reservation, to 2021 or for september, october. even though everyone is talking about relaxing,

you are not seeing bookings? no. we are not seeing bookings, no, not at all. like spaniards, holiday—makers will have to wear masks wherever they can't keep a safe distance. what spain is trying to achieve is a really difficult balancing act. between kick—starting its economy, so reliant on tourists, and risking importing new virus cases. last year, the costa del sol welcomed 10 million visitors. air corridors might bring some back, but how many? damian grammaticas, bbc news, on the costa del sol. sean tipton is from the association of british travel agents , hejoins me now from north london. just looking at all the provisions spain is having to put in place to do this safely, i wonder if there is a real appetite for british holiday—makers to go? a real appetite for british holiday— makers to go?” a real appetite for british holiday-makers to go? i think there is. if you talk to members of the public, a lot of them open shops

last week and they so a lot of people coming and wanting to book holidays but what they didn't intend to do was to book a holiday going in july and august if they couldn't actually go through issues such as having to quarantine for 1h days saw they're looking at more people booking for later in the year and they are not seeing people booking for the summer because of that same issue. people who go on holiday want to be able to know that they won't have to quarantine 1a days when they come back and also as it currently stands, the foreign office are still advising against all but essential travel meaning you can't go on holiday to adelaide in the world so people can't go until those things change. there are some great positive noises coming out, air corridors allowing people to travel to certain destinations, but until those two things happen, that we have the foreign office change their advice, they think many people are going to want to travel. we were just discussing in the studio that people are really taking a

punt that certain countries are going to be lifted from the quarantine. what countries do you think might be safe and which do you think are an absolute no—go? and which do you think are an absolute no-go? if you look at the general way other countries have dealt with covid—19, sometimes the pandemic started earlier, in other cases they shut down much more quickly. in most cases countries had less infections than we have had on the exceptions are very well known, america and brazil and one or two other destinations, but certainly around europe many have done a great job. greece in particular had a few hundred fatalities, it's not a nice thing anybody dying but it clearly goes to show they managed to handle it very well. the point is if they are willing to let us visit when they have done a greatjob containing the pandemic cases then perhaps we should think about, let's open up these air corridors and allow people to travel and go on holiday because there is a lot of pent—up demand and that is clearly the case. not everyone wants to go

andi the case. not everyone wants to go and i think numbers will be lower than a normal year which in some ways is not such a bad thing with the social distancing measures but the social distancing measures but the demand as there so let's get travel going again. there might be a push effect given so many have had to book the nbn to be here and cottages in the uk, it is probably the best year ever british travel operators have had and given that there isn't space left people then thinking should be go abroad instead ? thinking should be go abroad instead? there will be some people just not in the position to take a holiday at all but i can certainly say after what we have been through, some people in much worse conditions than others, not being able to do anything for virtually three months orso, ithink anything for virtually three months or so, i think people will definitely need a holiday but it has got to be done the safeway and as we have seen in spain and other european destinations they will have social distancing in place but we need to see these talks about air corridors isjust talk need to see these talks about air corridors is just talk rather than something that is actually going to happen. 22 police officers were injured in south london yesterday — after violence broke out at an illegal street party

in brixton in london. police said officers tried to "encourage the crowd to leave" after they were called to reports of a "large unlicensed music event". four people have been arrested. the mayor of london said large gatherings during this pandemic were deeply irresponsible. june kelly report contains some flashing images. this report contains some flashing images. this was what police were confronted with on the angel town estate in brixton in south london. as darkness fell, but locals described as a previously peaceful gathering, spiralled into violence. downing street denounced these scenes as appalling. the home secretary described them as utterly vile. the metropolitan police said they had to deal with a large, unlawful music event. faced with a hostile crowd, police put a dispersal zone in place to try to break up

the troublemakers, backed by the end of the night, more than 20 officers had been injured, and some had broken bones. this morning this taxi driver discovered the damage to his car, which meant he has not been able to work today. i am very upset, angry, of course, because i am working very hard to survive and if you break my car, i have to fix it. and that is not covered by insurance. so it has cost me a lot of money. another resident, decatur, is angry that this means around her home became a battle ground. it was obvious that there was absolutely nothing going on. the police they were here, i was speaking to one sergeant who said we are just going to stand around to make sure that nothing happens. throughout the lockdown, police in london and other parts of the country have had to move

