good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and mega munchetty. our headlines today: face coverings could become mandatory in shops in england as the prime minister says the "balance of scientific opinion has shifted." disadvantaged gcse and a—level students in england may miss out on the results they deserve, after exams

were cancelled. wales sees the further easing of lockdown restrictions today with the reopening of some tourist accommodation. frustration for england's cricketers. they're under pressure in the first test as west indies take a healthy lead into the second innings. and as the equestrian sport of venti gets under way this weekend for the first time since lockdown, we are behind the scenes at the barbary horse trials. and if you are planning to get out and about this weekend i have good news for you, because it looks generally dry for us this weekend. there will be some spells of sunshine and it should be getting a bit warmer as well. it's saturday, the 11th ofjuly. our top story: tougher rules on wearing face coverings could be on the way in england, after the prime minister said a stricter approach may help stop the spread of coronavirus. it's already mandatory to wear a face covering in shops in scotland, and ministers are considering whether to follow

suit in england. the government has previously said the scientific evidence around wearing masks in public is "weak." john mcmanus reports. could this be the face of your future shopping trip in england? well, it's unlikely that you'll bump into the prime minister when you pick up your groceries, but boris johnson's government is considering weather to make the wearing of face coverings mandatory in shops. at an event on friday filmed at downing street the prime minister dropped a very large hint. we are looking at ways of making sure that people really do observe, we already do have face coverings in shops, the balance of scientific opinion seems to have shifted in favour of, more in favour of them than it was, and we are very keen to follow that. face coverings have been compulsory in scotland's shops since yesterday.

but one expert has cautioned that they are not a panacea. social distancing and good hygiene practices are paramount, and we need to emphasise that. what we don't wa nt to emphasise that. what we don't want is a situation where people think that because they wear a face mask, somehow they can relax. in a move welcomed by swimmers, outdoor pools in england will reopen from today, though only four out of more than 100 will do so. the industry body for swimming wants that a third of lidos will remain closed this year because it is not financially viable for them to open, and it has questioned the lack of notice. we have always said that it takes a minimum of two weeks to bring a pullback into commission once it has been out so long. —— pool back. there is a lot of work to do that, not only bringing your staff off furlough, but to get the temperature up, to get the water microbiology right, and just get although the temp —— covid protections in place.

in response, the government said that while it recognised not every business could reopen on the permitted dates, its approach was guided at all times by medical and scientific advice. as some swimmers ta ke scientific advice. as some swimmers take the plunge again today, it is a sign ofa take the plunge again today, it is a sign of a return to some kind of normality, whatever the government's final decision on facemasks. 0ur political correspondent leila nathoojoins us now. so, i mean, there has been so much talk for so long about face coverings, and what policy the government should have on it. where are we now? well, as you say, this is something that has been bubbling up is something that has been bubbling up periodically throughout the pandemic, but the views on facemasks have changed. if you cast your mind back a few months, there was messaging from ministers saying, look, facemasks might encourage people to be lax on other measures, for example hand washing and social distancing. then there was disputing of the science around how effective they are at actually stopping transmission of the violet

—— virus. remember, wearing a mask is about protecting others from you, rather than you being protected from others. then you had borisjohnson saying during the lockdown that, look, face coverings could be a useful tool when lockdown was lifted to give people confidence to go back out there. and now we are at the point where lockdown in england has been lifted and that is what you are 110w been lifted and that is what you are now hearing from the prime minister, that this could be a way of encouraging people, really, to get back out there. borisjohnson being pictured for the first time wearing a face covering, i mightjust a couple of days ago, the chancellor, rishi sunak, when he was out in a restau ra nt rishi sunak, when he was out in a restaurant in london for a photo shoot. so i think the message now from government is very clear, that given that most sectors of the economy are now reopening, face coverings in enclosed public places could be a useful way of giving people the confidence to get back out there in public and engaging with the wider economy. leila, for the moment, thank you. mps have warned that young people in england risk missing out on the grades they deserve after exams were cancelled

because of the coronavirus. a system of predicted grades is being used instead, but the education committee says it risks inaccuracy and bias against pupils from less affluent groups and ethnic minority backgrounds. dan johnson reports. while some pupils may be back in school, nobody is doing exams this summer. instead, grades will be given by teachers based on expected performance, taking into account mock exam results and coursework. grades have been standardised across england by the regulator. that ensures grades will be roughly in line with previous years, but parliament's educations line with previous years, but pa rliament‘s educations committee wa nts pa rliament‘s educations committee wants the system could be unfair and may discriminate against some pupils, echoing other concerns. we all have underlying ideas about how certain groups will perform, what we expect of them, and it is very difficult for individuals to get away from that kind of thinking. that is an inherent part of any system that relies on people making

an assessment of somebody‘s ability, and we know teachers very often will under project poorer students and think that they will do worse than how they actually end up doing on exams. “— how they actually end up doing on exams. —— underpredict poorer students. the committee chairs said he recognised the enormous effort made to award grades this summer but called for the process to be more transparent. he likens the appeals system to the wild west and said it would fail the well—heeled and sharp elbowed. 0fqual told us it's standardisation progress —— process was designed for students would not be disadvantaged. any who are unhappy with the grade they are awarded can opt to sit a —— and exam in the autumn. lockdown restrictions are being eased in wales from today, as the nation's hospitality, leisure and tourism industries begin to reopen over the next three weeks. holidaymakers can now visit self—contained accommodation with ensuite facilities. here's our wales correspondent tomos morgan reports. in the middle ofjuly, ox which bay on the gallup peninsula

should be packed with barbecues, swimmers, and those just wanting to get some of that famous welsh town. but tourism has been put on hold due to coronavirus. from today, though, the tides are beginning to change. as self—contained accommodation opens across wales. because of its unique location overlooking the sea, the 0xwich bay hotyel is usually fully booked with weddings over the summer months. it has been a big task, we wa nted months. it has been a big task, we wanted to make sure we're hitting everything we need to hit in safety measures for both the staff and customers. with restaurants and gathering still off the menu for now, getting rooms ready for overnight guests will have to do. we're overnight guests will have to do. we' re really overnight guests will have to do. we're really excited, actually. i mean, hospitality is all about customers and we are so excited to be able to welcome people back. it will be really nice to see them, albeit at a bit more of a distance than usual. today marks the start of a phase reopening of a number of different businesses across wales. 0n different businesses across wales. on monday it will be the turn of outdoor hospitality is to reopen, as

well as hair salons for those in much need of action. the following week it will be playgrounds, and after that it will be campsites, museums and cinemas. all just—in—time for the summer holidays to begin. the united states has recorded almost 64,000 new coronavirus cases in the past 2a hours, according tojohns hopkins university. 774 people died. the us state of florida is badly hit. it has reported its second—highest daily rise in coronavirus cases, as disney prepares to reopen its flagship theme park in orlando. 0ur correspondent david willis reports. it is known as the happiest place on earth, and it is reopening later on today in a state where the number of new coronavirus cases is off the charts. footage released by disney shows the health and safety measures that the company plans to adopt at its park in florida, as well as taking people's temperatures,

eve ryo ne taking people's temperatures, everyone will be required to wear a mask. but while visitors and staff can practice social distancing, it is more difficult when it comes to the theme park's characters. hence the theme park's characters. hence the union representing the people who play the part of mickey and minnie say its members won't be taking part in the reopening. since the month began, florida has consistently reported more new daily cases of the coronavirus than any european country reported at the height of their outbreaks. across the state, dozens of hospitals have said their intensive care units are already full. arriving in the sunshine state last night for a fundraising event, president trump continues to insist the virus is under control. he claims the record number of coronavirus cases on an increase in testing. —— blames. but it is not only florida that has seen a sharp rise in infections. in the rest of the country, the temperature is rising, and so to the number of coronavirus cases. arizona is

the new hotspot, not only for america but the rest of the world. when arizona's governor lifted the state's stay at home order, people partied pre— pandemic style. now the state is shutting down again, yet still people that are queueing in long lines for testing and often waiting many days for the results. although disney insists it's themepark will be safe, medical experts say even screaming out loud ona experts say even screaming out loud on a rollercoaster could heighten the spread of the coronavirus. lawyers for ghislaine maxwell, the former girlfriend of the convicted sex offenderjeffrey epstein, have argued she should be released on bail because of the risk of contracting coronavirus in prison. she was arrested on the 2nd ofjuly and is accused of assisting epstein's abuse of minors. her lawyers say she "vigorously" denies the charges. president trump has commuted the prison sentence of his friend and former adviser roger stone. stone was convicted of lying to congress, obstruction and witness

tampering in relation to the investigation into russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. he was due to begin a ito—month jail term. it is 6:11am. kat will have the sport later on and darren will have the weather for us. let's take a look at today's front pages. several of the front pages report that the government might make face coverings compulsory in shops in england. the telegraph has a photo of borisjohnson wearing a bright blue face covering on a visit in his uxbridge constituency yesterday. the paper says it is the first time he has been pictured wearing one in public. the times leads on the same story and says the prime minister is poised to make the change after mounting evidence suggests masks can slow the spread of coronavirus. meanwhile, the guardian says the government is planning what it describes as a "radical and politically risky" reorganisation of

the nhs in england. "cheers" is the headline on the south wales echo, as the paper reports that pubs, cafes and restaurants can reopen indoors in wales from the 3rd of august, if coronavirus cases continue to fall. do you want to talk about the cycling story in the telegraph? well, as we know, so many people are cycling who did not before. getting out the bikes. there has been a shortage reported in the telegraph. yeah, some bicycle shops have been told they might have to wait until november to get new stock as people are looking for alternatives to public transport during the pandemic. loads of stores, a p pa re ntly pandemic. loads of stores, apparently buyers are looking at second—hand models. you are a keen cyclist, charlie. yeah. have you been cycling more during lockdown? yes, i know from talking to my local cycling shop that it is absolutely true, they cannot get a new bicycle

