this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. the great summer getaway. from next week, dozens of countries will be exempt from england's quarantine rules. france has a new prime minister, jean castex, the man previously charged with managing france's exit from the lockdown. france has a new prime minister, jean castex, the man previously as pubs in england reopen tomorrow, borisjohnson issues a clear warning to the public. this government will not hesitate in putting on the brakes and reimposing restrictions. plus, nigeria's nollywood is on pause because of the pandemic, but there's hope one of the world's biggest film industries will soon be back at work.

thank you forjoining us here on bbc news. the government in england has finally published its list of countries that will be exempt from uk quarantine rules, due to come into effect next friday. while most of the eu is on the safe list, for those visiting america, portugal and brazil, travellers will still need to self—isolate on arrival and on the way back home. our transport correspondent tom burridge reports. en route to france by train. soon, anyone travelling on the eurotunnel won't have to quarantine in either direction. it will make a tremendous difference. we were over there recently, we came back and we had

to quarantine for two weeks. i am going over to paris today, i am working down there, so the quarantine relaxation is big for me because obviously i'm back in work. people arriving from 59 countries and 1a british overseas territories are to be exempt, although half the countries have restrictions when you arrive there. for those desperate to sell holidays abroad, it is a rare piece of good news. customers that i've spoken to, they are like, "we're happyjust to go on a flight to spain, it doesn't have to be that far," it's just that getting away and going on holiday that customers are wanting. in a week's time, if you travel to low—risk european countries like spain, italy, france and germany, you won't have to self—isolate in either direction. greece is also on the list — although the greek government won't allow uk holidaymakers in until the 15th ofjuly. countries like the united states,

brazil and — more controversially — portugal are not on the list. so, anyone arriving into the uk from those places will still have to quarantine for m days. it means emma has cancelled her holiday. i'm really disappointed not to be going to portugal anymore. i was due to fly on friday with a couple of friends to visit another friend who lives there. we go there every year. i've been tracking the news, knew there was a spike in lisbon last week, but thought maybe there was still a chance i'd be able to go. getting the policy to this point has not been a smooth ride. the near blanket travel quarantine has put people off booking summer holidays. it's been deeply unpopular with struggling travel businesses. and as the government's tried to relax the quarantine, there's been real confusion. tonight, the prime minister defended the way it has all been handled. we have always said that we would have a strong quarantine regime in place, and that is what we are going to have for large numbers of countries around the world, where, i'm afraid, the disease is still prevalent or indeed becoming more prevalent.

but there's an added complication, because if you jet out of inverness or any airport in scotland, wales or northern ireland, the quarantine rules might differ on your return. the scottish government wants more time to decide — as it has concerns about some of the countries on the uk government's list of exemptions. just to illustrate the point about the shifting sands of the uk government's position, the list of countries that they were yesterday demanding that the scottish government sign up to and suggesting that we were a barrier to getting agreement on is not the same as the list that they have shared with us today. so, we need, as the scottish government, to analyse these proposals properly and rationally. but it might be hard for the devolved governments not to follow the new rules in england, because what if someone living in wales drives to bristol and flies in and out from there? and a negative result at a lab

like this one could soon be a way of avoiding quarantine if you're arriving from a high—risk country. testing passengers for covid is expected to begin soon at heathrow. the test will cost around £150. tom burridge, bbc news. president macron has named jean castex as his new french prime minister, following the sudden resignation of edouard philippe. just hours after mr philippe‘s resignation, it was announced that the law court of the republic, which deals with claims of ministerial misconduct, would open an inquiry into the way his government has handled the pandemic. from paris, lucy williamson reports. france's republican guard offers little protection from politics, at the prime minister's residence today, power was transferred at arms length. no handshake allowed to mark the fresh start for president macron‘s government or its new postcard look. —— posts coronavirus

look. the new prime minister described as a new swiss army knife. jean described as a new swiss army knife. jea n castex described as a new swiss army knife. jean castex was propelled to the front line of french politics after yea rs front line of french politics after years in the shadows as a senior civil servant and assistant to former president nicholas sarkozy. he is known these days as mr d confinement, the man who wrote the plan to get france out of lockdown. less tha n plan to get france out of lockdown. less than two years from the next presidential election, that is a success presidential election, that is a success president macron will want to own. the coronavirus epidemic has left mr micron with some tough political decisions, trying to marry his liberal economic agenda with a renewed focus on socialjustice and environmental concerns. translation: the times demand that we set a new course. it's for each

