this is bbc news. the headlines: travellers arriving in the uk from more than 70 countries and overseas territories are no longer required to quarantine for two weeks. we do not have to quarantine coming back m, not have to quarantine coming back in, it is a big help, knowing that we canjust in, it is a big help, knowing that we can just go out there, we can stay in a hotel, obviously taking all the precautions. changes to lockdown are announced to all come into force today across the four nations of the uk. we will bring you the very latest details. charities are calling for relatives of people living with dementia in care homes to be designated key workers so they can resume visits, as one charity says the current coronavirus restrictions have had damaging consequences. a record number of

adults contact the nspcc with concerns about a child during lockdown. they urge the government to have a plan for helping children dealing with trauma. clapping. hundreds of people turn out in sussex for the funeral of dame vera lynn. 0n the 80th anniversary of the start of the battle of britain, the story of the 13—year—old girl who helped design the spitfire, which was crucial to the raf‘s victory. travellers arriving in the uk from dozens of countries are no longer required to quarantine for two weeks. the rules are being relaxed for arrivals from more

than 60 countries, but scotland still requires anyone travelling from spain to quarantine, unlike england, wales and northern ireland. travel agents says the easing has led to an increase in demand forforeign holidays, though the foreign office is still advising against going on a cruise. john mcmanus has this report. spain's tourist industry is keen to say hola to british holiday—makers as soon as possible. one of them, paul, is heading there on saturday. now we don't have to quarantine coming back in, it's a big help, knowing we can just go out there, we can stay in the hotel, obviously taking all the precautions, social distancing and masks and everything, hand sanitiser and everything. the hotel seems to have it mostly under control. more britons are likely to venture abroad now that the uk's travel quarantine has been relaxed, but it's not straightforward. take europe. travellers arriving into the uk from most places now don't have

to self—isolate for two weeks. but some of these countries have restrictions when british people go there. those travelling from anywhere else, including controversially portugal, do still have to follow the quarantine rules. and people arriving into scotland from spain will, too. if you fly to portugal at the moment, you will invalidate any travel insurance that you have. so the fco warning still applies. portugal as we discussed earlier is not on that exclusion list. so if you do travel, and you do have travel insurance and you are relying on that, you will invalidate it. liz's package holiday to croatia tomorrow is still booked, but her flight‘s been cancelled. from what i understand, although some countries have opened up to tourists, a lot of flights are not currently running, so although the accommodation is available for tourists, there are no flights to get there.

and i think that is where the confusion is. airports will become a bit busier again in the coming weeks. they and the airlines which use them, are desperate to get paying passengers through their doors and into the air. but the return of international travel won't be plain sailing. the uk's foreign office is advising all britons not to travel on cruise ships at the moment. instructions which it says are based on advice from a government health body, public health england. john mcmanus, bbc news. let's talk to the chief executive of the business travel association. good afternoon. what a difference to today's easing mean for you and your members? clearly, the quarantine relaxations i can easily travel industry, although the number of destinations remain fairly limited for us, with a number of key ones in

europe that have not really opened up europe that have not really opened up at this stage. the industry has a long way to come back for us from business travel angle. is notjust about the countries, though, is it? how many firms are actually still wanting, permitting their staff to undertake business travel? you are right, it is limited at the moment. clearly from today, things are beginning to change. we have seen some enquiries around company is opening up, business travel, but it is going to be a long time to come back. we will not see too much trouble for the rest of this year. what we really need is consistency and standards that will give a confident setback to the corporate traveller to start rebooking and getting the uk economy going again. so yes, it is really critical that we start building their confidence now. if you're not inspecting a huge amount for the rest of the year, goodness, what does that mean for jobs? it is really tough and sadly,

today, one or two of the jobs within the industry i represent are at risk and that is not going to change by this quarantine exemptions and the easing of quarantine. what we really need is to get business back travelling again and some extended support for this business, which we appreciate volley has to come to an end in october, but there are other ways to stimulate business and this industry really needs help to get through to the end of the year. —— furlough has to come to an end. as zoom and things have become ubiquitous, that applies to companies as well. i wonder, hear dilemma, but i wonder how you stimulate demand for business travel? you have to remember, business travel is notjust about getting around four meetings. we have pent up demand for people travelling to do humanitarian aid, medical research, teachers and even sports stars, that is business

travel. it is a wide—ranging reason is that people travel for business and we note that video calling will a lwa ys and we note that video calling will always ta ke and we note that video calling will always take a part in that, but to get moving forward, face—to—face relationships are actually going and doing something physically in a country still requires business travel, which so we are confident it will come back and will be needed. we will speak again i'm sure, but thank you very much for now. chief executive of the business travel association. following months of coronavirus lockdown, restrictions across the uk are continuing to ease. in england, beauty salons and tattooists can reopen from monday, while gyms and indoor swimming pools can open on july 25th. in wales, pubs, cafes, restaurants and bars can reopen indoors from 3th august, providing coronavirus cases continue to fall. in northern ireland, gyms welcomed back customers this morning. we'll hear more from wales and northern ireland in a moment but first, lorna gordon reports from scotland, where it is now compulsory to wear a face covering in shops.

she is wearing one, they are wearing them too, and from today, most people, with the exception of young children and those with certain medical conditions, will have to wear a face covering while shopping in scotland or they'll be breaking the law. i think it's something that we'll just have to get used to for the foreseeable future. anything that's going to help stop the spread, i absolutely agree with. so wearing a mask into a shop or a confined space, i'm completely happy to do that. you've got a mask with you just now, so you'll be wearing it in the shop? yes, home—made mask, yes. as this new measure comes in, other restrictions are being eased. up to 15 people are now being allowed to meet outdoors as long as physical distancing remains. that will also apply to limited indoor gatherings which are now allowed and which can include overnight stays. and the two—metre rule is being eased on public transport and in retail, as long as a strict conditions are in place to lower risk. many shops have already put in mitigating measures to protect

their customers and staff. in this children's shoe shop, there are now protective screens in place. they are hopeful people will get on—board with these latest changes to the way they shop. 0bviously, for children under five, we wouldn't be asking them to wear a mask. for an adult, we would pretty much be insisting on wearing masks, and i do have a spare mask in the shop. and they are not in here for a long time, i think it's quite an airy environment, so i'm hoping that, yes, i'm hoping that they will adhere to the guidelines. scotland's first minister has warned that anyone not complying risks a £60 fine. wearing a face covering on a bus, train or in a shop, should for the foreseeable future become as automatic as putting on a seat belt in a car. it should not need to be enforced, but the police can issue fines for anyone not complying. as restrictions ease and normal life resumes, the risk of the virus spreading will increase. the scottish government believes face coverings are an important part of the measures to try and make sure that doesn't happen.

lorna gordon, bbc news, glasgow. lockdown has tested people's endurance in different ways. but now, warming up and working out is back. gyms in northern ireland are open again, ahead of the rest of the uk. oh, it's brilliant to be back. it really helps everyone's mental health when they're in the gym. i've really, really missed it. i never thought that i'd say that i'd missed being at the gym, but i really miss notjust the exercise but also the community spirit. i was a bit nervous last night about coming back, but so glad to be back now. treadmills are being pounded, routines are being resumed, and weights are being lifted again after more than 100 days. everyone's taking great care to stay within the new rules. every other machine is switched off, to help people keep two metres apart. and users are wiping down equipment after they've finished. gym owners say gym goers are adapting. we have cleaning stations, at every corner at every opportunity of the gym.

a lot of staff walking about, making sure everyone is social distancing. we're just here to support the people and make sure the experience is a good one. the fitness industry i think is going to have a big comeback from this. the mental— health side of it is going to be a big, big reality for people and i think the fitness industry is going to do very, very, very well from this, as you can see. fitness programmes are being picked up where they were left off. but the last few months have been tough going for personal trainers, who have had to draw on their inner strength. it was hard to see light at the end of the tunnel, if i'm honest, as a personal trainer. if you had have told me we would be in lockdown for four months and without a job, i would not have said i would have come out the other end if i'm honest. we are all glad to be back now but it was a strange time, a strange four months for everyone. the times are becoming a little less strange today. some more restrictions are being eased, cinemas are reopening, as are playgrounds and amusement arcades. life is becoming more active here as the transmission rate of the virus remains low.

chris page, bbc news, belfast. the fun of has set out dates for a large number of businesses to come out of lockdown over the past few weeks. —— at the first minister of wales. from tomorrow, hotels and self—contained accommodation will begin reopening in wales. but the major announcement today from the press c0 nfe re nce major announcement today from the press conference on the first minister is setting a date for indoor restaurants, pubs and cafe is to reopen. he said they can reopen from the third, as long as the rates continue to decline. 0utdoor spaces in the hospitality industry can restart from a monday, but many of the businesses that we have been speaking to the past few weeks so that realistically, they may not have an outdoor space, it might be very limited, so they have been waiting for the state and is now something has been given, so that will no doubt be a relief for many

businesses across wales. —— waiting for this date. mark drakeford's announcement had a list of businesses that can open, on monday there can also be groups of up to 30 people outdoor in say a fitness class outside, so long as someone is taking that group of people. the following week, playgrounds will be able to reopen. 0n the 25th, campsites can be open and on the 27th, museums and cinemas will also be able to reopen. the other thing that mark drakeford has also said is that mark drakeford has also said is that the two meet at social distancing rule will remain in place in wales, but of course, as nail salons and beauty spots continue to reopen on the 27th, there may be occasions where that might not be feasible, so as long as those businesses can maintain a high level of hygiene standards, they can of course reopen. but to be menus, as i say, is that for wales, the last nation of the uk, it has finally set a date on the indoor hospitality

sector to reopen and that will be from the 3rd of august. the uk government has announced the latest easing of lockdown restrictions in england, with some leisure facilities and beauty services allowed to reopen. from tomorrow, outdoor swimming pool can open again and performances can take place in outdoor theatres and some sports, like cricket, will also be able to return. from monday, customers can return. from monday, customers can return to beauticians, tattooists, bars and salons, but having said that there are quite a few restrictions within that category. 0n the 25th ofjuly, indoor pools, gyms and other sports facilities will reopen. let's take a few minutes to discuss whether it is indeed safe to hit the gym again after a ll indeed safe to hit the gym again after all these weeks of lockdown. let's talk to christina, who is the director of the clinical operational research unit at ucl. good afternoon. would you go into a gym

at the moment? no, i would really like to, but ijust... we arejust not there yet. we have onlyjust reopened loads of other indoor spaces, bars, restaurants, last weekend and we know that has introduced quite a lot of risk and i think wejust have introduced quite a lot of risk and i think we just have to wait, four weeks may be to see what impact that has on infections. it seems to be taking about that length of time before you can see if there has been an impact on new cases, judging from south africa, the us, and opening before then, i just think south africa, the us, and opening before then, ijust think it is too risky. when you say we are just not there yet, whatever safety measures, gyms are put into place, and we have talked a lot about them and far fewer people being allowed in at one time, are you saying it is literally a question of waiting a few more weeks yobs perspective as a

researcher? yes, i am not saying wait forever but i think we have to assess the impact of what we have just done which is open a huge amount of stuff and we note gyms are quite risky, their indoor environments which are way riskier and heavy breathing is quite risky and heavy breathing is quite risky and that is what you do in the gym, you are exercising. we know that duration is important and you are in gyms for an hour or more and then the who this week's said that airborne transmission could be much more impactful and so indoor spaces arejust much more dangerous. more impactful and so indoor spaces are just much more dangerous. to your mind, is that... because you touched on heavy breathing, if you are exercising or doing a really ha rd are exercising or doing a really hard work—out, so is your point that there is something quite specific about a gym or a fitness centre or something like that that is inherently more risky than itjust sitting in a restaurant even, which we of course through the chancellor are being encouraged to do? yes, i

think it is more risky. we know, it is that forced a circulation of air that can generate every cell —sized particles of the virus which can travel and linger in the air much longer than droplets. travel and linger in the air much longer than dropletslj travel and linger in the air much longer than droplets. i suppose, in an ideal world, perhaps is that where much more availability of testing with cumin, because if you could prove that you are free of the virus, then i guess you could and should go back to a gym? —— testing would come in. the problem with doing that kind of mass testing is that firstly you have quite a lot of false negatives with the test that they have and then it can take a few days for you after you have been infected to actually show enough virus to have a positive test, so you cannot be sure thatjust because you cannot be sure thatjust because you have tested negative that you will still be negative one or two weeks later. i think what we need to do isjust keep

weeks later. i think what we need to do is just keep driving weeks later. i think what we need to do isjust keep driving down infection rates, lower and lower and approach the strategy a bit like new zealand where you can get to effectively zero or close to zero cases and then you can open up pretty much everything pretty safely. that is really interesting. if you look at what the relevant government department is saying, it makes the point that everything we are doing, all this opening up, is reversible, we will reverse this, we will change the rules again if we see a flare—up. is that enough for you, or is that a bit shutting the sta ble you, or is that a bit shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted? i think to have that kind of approach where you just deal with flare—ups as and when they happen, firstly you need a strong test to trace and isolate system in place and we do not have it. i looked at the figures yesterday that the government put out in its weekly report and after five weeks, the performance metrics are exactly the same that they were the first week, it is not getting better. i think

thatis it is not getting better. i think that is one concern. secondly, it is much better to try and prevent flare—ups in the first place. if you keep driving things lower, we are still quite high, we are way lower than we were and that really good, but we are still a little bit higher than other european countries and we have just opened up a whole new bunch of stuff so let's see what happens with first. really interesting to hear your perspective. thank you for your time. that is christine out from ucl, the university college london, talking about the various elements, parts of the country and various facilities that are now re—for stop just to tell you in fact that the department for culture, media and sport issued a statement about all of this saying is always, the public will need to do their bit and follow the guidance sensibly and safely. in fa ct, the guidance sensibly and safely. in fact, as i mentioned there, it says all the measures we are taking are conditional and reversible and we will not hesitate to impose lockdown that where there are local spikes, as we saw in leicester for example,

where things remain closed and of course, in any other area where thatis that is necessary. leading charities are warning that people living in care homes with dementia and deteriorating physically and mentally, partly because family members have been unable to visit during lockdown for top in an open letter to the health secretary, there is for relatives to be designated key workers, to enable them to be regularly tested for coronavirus which would allow them to visit their relatives. safety first is the understandable policy for care homes now. socially distanced visits are welcome, but no substitute for the close and often daily contacts some dementia patients used to have. now charities say family carers should be designated key workers, so they can come back. we are asking for them to have regular testing, to have the ppe and be able to come in, visit, support and care for loved ones alongside the care home staff. family carers are there not only

to give that hugs and support and love but also to provide and help with feeding and encourage them to take their medication. so all of this lack of contact with family carers has led to deterioration in symptoms with this group. we'll wait for ruth's phone to ring... this was the closestjudy gladman could get to her mother when she recently visited her care home in kent. judy says if she could give her mother that extra level of support and contact, it would make a big difference to both of them. we can talk through the bars and perhaps do some knitting, but she is not being mentally stimulated. we can't interact enough because of the physical distancing, really. it would make a huge difference to her, basically, because she would be seeing me

and my husband and perhaps my cousin regularly. she would be much more mentally stimulated. it would probably help the care home as well. care homes say caution is essential and some homes simply could not accommodate family key workers. how is that testing going to occur before they arrive into the services? what happens if you have got a 50 bedded and you have 50 people wanting to come in? the government has promised detailed guidance shortly on care home visits in england. long overdue say families, charities and care homes. the other uk nations have already published it. a bbc investigation has found that that has been more than 160 cases of sports coaches engaging in sexual activity with a 16 or 17—year—old in their care over the last four years.

