hello, welcome to outside source. hundreds of people have been arrested in hong kong following protests against a new security law imposed by china. polls close in russia after a week—long referendum that's expected to cement president putin's hold on power — until 2036. described as a "conservation disaster" as hundreds of elephants

are found dead in botswana. the united states has bought nearly all the stock for the next three months of the anti—viral drug remdesivir which is used to treat people with covid—19. the who says it will investigate. we wa nt we want to ensure that everybody has access to the necessary life—saving interventions. life-saving interventions. welcome to the programme, thanks forjoining us. china's new national security law for hong kong has been greeted with protests in the territory — and condemnation from the international community. the legislation — passed yesterday — gives beijing powers to shape life in hong kong as never before. residents were greeted by this in the harbour. the sign reads: "celebrate the national security law". but many did not celebrate it, and police made theirfirst arrests under the new law. these are some of the clashes between police and demonstrators — water cannons and tear gas were used to disperse the crowds. so far, there have been more than 350 arrests. ten of them related to the new law, which targets secession, subversion and terrorism

with punishments of up to life in prison. here's an example of what constitutes an offence — hong kong police tweeting "three females were arrested respectively so that's three women arrested for holding banners with independence slogans. and that has scared pro—democracy campaigners like bonnie leung. it is very vague. so hong kong people can easily tread into these redlines accidentally with horrible horrible consequences, the maximum penalty, as you said, is life imprisonment. so it's horrible for all of us. andy chan is another pro—democracy campaigner who's previously called for hong kong independence.

here's what he said today. well, you just asked me do i support hong kong independence? you are almost asking me to be injail for over ten years. because we are not able to say independence, once i say that's, i could be arrested. today actually marks 23 years since hong kong was handed back to china. ever since, people in the territory have enjoyed certain freedoms that do not exist in mainland china. the agreement is widely known as "one country, two systems" — and was supposed to last for 50 years. under the deal, hong kong had to enact its own national security law — but that never happened because of its unpopularity. then, last year, we saw scenes like this — protests over an extradition law turned violent and turned into a broader anti—china and pro—democracy movement. china doesn't want to see that happen again — and so it's stepped in. supporters of the law argue it will only affect a small number of people — and is essential to restore stability to hong kong.

here's nixie lam from a pro—beijing politcal party. we need a law to get back to normal. we need a law to have a normal hong kong life back. what was happening, like before all this happened in hong kong, even though you are running on empty, you bump into someone you say, "oh my god, i'm "that i bump into you," but we are turning into this violent citizens lastjune, and there is no way we can stop this. but it's notjust hong kong residents who could face harsh penalties. article 38 of the law says it applies to offences committed outside of hong kong by non—residents — meaning if foreigners commit offences overseas, they can be prosecuted when entering hong kong. us secretary of state mike pompeo has described it as "an affront to all nations". here's donald clarke from george washington university speaking to bbc world news earlier. well, you and i right now, in our

conversation, if someone in hong kong, hong kong authorities decide that if it violates the law and it undermines china's national sovereignty or threatens china's national security, or if either of us national security, or if either of us go to hong kong, then we are potentially liable to prosecution. gosh, that is worrying for many, many people. it's not just many people. it's notjustjournalists, students, scholars, everybody who has an opinion and would like to express it. as professor clarke says, this has implications for journalists — and we're already seeing an impact. one freelance journalist in hong kong writes... let's get more international reaction. here's mike pompeo, the us secretary of state. free hong kong was one of the worlds most stable, prosperous

and dynamic cities. now? now it's just another communist run city, where people are subject to the party elite's wins. it's sad. indeed, this is already happening. security enforcements are already rounding up hong for daring to see security enforcements are already rounding up hong kongers daring to see delete next beat and think freely. the rule of law has been evicerated, and as always, the chinese communist party fears its own people more than anything else. lord christopher patten — hong kong's final british governor before the 1997 handover — says china is a doubling down in their aggressive and loutish behaviour, adding... the british government says the law is a breach of the treaty between china and the uk, which gave hong kong its degree of independence. here's uk foreign secretary dominic raab. it isa it is a sad day for the people

of hong kong, and one which can only undermine international trust in the chinese government's willingness to keep its word and live up to its promises. and the prime minister borisjohnson has sent a strong message by allowing up to three million people in hong kong — who have british national overseas status because they were born before the territory returned to china — to live and work in the uk for longer. we made clear, mr speaker, that if china continued down this path we would reintroduce a new route for those with british national oversees status to enter the uk, granting them limited leave to remain with the ability to live and work in the uk, and thereafter to apply for citizenship, and that is precisely what we will do now. our china correspondent stephen mcdonell says millions of hong kong citizens could end up moving to the uk after that announcement. and he points out...