of us to reinvent ourselves, and together we must do things differently. i apply this to myself first and foremost. edouard philippe was seen first and foremost. edouard philippe was seen as a safe first and foremost. edouard philippe was seen as a safe pair of hands during the epidemic and is popular with centre—right voters, so important to macron's base. there jean jea n castex jean castex brings many of the same benefits without the ten point lead over mr impulse. mr philippe... dangerous perhaps to outshine the president at any time, let alone when he is talking about change. lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. let's get some of the day's other news. the first hearing has taken place in turkey in the trial of 20 saudi arabian nationals for the murder of the

journalist jamal khashoggi. his fiancee was the first to give evidence on the killing of mr khashoggi inside the saudi consulate in istanbul almost two years ago. the defendants weren't present for the trial. a series of explosions at a fireworks factory in northwestern turkey has killed four people and injured at least 97. video footage shows a huge plume of smoke rising from the scene near hendek, to the east of istanbul. a little—known kurdish group has claimed responsibility for the deadly factory blasts. the european commission has authorised the use of antiviral drug remdesivir to treat new cases of coronavirus. it comes just days after the united states bought nearly all the manufacturing stock of the drug for the next three months, securing more than 500,000 treatment courses of remdesivir for american hospitals. with the easing of some lockdown restrictions across england on saturday, the chief medical officer has warned that the coronavirus "will be with us for a very long time."

professor chris whitty says relaxing some rules was "not a risk—free step." the prime minister borisjohnson has reiterated that he won't hesitate to reimpose controls if necessary. here's our political correspondent, alex forsyth. so, two of you, yes, please. it's in the diary, the table's booked, businesses preparing to open up after months of lockdown. some restaurant owners not sure what to expect. nobody knows. no—one knows. we have no idea who is going to come, who isn't. this tourist town in the cotswold is gearing up. even in the model village, it feels like a big moment. anxious, nervous, excited. it's a nervous time for number 10 as well — have they got the timing right, or the tone? as we take this next step, our biggest step yet on the road to recovery, i urge the british people to do so safely.

this is what the government wants to avoid. last week, crowds crammed onto bournemouth beach, seemingly ignoring social distancing. critics claim the prime minister's public messaging was in part to blame. tomorrow's been described as super saturday. you're confident at this point that you have struck the right balance between the country's health and the economy and are you confident you've got the right public messaging? and to the scientists, if i may, are you comfortable with the pace at which this unlocking is progressing? we look at the efforts the public have made, we think this is the moment cautiously to reopen the hospitality sector in the way that we're doing, but our advice to everybody is to respect the guidance. there is no perfect time, there is no perfect, exact way of doing it. what this is is an attempt to balance as best we can the multiple risks in a way that makes it possible for society to be as close as possible to normal.

this virus is a long way from gone. but it's not going to be gone for a very, very long time. this is a significant moment for the country, but it is a significant political moment, too. the government has faced real criticism for the way it has handled aspects of this crisis. now, as england faces the biggest easing of restrictions so far, ministers can only hope they've got this right. just days ago, leicester was the first place subject to a local lockdown after a spike in cases, a reminder if we needed one this pandemic is unpredictable, and it's farfrom over. alex forsyth, bbc news, westminster. do stay with us on bbc news. still to come: the washington redskins launch a review of its controversial name after demands from major sponsors. we'll get reaction to the move, next.