it has prompted campaigners to say the law must now be changed. the charity the nspcc has renewed calls for a legal loophole to be closed to ban anyone who has a position of power as a child from having a sectional relationship with them. —— sexual relationship. it's an area of law that's been a subject to scrutiny. this nspcc campaign is calling for any adult in a position of power over a 16 or 17—year—old to be banned from having a sexual relationship with them. i spoke to a young swimmer, whose instructor was close to her parents' age. i metjeff, who was my swimming coach, through our local swimming coach when i was at primary school age. things changed quite dramatically now, looking back, i would say, when i turned 16. one day, he gave me a hug. it got more physical. he would ask me not to tell anyone because people would judge us. i trusted his judgment and take

on things, and that he was an adult i'd known for a long time, and almost talked myself out of the fact i felt uncomfortable with it. the sexual 0ffences act prohibits certain professions, such as teachers and social workers, from engaging in sexual activity with a child in their care, even if they are over the age of consent. it doesn't apply to sports coaches outside of school settings, driving instructors or faith leaders. across the 131 councils in england and wales that responded to our freedom of information request, there were 1,481 cases since 2016 involving sexual activity with a 16 or 17—year—old, by a person potentially in a position of trust that would not fall under the sexual 0ffences act. 164 cases related to sports coaches, or adults who worked in sport. as far back as 2017, the department for digital, culture, media and sport announced there would be a change to the law, but this hasn't happened and it's been kept under review ever since. now mps have renewed calls for there to be action.

there is a gaping legal loophole that perpetrators of child abuse are walking straight into. i've been raising this with government for six years now, and my frustration is that we keep on having reviews, and in those intervening years, while the government hasn't acted and hasjust had consultation after consultation, more children have had their lives wrecked by sports coaches. the ministry ofjustice says it will set out its plans for the legislation in due course. sports coaches and teachers shape childrens' careers and often spend solitary and intense time with them. the law treats them differently. laura scott, bbc news. dame vera lynn, who died last month at the age of 103, has been honoured with a flypast over her home village in sussex. hundreds of people gathered in ditchling to pay their respects before her funeral. duncan kennedy is in ditchling.

the final journey for dame vera lynn. it was a village that came out, but it was a nation saying farewell. dame vera's daughter, virginia, walked with the cortege, past friends and neighbours. traffic stopped, memories were plentiful. it's a very special day. dame vera lynn living in the village, all the locals knew her and it is just going to be a very sad day, but obviously very iconic who she is. she was a heroine, absolute heroine, yeah, yeah. at noon, a battle of britain memorial flight soared over the village. three passes on behalf of the air force, army and navy, dame vera's life forever intertwined with the armed forces. # when the lights go....# it was the aching cadence

of her sonorous voice that helped vera lynn comfort millions during a moment of supreme national peril. from radio audiences at home... ..to concert performances before and after the war, her allure was an innocent charm, mixed with songs for the age. it is a day of sadness, because we have lost dame vera, her death will leave a great gap in our community. of course, in the whole nation, she was loved and cherished by so many people. the cortege then moved onto the private funeral service at a crematorium near brighton. there, the tri—service solemnity became part of the day. in dover, the famous white cliffs have been turned into a canvas of gratitude. a projection of recollections.

dame vera lynn, a symbol of resilience, a voice of hope and an inspiration for a nation that today said goodbye. duncan kennedy reporting there. now let's catch up with the weather prospects. we are ending the week on a much brighter note right across the board. at has been a very gloomy last few days across england and wales. lots of sunny spell throughout the day. there will be some heavy showers affecting mainly northern and eastern parts of the country, close that low pressure thatis country, close that low pressure that is carrying away. high pressure now taking over and it will tend to kill off at the showers as we move through the evening and overnight for apart from a few showers into north and western scotland, most of the country will be dry with lighter winds, clear skies and quite a chilly night come at the time of

yea rs, chilly night come at the time of years, temperatures falling to single figures pretty much across the board. into the weekend, with high—pressure dominating, is going to be mainly dry and lots of sunshine so it will feel a little bit warmer, too, particularly in the south. high—pressure moving on from the south—west through saturday and sunday, but on sunday, later on we will start to see these weather fronts pushing into the north and the rest of the uk to bring some thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain. you can see a lot of places are staying dry, particularly for the south where temperatures will reach close to windy celsius on sunday.

liverpool captain jordan henderson will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury. the midfielder scored in the 3—1win against brighton on wednesday before limping off late on in the match. he won't need surgery and should be fit in time for the start of next season. everybody is, absolutely, he deserves to lift the trophy and he will lift the trophy. as i said, no surgery, no surgery needed. that's the good news. all the rest, we can make our own decisions, a few decisions, how it will be around the trophy left and he will lift the trophy. two more races have been added to the formula one calendar, taking the total to ten. the ferrari owned mugello circuit in italy will host a grand prix for the first time on 13th september, with the russian grand prix in sochi confirmed for a fortnight later.

in the meantime, the second race weekend of the season has got underway in austria. this time the race will be called the styrian grand prix, in honour of the local area. racing point's sergio perez topped the time sheets in this morning's first practice. the second session is currently under way. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. more than 22,000 adults have contacted the charity since april, an increase of about one third on the months prior to lockdown. pa rental the months prior to lockdown. parental behaviour, neglect and physical and emotional abuse were

the biggest worries being reported by people who got in touch. let's discuss those findings with the founder of childline who joins me from the new forest. good afternoon. your thoughts about those numbers. more than 20,000 in a few months. yes, it is a heck of a lot of very concerned adults who are getting in touch with the nspcc because they fearfor touch with the nspcc because they fear for the safety of the children and young people known to them either as neighbours or members of the family. and we're finding exactly the same childline that there is a great surge in the number of calls from children and young people who, during lockdown, found themselves imprisoned in families where frankly they were either very unhappy or even unsafe because there was violence, addiction, some kind

of situation at home and school had a lwa ys of situation at home and school had always been a refuge for them. they tell us. 0r always been a refuge for them. they tell us. or maybe the extended family, grandparents, had been where they felt safe and during lockdown they felt safe and during lockdown the could not escape. so a number of them are saying to childline they felt so desperate theyjust them are saying to childline they felt so desperate they just wanted to run away. how on earth does the person taking that coal deal with that? because at the absolute height of lockdown, what options were there for anyone? what on earth can you say to a child in that scenario? the first thing you do is listen very carefully a nd first thing you do is listen very carefully and you reassure the child or young person that we know it ta kes or young person that we know it takes great courage for them to contact childline at all and that we are going to explore the situation with them to say yes there is a way we can improve it for them. —— to see if. we have on the website a

lovely area we call the calm zone which offers young people away of the escalating the feelings of panic or anxiety, or depression. and then we try and explore with the young person whether they are in real immediate danger, because if they are and if a child's life is at sta ke, are and if a child's life is at stake, then we will find that child and bring them to safety. 0therwise we well offer the child the idea that perhaps we can refer them to another helping agency like social services if they really feel they need to get away. principally, what we do is empower the child to talk to us, to talk through the feelings because quite often being listened to is what they really need. that is what a grandparent would need,, maybe a school friend would do that and that is what they are being denied in lockdown. and that goes to

the heart of the key issues with schools being shut because a lot of these children, some of them might have been on the radar of people, might have been people who were looking out for them every day, a teacher or someone else and if they are not at school for reasons we all know about, that in itself is a problem, isn't it? yes, it certainly is and just as when there is domestic abuse between adults, which is intensified by lockdown, and that clearly has been recognised by government, so domestic violence can impinge upon children and very often they are the forgotten victims. and school has been there one escape to a refuge where they felt safe and they could get away from the violence and the anger, sometimes the better hatred that surrounds them at home. and so what can all of us them at home. and so what can all of us do to try to help? there are clearly people out there with what is, that is why the nspcc is telling us is, that is why the nspcc is telling us it is had so many calls. what can people in day—to—day life to? people

who may come across these children in shops, now things are easing, those sort of people? the casual stranger is very unlikely to pick up the profound thoughts of these young people and children who are suffering from depression, anxiety or other fears. but there suffering from depression, anxiety or otherfears. but there may suffering from depression, anxiety or other fears. but there may be neighbours or family on the same wavelength as a child and want to help. the nspcc helpline is there to help, but there is also the common or garden mobile phone or phone line and you have to in that case all you have to do is talk to the child or text a child or speak to the child via the internet because childline is there and can supply that back—up, but so are the people who love that child as well. thanks very much for your time this afternoon.

travellers are being asked to check—in online whenever possible and wearing a face covering as now compulsory. our business correspondent, katy austin, has spent the morning at gatwick airport to see the new measures in place, and find out what the airport atmosphere is like as more and more flights resume. summer holidays might be on again, but the travel experience will feel very different. so, the tui desks are very quiet because actually tui have not started their flights, that's not till tomorrow. downstairs, easyjet are already flying. when you get here, you will see lots of signs reminding you to keep socially distanced from others, as you can see here, keep your mask on and when staff are involved in checking the bag drop, they are behind plastic screens. so a few changes you will really notice.

in terms of the airport being quiet, well, yes, it has been really quiet. normally injune you get 2.2 million passengers departing from gatwick, this year in june it was only 17,000. so actually it's really important for the aviation and tourism industry that travel starts again. now i am joined by stewart wingate, the chief executive of gatwick airport. thank you forjoining us, stewart. morning. a really important day for you, holidays can get going again. it is really important day for the airport and airlines such as tui who will be starting operations again tomorrow. we are delighted about that. also for passengers, being able to come back and from many locations have confidence they can come back and not quarantine when they arrive back in the uk. you have had to do a lot of preparations, you haven't actually closed the airport, have you, but you've had to prepare it for the return of passengers. talk us through some of the big changes. the teams who work at gatwick have been open throughout the period. so we have never closed down.

but at the airport we have spent a lot of time preparing for the reopening of the flights across to the holiday destinations. lots of emphasis on hygiene, so hand sanitisation. obviously the wearing of face masks, also the installation of perspex screens, to protect passengers and staff. lots of emphasis really on having the hygiene levels as high as they can be so passengers and staff are safe. in mexico the coronavirus pandemic has left many people unable to support themselves so drug gangs have stepped in, setting up their own social welfare scheme, proving highly popular but the threat of violence or crime is neverfar away. we secured access to one cartel and sent this exclusive report.

from dusk to dawn, the sinaloa's cartel operations never stop, even in times of coronavirus. the pandemic hasn't stopped them making money from misery. from trafficking heroin to smuggling firearms. thousands of lives destroyed. but in this safe house, usually used for drugs and weapons, cartel members now pack tuna, rice and toilet roll, ready for distribution to the poor. each bag bears the name of sinaloa's infamous drug lord joaquin "el chapo" guzman, now jailed for life in the us. mexican cartels have long used aid

and welfare as a way to grow their support. but the lockdown has left many more people out of work, giving the cartels a new opportunity. dozens of drug cartels in mexico have made similar gestures. many are sharing videos of what is being called "narco philanthropy". but the distributions have angered the mexican president. violence driven by drug cartels has led to record murder rates in mexico. since lockdown started, murders have soared to almost

3,000 a month, many of them innocent bystanders. security experts say that the aid packages are not selfless acts, but calculating business moves. the sinaloa cartel itself admits that loyalty is the key to their success. despite their firepower, it's the support of local people that could be the cartel‘s greatest weapon. anne laurent, bbc news, mexico. travellers arriving in the uk

for more than 70 countries and overseas territories are no longer required to quarantine for two weeks. changes to lockdown are announced or are coming into force this week across the four nations of the uk. northern nations of the uk. ireland opened gems today. charities call for relatives of people living with dementia and care homes to be designated key workers so that they can have coronavirus tests and resume visits. 0ne charity says the coronavirus restrictions have had damaging consequences. it was a victory that became one of the defining moments of the second world war, and the nazis' first defeat. today marks 80 years since the start of the battle of britain. the spitfire was one of the iconic aircraft that took part, and now the raf has recognised for the first time that a 13—year—old girl played a vital role in the plane's design. sophie raworth reports.

newsreel: way up in the sky, there are messerschmitts, junkers, heinkels or dorniers that are going to get the thrashing of their lives. july 1940 and nazi germany is beginning the first of many bombing raids, in what became known as the battle of britain. but the raf‘s pilots managed to fight off the luftwaffe and defend these shores in their spitfires and hurricanes. it is the most famous plane from world war ii. it played a crucial role in the battle of britain. but what we didn't know until now was the role that a 13—year—old girl played in its design. this new generation of fighter plane had originally been designed with just four machine guns. but this man, captain fred hill, a scientific officer in the air ministry, became convinced that four guns

would not be enough. each plane needed eight. he faced stiff opposition. most thought eight guns would be too many, impossible to fit on the planes. but captain hill was convinced he was right, so he turned to an unlikely person for help. his 13—year—old daughter, hazel, a talented mathematician. together, around their kitchen table, they worked through the night on complex calculations to prove that eight guns, firing at least 1,000 rounds a minute, was essential for success. they talk about burning the midnight oil and coming into the office late, after everybody‘s gone to carry out further calculations and borrow some bits of equipment to carry out experiments, more or less off their own bat, working very long hours, because they were really dedicated to these things. and, of course, people taking their work home. hazel told her sons about her role when they were growing up.

