this is bbc news — i'm david eades with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. cleared for landing in england — the government lifts quarantine rules for visitors from france, germany, spain and italy. us prosecuters charge the british socialite, ghislaine maxwell, with grooming young girls for her former boyfriend — the convicted paedophile jeffrey epstein. she pretended to be a woman they could trust. all the while, she was setting them up to be sexually abused by epstein, and in some cases, by maxwell herself. texans are ordered to wear face masks across much of the state — as covid—19 cases continue to soar. and heavier than 350

large cruise ships — a stark warning about the volume of electrical goods, thrown each year. hello and welcome if you're joining us in the uk or indeed around the world. the uk government has announced it will remove travel restrictions for lower—risk countries ahead of the summer holiday season. from the 10th ofjuly — a week today — people travelling 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 scotland, wales or northern ireland. andy moore has more.

tomorrow will see major changes to life in england in more ways than one. not only will people be allowed to go to the pub, there will also be able to travel to a warm beech overseas as the government formally lists its ban on all but essential travel. so which countries will be open? the first four countries on the list are germany, france, italy and spain. but it is expected that as many as 70, possibly more, will be named later today. some countries, such as portugal and sweden, where infection rates are thought to be too high it may not be on the list. it's good news that the list. it's good news that the government is removing its blanket quarantine measures which have caused so much uproar, frankly, in the travel industry over the last few weeks. it is good news that the foreign office will be removing its non—essential travel advice from this saturday, and it means that many millions of holidaymakers will actually be able to travel from this saturday to, certainly those countries you mentioned, spain,

italy, france and germany. it also many others they will unveil ina also many others they will unveil in a few hours time. travel agents hope they will soon be able to give their customers clear soon be able to give their custo m e rs clear a nswe i’s soon be able to give their customers clear answers to the questions they have been asking. the clarity we need is eva, yes you can go, or know you can't go. simple as that. greece won't allow uk holidaymakers in until the middle of next month. the uk government hopes the countries on its green list will have reciprocal arrangements about travellers won't have to self—isolate. but there is no guarantee of that. and this announcement so far only applies to england with the transport secretary suggesting delays to the announcement were due to differences with scotland. i think the uk government should spend less time trying to misrepresent and politicise these difficult issues we are dealing with right now. less time trying to pick pointless fights so that all of us can just focus on the task at hand. westminster says

the devolved government and what in wales, scotland and northern ireland will set up their own approaches to foreign travel. so far we haven't heard what they will be. anymore, bbc news. if you live in texas, you'll have to wear a mask whenever you go out in public. that is the order given by the state governor and applies to every cou nty state governor and applies to every county that has had at least 20 cases of coronavirus. that is virtually the whole state. texas was amongst one of the first us states to reopen for business but has become one of the country's main coronavirus hotspot since those restrictions were lifted. mr abbott said those coverings would help to slow this rid of the virus. —— spread. one of the best ways to keep businesses open, while also slowing the spread, is for everyone to wear a face covering like this when they go out. medical studies have shown that wearing a face covering slows the spread of covid—i9, and it protects you and your family.

that is the very clear message coming from mr abbott now. for more on this we can now speak to patrick svitek, politcal correspondent for the texas tribune — he joins me form the state capital of austin. thank you very much forjoining us, patrick. that is a pretty big appealfor the us, patrick. that is a pretty big appeal for the governor to have to swallow. it is. i mean, weeks even months, he was very relu cta nt to ta ke weeks even months, he was very reluctant to take action by this. and issue any kind of statewide requirement as it relates to masks. in fact, he had even prohibited local officials from requiring people to wear masks or finding people if they didn't wear masks. he had more recently allowed local officials to require businesses to require customers and employees to wear masks. even up employees to wear masks. even up untilafew employees to wear masks. even up until a few days ago, he was really holding out on taking

any action like this and imposing a statewide mask mandate as we saw today. 0k, and how is it going down? 0bviously and how is it going down? obviously there has been a lot of sense among many texans actually that they are able to push ahead, they are doing really well, they are up in the front line if you like of dealing with all this, and now they are sitting somewhere near they are sitting somewhere near the back of the queue. it also is pretty difficult to come to terms with. yes, there is no doubt you have some members of abbott's party, the republican party, who really value personal responsibility and we re very personal responsibility and were very enthusiastic about texas being one of the earliest and texas being one of the earliest a nd fastest texas being one of the earliest and fastest states to reopen. who are now upset that we are essentially taking steps backwards in this reopening and imposing new statewide mandates. so you do have a segment of his party that is upset with this. at the same time, you have local elected officials and some of the biggest cities here in texas. those cities are largely run by