this is bbc news. the latest headlines: england lifts some of its strict quarantine rules, but only for people coming from a select list of countries. france has a new prime minister, jean castex. he's the man who managed france out of lockdown. the formula i season is finally getting under way, and it's four months late due to the coronavirus pandemic. lewis hamilton has made a powerful statement by unveiling a new helmet design. he's switched to a black base colour, with a black lives matter logo and messaging. mercedes have also repainted their cars black, to show support for anti—racism and diversity. for more on how formula i branding is changing, here's the bbc‘s formula i reporter, jennie gow. i think it's a really positive step that formula i

is embracing their world champion and they're embracing a movement that is happening globally. we have to get greater diversity into all elements of life, and that's what formula i is saying. quite boldly, quite proudly, it's saying, "0k, we haven't got it right at the moment, but we want to do as much as we can to change it." black and purple with, instead of "still i rise" on the back, "still we rise". he is very much driving this campaign within formula i. and what a great spokesperson to have for your sport right now. he is in a unique situation where he can drive change, and he really wants to be responsible for that. so he set up a commission, he wants to provide answers to questions people that don't know at the moment, and ijust think it's genuinely positive news for all involved with motorsport. meanwhile in the united states, the washington redskins nfl team has agreed a review of its controversial team name following renewed pressure from its main sponsor.

fedex, a major sponsor of the franchise and the team's stadium, is asking them to remove the controversial name which has long been considered offensive to native americans. the latest calls come after a fresh focus on racism sparked by worldwide protests over the death of george floyd. for more on this, let's speak to cindy boren, a sports reporter from the washington post. thank you very much forjoining us, cindy. tell us more about this pressure on the redskins. is it coming just from fedex or much wider than that? it is much wider than that. fedex, as you know, has the naming rights to the stadium and also the ceo is one of the minority owners of the team, so that carries extra weight. pepsi has weighed in an overnight, nike removed all redskins paraphernalia from its online website. you can't buy redskins themed jerseys and shorts and stuff like that, so that's

around $600 billion worth of companies there that are sending a pretty strong message. 0bviously... it's a strong amount of pressure. ya. this is not the first time we are hearing these calls coming to change the name, so what might be different this time? i think what has changed in the last month, of course, was the protests in the street after the death of george boyd and others. i think also, there's a realisation —— george floyd and others. nfl commissioner roger caddell put out a statement after floyd died, saying the and if it did not get it right —— roger goodell. and said, as far as the nfl is concerned, black lives matter and they want to be involved in diversity. many of the up—and—coming stars in the league, the

quarterbacks, are black and biracial. this is where it is headed. it makes sense. they are making a purely business decision on one hand and also a decision with their hearts, their wallets and their hearts, their wallets and their hearts. with all that said, why has the team been so resistant to change? what reasons has it given for this in the past? the owner, daniel snyder, grew up rooting for the team. he loves it with a passion, but almost to the detriment of the team for the last 20 years, and he has said, put it all in capital letters, never. things have a way of changing. he also wants to build a new stadium, he would like to put that in washington, dc. the stadium they have now is in maryland, in the suburbs, it is antiquated, it is awful, and dc government leadership says, not initially change the name. so there are number of pressures coming there

on him and you also hope he has a little more ultra stick reasons for wanting to do it. cindy boren, aq very much for sharing —— thank you very much for sharing —— thank you very much. as the retail sector battles to find safe ways of operating during the pandemic, spare a thought for the cosmetics counter. the risk of covid—i9 transmission can make the act of trying and buying makeup very difficult, but south korea — praised for its handling of the pandemic — may have found the answer, as reged ahmad reports. spot the difference. this is cosmetics shopping in south korea via the augmented reality experience — technology that aims to allow the customer to try and buy while minimising the risk of contracting covid—i9. the mirror shows the real you. the embedded screen then takes a photo, analyses it and suggests products. but what makes this technology really useful is that it allows people to test out cosmetic colours

without ever trying them on. translation: due to coronavirus, it was uncomfortable to test cosmetics after someone had used it. but this is very convenient, as i can see actual colour on my face in a form of the augmented reality image without even touching my face. it's also very hygienic, so i can try out without any concerns. south korea already has guidelines that recommend shoppers try cosmetics out on the backs of their hands, but this is an industry where nearly the entire shopping experience is about putting product on yourface, which means an inventive approach is needed to keep the counters open. that includes installing qr codes next to products. customers can scan it using their phones to check details and avoid contact with staff as well. south korea has never really locked down in the same way other countries have.