it's amazing history hangs on so fine a thread, isn't it? you know, if she'd got the calculations wrong or she hadn't been asked to help and the decision had not been made to go with eight guns, who knows what would have happened? this graph, presented to the air ministry in 1934, was the result of hazel‘s calculations. with eight guns firing, the fighters typically had just two seconds to hit their target before pulling away. they had to get incredibly close to the enemy planes, just 250 yards away, to stand a chance of shooting them down. hazel‘s calculations meant the government changed its mind. the battle of britain proved to be a turning point in the war. it was the bravery and success of the pilots which made victory possible, but, without the support of many others, the battle may not have been won. what a great inspiration for young people today, young girls in particular, that can look upon someone like hazel in the early 19305,

making such an important contribution. 80 years after the battle of britain, hazel hill is finally getting the public recognition she deserved. as promised here is hazel‘s granddaughter, a bbc friend and colleague i have known for some yea rs, colleague i have known for some years, too, i am trying not to take it personal that you have never told us about this before. warm welcome to both of you. felicity, this is the story of the day. did you always know about this? is this something you have always talked about in your family? it is and i spent a lot of time with my grandparents and i remember her talking about it. you know when you interview your grandparents for school projects i

knew she did the guns on the spitfires but i didn't understand it. it's only in recent years when i came to work here i thought maybe there might be a story that i should have a bit of a look at and we did the research, my family started and that, it's only then i started realising how important contribution was. even the way you put it there, she did the guns on the spitfire, did she talk about it a lot? did you drag the information out of her? what was her approach? she was very modest as a lot of that generation was. she had a great relationship with her father and so was. she had a great relationship with herfather and so it was. she had a great relationship with her father and so it was natural to her when he came home and asked her to help in her eyes it was her helping out her dad, no more than that. it is remarkable. doctor, your thoughts on this really remarkable story. it is a great story and frederick hill's work on the calculations on the effectiveness of eight guns was an

important move in the armament of spitfires and hurricanes, it great to see more attention drawn to that story. as i understand it, the notion of having eight guns was, was it considered impossible, undoable? it was a pretty radical idea, wasn't it? it is interesting, from the mid 19205 there has been a realisation that increased armament would be nece55a ry, that increased armament would be nece55ary, di5cu55ion5 that increased armament would be nece55ary, discussions about calibre5 came into bigger, gun5, more guns, that was a conversation which proceeded for the next ten year5. which proceeded for the next ten years. the shift is when captain fred hill modifies the statistics and trials which are carried out in 1933, there had been earlier trial5, the argument advances gradually but thi5 the argument advances gradually but this is when it really gather5 the argument advances gradually but this is when it really gathers pace and moves forward. he would have had to go into that meeting and make the

case, say here is my mathematical calculations, this is why we feel this is going to be so significant, this is going to be so significant, this is going to be so significant, this is why you should have, go from four to eight guns and i can only assume that if you had gone in and said to that meeting i guess he had to pass it off as his calculations? he could not possibly say it is my child and my daughter who has come up child and my daughter who has come up with some of this? what would have been the reaction? it's quite an interesting story about how this co nfe re nce an interesting story about how this conference comes about, quite informal, hosted by at the time the head of personnel in the raf. he chair5 head of personnel in the raf. he chairs that but they come to a conclusion that the conclusions they have drawn from the statistics are right, largely the graphs 5how have drawn from the statistics are right, largely the graphs show the 5tati5tic5 right, largely the graphs show the statistics and the two second interception per will mean you have to have eight guns to have a realistic chance of bringing the aircraft down. that goes forward to

more senior officers who gradually are convinced partly because there are convinced partly because there are better guns being introduced, lighter and more reliable, and when that conclusion is finally drawn it is again, one's graphs which go to the chief of the air staff to have that decision finalise. captain fred hill. you must be so proud? we are, i have always been proud but even more so now to hear other people, particularly at the raf is a very surreal but amazing moment for me. taking it all in. she went on to live to a wonderful old age which is terrific but have a career in other areas? she had a great medical career, during the war she joined the royal army medical corps and looked after injured soldiers, ended up looked after injured soldiers, ended up marrying one of the soldiers and went on to work for the nhs for many, went on to work for the nhs for any went on to work for the nhs for many, many years. she had a great

career. so modest too. which isjust lovely. doctor, a final thought from you on, can this be acknowledged? can her contribution be formally acknowledged? i can her contribution be formally acknowledged ? i know can her contribution be formally acknowledged? i know that is part of all of this today. i think it has been one of the footnote in history until now. captain fred hill's boss at the time mentioned in his history at the time mentioned in his history at the time mentioned in his history at the period, it is great to see more evidence come forward, really delighted to be talking about it today, to see how it enters history. absolutely. felicity, no pressure. absolutely. felicity, no pressure. absolutely not. how's your maths? i was going to say i did not get her brain for maths, i was moved down a set at school. thank you very much to both of you. lovely to have a positive story to smile about.

there's a full documentary about this, it is called... that is airing quite a few times this weekend, here on the bbc news channel. that takes us into a look at the weather prospects. we end on a sunny note as high—pressure builds on, it has been gloomy and great across parts of england and wales over the last few days. quite a lot of rain too. more sunshine around, bara days. quite a lot of rain too. more sunshine around, bar a few heavy showers across north and east areas, are skies over bromley, pretty typical in fact of a lot of skies across england and wales on the whole. high—pressure starting to build in from the west, continues to cool off the shower is not low— pressure cool off the shower is not low—pressure to the east, still generating further showers and downpours, heavy ones as we move

into the evening but eventually they will clear the way. most places turning overnight with lengthy clear skies, just a few showers pushing into the north—west of scotland. with those light winds, clear skies, quite a chilly night for the time of year, temperatures into single figures for most places. high pressures dominating the weekend, a dry one for most and we should see plenty of sunshine. a bit warmer too. high pressure building in from the south—west, you can see much of the south—west, you can see much of the isobars so the wind will be lighter. cool start to saturday, plenty of sunshine, fair weather cloud babbling here and there, just the chance of isolated showers, but most the chance of isolated showers, but m ost pla ces the chance of isolated showers, but most places dry. the greatest risk of showers and west of scotland, and a westerly breeze. mid teen celsius will creep up to the low 20s. high pressure into pa rt will creep up to the low 20s. high pressure into part two of the weekend but he noticed the weather fronts associated with low pressure

scraping in to the north—west of the uk as we move through the day. such dry and sunny for all areas, fairweather cloud developing then the breeze picks up, thickening cloud later in the day. for eastern scotland, england and wales should remain dry. dry too, temperatures closer to the mid 20s celsius in one two places. stays breezy and damp, further south and east it will be dry to take us on into monday. much of next week looks largely settled. high pressure will be one with us across southern areas,. highest of the temperatures are bit more cloud and rain further north and west.

this is bbc news, i'mjane hill. the headlines: travellers arriving in the uk from more than 70 countries and overseas territories are no longer required to quarantine to quarantine for two weeks, making it easier to go on holiday. now women do not have to quarantine coming back in, it is a big help knowing that we can go out there, stay in the hotel. of the sea will be precautions for stock —— knowing that we do not have to quarantine. changes to lockdown are announced or come in to force today across the four nations of the uk we'll bring you the latest updates. charities warn of a ‘hidden catastrophe' in care homes a record number of adults contact the nspcc with concerns

about a child during lockdown. they urge the government to have a plan to help children dealing with trauma. hundreds of people turn out in sussex for the funeral of the forces' sweetheart, dame vera lynn. and on the 80th anniversary of the start of the battle of britain, the story of the 13—year—old girl who helped design the spitfire which was crucial to the raf‘s victory. travellers arriving in the uk from dozens of countries are no longer required to quarantine for two weeks. the rules are being relaxed for arrivals from more than 60 countries, but scotland still requires anyone

travelling from spain to quarantine unlike england, wales and northern ireland. travel agents say the easing has led to an an increase in demand forforeign holidays, though the foreign office is still advising against going on a cruise. john mcmanus has this report. spain's tourist industry is keen to say hola to british holiday—makers as soon as possible. one of them, paul, is heading there on saturday. now we don't have to quarantine coming back in, it's a big help, knowing we can just go out there, we can stay in the hotel, obviously taking all the precautions, social distancing and masks and everything, hand sanitiser and everything. the hotel seems to have it mostly under control. more britons are likely to venture abroad now that the uk's travel quarantine has been relaxed, but it's not straightforward. take europe. travellers arriving into the uk from most places now don't have to self—isolate for two weeks. but some of these countries

have restrictions when british people go there. those travelling from anywhere else, including controversially portugal, do still have to follow the quarantine rules. and people arriving into scotland from spain will, too. if you fly to portugal at the moment, you will invalidate any travel insurance that you have. so the fco warning still applies. portugal as we discussed earlier is not on that exclusion list. so if you do travel, and you do have travel insurance and you are relying on that, you will invalidate it. liz's package holiday to croatia tomorrow is still booked, but her flight‘s been cancelled. from what i understand, although some countries have opened up to tourists, a lot of flights are not currently running, so although the accommodation is available for tourists, there are no flights to get there. and i think that is where the confusion is.

airports will become a bit busier again in the coming weeks. they and the airlines which use them, are desperate to get paying passengers through their doors and into the air. but the return of international travel won't be plain sailing. the uk's foreign office is advising all britons not to travel on cruise ships at the moment. instructions which it says are based on advice from a government health body, public health england. john mcmanus, bbc news. as we now can start to travel abroad more, what has happened to travel insurance? are we covered? we can get more from our personal finance reporter, kevin peachey. is finance reporter, kevin peachey. there any travel ii will is there any travel insurance that will cover you for covid—19? everyone who travels on an overseas break this summer is going to be carrying some of the financial risk. i think the good news, first of all,

is that the foreign office has said it is safe to travel to lots of places that now, to lots of countries, not on cruises, as we have just heard, and as a result of that, it means that travel insurance is valid again. i'm so things like lost luggage claims and so on, the usual kind of thing, they are going to be available again. if you have a travel insurance policy which you bought before march time, then the likelihood is that is going to cover you and probably cover you for coronavirus —related issues as well. the problems come from people who understandably booking now and then getting their travel insurance now as well, as you would normally expect. right, why do you stand then in that instance? —— where do you stand. the problem is, if you are getting a travel insurance policy and then, if you get the coronavirus

symptoms or you can track coronavirus while you are in the resort, then there will be some, but not all travel insurance policies that cover you for treatment or for repatriation if it comes to that. you have the e hick card as well which gives you, lots of european countries, protection, some state —based medical treatment. ehic card. if you get the symptoms at home and you contract convert at home, it is very unlikely that your travel insurance will cover you for cancelling that holiday. if you contract the virus, you're not going to travel and cancel your holiday, and they're to travel and cancel your holiday, and they‘ re only to travel and cancel your holiday, and they're only about five out of 160 providers, so a tiny number, he will say yes, we are going to refund that holiday that you have cancelled because you got coronavirus. yes, thatis because you got coronavirus. yes, that is a tiny number. what if you have to self—isolate as well? that

has no concept for whether you can go back to work, all those sorts of issues? that has knock—on effects will stop that is where it gets more into knots. if you have the self i was late, it might be because you have the symptoms or you might have had a call from one of the contact traces, you have stuff i set for 14 days, if in that situation you cannot go in your holiday, again this is a really bad situation financially if you want to go away, because it is very unlikely that you are going to be covered by your travel insurance cancellation and also, if you are on a package holiday, which normally gives you quite a lot of protection, it is unlikely you are going to be covered there as well. you're probably not get a refund for that package holiday. you might be able to rebook later on, so it is really going be a lot of risk financially for people if they have to self—isolate and have to cancel holidays. i think really, where the protection comes back as if for example, the foreign

0ffice advice changes and they say you cannot travel for certain countries or the advice in those countries or the advice in those countries is that uk travellers knots to come there. are right, thank you. following months of coronavirus lockdown, restrictions across the uk are continuing to ease. in england, beauty salons and tattooists can reopen from monday, while gyms and indoor swimming pools can open onjuly 25th. in wales, pubs, cafes, restau ra nts a nd bars can reopen indoors from the third of august, providing coronavirus cases continue to fall. and in northern ireland, gyms welcomed back customers this morning. we'll hear more from wales and northern ireland in a moment but first, lorna gordon reports from scotland, where it is now compulsory to wear a face covering in shops. she is wearing one, they are wearing them too, and from today, most people, with the exception of young children and those with certain medical conditions, will have to wear a face covering

while shopping in scotland or they'll be breaking the law. i think it's something that we'll just have to get used to for the foreseeable future. anything that's going to help stop the spread, i absolutely agree with. so wearing a mask into a shop or a confined space, i'm completely happy to do that. you've got a mask with you just now, so you'll be wearing it in the shop? yes, home—made mask, yes. as this new measure comes in, other restrictions are being eased. up to 15 people are now being allowed to meet outdoors as long as physical distancing remains. that will also apply to limited indoor gatherings which are now allowed and which can include overnight stays. and the two—metre rule is being eased on public transport and in retail, as long as a strict conditions are in place to lower risk. many shops have already put in mitigating measures to protect their customers and staff. in this children's shoe shop, there are now protective screens in place. they are hopeful people will get on—board with these latest changes to the way they shop.

