what boris johnson beaches and street parties. this is what borisjohnson has just been saying. if you look at what's happening elsewhere in the world, where people have been coming out of lockdown i'm afraid what you're also seeing is people taking too many liberties with the guidance, mingling too much, not observing social distancing, so some parts of the world, i won't name them, but you've got spikes, really serious spikes in the disease, so it's crucial that people understand that onjuly the crucial that people understand that on july the 4th crucial that people understand that onjuly the 4th we get this right, we do this in a balanced way. the prime minister speaking just in the last few minutes and that takes us onto a look at the weather prospects. his stav danaos. good afternoon, yesterday we saw the hottest day of the year, thunderstorms developed mainly in the west that also the south—east and through this afternoon in the rain is warm and humid for most with further thundery downpours developing, mainly from the midlands

1:35 pm
he has also been speaking today. we have heard from him in the last half an hour with the rest of the liverpool squad in a hotel in formby. that's where they watched chelsea beat manchester city. fantastic celebrations there, replicated in the living rooms up and down all at liverpool supporting households, but the players really enjoyed it, we heard from some of those players overnight in the middle of the celebrations, but he arrived at anfield, the manager, the manager at the club for the past five years now, what progression they have heard. he has got them back into the champions league. a couple of fourth—place finishes. then they just were couple of fourth—place finishes. then theyjust were pipped by manchester city by just a then theyjust were pipped by manchester city byjust a few points last season. 97 points to finish second, but now they have romped to this title albeit with the slight hiatus because of the pandemic, but it was only a matter of time and it was last night. he has been speaking
1:36 pm
to our sports editor. i was overwhelmed and didn't understand what was happening with my understand what was happening with d. understand what was happening with y understand what was happening with my body, my emotions. i realised it was obviously really big, i knew that before but last night, i don't think you can be prepared for a situation like this. i was not, or maybe you can, but i wasn't and so, it hit me full. in my face and in similar situations, it hit me full. in my face and in similarsituations, it's it hit me full. in my face and in similar situations, it's nice, it hit me full. in my face and in similarsituations, it's nice, but it's intense as well i was happy after the game but i was happy as well when i went to bed and could sleep, finally, because it is a lot what is going through my mind in moments like this. do you feel a sense moments like this. do you feel a sense of relief as well as joy? yes, i'm not sure if it was always like
1:37 pm
this. i don't feel the pressure too much before it happens but when it happens, the amount of relief it shows me how big the pressure was. so, yes, i am shows me how big the pressure was. so, yes, iam mostly shows me how big the pressure was. so, yes, i am mostly relieved. you we re so, yes, i am mostly relieved. you were filmed dancing forjoy. is it important that these moments to be able to have a laugh at the players are not just be able to have a laugh at the players are notjust be a boss. that's me. i don't do it for the boys or whatever, we were just in a good mood and it happens not the first time on any events. the boys know that i like, from time to time, when it is appropriate, i like a dance. it was a good moment in my life last night so i expressed on the dance floor as well. jurgen klopp there, he has always been exuberant. he spoke about the relief there and that was one thing that came through from the fans in particular, the
1:38 pm
relief that this long wait was finally over. yeah, notjust the 30 yea rs, finally over. yeah, notjust the 30 years, but the past three months, everything has been up in the air with everybody‘s lives around the world, really, and jurgen klopp, actually revealed a few weeks ago that he was really fearful that the season would never get going again, perhaps it would be declared null and void. how unfair without a bin? they did that in holland with their league but my word, look at that outpouring of emotion, yes they got a bit too close together and they did come to the stadium last night as well and perhaps they shouldn't have done in huge numbers but it is that sense of relief that once is that sense of relief that once is that with this collective will to get their season going again, it was just going to be a matter of time. they went into lockdown 25 points clear. now they are champions, 19th,
1:39 pm
