and we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers — the writer and broadcaster dawn foster, and deputy editor at city am, andy silvester. do stay with us for that. 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. as global infections from coronavirus pass 10 million, a leading scientist advising the british government says the uk is "on a knife edge" in the pandemic, and he expects a rise in 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. great to have you back, for now at least. it almost looks like normal, but about a quarter of all the coronavirus cases leicester has seen have happened in the first two weeks of this month. so, just as this city is opening up, there are reports about it locking back down again in some way. people are heading home after a busy weekend in the shops, but there are real questions to be asked

about what leicester is going to look like next weekend. so, we know that the city council is working with public health officials, going through data on the new cases, asking, are they some kind of cluster, and if so, is it time to bring in new restrictions? the local authority and health officials are meeting tomorrow morning and the top priority will be to map out exactly where the new cases are happening in the city. 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. at the end of the day, if they say they are going to do a lockdown for leicester, what's it going to mean? what about people that commute and stuff? what about people that work outside of leicester that live in leicester? what's going to happen to people like that? it is my dad's birthday next weekend, and we fully planned to see him. obviously not seen him

for months and months. the fact that just for one city, it'sjust our luck, isn't it. i would be gutted, to be completely honest with you. you know, people are looking forward to starting to getting their lives back to normal. we need to go out, but if we have to, we have to, don't we? and all this as across the uk, pubs and bars will open up over the next few weeks. the main advice for people is to stick to social distancing, stay at home where possible and to wash their hands regularly. officials in leicester say the new cases could be partly explained by more testing and that there's been no increase in hospital admissions or deaths. but as lockdown eases, we still have no vaccine or cure for coronavirus, and so, a warning not to be complacent. we're on a knife edge. it's very precarious, the situation, particularly in england at the moment, and i would anticipate we will see an increase in new cases in the coming weeks. the next three 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. lockdown is a blunt tool, easy to start but infinitely harder to come out of. we can possibly expect more local outbreaks and so more difficult decisions in places across the country in the months ahead. catherine burns, bbc news. the uk prime minister says the country will "build" its way out of the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic with infrastructure projects for schools, hospitals and transport. he's to give a speech outlining his plans on tuesday, as jessica parker reports. fighting fit, 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: and to do it, harking back to some familiar themes. we are going to unite and level up.

again, the idea of levelling up, tackling inequality, with a promise of new schools, hospitals and transport schemes. ministers are trying to motor the economy along — hospitality opening up next weekend in england. there's 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's all part of the road map that the government has outlined. as lockdown‘s eased, boris johnson, it seems, 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 byjune 1. all of the other promises he's made. the problem is, there is a grand canyon between his rhetoric and the reality. big projects mean big money, and so, an economist says, more borrowing. the absolute priority is to support the economy and ensure that it starts growing properly again. where they are going to get worried is if in three or four years' time we are still borrowing very large amounts, and at that point, they are going to have to rein in the spending or increase the taxes to bring it under control. supporting the economy through covid has already cost billions. i think we ordered four of everything on your menu! borisjohnson and his chancellor don't appear afraid of big numbers, but ordering something... marinara, margherita... ..can be easier than making it happen.

jessica parker, bbc news. the british government's most senior civil servant, sir mark sedwill, is to leave his post as cabinet secretary. his departure will be seen as a victory for the prime minister's chief adviser, dominic cummings. the civil service union, the fda, said number ten had undermined sir mark with cowardly anonymous briefings and that the government would be weakened by his departure. lord o'donnell was cabinet secretary and head of the civil service from 2005 to 2011. he gave me his reaction to the news. i asked if sir mark relationships with boris johnson should have been closer. i think it's very sad that mark is going, he's a great public servant, came in a very difficult time when my successof was very tragically, very seriously ill and later died. mark brought things together, he's lived through brexit

and covid—19, it's not been easy for him, and i know he's going to move on now to think about having a global security role, which i think plays to his enormous strengths in the security field. we owe him a great debt of gratitude. that looks like a bit of a consolation prize. he has been in thisjob for less than two years, there was a perception that he was very close to theresa may, she trusted him and brought him in from the home office, and perhaps the relationship between borisjohnson and others in his team and sir mark had not been as close as it needs to be. well, they are probably quite a difficult team to work with, to be honest. i wonder about how keen people will be to come next, but there are obvious difficulties. it would be hard at the best of times, and these are not the best of times.