stock to sell. so many people have been buying them and they are just not coming through. click is on later, all about e—bikes. have you ever thought about one of those?” have been on one. it is a brilliant idea. i'm not the oracle on all things cycling, but if you are relu cta nt to things cycling, but if you are reluctant to cycle and i worried about the fitness side of it, a e—bike isa about the fitness side of it, a e—bike is a brilliant solution.” have a friend with an e—bike, and she loves the fact that she doesn't look like one of those really fit lycra clad cyclist, but it does a muso because you still have to put some effort in. it doesn't move you going uphill. and hers does not look like an e—bike. shejust going uphill. and hers does not look like an e—bike. she just goes straight up. everybody just like an e—bike. she just goes straight up. everybodyjust things, how on earth are you doing that?” am quite interested in but this morning. if you are one of those people who may be has got a bike for the first time during the pandemic, it would be but interesting to hear your story this morning. yeah, it really would. get in touch the usual way. anything else? this little story here. french nutritionists have come up with the ideal menu to

stop notice —— motorists nodding off at the wheel. the bit they have worked out, which everybody knows, is that a heavy meal will make you more likely to nod off. like alcohol. i will just more likely to nod off. like alcohol. i willjust go through, hamburger and chips, cheese, chocolate cakes, they are all foods which will increase the chances of a road accident. and the insurance federation, a french organisation, they have come up with the perfect meal. the optimised meal includes a starter, do you want to take notes here? a starter of radishes and cucumber, followed by whitefish and lentils for the main course, and a kiwi... lentils for the main course, and a kiwi. . . who lentils for the main course, and a kiwi... who eats that when they are driving! a kiwi with a chunk of 9096 dark chocolate for desert, all washed down with water. there you 90, washed down with water. there you go, the ideal menu. it sounds very nice, actually. yeah, but not while you are driving. it is not for while you are driving. it is not for while you are driving. it is before. i

think you would struggle with the whitefish and lentils while you are going along. so if that is the meal to have before you are taking a long journey? because the road services... road services? service. what is the word? the motorway, the service station. darren, iforgot the word for the place you stop at when you are on the motorway. it is a bad sign, i need to get back on my bike. aaron, what would you eat to keep you awake while driving? i was told an apple is a good thing to keep you awake, if you've got an early drive, as i did this morning, andi early drive, as i did this morning, and i don't know if that's two. you might have to cut it into chunks, because it might not be practical to hold one if it'sjuicy. i hadn't thought of that. well spotted. glad to help. morning!

good news for cyclists and other people heading out and about. the winds are going to be lighter, and for many parts of the country it will be a dry weekend as well, and some warm spells of sunshine, temperatures rising is that weekend goes on. 0ver sunshine, temperatures rising is that weekend goes on. over the past few days we've had streams of cloud coming in from the atlantic, bringing more than enough rain, due to areas of low pressure. you can see how the cloud pattern has changed, and we are in between two areas of cloud at the moment, and instead of low pressure we've got high pressure. that's going to be settling things down. it brings with it the lighter north—westerly winds we re it the lighter north—westerly winds were england and wales, a westerly breeze for scotland and northern ireland. that will blow in more cloud, but there will still be sunshine and a few showers mainly towards the north—west of scotland. england and wales, a bright and sunny start to many places, some patchy cloud inland, and 16—17 in england. maybe 2120, in the south—east of england. a pleasant

and today is a lot of the cloud melts away. a bit more cloud further north, and for a while, a bit of rain into the northern scottish mainland in the northern isles. that will clear away by the end of night. again it will be chilly. those are the numbers in towns and cities. knock a couple of degrees off if you are in the countryside. high pressure into the second half of the weekend. these weather fronts are trying to push on from the north—west, but it looks like it will be late in the day before we see any rain in northern ireland and western scotland. probably a sunny day across much of wales, the midlands and southern england, and for many the winds will be light, south—westerly, temperatures rising across the board, and a warmer day on sunday. when you've got the sunshine at this time of year, it feels very warm as well. that high pressure will be squeezed a little bit into monday, because the weather fronts bringing the rain in the north—west topple their way down into the uk. we will see

some patchy rain heading down into england and wales. not going to reach the south—east during the day, nor east anglia, and behind it some sunshine and a few showers, for northern ireland and especially into scotland. those temperatures a little lower. for many parts of the country, still warm in the south—east, and with higher pressure for more southern parts of the uk it should stay fine and dry. a little rain perhaps in the north. back to you. now it's time for the film review with anna smith. hello and welcome to the film review with me, anna smith. i'm filling in for mark kermode to review this week's releases. first up, spaceship earth, a fascinating documentary about eight people who locked

down for two years for a science experiment. as i am ready to enter, i take my last breath of this atmosphere in two years. we were pioneers. we were the first biospherians. how can you prepare yourself for a journey into the unknown? the biosphere 2 is a collection of huge geodesic domes built in the arizona desert, home to an entire ecological system, including rainforest and an ocean. we called it biosphere 2 because biosphere1 is the earth. in 1991, the eight biospherians went to live and work there. they reckoned we might all have to relocate to mars one day so they wanted to give it a dry run. under the glare of the press spotlight, the experiment suffered

from controversy when the team added to the oxygen supply and allegedly brought in items from the outside world. i don't want to talk about it. the film—maker matt wolf is just as interested in the positives of the story and in the history of the group behind it. using current—day interviews with the team alongside archive footage, he paints a picture of fiercely intelligent forward—thinking radicals. they formed in san francisco in the 19605 and they practised communal living but they were far from stereotypical hippies. they built a ship themselves so they could travel the world and experience different ways of living, persuading rich philanthropists to fund their projects. the future is here. wolf's documentary doesn't get deeply personal in its line of enquiry, but it certainly gets you thinking about sustainable community living in the threatened world. this topical watch is available on demand now. a lot of people don't know about organised crime in the south because it is not that organised. what's with the cones? i thought the randomness of it might throw off a cop. i guess that is

smart. you might recognise the comic actor clark duke from hot tub time machine or the office, an american workplace. he has now turned director and his first film is a crime thriller called arkansas. are you going to sell us the gun or not? no, i am not. because in your line of work, guns is as likely to get you killed as to protect you. what line of work is that? rangering. based on the novel byjohn brandon, it also stars duke as a drugs runner called swin who is sent to arkansas to play sidekick to a gruff dealer called kyle. liam hemsworth is solid as the pragmatic kyle, while duke has quirky comic charm. in the tradition of directors likejon favreau, duke gives himself a very attractive on—screen girlfriend, played by eden brolin, daughter ofjosh, though she is given a kind

of kooky edge for this. would either of you boys like to call me sir? you can if you want. i won't think is corny. we are going to go to traffic drugs across state lines, sir. the appearance ofjohn malkovich adds gravitas and there is a nice role for vivica a fox, too. though vince vaughan fared less well in a role that demands slightly confusing flashbacks. am i going to die? most likely. the biggest problem with arkansas is its pacing. this long film often feels plodding, and following the novel's episodic structure only drags things out further. it is also very grim. violence is dispensed with a sense of gloomy inevitability, as the pair get in over their heads and try not to cross their mysterious, anonymous boss. but it is still a promising calling card for duke as a screenwriter. his monologues are engaging while clearly influenced by a certain quentin tarantino. say thank you. thank you. you're welcome. it's out on digital onjuly 13.

shall we go, or..? yeah. 0k. now to colombia for litigante, a drama about a lawyer who is trying to juggle a stressful court case with a young son and a dying mother. director franco lolli cast his own mother in the role,

along with his cousin, carolina sanin, in the lead role. both put in authentic performances as a loving but bickering pair, and vladimir duran adds a touch of levity and a glimmer of hope as the love interest. it is a slow burning but well observed character piece. litigante is out on curzon home cinema now. also out on curzon home cinema is in her hands, the story of brilliant young working—class pianist who is discovered playing piano at a train station by the director of the paris conservatoire. it is a neat idea with a strong cast, including kristin scott thomas as a

strict piano teacher. jules benchetrit is charismatic in the lead role, but i found it hard to shake the knowledge that he is an actor who has been trained to play the right notes rather than a truly gifted classical pianist, which is what the whole story hinges on. and the formula of the big contest that happens to clash with important family events feels very familiar indeed. if you want to watch one

formulate musical drama with kristin scott thomas this week, i would actually make it military wives, out on dvd now. keep going, keep going! # looking from a window above. # like a story of love. go on. # can you hear me? # came back only yesterday. # i'm moving further away. # want you near me. # all i needed was the love you gave. # all i needed for another day. # and all i ever knew. # only you.# inspired by a true story, it features scott thomas on imperious form as an officer's wife who clashes with the choir mistress played

by sharon horgan. so... no, go ahead. 0k. thanks very much, lisa. the pair must resolve their differences in order to take the group of wives all the way from the military base to the royal albert hall. with no artistic pretensions, this film from full monty director peter cattaneo is a enjoyably predictable and hits all the right notes with crowd—pleasing scenes of female bonding and sometimes harmonious singing. they sing out of tune, baby cries. finally, a blast from the past. the 1986 comedy ferris bueller‘s day off is out on blu—ray now. the 1961 ferrari, 250 gt california. less then 100 were made. my father spent three years restoring this car. it is his love, it is his passion. it is his fault he didn't lock the garage.

matthew broderick stars as the precocious teen who skives off school for a wild ride around chicago with his girlfriend and his best friend. this blends vicarious thrills with wise guy comedy and farcical episodes. it is hilariously dated in parts, and in other parts plain hilarious. an energetic slice of escapism from high school movie masterjohn hughes. thanks for watching the film review with me, anna smith. stay safe and we will be back next week with more viewing treats. if i was bleeding out of my eyes, you guys would make me go to school. this is so unfair. jeanie, please don't be upset with me, you have your health, be thankful.

hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news.

tougher rules on wearing face coverings could be on the way in england, after the prime minister said a stricter approach may help stop the spread of coronavirus. it's already mandatory to wear a face covering in shops in scotland, and ministers are considering whether to follow suit in england. the government has previously said the scientific evidence around wearing masks in public is "weak." mps have warned that young people in england risk missing out on the grades they deserve, after exams were cancelled because of the coronavirus. a system of predicted grades is being used instead, but the education committee says it risks inaccuracy and bias against pupils from less affluent groups and ethnic minority backgrounds. lawyers for ghislaine maxwell, the former girlfriend of the convicted sex offenderjeffrey epstein, have argued she should be released on bail because of the risk of contracting coronavirus in prison. she was arrested on the 2nd ofjuly and is accused of assisting epstein's abuse of minors.

