plan to rebuild the uk after the coronavirus crisis. the prime minister pledges to "build, build, build" on hospitals, roads, and schools — delivering jobs, skills and infrastructure. this is the moment to be ambitious and to believe in britain. to rise to the scale of the challenge and the opportunity. well, the prime minister promised a new deal but there's not much that's new and it's not much of a deal. and a playful dig — as the prime minister promises to get britain building. when you're in a hole the size of this, the only option is to keep digging. we'll be analysing the prime minister's

plans for the economy, and getting reaction from westminster. also this lunchtime... people in leicester are told to stay at home, shut the shops, and close the schools — the city's mayor criticises a lack of government information. i'll be frank, we were a little surprised, because at the time, we had no data to suggest to us that there were particular issues in our city. china formally adopts a controversial security law, giving it new powers over hong kong — and deepening fears for its freedoms. and... he's going to need a bigger pool — olympic gold—medallist adam peaty calls for all swimming pools to re—open as soon as possible. and coming up in sport on bbc news, the head of the premier league denies responsibility for some of the celebrations which got out of hand when liverpool won the title.

good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. borisjohnson has announced his plans to help the economy recover from the impact of coronavirus. he's bringing forward £5 billion of infrastructure spending — including on hospital maintenance and road projects — and promising the most radical reforms of the planning system since the end of the second world war. speaking in the west midlands, the prime minister said the country could not continue to be ‘a prisoner of the crisis‘. labour has accused him of offering nothing new and rehashing manifesto pledges. here's our political correspondent iain watson. i washed my hands on the way in. after his handling of the coronavirus crisis, borisjohnson wa nts to coronavirus crisis, borisjohnson wants to shift the political ground onto the economy. when you are in a hole the size of this, keep digging. about he promised to direct more

cash today to areas in england that feel overlooked. that it wants to see a boom in building project he hopes in turn will also please people who voted for his party for the first time in 2019. this government is determined to use this crisis finally to tackle this country's greater unresolved challenges of the last three decades. to build the homes, to fix the nhs, to solve social care, to tackle the skills crisis, to unite and level up. and to that end we will build, build, build. he is promising to bring forward 5 billion p promising to bring forward 5 billion p worth of projects, maintaining and improving hospital buildings, repairing schools and colleges, upgrading some roads and bridges and, to provide a green tinge, planting 75,000 and, to provide a green tinge, planting 75, 000 trees and, to provide a green tinge, planting 75,000 trees each year. the prime minister is comparing all this to franklin d roosevelt's new deal,

policies which lifted the usa out of the great depression in the 1930s. this gives you some idea of the magnitude of the project. this gives you some idea of the magnitude of the projectm this gives you some idea of the magnitude of the project. it is not quite up the same scale. fdr undertook around 35,000 new public—works programmes, including the hoover dam, whereas boris johnson has announced so far 20 nine road projects, 101 ten centre improvements centre 50 schools which will be rebuilt, but he promises more to come. at fdr also threw in the regulation of banks, better pay and working hours, more social security provision and laws boosting the trade union bill movement. the prime minister has announced the biggest shake—up in planning laws for regeneration, for example making it easier to turn abandon shops into homes. and he said young people would be offered a guarantee of an apprenticeship, training or an in work placement. boris johnson apprenticeship, training or an in work placement. borisjohnson says he wants to put its arms around the

parts of the country that feel neglected and unloved. some voters in those areas embrace the conservatives for the first time at the last election. if that is to turn into a longer lasting relationship that he knows he has to make good on his promise to deliver where other governments have failed. the prime minister promised a new deal, but there is not much that it is new and there is not much of a deal. we are facing an economic crisis, the biggest nhl oration, and the recovery needs to match that. what has been announced immense to less tha n what has been announced immense to less than 100 p per person and it is the re—enactment of many manifesto pledges and commitments. the re—enactment of many manifesto pledges and commitmentsm the re—enactment of many manifesto pledges and commitments. it is not enough. boris johnson clearly pledges and commitments. it is not enough. borisjohnson clearly thinks his new deal is a big deal, that he may bejudged on how manyjobs he saves as well as how many he creates. 0ur economics correspondent dharshini david is here. why is this announcement till

important? you do not have to be a number crunching to know the economy has taken a blow from this virus, you just have to look at your local high street, you can see the impact in any neighbourhood. we are getting new evidence over time, today we learned that in the first three months of the year the economy shrank by its greatest amount since 1979, which tells us notjust that shutdown had an immediate effect but also that the economy was fragile even before the virus hits. things have got worse since then, the economy shrinking by 20% further in april alone and over 11 million workers are still being supported on the government payroll at the moment through support schemes. the question is what happens once those are wenstam 7 question is what happens once those are wenstam? how do you ensure the prosperity, make sure that that blow to the economy does not become lasting scars on prosperity in years to come? that is why people have been calling at full schemes. how much difference will this one make?

