victimised by epstein or terrorism. but i think the city maxwell or others, they should took a lot of steps to make come forward. there are people feel safe. how to do certainly going to be continued investigations. they have talked to obviously a number of that so manhattan bustles again other witnesses. they may want to talk to maxwell to see if with tourists and the dollars is the question. a vaccine may she has information about other reassure travellers. perhaps by people who are involved, but thatis people who are involved, but that is going to come with a price. you are going to be july four next year new york asking the person at the top of city will be its vibrant and crowded self again. the organisation to now be giving testimony about people who are below her and who were you can reach me on twitter — toa who are below her and who were to a lesser degree involved. so thatis to a lesser degree involved. so that is a precarious position to be in if you are trading one off against the other. we will have to leave it there, but i'm @lvaughanjones. thank you for talking through that so clearly. we appreciate yourtime, that so clearly. we appreciate your time, david. china has called on the united kingdom to stop intering in its domestic affairs. good morning. we're halfway through 2020. it's supposed to be it follows the uk's offer through the middle of summer of a pathway to citizenship but the weather is very un—summerlike, to hong kong residents who hold unfortunately at the moment. british national overseas as you can see through thursday afternoon, across the midlands passports. this was sparked by china and south—east england, imposing a new national we had a rash of showers security law which protesters and some of those were heavy say limits hong kong's and thundery with it as well. freedoms. danny vincent has spoken we did close the day to protesters facing big on thursday with a window

career and your personal life. and if that happens, even personal freedoms and basic human rights 21 degrees will be the high. can't be secured. we will see more wet weather feeding in particularly through northern ireland, hong kong is constantly southern scotland and northern being suppressed. england and it will stay but brian has a way out. pretty breezy to the south in particular. he holds a british national overseas passport, and is and because that wind direction planning to leave. again from the southwest, after china imposed it will drag up some pretty humid air with it, so, despite the cloud, the national security law, you will notice the feel britain said the passport when you're stepping outside. some of that rain fairly could lead to citizenship persistent through northern ireland, southern scotland, and in northwest england forup to3 and wales, and just like last million hong kongers. weekend, pretty windy this 27—year—old also with it and unusually holds a passport. windy for this he was a member of the now time of year with gusts disbanded political group, but he feels in excess of potentially 30 a responsibility to stay. miles an hour. we do manage to get a few translation: the main people breaks in the cloud and there in this social movement are those who were will be very few and then temperatures will likely peak born after 1997. at 22 or 23 degrees. that humidity will start they're not like us, who are older, and have to ease for the second half of the weekend as the wind a british national overseas passport, direction changes to more and can easily leave. of a northwesterly. so, a cooler source but weather will start to dry up right now, i'm going to stay at the beginning of next week. with my fellow protesters, take care. to resist together. i have no plan

to leave for the uk. it's not clear whether china will even allow bno holders to travel to the uk. china will reiterate that hong kong affairs are china's internal affairs, and there is no place for foreign interference. the new national security law has changed this city, and its people, overnight. the uk government has announced it will remove travel restrictions for lower—risk countries ahead of the summer holiday season. from 10 july, holidaymakers returning from germany, france, spain and italy will no longer need to self—isolate upon their arrival in england. for now, the new rules will not apply to the other home nations. paul charles is the ceo of the travel consultancy the pc agency. he has welcomed the end of blanket quarantine restrictions.

it means many millions of holidaymakers will actually be able to travel the saturday to certainly those countries imagine, spain, italy, france and germany, but also many others which they are going to unveil ina others which they are going to unveil in a hours' time. i think this list, when it is published, later on friday, will be this is bbc news. the headlines: potentially 70 to 80 countries. the british socialite ghislaine maxwell has appeared in court in the united states we understand that it will be after being charged with helping the late paedophile and financier unveiling the traffic jeffrey epstein to sexually abuse underage girls. light system, which seems, on the face of it, the system providing a lot of clarity which is what we need in the industry. she has previously denied and there will be wrongdoing, as well as any knowledge a green, amber of epstein's crimes. and red countries. one of hong kong's leading the green and amber countries will be those pro—democracy campaigners has fled where you will not have the territory, following china's introduction of sweeping to quarantine on your return. new security powers. but, apart from germany, france, italy and spain, it's not clear yet which countries will be green, after britain's offer of a pathway to citizenship for holders and which ones will be amber, of a national overseas