her lawyers say she "vigorously" denies the charges. ceremonies will take place around the world today to mark the 25th anniversary of the srebrenica massacre. 8,000 bosnian muslim men and boys were murdered in the space of a few days. it was the worst atrocity in europe since the defeat of nazi germany. the time now is just after 6:30am. it is time to talk to kat and talk cricket. good morning, kat. so there was some sun for the cricketers? eventually. it has been a bit of a washout, especially the first day, but it is turning into an intriguing contest. good to see the west indies back and good to see them competitive. but not exactly a great day for england's boulders. —— bowlers. they had a tough old day as the west indies took control of the match. joe wilson was watching. finally, a beautiful day for cricket, if you are playing. stuart

broad had made it clear he was angered to be dropped, and the fast boulders england had picked struggle to break through. —— bowlers. with somejudgement and to break through. —— bowlers. with some judgement and some luck, west indies progressed. the captain had to influence the game. first, ben stokes held a catch to dismiss shay hope. craig brathwaite had made 65 when stokes, the boulder, got him lbw. delighted ? when stokes, the boulder, got him lbw. delighted? well, more relieved. jermaine blackwood has a reputation for whacking the ball into the air too often. he knew what he had done, and so did england. but keep in mind the bigger picture. west indies were leading. shake garage barely made a run last time he toured england his 61 here was full of authority. and for a while, roston chase had england on the run as well, 47 for him. a quick check on the subplot. the rivalry of the all—rounders, the clash of the captains. jason holder found the field.

archer, and stokes have the wicket. his tenacity was familiar when so much still isn't. but england are batting again 99 ru ns but england are batting again 99 runs behind, and saturday demands diligence in the true test much tradition. joe wilson, bbc news. —— test match. it's now or never for norwich city at the bottom of the premier league. they're ten points from safety and need to beat west ham today, otherwise they'll be the first side to be relegated this season. and although it's still mathematically possible for them to stay up, their manager is being realistic. let's be honest, with the last four games, it won't be enough. it doesn't take anything away, but we are highly motivated because we want to finish as strong as possible. but right now we know that it's not more in our hands, and for that, we accept our situation. manchester city will find out on monday if they're going to be allowed to play in the champions league next season.

that's when they find out if their appeal against a two—year ban from european competition has been successful. remember, they were punished for breaching financial fair play rules. this year's champions league will finish with a knockout tournament in lisbon next month. city will play either lyon orjuventus in the quarter finals, if they win the second leg of their last—16 tie against real madrid. the boss of british gymnastics says she's "appalled and ashamed" following allegations of abuse within the sport. jane allen is under pressure after several athletes told the bbc that there is a "culture of fear" within in the sport. 0lympian sisters becky and ellie downie also say that abusive behaviour in gymnastics became "completely normalised". allen says that any mistreatment of gymasts is inexcusible, and an independent review will now be carried out. and the spanish golfer miguel angeljimenez is on course to become the oldest winner of any men's tour event ever. he's 56 years old and is leading

the austrian 0pen by a couple of shots at the halfway point. if he holds on to win it he'll beat the current record that's been in place since 1960 when kel nagle won the australian open, who was six weeks younger than jimenez is. so by my calculations, that gives me about 20 years to get good enough to wina tour about 20 years to get good enough to win a tour event. i can still do it, i've got time. are you just bragging about how young you are, kat? yeah. as long as that's clear. you've only got a decade, naga! she's not talking to me now, is she? no, i'm not. see you later. so, we have been looking at how things are coming back to some kind of normality. it is marrying so much across different sports. absolutely, use or there with the cricket. but now we have the first high—profile event of the british equestrian calendar, taking place today.

lizzie greenwood hughes is at the barbury horse trials. what a beautiful day you have there, lizzie. i'm sure lots of people involved in that sport will be delighted something is happening? they really will be, charlie, because it has been hard. i mean, it has been hard for all of us. but horse sport has been particularly ha rd horse sport has been particularly hard hit, and it is a beautiful day here at barbury. the lorries are arriving and they will be hundreds of horses and riders here today, some of the world's top riders coming here to take part in the sport they love, a sport they have not been able to do in quite some time. some of those sources will not have run since last year. 0bviously they have been continuing to training at home, but they would not have had a competitive run since last year, some would have been lucky and had a run earlier in the season. it has been tough, i have to admit that if i had been asleep for the past few months and you said to me, right, lizzie, where are you? if i had said i was at a horse trailer nothing looked at different, i was ina nothing looked at different, i was in a field on a beautiful day in the lovely countryside with horses,

well, there are lots of differences here to get this back on, to get the sport back on. i am joined by alec lahore, the organiser of the event. you have had to put in lots of measures, haven't you, that came down from the governing body to allow you to get this event on. tell me what you had to do?” allow you to get this event on. tell me what you had to do? i think we have put in place the regular, now accepted standard covid practices. so, ppe, all our volunteers accepted standard covid practices. so, ppe, all ourvolunteers and accepted standard covid practices. so, ppe, all our volunteers and all our support staff have deep —— have ppe. some of the big changes are that the lorries have to be parked quite a large distance apart from each other, so we use a much greater distance. we are minimising the numberof distance. we are minimising the number of people who are on site, so there is only one judge in some instances where they might ordinarily have been to or three. so there is more pressure on the judges. and that isjust to try there is more pressure on the judges. and that is just to try to keep as many people off the site as possible. there is a really lovely story, i don't know how much you the viewers, or you, charlie

story, i don't know how much you the viewers, oryou, charlie and naga, know about dressage. what normally happens is you have to make people ina car, happens is you have to make people in a car, and you have a judgement what is called a writer, they write down everything theyjudge says when the horse comes in, and give them a score. but because they have to be in the same bubble, lots of your judges have had to train up their husbands to be dressage writers.” think there is some therapy required for husbands when covid is over, yes. they have learnt far too much about dressage, more than they wanted to, probably. one of the reasons for sport has been so hard it is that it is really a lifestyle sport. and so the whole industry revolves around hospitality at events, and trade stands. how difficult has it been for you to run this event with no spectators, no trade stands, none of that revenue? tough. it is, you know, an event like this would normally have 60 or 80 trade stands, we would have a large hospitality unit down there that would be full for two or three days. none of that. you just have to cut your cloth. we are running a different sport here today. there is a high level of international

classes that have gone and there is a lower level class being added in. the horses and riders will be going off to the other big games today, after tomorrow, and we would be expecting to have a lot of the riders have their final run before the stock it isjust a different environment stop we have to accept that. it is great to be out, it is a beautiful day like today in wiltshire. we have to be grateful for that. as you are talking of the 0lympics, uid competition director for tokyo, and now hopefully tokyo 2021. -- for tokyo, and now hopefully tokyo 2021. —— you ask the competition director. we are nowjoined by the performance director for the british equestrian federation. you should be in tokyo now. tell me how this lockdown has affected your athletes, not just the lockdown has affected your athletes, notjust the people but the actual horses as well? it is really hard. because like any athlete, once the games are overcommitted start dreaming about the next games in for them. so basically they have had for

years to prepare for their three days on the field of play and you've got to get it right. it is a big challenge. not only that, they have the owners who support them and look after the horses through these times. it is quite hard. i would have to say, in equestrian sports, they are a really robust bunch because of the amount of variables in the sports, so they are really good at dealing with these pressures. for some athletes it is going to be really hard because they are getting older and the horses are getting older, but for others, they might come in left of field and it could actually play to their advantage. and of course the thing is, nobody knows how these measures are going to affect the sport as a whole, do they, alex? we don't know if the events that would normally be on will be on. so we will have to think carefully whether these people will be ready for next year if all the events do not take place, that we will have to wait and see, i guess. yeah, it is having a pathway, thatis guess. yeah, it is having a pathway, that is what is really hard. at the moment, until we are that is what is really hard. at the moment, untilwe are back that is what is really hard. at the moment, until we are back to public events that you are not 100% sure is going to happen, having a pathway is

really important. ok, well, thanks to both of you. that's all we have time for now. enjoy the sunshine. we hope that goes well. we will be back here later hopefully catching up with some of the british potential 0lympic riders. with some of the british potential olympic riders. lizzie, thank you. we have learned loads about the trials. we hope to see you again is good surroundings later on. the us is currently facing record daily numbers of coronvirus infections, and florida is one of the worst hit states. there have been more than 11,400 infections registered there in 26 hours, but the lockdown is continuing to ease. this weekend, disneyworld in orlando is due to reopen. we can speak now to julia manchester, who is a reporter for the hill and is based in orlando. very good morning to you, julia. i mean, there are some very, very grim statistics coming out of florida, as there are in many states in the us. can you give us a sort of snapshot of the situation as it stands today? absolutely. so right now in

the united states, you are seeing a spike in cases in states that tended to reopen earlier, this late spring and early summer. so florida, for example, texas, arizona, california, are all seeing a record spike in cases after reopening a lot earlier than other states that were previous hotspots, such as new york. however, you are seeing that at least in florida, governor ron desantis is still pushing ahead with reopening, but doing so more cautiously, urging floridians to wear masks, though not issuing a major mandate. we are seeing a record number of hospitalisations here in florida as well. a couple of weeks ago we were seeing a rise in cases but we had not seen more hospitalisations. right now we are at about 7000 people in hospital, so a very grim scenario, unfolding in florida. however, it seems like there is some return to normalcy, at least. like you said, disney world is reopening, and president trump visited the hotspot of florida, miami dade

county, yesterday. how comfortable are people there with the notion, you described it very well, you have the spike there and a record number of cases, and yet you have major tourist attractions, which will presumably attract people from all over the cake —— the place opening 7 over the cake —— the place opening up? honestly, being here over the last couple of months and living at home with my parents and being able to go out into public places from time to time, i have seen a lot of people tending not to wear masks and tending not to socially distance. i have to say that that that is not to say that a majority of people are doing that, however there is a good amount of people who are doing that. pa rt amount of people who are doing that. part of the reason why is that we haven't seen a statewide mandate really to do so. so in texas, for example, governor greg abbott issued a statewide mandate to wear a mask and you started seeing this more uniform crackdown on these coronavirus restrictions. however, here in florida, it has been a much