howard zhang from the bbc chinese service explains what that may look like. the most direct potential attributions people can think of our diplomatic as well as economic measures. the uk have for the past few decades trying to enter the chinese market, and the past few governments have been trying to court chinese investment into the uk as well. so, many of these things can eventually be turned into bargaining chips or cards being played. so all of those are possible, and also, in the past, one was during the government of david cameron, when the uk leadership met with the dalai lama and that

leadership, there was a long—term freeze of bilateral relations between the uk and beijing, and for quite a while, until some part of disruption happened later on. so all these past experiences could happen again. in terms of any perhaps change to legal legislation in hong kong, i mean, china is not one to move once it's made a position, and that will probably be the case, will it not? exactly. at this very moment, more and more scholars are pointing out, this is becoming more of a political stand rather than introducing a law. many even suggesting we have to look at this at the bigger context of us—china going head to head in china's trying to pick a battle ground, and politically seen thinking this is perhaps the best place.

we can pick a fight with the west with the us and have a slightly better chance of winning, hence hong kong has been the sacrificial lamb at this moment. howard, just very quickly, you have contacts, many of them in the territory, any idea how you can sum up the mood there at the moment? the mood there, essentially, on one side, people are completely angry, the angry side, but also fear. this level of desperation, because most people who lived in hong kong, work in hong kong, know it is a vibrant city — where people enjoyed mostly freedom, and it's really economically vibrant, it's easy to do business and make money. so people on one side love what they see, and they used to be called the pearl of the orient, and to see all of this almost

evaporate overnight, to see the rule of law that they got to — used to almost — now becoming all of a sudden the same as mainland china. it's something people are still caught in disbelief and trying to figure out how can they move on from here. early results in russia's week—long referendum appear to show voters have strongly backed constitutional reforms that could cement president putin's hold on power for sixteen more years. this is a significant amendment yet it barely got a mention in the run—up to the vote. state tv and celebrity endorsers instead focused on the raft of other articles on offer including protecting pensions and the minimum wage, and effectively banning gay marriage. mr putin's been in power 20 years now and it won't be the first time he gets to restart the clock on his presidency. this graph is from the independent. as you can see

mr putin first appeared on the scene as prime minister in 1999, then became president a year later. after his two presidential terms came to an end in 2008, he had another stint as prime minister until he was allowed to run for president again four years later. he was re—elected in 2012 and has been in power ever since. mr putin's current term is up in 2024 when the current consitution says he should step down. that's about to change. let's go the moscow — bbc russian‘s sergei goryashko is there. actually, people today have voted for all amendments in the constitution as the amendment about putin's presidential terms which allow him to rule the country until 2036, and also with the amendment about the banning of gay marriage, about the banning of gay marriage, about families that are only a man and a woman and about the belief in

god and the greatest memory to the a ncestors, god and the greatest memory to the ancestors, that all amendments were in one ballot, and you should cast one ballot with a yes or no on it. there are no questions on it like "are you for this, are you for that? " are you for changing the whole constitution of the russian federation —— federation, that's it. partial results have shown us already, russians appear to pave the way for vladimir putin to stay as president of the country until 2036, but should also run for the president post, of course, and he already told that he is not quite sure about that, he will think about it, he will see, etc, etc, as he usually says about all the elections. usually, it happens that he runs for the elections and he goes for that, and it won't be unexpected if you will stay as a leader until 2036 after all of these amendments and the

constitution. on our moscow correspondent steve rosenberg tweeted on monday. it's a book of the new constitution, which russians hadn't agreed to yet. alongside it he tweeted... there've been many concerns over how the vote was carried out. it was staggered over a week to prevent coronavirus transmission in crowded polling stations, and was a straight yes or no on whether to accept all the changes. although lobbying for either option was officially banned, fliers like this one posted to moscow apartment blocks all called on people to vote "for" the amendments, rather than "on" them. opposition figures dismissed the whole process as a farce with no proper monitoring or independent scrutiny. let's go back to sergei. the voting process was quite unusual