top division title, manchester united laid their way on 20. that is going to be there longer term target now, but in the shorter term, seven games to go, yes they have clinched the title at the earliest opportunity by gains, they can now break through the 100 point barrier and go past manchester city's record of 100 points from a couple of seasons ago, so of 100 points from a couple of seasons ago, so still plenty for liverpool to play for, even though it will be behind closed doors for the next few weeks. they still have targets and you just sense that underjurgen klopp, that's tribal continue and perhaps we are seeing the start of another decade of dominance that we got back in the 70s and 80s. thank you, the show certainly will go on. 0ther premier league managers have been congratulating liverpool, albeit through gritted teeth in some cases. newcastle's steve bruce said they were worthy champions, though he acknowledged that was hard to say, given his manchester united connections. but he has taken pleasure in watching the rise of liverpool
1:40 pm
captain jordan henderson, after starting him on his way at sunderland. i can't speak highly enough of the lads, i'm delighted with his progress over the past ten years. he has been a joy to watch and when you set somebody on their way, that is one of the good parts of this job is to see how they mature and how they develop, how they grow and the career they have had and, congratulations to jordan, career they have had and, congratulations tojordan, he has done fantastically well. former wimbledon champion goran ivanisevic has become the latest member of the recent tennis tour to test positive for covid—19. ivanisevic is part of novak djokovic's coaching team and he was the director of one leg of the tour. he says he feels good and doesn't have any symptoms. djokovic and three other players have also returned positive tests after taking part in the tour, which has now been cancelled. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories
1:41 pm
on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport we are talking about it is well over the course of the afternoon. good afternoon, you are watching bbc news. we will take you through the afternoon's developments around coronavirus and much more besides. we will be talking about travel as well in relation to coronavirus, a lot of that, as well. so, let's start this half hour with an update from scotland. no deaths were registered in the last 2a hours of patients who tested positive for coronavirus in scotland. speaking at the scottish government's coronavirus briefing, the first minister has outlined the next phase of easing the lockdown there. nicola sturgeon stressed that everyone in scotland has a duty to ensure the safety of the public and staff when non—essential retail shops open on monday. scotland's retailers
1:42 pm
are making the necessary preparations but i want to stress that all of us, each and every single one of us, have a role to play in making sure that this reopening can work and work safely. that is why today the scottish government is publishing new guidance for customers that said out the basic rules that all of us need to follow in order to keep safe ourselves and to help keep others safe as well. as the guidance says, there are some people who should not be going into shops and all for now, for example those who have covid—19 symptoms and are self isolating, and of course those who are in the shielding group. if you are in either of these groups or if you need extra support, and you can have food and medicine delivered to you. that might be by family and friends, local volunteers or supermarket delivery services, but if you need help over and above that, you can call the national helpline. the number is 080011111000. help, including the delivery of essential
1:43 pm
food and medicine can be arranged. for those of us who are able to go to the shops from monday, the guidance is clear. you should shop locally if you can. for now, use the five mile limit as a guide and don't travel further unless it is absolutely necessary. i appreciate that the people living in rural and island communities, it might not be possible to stick to that kind of limit but for most of us, it should be and it is perhaps an opportunity to support our local shops in the process as well. you should try to shop on your own or in a small group as possible and avoid going to crowded shops at peak times. choose a time when the shops are likely to be less busy. when you do go into a shop, please wear a face covering. that is something that we are advising you strongly to do. i wore advising you strongly to do. i wore a face covering this morning when i visited me a lot, so i know that it ta kes a visited me a lot, so i know that it takes a bit of getting used to but you do get used to it and a bit of discomfort, which none of us enjoy,
1:44 pm
is preferable to getting covert or passing it someone else. —— over 19. by passing it someone else. —— over 19. by wearing a face covering, you are reducing the risk that you will unwittingly pass the virus to other people. you are also protecting yourself. unless medical reasons prevent it, where a face covering if you are going into a shop. in addition, you should only go into stores which have infection—control measures in place, use the hand sanitiser they provide, this morning there was hand sanitiser there. take your own in case you can't find any. finally, when we are out shopping, all of us need to remain patient and polite they are going to be times when retail staff ask us to follow rules which we are not used to because they haven't previously been in place. it is important for all of us in place. it is important for all of us to listen to them and treat staff andindeed us to listen to them and treat staff and indeed fellow customers with respect. the rules are there for the