democrats who are probably grateful for this democrats who are probably gratefulfor this in announcement today because they we re announcement today because they were asking the government to give them more power to mandate mask wearing locally orjust ta ke mask wearing locally orjust take a statewide action like you did today. those local officials are probably pretty happy with what he did today and they probably believe it was perhaps too little too late. i wouldn't say they are upset with this at all. what are we to make them, patrick, ofa are we to make them, patrick, of a line has come injust a few minutes saying that the texas republican panel has actually voted to hold the state party convention in person in houston month? yes, that was a vote that just happened moments ago by the state republican executive committee which is a group of over 60 republican party activists who make the state party decisions when it comes to these things. this was really, kind of, the grassroots of the republican party in texas. it skews more

conservative, more ideological, and more, kind of, just stridently political than the average republican voter in texas. this is a group of republican activists in texas who probably have some pretty strong views in terms of forging ahead with this convention. and they really believe in personal responsibility and really believe in some cases that the pirates of this may be over —— threat overblown and exploited by the media or democrats. i think this was a group, there was a vote which was a0 — 20. this is a group that prides itself on the principle of individual freedom itself on the principle of individualfreedom and itself on the principle of individual freedom and personal responsibility and being able to forge ahead and uphold this ina way to forge ahead and uphold this in a way that they hope is safe. i should note that now that we have a statewide mask mandate, this event will be held with mask use required. and it is going to be,

probably, a much smaller attendance than they would normally get for want of their conventions in a presidential election year. an intriguing time to have the to deal with as well. patrick, thank you very much indeed. let's get some of the day's other news. iranian authorities say there has been an explosion and fire at the country's main nuclearfuel production site at natanz. doors can be seen ripped from their hinges and a collapsed roof. the authorities did not say what caused the incident, but a previously unknown group called ‘homeland cheetahs' emailed the bbc to say it carried out the explosion. colombian security forces have arrested eight left—wing rebels for their alleged involvement in a deadly car bomb attack against a police academy last year. the eln said it carried out the attack, which killed 22 people in the capital, bogota. the japanese authorities have asked the us to extradite a former special forces soldier and his son who are accused of helping the ex nissan

boss, carlos ghosn, flee japan last year. despite being under house arrest, mr ghosn — who the japanese authorities accuse of financial misconduct — managed to evade security checks and fly to lebanon. the british socialite, ghislaine maxwell, has appeared in court in the usjust hours after she was arrested by the fbi. the 58—year—old has been charged with grooming girls for herformer boyfriend, the convicted paedophile jeffrey epstein, and repeatedly lying about it. prosecutors claim that ghislaine maxwell helped epstein to exploit underage girls — some as young as ia. she has denied any wrongdoing, as well as any knowledge of epstein's crimes. neda tawfik has this report. until now, ghislaine maxwell has remained out of sight ever since the arrest of sex offender and paedophile jeffrey epstein. as his former girlfriend and closest associate,

she is central to the fbi's probe of his sex crimes against underage girls. authorities had been discreetly keeping tabs on her whereabouts for the last year. when they moved in to arrest her on thursday, she was living on a 156—acre property that she bought in cash to shield her identity. we've been discreetly keeping tabs on maxwell's whereabouts as we work this investigation and, more recently, we learned she'd slithered away to a gorgeous property in new hampshire, continuing to live a life of privilege while her victims live with the trauma inflicted upon them years ago. federal prosecutors in new york have charged her with six criminal counts linked to epstein's alleged sex trafficking operation, including enticing a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts and two counts of perjury. they allege the victims were as young as ia years old when the crimes took place, between 199a and 1997. she has previously denied all of the allegations against her. maxwell would discuss sexual topics with the victim and undress in front of the victim, or be present

for sex acts involving the minor victims and epstein. maxwell's presence as an adult woman helped put the victims at ease. as maxwell and epstein intended, this grooming process left the minor victims susceptible to sexual abuse. the daughter of the late media magnate robert maxwell is a long—time friend of prince andrew. in this now—infamous photo from 2001, the two are seen with virginia giuffre, who says she was trafficked to maxwell's home in central london to have sex with prince andrew. in an interview with newsnight which led to his retirement from public duty, prince andrew was asked directly about it. i have no recollection of ever meeting this lady. none whatsoever. you don't remember meeting her? nope. prince andrew has long denied having sex with underage girls, but prosecutors today reiterated their desire

to speak with him. i will say that we would welcome prince andrew coming in to talk with us. we would like to have the benefit of his statement. ghislaine maxwell appeared briefly in court in new hampshire, and remains in custody, but her trial will take place here in new york, where she faces 35 years in prison if convicted. it is a major moment for epstein's victims, who have had to relive their trauma in the public eye while fighting for justice for decades. nada tawfik, bbc news. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: how new york is trying to welcome back tourists — ahead of thejuly the fourth — 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