for us. it was the first time in modern history when russians could vote for the whole thing, and that's never happened before. all observers were told that it just happened before. all observers were told that itjust creates lots of opportunities for the state authorities to change the result as they want. partial results from the central election committee all already show us that the kremlin has achieved his points to get the 65% of the turnout and more than 70% for the changing of the constitution, and forvitamin or the changing of the constitution, and for vitamin or putin to stay in power until 2036. there were lots of m essa 9 es power until 2036. there were lots of messages about different people who we re messages about different people who were working in the state budget organisations, told that they were made to go to the polling stations are to vote online, that was possible in moscow and in another region near moscow. they —— their bosses told them, actually, that they should go, they should

vote for it, and it happened in schools commit happened in hospitals, it happened also in lots of organisations financed from the state budget, most of this turnout, some observers told me that you can just see from the results on the selection committee where people went for to vote, and they're voluntarily turnout there was 30%, and when people were made to go cast their ballots, there turnout was about 70%, it's just not normal from the statistics point of view. from the statistics point of view. from the bbc russian service, sergei. stay with us here on outside source. still to come. hundreds of elephants are found dead in botswana and mysterious circumstances. we will speak to conservationists who are looking into it. more than 11,000 job losses have

been announced in the uk in the past 24 been announced in the uk in the past 2a hours, they are being blamed on the devastating impact of coronavirus on the british economy. among the 11,000 job cuts, the worlds largest menu fracture, airbus, says it plans to cut 1700 from the uk workforce and department stores are also making cuts, here is oui’ stores are also making cuts, here is our political correspondent vicki young. from what we have seen today in the last couple of days, very troubling stream now of all the job losses being announced, from august, employers do have to start paying towards those salaries. i think the thatis towards those salaries. i think the that is not viable, they are than giving notice that these job cuts are coming. so i think a lot of questions particularly about the recession and were kind of recovery there will be, some optimistic point of view suggesting that it could be quite a sharp dip, but then up at quick recovery. i don't think anyone pretending that all of these jobs are going to come back, the prime

minister certainly admitting that. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. hong kong police arrest nearly 400 people following violent clashes with protestors opposed to a new security law imposed by china. plans by israel's leadership to annex parts of the occupied west bank appear to have stalled. july 1st had been set as the date from which it could begin the legislative process — but that hasn't happened. even so — as you'll see from these pictures from ramallah today — palestinians were out on the streets protesting against the plans. there have been warnings it would be the absolute end of the two—state solution. here's the background — the west bank has been occupied by israel since the middle east war in 1967, but after decades of talks its final status remains unresolved. both israel and the palestinians assert rights there. israel still has civil and military

control over much of the area — which you can see here in blue. 430,000 israelis live in a number of settlements and outposts built under israel's occupation. but they are regarded as illegal under international law. and in orange are the areas under varying degrees of palestinian control. as you can see — it's complicated. and who better to help explain it than our middle east editor, jeremy bowen. it could be a rural idyll, a farmer and his family working the fields, and his family working the fields his grandfather bought, refreshed by tea laced with wild sage, a palestinian delicacy. but this man has a misfortune. his land is next to one of the settlement blocs that israel wants to annex. ten days ago, he saw a notice pinned up.

it was, he says, from the israeli army telling him to vacate his property. translation: annexation is a dangerous thing, and establishing a palestinian state would become impossible. this will cause lots of problems, not just in palestine but with our neighbours in the region. big chunks of the land palestinians want for a state have already been already been taken — to build homes for dues in defiance of international law. annexation would finally bury the idea of making peace by granting palestinians independence alongside israel. if somebody wants to appear peacefully... like many settlers, this man believes israel should take all the land because god gave it to the dues. if you believe in the right of the dues, in the zionist movement

if you believe in the right of the jews, in the zionist movement to come to tel aviv, to come here, you cannot disconnected from the heart of israel. so, you mean, 100% of the territory included the palestinian cities and towns? there is no palestinian cities and towns, we are here in israel, the place that god promised to abraham and his seeds to israel. even the so—called palestinians when you ask them, they really want to live under israel regime. not all israelis believe that or welcome annexation. combat veterans joined up protest with former palestinian fighters nearjericho. the peace march ended in scuffles with israeli police. president trump encouraged prime minister netanyahu to annex land as part of his so—called "deal of the century" to end the conflict. but now trump's eyes are on the us elections. israel's other allies including britain have condemned annexation, but politics are tangled. israel is hesitating.

