of coronavirus, with record numbers of infections in the south and west. several states which were among the first to re—open, including florida and texas, are reimposing restrictions. and at a fundraising summit, world leaders and private investors have pledged more than $7 billion to help find a vaccine for coronavirus. more on those stories in a moment, but first our political correspondent nick eardley gave his analysis on the prime minister's plan to revitalise the economy. that's right, it is one of the big questions that remains unanswered, how you get the economy moving again after some of the shutdowns we have seen across the world over the last few months. boris johnson's big idea that he is coming up with over the next few days is to spend on infrastructure and make it happen quickly. six months ago, during the general election in the uk, he talked a lot about this idea of levelling up between different parts of the uk, and it's a theme he is going to return to this week

for his vision for the post—covid economic recovery, talking about spending on schools and roads and various other infrastructure projects, but also making sure they can happen as quickly as possible, saying that there needs to be an acceleration of these projects, setting up this none too subtly named task force, project speed, to oversee it. i've got to say, though, there are numerous questions about how the economy is going to get back on its feet here in the uk. the labour party is particularly concerned about jobs, and making sure that when the furlough scheme, the support scheme that has been helping pay the wages of many people in the uk, when that comes to an end, that those sectors that haven't started up again don't see a complete collapse in employment and potentially mass unemployment in the uk as a result. so that speech of borisjohnson‘s on tuesday is going to be a big moment for finding out how he intends to approach

the economic recovery, but some of those questions aren't going to be easy to answer at all. oui’ our political correspondent there. coronavirus infections across the united states have passed 2.5 million, with record numbers of cases reported in the states of florida and texas. the surge in cases in southern states comes after businesses were allowed to re—open in recent weeks. restrictions are now being re—imposed. it's also affected the election campaign, as tanya dendrinos reports. another day, another record. more than 9,500 new coronavirus cases in 2a hours in florida, 600 more than the record set on friday. republican states like florida and texas had been keen to push ahead with the reopening of their economies early, but with a surge in cases some of those decisions have been reversed. last drinks were called in florida, a bitter pill to swallow

for those who feel they did all the right things. we did everything. our staff were wearing masks, we had sanitising stations, we did weekly tests, we limited occupancy. we did everything that was asked. it is a tough conversation to have with everybody, that, you know, we won't be able to provide them with a place to work. on friday, bars were also ordered to close in texas, with restaurants required to limit their indoor capacity. i am certainly sure everybody is concerned about what is going on, but we didn't think it had got to that point that we would go backwards like that. nationally, the us registered its largest single day increase of the pandemic, with more than 16,000 new cases on friday. more than 125,000 people have now died of covid—19, the grim figure far higher than any other country when it comes to officially recorded deaths. tanya dendrinos, bbc news.

an mp has called for a local lockdown in the english city of leicester after more than 600 coronavirus cases were recorded in the first half ofjune. labour's claudia webbe said the area has what she called "a perfect storm" of poverty, ethnic diversity and existing covid—19 cases. the department of health says it is supporting the local authority and has deployed four mobile testing sites. the mayor of leicester, peter soulsby, said more data was needed on how the outbreak was developing in the city. i spoke to the health secretary, what, ten days ago now, and have subsequently had a number of discussions with the chief medical officer and others and have consistently said to them that we need the data. we, and you, need to know what is happening on the ground in leicester and it's not helpful, really, just to talk about outbreaks or to suggest that there needs to be a citywide lockdown. we need to know what the real situation is on the ground here in our city and only then, together with the government, can we

decide what intervention is needed. two illegal street parties have been broken up by police during another night of unlawful gatherings in london. dispersal zones were put in place in clapham common and tooting bec common to clear crowds causing "significa nt disruptions" on saturday night. the zones allow uniformed officers extra powers to order people to leave the area and not return. the police said the unlicensed music events are "unlawful", "unregulated" and officers will close them down. police have named the man who was shot dead by armed officers during a knife attack in glasgow on friday. he was badreddin abadlla adam — a 28—year—old asylum—seeker from sudan. six people who were stabbed, including a police officer, are being treated in hospital. holiday companies say they've seen a surge in bookings to europe since the uk government announced blanket restrictions on nonessential

overseas travel will be relaxed from 6thjuly. holiday—makers are expected to be allowed to travel to certain ‘european countries without having to spend 1a days in quarantine when they return. let's speak now tojohn keefe, director of public affairs at eurotunnel. 0ne one of the papers today is saying it isa one of the papers today is saying it is a mad dash for the mediterranean. have you seen bookings on the rise? yes, indeed, we saw bookings rising through mid—may, but what happened through mid—may, but what happened through friday night and saturday was really quite extraordinary. we have had three times as many bookings made on saturday as the same day last year. june is always a busy time for bookings and it actually made it the busiest booking day we have ever had. 50 what sort safety day we have ever had. so what sort safety measures are you putting in place on eurotunnel to protect your customers and your staff? well, we