the trace, test and treat method of controlling the coronavirus pandemic has been widely praised, and case numbers remain relatively low. even so, the country is still battling for persistent outbreaks, triggering even tighter social distancing measures. some augmented reality technology is already available via phone apps, and there's no guarantee once you've taken the products home that you'll fall in love with the real experience. but south korea's innovative technological solutions do give an insight into how the future shopping experience might look in the age of covid—i9. reged ahmad, bbc news. that's not the only industry that's experiencing change. the film and television industry around the world is taking a substantial hit fom the pandemic. now, when you consider that nigeria's nollywood is the country's

second biggest employer, a significant contributor to gdp, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, understandable why the industry is keen to receive the go—ahead from the government to get the cameras rolling once again. princess iredea bumere reports from lagos. i was counting on this deal to give us both a new start. why didn't you show? nollywood is the second—largest film producer in the world after india's bollywood. a lockdown in march due to coronavirus forced all productions to come to a halt, significantly affecting the industry. la femme anjola is one of the films that was put on hold due to the pandemic. it was one of the most anticipated movies of 2020 because it features one of nollywood's biggest stars, rita dominic. obviously, this is a film we spent money on, we have investors, there are agreements.

all that stuff is moot now because of this pandemic. over a million people are employed by the industry, but because of covid—i9, their source of income has been frozen for almost four months. so many people, crewmembers, who depend on this job and they earn weekly, daily, all the time. nollywood generates millions of us dollars annually. because of the halt in production, the industry has lost millions of dollars. production houses are looking to start filming in the next two months, but they're waiting for official confirmation from the nigerian government. i think if you look at the wider production sector — so, the film industry as a whole — production, even training and what talents we have earned, what ancillary businesses like welfare and equipment owners,

i would not be surprised if that number was nearer 15 to 20 billion, just in terms of the sheer amount of production that's had to stop. this is one of the viewing halls of filmhouse in lagos, nigeria. it's a popular spot for lovers of nollywood films. they've had their doors shut since march and still don't know when they'll be allowed to reopen. the impact of the coronavirus goes beyond the bottom line of the industry. storylines and life on—set are about to change. actors are anxious, but they are open. so, actors are anxious, they're ready to go back to work, but then what are the guidelines? what are the safety measures? is everybody going to get tested before we start filming? film producers anticipate production costs will rise because they will need to ensure the safety of cast and crew. if there is no vaccine that's found

in the next few months, it means we are going to have to be working under this pandemic. recent years has seen online streaming platforms playing a role in the consumption of nigerian films, with platforms like irok0tv and, most recently, netflix. but cinema and dvd sales are still the main sources of income. as infection rates continue to rise in nigeria, the film industry anticipates when it can return to full production. with uncertain times ahead, covid has forced the industry to rely more on online streaming platforms and television for distribution. princess iredea bumere, bbc news. from nollywood to bollywood now. stars are paying tribute to the celebrated choreographer saroj khan, who has died at the age of 71. (music)

music she choreographed more than 2,000 songs, including some of bollywood's most iconic and popular tunes, in herfour decades in the industry. khan became renowned for her choreography in the 1980s. her work in movies like devdas and guru won her numerous awards, including the prestigious filmfare. she died of cardiac arrest in a hospital in mumbai on friday. a reminder of our top story: the british government has published a long—awaited list of countries from where travellers will be exempt from coronavirus quarantine requirements on arrival in england. the restrictions have been lifted for more than 70 countries and territories, including many popular holiday destinations. however, people arriving from portugal, the united states and several other countries will still have to self—isolate. earlier, the devolved governments of scotland and wales said the plans to relax the restrictions had been a shambles. the regional administrations are in charge of their own health

policies. that's it for now. stay with us here on bbc news. find me on twitter. thanks for watching. hello. whilst for many of us, the day turned windier, cloudier, much wetter as well, there are always exceptions — and for kent today, well, the skies stayed broken even into the afternoon. there were some sunny spells around, but even here, we are likely to see a bit of rain before the day is done, slipping its way southeastwards to those areas that have stayed dry for much of the day. into the weekend, this flood of moist air coming in from the south west with plenty of cloud around to start the weekend, and some outbreaks of rain. that will continue for some of us overnight. where it's been so very wet across parts of scotland, actually, it will be drier overnight. some chilly, clear spells into northeast scotland, but a really warm and muggy night underneath that cloud cover for much of england and wales.