so, if it's not working out, the best thing is to move on, have a proper process, which is really important to decide on the very best person. i understand that is intended and i will look forward to that being carried out and getting on someone who can work with the government to deliver the programme, but also do it objectively and impartially. to say to them, actually, there is no evidence behind this, we should be doing something different and evaluating things. poland's president, andrzej duda, is leading in exit polls after a closely fought election. the first poll gave president duda 42% of the vote. that's 12 percentage points above his closest rival, rafal trzaskowski. if the polls are accurate, the two will face a run—off vote onjuly 12. president duda is an ally of the ruling law and justice party, and if he loses, the opposition could force a big change in polish politics. joining me now from warsaw

is radoslaw fogiel. he's a member of the polish parliament and an advisor to law and justice party leader jaroslaw kaczynski. let me ask you first of all, first of all, thank you for being with us on bbc news. you are supporting your andrzej duda 2020 badge. you have another round of voting to get through, though. is there a sense of disappointment that you couldn't pull it off, despite being the incumbent president and having a record to run off in the first round? good evening, and thank you very much for hosting me. well, it has been a long campaign so far, and we have another two weeks of very ha rd we have another two weeks of very hard campaign work, very hard field work ahead of us, and we are glad with the results that was shown in the exit polls, 42% for president

andrzej duda and just above 3a rafal trzaskowski. but it is still undecided. the decision will be made by polish people in two weeks and this is the time where we need to appeal to voters who voted for other candidates to decide, to clearly decide... not even whom they are supporting for, but which vision of poland's future today do they support. and i suppose that is a difficulty, isn't it? in a sense, post politics, i don't know whether you are from the left or right or don't perceive having that label, people probably accept it has become quite polarised, and in a sense, has become a kind of you are with us or against us, perhaps on both sides. isn't there a danger that people

will end up voting for the person they least light rather than necessarily them voting against the person they least like, not the candidate they would be most enthusiastic about. it has become polarised, similar as in many other countries, the united states for example. so of course there is a possibility that a voting in two weeks will be more like a referendum against one against the other candidate, but we will try to focus on positive messaging, on explaining to people what can we do, what can oui’ to people what can we do, what can our president do for poland, for poland's growth, for poland's sovereignty in the upcoming five yea rs. we sovereignty in the upcoming five years. we would like to avoid people voting against someone or voting for

the lesser evil. we would like to emphasise what good things can we offer. thank you very much for being with us on bbc world news. at least two weeks of hard campaigning. perhaps they will let you have a lie in tomorrow morning. thank you for staying up so late for us. thank you. president donald trump is under increasing bipartisan pressure to set an example by wearing a face mask following a surge in new coronavirus cases in more than half of us states. california's governor has ordered bars in los angeles and some other parts of the state to close because of a spike in cases there. the governor of texas, greg abbott, has also given a warning about the resurgence of coronavirus cases in his state. covid—19 has ta ken covid—19 has taken a very swift and very dangerous turn in texas over just the past few weeks. 0ver just

the past few weeks the daily number of cases has gone from an average of about 2000 to more than 5000 per day. at the same time, hospitalisations have increased from about 2000 per day to more than 5000 per day. he is in charge of the coronavirus task force and mike penn said he is being dispatched by my president trump toa being dispatched by my president trump to a number of key states to try and reinforce the message. there have critics and on friday he had difficulty answering this, answering why donald trump was holding a rally when the message now is to follow the advice of local officials. there

are difficult questions that the administration in the united states has to answer. the speaker of the house of representatives nancy pelosi has called for face masks to be made mandatory. and she urged donald trump to set an example by using one. this was the message from the vice president mike pence. where a mask. wherever it is indicated or wherever you are unable to pray is the kind of social distance thing that would prevent spread of coronavirus. and we strongly reiterate that today. i know that roughly half the state is under local ordinances and i strongly recommend that local officials and consorts patient with the state, that if they recommend you use a mask, that you use a mask in affected areas and if you cannot maintain social distance, wearing a mask is a good idea. the headlines on bbc news:

the uk government considers reimposing some coronavirus restrictions in the city of leicester, because of a surge of cases there. prime minister borisjohnson sets out his plans to build his way to economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. and poland's presidential election heads to second round as the incumbent — andrzej duda — fails to win an outright majority. president trump has provoked an outcry by retweeting a video of one of his supporters shouting "white power". the tweet has since been deleted, and the white house said mr trump had not heard what it called ‘the statement‘ in the video. the retweet was condemned by many, including the republican party's only black senator tim scott. speaking on cbs, senator scott described the video as "offensive" and the retweet ‘inappropiate'. i live in a city where the civil war started and i am thankful that the

people of charleston have evolved as a people and that is a great thing. the truth of the matter is when you hear things like that, a racist chant of white power, we should have the same response in the same type of energy that we had before those folks we know who have been disadvantaged for so long. we should stand up and say that is not right. that is what i am saying now full of thatis that is what i am saying now full of that is not right. that is not the entire clip nor the conversation, that was a terrible display that i saw in that video. i watched the whole video before i came on the show. the whole thing was terrible. 0ur north america correspondent peter bowes told me the president shared the controversial video on his twitter feed before deleting it. yes, he retweeted this video at 7:30am, sunday morning, washington time, and it stayed for about three hours before it was eventually deleted and he provoked an outcry, we just heard a response typical of what people are saying on social medias.

and just to explain exactly what this was, this was a video of a golf cart rally from residents retirement home, the villages, which president trump had in fact visited last year. they had some banners saying trump 2020 and america first and they were confronted by protesters who accused him of being racist and of being nazis, and it was the response of one of the people in one of the golf carts raising his fist and saying "white power" that of course is so offensive to so many people, a phrase we often hear from white supremacists. we've also had a response from the white house saying that president trump did not hear the one statement in the video, but what he did see he says, or what the white house says, is tremendous support from those people at that retirement centre. in a week where the anniversary of the handover of hong kong from the uk to china will be marked,

beijing is asserting its authority, and is expected to pass a new security law. activists in hong kong say it will destroy their long held freedoms. but china says it's necessary for security after a year of protest. danny vincent has been assessing the mood. in today's hong kong, police pre—empt protest. and incoming national security law could make demonstrations like this a thing of the past. hong kong has never had a national security law. but under a new proposal only a few people in beijing have seen, undermining the authority of the central government will be a criminal offence. this city has seen a year of protest, sparked by a now withdrawn extradition bill. cathy was a police

officer holding the line. she became disillusioned and quick. translation: the police had a special role that can be replaced by armed forces. it is one of the reasons i joined the armed forces. it is one of the reasons ijoined the police force. but the differences between police and the citizens cannot be reconciled stop these are the questions i asked myself about continuing. the actions of the protesters forced beige and to propose the national security law. the new national security law will help to —— restore law and order in hong kong. we have had a year of chaos and mayhem violence and many in hong kong do not look forward to renewed instability. many fear that the way of life in hong kong is about to change forever. coco chan i’u ns

about to change forever. coco chan runs a pro—democracy desert shop with her husband. she also holds a british national overseas passport. the british government has said it would be a path for holders to resettle in the uk if china was to enact the law. translation: we do not want to leave hong kong. we have oui’ not want to leave hong kong. we have our roots in hong kong. we love hong kong so much. that is why we are protesters. we fight together with the younger generation in order to liberate hong kong. but we have a contingency plan and an opportunity to leave. hong kong was promised certain freedoms not enjoyed in the rest of china. for half a century after the handover. but this global city is bracing for change. every year, images of animals in cages at china's infamous yulin festival spark a debate about the ethics of eating dog meat. thanks to changing attitudes

and covid—19, this year's event — which ends on tuesday — could be the last. in april china's agriculture ministry reclassified dogs as pets, rather than livestock. around the same time, shenzhen and zhuhai became the first chinese cities to ban the consumption of dog and cat meat. dr peter li is a china policy specialist at humane society international and hejoins me now from houston. thank you for being with us on bbc world news. could i ask you first of all, how has the festival gone this year? has it been significantly smaller? we spoke to our contacts in mainland china and they went there in the last 12 weeks and reported back saying that the scale of the sales was no different to previous yea rs sales was no different to previous years and, in fact, we believe the scale of the sale is smaller. in