0bviously, for children under five, we wouldn't be asking them to wear a mask. for an adult, we would pretty much be insisting on wearing masks, and i do have a spare mask in the shop. and they are not in here for a long time, i think it's quite an airy environment, so i'm hoping that, yes, i'm hoping that they will adhere to the guidelines. scotland's first minister has warned that anyone not complying risks a £60 fine. the law, coming into force today, it should not need to be enforced, but the police can issue fines if necessary. i'm asking everyone to stick to the law, not because of a fear of enforcement, but because it is the right thing to do. it keeps us and other people safe. as restrictions ease and normal life resumes, the risk of the virus spreading will increase. the scottish government believes face coverings are an important part of the measures to try and make sure that doesn't happen. lorna gordon, bbc news, glasgow. lockdown has tested people's

endurance in different ways. but now, warming up and working out is back. gyms in northern ireland are open again, ahead of the rest of the uk. oh, it's brilliant to be back. it really helps everyone's mental health when they're in the gym. i've really, really missed it. i never thought that i'd say that i'd missed being at the gym, but i really miss notjust the exercise but also the community spirit. i was a bit nervous last night about coming back, but so glad to be back now. treadmills are being pounded, routines are being resumed, and weights are being lifted again after more than 100 days. everyone's taking great care to stay within the new rules. every other machine is switched off, to help people keep two metres apart. and users are wiping down equipment after they've finished. gym owners say gym goers are adapting. we have cleaning stations, at every corner at every opportunity of the gym. a lot of staff walking about, making sure everyone is social distancing. we're just here to support the people and make sure the experience is a good one.

the fitness industry i think is going to have a big comeback from this. the mental— health side of it is going to be a big, big reality for people and i think the fitness industry is going to do very, very, very well from this, as you can see. fitness programmes are being picked up where they were left off. but the last few months have been tough going for personal trainers, who have had to draw on their inner strength. it was hard to see light at the end of the tunnel, if i'm honest, as a personal trainer. if you had have told me we would be in lockdown for four months and without a job, i would not have said i would have come out the other end if i'm honest. we are all glad to be back now but it was a strange time, a strange four months for everyone. the times are becoming a little less strange today. some more restrictions are being eased, cinemas are reopening, as are playgrounds and amusement arcades. life is becoming more active here as the transmission rate of the virus remains low. chris page, bbc news, belfast.

the first minister of wales, mark drakeford has set out dates for a large number of businesses to come out of lockdown over the next three weeks. 0ur wales correspondent tomos morgan explained what's next for businesses. from tomorrow, hotels and self—contained accommodation will begin reopening in wales. but the major announcement today from the press conference of the first minister is setting a date for indoor restaurants, pubs and cafes to reopen. he says that they can reopen from the third, so long as the rates continue to decline. 0utdoor spaces in the hospitality industry can restart from monday, but many of the businesses that we have been speaking to over the past few weeks say that realistically, they may not have an outdoor space, or it may be very limited, so they have been waiting for this day and now something has been given, so that will no doubt be a relief to many of those businesses across wales. there's been a huge list today in first minister, mark drakeford's announcement just half an hour ago, businesses that can reopen over the next couple weeks, i willjust run through a couple

of them for you now. on monday, there can also be groups of up to 30 people outdoors in say a fitness class outside, so long as someone is taking that group of people. the following week, playgrounds will be able to reopen. 0n the 25th, campsites can reopen and on the 27th, museums and cinemas will also be able to reopen. the other thing that mark drakeford has also said is that the two metre social distancing rule will remain in place in wales, but of course, as nail salons and beauty spots continue to reopen on the 27th, there may be occasions where that might not be feasible, so as long as those businesses can maintain a high level of hygiene standards, they can of course reopen. but the main news, as i say, is that wales, the last nation of the uk, has finally set a date on the indoor hospitality sector to reopen. that is from the 3rd of august.

the uk government has announced the latest easing of lockdown restrictions in england, with some leisure facilities and beauty services allowed to reopen. from tomorrow, outdoor swimming pools can reopen, and performances can take place outdoor theatres, while some sports, such as cricket, can also return. from monday, customers can return to beauticians, tattooists, spas and tanning salons but they will be subject to some restrictions. and on the 25th ofjuly, indoor pools, gyms and other sports facilities will reopen. so, just how safe is it to hit the gym after all these weeks of lockdown? i have beans peaking to christina, who is director of the clinical operation research at ucl. i asked her whether she would feel safe going back to the gym today. no, i would safe going back to the gym today. no, iwould really like safe going back to the gym today. no, i would really like to, safe going back to the gym today. no, iwould really like to, but safe going back to the gym today. no, i would really like to, but it is just not... we are not there yet. we have only just

is just not... we are not there yet. we have onlyjust reopened lots of other indoor spaces, last weekend, bars, restaurants, and we know that has introduced quite a lot of risk andi has introduced quite a lot of risk and i think wejust has introduced quite a lot of risk and i think we just have to wait, four weeks may be, to see what impact that has on infections. it seems to be taking about that length of time before you can see whether there has been an impact on new cases, judging from israel, south africa, the us, and opening before then ijust think it's too risky. africa, the us, and opening before then i just think it's too risky. so when you say we are just not there yet, whatever safety measures at gyms are putting into place, and we have talked a lot about them and there are far fewer people being allowed in at any one time, all those sorts of things, are you saying it is literallyjust a question of waiting a few more weeks, from your perspective as a researcher? yes. i'm not saying wait forever, but i think we just have to assess the impact of what we have just done, which is open up huge amounts of stuff and we note that gyms are quite risky. they are

indoor environments which are way riskier. we know that heavy breathing is quite risky and that is what you do when you go to the gym, you are exercising. we know that duration is important and you are in gyms for an hour or more and then the who just this week said that airborne transmission could be much more of a factor, so poorly ventilated indoor spaces i just more of a factor, so poorly ventilated indoor spaces ijust much more dangerous. and to your mind, is that, because you touched on heavy breathing, obviously if you're exercising, doing a really hard work—out, is your point that there is something quite specific about a gym or fitness centre or something like that that is inherently more risky than just sitting in a restau ra nt risky than just sitting in a restaurant even, which we are of course through the chancellor being encouraged to do? yes, i think it is more risky. we know that it is that kind of forced circulation of air that can actually generate aerosol size to particles of the virus and

they can travel in linger in the air much longer than droplets. an ideal world, if that is where much more availability of testing would come in? because if you could prove you are free of the virus, i guess you could and should go back to a gym, because my goodness, we all need to ta ke because my goodness, we all need to take more exercise after the last few months. i'm mean the problem with doing that kind of mass testing is that firstly, you have quite a lot of false negatives with the test that they have and then it can take a few days after you have been infected to actually show enough virus to have a positive test, you cannot be sure thatjust because you tested negative once that you will still be —1 or two weeks later. what we need to do is just keep driving down infection rates lower and lower and approached the strategy where you can get too close to zero cases, like new zealand, where you can open up like new zealand, where you can open up pretty much everything much more

safely. researcher from ucl they're talking about the reopening of gyms, which already happened today in northern ireland. leading charities are warning that people living in care homes who have dementia are deteriorating physically and mentally, partly because family members have been unable to visit during lockdown. in an open letter to the health secretary, they have called for relatives to be designated key workers to enable them to be regularly tested for coronavirus, which would allow them to visit their relatives. sanchia berg reports. safety first is the understandable policy for care homes now. socially distanced visits are welcome, but no substitute for the close and often daily contacts some dementia patients used to have. now charities say family carers should be designated key workers, so they can come back. we are asking for them to have regular testing, to have the ppe and be able to come

in, visit, support and care for loved ones alongside the care home staff. family carers are there not only to give that hugs and support and love but also to provide and help with feeding and encourage them to take their medication. so all of this lack of contact with family carers has led to deterioration in symptoms with this group. we'll wait for ruth's phone to ring... this was the closestjudi gladman could get to her mother when she recently visited her care home in kent. judi says if she could give her mother that extra level of support and contact, it would make a big difference to both of them. we can talk through the bars and perhaps do some knitting, but she is not being mentally stimulated. we can't interact enough because of the physical distancing, really. it would make a huge difference to her, basically,

because she would be seeing me and my husband and perhaps my cousin regularly. she would be much more mentally stimulated. it would probably help the care home as well. care homes say caution is essential and some homes simply could not accommodate family key workers. how is that testing going to occur before they arrive into the services? what happens if you have got a 50 bedded and you have 50 people wanting to come in? the government has promised detailed guidance shortly on care home visits in england. long overdue say families, charities and care homes. the other uk nations have already published it. we can talk now to claire castle and herfather, edward stevens.

claire's mother has dementia and has lived in a care home since october. have you been able to see your mum at all since lockdown? no, not at all. we have not seen her since the beginning of march. have you even been able to go to the window and have a wave, or does that not feel appropriate? she was upstairs in the ca re appropriate? she was upstairs in the care home, so it is not appropriate for her. at the moment, she is not able to stand for very long on her own, so that would not be... we could not do that with her. when you come out desperately difficult for you, when you hear this call today, this suggestion from charities that people in your position and your dad's position should be designated to key workers so that you could get a coronavirus test and be confident that you are free of the virus in the hope that that would then free

you up to visit, what do you say about that? i am interested about what you both feel about that suggestion? i think it is fantastic. not seeing your loved one for a numberof not seeing your loved one for a number of months now, it would be absolutely wonderful if we could go in andjust give absolutely wonderful if we could go in and just give her a hug. absolutely wonderful if we could go in andjust give her a hug. of course. claire, your thoughts about that? yes, the same. i think it would be wonderful to have that connection again, even to help out in the care home as well would be a really good option. but also, she had contacted the coronavirus when she was in and we cannot go and see herand give hersome she was in and we cannot go and see herand give her some big hug she was in and we cannot go and see her and give her some big hug to help her through it. —— contracted the coronavirus for stock it has

just been so very, very difficult. that is extraordinarily difficult. so you have been entirely reliant on the staff that look have to hurt to give you information and let you know what is happening. -- to look after her. yes, mum has a one to one who has been sending us videos. with her dementia, she doesn't really understand, picking up through skype and stuff, but she has been sending us videos of her and it has been fantastic for top and talking on the telephone, she understands your voice, but she doesn't know who is talking. this is the sad thing about it. not being able to see her, just talking to her on the telephone has been fantastic, but it is not the same as going in to see her. of course not. and we keep hearing that government guidance is due soon on

visits to care homes for people exactly in your position. my goodness, you must be desperate for some clarity and to know what to do? yes, we have been told we may be able to go at the end ofjuly, but that depends on what happens with the end of —— the lockdown restrictions. if it spikes again we are back to square one, but we're just praying and hoping it will be the end ofjuly. absolutely. how is your mum? you mentioned she had coronavirus, how is she recovering, at least from that? she is very weak at least from that? she is very weak at the moment, unfortunately. it has taken at the moment, unfortunately. it has ta ken its at the moment, unfortunately. it has taken its she is recovering, but very slowly. we hope and pray she really will pull right the way through. of course, we send you all

our very through. of course, we send you all our very best wishes to your whole family, given everything you have been through in the last few months. it is really generous of you to speak to us, so thank you very much and we wish you all the best and hope you are able to see her very soon. thank you very much indeed. dame vera lynn, who died last month at the age of 103, has been honoured with a fly—past. hundreds of people gathered to pay respects before her funeral. the final journey for dame vera lynn. it was a village that came out, but it was a nation saying farewell. dame vera's daughter, virginia, walked with the cortege, past friends and neighbours. traffic stopped, memories were plentiful. it's a very special day.

dame vera lynn living in the village, all the locals knew her and it is just going to be a very sad day, but obviously very iconic who she is. she was a heroine, absolute heroine, yeah, yeah. at noon, a battle of britain memorial flight soared over the village. three passes on behalf of the air force, army and navy, dame vera's life forever intertwined with the armed forces. # when the lights go....# it was the aching cadence of her sonorous voice that helped vera lynn comfort millions during a moment of supreme national peril. from radio audiences at home... ..to concert performances before and after the war, her allure was an innocent charm, mixed with songs for the age. it is a day of sadness,

because we have lost dame vera, her death will leave a great gap in our community. of course, in the whole nation, she was loved and cherished by so many people. the cortege then moved on to the private funeral service at a crematorium near brighton. there, the tri—service solemnity became part of the day. in dover, the famous white cliffs have been turned into a canvas of gratitude. a projection of recollections. dame vera lynn, a symbol of resilience, a voice of hope and an inspiration for a nation that today said goodbye.

time for a look at the weather. where ending the week on a brighter note. it has been a gloomy past few days of england and wales. lots of sunny spells throughout the day and some heavy showers affecting mainly northern and eastern parts of the country, close to that area of low pressure which is clearing away. high pressure now taking over and will tend to kill off the showers as it moves through the evening and overnight. apart from a few showers into northern and western scotland, most of the countries will be dry. recipe for quite a chilly night to come, temperatures in single figures pretty much across the board. with high pressure dominating the scene, it is going to be many dry at the weekend lots of sunshine around, so will feel a little bit warmer, too, particularly in the south. high pressure moving in from the south—west through saturday and sunday, but on sunday, later on perhaps, we start to see these weather fronts pushing perhaps, we start to see these weatherfronts pushing into the north and west of the uk to bring some thick cloud and outbreaks of rain. you can see a lot of places are staying dry, particularly for the south, where we was the

temperatures close to 20 celsius on sunday. you are watching bbc news. these are the headlines... travellers arriving in the uk for more than 70 countries from more than 70 countries and overseas territories are no longer required to quarantine for two weeks. changes to lockdown are announced or are coming into force

this week across the four nations of the uk. charities call for relatives of people living with dementia and care homes to be designated key workers so that they can have coronavirus tests and resume visits. a record number of people have contacted the nspcc with concerns about a child. the charity has asked the government to do more to deal with the children dealing with trauma. and hundreds of people turn out in sussex for the funeral of the forces sweetheart, dame vera lynn. let's start then with test cricket, as the west indies have had the better of play so far on day three of the opening test against england in southampton. the windies resumed on 57—1 at the start of play and it's been

slow going for england's bowlers. they've taken three wickets so far today. spinner dom bess made england's first break through. kraigg brathwaite went past 50 before falling before lunch, lbw by england captain ben stokes. this afternoon shamarh brooks went, caught behind off anderson, and jermaine blackwood the latest to go as the west indies have passed england's first innings total of 204. they're on 227—5. follow on the website and app and on test match special. the draws for the delayed final stages of the champions league and europa league have been made. in the champions league, manchester city, who lead real madrid 2—1 with the second leg of their tie to play, would face either lyon orjuventus if they reach the quarter—finals. while, if chelsea manage to come from 3—0 down to beat bayern munich, they would face either napoli or barcelona. so here is the quarter—final draw in full.