asa as a green light for travelling to england, the government lifts quarantine rules for visitors from france, germany, spain and italy. us prosecutors charge the british socialite, ghislaine maxwell, with grooming young girls for her former boyfriend — the convicted paedophile jeffrey epstein. one of the many side effects of the covid pandemic has been a dramatic drop in organs being offered for donation. doctors at one of the uk's leading transplant hospitals, royal papworth in cambridge, say that at the height of the crisis the supply of available organs almost dried up and more patients than usual died on the waiting list. 0ur science correspondent richard westcott reports. it's busy again now, but covid cast as long shadow over these transplant awards. not because patients were getting it, because the supply of donor organs almost dried up. i've

gone through to your answer phone. hello, pauline? hello there. the technology actually works. 0nly desperately needed new lungs, but she went on the donor listjust new lungs, but she went on the donor list just days new lungs, but she went on the donor listjust days before the country lockdown. as the hospitals braced themselves for covid she expected a long wait, but then the call came. it was 5:30am and just about to have brea kfast 5:30am and just about to have breakfast and the transplant nurse called me and she said to me, she said, oh, we believe we have a pair of lungs for you. and she went through everything andi and she went through everything and ijust and she went through everything and i just burst and she went through everything and ijust burst into tears, because obviously you think the donor, theirfamily, because obviously you think the donor, their family, because somebody has lost their life. so you don't really know how to feel stop we are filming with the doors shut to keep her safe. pauline has this incredible description of her new life. i woke up and i had a huge task, because 0h was only

used to very small amounts of airwithin my used to very small amounts of air within my lungs used to very small amounts of airwithin my lungs and used to very small amounts of air within my lungs and i could taking full breath. just amazing. but pawleena knows she was lucky. carolyn, hello. doctors here see the number of donor organs available fell by around 90% as the pandemic struck. many more patients than usual died while waiting. it's because most organs come from intensive care units and they we re intensive care units and they were struggling to cope with covid stop so the number of donors remains lower than it would be normally, which impacts on the number of translators we are able to perform. the number of donors is increasing and the number of translators able to be performed as a result is increasing. we are not yet back to normal levels but we have to be in the not—too—distant future. ' transport operations across the country are now about two—thirds of the way back to normal —— in fact transplant. upstairs, pauline was finally ready to go home. it's a moving moment for her and the staff. husband colin is

waiting anxiously outside. because of the virus, these two haven't been able to meet four weeks. pauline says. she wants a cup of tea in her own home. longer term, believe it or not, with her new lungs she says she wa nts to with her new lungs she says she wants to climb mount snowdon. richard westcott, bbc news, royal papworth richard westcott, bbc news, royal pa pworth in richard westcott, bbc news, royal papworth in cambridge. one of hong kong's leading pro—democracy campaigners has fled the territory, following china's introduction of sweeping new powers. nathan law said he would continue his advocacy work from an as yet undisclosed location. mr law said he was confident that the pro—democracy protest movement would continue. he also told the bbc how he came to the decision. the implementation of the national security law and everyone who merely had an interview talking about us china relationships or even sanctions would be seen as a violation of the national security law.

so for now we need a public figure that will go to the international stage to spread the hong kong story and demands with an international advocacy campaign and that is the impetus for my move. hundreds of thousands of people marching down to the street on the very first day of the implementation of national security laws shows that that is a huge thing inside hong kong and hong kong people will not give up even though they risk severe results. i think the movement is alive. nathan law talking to the bbc. let's get some of the day's other news. we start with the uk focus. the uk and the eu say serious differences remain over a post—brexit trade deal, following negotiations in

brussels. the latest talks are the first to be held in person since the covid—19 crisis began. the uk has ruled out extending the december deadline. more than 800 people have been arrested, after british and european police infiltrated a top secret chat network used by criminal gangs. drugs, guns and millions of dollars in cash were also seized. two of the biggest harry potter fan websites have distanced themselves from the authorj.k. rowling — who created the fictional boy wizard — over her recent comments on transgender issues. critics accused ms rowling of being transphobic after she suggested that demands for some transgender rights were harmful to women. now, really, this is extraordinary. the volume of electrical goods

thrown away last year weighed roughly the same as 300 large cruise ships. that alarming analogy comes from the global e—waste monitor — which has just concluded a major global study. the message from the report is conclusive: "the way in which we produce, consume, and dispose of e—waste is unsustainable." 0ur reporter freya cole has the story. a mountain of waste, disused telephones, old televisions and a tangle of cords. these workers in vietnam are at the forefront of handling global electronic waste, and it is a growing business. translation: only recently did we start collecting e—waste as we saw more and more electronics being discarded. we also profit more from these. the world is addicted to the latest technology — out with the old, in with the new — but a report led by the united nations has revealed the consequences of this obsession. electronic waste is anything with a battery or a plug. according to the study, the world generated more than 53 million tons of e—waste last year butjust 17.a% was recycled. it most likely ends up buried or burnt. last year, 98 million tons of toxic chemicals were released into the environment and that amount of electronic waste