jeremy bowen, bbc news. we're going to go to botswana next. more than 350 elephants have died there in what appears to be a mass die—off — but noone knows what's caused it. i should warn you now that some of the images in this story are very upsetting. a cluster of deaths was first reported here, in the okavango delta, in the north of the country, in early may. by mid june, the number had more than doubled. these are aerial photographs ofjust some of the bodies. elephants of all ages and both sexes have been dying, according to local reports. the true number of deaths is likely to be even higher because carcasses can be difficult to spot. some of them have fallen straight on their face, suggesting they died very quickly. many of the bodies have been found by watering holes. conservationists have criticised the government for being slow to investigate the causes of the deaths. a government representative told the guardian newspaper they had sent

off samples and said... but concerns about the investigation remain. dr niall mccann is the director of conservation at national park rescue. he's spoken to local sources on the ground about these disturbing images. doctor, good of you to come back with us, i know we ran out of time last time we spoke, so i'm grateful for your time again. i wonder if you can elaborate for viewers if we know what the causes are of these deaths of the elephants? unfortunately, at the moment, we are none the wiser as to what is causing what is an absolute catastrophe happening in botswa na. absolute catastrophe happening in botswana. or absolute catastrophe happening in botswana. ... or attacks absolute catastrophe happening in botswana. orattacks and absolute catastrophe happening in botswana. or attacks and that can bea botswana. or attacks and that

can be a poison laid on purpose by poachers or can be something very natural. we just lost our connection to their slightly, but from what i understand, us inc. of this could potentially have been toxins that have been added to the water, is that correct? its really unsure at this stage whether it's either a pathogen, soy disease which is affecting the elephants, or whether it's a toxin, be that a poison laid purposely by poachers or something occurring naturally in the water system or in the soil. how significant is this than? because not knowing the cause is incredibly worrying, and also thinking about the percentage numbers of elephants that are in botswana and if others will be affected. it's incredibly significant, globally significant on the global scale, because botswana is home to one third of all the savannah elephants left in africa, and this proportion of botswana has about 10% of that. so it's a real conservation crisis waiting to happen unfolding before our eyes. there's also the potential public

health crisis, at a time that it wa nts health crisis, at a time that it wants attention is rightly focused on the fact that diseases can easily transmit from animals into people, as we have witnessed with covid—19, i think it's vital that we learn exactly what's causing this death, just to make sure that it doesn't spill over to the human population as well. we should just say that in oui’ as well. we should just say that in our introduction, we said that there we re our introduction, we said that there were cases where why —— whereby we believe the elephants died quite quickly, but others are saying that they are reporting, people on the ground, reporting that the elephants dazed and confused before, you know, coming toa dazed and confused before, you know, coming to a very slow death. with that —— with that in mind and the criticism that's being leveled of the government, do you think more needs to be done into what has happened, for example, the samples that we mentioned a little earlier, and then being tested and trying to get a full and thorough investigation here. i think the key is that needs to be thorough, it needs to be totally transparent and open. my credit to the botswana nuns for responding to this. what he believe they need to do now is

invited team of experts into visit the site so that they can sample multiple carcasses, they need to ta ke multiple carcasses, they need to take tissue, blood, spleen, liver, stomach contents, plus they need to sample the soil and water and then transport those samples backed... we have to leave it there, the clock has got to us yet again, but i appreciate your time. thank you very much for being with us. this is bbc news. hello there. for the good chunk of the uk,june was hello there. for the good chunk of the uk, june was wetter than normal june, and that unsettled theme continues into the first part of july with no real change in the forecast. now, we have seen plenty of showers across england and wales today. we see those here on the satellite and radar picture combined, but some lengthier outbreaks of raintree southern counties of northern ireland. for northern england and also central and southern parts of scotland, where it turned out to be quite a wet day. now, overnights, that rain will continue to affect southern scotland, northern england, working southwards over time into north wales on the north midlands as well