are following the government guidelines, obviously, on both sides because we have a terminal in france and the uk. so everything about hand sanitation station, social distancing, wearing masks, proximity. really the thing about eurotunnel is the means of transport makes it safe. you getting your own car you have your luggage and your family in, you drive to one about shuttles and you drive off on the other side. you don't have to get out of your car at all, so it is a co nta ctless out of your car at all, so it is a contactless way out of your car at all, so it is a co nta ctless way to out of your car at all, so it is a contactless way to get to france. how has the pandemic hit your business? it has been next, obviously it has been a bit difficult because of the restrictions on travel backwards and forwards and so the passenger side has seen quite a significant reduction in numbers, but we balance that with the freight business, which has been in high demand and even though some factories have closed down during the peak of the crisis there was still a very heavy

demand for things like medical supplies, obviously ppe, food to supermarkets in the uk and the online shopping that people were doing, that meant a were coming into the country as well. so the freight shipping stateside stood up very well and that helped balance our business. in terms of the holiday business, there has been a lot of uncertainty, frankly, in the uk because there was a quarantine and then the talk of travel corridors, air bridges and so on and now we are going to get those, but there has been uncertainty and people haven't really known whether or not a summer holiday was possible. yes, that is true, but i think people started to believe it would be possible three weeks or so ago, and those who are a lwa ys weeks or so ago, and those who are always the ones who move a bit faster started to book and we saw bookings creeping up. nothing like what has happened over the last couple of days, but we are trying also to build into the next a degree of comfort for people by including

refundable tickets, so that even if people are booking without total certainty, they will know that if anything goes wrong they will be able to get their travel refunded. 0k,john able to get their travel refunded. 0k, john keefe, thank you very much indeed. john keefe, director of public affairs at eurotunnel. thank you for your time. my pleasure. malawi's newly elected president lazarus cha kwera has said his victory is a win for democracy and justice. the election result is being seen as a democratic first in sub—saharan africa — a flawed election was overturned and the opposition has gone on to win power. reged ahmed reports. counting and tallying the votes earlier this week, this election was a rerun of a discredited presidential poll from 2019. when the incumbent president peter mutharika won a narrow victory last year, the opposition disputed the election, sparking anger and months of anti—government protests — a rare sight in malawi.

by february, the country's highest court, in a decision described as landmark, overturned the results, citing systematic and grave irregularities. now, the final results have come in and the opposition candidate lazarus chakwera has been declared the winner. preliminary results showed him as having a lead, and this result appears decisive. lazarus chakwera. cheering. ..the candidate who has returned 58.57% of the votes. cheering. ..has attained the requisite majority of the electorate and is duly elected as president of the republic of malawi. cheering and applause. malawi's current president has been in power since 2014, but since he cast his ballot in the fresh poll, he has also complained of irregularities. but some of the governing party's election monitors have been attacked by the opposition, with 15 now missing. sadly, as all malawians have seen, this election is the worst in malawi's history

of our elections. the opposition has denied the allegations. peter mutharika has not yet called for the vote to be annulled, instead asking malawians to move on peacefully. some are seeing that as a sign that the president may now be willing to move on himself. whatever happens next, these fresh elections have been viewed by some as a key test case for malawi and the african continent in the powers of the courts to tackle electoral fraud and restrain presidential power. reged ahmad, bbc news. to discuss this historic win in more depth is our correspondent emmanuel igunza, who joins us now live. how significant a moment is this for malawi, but also for africa? well, it isa malawi, but also for africa? well, it is a very significant moment for malawi and many of them over the last 13 months since the disputed

polls in may 2019 where annulled, have been waiting for this moment to have been waiting for this moment to have a president who will govern the country. and we have seen lots of the protests that have been going on in the country, we have seen thousands of people rallying across the country, calling for a fairer poll, and for them today is a significant moment, finally that their hope has been happened and this election has taken place and they have a new president. but also significantly for the quantity, it shows some of the institutions judicially and also the... counts some of the pressures we see from the representative, we have seen the elections in the north african continent only twice, in canyon 2017 and now in malawi. they did face a lot of pressure from the presidency, the judiciary, lot of pressure from the presidency, thejudiciary, back then lot of pressure from the presidency, the judiciary, back then and stood