it stays windy, as it will be into tomorrow, with a lot of cloud around. some outbreaks of rain, more especially into the north and west. very patchy in nature, not falling with the same intensity as it did today. if you're to the east of high ground, you may get to see a few sunny spells. if you do, it will feel quite warm and humid out there, despite a wind gusting around 30—110 mph. it gets windier still overnight and into sunday. you can see by looking at the big picture here, this area of low pressure will pass close to scotland, driving a weather front southwards on sunday. but it's the squeeze in the isobars just to the southern flank of this area of low pressure where we will see the strongest winds. now, the cold front will introduce cooler and fresher air for the north on sunday, getting rid of all of that cloud and humidity. so it will brighten up on sunday once we lose any showery rain in the south. so, sunny spells and showers on sunday, the showers most frequent in scotland, in northern ireland, some

heavy, possibly thundery. the major concern on sunday is the strength of wind, again, just on the southern flank of that low pressure. parts of scotland, northern england and northern ireland could see some gusts around 50—60 mph, maybe a bit more in some spots, potentially disruptive winds, then, on sunday, could cause some problems — more like autumn then summer — and it will begin to turn cooler from the north, even though there will be some sunny spells around. taking a glimpse into next week, monday still very blustery, sunshine, a few showers around. whilst we keep low—pressure close, particularly for scotland and northern ireland with further rain at times, the further south you are in england and wales, looks mainly dry, warmer, sunny spells.

help

this is bbc world news. the headlines: england has published a list of countries which will be exempt from strict quarantine regulations for travellers. it includes italy and spain, but not portugal or the us where coronavirus cases are still rising. france has a new prime minister, the centre right politician jean castex. he's known as the man who organised france's emergence from lockdown, and replaces edouard philippe, who will now be investigated for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic. england will see a further easing of coronavirus restrictions on saturday as businesses including pubs, restaurants and hairdressers are allowed to reopen for the first time since lockdown began in march. brazil's president — who's consistently played down the severity of the virus — has made it compulsory to wear masks in public. you are watching bbc news.

restaurants, hairdressers and hotels are among some of the businesses allowed to reopen from tomorrow in england, as long as they follow safety guidelines. when the coronavirus lockdown was imposed in march business as usual stopped, and it's been a struggle for many, with little or no trade, in the last three months. our business correspodnent katy austin, reports now, from folkestone. after a desolate few months, the chance to reopen this hotel in folkestone is approaching. staff who had been furloughed are back, making it covid secure. we will actually have a protective screen here. we are implementing a contactless and paperless check in. we have to make sure all of our staff are properly trained to use ppe. there aren't many bookings yet, but rooms will be ready in time for saturday, with some items removed. one of the most noticeable differences will be the breakfast experience. at this hotel guests will have to wait to be seated, there will be no hot or cold buffet

and when guests reach their allocated table they will order both food and drink from a laminated menu which will be cleaned down between customers. about 300 hotels operate under the best western brand in britain, not all survived the shutdown and the boss fears more could close. coastal hotels will be able to break even at least over the summer period. beyond that i think it's going to be difficult. there is a lot of thought at the moment around how the city hotels are going to survive because as it is there's just not enough demand. i think a second wave would push a lot of people over the edge, including best western. as well as tourists, businesses here need the locals back. this small pub will open on saturday with a new, socially—distanced layout. hello, welcome to the lifeboat. we've taken some tables away and spaced the seating over here. we've got hand sanitising stations. with reduced capacity inside, the beer garden will be vital but the landlady is nervous. i'm anxious.

some people are saying we are going to be packed and they're worried they can't get in and other people are saying they're not going to be coming out to pubs or restaurants for a long time yet. so, yeah, it's completely unknown. it will be table service only here. some other venues will use apps to take orders and pubs and restaurants will take customers' contact details. also getting ready are hairdressers. this one is booked up now for weeks. staff are trialling expensive protective equipment and there is no waiting area. opening hours are being extended in an attempt to break even. less clients in the day, but it's going to take more time because of all the cleaning in between as well. we can't not open, butjust hope that we've done everything and, you know, we remain safe. not all businesses who can feel ready to open just yet, but for many getting paying customers back in is crucial. with the furlough scheme winding down soon, thousands ofjobs will depend on the success