by the end of the night. all the while, it stays cloudy, so it's mild, temperatures 10—14. while, it stays cloudy, so it's mild, temperatures 10—14 . a little bit cooler across northern scotland where there will be occasional clear spells working in. now, looking at the weather charts on thursday. low— pressure the weather charts on thursday. low—pressure still with us, a couple of weather fronts as well, working southeastward with time, it is another unsettled looking day. so, thursday, we start off with rain across southern scotland, northern england, the north midlands, that rain pushing southeast ritz with time. the rain will turn showering into the afternoon, so some big showers for the midlands, east english, southeast and glenn, bit of thunder, the showers will be slow—moving as well given that the wind will be late. a few sunny spots across northern scotland, this is with the lowest temperatures are, just 12 in aberdeen and stornoway come even further south, those temperatures a little disappointing for earlyjuly. beyond temperatures a little disappointing for early july. beyond that, temperatures a little disappointing for earlyjuly. beyond that, the forecast for the end of the week, we are looking at the next area of low pressure moving in off the atlantic. this one bringing the heaviest rain and persistent rain at that across the northwest of the country, but

it's not just the northwest of the country, but it's notjust wet, it's also going to be pretty windy. there may well be some rain for a time across eastern england, that should clear through the morning. the afternoon, and a greater chance of sinks and brea ks and a greater chance of sinks and breaks in the cloud, and a few sunny spells across east anglia and south east england, little —— little prospect of that further north and west with the rain continuing to pour down. now, the beacon by the prospect still dominated by low—pressure, pressure, whether from scooting across the uk, bringing rain at times, showers merging together suit to give some lengthier spells of rain during the second half of the weekend as well. so, it does stay unsettled. this weekend, rain at times, often windy, often cloudy, and those temperatures, similarto cloudy, and those temperatures, similar to what we have had in recent days. generally mid to high teens, may be low 20s and the warmest spots. but it is going to stay pretty unsettled. that's your latest weather. bye for now.

hello. welcome to outside source. hundreds of people have been arrested in hong kong following protests against a new security law imposed by china. polls close in russia after a week—long referendum that's expected to cement president putin's hold on power — until 2036. the united states has bought nearly all the stock for

the next three months of the anti—viral drug remdesivir which is used to treat people with covid—19. the who says it will investigate. we wa nt we want to ensure that everybody has access to the necessary life—saving interventions. the european union says it will open its borders to a number of a countries — but america will not be one of them. welcome. let's start with the coronavirus pandemic — and we've had this warning from the international labour organisation, a un body. this situation is worse than we have previously estimated. for the first half of this year which is now coming to end. i estimate is for loss of the equivalent of 400 million full—timejobs loss of the equivalent of 400 million full—time jobs for that that is up from 305 million from our estimate of one month ago, and this that the pandemic is really hitting hard. —— in this reflects that the pandemic is really hitting hard. we've had a reminder of that more than 11,000 job losses have been

announced in the last two days alone as the devastating impact here's simonjack. airlines, manufacturers, retail, the damage is deep and wide and seems to be getting worse by the day or even by the hour. the announcements ofjob losses are coming thick and fast. at the airbus factory, there was a sombre mood as people digested yesterday's announcement that thousands ofjobs would be going. it will be a great shame to a lot of people. i have family members who live here. everybody and everybody will be impacted. it is a big part of the economy. one of the main sources of jobs right here. if it goes, it does make a big impact. the chairman of airbus uk said its customers are facing a crisis that will leave lasting damage. and airbus had to ensure its own survival. look into the sky, the tourism industry, the tourism industry, our bloodline, our airlines, those are customers. if they catch a cold,

we are in the same situation. this is unprecedented. we want to be there for the recovery. so we have to cut our cloth according to our means and it is tough but we have to do it. it is the right thing to do. today in parliament, the leader of the opposition confronted the prime minister with a grim roll call that hours later is already out of date. airbus, 1700 job losses, easyjet, 1300 job losses, tm lewin and harvest, 800. that is just yesterday. the prime minister defended the government response to the job retention scheme and presented in his scope and cost but conceded some very tough times lay ahead. we have supported huge sectors of the uk economy at a concept of a and i would not give a figure for the number ofjob losses that

may or may not take place. but the risk is very serious. a month from today, employers will have to start paying an increasing portion of that cost until a scheme is redrawn at the end of october. one reason perhaps whyjob losses are picking up pace. there has been a seismic economic shock to the global economy. these job losses are like waves crashing now on uk shores with alarming severity and frequency. the government spent tens of billions of pounds trying to delay this inevitability but with this flood of new announcements it is clear they are struggling to hold back the tide. with fewer people getting on planes and trains, those stalwarts of airports and stations upper crust cut 5000 posts. the government has a ready spent tens of billions on keeping dying businesses alive. the chancellor's focus will now shift from trying to sustain jobs that no longer exists to create brand—new ones. the world health organisation says it's investigating the us buying up global supplies of remdesivir for the next three months. it's a drug shown to