up the judiciary, back then and stood up to that pressure, but also the electoral commission, which came in quite a few weeks before the election and then holding this historical action. for many, this is a sign that democracy can win on the african continent. there are interesting, thank you very much indeed. voting is taking place in poland in the country's delayed presidential election. andrzej duda — a close ally of president trump — is hoping to win a second term to carry on his conservative agenda. his main challenger is the mayor of warsaw, the orginal ballot was postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic. the bbc‘s adam easton is in warsaw and following developments. the reason this election is important is because in poland the president can veto legislation, so that is why it is crucial for the nationalist law and justice government, whose ally is the incumbent, andrzej duda, which is why it is crucial for them to govern freely that president

andrzej duda is re—elected. he is seen as the guardian of the government's policies. some of those are very popular policies, for example his very generous welfare benefits to families, senior citizens and tax breaks for young people, which is extremely popular. 0n the other hand, some of their policies are very controversial. they have been criticised by the european union and by the opposition, the politicisation, for example, of the public media and of the judiciary. president andrzej duda during this campaign has talked about lgbtq rights and has talked about that being an ideology, not a group of people, which is something that has been widely criticised, both here by the opposition, but also by the european union, so if president duda is re—elected he has vowed to continue some

so if president duda is re—elected the government has vowed to continue some of those more controversial policies, such as the attempt to control the judiciary, and that could lead to continued problems with the eu. 0n the other hand, if an opposition candidate were to be elected, he, and it is a he in this case because all 11 candidates in this race are men, would be able to control the government to a certain extent because he would be able to veto their legislation and the government does not have a majority in parliament sufficient to overturn that presidential veto. adam easton from warsaw for the bbc there. the rolling stones have said that donald trump could face legal action if he continues to use their songs at his campaign rallies. a statement from the band's legal team said it was working with the performing rights organisation, the bmi, to stop the unauthorised use of their music. previous cease and desist letters. as gail maclellan reports, the president has already ignored previous cease and desist letters.

#i'm a ghost! # living in a ghost town! # i'm a ghost. ..# living in a ghost town, the latest single from veteran rock band, the rolling stones. the release fast—tracked because of its relevance to social distancing. # when i can't be found...# but this is not the only stones song making its mark on uncertain times in 2020. # you can't always get what you want. ..# you can't always get what you want, a favourite at president trump's rallies. when the song featured in the president's election campaign in 2016, the band tweeted, "the rolling stones do not "endorse donald trump." and last week, after it was used at the president's rally in tulsa at oklahoma, the rolling stones took further steps to stop the song being used again. together with performing rights organisation bmi, they have threatened the president with legal action.

the trump campaign has also used songs by adele, queen and rem, despite those artists' objections, and last week the family of tom petty issued a cease and desist notice to donald trump's administration, after i won't back down was played at the president's tulsa rally, saying in a statement that the artist would never want a song of his used for a campaign of hate. you can't always get what you want was released by the group in 1969. cheering and applause if the rolling stones and the bmi have their way, president trump might find the 50—year—old lyrics speak more about his future, one in which he "can't "get no satisfaction. gail maclellan, bbc news. there's been plenty of gardening going on during the lockdown — and now the duchess of cambridge has mucked in. she helped with some planting during a visit to a children's hospice in norfolk —

as leigh milner reports. the duchess of cambridge wasn't afraid to get her hands or her dress dirty when she helped families create a special garden at this children's hospice in norwich. run by east anglian children's hospices, the nook was opened last year by catherine to support families caring for children with life—threatening illnesses — families like lisa and liam page and their three—month—old son, connor. born with severe brain damage, he came to the hospice for end—of—life care. you've got to dig them in now! with the help of some fellow gardeners, the duchess hand—picked the plants during a trip to fakenham garden centre near her norfolk home of anmer hall. she chose strong smelling plants like lavender and herbs for the sensory garden, and planted a sunflower in memory of a little boy whose brother raised more than £18,000 for the hospice that cared for him

shortly before he died. as the emblem of hospice care, families were given sunflower seeds to plant, just like her own children who've been racing to see whose will grow the fastest, with prince louis currently in the lead. leigh milner, bbc news. let's return now to a pledge by the uk prime minister, that the government will "not go back to the austerity of ten years ago". in an interview with the mail on sunday, borisjohnson set out plans to speed up major building projects in an attempt to help the economy's recovery. 0ur political correspondent nick eardley is here. we have been hearing for the home secretary? yes, a big theme for the government this week is going to be how they try to get the economy in the uk back on track. we know there is going to be a gradual easing of the lockdown across the uk, starting