in to break up illegal gatherings. what was different here was the number of officers who ended up injured. all adding to mounting police concern about what they are going to face between now and the 11th ofjuly. it has created a pressure cooker. my colleagues are having to deal with the brunt of that. and it is getting more and more difficult. and as i say, somebody‘s going to be and nobody wants that. killed and nobody wants that. the police are bracing themselves for some hard days ahead as the countdown begins to the end of the lockdown. june kelly, bbc news. anti—body tests — to see if you have had coronavirus — were described by the prime minster, borisjohnson as a potential game changer in the fight against the virus. and the uk government has bought up millions of them. but now a group of senior scientists and doctors have criticised the decision to roll out covid—19 antibody testing in england. they fear the tests

are being launched too soon, without adequate assessment. fergus walsh reports. have you had covid? maybe without symptoms? the answer is in your blood. staff at this hospital in london who we filmed before facemasks were obligatory were keen to know their antibody status. when i developed symptoms, i moved out of my family house and i have been living in temporary accommodation so i thought i would get the antibody test done, see what the results were, and hopefully if i have an antibody response may be it's one step closer to moving back home. staff get their results via text message. karina, who has been working in a&e, was positive for antibodies. i think there will be a second wave and you just want to know if you are prepared for it really. i am mentally prepared to get it again because we are exposed to it every day. the government has bought 10 million antibody tests, as well as front line staff

and patients having other tests can request one. but some doctors and academics say the results may be meaningless. we don't know enough about these tests. we really don't know how accurate they are and we don't know what the result means. we don't know, if you have a positive antibody test, whether that means you cannot get the virus again or pass it onto other people and that's what people want to know. the key problem is scientists still don't know whether having antibodies to coronavirus means you are protected or how long any immunity might last. if i have an antibody positive test, i would feel a bit happier, a bit more confident, a bit more reassured. and yet this is still a killer virus that is out there, would i happily go to a crowded pub? probably not. even if antibodies do offer protection, very few people have got them. the vast majority of the world's population has not had coronavirus. in new york, the worst

affected city in the world, one in five people have antibodies to the virus. in london it's about one in seven, but in england as a whole and in spain it isjust one in 20, well below the two in three that would be needed to achieve herd immunity where the virus might find it hard to spread between people. the department of health says antibody testing will improve our understanding of how coronavirus is spreading, and how best to control it. fergus walsh, bbc news. a bbc investigation has found that plastic waste from britain that's supposed to be sent to turkey for recycling is instead being dumped there and in some cases burnt. the uk exports more waste plastic to turkey than to any other country. environmentalists say turkey can't even recycle its own, so shouldn't be importing more. this report from angus crawford has some flashing images.

wading through plastic, dumped on an industrial scale. filmed just before lockdown, all this was sent here for recycling. but now it lines the streets of adana in southern turkey. in some of it is a long way from home. and some of it is a long way from home. british beef stewing steak. the unionjack, there is some ham. last year, the uk sent more than 160,000 tonnes of waste plastic to be recycled here in turkey. does this look like recycling? we watch as bag after bag arrives. this syrian boy says they were given the rubbish and just told to get rid of it. once dumped, it is often burned. this fire lasted for two weeks. black smoke covering

the area. translation: this whole thing is not just our waste, we are drowning in other people's crap right now. we found british waste dumped on sites across the city. help keep britain tidy, reuse this bag to protect the environment. translation: english people are carefully separating out their waste but i think someone should come here and follow up to see how it is actually being disposed of. black smoke, more plastic, much of it british. sainsbury‘s pitta bread packaging being burned in the middle of south—east turkey. but what about the effects on the wider environment? our guide is an expert on plastic pollution. so, could some of this come from british waste? could be. he takes me to one of the most polluted beaches on the mediterranean, and has a message

for british families. they are feeling that they are doing something for the environment because they are sorting card, plastic, metal. they should know it's not going to recycle, it is coming to our city. so why is this happening? the uk now sends more plastic waste to turkey than to any other country. thousands of tonnes a month, bought and shipped here to be recycled. and that trade has carried on during the covid crisis. this is how it should be done. british bottles, sorted, cleaned and melted down. all of it at every step audited and tracked. but in the backstreets of industrial towns, a cottage industry has also grown up. good and bad quality plastic all mixed together, and who is tracking that?