work against covid—19. here's dr michael ryan from the who. many people around the world are very sick with this disease, and we want to ensure that everybody has access to the necessary life—saving interventions, but others said, we will reserve our commentary until we verify the exact nature of the contracts but also we are also aware of other arrangements being put in place for sublicensing with other and the implications with other countries, so let us look at the issues and the implications of this but certainly yes we can restate we are fully committed as an organisation and with our partners to equitable access to life—saving interventions. more than 500,000 treatment courses for american hospitals have been secured. the vice—president explained the steps the us are taking to treat those with the illness. we are in a much better place because of the availability

of what is known as therapeutics or medicines to treat people that have contracted the coronavirus and are experiencing severe symptoms. doctor steve han of the fda is here and he will speak about the progress that we are making, whether it be the availability of remdesivir, which we are distributing this week and the use of blood plasma, steroid treatments and also we continue to hear very helpful signs about the continuing progress for developing a vaccine for the american people. here's our global health correspondent naomi grimley with more about the drug. remdesivir is not exactly a wonder drug when it comes to covid—19, it has been proven in some trials to reduce the length of stay in hospital, by about four days, so it helps some very sick patients reduce their recovery time, but it doesn't cut mortality, nevertheless the importance of this story is that of course this shows

a path of intention that the us may well try to use as economic and financial firepower to buy up drug supplies and that worries many other countries including the uk. trials for remdesivir as a treatment for covid were carried out in the uk as well as other countries. it's one of only two drugs known to be effective in treating the virus. here's our medical correspondent, fergus walsh. it's geraldine from north london is one of more than 1000 covert patients who took part in a global trial of remdesivir. this is her receiving the drug in april. she made a rapid recovery. and is shocked at the drug has been brought up shocked at the drug has been brought up by shocked at the drug has been brought up by the us. i wanted to be part of something that could potentially help everyone. i feel that now only a small percentage of the world population really are going to receive any benefit from it and the near future. it is receive any benefit from it and the nearfuture. it is really disappointing. remdesivir it

takes months to manufacture, so there was already a shortage. this still means the american pharma company gilead will be served nearly all production in the coming three months for us patients. —— will reserve. in the coming three months for us patients. -- will reserve. covid-19 isa patients. -- will reserve. covid-19 is a global patient with millions of people affected worldwide. those patients need access to proven treatments, for one country to dominate the access to any single treatment is beyond unfortunate. there are now two drugs which have proven to be effective against covid—19. remdesivir and the steroid dexamethasone. remdesivir costs £1900 per course of treatment were dexamethasone costs just £5. remdesivir cuts the duration of symptoms from 15 to 11 days. but it is not proven to reduce the risk of dying. were asked dexamethasone cuts the risk of dying by a third in the most seriously ill patients.

the us continues to struggle to contain its coronavirus outbreak. america's top disease researcher, dr anthony fauci, has told the us senate that he would not be surprised if new virus cases in the country reached 100,000 per day. they are currently around 40,000. meanwhile the european union will open its borders to a number of a countries outside the bloc, and the us isn't on there. both the united states and brazil are still dealing with worsening virus outbreaks and are being kept off the list. china is on the so called ‘safe list but only with a reciprocal agreement that is still pending. the uk and four other non—eu states — switzerland, iceland, liechtenstein and norway — are automatically included as "safe". stay with us — still to come: west indies cricket legend sir everton weekes has died at the age of 95. the iconic batsman played 48 tests between 1948 and 1958 and his highest run score was 207 — bbc sport will look back at

his life. the prime minister has denied that the lock down in leicester has come too late after the labour leader, sir keir starmer said there had been a "lost week" due to city officials not having full testing data. borisjohnson said the figures had been shared with all local authorities. sian lloyd reports. the message here is stay home unless travel is essential. if the virus is going to be controlled. if it comes down to whether the public will behave themselves, the vast majority have done a fantasticjob. a small minority did not and that is why we are getting it. i want to see more enforcement presence and i want to see the police out asking people why they are out. a little bit more clarity would be nice.