that is a really big question, we have heard about shovel ready investment schemes from the prime minister today but economists are saying they will need a lot more than this to take us out of this economic hole. build, build, build, we heard him say, but they are saying that if you want to build long—term economic plan spirit event schools, roads and the likes of very good ideas but this does not go far enough —— micro long—term economic plan spirit. the scale of what is being talked about, 5 billion p, the government had already earmarked 100 billion, and these projects take a long time to get off the ground. the chancellor may have more plans in the short—term and we will hear from him next week. 0ur assistant political editor norman smith is in westminster. the prime minister wants to take the country out of trouble, but you know what they say about being in a hole? 0n the plus side for the prime minister came down to ambition, and vision, then we would have the best infrastructure in the world. today

was classic borisjohnson turbo—charged optimism and it is clear he wants to set out a sunny and more upbeat post—covid vision, he wanted to get back to what he thought his government was going to be about, mainly levelling up the north and midlands, but it was breadcrumbs in terms of detail the difficulty is twofold, one is delivery and one is covered. revelations do not happen because of cash, because of the nimby backlash and prime ministers like things sorted out the real problem mr johnson faces as covid. so intense and immediate and overwhelming is this crisis for all of us and the government straining every sinew of the government, it is difficult to think of anything else and although

the prime minister says we cannot become prisoners of the crisis and seesit become prisoners of the crisis and sees it as a moment which can galvanise us to do things differently, he acknowledged it is farfrom over and differently, he acknowledged it is far from over and he differently, he acknowledged it is farfrom over and he said it was like a shark circling around us, but the difficulty when you have a shark on its tail is that it is difficult to think about anything else. health secretary matt hancock has dismissed suggestions that the government was too slow to act in leicester — saying a lockdown was reimposed after targeted action failed to bring a surge in coronavirus cases in the city under control. people there are being advised to stay at home, nonessential shops have shut their doors — and schools are to close again. the government says it's prepared to take similar action elsewhere if necessary. 0ur health correspondent dominic hughes reports. in leicester, the reality of the local lockdown is becoming clear. at least another two weeks of restricted travel, most shops closed and schools open only to vulnerable

all key worker children. it is a bitter blow for many who hope life is about to get back to normal.m is about to get back to normal.m is devastating. my day to day will 110w is devastating. my day to day will now be ringing and e—mailing clients and trying to rearrange at the moment, that is a massive problem, to say it will be two weeks and then we will reassess, we still do not know how long that will be. the lockdown covers the area within the red line on this map, the city centre and most of its suburbs. this morning the prime minister said reimposing a title lockdown in the area was the right response. we a lwa ys area was the right response. we always said we would take steps, and steps if necessary, draconian steps, to deal with problems as they fly read, if necessary. i thank the people of leicester for their forbearance and we will have to wait a bit longer and they will have to go through another period of

restrictions, but everybody can see why that is sensible and that is what we will do. what lies behind this decision? the infection rate in the city over a seven—day period is three times higher than the next highest city. leicester accounts for around 10% of all the positive cases in england over the past week, and admissions to hospital are running at between six and ten a day, compared with around one day elsewhere. local officials say they welcome the measures to try and contain any fresh outbreak in the city, but complain it has taken too long to get the information they need from the government. long to get the information they need from the governmentlj long to get the information they need from the government. i think it was now 11 or 12 days ago when the secretary of state announced in parliament that the government believed there was an outbreak of covid here in leicester. i will be fun, we were a little surprised because at the time we had had no data to suggest to us there were particular issues in our city. one area of concern is the high number

of children and teenagers in leicester testing positive for the virus, hence the decision to close schools. while the vast majority of young people will have mild if any symptoms, parents are still worried. it is disappointing, it was good to get them back and learning properly again. i am a bit upset, to be honest, i am shocked that leicester is in the situation and i would rather he be at school, i am a bit upset. officials are relying on the cooperation of local people but say the police will be able to enforce measures if needed, and there have been other smaller scale local spikes and infections in recent weeks, but experts one it is highly unlikely leicester would be the last city or town where restrictions are reimposed. 0ur correspondent phil mackie is in leicester. as the rest of the country reopens gradually, the question has to be how this will work. lots of answers are still needed here. i suppose the