more global approach. governor ron desantis hasn't more global approach. governor ron desa ntis hasn't been more global approach. governor ron desantis hasn't been informing a statewide approach to this. he has allowed the counties and individual cities to make their own judgements on how to go forward. the only issue with that, i think critics would say, is that people travel back and forth and last week was independence day weekend here in the united states, and what you saw was beaches closing in south florida, in the miami area. well, if beaches are closed down there, we actually saw a number of people coming up to central florida and northern florida to go to the beach. so that definitely, i think, to go to the beach. so that definitely, ithink, plays to go to the beach. so that definitely, i think, plays a to go to the beach. so that definitely, ithink, plays a role down the line in spreading the virus. julia, really interesting hearing from you this morning. that isjulia hearing from you this morning. that is julia manchester, hearing from you this morning. that isjulia manchester, a political correspondent for the hill. speaking to us from orlando, just giving a snapshot of the situation in florida. interesting given the story today that we have about face coverings, about how it is being approached there. so people are not being told they have to do, and some people are choosing to or not. and

they have been suggestions that borisjohnson is they have been suggestions that boris johnson is considering they have been suggestions that borisjohnson is considering making it mandatory for those in england to wear face coverings in shops, it mandatory for those in england to wearface coverings in shops, as is already the case in scotland. we will get more that through the programme. here is darren with the weather. it has been a bit rainy and blustery over the last week. but i am hoping that it is going to come down a little over the next few days? it's looking much, much better. i think over the past couple of weeks, it's not felt much like summer, but this weekend the weather is improving. for a start, most places are going to remain dry right through the weekend, and it's going to get a bit warmer as well. the past few days, we've seen areas of cloud streaming into the uk with the low pressure bringing more than enough rain for much of the country. things are changing at the moment. we are in between the two areas of cloud, pressure is tilting tending

to build across the uk this weekend. eventually it will arrive by the end of sunday, but this morning, many places starting dry and sunny. a few showers for scotland and northern ireland. the possibility of one or two for north—west england. but those are few and far between, and while we will see some cloud bubbling up there will be some good spells of sunshine. the winds will be lighter as well, 16, 17 degrees in scotland and northern ireland, 20 or 21 in scotland and northern ireland, 20 or21 in the in scotland and northern ireland, 20 or 21 in the midlands and the south—east of england. a pleasant and to the day is a lot about cloud in and wales melts away. rain for a while in the far north of scotland. that should be gone by sunday morning. these are the temperatures, but in rural areas we can knock a couple of degrees off, and it will bea couple of degrees off, and it will be a chilly start again. high pressure a cross be a chilly start again. high pressure across much of the uk. these weather fronts will thicken the cloud later in the day across northern ireland and western scotland, where we will get a bit of rain by the evening, but ahead of

that a lot of dry weather. patchy cloud for the northern half of the uk in particular, but largely sunny through the midlands, wales and into southern england. the winds turning more south—westerly, pushing a bit more south—westerly, pushing a bit more warmth into the uk, so temperatures will be rising a few degrees everywhere, 23 or 26 in the south—east. we have that weather fronts arriving into the north—west, and that will bring rain to scotland and that will bring rain to scotland and northern ireland on sunday night. that weather front moved its way southwards on monday, but is very weak, and this is the main weather front — a bit of cloud and patchy rain coming in. that will not reach the south—east. to the north of that, some sunshine and showers, particularly in scotland, and temperatures peaking at 2a in the south—east. thanks very much. it does look much improved — see you later. now it's time for click with spencer kelly and lara lewington.

theme music. welcome to click. i hope you're doing 0k. last week lara ventured into her garden. this week we've both been let loose into the outside world. how was it for you? it's great. i've been on an electric bike, and managed to not fall off, unlike the last time. i have to say, i really enjoyed filming outside again. anyway, as we start to move toward some sense of normality, one of the things that was delayed during lockdown was nonemergency surgery. during lockdown was nonemergency surgery. in england they had to

free up surgery. in england they had to free up beds for covid—19 patients, and that meant the delay of surgery. that means people waiting for things like joint that means people waiting for things likejoint replacements that means people waiting for things like joint replacements have that means people waiting for things likejoint replacements have been left in pain and the nhs has been left in pain and the nhs has been left with a huge backlog of surgeries which could reach 10 million by christmas. so how is that going to happen, and what can people do while they are waiting? trying to be the fittest old—age pensioner in the country. 80—year—old brian lewis has been waiting for a hip replacement in his home near manchester since the lockdown began. like millions of others, brian was on the list for elective surgery before coronavirus, but, since march, everything is on hold. he could cope with the pain for a few months and has been doing zoom calls with his physiotherapist, but now is finding it very difficult.

it has completely from here to there, the pain used to be in the hip and now it is the whole leg, i have these muscles in my leg that can move, i have always been a very fit guy, like, you know, but... this excruciating pain. i have reached the stage now where the deterioration has been so great, and the last three weeks i have been put onto a stick. doctors around the country are looking at ways they can remotely assist the thousands of patients that are waiting forjoint surgeries. this includes the creation of new apps and tools that can monitor them in new and detailed ways. welcome to our lab. fantastic. whoever you are, wherever you are. this free app provides free access to some of the orthopaedic therapies a patient could expect to have in person. downloading this app is a great way to make recovery from your surgery. it's part of a service called my recovery that allows surgeons to monitor their patients at home. the coronavirus pandemic has accelerated the team's work to design more advanced ways to generate useful patient data for doctors. these are infrared cameras,

and they are all tracking, triangulating off of these dots. so these are typically used in the computer game industry or the film industry. using datasets from analysis labs around the world, they are training algorithms on millions of data points to create a new camera system that could one day be used with a simple smartphone camera connected to the internet. this would recreate the sophistication of a fully fledged gait analysis lab in anyone's pocket, enabling a surgeon to have the ability to confidently assess a range of motion in the patient‘s knee post surgery without anyone having to leave home. because of the vast amounts of training the algorithm has gone through, it can accurately identify the anatomy and range of movement to a degree similar to wearing a morph suit in an expensive gait lab. we are particularly interested in human motion capture, so we've taken lots of inspiration from the gaming world. what we're doing is a very accurate version of this using artificial intelligence to accurately

measurejoint function. so, for a surgeon, can this technology, through a smartphone camera, tell a surgeon if that patient‘s leg is straight after surgery? one of the hospitals advocating the use of these tools is in wrightington. birthplace of the modern hip replacement, the team here want to see more daycare surgeries to shorten the time people spend in hospital and help clear the backlog. there is an app in development, a specific version of the my recovery app, to support the day case patients. you can bottle information that may get a lot of information just by talking but in some cases you have to have a lot of examination, some system to be able to measure the range of movement of a joint accurately, which would be of benefit. artificial intelligence could be used in other ways to clear the backlog of cases. c2 ai, an approved user of the nhs dataset, is aiming to prioritise patients based on their operative risk and physiology in order to rank them in order of priority.

they have identified 16 key variables that correlate the risk of mortality and will be able to look at the whole country's surgical backlog at once. if you had a patient, would some people feel neglected if a! is doing this? i think people would want to know there is a logic to it, and if they are waiting behind people it is because they have a greater need. rather than being done in an inefficient manner, it is being done with a reason. there are large numbers of people on the list, with comorbidities, for example, which might mean they are at higher risk. artificial intelligence could be used to scan that data and come up with a list of patients that fit a certain category, a certain priority, rather than, you know, clerks having to go through that, or, indeed, clinicians having to go through all that data to try and prioritise patients. i think the algorithm could be more sensitive and useful than somebody, because they will do the pain thing, you know, one to ten, the old—fashioned thing. whereas the algorithm can take

so many other things into account that a human being can't take into account. brian and millions of other patients who signed up to elective surgery still have many months to wait, but using patient data and powerful computing systems can help the process and get them in and out of hospital faster. here in the uk, things are opening up. but we are still being told to only get public transport when it is essential. and that has led to a surge in sales of e—bikes. the leap has been unprecedented. in may, as an example, we sold more bikes than we did in the entire year in 2018. a decent e—bike can easily cost well over £1000. and there are hundreds of brands to choose from. but the vast majority of them run on tech from just one manufacturer. the number of bosch—powered electric

bikes in the uk would be somewhere between 60 and 80%. but the difference between e—bikes is how they are powered. some have hub drive motors which track your pedal rotations and power the bike's wheels. today, though, i am using an even smarter crank drive bike. this uses a torque sensor to respond to how hard i press the pedals, i've got my high—vis, i've got my hat and i have my bike — let's go. wow — i can feel the power. this suddenly feels so light, i can't believe i am going uphill. hitting 15.5 miles per hour — that is the legal speed limit for e—bikes in the uk — was pretty effortless, too. some countries do have higher speed limits for pedal assist bikes, but if you've seen cyclists putting in zero legwork at all, they are likely to be using a throttle system.

these are less common and in most eu countries you need special registration and insurance to ride them legally. i was excited about the fact that this could go faster but i didn't think i would have the confidence to do it. actually, once i got going, the weight of it made me feel so much more confident. why do they have to be speed limited? but all this comes a pricetag. £4706 — pretty shocking really. spencer has been looking at a far cheaper solution. you might like the idea of a e—bike, but you may only have a perfectly nice bike already. the good news is you can retrofit your bike to make it electric using a conversion kit like this. switch is a new front wheel with a 250—watt motor in the middle. it also comes with a powerpack and a pedal sensor. this isn't cheap, but it is cheaper than an e—bike, and the price you pay is also your time, which will be dependent on how

confident you are at taking off wheels, tires and brake discs. if you think you are going to get stuck then you can pre—book a support video call. obviously i only called them to generate the service, obviously i only called them to demonstrate the service, and not because i am a completely clueless dingbat. switch say they will make these kids to fit any size of bike, that basically you discuss with them what you need and they will build the wheel to order. and there is a special adaptor for a folding bike like this one. it is a bit fiddly, but to be honest i did find it perfectly manageable, and that is saying something, because it is me. a tyre and a new wheel. top e—bikes use a crank driven system. this is a hub driven system. this magnetic sensor monitors how fast the pedals go around, and then it takes that into account along with things like acceleration to try and work out how much power to deliver.