is worth more than 57 million us dollars. the report reveals that china, the united states and india are the world's worst offenders but it is a global problem. it is quite simple, if you go by the total waste generated by continent, it is asia simply because they have the biggest world population but if we go by per capita, then it is europe, by far leading with like norway, et cetera, generating more than 25 kg per capita. the report says a solution is better recycling programmes but the onus is on big tech companies to make a longer lasting electronics and the consumer to cut back on things that they

do not need. freya cole, bbc news. that is a loss of waste, isn't it? if it's the 3rd ofjuly today, it must be the ath ofjuly on saturday. for new york city that would usually be the queue for a swarm of tourists, visiting for thejuly fourth fireworks, or a broadway show. but the coronavirus pandemic has knocked the tourism industry sideways, with international travellers grounded, and now visitors from 16 us states with high infection rates must quarantine upon arrival. laura trevelyan has this report. the view of the statue of liberty is stunning from the water and there is nothing blocking the view from the harbour cruise either. tourists here are scarce and the city is losing millions of dollars a day as citizens avoid the place that was the original heart of the coronavirus outbreak. brian manages a hotel in the bowery area of manhattan. most of the guests now are medical workers.

american tourists are starting to book rooms. he is working on how to be welcoming behind plexiglass. hospitality is a relationship—based industry. the mask means smiling is harder to communicate warmth and hospitality, so how do you smile and show that through your eyes? so we are talking about those things. but how to make staff feel safe is the challenge. this woman has been volunteering at a food bank since she was laid off at a hotel front desk. her union is pushing for safe conditions and she is on the fence about going back, to given the number of guests she normally sees. on a regular day more than 300 people, because people leave, people check—in. do you anticipate you will return to work injuly? i don't know how i would feel about the commute to manhattan, taking the train, so i am still waiting for that to see how it feels. new york city is one of the most popular destinations in the world usually attracting more than 60

million tourists a year. but the coronavirus outbreak has had a catastrophic impact on tourism and it is far from clear just how long the recovery will take. jonathan runs a think tank focusing on the new york economy. out in queens, at the park where the world fair was held in 196a, he says the city has a history of resilience. we must go above and beyond to show that the city has a public health reform response that makes people safe in a pandemic. the good thing is new york has done this before. after 9/11 there were significant fears around the globe that people would not come to new york because of fears of terrorism. but i think the city took a lot of steps to make people feel safe. how to do that so manhattan bustles again with tourists and their dollars is the question. a coronavirus vaccine may reassure travellers. perhaps byjuly fourth next year, new york city will be its vibrant

and crowded self again. and we are going to focus on the hospitality doldrums in business in just the hospitality doldrums in business injust a moment, so don't go away. good morning. we're halfway through 2020. it's supposed to be the middle of summer but the weather is very un—summerlike, unfortunately at the moment. as you can see through thursday afternoon, across the midlands and south—east england, we had a rash of showers and some of those were heavy and thundery with it as well. we did close the day on thursday with a window a finer weather out to the west, but look what is waiting in the wings. more cloud and more rain on its way, an area of low pressure will push in over the next few hours, bringing some heavy rain with it and if we look out into the atlantic, we can see that it is fairly extensive and will have a conveyor belt of wet and perhaps pretty windy weather for this time of year. it will, however, be a relatively mild start. double digits with the wind direction coming from the southwest with more of a humid feel developing across the country. some of the rain through northern ireland and western scotland first thing in the morning will be quite

heavy. we're going to see a couple of inches of rain maybe more to higher ground as we going into the afternoon and it starts to pep up across wales as well. so, this is a snapshot into the afternoon, scattered sharp showers through the northern isles. central and southern parts of scotland will see heavier rain, particularly the further west you are, the rain easing a touch into northern ireland with some heavier bursts across wales and southwest england. maybe the midlands and the southeast of england staying largely dry for much of the day, and if that happens, 21 degrees will be the high. we will see more wet weather feeding in particularly through northern ireland, southern scotland and northern england and it will stay pretty breezy to the south in particular. and because that wind direction again from the southwest, it will drag up some pretty humid air with it, so, despite the cloud, you will notice the feel when you're stepping outside. some of that rain fairly persistent through northern ireland, southern scotland, and in northwest england and wales, and just like last weekend, pretty windy with it and unusually windy for this time of year with gusts in excess of potentially 30 miles an hour. we do manage to get a few breaks in the cloud and there will be very few and then temperatures will likely peak at 22 or 23 degrees. that humidity will start to ease for the second half of the weekend as the wind

direction changes to more of a northwesterly. so, a cooler source but weather will start to dry up at the beginning of next week. take care.