biggest question is how they will police it. watch. people from leicester leaving the city at the weekend, going to villages and towns nearby, two restaurants and pubs where those lotto measures are using —— what will prevent people from leicester leaving the city? we are waiting for a statement from leicestershi re waiting for a statement from leicestershire police, it has been one of those faucets are probably issued more fixed penalty notices during the first period of lockdown as well. it is difficult to know how it will work, as you can see, lots of people are out and about, farm also than in march and april at the beginning of lockdown. —— far more than in march and april. i do not think people have got that we are back to those types of measures in the city. lots of shops have closed but there are still a few open and most of the restaurants have closed, but nonetheless a lot of people have come out and are wandering around today, i think perhaps the message has not got through. you saw the

mayor of leicester in dominic's report, he said it is a pain and a nuisance for leicester but he hopes that with better measures they will get on top of it and join the rest of the country in easing those lockdown measures soon. he said his message was really that the city of leicester should stay strong, stay safe and for the time being stay home. thank you very much. figures show the death rate in the uk has returned to its normal level for this time of year — for the first time since the lockdown began. 0ur head of statistics robert cuffe is in the newsroom. 0n the face of it, positive news?m is just speaking at about five year average, but that is still to be welcomed. —— it isjust at average, but that is still to be welcomed. —— it is just at that five year average. we show the number of deaths you would see every week, and that line across the middle in black -- is that line across the middle in black —— is what we would expect on the basis of the last five years, it has come down quite sharply since peaked in mid april. just eight below the

average. that is still good news. it is worth paying attention on the left—hand side of the graph, you can see that injanuary, february and early march with a mild winter by with fewer deaths recorded an average, it is a bit hard to say where we might have been if there had not been a coronavirus epidemic. that is national picture, locally, we are all talking about leicester today, about 80% of local authorities are seeing figures closer to normal. at the peak of the epidemic there were only ten local authorities in that range in about 150 were seen deaths far in excess of normal, maybe 50% or more above, those figures have reverse now and thatis those figures have reverse now and that is a markedly improved lookout compared to the couple of months ago. people can look at how things are going in their own local authority and compared the figures there to the national average on the bbc website if they search for

coronavirus. thank you. 0ur health editor hugh pym is here. we have a general picture we are just hearing about in leicester. where are we with his pandemic? there is the national picture we heard about from robert in terms of deaths, getting right back to the averagejust deaths, getting right back to the average just below, then there was the local picture. deaths, it has to be said, tragic, obviously, but they relate back to infections three or four weeks ago, so they are rather a backward —looking measure of what's going on. it is infections that really count. again, the national picture is, new cases have been falling, but you get these local outbreaks, and that's what we are seeing in leicester. scientists have a lwa ys seeing in leicester. scientists have always said it it will be all about testing and tracing as extensively as you can and picking up the communities where there is a virus outbreak developing, and that is what has happened in leicester. that has resulted in these latest lockdown restrictions. the question

is, where next? has been speculation about other industrial towns, where you have factories, food processing plants, which have been linked to certain virus outbreaks, which could be vulnerable, where the case numbers could have been going up. i am told today there was nothing else u nless am told today there was nothing else unless the's scale at the moment. there are amber lights but not the red lights that were flashing for leicester. all the data will be analysed carefully in case of other local outbreaks, but the message to everybody is, yes, there is any easing in different parts of the uk on different days, on the 11th of july in england, but it doesn't mean the virus has gone away. it is still there and i will be flare—ups that will have to be dealt with. —— there will have to be dealt with. —— there will be flare—ups. in the usa, more states and cities are halting plans to ease lockdown measures because of a surge in new cases of coronavirus. the arizona governor has ordered the closure of restaurants, bars,

gyms and cinemas for 30 days. florida and texas had already performed u—turns on relaxing restrictions. 0ur correspondent gary 0'donoghue is in washington. a sense that in some states this is out of control? hume mentioned flare—ups. we are dealing with something that is on a much larger scale in the us. around three quarters of individual states whose numbers are now rising, and a bunch of those, hospitalisation rates are going up, and the positivity numbers in terms of testing rises in places like florida well into the double digits. florida and texas have already reversed some of their policies on bars, for example, ordering them to close. beaches will be closed over the 11th ofjuly weekend in both those places. and arizona, seeing a huge spike, is shutting bars, gyms and cinemas, and also pushing back the reopening of