1:45 pm
protection of all of us. nicola sturgeon speaking at lunchtime. the first minister of wales, mark drakeford, has condemned a mass gathering at a beach near bridgend, which resulted in a brawl and the arrest of two men. he said such behaviour threatens the health of people in wales, and undermines the "sacrifices" the majority have made during the pandemic. if there were a more general breakdown of the efforts we have all made, that would inevitably have an impact on our ability to go on lifting restrictions. i wanted to respond to the actions of the majority of people in wales who have shown such a determination to do the right thing. last night's pictures area right thing. last night's pictures are a reminder of what happens when things go wrong and we all have to go on working hard to make sure that that doesn't recur again. mark drake said. as promised, we will talk a
1:46 pm
little bit more about liverpool. as you probably know, they are the champions of england. they took the title last night without having to kick a ball — when their closest rivals manchester city lost to chelsea. manager, jurgen klopp, has been talking to our sports editor, dan roan. i'm very happy. i start to understand what happened last night. i was absolutely overwhelmed and didn't understand anything what happened with my body, what happened with my emotions. ijust realised it was obvious the really big i knew that before. last night, i don't think you can be prepared for a situation like this, i was not. maybe you can, but i wasn't, and so it hit me full. in my face and, when you are in similar situations like this, it is nice, but it is intense as well and so i was happy. after
1:47 pm
the game. i was happy when i went to bed as well and could finally sleep. because it is a lot what is going through my mind in moments like this. do you feel a sense of relief as well as joy? 0h this. do you feel a sense of relief as well as joy? oh yes. i am not sure if it was always like this. i don't feel the pressure too much before it happens. when it happens, the amount of relief shows me how big the pressure was. so, yes i am mostly relieved. you are filmed dancing for joy. mostly relieved. you are filmed dancing forjoy. it is important to have a laugh with your players?“ dancing forjoy. it is important to have a laugh with your players? if i wa nt to have a laugh with your players? if i want to dance, i dance. i don't do it for the boys or whatever, we were ina good it for the boys or whatever, we were in a good mood. we were in a good mood, obviously and so it happens not the first time in any events. the boys know that i like, from time
1:48 pm
to time, when it's appropriate, and we have the opportunity to do it, i like a dance. last moment was a good moment in my life so expressed that on the dance floor. how special is the bond that you have with your players? absolutely exceptional. i am lucky because i have very good relationships with all my teams but the mix of skill sets that the boys bring in, plus their personalities, is absolutely exceptional. this combination of all these things make it possible. there is no chance, same skills, different mindsets, different personalities, no chance. these boys, the mix of necessary things for a successful football is exceptional and on top of that, they are exceptional and on top of that, they a re really exceptional and on top of that, they are really a bunch of top, top boys andi are really a bunch of top, top boys and i am really happy to be part of this ina and i am really happy to be part of this in a moment. i was 100% involved in the decision—making,
1:49 pm
stuff like this, you need to be lucky as well with judging people and they educate themselves as well, ina and they educate themselves as well, in a specific way, it is not easy to be the strange guy now here. they are all individuals and different and that's good, there is no selfish character in the team so it is good. they have really redefined premier league excellence. the margin of victory is extraordinary. can you make them even better? is it possible do you think? we can improve. what that means, i don't know. the consistency we have shown is difficult to improve because it is difficult to improve because it is insane. in every game, i don't know if it is possible in the lake to be honest. but if you would have told me you can have from last season's beginning to now, i don't know what we have now, 183 points or something. i would know what we have now, 183 points or something. iwould have know what we have now, 183 points or something. i would have thought that wouldn't be possible. so, it means
1:50 pm