it is not quite as seamless an experience but is a lot cheaper and a lot lighter. but you do have to accept that they will be some extra cables on your frame after this, and a powerpack attached to the handlebars. assuming that won't upset your chi or your aerodynamics too much, you switch it on, select your power assist level and you are ready to go. first pleasant surprise — it wasn't a complete disaster. being a total novice, i did expect it to be harder than it was. secondly, it is outrageously fast. i can't actually have it on the highest setting, not on the flats — it is just too fast. i hardly touch the pedals and i am away. the only thing is that the power assistance doesn't always behave itself. sometimes cutting out when i need it, and sometimes kicking in when i am not even pedalling. switch say the problem

is most likely the pedals sensor not being perfectly aligned, and in fact a new design of sensor is going to be available in a few weeks. if you do want to return your bike to a normal non—electric, you can take the powerpack off, which will leave it only about one kilogram heavier than it was before. although i think that is enough exercise for one lockdown, don't you? wheee! that's it for the short version this week. the full version is brilliant and waiting for you on iplayer right now. you can find us at: thanks for watching, and we will see you soon. bye bye.

hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. face coverings could become mandatory in shops in england as the prime minister says the balance of scientific opinion has shifted. disadvantaged gcse and a—level stu d e nts disadvantaged gcse and a—level students in england may miss out the results they deserve after exams we re results they deserve after exams were cancelled. wales sees the further easing of lockdown restrictions today with the reopening of some tourist accommodation. and if you are planning to get out and about this weekend, i've got good news for you. because it looks generally dry for us because it looks generally dry for us this weekend. they will be some spells of sunshine and it should be getting a bit warmer as well. good morning. it is saturday, july 11. our good morning. it is saturday, july 11. 0urtop good morning. it is saturday, july 11. our top story today. tougher

rules on wearing face coverings could be on the way in england after the prime minister said a strict approach may help stop the spread of coronavirus. it is already mandatory to wear a face covering in shops in scotland. ministers are considering whether to follow suit in england. the government has previously said the scientific evidence around wearing masks in public is weak. john mcmanus has more. could this be the face of yourfuture shopping trip in england? well, it's unlikely that you'll bump into the prime minister when you pick up your groceries, but boris johnson's government is considering whether to make the wearing of face coverings mandatory in shops. at an event on friday filmed at downing street, the prime minister dropped a very large hint. we're looking at ways of making sure that people really do observe, really do have face coverings in shops. the balance of scientific opinion seems to have shifted in favour of,

more in favour of them than it was, and we're very keen to follow that. face coverings have been compulsory in scotland's shops since yesterday. but one expert has cautioned that they are not a panacea. social distancing and good hygiene practices are paramount, and we need to emphasise that. what we don't want is a situation where people think that because they wear a face mask, somehow they can relax. in a move welcomed by swimmers, outdoor pools in england will reopen from today, though only 4 out of more than 100 will do so. the industry body, swim england, has warned that a third of lidos will remain closed this year because it's not financially viable for them to open, and it has questioned the lack of notice. we've always said that it takes a minimum of two weeks to bring a pool back into commission once it's been out for so long. there's a lot of work to do to do that, not only bringing your staff off furlough for a kick—off, but also to get the pool temperature up, to get the water microbiology right, to get the dosing right, and just to get all the

covid protections in place. in response, the government said that while it recognised not every business could reopen on the permitted dates, its approach was guided at all times by medical and scientific advice. as some swimmers take the plunge again today, it's a sign of a return to some kind of normality, whatever the government's final decision on face masks. john mcmanus, bbc news. well, we can talk to our political correspondent, leila nathoo, who joins us now. good morning, layla. clarity on policy, that is what we have been asking for four weeks and weeks and weeks, and every time something new comes through, that is the demand? yeah, and that is exactly what labour are calling for this morning, clarity on the guidance surrounding face masks. because this has been an evolving picture, if you think back through the previous months and the early days of the pandemic, the message from government was, look, face masks might actually deter you

from abiding by social distancing measures, washing your hands, all of those things that were crucially important to slow the spread of the virus, and that was the message from government, but the science was actually inconclusive about how effective wearing face masks is in slowing the transmission of the virus. remember, it protects other people from you, rather than protecting you from other people. we heard a measure from —— message from borisjohnson but during the lockdown wearing a face covering could be a useful tool in giving people the confidence to go back out there, and that is what i think has actually shifted, but now seeing sectors of the economy reopening and it is about giving people confidence to get back out there, and that is why you are seeing pictures of boris johnson wearing a face mask for the first time in a way that ministers, only days ago, were not wearing face masks in enclosed spaces. of course it is mandatory in public transport. but we do expected to be made mandatory for shops in england, as it is in scotland, because the government now wants to be confident enough to get out there, back in

public, and re—engage with the economy in a meaningful way. public, and re—engage with the economy in a meaningfulway. indeed. layla, thank you. lockdown restrictions are being eased in wales from today, as the nation's hospitality, leisure and tourism industries begin to reopen over the next three weeks. holidaymakers can now visit self—contained accommodation with ensuite facilities. here's our wales correspondent, tomos morgan. in the middle ofjuly, 0xwich bay on the gower peninsula should be packed with barbecues, swimmers, and those just wanting to get some of that famous welsh tan. but tourism has been put on hold due to coronavirus. from today, though, the tides are beginning to change, as self—contained accommodation opens across wales. because of its unique location overlooking the sea, the 0xwich bay hotel is usually fully booked with weddings over the summer months. it has been a big task, i think we wanted to be sure we're hitting everything we needed to hit in safety measures,

both for staff and customers. with restaurants and gatherings still off the menu for now, getting rooms ready for overnight guests will have to do. we're really excited, actually. i mean, hospitality is all about customers, so we're so excited to be able to welcome people back. it will be really nice to see them, albeit at a little bit more of a distance than usual. today marks the start of a phased reopening of a number of different businesses across wales. united states has recorded on the 64,000 new coronavirus cases in the past 24 hours, according tojohns hopkins university. as disney prepares to reopen its flagship themepark in orlando, the state of florida reported its second highest daily rising cases. he was in

north america correspondence david willis. it's known as ‘the happiest place on earth,‘ and it's reopening later today in a state where the number of new coronavirus cases is off the charts. footage released by disney shows the health and safety measures that the company plans to adopt at its park in florida. as well as taking people's temperatures, everyone will be required to wear a mask. but while visitors and staff can practice social distancing, it's more difficult when it comes to the theme park's characters. hence the union representing the people who play the part of mickey and minnie say its members won't be taking part in the reopening. since the month began, florida has consistently reported more new daily cases of the coronavirus than any european country reported at the height of their outbreaks. across the state, dozens of hospitals have said their intensive care units are already full. arriving in the sunshine state last

night for a fundraising event, president trump continues to insist the virus is under control. he blames the record number of coronavirus cases on an increase in testing. but it's not only florida that has seen a sharp rise in infections. in the rest of the country, the temperature is rising, and so too the number of coronavirus cases. arizona is the new hotspot, not only for america but the rest of the world. when arizona's governor lifted the state's stay at home order, people partied pre—pandemic style. now the state is shutting down again, yet still people there are queueing in long lines for testing and often waiting many days for the results. although disney insists its theme park will be safe, medical experts say even screaming out loud on a rollercoaster could heighten the spread of the coronavirus. david willis, bbc news. lawyers for ghislaine maxwell, the former girlfriend of the convicted sex offenderjeffrey epstein, have argued she should be released on bail because of the risk

of contracting coronavirus in prison. she was arrested on the 2nd ofjuly and is accused of assisting epstein's abuse of minors. her lawyers say she vigorously denies the charges. president trump has commuted the prison sentence of his friend and former adviser roger stone. stone was convicted of lying to congress, obstruction and witness tampering in relation to the investigation into russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. he was due to begin a 40 month jail term. the time now is exactly 7:10am. we will have the sport and the weekend can weather coming up for you a little later on. the coronavirus outbreak has affected every aspect of our lives, but it has been particularly hard for people who are already being treated for cancer. earlier this week the bbc‘s panorama featured kelly smith, whose treatment for bowel cancer was paused due to the pandemic. she sadly died injune. now, herfamily are launching a campaign urging the government to get treatment back on track. let's remind

ourselves of her story. it is in my long. it is in my liver. it is in my long. it is in my liver. it is in my long. it is in my liver. it is in my brain. it is in my nodes. up and around my body. um... so, yeah. chemotherapy, we will see what it does. when we met, kelly was just 28, and mum to little finn. at lockdown, her treatment was put on hold. and today she's joining lockdown, her treatment was put on hold. and today she'sjoining us lockdown, her treatment was put on hold. and today she's joining us on the pod to tell us what has happened since. higher, kel. are you well? i got a text message from you in the end of march, can i read it to you? go on! i don't want to make you cry, though. my chemo has been paused

for 12 weeks and i'm fuming about it. it happens all the time, i get amazing results and then get knocked back again. it has happened three times now. kelly has been told her condition has reached the point where nothing more can be done for her. since lockdown, the cancer has just progressed too far. so, let's talk about this with kelly's stepfather, craig russell, and by deborah james, panorama reporter and post of the you, me and the big c podcast. very good morning to both of you. craig, if we could start with you. i just want to first of all... i mean, we we re just want to first of all... i mean, we were watching those images, and many people will have seen that panorama programme in which kelly featured. your family has panorama programme in which kelly featured. yourfamily has been through such an ordeal. how are you, how is her son now, and what other circumstances? because people will be curious as to what has happened since. well, good

morning. things are still very raw at the moment, as you can probably imagine. evenjust listening to kelly on that clip, it is quite an emotional thing to hear. but as a family, we are all supporting each other, and supporting each other, and supporting finn. he is doing very well. he is back at school now and going through a period of adjustment, like we all are, without kelly in our lives. i know it is very important, often people in your circumstances feel like there is something you want to do, something that may be can help you to some degree cope with the grief you are feeling, and you want to talk more, basically, about some of the problems he faced? yeah, i mean, i think as the anaerobic —— panorama programme highlighted all too well, there are people first of all dying because of the breaks in treatment

due to covid stop but i think despite our own personal experience of that aspect, there is also a potential timebomb for people who have not been to see a gp or have had their start of treatment is delayed due to covid, so we are looking potentially at anything up to 35,000 additional people who will die with cancer due to covid. so our aim now is to try to do something about that, to prevent these people from losing their lives. craig, good morning to you, and thank you for joining us. nhs england says it is working really hard to restore services, and we have heard from health secretary matt hancock in re ce nt health secretary matt hancock in recent weeks saying that hospitals are getting back to the regular treatments, the more normal treatments, the more normal treatments that they can do since the capacity for coronavirus patients has diminished. are you