this is bbc news with the latest business headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. back in business — pubs, bars, hotels a nd restau ra nts across the uk are allowed to reopen from saturday. but will hospitality ever be the same? and a warning from the us — as virus cases surge to another record high — and businesses are forced back into lockdown we start with the hospitality industry because from tomorrow, hotels, campsites, restaurants, pubs and bars in england are

allowed to reopen. it's a very different world from the one they operated in before the lockdown — and it has meant intensive work to put appropriate hygiene and social distancing measures in place. sarah corker reports from lancashire. the beer has arrived... the bar is almost ready and the signs are up. at the dog in in black turn, they opening the doors from 2pm until 8pm on saturday, reduced hours to manage numbers and drinking. to be close has felt terrible, to be open again — i know there is going to be problems and issues and i'm sure something is going to go wrong, but frankly i can't wait. this pub is owned and run by the local community and reopening date means much more than just selling points. reopening date means much more thanjust selling points. some people haven't spoken to

anybody outside of telephone calls or zoom calls for months. to actually go out and see people face—to—face is going to be really important. the car park has been turned into a seating area as pubs make the most of their outdoor spaces for some alfresco dining. they will be hoping for some better weather at the weekend though. as the economy slowly starts coming back to life, the uk tourism industry is now preparing for a boom in stay — cations. uncertainty over foreign travel has for some people to swap corfu for cornwall, and make data for the la ke cornwall, and make data for the lake district. another silver linings for this whole thing is people may come back for the british holiday. this is the uk's largest holiday operator was 67 sites. at this point in windermere, safety measures are now in place. this is all set up now in place. this is all set up and ready? we are doing our drive—through checking. the

unit will be open. you don't have to interact with people, essentially? no interaction at all with anybody. how much of an opportunity could this be for domestic terrorism? hour booking number so dreamily strong. we have seen great growth in ourjuly, august and september bookings. what is really encouraging is that we are seeing lots of rope in september, october november. 0ver september, october november. over the border in wales, there isa over the border in wales, there is a different mood. there was government is yet to set a date of when indoor dining can resume. this couple has three businesses but with no money coming in on bills to pay, they are under pressure. it's a hugely emotional time for all of us because, as personally, we have invested ten years of our lives in setting up these businesses. we're really proud of what we do and the employment that we have been able to and offer people. it is gruelling, i think. every able to and offer people. it is gruelling, ithink. every month this restaurant is closed, they lose £30,000. we don't get open

and up and running before the furlough scheme starts to taper off, then a cash flow becomes impossible essentially because there is very little cash flow when things are like this. back in lancashire, the biggest challenge maybe enforcing the rules. if anybody isn't following the social distancing rules, they will be first of all given a warning and if they still aren't following rules, and they will be asked to leave. so a reminder not to get carried away as many of us return to the pub this weekend. sarah corker, bbc news. getting those pumps working again. from the north—west of england to the south—west. let's go to the seaside village of boscombe — near bournemouth in dorset. it does look as if the weather is slightly brighter than the north—west of england as well. mark cribb runs the urban guild, which operates a boutique hotel and restaurants in the area. he also hosts a weekly podcast for the hospitality trade. thank you forjoining us.

difficult to have an app beat podcast at the moment but you have just heard the sentiment from the north—west of england andi from the north—west of england and i guess you would share them. just about to hit have you been? catastrophic really. i think anybody in a seasonal town, a tourism town, it is tough for anybody. we have a very small window of time and we need to make our money and the money we make in the summer is generally what pays all of the teams and keeps the business afloat for the summer. it was catastrophic timing. we have just come through a very difficult winter, multiple elections, brexit, big storms hitting the coast. we were just getting ready for summer. tough timing and a catastrophic impact on the business but we are here and excited to get open tomorrow. you are also in a very popular part of the world for visitors, we heard there that there is hope that into september, october, even november up in the north—west of england, they could see business picking up. by getting the same sort of traction now? is there enough there perhaps to save this year? i think it's

maybe going to be a less bad year. never happens, were going to have a good year. whatever happens in the window, there is less daylight hours, less people travelling but that is the hope. that is what we're clinging on for. and indicating is we need the british people to support us, we really do. hospitality is the reason for existence, time with friends, families and friends, birthdays and anniversaries — it's what we all live for. if the british people can take a staycation, and support bars and restau ra nts, and support bars and restaurants, will keep you safe. we have done that for many years. in bars and restau ra nts, many years. in bars and restaurants, we have always had shellfish and the potential for undercooked food. chefs and waiters always washing their hands. we know how to look after people and how we really need people to get up there and support us. we will see over time whether that happens or not and obviously if there are other lockdowns and restrictions, of course you could still be buffeted by those. i just could still be buffeted by those. ijust wonder how valuable and how effect if the government's help has been. i