all of those ties will be played as one match, rather than two legs, and will all be hosted in lisbon. matches start on the 12th of august. those second legs of the last 16 still remaining will be play on the 7th and 8th of august. in the europa league manchester united have been drawn against istanbul bashak—shehir or copenhagen, wolves have a potential tie against sevilla or roma and rangers will play inter milan or getafe if they reach the last 8. steven gerrard's side trail bayer leverkusen 3—1 after the first leg of their last 16 tie. united and wolves will meet in the semi—finals if both get through. the scottish premiership season will kick off on 1 august after receiving written approval from the scottish government. the government has also confirmed that clubs can arrange friendly matches with immediate effect, as long as players are tested for covid—19 weekly from 13 july. rangers and hamilton academical are playing at the ibrox club's training ground this afternoon.

liverpool captain jordan henderson will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury. the midfielder scored in the 3—1win against brighton on wednesday before limping off late on in the match. he won't need surgery and should be fit in time for the start of next season. everybody is fine, absolutely, he deserves to lift the trophy and he will lift the trophy. as i said, no surgery, no surgery needed. that's the good news. for all the rest, we can make our own decisions, or i think a few decisions, how it will be around lift but hendo will lift the trophy. two more races have been added to the formula one calendar, taking the total to ten. the ferrari owned mujello circuit in italy will host a grand prix

for the first time on 13th september, with the russian grand prix in sochi confirmed for a fortnight later. in the meantime the second race weekend of the season has got underway in austria. this time the race will be called the styrian grand prix, in honour of the local area. the second session was suspended for more than ten minutes after daniel riccardo crashed his renault. fortunately the australian wasn't badly hurt. withjust minutes remaining max verstappen has gone quickest so far. wimbledon will distribute £10 million of prize money to the 620 players who would have taken part in this year's championships. it was cancelled for the first time since 1945 because of the coronavirus pandemic. singles players who would have been in the main draw will be given £25,000, with qualifiers, doubles and wheelchair players also each receiving money. that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in the next hour.

record numbers of people have contacted the children's charity the nspcc during lockdown with concerns about a child. more than 22,000 adults have contacted the charity since april that's an increase of almost a third on the months prior to lockdown. abuse were the biggest worries being reported. i have been discussing that with dame esther ra ntzen, i have been discussing that with dame esther rantzen, the founder of childline. i asked dame esther rantzen, the founder of childline. iasked her what dame esther rantzen, the founder of childline. i asked her what she made of the figures. it is a heck of a lot of very concerned adults who are getting in touch with the nspcc because they fear for the safety of the children and young people known to them either as neighbours or members of the family. and we're finding exactly the same on childline that there is a great surge in the number of calls from children and young people who, during the lockdown, found themselves imprisoned in families where frankly

they were either very unhappy or even unsafe because there was violence, because there was addiction, some kind of situation at home and school had always been a refuge for them, they tell us. or maybe the extended family, grandparents, had been where they felt safe and during lockdown they could not escape. so a number of them were saying to childline they felt so desperate theyjust wanted to run away. how on earth does the person taking that call deal with that? because at the absolute height of lockdown, what options were there for anyone? what on earth can you say to a child in that scenario? the first thing you do is listen very carefully and you reassure the child or young person that we know it takes great courage for them to contact childline at all and that we are going to explore the situation with them

to see if there is a way we can improve it for them. and we have on the website a lovely area we call the calm zone which offers young people away of the escalating which offers young people away of de—escalating the feelings of panic or anxiety, or depression they are going through. and then we try and explore with the young person whether they are in real immediate danger, because if they are and if a child's life is at stake, then we will find that child and bring them to safety. otherwise we will offer the child the idea that perhaps we can refer them to another helping agency, like social services if they really feel they need to get away. but principally, what we do is empower the child to talk to us, to talk through their feelings, because quite often being listened to is what they really need.

that is what a grandparent would need and maybe a school friend would do, that is the help they are being denied in lockdown. and that goes to the heart of the key issues with schools being shut because a lot of these children, some of them might have been on the radar of people, might have been people who were looking out for them every day, whether a teacher or someone else and if they are not at school for reasons we all know about, that in itself is a problem, isn't it? yes, it certainly is and just as when there is domestic abuse between adults, which is intensified by lockdown, and that clearly has been recognised by government, so domestic violence can impinge upon children and very often they are the forgotten victims. and school has been there one escape to a refuge where they felt safe and they could get away from the violence and the anger, sometimes the bitter hatred that surrounds them at home. and so what can all of us do to try to help?

there are clearly people out there with what is, out there with worries, that is why the nspcc is telling us it is had so many calls. what can people in day—to—day life do? people who may come across these children in shops, now things are easing, those sort of people? well, the casual stranger is very unlikely to pick up the profound thoughts of these young people and children who are suffering from depression, anxiety or otherfears. but there may be neighbours or families on the same wavelength as the child and want to help. obviously the nspcc helpline is there, but there is also the common or garden mobile phone or phone line and you have to in that case talk to the child or text a child or speak to the child via the internet because childline is there and can supply that back—up, but so are the people

who love that child as well. we will talk a bit more about the changes in travel rules. travellers are being asked by airlines to check in online wherever possible to reduce contact between people and wearing a face covering while flying is now compulsory. our business correspondent, katy austin, has spent the morning at gatwick airport to see the new measures in place, and find out what the airport atmosphere is like as more and more flights resume. summer holidays might be on again, but the travel experience will feel very different. so, the tui desks here are very quiet because actually tui have not started their flights, that's not till tomorrow. downstairs, easyjet is already flying. there are a few more passengers around. when you get here, you will see lots of signs reminding you to keep socially distanced from others, as you can see here, keep your mask on and when staff

are involved in check—in or bag drop, they are behind plastic screens. so a few changes you will really notice. in terms of the airport being quiet, well, yes, it has been really quiet. normally injune you get 2.2 million passengers departing from gatwick, this year in june it was only 17,000. so actually it's really important for the aviation and tourism industry that travel starts again. now i am joined by stewart wingate, the chief executive of gatwick airport. thank you forjoining us, stewart. morning. a really important day for you, holidays can get going again. it is very important day for both the airport and airlines such as tui who will be starting operations again tomorrow. we are delighted about that. also for our passengers, being able to come back and from many locations have confidence they can come back and not quarantine when they arrive back in the uk. you have had to do a lot of preparations, you haven't actually closed the airport, have you, but you've had to prepare it for the return of passengers. talk us through some of the big changes. the teams who work at gatwick have been open throughout the period. so we have never closed down. but at the airport we have spent a lot of time preparing

for the reopening of the flights across to the holiday destinations. lots of emphasis on hygiene, so hand sanitisation. obviously the wearing of face masks, also the installation of perspex screens, to protect passengers and staff. lots of emphasis really on having the hygiene levels as high as they can possibly be so passengers and staff are safe. stewart wingate, the ceo of gatwick airport there talking to our business correspondent katy austin. a man accused of stabbing to death three friends in a park in reading, in a suspected terrorist attack last month, is due to stand trial in november. the date was set as 25—year—old khairi saadallah appeared at the old bailey via video link from prison. the trial is expected last up to three weeks. johnny depp has been shown a series of photographs that his former wife amber heard says show marks caused by assaults carried out by the actor. depp has been giving further evidence in his libel case against the sun newspaper, about allegations he was violent towards his then wife.

our correspondent david sillito sent this report from the high court. johnny depp arriving for a fourth day of questioning about his turbulent relationship with his former wife, amber heard. this case for libel against the publishers of the sun was triggered by an article that described johnny depp as a wife—beater. in court, johnny depp was questioned about the description of amber heard's claims of physical abuse as an elaborate hoax. he was shown photographs that she says show marks sustained by an assault. an assault that he says didn't happen. these photographs are amongst a number that have been released, showing what amber heard says are injuries caused by a violent row in december 2015. johnny depp says their heads collided whilst she was swinging at him, but he denies striking or assaulting amber heard. he was questioned about a row that took place a few weeks later, on her birthday. it was put to him...

news group newspapers say there is overwhelming evidence that johnny depp assaulted amber heard. johnny depp says it's all a fabrication. the photos, the testimony, a carefully compiled dossier for what's been described as "an elaborate hoax". david sillito, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news... travellers arriving in the uk from more than 70 countries and overseas territories are no longer required to quarantine for two weeks. as face coverings become compulsory in shops in scotland other changes to lockdown measures are announced or come into force across the uk we'll have the latest. charities are calling

for relatives of people living with dementia in care homes to be designated as key workers so they can resume visits as one charity says the current coronavirus restrictions have had "damaging consequences". in scotland, face coverings are mandatory in shops from today. those who don't comply could be fined 60 pounds. it's one of a number of changes to lockdown restrictions coming into force. let's discuss the wearing of masks, with professor of public health at the university of edinburgh. good afternoon. good afternoon. compulsory in shops. is that the right approach? it interesting, i nipped out to my local shop over lunchtime and everyone was wearing a face covering. i absolutely agree with s and i think it's confusing for the public, though. we are not

used to this in the uk and of course early in the pandemic, the who was ambiguous in its advice and in scotla nd ambiguous in its advice and in scotland and elsewhere in the uk, the government was not advising wearing them indoor places. but the evidence has grown, been pulled together in a series of systematic reviews recently, and i think it's pretty clear that face coverings can make a difference. they can make a difference indoors? i'm interested in yourtake on difference indoors? i'm interested in your take on the distinction between end was and outdoors because i have interviewed so many people over the course of this virus you have set outdoors they really as far as they were concerned they really did not offer protection. now, that is correct. as we know and i think everybody has heard the evidence around the fact that indoor environments are more risky. to be clear, face covering as opposed to a facemask which you would use in a health care setting or social care setting or for particular occupations, is essentially what it is doing is when we exhale or cough

or sneeze, there are small droplets which produce and what they face covering does is trap those so they are not passed over to the people around you, it's what we call protecting, dealing with the source, potentially, of transmission. where thatis potentially, of transmission. where that is particularly important is indoors where ventilation might be poor or if we were not wearing a face covering, those might land on surface or somebody else. so we know from lab studies and some population studies that they need to be worn correctly but can make a difference and not pass it on. remember walking around outdoors, passing people in the street, they are really not necessary from the evidence we have to date. again, earlier in the locked—in, there were concerns that wearing one regular member of the public wearing one in the kind of setting we're talking about now could give us for sense of security and we all have anecdotal experience of people coming up to you, perhaps

far too close in a supermarket because they were waving a mask and felt invincible. what do you think about that? is this our attitudes change over time? there is some evidence from behavioural science that might be the case in some circumstances but the evidence is not that strong and it's also not really what i have observed routinely because of course more and more people have been waiting them. i think it's important that we recognise and why they are being recommended and they are not a replacement, i would emphasise, for the other public health measures. hand hygiene, cleaning, physicaland social—distancing where possible. so we need to look at it as a variety of things coming together to provide protection to the population and let's remember that in england, the latest ons data suggests the still about 1700 cases a day of coronavirus. so the virus has not gone away, this is a small thing that most people can do, not recommended i should emphasise for all groups but the vast majority of

people and i think it will help. that's so interesting you talked about handwashing because how much will we all, where we are discussing that three months ago and now it rarely comes up so i am struck from your perspective as an expert in this area that perhaps we should see posters again everywhere? talking about masks but reminding people about masks but reminding people about handwashing, the most basic element. i know, it sounds boring but it's interesting, we have seen evidence around the world that actually it is making a difference in other ways. in australia if you look at the influencer flu figures they are in their winter and are really, really low, probably the main reason for that as people are practising better hygiene, and it has been increased by public awareness of coronavirus. like any measure in public health we need to keep conveying that message so people do not forget the small things they can do protect themselves and others. yes, really interesting. final thought, are we all going to be ultimately using masks for quite sometime to come? it

is already different depending where you live in the uk, but is this something that will grow?|j you live in the uk, but is this something that will grow? i think so andi something that will grow? i think so and i am particularly keen we do that in the winter and autumn when we are more indoors, there are 70 countries when the who declared the pandemic who instantly recommended citizens wear them and many countries in south asia, southeast asia, do it more often influences and soi asia, do it more often influences and so i think it's with us for something to come. maybe not forever, but for the foreseeable future. very nice to talk to you, thank you. very, very interesting to hear her perspective. royal mail has been fined by ofcom for being late with first class delivery and overcharging for second class sta m ps. delivery and overcharging for second class stamps. they miss their target of delivering 93% of first class post within the collection. also they had overcharged the public by