seeing this, i see that you are biting your lips, tell me your instant reaction to that?” biting your lips, tell me your instant reaction to that? i mean, at no point in my going to criticise the nhs. i think they do amazing work under very difficult circumstances. the issue i have with thatis circumstances. the issue i have with that is to say capacity will be restored to normal within a month, three months, six months, i think we're talking about the end of the year when everything will be back to full capacity. that sounds fine, but, and i am sure deborah will share the same thoughts, for a cancer patient the critical point could be days. six months is too long. kelly was misdiagnosed for six months and by the time she was given her prognosis, it was effectively already terminal. there was no cure, and the treatment. so it is imperative that everything is done with the utmost

urgency to ring this timing forward as far as humanly possible. —— deborah has been listening. i can see you nodding to what craig is saying. you've been on this programme urging people to see their gp now if they have any signs of anything troubling their bodies. but you in this programme have looked at the length of time involved between diagnosis and treatment. what are your observations now?” diagnosis and treatment. what are your observations now? i think what craig is saying is absolutely spot on. it was heartbreaking making the programme, but the response to it has been incredible. but what i've recognised is actually that it's not just delays or bottlenecks. it is at every point of the cancer pathway. we know is a fact that there are

people sitting there may be even watching this who have undiagnosed cancers but have not send them in the system. we know that because two week wait referrals in england are down. they've dropped 75% in april. we know in me the figures that came out only on thursday had said it has bounced back a little bit, but we are still down by nearly 50%. so we know that there are undiagnosed cancers that are going to come back into the system. we know that actually diagnostics — at the next level, diagnostics are at a reduced pathway. we know that at every point of the pathway people are being squeezed, and as a result it is the difference between life and death. i've heard from so many people who unfortunately are seeing the direct

impact of that. ijust want to reiterate what craig said — not for one second are reiterate what craig said — not for one second are we not reiterate what craig said — not for one second are we not acknowledging what people are doing on the frontline in terms of they really are between a rock and a hard place. but we really need to get the system back up and running to enable them to do the best that they can, because we don't want to be the collateral. we don't want collateral patients to be the collateral of covid. craig, for you and your family, this is appropriate for you as well. so many people have been full of praise for you about being so open with your story and living it alongside other people so they can see what the reality of having a diagnosis and where you are now is. i know that in your reporting you've met a lot of other very brave people who are prepared to do that. do you think your story, other people's stories, kelly's story now are having an impact? because we are

talking and addressing things, maybe, better. i hope so. ithink that's why i started sharing my story three years ago actually on bbc breakfast with yourself, charlie. ijust bbc breakfast with yourself, charlie. i just wanted bbc breakfast with yourself, charlie. ijust wanted to share my story, because i think if it can happen to me it can happen to anyone, and we have to remember that one in two of us will get cancer in our lifetime. we also have to remember that around 180,000 people will die every year from cancer in the uk and possibly because of covid we are talking about an additional 35,000 deaths on top of that. and as well as that there are hundreds of thousands of people living, like me, with cancer. i really hope that we are lifting the bell on what living with cancer looks like — that you can live

in report on something like panorama like myself. it doesn't come without heartbreak, but we have to acknowledge what that looks like. if you are someone in that position, i love hearing from you — i think everyone in the cancer community does. the more people that want to share their story and come forward, the more we can acknowledge what living with cancer looks like. absolutely, deborah. can ijust ask craig — we are nearly done for time with this conversation, but we will talk about this again for sure. can ijust ask you talk about this again for sure. can i just ask you finally, craig? we just saw a little glimpse of kelly when we lead into you, and you were able to see that too. what can you tell us about her? you so often get to see a little glimpse of people, and this is something someone you obviously loved and you knew so well. kelly was a bright light. she

was beautiful inside and out. she had such passion and determination for everything that she did, especially for finn and the family, and she wanted to help people, which is really one of the reasons that we felt so inspired to try and carry on with her work in what we have just set up. it's a campaign called catch up set up. it's a campaign called catch up with cancer. i know she would be very pleased we are following on with this work. the objective of this petition is to try and apply some more pressure on the government to try and do everything humanly possible to expedite treatment and get the services for cancer patients up get the services for cancer patients up and running as soon humanly possible. so we have teamed up with the radiotherapy for life campaign

to do this. anybody out there who has cancer or nobody is —— or knows someone has cancer or nobody is —— or knows someone with cancer, i would encourage them to login and sign the petition. thank you for talking to us. petition. thank you for talking to us. i looked at the pictures of cali. she looks like she was a real laugh. oh, she was. really mischievous and funny — just funny. the lasting impression on a lot of the people she had contact with on instagram was the famous dancing around, wearing marigold gloves, dancing to house music while doing the housework. that's the kind of character she was. she was irrepressible in that respect. thank you for sharing kelly with us, and good luck. deborah, as usual, thank you. that panorama is certainly going to resonate with many people.

panorama: britain's cancer crisis is available on the bbc iplayer. here's darren with a look at this morning's weather. good morning, darren. it looks like it's going to be a bit more fair weather, i think, it's going to be a bit more fair weather, ithink, on it's going to be a bit more fair weather, i think, on the way for many of good morning. we've had a few days of cool and wet weather, but this week it's all change. it will be dry with sunshine around, and it should be getting warmer as well. eventually we will have a weather front approaching the north—west by the end of the weekend, but high pressure is in charge, keeping it dry and sunny for the remainder of the first test in southampton. for many parts, a sunny start. some showers into the north—west of england for a while, but a bit more cloud blowing into northern ireland and scotland, and this is where we will see the bulk of the showers. a good amount of sunshine in the afternoon, a bit of patchy cloud bubbling up. 16 or 17 degrees, a

little warmer further south, 20 bubbling up. 16 or 17 degrees, a little warmerfurther south, 20 or 21 this afternoon. as the cloud fades away later in the day, a lovely end to the day for england and wales. a bit more cloud overnight for scotland and northern ireland. in the far north of scotla nd ireland. in the far north of scotland and northern ireland, some patchy rain, but that should have gone by the end of the night. these are the temperatures in towns and cities. in rural areas, a little cooler than that. tomorrow, without high—pressure, a lot more sunshine across england and wales, particularly in the south. some patchy cloud coming into northern ireland and northern england. this rain are —— arriving later, peaking at 23 or 24 in the south—east of england. back to you. thanks very much. we will see you later. pupils could miss out on the grades they deserve this summer because the system to replace exams risks inaccuracy, according to a group of mps. a report from the education select committee

warns that the current system of calculated grades could disadvantage black and minority ethnic pupils, those from low income backgrounds or children with special educational needs. we're joined now by the chair of the committee, robert halfon. a very good morning to you. at the heart of this, the principal has to be— heart of this, the principal has to be — the system has to be fair. that's all anyone wants a system thatis that's all anyone wants a system that is fair to everyone. what have you seen that is fair to everyone. what have you seen that suggests to you that it will not be fair to those groups? the first thing is we should recognise there is no silver bullet to all this, and the department of education and the regulator have worked very hard. there is no perfect system during this pandemic. however, there are flaws with what has been proposed, and what we want isafair has been proposed, and what we want is a fair system and a level playing field. we are very worried about what called unconscious bias. that means disadvantaged groups,

particularly children with special educational needs, low—income pupils, bame pupils are often worried in their grades, and the model does not reflect that. worried in their grades, and the model does not reflect thatm worried in their grades, and the model does not reflect that. if i could ask you to hold just one second. the unconscious bias that you talked about, the concern that people from those groups could be under predicted in their grades — why? for example, all the evidence we receive from universities and academics to other committee says that there is always under prediction. for example, research on university students by university couege university students by university college london has suggested that 16% - college london has suggested that 16% — just college london has suggested that 16% - just 16% - college london has suggested that 16% — just 16% — of applicants received grades that were predicted, and other research by the sutton trust suggests 1000 high

achieving disadvantaged students had their grades under predicted per year. it's difficult to know exactly why that happens, but we just know that it does happen. so what 0fqual need to do is firstly be transparent about their model, but also the model, the standardisation model, should reflect that unconscious bias and make sure it's fair to those groups. it has to be transparent, but given what ijust groups. it has to be transparent, but given what i just said groups. it has to be transparent, but given what ijust said we also need a rolls—royce appeal system. at the moment the appeal system seems to be designed for the well healed and the sharp elbowed. you almost have to be baroness hale from the supreme court to navigate it because you can only appeal if you believe that there has been bias or discrimination. how on earth is a student supposed to know that unless theirfamilies know student supposed to know that unless their families know how to navigate their families know how to navigate the system? so we want a proper

helpline, not just a the system? so we want a proper helpline, notjust a press one, press two, computer says no helpline, but a serious one that guides students step—by—step through the appeal system. we are also suggesting — and this is very important, because a lot of students will have opted for autumn exams — that there is a teaching guarantee. as yet we have no idea how these pupils are going to be taught over the summer, looked after, get the educational advice they need to ensure they have a fair chance of doing well in those exams. we've asked the government to extend the catch—up premium to post 16. wejust advanced £1 billion for schools, but it doesn't apply to post 16 students... this is so interesting, such an important time for young people in and amongst what is a pretty confusing picture in terms of how their education has been affected. can i get you to go back one step for me, if

you wouldn't mind? you were talking about unconscious bias and how people from disadvantaged backgrounds are routinely under predicted in their grades. i think what you said was, we don't know why that happens stop but help me with a scenario. you have a teacher who knows their student, who is the person that's responsible for predicting their grades, say, at a level, the argument‘s sake, now. how is it that that unconscious bias comes to play, that unconscious bias comes to play, that the predicted grades are wrong for some people, or unfair, that the predicted grades are wrong forsome people, or unfair, but that the predicted grades are wrong for some people, or unfair, but not for some people, or unfair, but not for others? you must have tried to think that through. teachers work incredibly hard, and as i say, it's unconscious bias. it is very difficult to understand why this occurs, but we know that it does occur. there can be many scientific studies as to why this occurs, but we know it occurs