although we could hazard passport, beijing has called a guess. on the united kingdom to stop but that is going to lead to some people having to wait interfering in its domestic affairs. to find out of course, when there will be able to take their holidays there. the uk is relaxing its quarantine because not all of these policy for passengers arriving countries are going to be accessible from the 11th in england from countries ofjuly from saturday judged to be lower risk. when the advice is amended. initially germany, france, spain and italy are covered amber means that there is more with a more comprehensive risk attached to that register of cleared nations destination and indeed expected to follow. the travellers there should be more cautious and it also makes it easier for the government to adjust the rate to read if they have to if there is a spike in that country or if there is a sudden outbreak that affects the whole country. it gives the government flexibility where is the green rating is for those countries that are deemed very low risk indeed. there are still issues with the system. although we will recognise it, scotland is not recognising it. between scotland and westminster over how these countries have been chosen, which ones are in the final list and there is a potential that when this is announced by the transport secretary in a few hours' time, officially, that it could apply to england only. so, that will lead to confusion and scotland. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: how new york

is trying to welcome back tourists ahead of the 4 july independence day holiday weekend. china marked its first day of rule in hong kong with a series of spectacular celebrations. a huge firework display was held in the former colony. the chinese president, jiang zemin, said unification was the start of a new era for hong kong. the world's first clone has been produced of an adult mammal. scientists in scotland have produced a sheep called dolly that was cloned in a laboratory using a cell from another sheep. for the first time in 20 years, russian and american spacecraft have docked in orbit at the start of a new era of cooperation in space. challenger powered past the bishop rock lighthouse at almost 50 knots, shattering a record that had stood for 3h years. and there was no hiding the sheer elation of

richard branson and his crew. this is bbc news, the latest headlines: us prosecutors have charged the british socialite ghislaine maxwell with grooming young girls for her former boyfriend, the convicted paedophilejeffrey epstein, and lying about it repeatedly. one of hong kong's leading pro—democracy campaigners has fled the territory — following china's imposition of a new security law. nearly five million jobs were created in the united states last month — a record figure and much higher than expected as many businesses like restaurants and bars re—hired staff after coro navi rus restrictions began to ease. but that was before a new surge in cases. yesterday more than 50,000 people tested positive, a new daily record.

0ur north america editor, jon sopel sent this report. america is now into its fourth month of emergency measures to tackle coronavirus. and the situation is getting worse — way worse. yesterday broke all records, with nearly 53,000 new cases being recorded in a single day, with hospitals, like this one in houston, texas, drowning in a sea of covid. all you have to do is take a look at the news at night, and you see people congregating in bars without masks, congregating in different types of groups that are well beyond the recommended number of people. what happens when you do that and you don't wear a mask? you get the kind of outbreaks we're seeing. but, though many in the us are wearing facial coverings, there's a sizeable chunk that refuses — an almost "real men don't wear masks" attitude, a viewpoint that at times has been aided and abetted by the president.

can you take it off? because i cannot hear you. i'll just speak louder, sir. you want to be politically correct. go ahead. look at the last rally the president attended — this was in arizona last week, where cases are going through the roof. but at no point did donald trump tell anybody they should put on a face covering, and he's done all he can to avoid being filmed wearing one, though he now says that might change. i mean, i'd have no problem. actually i had a mask and i said i liked the way i looked, i thought it was ok. i looked like the lone ranger. it's a sign of the division in america — maybe even the madness — that the simple act of wearing a facemask has become a political issue, and notjust a matter of public health during a pandemic. there's a danger that this becomes the new frontier in the culture wars, that pits conservative against liberal. the past two weeks have been a torrid and horrid time for donald trump. today, his bounce was back, with good news on the economy. these are historic numbers,

in a time that a lot of people would have wilted. but, with many states that had opened talking about shutting down again, and those that were about to open putting plans on hold, the nightmare goes on. president trump vowed to defeat the hidden enemy, but coronavirus has been a curve ball that he's nowhere near been able to master. jon sopel, bbc news, washington. to take a closer look at america's economic fortunes during the pandemic i'm joined by heidi shierholz, director of policy at the economic policy institute 00:17:39,199 --> 2147483051:45:34,314 and former chief economist 2147483051:45:34,314 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 to the us secretary of labor.