£60,000 after raising the cost of a second class stamp for a price cap was officially lifted. royal mail said it was disappointed with its performance. it was a victory that became one of the defining moments of the second world war, and the nazis' first defeat today marks 80 years since the start of the battle of britain. the spitfire was one of the iconic aircraft that took part, and now the raf has recognised for the first time that a 13 —year—old girl played a vital role in the plane's design. sophie raworth reports. newsreel: way up in the sky, there are messerschmitts, junkers, heinkels or dorniers that are going to get the thrashing of their lives. july 1940 and nazi germany is beginning the first of many bombing raids, in what became known as the battle of britain. but the raf‘s pilots managed to fight off the luftwaffe and defend these shores in their spitfires and hurricanes. it is the most famous plane from world war ii. it played a crucial role in the battle of britain. but what we didn't know until now was the role that a 13—year—old girl

played in its design. this new generation of fighter plane had originally been designed with just four machine guns. but this man, captain fred hill, a scientific officer in the air ministry, became convinced that four guns would not be enough. each plane needed eight. he faced stiff opposition. most thought eight guns would be too many, impossible to fit on the planes. but captain hill was convinced he was right, so he turned to an unlikely person for help. his 13—year—old daughter, hazel, a talented mathematician. together, around their kitchen table, they worked through the night on complex calculations to prove that eight guns, firing at least 1,000 rounds a minute, was essential for success. they talk about burning the midnight oil and coming into the office late, after everybody‘s gone to carry out

further calculations and borrow some bits of equipment to carry out experiments, more or less off their own bat, working very long hours, because they were really dedicated to these things. and, of course, people taking their work home. hazel told her sons about her role when they were growing up. it's amazing history hangs on so fine a thread, isn't it? you know, if she'd got the calculations wrong or she hadn't been asked to help and the decision had not been made to go with eight guns, who knows what would have happened? this graph, presented to the air ministry in 1934, was the result of hazel‘s calculations. with eight guns firing, the fighters typically had just two seconds to hit their target before pulling away. they had to get incredibly close to the enemy planes, just 250 yards away, to stand a chance of shooting them down. hazel‘s calculations meant

the government changed its mind. the battle of britain proved to be a turning point in the war. it was the bravery and success of the pilots which made victory possible, but, without the support of many others, the battle may not have been won. what a great inspiration for young people today, young girls in particular, that can look upon someone like hazel in the early 19305, making such an important contribution. 80 years after the battle of britain, hazel hill is finally getting the public recognition she deserved. an american sprinter appeared to have obliterated the world record for the men's 200 metres only to find he'd run 15 metres less than he should have. noah lyles powered across the line at an event in florida in 18.9 seconds considerably better than the fastest ever

time set by usain bolt. so listen to steve cram's incredulous commentary... that cannot be right? that cannot be right! well, the reason? the organisers had put his starting blocks in the wrong place. i bet they were in trouble. how is theirjob looking i bet they were in trouble. how is their job looking right i bet they were in trouble. how is theirjob looking right now? bets catch up with the weather now. we end the week on a bright and sunny note as high pressure begins to build him, it has been very gloomy and grey across parts of england and wales over the last few days. quite a lot of rainfall too. today, more sunshine around except for heavy showers across northern and eastern areas. these are skies over bromley, pretty typical for skies across england and wales on the whole. high—pressure starting to building from the west, continue to cool off showers but no pressure to

the east, still generating further showers and downpours, heavy ones as you run on into the evening, eventually they will clear away, most eventually they will clear away, m ost pla ces eventually they will clear away, most places turning dry overnight with lengthy clear skies, later when, just a future was pushing to the north—west of scotland. with those lighter winds, temperatures, quite a chilly night for the time of year, temperatures into single for most places. into the weekend, high—pressure dominating, i dry one for most of us with plenty of sunshine. and feel a little bit warmer. high—pressure building in from the south—west, you can see much fewer isobars across the map, the wind will be later too. it will bea the wind will be later too. it will be a cool start to saturday, plenty of sunshine around, a bit of fear cloud but just the of sunshine around, a bit of fear cloud butjust the chance of an isolated shower, most bases dry, the greatest risk of showers in the north and western scotland, westerly breeze. mid—teens celsius in the north but will creep up to the low 20s further south. we still have

high pressure with a into part two of the weekend, you will notice these weather fronts associated with low pressure scraping into the north—west of the uk as we move through the day. starts dry and sunny for all areas, again a bit of fairweather cloud developing and then a breeze starting to come, thickening cloud and outbreaks later today. for eastern scotland, england and wales, dry. warmer with temperatures but close to the mid 20s celsius in one or two places. it stays breezy, cloudy and damp across the north—west corner of the country, further south and east it will be dry to take us on into monday. and much of next week which marginally settled, high—pressure will be with us, mainly across southern areas we will see the driest most settled rain with highest temperatures and a bit more cloud, chances of rain further north in and west. cloud, chances of rain further north in and west.

this is bbc news, i'm martine croxall. the headlines: travellers arriving in the uk from more than 70 countries and overseas territories are no longer required to quarantine for two weeks, making it easier to go on holiday. we do not have to quarantine coming back in, it is a big help, knowing that we can just go out there, we can stay in a hotel, obviously taking all the precautions. as face coverings become compulsory in shops in scotland, other changes to lockdown measures are announced or come into force across the uk — we'll have the latest. charities call for relatives of care home residents with dementia to be treated as key workers so they can be tested for coronavirus and allowed to visit their loved ones. not to be able to see her, just

talking to her on the telephone, has been fantastic, but it is not the same as getting to see your loved one. a record number of adults contact the nspcc with concerns about a child during lockdown. they urge the government to have a plan to help children dealing with trauma. one of the world's most important historic buildings, hagia sophia in istanbul, will be turned back into a mosque after the turkish president signed a highly controversial decree. hundreds of people turn out in sussex for the funeral of the forces' sweetheart, dame vera lynn. and on the 80th anniversary of the start of the battle of britain, the story of the 13—year—old girl who helped design the spitfire which was crucial to the raf‘s victory.

travellers arriving in the uk from dozens of countries are no longer required to quarantine for two weeks. the rules are being relaxed for arrivals from more than 60 countries, but scotland still requires anyone travelling from spain to quarantine, unlike england, wales and northern ireland. travel agents say the easing has led to an increase in demand forforeign holidays, though the foreign office is still advising against going on a cruise. john mcmanus has this report. spain's tourist industry is keen to say hola to british holiday—makers as soon as possible. one of them, paul, is heading there on saturday. now we don't have to quarantine coming back in, it's a big help, knowing we can just go out there, we can stay in the hotel, obviously taking all the precautions, social distancing and masks and everything, hand sanitiser and everything.

the hotel seems to have it mostly under control. more britons are likely to venture abroad now that the uk's travel quarantine has been relaxed, but it's not straightforward. take europe. travellers arriving into the uk from most places now don't have to self—isolate for two weeks. but some of these countries have restrictions when british people go there. those travelling from anywhere else, including controversially portugal, do still have to follow the quarantine rules. and people arriving into scotland from spain will, too. if you fly to portugal at the moment, you will invalidate any travel insurance that you have. so the fco warning still applies. portugal as we discussed earlier is not on that exclusion list. so if you do travel, and you do have travel insurance and you are relying on that, you will invalidate it. liz's package holiday to croatia tomorrow is still booked, but her flight‘s been cancelled.

from what i understand, although some countries have opened up to tourists, a lot of flights are not currently running, so although the accommodation is available for tourists, there are no flights to get there. and i think that is where the confusion is. airports will become a bit busier again in the coming weeks. they and the airlines which use them, are desperate to get paying passengers through their doors and into the air. but the return of international travel won't be plain sailing. the uk's foreign office is advising all britons not to travel on cruise ships at the moment. instructions which it says are based on advice from a government health body, public health england. john mcmanus, bbc news. joining me now is dr peter drobac, an infectious disease specialist at oxford university.

thank you very much forjoining us. how wise do you believe it is for us to travel overseas at the moment, all to be welcoming foreign visitors? yes, i am concerned about doing things at this stage. we have obviously seen some progress in the declining number of infections, but things have really started to flatten out over the last week or two, because we have been really rushing to be open. border controls are one of the important ways we can keep the epidemic under control, so iam keep the epidemic under control, so i am worried that this further step to open things up may put us at risk ofa to open things up may put us at risk of a second search. are we doing enough to monitor people when they arrive? i do not think so. not much thatis arrive? i do not think so. not much that is happening right now. the test and trace is a functioning but not in an optimum level. there's very little border screening that is happening and we are told people i meant to give an address of where they are meant to be found, but otherwise there is no follow—up. what we are seeing round the world

is that the is actually accelerating, up to 12 million cases and counting and we are seeing flare—ups in places like spain and australia, places that seemed to have things under control. the risk here is that if we keep all of our borders open and do not have adequate control, we are going to be caught by surprise with flare—ups here at home. spain is of course on the list of countries which we can travel between. how important though is it to keep things under review on a country by country basis? there has to be a global cooperation, but we need to understand that each of these little steps that we make towards opening up our giving the virus a little bit more oxygen, a little bit more room at growth and so there is a risk with each one. the other thing is that we do not see the impact of these steps to be open, whether that is pubs or pubs or restaurants or shops or gyms or the easing of the quarantines for three to five weeks. what we're

seeing is that every week we are opening more and more and it is not really giving us a chance to assess the impact of any one of these measures. the r isjust barely the impact of any one of these measures. the r is just barely below one in england, we have seen a flattening in the number of new cases. my concern is that in the weeks to come we might see an uptake andi weeks to come we might see an uptake and i think we really need to make some choices about what is more important, is it our summer holidays and pubs, or is ita important, is it our summer holidays and pubs, or is it a safe reopening of schools come september? i think we have not really reckoned with those hard choices. opening pubs and going on holiday will help the economy and we know people being out of work and not earning enough money to keep things going also has a health impact, so the government is caught between a rock and a hard place, surely? it is obviously an incredible difficult decision. there has been a tremendous amount of suffering, but we have to be careful to ta ke suffering, but we have to be careful to take the long view here and to understand that there is a bit of a false choice between public health and the economy. there is no country that has failed to bring the virus

under control that was able to thrive economically. this pandemic is going to be with us with a long period of time. what we are risking now is entering into a cycle of lock downs and releases and that is going to be much more devastating economically and socially over the long—term. look to scotland now, which has had just to current forest deaths over the last week, compared to about 350 in england —— to coronavirus deaths. it could follow scotla nd coronavirus deaths. it could follow scotland ‘s lead and we want a zero coronavirus britain and effectively eliminate it from the british isles and that would allow us to open up much more normally and be betterfor the economy in the long term. thank you very much. following months of coronavirus lockdown, restrictions across the uk are continuing to ease. in england, beauty salons and tattooists can reopen from monday, while gyms and indoor swimming pools can open on july 25th.

in wales, pubs, cafes, restaurants and bars can reopen indoors from 3rd august, providing coronavirus cases continue to fall. and in northern ireland, gyms welcomed back customers this morning. we'll hear more from wales and northern ireland in a moment but first, lorna gordon reports from scotland, where it is now compulsory to wear a face covering in shops. she is wearing one, they are wearing them too, and from today, most people, with the exception of young children and those with certain medical conditions, will have to wear a face covering while shopping in scotland or they'll be breaking the law. i think it's something that we'll just have to get used to for the foreseeable future. anything that's going to help stop the spread, i absolutely agree with. so wearing a mask into a shop or a confined space, i'm completely happy to do that. you've got a mask with you just now, so you'll be wearing it in the shop? yes, home—made mask, yes. as this new measure comes in, other restrictions are being eased. up to 15 people are now being allowed to meet outdoors as long

as physical distancing remains. that will also apply to limited indoor gatherings which are now allowed and which can include overnight stays. and the two—metre rule is being eased on public transport and in retail, as long as strict conditions are in place to lower risk. many shops have already put in mitigating measures to protect their customers and staff. in this children's shoe shop, there are now protective screens in place. they are hopeful people will get on—board with these latest changes to the way they shop. obviously, for children under five, we wouldn't be asking them to wear a mask. for an adult, we would pretty much be insisting on wearing masks, and i do have a spare mask in the shop. and they are not in here for a long time, i think it's quite an airy environment, so i'm hoping that, yes, i'm hoping that they will adhere to the guidelines. scotland's first minister has warned that anyone not complying risks a £60 fine. the law, coming into force today, it should not need to be enforced,

but the police can issue fines if necessary. iam asking i am asking everybody to stick to the law, not because of a fear of enforcement, but because it is the right thing to do. it helps keeps us and other people safe. as restrictions ease and normal life resumes, the risk of the virus spreading will increase. the scottish government believes face coverings are an important part of the measures to try and make sure that doesn't happen. lorna gordon, bbc news, glasgow. lockdown has tested people's endurance in different ways. but now, warming up and working out is back. gyms in northern ireland are open again, ahead of the rest of the uk. oh, it's brilliant to be back. it really helps everyone's mental health when they're in the gym. i've really, really missed it. i never thought that i'd say that i'd missed being at the gym, but i really miss notjust the exercise but also the community spirit. i was a bit nervous last night about coming back, but so glad to be back now. treadmills are being pounded, routines are being resumed,

and weights are being lifted again after more than 100 days. everyone's taking great care to stay within the new rules. every other machine is switched off, to help people keep two metres apart. and users are wiping down equipment after they've finished. gym owners say gym goers are adapting. we have cleaning stations, at every corner at every opportunity of the gym. a lot of staff walking about, making sure everyone is social distancing. we're just here to support the people and make sure the experience is a good one. the fitness industry i think is going to have a big comeback from this. the mental— health side of it is going to be a big, big reality for people and i think the fitness industry is going to do very, very, very well from this, as you can see. fitness programmes are being picked up where they were left off. but the last few months have been tough going for personal trainers, who have had to draw on their inner strength. it was hard to see light at the end of the tunnel, if i'm honest, as a personal trainer.

if you had have told me we would be in lockdown for four months and without a job, i would not have said i would have come out the other end if i'm honest. we are all glad to be back now but it was a strange time, a strange four months for everyone. the times are becoming a little less strange today. some more restrictions are being eased, cinemas are reopening, as are playgrounds and amusement arcades. life is becoming more active here as the transmission rate of the virus remains low. chris page, bbc news, belfast. the first minister of wales, mark drakeford, has set out dates for a large number of businesses to come out of lockdown over the next three weeks. our wales correspondent tomos morgan explained what's next for businesses. from tomorrow, hotels and self—contained accommodation will begin reopening in wales. but the major announcement today from the press conference of the first minister is setting a date for indoor restaurants, pubs and cafes to reopen. he says that they can reopen from the third, so long as the rates continue to decline. outdoor spaces in the hospitality

industry can restart from monday, but many of the businesses that we have been speaking to over the past few weeks say that realistically, they may not have an outdoor space, or it may be very limited, so they have been waiting for this date and now something has been given, so that will no doubt be a relief to many of those businesses across wales. there's been a huge list today in first minister, mark drakeford's announcement just half an hour ago, businesses that can reopen over the next couple weeks, i willjust run through a couple of them for you now. on monday, there can also be groups of up to 30 people outdoors in say a fitness class outside, so long as someone is taking that group of people. the following week, playgrounds will be able to reopen. on the 25th, campsites can reopen and on the 27th, museums and cinemas will also be able to reopen. the other thing that mark drakeford has also said is that the two metre social distancing rule will remain in place in wales, but of course, as nail salons and beauty spots continue to reopen on the 27th,

there may be occasions where that might not be feasible, so so long as those businesses can maintain a high level of hygiene standards, they can of course reopen. but the main news, as i say, is that wales, the last nation of the uk, has finally set a date on the indoor hospitality sector to reopen and that will be from the 3rd of august. the uk government has announced the latest easing of lockdown restrictions in england, with some leisure facilities and beauty services allowed to reopen. from tomorrow, outdoor swimming pools can reopen, and performances can take place in outdoor theatres, while some sports, such as cricket, will also return. from monday, customers can return to beauticians, tattooists, spas and tanning salons, but they will be subject to some restrictions. and on the 25th ofjuly, indoor pools, gyms and other sports facilities will reopen.