there are real fears of waste stockpiled during covid will now flood the market. after this lockdown, all of this waste will be dumped in turkey. it makes me really depressed and angry. new dump sites full of other countries‘ waste, filmed just this month. it's a problem the british and turkish authorities say they want to clean up, but the shipments just keep coming. angus crawford, bbc news, southern turkey. the new paintjob costing almost £1 million on the plane used by the uk prime minister has been unveiled. the raf voyager — which was previously a military grey colour — has been resprayed in white, with a union flag on the tail fin and united kingdom written in gold on the fuselage. borisjohnson had previously complained about the military paint

scheme used on the jet. but the cost of the respray was condemned by opposition politicians when the plans were revealed. new polling ahead of november's us presidential election shows that joe biden is ahead of donald trump — even in key battleground states. let's have a look at six states that trump won in 2016 — and were crucial in giving him the electoral college votes he needed to pave his path to the white house. the new york times/siena college survey found that in michigan, wisconsin and pennsylvania joe biden currently has a lead in the double digits. trump won all three narrowly back in 2016. and in florida, arizona, and north carolina — the poll also findsjoe biden ahead of trump, who won them last time. katty kay is back with us — as is debbie dingell — democrat us representative representative from michigan's 12th district. good to have you with us. i look at those polls and i see only reason

for optimism but you are much more cautious. in fact, for optimism but you are much more cautious. infact, politicalw debbie downer this week because you are so debbie downer this week because you are so cautious that there might be are so cautious that there might be a surprise in the offing. why do you think so? first of all four years ago i predicted that donald trump could win and mitch again and nobody believed me and i think polls that give false expectations, i don't believe joe give false expectations, i don't believejoe biden give false expectations, i don't believe joe biden is give false expectations, i don't believejoe biden is ahead that much in our state for sure. i think if the election were held today he would probably win but i don't want to suppress votes, i don't want people to think their vote doesn't matter and it is five months between now and the election day and look at the world and how upside—down it is from just five months ago. anything can happen so anybody who thinks that this election is done and then the bag is just that this election is done and then the bag isjust way that this election is done and then the bag is just way ahead that this election is done and then the bag isjust way ahead of themselves. i guess the counterargument is that there are now so many

counterargument is that there are now so many polls showing joe biden ahead fairly comfortably of donald trump and that on the two big issues that americans in polling say they are concerned about, the coronavirus and the race protests, he is not doing well on those issues. so it would take an awful lot to swing against that? i respect you a great deal but i went in and just looked at the poster who said he was 62 points up. in 2016 that same poster showed her 1a points up and said there was no way she could lose. in october 2016 she said she has got it in the bag. the fact of the matter is the one number he continues to do well on as the economy. i don't think the way he has handled covid has been good at all, but people are tired. in my own state of michigan, there have been mass protests against what the governor has

done, which has saved thousands of lives. we area which has saved thousands of lives. we are a country that changes the issues that is focused on and the moods we are in very quickly, and it really is a lifetime away on those issues which are even bring up between now and november. congresswoman, people say the running mate he chooses is so important this year because potentially given the age ofjoe biden that person could become president so who would you like to see? would you like it to be your own governor gretchen whitman? gretchen is one of my dear friends andi gretchen is one of my dear friends and i think she has done a good job on this covid but i think it is a pic forjoe biden to make. i think that he and barack obama were a great team, they were comfortable with each other and trusted each other, and i think it is two very important things. the president has to trust his vice president, he has to trust his vice president, he has to be confident they are able to work together as a team, and that person needs to be able to be president of the united states if something were to happen. which hopefully it never would.