we can improve football wise. we have to. we have to bring in new things, other teams will defenders differently, but we need to adapt. that is life in football. the consistency, if we could keep it, would be a massive achievement. how have you done it? what do you think the secret is, the key that you have donein the secret is, the key that you have done in the past five years that very good managers in the past 30 yea rs very good managers in the past 30 years haven't done? 0h very good managers in the past 30 years haven't done? oh yes. its not a lot, is it? i think it is years haven't done? oh yes. its not a lot, is it? ithink it is probably more but i cannot answer this question properly because i don't think too much about it. we do what we think it is right. we never keep the last game too long in our minds. we are very optimistic always about the next game. we are very focused, all of us, our next game. we don't
1:51 pm
go for any excuses. we are just... we believe in what we do. 100%. the boys and the coaches. i have exceptional staff. we altogether are a pretty good premier league manager. all the departments we brought good people in, so it is not a coincidence that we are successful, but it is still massive that we are that successful. the fa ns that we are that successful. the fans of this club will have to wait a very long time for this moment now and we are in very difficult times as you know. how much does it mean to you? how special is it to put a smile on peoples faces at this time? it means absolutely everything to me. that's the only reason why we play football. this city is a very emotional city, they went through a lot of hard times, like the club had
1:52 pm
to go through and having these good moments is essential and makes me so happy that we can deliver it. it is unbelievable. having a successful football tea m unbelievable. having a successful football team in the city always lifts the mood in a city and so it helps everything. at this moment in time, in the biggest crisis we probably ever had, it is so important that we don't forget it. there is something we can really look forward to and we want to have in the future in our lives as well, it is really exceptional and thanks to everybody who was involved. and yeahit to everybody who was involved. and yeah it means everything. it's just exactly the reason. i said last year, exactly the reason. i said last yea r, after exactly the reason. i said last year, after the parade, i contacted so year, after the parade, i contacted so many people and that is the most intense experience i've had in my life. it is like, it drains you out,
1:53 pm
it's like, wow. you see how much it means and that makes it even absolutely special. you are now seen by these people in the same category as immortal managers. how does that make you feel? i don't feel anything about it. i don't see it that way. but if people want to see it like that, i am but if people want to see it like that, iam not but if people want to see it like that, i am not the guy to tell them to stop doing that or whatever. but i don't care, to be honest, i don't wa nt to i don't care, to be honest, i don't want to be disrespectful, but they are want to be disrespectful, but they a re really i want to be disrespectful, but they are really i can is —— they are really icons. they built this city. and kenny, player manager, there is no story that can compete with it. still in the club and king kenny and the next generation fought so hard
1:54 pm
for it, won the championship and different trophies but not this one. all these things since we use our history in the right manner so you don't compare any more is just happy about it builds on it, since then we can do what we do now and it is great. i am really happy to be part of it. final question. there are two kinds of title winners, the ones that when it wants, fantastic achievement and then they fail to back it up. and then there the other scenes. we have seen back it up. and then there the other scenes. we have seen in the premier league area —— mark era. this will require a change in mindsets won't it? we were really close, it's not like up and down with others and so here is the second, we are obviously pretty good. as long as we stay humble, everything is possible for us. humble, everything is possible for us. as long as we are ready to still
1:55 pm
write the stories we want to tell our grandchildren in the future, we area team. our grandchildren in the future, we are a team. who could play some good stuff, that's what we want to be. people look at the fixtures and think, wow, liverpool. nobody wants to play them. that's the plan, and i think that's possible. being successful, peoplejudges think that's possible. being successful, people judges and we finally win, i say that is really difficult because the other teams are too good for that and they have are too good for that and they have a good chance to improve of course and develop, we have to do, they have to do, they will, we will and then we will see was the best but in a moment like this, i don't think it makes a lot of sense to think about this stuff and we are in a very good moment now. in a week's time we play against manchester city and we have to show that we are still a good football tea m to show that we are still a good football team and that is what we
1:56 pm
