european holiday destinations. and coming up in sportsday: arsenal leaves it late to book their place in the fa cup semifinals. as global infections from coronavirus pass 10 million, a leading scientist advising number 10 says the uk is on a knife edge in the pandemic and he expects a rise cases in the coming weeks. professor sirjeremy farrar, who's a member of the government's sage advisory committee, also told the bbc he also expects a second wave of infections in the winter. the latest figures show that, in the last 24—hour period, 36 more people died having contracted the virus in the uk.

that takes the total number of deaths to 15,550. it comes as the home secretary, priti patel, says the government is considering imposing a localised lockdown on leicester after a surge of coronavirus cases in the city. our health correspondent, richard galpin, has the latest. leicester city, home to hundreds of thousands of people, a large, diverse community, enjoying the freedoms brought about by the government's increasing easing of lockdown restrictions. but now the government is considering tougher restrictions in the city to prevent new infections. that's because, in the first two weeks ofjune, there was a surge of new cases, 658 in total — that's around a quarter of all cases in the city during this pandemic. the labour mp for leicester east says at least five schools and a supermarket have already been

closed down after staff there tested positive. i don't think we should take that risk, i think we should put lives first, and therefore i believe absolutely that we need to protect the residents, protect lives and we need to install a local lockdown, if that is what it means. the local authority has requested help to increase the numbers of people being tested for the virus. this vital for getting the outbreak under control. the government is also promising other assistance. there will be support going into leicester and in fact the health secretary was in touch with many of us over the weekend explaining some of the measures, the support on testing, resources that will go into the local authority as well. in the city, some believe it is too early to talk about having a lockdown without pinning down exactly where the problem lies. after many weeks of asking, we now have that data, we are analysing it over this weekend and hopefully early

next week we will know whether we have got a problem, and, if we have, where it is. the discussion about what happens in leicester could be a foretaste of what may happen with increasing frequency across the country as the government continues to lift the lockdown. pubs and restaurants in england are due to open next weekend. the next few months are absolutely critical. the numbers are lower but the virus hasn't changed and, come the winter, come the reopening of schools, which is absolutely critical, we can anticipate to see rebounds and second waves. in a statement, the department of health said it was supporting the council and local partners in leicester to help prevent further transmission of the virus, and this included providing thousands of home testing kits. richard galpin, bbc news. borisjohnson says the uk will "build" its way out of the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic, with infrastructure projects for schools, hospitals and transport. the full details will be set out in a speech on tuesday, but labour says the government's

response to the virus, has also been putting jobs at risk. our political correspondent jessica parker reports. boris johnson doing press—ups as he also tries to get the economy into shape. speaking to the mail on sunday about coronavirus, he said, this has been a huge, huge shock to the country, but we are going to bounce back very well. we want to build our way back to health. and to do it, some familiar themes. we are going to unite and level up. new schools, hospitals and transport schemes. ministers are trying to motor the economy along. hospitality opening up next weekend in england. there has been a great deal of work across government in terms of investing in the hospitality sector, so pubs, restaurants, bars, to get them reopened, it is all part of the roadmap that the government has outlined. as lockdown has eased, it seems borisjohnson is trying to get his political agenda

back on track. a big speech this week, a new task force called project speed to deliver on infrastructure projects, a bid to revitalise the economy and, after a challenging few months, where downing street has at times been on the back foot, perhaps a bid to revitalise his administration as well. but labour says some businesses will need more support, warning, without it, unemployment could reach levels not seen since the 1980s. the prime minister, he's very good at words, he's very good at the big, grand promises, the world—beating test and trace system that was going to be in place by the 1st ofjune, all of the other promises he's made, the problem is, there is a grand canyon between his rhetoric and the reality. supporting the economy through covid has already cost billions. i think we ordered four of everything on your menu.

..can be easier than making it happen. the full list of countries which will no longer be subject to coronavirus quarantine restrictions is expected to be confirmed by the government this week. it's set to include spain, which is the number one destination for uk holiday—makers. damian grammaticus reports now from the costa del sol. on the costa del sol, the sardines are sizzling, ready on the barbecue. but there are no people packed into the sunbeds, not until travel restrictions are lifted. this woman is a nurse. now spain's covid—19 cases have declined, she is running the family restaurant for the summer, hoping british tourists will be back soon. translation: the costa del sol is all about tourism. everybody knows that. it is what we live off. we want them to come,