because survey after survey shows this, and i gave you evidence to prove that there is often unpredicted —— under predicted grades for those students. 0urjob is to ensure that 0fqual make sure there's a level playing field, that it's model for grades reflects that under prediction, and there is a proper appeal system that everyone can navigate rather than just those who, as i say, are well healed or sharp elbowed and know how to navigate a very complex system. thank you for your time this morning. robert is the chairman of the kutner commons education select committee, talking about the prediction of grades, going across all the exam categories at the moment, because of course they have been affected by coronavirus. it's one of the highlights of the british equestrian calendar. today the barbury horse

trials get underway behind closed doors. however there are some is very beautiful views for us. lizzie greenwood—hughes is there for us this morning. morning, lizzie. isn't it stunning here, just south of swindon? normally this place would be heaving with thousands of people getting ready to watch the sport restart in half—an—hour's time, enjoying the hospitality, which is a big thing in the sport of eventing, but they can't. 0ne which is a big thing in the sport of eventing, but they can't. one of the measures the organisers have had to put in place for the sport to get back after months of cancellations and lockdowns. but the sport itself is essentially the same. they are running lots of classes over the next couple of days across all levels, and that's the beauty of eventing, that the horses at the top have had to progress through the levels to get to the top. what that means is that riders that my not so good level could find themselves riding against people like

this. this is tom mcewen, part of britain's world championship medal winning team a couple of years ago. you would have been in tokyo, all being well. how do you feel about the fact you are not there and you are missing out on what could have been your first 0lympic are missing out on what could have been your first olympic games? like many spots that have been going on, obviously we have lost a lot of the competitions. for me, yes, it would have been tokyo, matt 0'sullivan games, which would have been so special. —— my first 0lympic games. but like every 0lympic hopeful we move onto next year. still hopeful and positive for what can come. what has it been like for you as a professional writer with this months of lockdown, how have you managed? we have been so fortu nate to you managed? we have been so fortunate to have their horses. we we re fortunate to have their horses. we were lucky enough to be based on site so we didn't have to move. we have the open hour, the horses still need exercising even though we have beenin need exercising even though we have been in lockdown. i have had the most amazing support from sponsors and especially my owners, who keep my business going. really, the last couple of months we have just been

preparing for this new look eventing during these times. we don't know, due to economic viability, how many events will happen this year, or events will happen this year, or even next year, if social distancing measures continue. what do you need asa measures continue. what do you need as a rider to happen, to know that you will be ready to go to tokyo in 2021, should it happen? of course, because these events really rely on spectators coming in, which obviously can't happen. it relies on the shopping and entertainment going on behind you, as you can see. for us, you know, we have burghum in a month's us, you know, we have burghum in a months time upper northumbria, an event to prepare for. most of the sources know what they are doing is as writers we just need a bit of practice to get into gear into the swing of things. 0bviously, of course, there is the people, but we are getting quite used to competing without spectators around.” are getting quite used to competing without spectators around. i hope you go well today, tom. thank you for joining you go well today, tom. thank you forjoining us. i am hoping you go well today, tom. thank you forjoining us. iam hoping in you go well today, tom. thank you forjoining us. i am hoping in the next hour to be speaking to sara

tindall, the queen's granddaughter, who has been to the other big games, a former european and world champion. she is here with a few horses among writers like tom mcewen and plenty of other world beaters, so and plenty of other world beaters, so hopefully she willjoin me later. lizzie, you get gorgeous weather, top—class performance athletes, and you get royalty. i mean, that is a good day for you. enjoy it. we will see you later. that is eventing, naga! this week marks the 80th anniversary of the start of the battle of britain, when the raf defended the country against bombing raids from nazi germany. the young british pilots flew new fighter planes called spitfires and hurricanes, and you may not know that their success was partly down to a schoolgirl from london. sophie raworth met herfamily before lockdown and can explain. it isa it is a wonderful aircraft, absolutely wonderful. it fitted you like a glove, that is what i liked

about it. without a victory in the battle of britain, i think it is almost certain that we would have been invaded by germany. it was a darned close—run thing. it is the most famous plane from world war ii. it played a crucial role in the battle of resin. but what we didn't know until now was the role that a 13—year—old girl played in its design. hazel's role, like so many others, has hitherto been untold. i think we can look back and be extremely grateful for the contribution she made. we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the hour. we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. we

shall never surrender. way up in the sky, there are messerschmitt 's, junkers, but by going to get the trashing of their lives. in july 1940 the fate of the world hung in the balance. britain was facing the threat of invasion from nazi germany. adolf hitler knew that to win the war, he would need to invade written. that summer, he made the decision to attack from the hour, using the mighty german air force, the luftwaffe. the raf was outnumbered three to one. what followed in the skies above written that summer has been described as this country's single most important military campaign ever fought. this country's single most important military campaign everfought. —— britain.

victory in the battle of britain was by no means certain, and depended on the skills and bravery of young raf pilots from britain and her allies. there they were flying the latest generation of fighter planes, the legendary spitfires and hurricanes. a key feature of these fighters was the way they were armed. the new planes were initially designed to carry four machine—guns, but in the run—up to war, or that would change. earlier this year i was lucky enough to find out what it was like to fly in one of these iconic planes. there we go. snug, isn't it? amazing!

wow! absolutely sensational. being up wow! absolutely sensational. being up here, the speed, the agility, the way the plane just comedy pilots as, you are almost flying it with your fingertips. ijust you are almost flying it with your fingertips. i just cannot you are almost flying it with your fingertips. ijust cannot imagine being up here in a dogfight. 0h, fingertips. ijust cannot imagine being up here in a dogfight. oh, my stomach! wow. i can feel the geforce. look at that. it is such an elegant and agile fighter,

speed and surprise would be key to its success. and of course, it's firepower. in we come to learn. —— land. pilots reckoned that they could keep their sights on for about two seconds. so you had to find a way of bringing down an enemy bomber injust two way of bringing down an enemy bomber in just two seconds. in 1934, way of bringing down an enemy bomber injust two seconds. in 1934, as way of bringing down an enemy bomber in just two seconds. in 1934, as war with germany looked increasingly likely, the british government took what many thought to be an extraordinary decision. the new generation of fighters, they said, should be armed with not four but eight browning machine—guns. should be armed with not four but eight browning machine-guns. give it up, mrs smith. 0r eight browning machine-guns. give it up, mrs smith. or is it miss? the battle of britain is your battle, too. they had finally been persuaded by this man, a scientific officer in

the air ministry called captain fred hill. he was convinced that with just four guns be planes being developed wouldn't have enough firepower to bring down fast living enemy aircraft. he wanted to cram eight powerful machine—guns onto the new fighter planes, an idea that seemed excessive to many. to bolster his case, fred turned to an unlikely person for help. a schoolgirl from north london, his 13—year—old daughter, hazel. hazel was an only child, a talented mathematician and a meticulous worker. she had a close relationship with her father and was in many ways the ideal assistant for fred. although just a teenager, in many ways the ideal assistant for fred. althoughjust a teenager, it was hazel who helped completely intricate calculations he had to make. —— complete the intricate calculations. most people assume that eight guns would be too heavy for the spitfire. but the extra

load would make the nimble new aircraft slower and less manoeuvrable. fred knew that a forgone design for the new fighters had already been agreed. —— four—gun design. if the plans were not changed quickly, it would be too late. so, it's 1934. would be too late. so, it's1934. you've got the hurricane and the spitfire underdevelopment. but it is said that they only need four guns. you know they can catch the bombers. but now you've got to be able to kill them, and you've got three potential weapons available. one of them fires shells like this. this was a french hispano 20 mimetic canon, and it's obviously very tempting to go for these. this one hits on our it's going to come down. though there are problems with it. in order to be able to fire them accurately, they've got to have a very stiff mounting, and as you can

imagine, the weapon itself is very large. so it's going to be difficult to find room in a spitfire wing, this very flexible wing, and even the hurricane, it turned out in practice, still didn't have a mounting stiff enough in order to be able to take any of these at the time. your next choice would probably be this. this is actually a machine—gun bullets, they were behaved more like a fast firing cannon, and it is a .5 inch machine—gun. now, those guns were still under development. and they we re very still under development. and they were very heavy. so, given the number that you would need to produce the density of fire that he required for that fire to be lethal against a contemporary bomber, you would need a lot of them. and so for the time being, at least, this option was laid to one side. what you are option was laid to one side. what you a re left option was laid to one side. what you are left with is this year. it looks a real tiddler, doesn't it? it is actually a .303

rifle calibre machine—gun bullets. the same thing soldiers fired out of their rifles. however, it was discovered that if you grouped together eight of these machine—guns, drownings firing a thousand rounds a minute, you would produce a density of fire of 256 rounds in the two seconds that it was assumed that a pilot would have in order to bring down the bomber. —— brownings firing. two seconds was all he had, given the speed with which aircraft were moving now, and the difficulty of keeping your sites on. and these, eight of them, grouped together in the wings of hurricanes and spitfires, are what actually won the battle of britain. without fred hill's persistence, it could have been a very different outcome. he was so determined to prove the need for eight guns, not four, but he went home armed with the results of the

most recent firing trials as well as one of the latest calculating machines. and he asked his daughter for help. together, sitting around their small kitchen table in north london, they worked long into the night analysing the data. you wouldn't expect most 13 —year—olds to be able to do that kind of maths stop so she must have been a pretty remarkable mathematician. a lot of this work was done clandestinely, in secret, bya was done clandestinely, in secret, by a few dedicated individuals who didn't really have any money available. but in a way, it is not surprising. the budgets available to these people were very sparse. if indeed they had any budget at all. and in the accounts given by a lot of them, they talk about burning the midnight oil and coming into the office late after everybody has gone, to carry out further calculations and borrow some bits of equipment to carry out experiments, more or less off their own bat,

without working very long hours, because they were really dedicated to these things, and of course people taking their workload. this is raf duxford in cambridgeshire, home to many of the spitfires and hurricanes during the war. so this isa hurricanes during the war. so this is a spitfire piece of history, almost? absolutely, yes. and today, hazets almost? absolutely, yes. and today, hazel's sons have brought their mother's kitchen table here for us to see. so you have brought your kitchen table all the way from cornwall to hear, the control tower, at duxford. explain why. i think it is important for you to see it. this is important for you to see it. this is the kitchen table at which my mother did the calculations for the guns on the aeroplanes that fought in the battle of britain, and i think if you are a 13—year—old girl, at your kitchen table, you can change the world. so they've got the fabric of the gun ports really nice and neatly. and before they went into action are used to justify a couple of rounds to clear the fabric. hazel told her couple of rounds to clear the fabric. hazeltold her sons couple of rounds to clear the fabric. hazel told her sons about her role when they were growing