theh headlines on bbc news... travellers arriving in the uk from more than 70 countries and overseas territories are no longer required to quarantine for two weeks — making it easier to go on holiday. as face coverings become compulsory in shops in scotland — other changes to lockdown measures are announced or come into force across the uk. charities call for relatives of care home residents with dementia to be treated as key workers so they can be tested for coronavirus and for coronavirus and allowed to visit their loved ones. a further 48 deaths have been recorded in the last 24—hour period in all settings. that takes the total number of deaths to 44,650. the r number — a key measure of how much coronavirus is spreading — has risen slightly in england to reach between 0.8 and 1.0.

the r numberfor the rest of the uk remains between 0.7 and 0.9 beauty salons in england will be allowed to reopen from monday, after being closed for almost four months. but some beauticians are angry that they will still not be allowed to do any treatments on their clients' faces, including eyelash—threading, eyebrow waxing or make—up, despite the fact that beard—trimming has been allowed since last weekend. hilary hall is chief executive of the national hair and beauty federation, which represents 5,000 hair and beauty salons nationwide. shejoins us now from rugby. they will be queueing up, i sure sure, to get an appointment, as we have seen with hairdressers, but what for you is contradictory about these evenings? i think the first thing is that, as of now, the whole beauty industry is closed it down. so it is a positive step that at least some parts of the beauty

industry can reopen as of monday. but yes, it is definitely a mixed picture for many beauty salons, because treatment is on the face are really important, but we will still be able to go ahead with treatments to the body, manicures, pedicures, waxing my messages are on offer and i'm sure the public will look forward to getting those treatments again. why can you imagine that beer trimming is permissible? this i think if they hangover from the fact that the hair guidelines that were published before the beauty ones, so the guidelines at the hairdressers and barbers originally said you could cut or treat hair on the head and of course that immediately gave rise to questions, what about shaving and what about beard trimmers are? shaving is definitely out because it is in this high risk zone which is in front of the client's nose and mouth. beard,

there was a lot of debate about it and it was agreed that a quick trim, where a lot of the work is done from the side anyway, it would be ok. then they started working on the beauty guidelines and i suspect that, having reached the decision that, having reached the decision that actually no treatments on the face can be provided, if beard trimmers had been considered at the same time, they might have reached a different conclusion, but barbershops have been preparing to open and working to these guidelines are for some weeks now. how bizarre. how well prepared to do you think your members are? i think they are well prepared. unfortunately, the guidelines for beauty did not come out until late last night, so actually, preparing to reopen monday, with a revised treatment list, has been the main problem. obviously, beauty salons are expecting all the hygiene and cleanliness requirements, the social distancing, but haven't meant your treatment list right at the last

minute —— having to amend your treatment list, when they are reopening on monday, it has come very late indeed. thank you very much for your time. president erdogan of turkey has signed a highly controversial decree turning one of the world's most important historic buildings, hagia sophia in istanbul, back into a mosque. it comes after turkey's highest court ruled that the building is no longer a museum. the unesco world heritage site was built in the sixth century as a greek orthodox cathedral, serving as the home of the eastern orthodox church for nearly 900 years. then following the ottoman conquest in the fifteenth century it was turned into a mosque, with spires and minarets added to the impressive structure. after the end of world war i, the ottoman empire was defeated and divided by the victorious allies. and with modern day turkey established as a secular nation, a law was passed in 1934 banning religious gatherings

at hagia sophia, turning it into a museum from 1935 onwards. turkey's highest court has now ruled that conversion into a museum should never have happened. our international correspondent orla guerinjoins us from istanbul. it has been a mosque in the past, so why is it so controversial that it will become a mosque again?” why is it so controversial that it will become a mosque again? i think it is because some critics would see it, one part of the history of hagia sophia is being respected at the expense of another. it was originally constructed as the largest cathedral in christendom and was a major cathedral for 900 years until the ottoman conquest of what was then constantinople. at that stage it to become a mosque for 500 yea rs stage it to become a mosque for 500 years and subsequently, as you mentioned, was turned into a museum,

but many would say you could not publish one part of that history over another and you have to look back at the original foundations and purpose of the building and that was to serve as a christian place of worship. certainly there have been objections before this decision by the orthodox church worldwide. the leader of orthodox christians who was based here in istanbul, he issued a plea saying that the church should be kept as it was, as a place where there was mutual understanding, mutual respect, dialogue, between religions and that was also very much the attitude of the us state department. they said that hagia sophia was serving as a much—needed bridge between the faiths. so they were both appealing for no change to take place. we have had a concerned reaction it so far from unesco, the un world heritage organisation. hagia sophia is a world heritage site and it pointed

out... excuse me, it put out a statement appealing to turkey not to make any move that would change what it called the universal value of the site and we had a very angry reaction from the greek culture minister saying that the decision was proof that there is no independent judiciary and turkey, that this was an abuse of presidential power by president erdogan and that in fact he was leading his country back to the sixth century, which was the period in which hagia sophia was constricted. i should say, the president's supporters would argue that this is a mosque on turkish territory for top it is and take hands under turkish control and the turkish people should be allowed to decide what to do with it. certainly, for the president's conservative religious base and for many turkish nationalists, this will bea many turkish nationalists, this will be a very popular move. but for those who are opposed to it, further evidence i suppose of the erosion of secularism on which modern day

turkey was founded ? secularism on which modern day turkey was founded?” secularism on which modern day turkey was founded? i think you really can't argue against that. any potential change at hagia sophia is deeply symbolic. the decision to change it from a mosque into a museum was made by the founder of modern turkey, who had a secular vision for the state and we have seen president erdogan in recent yea rs seen president erdogan in recent years it step—by—step and move by move overturning and cancelling much of that secular legacy and reshaping turkey according to his own vision, which is a religious one. i should say we had a chance to speak to tu rkey‘s say we had a chance to speak to turkey's most famous and acclaimed writer and nobel prizewinner and he was horrified by this decision and said that millions of secular turks like him would be crying over this move, but he said their voices would not be heard because according to him, there is no free speech and no democracy in turkey. thank you very much.

lockdown restrictions are being eased again in england. from saturday outdoor pools can open, whilst indoor pools, gyms and other sports facilities will be allowed to reopen on the 25 ofjuly. matt hodges owns a gym in london and joins me now from his home in hertfordshire. welcome, how important have gyms been during lockdown in trying to keep their members active, even if they are doing it remotely? good question. i run a slightly different shape, i run a one—to—one studio, so for me it is very easy to run zoom client sessions. when i say easy, it is easy for a face—to—face conversation like we are having now, but actually to facilitate the sessions has become quite tricky. i cannot really speak further large—scale membership gems to how they dealt with their clients, i can only talk for my own. technology has really been important, hasn't it,

during this period, for keeping in contact with people? from your clients' point of view, how important has it been mentally for them that they can keep exercising in the way they are used to? yes, i think it is quite an important one, although it is quite a hard one to quantify whether it has helped mentally. i will give you an example. i have lost a good amount of clients through this time, 40% of my client base are actually international and so they left to go back overseas and because gyms have opened overseas, they have actually gone back and started to use them and not using my services. people are keen to get back into them, whether that is physically or mentally, but you know, ithink whether that is physically or mentally, but you know, i think a lot of what i do is keeping people accountable and assume sessions have absolutely kept them on track, doing multiple sessions a week. while i'm not there to help them physically, it does keep them with some regularity for i think people have gone one way or other? have gone

exercise mad or slumped on the sofa? they have, and it is their choice they make. but i like to keep my client is accountable, so a lot who are not international have stayed and kept consistent, but i do understand it is very difficult for a lot of other people. i've heard along the lines of, people can just go for a along the lines of, people can just go fora run, along the lines of, people can just go for a run, for instance put up i think that is really quite short—sighted, because a lot of people cannot run, do not have the ability to, whether it is through injuries or it is not their focus. gyms are a really important part of people's physical and mental health. you are talking about guilt, and i clearly do not feel enough of it whilst my gym has been closed. how effective has your business been during the lockdown? have you been able to take advantage of the support from the government?” able to take advantage of the support from the government? i had to and i'm so thankful for it because it has kept me alive. like i said, i lost about 40% of my client base, international client base, who live in london. there is no way i

can charge my maximum rate online. people pay my rates because they come to my facility, use my equipment and so they pay for the luxury of that. i am not even charging them half of the amount that i do for sessions, so financially it has taken a real hit. what have you had to put in place to be able to reopen your facility? that is ably good question because actually i have had no guidance was not i am just using common sense. miners at one—to—one, so one person in, one out for top i'm not having multiple people in at one time, so for me it is probably easier than the bigger gyms for that i will wear the bigger gyms for that i will wear the ppe and gloves and have anti back gel, what i plan to do is clean after every session. down to me, no one has told me had to do it, just think it is common sense really. understand that is they lockdown beard, will clients recognise you when they see you next? when i came in to the bbc last week ijoked that i was going to go into the lumberjack trade and that is why i

am wearing this shirt, but thankfully, the 25th ofjuly this is all coming off and and we are going back to normal. we all need another string to our boat. thank you so much for talking to us. time for a look at the weather. we are and in the week on a much brighter note right across the board. it has been a very gloomy last few days across england and wales. lots of sunny speu england and wales. lots of sunny spell throughout the day, though there will be some heavy showers affecting northern and eastern parts of the country, close to that area of the country, close to that area of low pressure which is clearing. high pressure now taking over and it will tend to kill off the showers as you move through the evening and overnight period. apart from my future was into north and western scotland, most of the country will be dry with lighter winds, clearer skies and a recipe for quite a chilly night for this time of year, temperatures in single figures are pretty much across the board. on the weekend, with high—pressure dominating, it will be mainly dry and lots of sunshine, so will feel it isa and lots of sunshine, so will feel it is a bit warmer, particularly in the south. high pressure is moving on from the south through saturday and sunday, but on sunday, late on

perhaps, start to see these weather fronts are pushing on to the north and west of the uk to bring some thick cloud and outbreaks of rain. you could yell lot of places that staying dry, particularly further south, we will see temperatures reaching close to 20 celsius on sunday. hello this is bbc news with martine croxall. the headlines... travellers arriving in the uk from more than 70 countries and overseas territories are no longer required to quarantine for two weeks, making it easier to go on holiday. as face coverings become compulsory in shops in scotland, other changes to lockdown measures are announced or come into force across the uk. charities call for relatives of care home residents with dementia to be treated as key workers so they can be tested for coronavirus and allowed to visit their loved ones. one of the world's most important historic buildings, hagia sophia in istanbul, is to be turned back into a mosque after the turkish president signed

a highly controversial decree. to the forces sweetheart, dame vera lynn at her and hundreds of people turn out to pay tribute to the forces sweetheart, dame vera lynn at her funeral in sussex. record numbers of people have contacted the children's charity the nspcc during lockdown with concerns about a child. more than 22,000 adults have contacted the charity since april. that's an increase of almost a third on the months prior to lockdown. parental behaviour, neglect and physical and emotional abuse were the biggest worries being reported. andrew fellowes is from the nspcc and joins me now from central london. how surprised when you buy these figures? i remember a how surprised when you buy these figures? i remembera lot how surprised when you buy these figures? i remember a lot of social workers at the beginning of lockdown we re workers at the beginning of lockdown were expressing concern. we are not

surprised by these figures, but obviously we are extreme a concern. it's worth pointing out that this also reflects fantastic work by the great british public to have stepped up great british public to have stepped up and played part of their role in safeguarding, but the majority of children not being at school, not contacting services, we have been extremely concerned about children who are potentially at risk of abuse and neglect who are not getting the support that they need. and we published research a couple of weeks ago which showed that the increase in social isolation, the increase in pressure is on family and that reduction in those support services do increase the risk and potential for abuse and neglect of children. how many of these calls that you have taken needed to be referred to either social services or the police? we have seen a slight increase in the proportion of calls that he did that referral to a

statutory aid. about 40%. the helpline provides important advice to parents, members of the community ona to parents, members of the community on a whole range of issues, but when the experts on that helpline where they feel there is a risk of harm to that child, they will make that referral to the police or local services. a significant proportion have been really serious issues that have been really serious issues that have been really serious issues that have been made. obviously abuse, neglect can have a very long—term impact on child. what's the work that you do to them that can try to prevent that damage been too long lasting? trauma can have a huge impact on children and young people but it doesn't have to be that way. we do know that services, the nspcc provide and lots of other organisations provide can with the right support and time, rebuilt children's emotional well—being and get them over those experiences, but we think it's absolutely vital that

funding for that support is made available, we are part of the coalition of over 150 charities that root to the chancellor last week, telling him to put children at the heart of the recovery. we've had £1 billion invested, that's absolutely vital, we are concerned that without broader pastoral support and well—being support, children who have experienced abuse and neglect in the lockdown can also be locked out of that support because actually it can take a long time for children to be able to process that trauma and while that is happening they can be shut out from those kind of academic programmes. not to excuse abuse or neglect at all, but looking at the circumstances some family find themselves in, especially during lockdown, they are under a lot of pressure. what support is there for parents who find that they are not coping? absolutely. many of the contacts that helpline, we think

it's absolutely vital that support forfamilies, at it's absolutely vital that support for families, at that early stage, early intervention services, are available. whether that is the nhs, services like help visiting families with newborn children, they are available as well as the nspcc helpline. but that being said, they are being most affected by the cuts in public spending and the reductions in funding for local authorities. we see very significant decreases in the amount of funding available for those early intervention services that can support families and we are also calling for support, targeted through the benefit system to ensure that families with children who are at risk get the support they need. good to talk to you, thank you very much for your time. in mexico, the coronavirus pandemic has created an unprecedented opportunity for the country's drugs cartels.