terms of the attitudes towards the consumption of dog meat, notwithstanding what officials do in terms of designation, is it still a favoured source of food for many chinese people? as a matter of fact there is a missed perception regarding consumption in china stop the majority of people do not eat dog meat and that's why it was so offensive to the rest of the country. we did a survey in 2016 and 70% of people in mainland china have never eaten dog meat but the eating habit, it has been promoted by the military leaders. it has been effectively supported their locally so effectively supported their locally so the re— designation could help. might covid—19 also have an impact? there is a debate and a new suggest that the virus might not have come

from dogs but there is a risk about live animals in markets and the danger of cross infection from animals into humans. has that created uneasy in itself was mark absolutely. the chinese dog meat industry has been sustained by a host of illegal activities, for example a note —— large number of dogs are stolen from the street and ownership to the market. these dogs are physically and mentally impacted and the immune system has been damaged. so for a large number of numbers concentrated in a small space that could be another breeding ground for a pandemic outbreak. and briefly, are you optimistic that this festival will be the last? not so this festival will be the last? not so optimistic on that particular point but i would say that the festival is not going to last for

ever. especially when the chinese government recognise dogs as companions and i see positive signs in china. thank you very much for being with us on bbc world news. two illegal st parties have been broken up during another night of unlawful gatherings on saturday stop dispersal zones have been put in place to clear crowds causing disruption on saturday night. zones allow officers extra powers to order people to leave the area and not return. these unlicensed music events a re return. these unlicensed music events are unlawful and unregulated and met as officers will close them down.

taiwan has hosted one of the world's few gay pride marches at a time when most countries have cancelled such festivities because of the coronavirus pandemic. more than 200 people, some wearing rainbow face masks gathered at liberty square in taipei, saying they were "marching for the world" during the lgbt pride season. the island has seen only seven coronavirus deaths. and we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers. that's coming up after the headlines at 11:30. now it's time for a look at the weather. it certainly feels like summer has come to an abrupt end, hasn't it? notjust come to an abrupt end, hasn't it? not just the outbreaks come to an abrupt end, hasn't it? notjust the outbreaks of rain and fresh air but also the blustery wind and more of the same to come on monday and then through the course of the week perhaps thundery showers on the way. this is what it looks like on the satellite picture. a big low pressure sitting top of us, there for a little while and it will stick around through most of monday

and the weather front spiralling into the centre of that low pressure, a lot of isobars there, a pressure, a lot of isobars there, a pressure gradient that means the wind races into the centre of that low hence it is gusty out there. and this is what looks through the early hours of monday stop the heaviest of the rain has been around the north—west of england, cumbria, lancashire and parts of the pennines they got a real dose of rain a flood warning in place around keswick. 0ver monday we will see further heavy spells of rain in the north but in the afternoon it looks as if that will give way to sunshine and showers and another blustery day as gusts of wind in some places will reach a0 miles an hour, near gale force for the time of the year. temperature is below the average. around 15 degrees there for glasgow and possibly reaching 19 in london. 0n and possibly reaching 19 in london. on tuesday, the jet stream pushes another system in our direction, an area of low pressure not quite as developed as the one we have across

right now but it will bring cloud and outbreaks of rain in the morning in the south and to the north i think this is where the focus will be as far as weather goes, heavy showers, some of them thundery across parts of scotland and maybe the north of england. temperatures again for many of us around the mid— high teens full of that was tuesday and this is wednesday. outbreaks of rain in the morning and the south clearing away giving way to sunshine and then showers will start to develop quite widely across the uk during the course of wednesday afternoon. temperatures around 17— 20 celsius with the wind a little lighterfrom 20 celsius with the wind a little lighter from tuesday onwards. this is the summery for the week ahead. a mixed bag across the uk. sometimes brightness and showers and the temperatures may gently creep up towards the end of the week.

hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at monday morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines: ministers consider reimposing some coronavirus restrictions in leicester because of a surge of cases there. with local flare—ups, it is right that we have a localised solution in terms of infection control, social distancing, testing. borisjohnson sets out his plans to build his way to economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.