of the coming months. katie austin, bbc news, in folkestone. let's get more from our political correspondent leila nathoo. hello. correspondent leila nathoo. good to see you. in ti beginning, hello. good to see you. in the beginning, the messaging about lockdown was quite simple. stay safe and stay at home. it is getting a bit more complicated now. what is the latest message from the prime minister? this is as he said the biggest moment in the loosening of restrictions in england so far. this isa restrictions in england so far. this is a moment of maximum danger really, the biggest reopening of all those figures that have been closed so those figures that have been closed so far. and the message now and blu ntly so far. and the message now and bluntly from the prime and is enjoy the summer safely sell the idea is that we can get back to doing some of the things we have not been able to do so far, but with restrictions and precautions in place. it will not quite be business as usual but the message is clearly that we have to abide by all the source of measures that are still in place and

will be in place for some time to come in order that we can to go on and enjoy those things that have been reopening and give those businesses as we have been hearing whipping close so for some time a chance to get back on their feet and that was the message we are today earlierfrom that was the message we are today earlier from boris that was the message we are today earlierfrom borisjohnson, that was the message we are today earlier from boris johnson, that that was the message we are today earlierfrom borisjohnson, that we owe it to those businesses to not act recklessly at this time in order to avoid a possible second spike of the disease and then rest going into another national lockdown. that is not something that boris johnson said he wanted to do. that is the last resort but the message was there will be no hesitation and putting on the brakes should this reopening result in a spike of infections across the country. i think there is honestly some optimism in the message from the scientist was that yes this was a time to understand and manage these risks and a time to reasonably expect the virus could be brought to

control while reopening the sectors that have been shut, but i think definitely the message was one of caution both from the scientists and the prime minister earlier today. caution both from the scientists and the prime minister earlier todaym some people will be looking to enjoy their summer safely abroad. tell us a bit about the messaging around travel and quarantine roles and what is the response been said that? there have been the blanket quarantine roles that have been put in place as the beginning ofjune. basically at anybody arriving into the uk to quarantines himself and self—isolate for 1h days or risk the penalty of a fine. now this was a blanket rule come it apply to all countries irrespective of the infection level. and it was brought in after the relaxation of other pages. what is happened today is that quarantine restrictions have been to relax for certain countries. soa been to relax for certain countries. so a full list of countries that have been published where people arriving in to england only from

those countries will not have to self—isolate and alongside that the foreign office has changed its advice for a number of countries to say that essential travel is not allowed to a whole host of countries where the infection level of coronavirus is low. now that means that people can come into the country freely from certain parts of the world but it does not necessarily mean there are not restrictions the other way so there are applications for people's holiday plans and the messages to check according to the individual country that you are intending to travel to but there has been quite a lot of political pressure on the government to do this and relax this quarantine roles both from within their own party but i think we also started to seek disputes come to the floor between the devolved administrations because the quarantine relaxation measures only apply to england and a scottish administration in the west government have not come forward with the same thing and there has been a strong criticism of the way

the west was the government has handle that. —— wass government. both describing it as shambolic and good are starting to see gaps open up good are starting to see gaps open up and policy answer had been throughout really on other aspects but i think it is only probably a matter of time before we see the same relaxations come into force in scotla nd same relaxations come into force in scotland and wales but for now, england only. thank you. staff and residents in care homes in england, will receive regular coronavirus tests from next week. it comes as official figures show that more than 19 thousand deaths of care home residents in england and wales, were linked to covid—19, from march to mid june. 0verrall there were 137 deaths of people diagnosed with the coronavirus, reported in the last 2a hour period. that takes the total number in the uk, to 44,131. our health editor hugh pym, has more details...

under current rules, this is the closestjudy can get to her mother mary, who is a resident at a care home in kent. she has organised a video call with a relative in the united states. this is perfect, but even so, i think with dementia you get worried because you know that they need to contact with their family, and want to keep doing things all the time. so far here, they have had no coronavirus cases but they are taking nothing for granted. the manager says new plans for regular testing of residents and staff will help. i think there is always going to be an element of worry, isn't there, and concern, but i am extremely hopeful now that