the lockdown has left huge numbers of people unable to work and support themselves, so the drug gangs have stepped in. they've been setting up their own social welfare schemes — they've been setting up their own social welfare schemes, which are proving highly popular, but the threat of violence and crime is neverfar away. our correspondent anne laurent secured access to one cartel and sent this exclusive report. from dusk to dawn, the sinaloa's cartel operations never stop, even in times of coronavirus. the pandemic hasn't stopped them making money from misery. from trafficking heroin to smuggling firearms. thousands of lives destroyed. but in this safe house, usually used for drugs and weapons, cartel members now pack tuna, rice and toilet roll, ready for distribution to the poor.

each bag bears the name of sinaloa's infamous drug lord joaquin "el chapo" guzman, nowjailed for life in the us. mexican cartels have long used aid and welfare as a way to grow their support. but the lockdown has left many more people out of work, giving the cartels a new opportunity. dozens of drug cartels in mexico have made similar gestures. many are sharing videos of what is being called "narco philanthropy". but the distributions have angered

the mexican president. violence driven by drug cartels has led to record murder rates in mexico. since lockdown started, murders have soared to almost 3,000 a month, many of them innocent bystanders. security experts say that the aid packages are not selfless acts, but calculating business moves.

the sinaloa cartel itself admits that loyalty is the key to their success. despite their firepower, it's the support of local people that could be the cartel‘s greatest weapon. anne laurent, bbc news, mexico. johnny depp has been shown a series of photographs that his former wife amber heard says show marks caused by assaults carried out by the actor. johnny depp has been giving further evidence in his libel case against the sun newspaper, about allegations he was violent towards his then wife. our correspondent david sillito sent this report from the high court. johnny depp arriving for a fourth day of questioning about his turbulent relationship with his former wife, amber heard. this case for libel against the publishers of the sun was triggered by an article that described johnny depp as a wife—beater. in court, johnny depp was questioned

about the description of amber heard's claims of physical abuse as an elaborate hoax. he was shown photographs that she says show marks sustained by an assault. an assault that he says didn't happen. these photographs are amongst a number that have been released, showing what amber heard says are injuries caused by a violent row in december 2015. johnny depp says their heads collided whilst she was swinging at him, but he denies striking or assaulting amber heard. he was questioned about a row that took place a few weeks later, on her birthday. it was put to him... news group newspapers say there is overwhelming evidence that johnny depp assaulted amber heard.

johnny depp says it's all a fabrication. the photos, the testimony, a carefully compiled dossier for what's been described as "an elaborate hoax". david sillito, bbc news. leading charities are warning that people living in care homes who have dementia are deteriorating physically and mentally, partly because family members have been unable to visit during lockdown. in an open letter to the health secretary, they have called for relatives to be designated key workers, to enable them to be regularly tested for coronavirus, which would allow them to visit their relatives. sanchia berg reports. safety first is the understandable policy for care homes now. socially distanced visits are welcome, but no substitute for the close and often daily contacts some dementia patients used to have. now charities say family carers should be designated key workers, so they can come back. we are asking for them to have regular testing,

to have the ppe and be able to come in, visit, support and care for loved ones alongside the care home staff. family carers are there not only to give that hugs and support and love but also to provide and help with feeding and encourage them to take their medication. so all of this lack of contact with family carers has led to deterioration in symptoms with this group. we'll wait for ruth's phone to ring... this was the closestjudi gladman could get to her mother when she recently visited her care home in kent. judi says if she could give her mother that extra level of support and contact, it would make a big difference to both of them. we can talk through the bars and perhaps do some knitting, but she is not being mentally stimulated. we can't interact enough because of the physical distancing, really. it would make a huge difference to her, basically,

because she would be seeing me and my husband and perhaps my cousin regularly. she would be much more mentally stimulated. it would probably help the care home as well. care homes say caution is essential and some homes simply could not accommodate family key workers. how is that testing going to occur before they arrive into the services? what happens if you have got a 50 bedded and you have 50 people wanting to come in? the government has promised detailed guidance shortly on care home visits in england. long overdue say families, charities and care homes. the other uk nations have already published it. earlier my colleaguejane hill spoke to claire castle and herfather, edward stevens. claire's mother has dementia and has lived in a care home since october. no, we have not seen her since

the beginning of march. have you even been able to go to the window and have a wave, or does thatjust not feel appropriate? she's upstairs in the care home, so it would not be appropriate for her. at the moment, she is not able to stand for very long on her own, so that would not be... you know, we could not do that with her. when you... desperately, desperately difficult for you, when you hear this call today, this suggestion from charities that people in your position and your dad's position should be designated key workers, so that you could get a coronavirus test and be confident that you were free of the virus in the hope that that would then free you up to visit, what do you say about that? i am interested what you both feel about that suggestion? it would be absolutely fantastic. not seeing your loved ones for a number of months now,

it would be absolutely wonderful if we could go in and just give hera hug. of course. claire, your thoughts about that? yes, the same. i think it would be wonderful to have that connection again with her, even to help out in the care home as well would be a really good option. but also, she had contracted the coronavirus while she has been in the home and of course we couldn't go and see her orjust give her some big hug to help her through it. it hasjust been so very, very difficult. the headlines on bbc news... travellers arriving in the uk from more than 70 countries and overseas territories are no longer required to quarantine for two weeks, making it easier to go on holiday.

as face coverings become compulsory in shops in scotland, other changes to lockdown measures are announced or come into force across the uk. charities call for relatives of care home residents with dementia to be treated as key workers so they can be tested for coronavirus and allowed to visit their loved ones. if you've been in bristol this week, you may have noticed hundreds of painted hearts popping up across locations in the city centre. bristol's businesses and leaders have come together to launch "bristol together", a new initiative to safely reopen the city, kicking off with the creation of hundreds of giant hearts painted throughout some of the city centre's green spaces. the heart shapes are painted on the grass with at least two metres distance between them, to encourage visitors, workers and residents to protect themselves and others while also turning out to support businesses in the city. we can speak now to keith rundle, operations director at bristol city centre business improvement district, which represents over

750 local businesses. welcome. i am glad to see europe when one of bristol is many green spaces doing exactly what the initiative requires. where did the idea come from? it's an idea we just wa nted idea come from? it's an idea we just wanted to make sure everyone knew that bristol was safely reopening and people could come back with confidence that they could sit in an open space and be, and now they were ata open space and be, and now they were at a safe distance. so the initiative developed in part with the artists in brussels festival and delivered over this week around three main open spaces of the city centre. as somebody who is very accurate with a spray can by the looks of things. how have people responded to it? you might be able to see over my shoulder how people are responding to it. at the moment, any area, people are occupying the space and using them, doing fun things, taking photos of dogs,

themselves, their bite, there was a couple who just got married this afternoon had their photograph taken. people afternoon had their photograph ta ken. people have afternoon had their photograph taken. people have really taken this to heart so to speak. the whole thing is working really well for us and the key message city centres are safe to come back to if you take the measures available and out there at the moment. it is very effective, isn't it? they look very good and environmentally sound because they will disappear when it inevitably reigns. one of the other initiatives you have planned for bristol? the others, a marketing campaign bringing people back in, we're looking at other options, on street entertainment, key element for us is that the offices when they come back in need to know they have got these spaces for lunch, and to meet collea g u es spaces for lunch, and to meet colleagues or have whether if the, meetings if the weather stays glorious. and there are a couple of initiatives i won't share just yet.

no, don't spoil it. it's interesting even though we have been in lockdown it is very handy to have a reminder like these hearts of what the distances we need to keep between us. it is. and it's easy visible reminder of where you are and that you are keeping safe, you are reassured that if you have concerns about coming back into city centres after 12 or 14 weeks that you can see, certainly with all the coverage in the last few days, that bristol is still the fabulous place it was previously, that businesses are reopening and everybody is looking to welcome all those who work in the city and generally in the city both visiting and to spend their leisure time. it's a fabulous city and i'm glad we could talk to you and it. thank you. dame vera lynn, who died last month at the age of 103, has been honoured with a fly—past over her home village in sussex. hundreds of people gathered in ditchling to pay their respects

before her funeral. duncan kennedy is there. the final journey for dame vera lynn. applause. it was a village that came out, but it was a nation saying farewell. dame vera's daughter, virginia, walked with the cortege, past friends and neighbours. traffic stopped, memories were plentiful. it's a very special day. dame vera lynn living in the village, all the locals knew her and it is just going to be a very sad day, but obviously very iconic who she is. she was a heroine, absolute heroine, yeah, yeah. at noon, a battle of britain memorial flight soared over the village. three passes on behalf of the air force, army and navy, dame vera's life forever intertwined with the armed forces.

# when the lights go....# it was the aching cadence of her sonorous voice that helped vera lynn comfort millions during a moment of supreme national peril. from radio audiences at home... ..to concert performances before and after the war, her allure was an innocent charm, mixed with songs for the age. it is a day of sadness, because we have lost dame vera, her death will leave a great gap in our community. of course, in the whole nation, she was loved and cherished by so many people. the cortege then moved on to the private funeral service at a crematorium near brighton. there, the tri—service solemnity became part of the day. in dover, the famous white cliffs have been turned into a canvas of gratitude. a projection of recollections.

dame vera lynn, a symbol of resilience, a voice of hope and an inspiration for a nation that today said goodbye. it was a victory that became one of the defining moments of the second world war, and the nazis' first defeat. today marks 80 years since the start of the battle of britain. the spitfire was one of the iconic aircraft that took part, and now the raf has recognised for the first time that a 13—year—old girl played a vital role in the plane's design. sophie raworth reports. newsreel: way up in the sky, there are messerschmitts, junkers, heinkels or dorniers that are going to get the thrashing of their lives. july 1940 and nazi germany is beginning the first of many bombing raids, in what became known as the battle of britain.

but the raf‘s pilots managed to fight off the luftwaffe and defend these shores in their spitfires and hurricanes. it is the most famous plane from world war ii. it played a crucial role in the battle of britain. but what we didn't know until now was the role that a 13—year—old girl played in its design. this new generation of fighter plane had originally been designed with just four machine guns. but this man, captain fred hill, a scientific officer in the air ministry, became convinced that four guns would not be enough. each plane needed eight. he faced stiff opposition. most thought eight guns would be too many, impossible to fit on the planes. but captain hill was convinced he was right, so he turned to an unlikely person for help. his 13—year—old daughter, hazel, a talented mathematician. together, around their kitchen table, they worked through the night

on complex calculations to prove that eight guns, firing at least 1,000 rounds a minute, was essential for success. they talk about burning the midnight oil and coming into the office late, after everybody‘s gone to carry out further calculations and borrow some bits of equipment to carry out experiments, more or less off their own bat, working very long hours, because they were really dedicated to these things. and, of course, people taking their work home. hazel told her sons about her role when they were growing up. it's amazing history hangs on so fine a thread, isn't it? you know, if she'd got the calculations wrong or she hadn't been asked to help and the decision had not been made to go with eight guns, who knows what would have happened? this graph, presented to the air ministry in 1934, was the result of hazel‘s calculations. with eight guns firing, the fighters typically had just two seconds to hit their target before pulling away. they had to get incredibly close

to the enemy planes, just 250 yards away, to stand a chance of shooting them down. hazel‘s calculations meant the government changed its mind. the battle of britain proved to be a turning point in the war. it was the bravery and success of the pilots which made victory possible, but, without the support of many others, the battle may not have been won. what a great inspiration for young people today, young girls in particular, that can look upon someone like hazel in the early 19305, making such an important contribution. 80 years after the battle of britain, hazel hill is finally getting the public recognition she deserved. an american sprinter briefly appeared to have obliterated the world record for the men's 200 metres, only to find he'd run 15 metres less than he should have.

noah lyles powered across the line at an event in florida in 18.9 seconds, considerably better than the fastest ever time set by usain bolt. let's listen to steve cram's incredulous commentary. that cannot be right? that cannot be right! well, the reason? the organisers had put his starting blocks in the wrong place. if you shorten it enough, i could do it frankly! now it's time for a look at the weather with stav. hello there. we end the week on a bright and sunny note for many of us as high pressure begins to build, it has been very gloomy and grey across parts of england and wales over the last few days. quite a lot of rainfall too. today, a lot more sunshine around, bar a few heavy showers across northern and eastern areas. these are skies over bromley, south—east london, pretty typical of how skies are looking

across england and wales on the whole. high—pressure starting to build in from the west, will continue to kill off showers but low pressure to the east, still generating further showers and downpours, pretty heavy ones as we run on into the evening, eventually they will clear away, most places turning dry overnight with lengthy clear skies, lighter winds, just a few showers pushing to the north—west of scotland. with those lighter winds, quite a chilly night for the time of year, temperatures into single figures for most places. into the weekend, high—pressure dominating, a dry one for most of us with plenty of sunshine. and feel a little bit warmer too. high—pressure building in from the south—west, you can see much fewer isobars across the map, so the wind will be lighter too. it will be a cool start to saturday, plenty of sunshine around, a bit of fairweather cloud bubbling, just the chance of an isolated shower, most places dry, the greatest risk of showers in the north and west of scotland, a westerly breeze.

mid—teens celsius in the north, but will creep up to the low 20s further south. we still have high pressure with us into part two of the weekend, but you will notice these weather fronts associated with low pressure scraping into the north—west of the uk as we move through the day. so starts dry and sunny forallareas, again a bit of fairweather cloud developing and then a breeze starting to pick up, thickening cloud and outbreaks later today. for eastern scotland, england and wales, dry. warmer too with temperatures a bit closer to the mid 20s celsius in one or two places. it stays breezy, cloudy and damp across the north—west corner of the country, further south and east it will be dry to take us on into monday. and indeed much of next week looks marginally settled, and indeed much of next week looks largely settled, high—pressure will be with us, mainly across southern areas i think we will see the driest most settled rain with highest temperatures and a bit more cloud, chances of rain further north and west.

this is bbc news. i'm martine croxall. the headlines: travellers arriving in the uk from more than 70 countries and overseas territories are no longer required to quarantine for two weeks — making it easier to go on holiday. we do not have to quarantine coming back in, it is a big help, knowing that we can just go out there, we can stay in a hotel, obviously taking all the precautions. as face coverings become compulsory in shops in scotland — other changes to lockdown measures are announced or come into force across the uk — we'll have the latest. charities call for relatives of care home residents with dementia to be treated as key workers so they can be tested for coronavirus and allowed to visit their loved ones.