we are really, really keen. the opening of air corridors will allow those in the uk who really want a holiday to have one and resorts here, which are so dependent on tourism, to salvage something of the summer. but some are worried that allowing thousands back in untested could bring the virus back. those who come will find masks have to be worn. compulsory anywhere, you can't keep a metre and a half from other people. you can be fined 100 euros if you don't have one. on arrival, tourists will have to give hotel and contact details, but they won't have to have blood tests to show they're covid free, just a temperature check at the airport. professor eduardo martinez believes that is not sufficient to protect spain. it is not enough, in my opinion. the mobility of the population is the vehicle

that the virus uses to move and spread. inland, almost empty too is the alhambra palace, one of spain's biggest attractions. distancing and masks are a must here as well. we found just a trickle of visitors. for me, it's an incredible feeling. but at the same time, i'm feeling a little bit sad because this is the consequence of a terrible pandemic. and it is a sadness that won't be lifted until spain is filled with visitors and life once more. damian grammaticas, bbc news. the cabinet secretary, sir mark sedwell, is standing down as cabinet secretry and national security adviser. this has been talked about for

several weeks, it was an unhappy situation for mark sedwill in his post since being appointed by natalie cornah. 0ur political correspondent, jessica parker, is here. —— theresa may. -- theresa may. it's happening, why? mark sedwill and borisjohnson exchanging letters confirming that there has been considerable speculation over the recent days and weeks that mark sedwill, unusual for one person to hold both roles, he will leave them and stay in place until the end of september. 0ne will leave them and stay in place until the end of september. one of the things that we heard from boris johnson's administration before coronavirus was this discussion around unhappiness about the way whitehall operates and that they wa nted whitehall operates and that they wanted to shake things up and rewire the place and mark said will was appointed by theresa may, boris

johnson's predecessor. since coronavirus that has been unhappiness in downing street about the way whitehall operates. fresh impetus to rewire things. sir mark said stepping down he has sent a letter to boris johnson said stepping down he has sent a letter to borisjohnson this evening. we have had sight of it 110w. evening. we have had sight of it now. he says, while the combined model was the right tenure, you will need to separate national security adviser, therefore we have agreed i will stand down and leave government service at the end of september. i will of course support you wholeheartedly mean well. and he thanks so mark sedwill for his service. some people might be wondering who the cabinet secretary is and what they do and why they are so is and what they do and why they are so important. this is the uk's top civil servant in charge of 40,000 others, the person who sits next to borisjohnson in others, the person who sits next to boris johnson in cabinet others, the person who sits next to borisjohnson in cabinet meetings,

as his chief adviser in terms of civil servants, a hugely important powerfulfigure. civil servants, a hugely important powerful figure. it is about control, though, isn't it? this downing street operation is regarded as one that wants to have control and after winning the 80 strong majority there was the sense that they had a lot of power at their disposal and i think there will be speculation to borisjohnson and his tea m speculation to borisjohnson and his team will want their own manner number 10 but this is a uk civil servant role, it will be very interesting to see who replaces him as cabinet secretary and national security adviser. i'm just hearing that boris johnson security adviser. i'm just hearing that borisjohnson has asked mark sedwill to lead a new g7 panel and also nominated him for a life peerage, so there is a reward for the past two years. but would it be fairto the past two years. but would it be fair to say that the prime minister's main adviser, dominic cummings, is particularly angry about the way whitehall is running

at the moment and this would be part of his desire to bring the hard rain he was talking about two whitehall? i think dominic cummings' view that whitehall needs reform, that you need to look at different types of people to come in and work on the government machine, you might remember when he blogged about advertising for misfits and widows to come and work at the operation, thatis to come and work at the operation, that is well known. i think there will be a lot of speculation that this is all about number 10 trying to rework government, adding to that we know for example she will reshape the committee system. there may be resista nce the committee system. there may be resistance to this, but looking at how the government has responded to coronavirus and how whitehall has responded what can be improved in order to streamline the delivery of

projects. civil service reform is not something people are necessarily talking about down the pub when indeed the pubs reopen, but... saturday. but clearly it something that this government regards as important for the implementation of their policies. it will be interesting to see if they manage to reform the civil service over the next few years, does it make a difference in terms of delivery? when you look at the last few months though, how unhappy a time has so mark sedwill had? because talking to a lot of commentators, it sounds as if he has been pushed into making this decision. there is a whiz power play going on in downing street and clearly for a ny play going on in downing street and clearly for any civil servant or any seniorfigure for there clearly for any civil servant or any senior figure for there to be ongoing speculation about the future is not a comfortable position to behan, and is not the first running between this government and the civil servant. he has appointed