mean, furloughing for you, what is that meant? furloughing is phenomenal. i don't think you would find anybody in any industry, certainly in his fidelity, it is really saved ourteam. as fidelity, it is really saved our team. as businesses but it is really saved our team. we employ a lot of people here. it is the third largest sector in the country. we employ over 3.5 million people. that was the most terrifying bit, worrying how our teams will look after themselves. that has been brilliant. what we now need to focus on is how we're going to support the businesses and i think there is more the government can do, maybe following some of the examples europe, such as germany who has type two cutter vat noted the next few months. bat is fundamentally a tax on revenue and every hospitality business is going to need to keep revenue in the business of the moment. a tax on profit? no problem because there's not going to be a prophet. if we can use our revenue to keep people employed — brilliant. some of the other things the government has done, debt isn't really the answer. this is a small industry and just getting more debt to get for the next

six months isn't the answer. we to need more support from the government. we will see if it comes. mark, best of luck to you. let's get an international perspective on this now. david mcdowall is chief operating officer of craft brewing giant brewdog — which has 101 bars around the world and exports its beer to 60 countries. he's in glasgow. thank you very much for your time. i mean, brewdog is a very interesting case. i wonder how the bars are going but you diversified, effectively into pubs and bars didn't youth for presumably a better hold within the industry? is that now something you might regret? we might not get an answer... i am afraid we are frozen thereon david. let's see if we can get back to that because that is not budging and ends at the moment. sorry about that. hopefully we can get back to

brewdog. let's go to the us now — where president trump has been hailing a record month forjob creation — we were told to expect around three million newjobs. in fact us employers hired a.8 million people injune — far more than anyone had expected. but optimism about the recovery has been tempered by another record number. virus cases are surging in parts of the country — hitting their highest levels for the fifth day in just over a week. and it's forcing some us states to close businesses again. the bbc‘s samira hussain reports from new york. after months of being under lockdown, restaurants in california reopened and the people came. but with the number of cases in the state up significantly, the governor of california has ordered bars, restau ra nts a nd california has ordered bars, restaurants and movie theatres to close their doors again. we we re to close their doors again. we were able to bend the curve in a state of california, and we going to bend this car began.

and it's not just going to bend this car began. and it's notjust california, arizona, florida, texas have all seen a record surge in cases. new outbreaks of the virus has meant that at least 16 us states have paused or rolled back their reopening plans. the outbreaks in other us states are even having an impact right here. new york city has largely been able to bring the virus under control but soaring cases elsewhere has made this city rethink its plans. in restaurant dining at reduced capacity was meant to begin on monday but those plans have now been put on hold indefinitely. this vietnamese restau ra nt indefinitely. this vietnamese restaurant in brooklyn is setting up an outdoor patio for its customers. now that indoor dining won't be happening for a while. sous chef understands why the city is holding back. limiting dining and indoor dining is probably the best for us dining is probably the best for us right now. we are not in any

rush as long as we can control the situation and we are not implementing and being a part of the problem. officials and medical experts have always said that infection levels will need to be closely watched as states start to reopen. despite the warnings, this is a setback many will not welcome. samira hussain bbc news, new york. bill street is group chief investment officer of quintet private bank — he's at home in south—west london. just looking at the markets yesterday, they seemed to tell that story quite well didn't they, a bit of a giddy start to they, a bit of a giddy start to the day and then sobering up as the day and then sobering up as the appreciation of all of this lockdown and the higher coronavirus figures are coming in. i mean, how do you read those extraordinary figures or job uptake but in a very difficult environment? look, we are seeing a lots of noisy

data. this data is high—frequency and some of the stats that have been building up stats that have been building up behind the data, is difficult to imagine for obvious reasons. because of this shutdown and the opening up this shutdown and the opening up of the economies. what we can say is that we are past the inflection point. every new data point we were getting out of the us, especially, is incrementally better, noisy but incrementally better, noisy but incrementally better. as i think you said in your previous report, the biggest challenge the states have is this tension between federal and state level governors of the public health and how quickly they can open up and how quickly they can open up their economies or their state—level economies without creating a huge impact on the r number, and increasing infection rates. and therefore having to tighten the lockdown again. presumably, the same time we're getting there is very encouraging job uptake