school. los angeles, too, having another big spike. the difficulty, and something officials are now pointing to is that this runs the risk of getting out of control. these aren't just a risk of getting out of control. these aren'tjust a little problems around the country, this is a very generalised wave of new infections, some 41,000 yesterday, and monday is typically a day where the numbers are typically a day where the numbers a re less typically a day where the numbers are less severe than they are later in the week. gary, thank you. it is coming up to 20 past one. our top story: borisjohnson promises a new deal in response to the coronavirus. this is the moment to be ambitious and to believe in britain. to rise to the scale of the challenge and the opportunity. and coming up on bbc news, 0lympic swimming champion adam peaty looks forward to becoming a father and says he hopes his son will be acknowledged for his achievements, not the colour of his skin.

china's parliament has passed controversial national security legislation for hong kong. the law was drawn up in response to last year's pro—democracy protests in the city, and could effectively limit freedom of speech and the right to demonstrate. china's actions have been condemned by human rights groups — there's been no official statement from beijing so far. from beijing, steve mcdonnell reports. hong kong now has its controversial state security law. a cause for celebration for a small group of beijing loyalists who say it will rein in unruly activists who have caused so much disruption and destruction in the city. but what the pro—democracy camp see is a frighteningly open—ended tool to be used to crush almost any political agitation the government doesn't like. certain speech or unapproved demonstrations can be treated as

crimes of secession or subversion, punishable by lengthy prison sentences. when they come to trial, it could be in front ofjudges hand—picked by a hong kong leader effectively installed by beijing. carrie lam says she is protecting the city. all of those countries which have pointed their fingers at china have their own national security legislation place. we could think of no valid reason why china alone should be inhibited from enacting national security legislation. fear of how the new law might be implemented has led joshua wong and others to disband the party they founded. there has been plenty of anger and frustration because beijing's notjust getting more powers, it's actually getting absolute total power when it comes to controlling hong kong.

the city, once known for its freedoms, has taken a massive reputational hit. washington has started removing hong kong's favoured trading status. for this, china has promised reprisals. in the chinese capital, behind closed doors, standing committee delegates have rubber—stamped through this new law without a dissenting voice. china's leader, xijin ping, whatever promises were made at the time of handover, these western notions of free speech, liberty have essentially poisoned hong kong. he doesn't care that this new law will be seen by some as changing that place forever, because that's what he wants. to drag that rebellious city back into the arms of the motherland, whether it's city back into the arms of the motherland, whether its residents like it or not. stephen mcdonnell, bbc news, beijing. major failings by inexperienced probation staff led to the release of a serial offender who went on to rape 11 women and children. that's the main finding of a report by the chief inspector of probation

into the release ofjoseph mccann. he was given 33 life sentences for the string of attacks last year. our home affairs correspondent june kelly reports. the end of a manhunt. joseph mccann was finally cornered, hiding up a tree in cheshire. wanted for one to —— wanted for multiple rapes in england in the spring of 2019. when he committed these crimes, he had been wrongly freed from prison a few months before. this latest review sheds more light on the failings in his case. it found that three different probation officers had been responsible for mccann in the run—up to his ill—fated release. it also discovered that prison staff didn't share key information with probation colleagues. mccann was under the supervision of the watford probation office. that particular office, we know from the work we put into helping and assisting members

there, was particularly under pressure, but many workplaces across england and wales are in a similar position. there are attempts being made to recruit more staff, and we welcome and support that, but there isa welcome and support that, but there is a big gap, because, as i said, the numbers of people who have left over recent years. earlier this year, one of mccann's victims, 71 when she was raped by him, spoke to the bbc. she said she finds this new review very distressing. in a statement, she told us: the words shambolic and chaotic spring to mind to describe the practices of the probation service. it is obvious that mccann should have been in prison and not at liberty to commit the horrendous crimes that have changed forever the lives of the 11 victims and their families. the risk is that this could happen again u nless is that this could happen again unless there is some kind of red flag syste m unless there is some kind of red flag system adopted so that whoever in the criminaljustice system is