david frost, a name widely in the frame, to be his national security adviser. david frost in charge of brexit negotiations. he still has thatjob to do. brexit negotiations. he still has that job to do. it would be another twin cab. we have to get clarification on that. the government has been adamant they will not extend the transition period so presumably they did not wa nt period so presumably they did not want negotiations to run on into late autumn because that would not be time to do that anyway so we will have to look at the timing of that so it's feasible that david frost could stepping in the autumn if negotiations are completed by then but currently he is the chief brexit negotiator. as you say, that deadline either extending the period with europe is passing, by the end of next month. this month. but there is still plenty of negotiations to do so is still plenty of negotiations to dosoi is still plenty of negotiations to do so i don't think negotiations in terms of david frost are over, so i

don't know the exact date they will ta ke don't know the exact date they will take over but mark sedwill will stay in post until the end of september, but that's an interesting appointment and something that has been widely speculated on.|j appointment and something that has been widely speculated on. i am getting a press notice, shall i let you look at your phone as well? mark sedwill is announcing he is standing down, we knew that, letters to the prime minister, talk us through this. when my predecessorfollow your predecessor asked me to step in as cabinet secretary. i have had direct experience of the outstanding service, this is from the prime minister to sir mark, you have given to this government and country as a whole. it has been a massive contribution but as pm i have particularly appreciated your calm and shrewd advice. and i don't think there is any sort of suggestion to mark sedwill did a really bad job necessarily. there is praise there from the prime minister clearly. but i think number 10 have

wa nt s ha ke wa nt shake david want shake david a ant to shake things up, david frost a close ally lli; minister close ally of the prime minister david —— borisjohnson and it seems number 10 want to get their own people in there, people who share that their views. but yet they have to go to the normal protocol. i'm looking at the statement. the first civil servant commissioner shortly to launch a competition to appoint a new cabinet secretary. there will be due process. in the usual channels. i don't think we will hear who the new cabinet secretary will be imminently. it is worth emphasising that that is an incredibly important role, the uk's top civil servant, a man who sits next to borisjohnson in the cabinet room during meetings although they have all been virtual recently, they really are at the very heart of the downing street operation, they are there to advise

and enforce what the prime minister wa nts to and enforce what the prime minister wants to do with his policy agenda. i think perhaps that is another reason why borisjohnson wants to appoint somebody else to the role. they have been run and with boris johnson appointing somebody who so mark accused of leaking information a few years ago, but let's discuss that with our next guest. sebastian payne is whitehall correspondent at the financial times and has been following the story closely. it is eventually happened, what do you make of it? it's an announcement is not surprising, ever since boris johnson came into downing street last summer, there has been speculation that mark sedwill‘s time would come to an end as cabinet secretary but when boris johnson first became there were reports they we re first became there were reports they were getting on well and he might stay around longer because there was talk he was going to be our man in

washington but then relations have deteriorated over the past couple of months from what i have been picking up months from what i have been picking up on, the simple fact that particularly during the coronavirus crisis, sir mark has clashed with dominic comments, boris johnson's primary advisor, and other people in downing street and there was an attempt made to remove so much from his position in may but then that was called off at the last moment and then as we see today it has been announced. the crucial thing for people to know is first of all these two positions, cabinet secretary, sir humphrey appleby character, the most senior civil servant in the country, the person who always has the heir of the prime minister and is in charge of the whole british state, a very influential powerful position, but the other rolled mark sedwill had as national security adviser is also similarly powerful and influential and for quite some time now people in whitehall have

been saying, is it right for one person to have both of these roles with all of that responsibility? reports have been going back until march. none of this is a huge surprise but it does signal the borisjohnson surprise but it does signal the boris johnson and his surprise but it does signal the borisjohnson and his government are really serious about reforming the civil service in whitehall. and you talk about the clashes between dominic cummings and mark sedwill was mark sedwill publicly opposed to reform or did he say, a lot of reform or did he say, a lot of reform does need to take place? he has actually said that. civil serva nts has actually said that. civil servants out there to advise and guide ministers as we know not to make those decisions but the feeling within mrjohnson's in a circle over the past couple of weeks and months is that if they do want to see this big reform, a hard rain will fall on parts of whitehall, that they clearly felt that sir mark was an impediment to that, he is a lifelong

civil servant who served in the home 0ffice civil servant who served in the home office in many different roles throughout the civil service in his time there, and the big question is who will replace him now on the national security site? we know that will be david frost who is currently boris johnson's brexit adviser. will be david frost who is currently borisjohnson's brexit adviser. he will move into being the prime minister's advise on all things security and the process will begin for recruiting a new cabinet secretary which will probably happen sometime later in the year. that will be due process, they will launch a competition for that position, but do we know who number 10 would like in that post? it's too early to say that. when sirjeremy heywood, the last cabinet secretary, died two years ago, theresa may put mark sedwill in that role straightaway. that we have been told by the cabinet office on sunday afternoon that they will follow due process and the recruitment on this.