in england next weekend when hospitality gets back under way. borisjohnson is hospitality gets back under way. boris johnson is going hospitality gets back under way. borisjohnson is going to talk on tuesday about making sure that infrastructure projects happen quickly to get the economy back, moving as quickly as possible as this crisis starts to ease. the home secretary, priti patel, has been speaking this morning as well about how, as england comes out of lockdown, it needs to be down in a careful and sensible way. have a listen to priti patel. well, i think it is right about that we are conscientious about concerns of another wave. i have spoken about this very publicly previously around measures at the border, in fact, air travel in particular. we have to be very conscientious about the risk of a second wave. i think nothing would be more damaging for our country and out be more damaging for our country and our economy be more damaging for our country and our economy if we do have a second spike or a second wave, which is why we are taking a very measured approach. it is measured, pragmatic

and responsible and it is also guided by much of the science and advice from sage. many of the advisors across other government departments and those individuals advising government centrally. we have heard a lot about balance, about the balancing of the economic dangers with the health dangers and clearly bigger government thinks here that it needs to start moving, start getting things going again, but there is this fear among opposition parties that by encouraging people back to work and by ending thejob encouraging people back to work and by ending the job support scheme that has been available in the uk gradually over the next few months, that you risk a situation where people who had been supported by the state, once they don't have that support, businesses willjust lay them off, essentially. the labour party this morning has been warning that if that happens, if there isn't enough support, you could end up with mass unemployment. have a listen to the shadow business secretary, ed miliband. you know, we've already got

2.8 million people claiming unemployment— related benefits. i fear thatcher—levels of unemployment. and yet, and yet the government can't carry on supporting that number of jobs, 9 millionjobs. it's not going to be 9 million. but it's not going to be 9 million. and here's the thing, here's the thing, you've got to have a bridge between the end of the furlough and a proper job creation programme. and so there are two things that are problematic at the moment. one is the precipitate decision on the furlough and secondly, why in goodness' name are we not having a budget this summer? we've got potentially the worst economic recession in 300 years and the treasury is deciding they're not going to have a budget. let us have a budget that creates those jobs, but don't leave people falling into an abyss between the end of the furlough and those jobs being created. ed miliband therefore labour party. also very interesting in the mail on sunday the prime minister has done an interview, and has been

photographed doing press ups in his office, showing he is, as fit as in his words, a butcher's dog. yes, there were questions asked about his health after having come back from a serious bout of coronavirus and he is saying he is absolutely fine. i don't think i'd ever seen a prime minister doing press ups before, i have seen them out running to check try to show their fitness levels, but clearly borisjohnson prefers the theatrical approach sometimes. he is saying he is absolutely fine, he has got a newborn son and has been up in the middle of the night feeding him and changing nappies, trying to get the impression he is on top of things. but this week, i suspect there was an element of metaphor involved in that picture and he wants to persuade us all he can get the economy fighting fit as well. there are still questions on that. yes, so the mail on sunday and interviews about his own health and the health of the economy. thank you very much, nick adley there, our political correspondent with the

latest on the government's plans. you have been watching bbc news. hello, for some of us today if you can put up with the wind there will be sunny spells, you may catch a shower or not, but for others there will be persistent and at times heavy rain as well. a big weather contrast across the uk, just depending on how close you are to this area of low pressure, through parts of scotland, northern ireland and north—west england is where it is looking wet is today. brighter skies elsewhere, isobars close together and a blustery day, windy than yesterday. this is how it looks in the afternoon, wettest in northern ireland in the west, north wales and snowdonia and into north—west england, especially the pennines and the lake district, which is where we will see most of the gusts will be 30—a0 mph for many

others, in some parts of scotland and north—west england it could be approaching 50 mph. some sunny spells down south, with a few spots creeping down and the low 20s. but... eastern parts of scotland and north—east england will have plenty of cloud, and you may well see a bit of cloud, and you may well see a bit of patchy rain occasionally, but they will also be some dry spells and just 1a the top temperature in many parts of scotland today. we will keep leaving going tonight, where the gay has been said they wet, but it winds down tomorrow, but the higher parts of lancashire may well have over 100 millimetres up to by then, the risk of flooding in some disruption as a result, temperatures staying down. maybe not quite as windy tomorrow, but still very blustery out there for the time of year. we will see some more rain, where and where it has been so wet

for the past 2a hours, but it will ease down gradually for the day and turning drier. more cloud for southern england compared with today, and look at this, last week we had temperatures in the 30s, but on monday it doesn't look like anyone will be getting into the 20s. 0n anyone will be getting into the 20s. on tuesday, low pressure if only we can push is afterward scandinavia and more weather fronts can push is afterward scandinavia and more weatherfronts pushing into the 7/2 of the uk will produce cloud and patchy rain, some rain at times, but not all the time and windy, and other call for the time of year. —— by the cooler for the time of year.