figures, we are getting very discouraging rates about the number of cases. so should we expect in a month's maybe to mark month's time, once again, a large number of people to be laid off because these are presumably jobs being created in public areas like hospitality, back into the area where they could be shut down? yes and i think this is the biggest challenge we see and the divergence where you take the divergence where you take the approach the europeans are taking. there's been a lot more disciplined about how they have been approaching their economy and how they've approached opening the economy relative to the state of their public health and the r—num number and the infection rates. the thing we can say is that the us is taking a much more liberal approach in terms of opening up the economy, allowing state—level authorities to open up state—level authorities to open up as state—level authorities to open up as soon as state—level authorities to open up as soon as they can. and we are seeing this second—order impact of this which is a

second surge and spice infection rates. however, i would say, the bar is very, very high to start shutting economies back down. we have seen economies back down. we have seenin economies back down. we have seen in isolated spots, so in the uk in leicester, and states like texas. it will be very high barto like texas. it will be very high bar to start closing economies back down again. u nfortu nately economies back down again. unfortunately what that means is if you don't close down the economy and the infection rates remain high, you're going to have more of a public health issue than you are going to have an economic issue. it is quite a conundrum isn't it, thank you very much forjoining us, bill. david mcdowall is chief operating officer of craft brewing giant brewdog — which has 101 bars around the world and exports its beer to 60 countries. he's in glasgow. you have 101 bazza around the world as well as selling the beer, it is like a game of two

halves, sales of is doing quite well but the bazza doing nothing. exactly that. we believe in hospitality and believe in hospitality and believe our bars are an incredibly important part of our business or our community and customers. we also believe hospitality is incredibly important to the fabric of communities and society and economy. it has been incredibly tough and they think it will be a very slow and steady build to get bars and roest is back on their feet get bars and roest is back on theirfeet again. get bars and roest is back on their feet again. one of the things we have heard time and again is that sales of alcohol have done pretty well across the piece. i think you have extended your online service as well and deliveries and the like. have you actually managed to counteract, cancel out the losses ? to counteract, cancel out the losses? absolutely not. we have managed to close some of the gap, that's for sure. when you look in the broad grand scheme of things than alcohol sales in

supermarkets and e—commerce has grown, but that hasn't cancelled out or outweighed the alcohol that now isn't consumed in pars and —— in bars and pubs in response. we lost 72% of our revenue overnight and a lot of pure hospitality operators lost 100. and either way you cut thatis 100. and either way you cut that is a very difficult place to be. you have bars in the bars, the uk, germany, you are global in that respect. are there some that simply won't survive and others that are in a pretty good place? is there much uniformity here or not? what we have seen is there are some similarities and there are some similarities and there are some differences. we are in 20 countries around the world. i think the similarities we have seen think the similarities we have seen is that in broad terms customers, when we return, do so customers, when we return, do so in customers, when we return, do soina customers, when we return, do so in a very safe way and take ca re of so in a very safe way and take care of each other and take

ca re of care of each other and take care of teams and other customers as well. the differences country by country have predominantly been around the pace and the effectiveness of the various government interventions. ok, david, thanks very much. good luck. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: we've got a special report on the facebook ads boycott — mark zuckerberg says the advertisers will be back — but is facebook losing control of the situation? 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

more than 600 brands have now pulled their advertising from facebook and its sister site instagram, as pressure mounts on the company to do more about hate speech and misinformation. but facebook is standing firm. its founder and ceo, mark zuckerburg, says he thinks advertisers will be back ‘soon enough‘, adding that threats to revenue won't be enough to force the social media giant to change its policies. ros atkins has more. think of facebook‘s size. 3 billion users, annual revenue of $70 billion, all built on targeted ads and with one man in charge. i don't think that any one individual or any company should be making so many decisions about important values for society like free expression and safety. but is facebook losing control? can it manage misinformation and hate speech? facebook is certainly

under pressure. it is facing an advertiser boycott that is growing by the day. it was started by the campaign stop eat for profit. it was the content it was gone by —— from facebook and instagram. it includes white supremacy, anti—semitism, and vaccine misinformation. it resonated. all of these countries have now joined the boycott. lego for example says it was to contribute to a positive, inclusive, digital environment. the languages most up from clothing company patagonia. their business model is flawed and they failed to take the steps needed to remedy it. more than ever they are in debt —— endangering human health and weakening democratic systems. concerns about contact on facebook are global, from islamophobia in australia and new zealand to mysteries from donald trump. facebook has its defence. the man behind nicks 0rocobre care is nick clegg. defence. the man behind nicks 0rocobre care is nick cleggm is vp ‘s of global affairs and communications. in an open letter he says facebook does

not profit from hate. he says of 100 million posts every day a tiny fraction are hateful. though of course even a fraction of 100 billion is still a lot. facebook highlights its policy targeting content from dangerous individuals and organisations, a new campaign with advice on myths information and a new oversight board that will renew contents, though it hasn't yet. we're told facebook as god from identifying a quarter of the hateful content it removes 288% of it. its critics, though, say this isn't enough and three issues cut to the heart of this. the first is facebook‘s scale. nick clegg argues rooting out the hate is like looking for a needle in a haystack. we can't eliminate all hate speech, he says. and on one level his right. the volume of content is vast and ever expanding. any system with struggle to monitor it all. but this isn't all or nothing. this is about reducing the content and making it harder to find, which leads us to the next