but the question will be, is it a lifelong civil servant, someone like mark sedwill, or the government in fa ct mark sedwill, or the government in fact bring someone entirely different and, an outsider to lead the civil service which might speak to that reform agenda? that's the big question there. but again this really shows us that borisjohnson's government, the one that won the general election in december, is very different to the conservative government of 2010—19, the fact they have got rid of the cabinet secretary and are bringing other people and does show the big fundamental changes coming to westminster, whitehall and the whole of the british state. with an 80 seat majority in december as you say. david frost will take over one of those roles. of course number 10 is all about big egos and control, we have talked about the clashes and personalities, but when you look at how warm it seems at face value,

these exchanges of letters between sedwill and johnson, do we take those at face value or not? the fact that this announcement was rushed forward , that this announcement was rushed forward, the financial times reported this afternoon the announcement was due on monday, reports on the sunday telegraph that could come as early as monday as well, and the fact this has all been done at on a sunday shows it is a rushed announcement here, so for whatever reason downing street have decided to accelerate this whole process here. i think the fact that so mark is getting a peerage which is given to all former cabinet secretaries and borisjohnson has created this new role on the g7 to allow sir mark to still be involved in the government in some form, but the simple fact is there has clearly been a falling out between boris johnson's in a circle and the lifelong civil servant here, and it's all about reform and trying to achieve the things he wants to get

donein achieve the things he wants to get done in his next five is in government. he is quite young so potentially a career in the private sector at some stage with that sort of experience! thank you very much indeed. let's go back to coronavirus now. the lockdown has been hard for many people who have a child that needs round—the—clock care. and although many hospices have had to cut back on their usual services, staff have been finding new ways to give parents a much—needed break. lorna gordon reports. shielding in their garden and making the most of the good weather. mum and dad alexis and jamie and their three sons, grayson, brodie and ellis. when ellis was five months old, he started getting bleeds on the brain because of what turned out to be a genetic abnormality. it lead to strokes. he now needs round—the—clock care. day—to—day is pretty tough, generally. and... to have all of the challenges that

lockdown brings with it in addition to obviously our normal, day—to—day, crazy routine. and the problem with lockdown for us has not necessarily been ellis's condition. it has been managing everything else alongside of that. in normal times, ellis would receive respite care in a children's hospice every couple of months. during the pandemic, the hospice has been coming to him. giving mum and dad a chance to spend some time with their other children, while leaving ellis in safe hands. today's activity — art. it is so rewarding, kind of thing, when he does give you feedback and he vocalises and is keen to, tolerates what you are doing with him and gives you facial expressions and smiles and for him it is nice to spend that time and do some sensory craft activities. for the past three months, stays at the two centres run by the charity children's hospices across scotland, or chas, have been limited to emergencies and end—of—life care. as lockdown restrictions ease,

it is still a long road back to normal routines for many families whose children have life shortening conditions. families are scared to kind of move forward too quickly and they are always going to be behind everyone else in going back out into the community and we have had some families saying that they don't want their kids going to school, it is too scary, so i can see that we will be helping to support them to keep their kids at home. what would you hope for the future, then? that we just continue to reach more families across scotland. # ah! #ah!# families supported by hospices at home are now during this crisis a hospice that is virtual. 10—year—old kirsty, who has frequent seizures, taking part in a music session through the hospice online. her mum says it brought joy to all the family. it was fabulous to watch her do it,

via the zoom that it was, and it was a half an hour session, and she was very vocal and whilst he was playing i think she did four different instruments and it was just lovely to see her come back a little bit, and it was nice to then show her gran and grandpa and her other gran that this is what she is like when she gets music therapy because it is hard to get a reaction from her. the opportunity to see their child responding so very much appreciated by ellis‘ parents as well. obviously, we work, you know, playing with him and the likes of fiona and the girls are then interacting with him and responding back, obviously it makes such a positive effect onjamie and i because we are like, "0k, we are still all right." you know? support for families facing challenging times, which are even harder now, and for whom every moment is precious.

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 significant 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. 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. the rolling stones have said that donald trump could face legal action if he continues to use their songs at his campaign rallies. the band is working with the performing rights organisation, the bmi, to stop the unauthorised use of their music. the trump campaign used the song you can't always get what you want