but i think it is his decision to make, there are a number of good, qualified people that are in the running and frankly most of them are my friends. so you mentioned there are five months to go. so far, being in his basement and giving telecasts occasionally has been pretty good forjoe biden. he is ahead in the polls at the moment. what do you wa nt polls at the moment. what do you want the campaign to do to make sure they don't make the same mistakes that you want hillary clinton's campaignfor that you want hillary clinton's campaign for the democrats back in 2016? one, i don't want them to become overconfident. and two, they have to talk to working men and women. one of the things president trump that four years ago in my home state, and by the way i spoke to some of these workers at a rally last week. it was one of the rallies that has happened is we have seen around the country, and these were

men that were not participating in the rally but had come to watch and wa nted the rally but had come to watch and wanted to make it very clear to me that they were still going to be voting for donald trump this fall, and while i don't agree that he has done what they think he has done, he talked about trade issues. he understands that for many auto workers 2008 turned the world upside down and they still worry about theirjobs. they suffer from anxiety at what is going to happen, and he understands that fear and he talks to that fear. democrats i think sometimes forget that we need to talk to working men and women across the country who are worried about theirjobs. they are not asking for theirjobs. they are not asking for the sky and sun and stars. theyjust wa nt to the sky and sun and stars. theyjust want to make a decent income and live in a decent neighbourhood and have a safe and secure environment and educate their kids and if they are sick go to the doctor, and we have to remember to talk to the backbone of america and remember what their issues are and that is

what their issues are and that is what we are fighting for. and quite frankly not always the coastal issues. really good to talk to you, thank you for coming in the programme. i always say to people, we get so fixated on the two coasts of america and what we hear from the mainstream media on those two coasts that we forget there is a whole medal that thinks differently when it comes to donald trump. yes, i think that's true, but there are now so think that's true, but there are now so many polls from the battle ground states and that is different from 2016 when the polling tended to be national polling but really focusing on the battle ground states and still finding joe biden ahead, so a lot ca n still finding joe biden ahead, so a lot can change, it is five months, but this is a good set of polls that have come out for the former vice president. joe biden still in his bunker but faring pretty well so far. thank you for watching. it was certainly a hot and

sunny day pretty much across the board. we saw the highest temperature of the year so the highest temperature of the year so far not just for the highest temperature of the year so far notjust for england but also for wales and for scotland. the highest value was 33.3 celsius at heathrow and greater london. or going out with a bang as some of us will see heavy showers and thunderstorms over the next 2a hours which could cause some issues, hail and very heavy rain with flash flooding and lightning. thunderstorms already showing their hand across the far south—west. they start to drift northwards in clusters across parts of wales, across the irish sea, the isle of man and into western scotland. could see just a few arriving across southern england by the end of the night but elsewhere it is going to be dry with clear skies and a very warm and muggy night to come, no lower than 18 or 19 and some of the large towns and cities. friday morning we have those showers and storms out west. this band of thunderstorms and showers will tend

to spread northwards across england and wales through the morning pushing into northern ireland and scotla nd pushing into northern ireland and scotland into the afternoon. we see a further rash of thunderstorms developing in response to the heat and humidity. not quite as hot on friday as we have had the last couple of days but across east anglia we could reach 30 celsius but fresher out west. these thunderstorms violent if you catch some. the weekend fresher for all of us, low pressure moving and so we could see some rain as well. spiralling in of the atlantic, isobar is closing up particularly as we move through sunday so someplace is set to be really windy, cool and wet. the picture on saturday pretty wet. the picture on saturday pretty wet to start across the board and the wettest weather confined to the central and northern parts of the uk whereas we could see some afternoon sunshine in the south—east. these are mean wind speed so it is going to bea are mean wind speed so it is going to be a blustery day for all and the temperature reaching highs of 2122 across the south—east given the sunshine, further north highs around

18 or 19. feeling much fresher and we have lost a humidity of course. sunday most of the rain and showers across northern and western areas particularly western scotland and the better chance of cinching further south bar the odd shower. 21 celsius or so but mid further north.

hello, i'm babita sharma. welcome to outside source. there's another stark warning from the world health organization about the coronavirus pandemic. its director general is warning of 10 million infections and half a million deaths by next week. the virus thrives on division but is thwarted when we unite. we look at the situation across europe amid warnings that the continent faces a resurgence of covid—19 as lockdown restrictions are relaxed. as the uk experiences its hottest day of the year, a major incident is declared on england's south coast after hundreds of thousands of people head to beaches. in the united states, house democrats prepare to vote on a sweeping police reform bill, sparked by the deaths of black americans at the hands of law enforcement officials.