issue of which content is targeted, who decides what is truthful and what's hateful. this is mark zuckerberg talking to the bbc. i think you want to generally allow a wide an aperture of expression as possible across the internet. has also said he doesn't want facebook to be an arbiter of truth. this ad boycott is asking all tech platforms to be arbiters and they are reaching different conclusions. twitter labelled a donald trump tweed is glorifying violence. the streaming service which is suspended the trump campaign because of hateful conduct stop that refers to a speech in which he accuses mexico of sending rapists to america. facebook for its part says it has zero tolerance of hateful post but it hasn't removed anything by the president. matters of truth and hate are sometimes clear, often than not. it's a judgement. sometimes clear, often than not. it's ajudgement. in sometimes clear, often than not. it's a judgement. in that judgement around what stays and what goes will not be easily resolved. so we looked at the scale, defining truth and hate,

next to the issue of responsibility. does facebook simply reflect reality? facebook‘s response to this point as restated two of his long—standing beliefs. 0ne, that the vast majority of conversations on its platforms are positive and two, this... when there's hate in the world there will also be hate on facebook. facebook believes it isa facebook. facebook believes it is a force for good, that it is motivated by making the world better, but it reflects society. not so argues walter isaacson. he says facebook does not just reflect society's eight —— hate. indent of —— amplifies it. they are smart enough to fix this, if they wa nt enough to fix this, if they want to. they also are smart enough to know facebook‘s share price as it has navigated several huge devices. facebook does feel pressure but extraordinary success means is not easily bumped off course by boycotts or anything else. i will finished with one important distinction. no doubt people are proving highly susceptible to misinformation and hate speech on the

internet, but facebook is into the internet. it's a business with online products and within its domain and sets the rules. mark zuckerberg still controls these platforms. he has plenty of options and some choices to make. ros atkins there on the challenges facing mark zuckerberg and facebook. and before we go a tale of man's best friend stranded at sea. a bad story but a lovely ending. naval officers in chile spotted a struggling dog about a mile offshore. they pulled the pooch from the chilly coastal waters. now they're trying to find his owner. for now the dog is enjoying the food and warmth of the naval base — and cuddles with his new friends. a reminder of our top story. us prosecuters have charged the british socialite, ghislaine maxwell, with grooming young girls for her former boyfriend — the convicted paedophile jeffrey epstein. maxwell has previously denied wrongdoing — as well as any knowledge

of epstein's crimes. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @bbcdavideades. thanks for being with us. good morning. we're halfway through 2020. it's supposed to be the middle of summer but the weather is very un—summerlike, unfortunately at the moment. as you can see through thursday afternoon, across the midlands and south—east england, we had a rash of showers and some of those were heavy and thundery with it as well. we did close the day on thursday with a window a finer weather out to the west, but look what is waiting in the wings. more cloud and more rain on its way, an area of low pressure will push in over the next few hours, bringing some heavy rain with it and if we look out into the atlantic, we can see that it is fairly extensive and will have a conveyor belt of wet and perhaps pretty windy weather for this time of year. it will, however, be a relatively mild start. double digits with the wind direction coming from the southwest with more of a humid feel developing across the country. some of the rain through northern ireland and western scotland first thing in the morning will be quite heavy. we're going to see a couple

of inches of rain maybe more to higher ground as we going into the afternoon and it starts to pep up across wales as well. so, this is a snapshot into the afternoon, scattered sharp showers through the northern isles. central and southern parts of scotland will see heavier rain, particularly the further west you are, the rain easing a touch into northern ireland with some heavier bursts across wales and southwest england. maybe the midlands and the southeast of england staying largely dry for much of the day, and if that happens, 21 degrees will be the high. we will see more wet weather feeding in particularly through northern ireland, southern scotland and northern england and it will stay pretty breezy to the south in particular. and because that wind direction again from the southwest, it will drag up some pretty humid air with it, so, despite the cloud, you will notice the feel when you're stepping outside. some of that rain fairly persistent through northern ireland, southern scotland, and in northwest england and wales, and just like last weekend, pretty windy with it and unusually windy for this time of year with gusts in excess of potentially 30 miles an hour. we do manage to get a few

breaks in the cloud and there will be very few and then temperatures will likely peak at 22 or 23 degrees. that humidity will start to ease for the second half of the weekend as the wind direction changes to more of a northwesterly. so, a cooler source but weather will start to dry up at the beginning of next week. take care.