dealing with offenders such as mccann realises that this person is dangerous. the ministry ofjustice says it has apologised to mccann's victims. it also says it has improved information sharing and training and is bringing on 800 new probation staff. june kelly, bbc news. the former prime minister theresa may has criticised the appointment of the government's new national security advisor. 0ur chief political correspondent vicki young is at westminster. some in boris johnson's some in borisjohnson's team have made no secret of their desire to shake up white call —— white hole, reva m p shake up white call —— white hole, revamp the government machine to make it more focused on delivery, including some of the most senior personnel. at the weekend, the cabinet secretary, sir mark sedwill, it was announced he would be moving on. part of his role is as a national security adviser to the prime minister, and that part of his job has been given to david frost,

currently the chief negotiator on brexit. he has no particular background in intelligence or security, and the former prime minister, theresa may, made her feelings known about this in the commentsjust feelings known about this in the comments just now. —— feelings known about this in the commentsjust now. —— in the commons. i served on the national security council for nine years, six years as home secretary and three as prime minister. during that time i listened to the expert independent advice from national security advisers. on saturday my right honourable friend said we must be able to promote those with proven expertise. why, then, is the new national security advisor a political appointee with no proven expertise in national security? in response to that, michael gove said that previous national security advisers had not always been steeped in the security world, and there was a feeling that someone who is more ofan a feeling that someone who is more of an outsider, if you like, could do thejob of an outsider, if you like, could do the job perfectly well as long as

they were willing to tell the truth to power. thank you very much. facebook is launching a new campaign to help people spot fake news on its site. the social media giant has been under pressure to take action — with more than 150 companies boycotting advertising because of what they say are false, misleading and abusive claims. facebook says it is ‘listening and adapting' — critics say it is ‘too little, too late'. the company behind the world famous circus operator cirque du soleil has applied for bankruptcy protection. the canadian firm will cut around 3500 jobs, but is hoping to rehire the majority of employees once coronavirus restrictions are lifted. production of all its shows, including six in las vegas, were paused in march. adam peaty should have been heading to the olympics in the next few days to defend his breaststroke gold medal. but with the tokyo games postponed — he's at home training in his back garden. and he's calling on the government to reopen swimming pools to help people's mental and physical health.

sally nugent has been to meet him. adam, so lockdown has presented you with some real challenges in terms of training, but you are managing to get around them, aren't you? tell me what this is? yeah, so this is, i think, a five by three metre tub, so it's called an endless pool, you basically swim against it. it enables me to train pretty much like 90% of my normal volume, my normal speed, my normal stroke. so obviously being outside the water, you're going to have to swim in the river, swim in a lake, it's not ideal and for me, my stroke is so precise. so this enables me to do that. and obviously swimming as a sport is very, very hard to train for if you've got no access to the water, and i think with the elite athletes, we were out of the water for seven weeks, maybe eight weeks, which is a long time and then we got these in and we're back into the elite training centre now and it's been an amazing tool, amazing utility to use. one of the downsides of lockdown is of course people who would regularly want to go

to their local swimming pool for their exercise aren't able to do that, and we know there's a petition going on right now, part of a campaign to get the pools open again. how important is it and how safe do you think it would be for pools to open to the public? i think it would be quite easy for them to open the pools, limit the amount of people in the pools, make sure you get temperature checks, face masks on entry and exit, but i think where there's a will, there's a way and i think the government need to put that will together and start to think, "how can we get these pools open?" because if they're opening the pubs and people are drinking, the government need to bring the balance and bring it back to opening the leisure centres, opening the gyms, because if you've got too much of that and you haven't got too much of this, you're not going to meet in the middle, you'rejust going to have people going down the pub every week or every day whereas normally they go to the gym or the leisure centre. you're a dad of a little boy, a mixed race boy. how important is it to you that even

in your business, in swimming, there is a more diverse picture coming through, because we don't really see that now, do we? yeah, i completely agree. in swimming, it's a very white—based sport because i think culturally, like, we don't really reach out to those communities to get them involved in sport and get them involved in swimming lessons and really feel... make them feel included, in a sense. it's one of those sports that has struggled with that ever since it's been a thing in the olympics. 0bviously with my little boy being mixed race, he'll be a quarter nigerian because my girlfriend's half nigerian, i want to give him that opportunity where any sport he goes in he's not going to have that kind of tag of, "you're going to be this mixed race runner or mixed race whatever or footballer," he should be known for his name, he should be known for his achievements. adam peaty speaking to sally nugent. time for a look at the weather.

here's darren bett.