up. mum's calculations... but they have long been fascinated by these planes. it was only after this work was presented that the change was made, and that's why my mother had to work so and that's why my mother had to work so hard into the night, because there was only a small window of opportunity. the thing couldn't have gone into production if they'd spent months doing this, so it had to be donein months doing this, so it had to be done in weeks. what was it like for you as you unravelled the story? this can't be true — it's crazy. it seemed crazy that a 13—year—old should be assisting the raf in working out how it should arm its fighters for the next war. you just think that this can't be right. the calculations hazel did on a machine like this were extremely complicated. i have to keep subtracting until the bell rings, then i move along. they showed that then i move along. they showed that the future fighters needed to carry eight machine—guns, each capable of

firing at least 1000 rounds a minute, in order to have the firepower to destroy enemy planes. captain fred hill presented this craft showing the analysis at the crucial meeting of the air ministry injuly 1934 crucial meeting of the air ministry in july 1934 —— this crucial meeting of the air ministry injuly1934 —— this graph. but what only he and his superior officer knew was that the calculations that led to this conclusion had been done by his daughter, hazel. and eight guns at the time seemed an awful lot. they called it radical, didn't they? they called it staggering, and i think some of the higher echelons of the raf said, that's going a bit too far. most of them had grown up with first world war fighters that had one or two guns on them. four was radical — eight was incredible. and in the end it was onlyjust enough to have the edge. six years later at the battle of

britain, it was enough to win it, and if we'd had less, if the calculations had not prove the point, it would have had a big impact. the only public recognition hazel had in her role of transferring the spitfires and hurricanes was in a memoir written by her father's superior officer at the ministry — until now, that is. it's wonderful that hazel's story is at last reaching the light of day, and what a great inspiration for young people today, young girls in particular, that can look upon someone particular, that can look upon someone like hazel in the early 19305 someone like hazel in the early 1930s making such an important contribution to our later success in the battle of britain, which was vital to this country's survival. the calculations carried out by hazel and her father resulted the calculations carried out by hazel and herfather resulted in both spitfires and hurricanes being armed with eight rather than four guns. 0ver armed with eight rather than four guns. over the next six years, as britain headed towards war with nazi

germany, the planes were tested and put into production. each gun carried just 300 rounds. it took around 15 seconds for them all to be fired. it meant that every bullet had to count. the spitfire was a nimble aircraft, perfect for dog fights, and their pilots loved them. so you'd got three german fighters that day. no macro... 98—year—old squadron leader alan scott flew both spitfires and hurricanes.” squadron leader alan scott flew both spitfires and hurricanes. i went straight in and was catapulted out. and 109 bombers came in. we chased them to get a good squirt in. we saw black pieces fly upward. he also dropped his wheels. we took them all right, and we had a fine chase. personally i did not get a squirt, but it was terrific fun — happy but wary. amazing to read

that. the word fun comes out of it all the time. i suppose it's the adrenaline. we came down to write a diary, you see. they thought originally it was only going to have four guns, and it was this young girland her to have four guns, and it was this young girl and her father, to have four guns, and it was this young girl and herfather, captain hill, who said, no, they need to have eight, and they did all the mathematics and worked out that if it only had four it wouldn't be as successful — you wouldn't be able to fire in the two seconds enough bullets. no, four would have been really difficult, because it wouldn't have given us the firepower we had. i am awfully glad she was able to work that out for us. we didn't know anything about this, of course. we just flew the aircraft that came. what do you think about it, though, that a teenage girl help? i haven't heard about it until you told me of course. it's marvellous — i think it's absolutely

marvellous. i never thought that it would need that, you see. just putting guns on, you just put them on and fire them. you never think that mathematically they had to be worked out, the firepower and so on — marvellous, absolutely marvellous. it is amazing, isn't it, to think that a young girl with her father around the kitchen table...” that a young girl with her father around the kitchen table... i know. to hear that story quite unique, and i thanked liked it very much. tell me about your fighting. did you take pa rt me about your fighting. did you take part in the battle of britain? yes, the battle of princeton went on — people forget this. the official date of ending was in october people forget this. the official date of ending was in 0ctober1940, but the battle of britain went on into 1941, of course. the bombers didn't stop because — 0ctober, you should finish explanation mark so we we re should finish explanation mark so we were still scrambling to engage them

way into 41, up until almost december 41. that's when i had the most effective part of it. i shot a junger 88 down. that was my part. but i went to the siege of malta in 1942, and that's where i got most of my victories to become an ace. the eight guns proved to be crucial for success. what father and daughter had calculated was the exact distance the fighters had to be from the enemy to successfully hit the target. i think the biggest thing was the huge increase in speed of the new fighters, which was way beyond anything people had experienced before. it's always very dangerous with mathematics to extrapolate it beyond its usual domain of applicability, where you check the data and make sense. so what they had to do was to take trials conducted at much lower speed and then work out what would be

necessary for a really high—speed fighter, and that will have been particularly difficult — very easy to get it wrong. 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 to stand a chance of shooting down — around 250 yards, or almost 230 metres, away. hazel's calculations proved to be critical. the spitfire and hurricane were both armed with eight browning 303 machine—guns. the weight of fire was onlyjust enough to ta ke weight of fire was onlyjust enough to take down the german bombers. there are stories of german bombers reaching france with more than 200 bullet holes in them, because the calibre of the bullets we were firing was only just calibre of the bullets we were firing was onlyjust sufficient. so in fact many german bombers escaped, perhaps damaged beyond repair, but nevertheless insufficiently damaged

to shoot them down. if hazel and her father, as they poured over the design under mathematics in their kitchen — if they got that wrong and underestimated the need for eight guns, it could have been a different outcome. a compromise could have been six guns. as we know, the spitfire was originally conceived as having four. eight was radical, a compromise could have been six. it certainly wouldn't have been enough, and in ourcombat certainly wouldn't have been enough, and in our combat the margins are very fine. i think it's quite reasonable to think that the outcome could have been quite different. reasonable to think that the outcome could have been quite differentm the end! could have been quite differentm the end i think one would have to say i think the eight guns were a pretty good decision taken, as it was, back in the middle of the 19305. it was, back in the middle of the 1930s. it wasn'tjust was, back in the middle of the 1930s. it wasn't just the was, back in the middle of the 1930s. it wasn'tjust the battle of britain guns that this teenager helped develop. hazel and herfather once again use their mathematical brains to help design an improved reflector gunsight, the way fighters load up their guns from the

cockpit, that was used throughout the second world war. the spitfire's maiden flight world war. the spitfire's maiden flight was in 1936. hazel saw the plane on display at this hour show in hendon injune of that year, her only reward for her hard work with her father was permission to sit briefly in the cockpit of this plane that she had helped design. she went on to have a career in medicine, volunteering to join the royal army medical corps. she treated injured soldiers who return from dunkirk. death and destruction... civilians injured in the london blitz. and returning prisoners of war. as you say, she served during the war. she should have seen the spitfire going overhead. indeed she did, and she told the story of a spitfire saving her life as a medical student in aberdeen, which was a fascinating story about how she was scared by german aircraft, turned around and saw a spitfire chasing it away. that

was in the early stages of the war. the battle of britain proved a turning point in the war. around 1000 raf planes were shot down during the four—month conflict. germany suffered nearly twice as many losses, but the margin of victory was narrow. the eight guns on the spitfires and hurricanes were only just on the spitfires and hurricanes were onlyjust enough to win the battle. it's amazing that history hands—on so it's amazing that history hands—on so fine thread, isn't it? if she hadn't asked to help in the decision hadn't asked to help in the decision had not been made to go with eight guns, who knows what would have happened? it was difficult for them at the time, the people developing the aircraft and the guns, to actually work out what they needed to do and how they could do it, because it had never been done before on that scale. no, indeed. the advances were extraordinary and ina very the advances were extraordinary and in a very rapid period of time, so arriving out the figure of eight

guns and making the case persuasively too, shall we say, some conservative members of the raf‘s technical board was a difficult thing to do. eight guns was radical. in fact, after war broke out, the idea of an eight gunfighter was used asa idea of an eight gunfighter was used as a propaganda tool to encourage or bolster british morale by saying, our aircraft, our bolster british morale by saying, ouraircraft, ourfighters, bolster british morale by saying, our aircraft, our fighters, 08 gunfighter 's — it was double what had previously been used by the raf. but it was barely what was needed to achieve success in the battle of britain. the gratitude of every home in our island, our empire and indeed throughout the world, except in the abodes of the guilty, goes out to the british and men, who undaunted by odds, unwary and a constant challenge and morsel danger, are turning the tide of the world war by their promise and by their devotion. never in the field of human

conflict was so never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few. the battle of britain pilots flew mission after mission to defeat the german luftwaffe. their bravery and success made victory possible, but without the support of many others, the battle would not have been won. now, for the first time, we can add a 13—year—old schoolgirl from north london that list.” we can add a 13—year—old schoolgirl from north london that list. i think history should remember her as being one of the people who made a real difference — one the ordinary people. working with their families, making a difference with their families, that have enormous impact on the overall future of the success of society. society is made up of ordinary people making a difference, and she was just one of those people who made a difference. very proud of her, but lots of people made a difference in the second world war. we only won that war because so many people contributed to the national

success. she would have wanted to be remembered for her medical work, but i think history will remember her for this work. she just happened to be the right person at the right place at the right time. sitting around this kitchen table. yes. and she was a 13—year—old girl, notjust an ordinary person — that is extraordinary. absolutely extraordinary.

good morning welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today: face coverings could become mandatory in shops in england, as the prime minister says the "balance of scientific opinion has shifted". disadvantaged gcse and a—level students in england may miss out on the results they deserve, after exams were cancelled. wales sees the further easing of lockdown restrictions today with the reopening of some tourist accomodation

frustration for england's cricketers. they are under pressure in the first test as west indies take a healthy lead into the second innings. as events and gets under way this weekend for the first time since long time, we are behind the scene at the barbary horse trials. good morning from this cricket club in liverpool, as we prepare for the return of recreational cricket in england. 0utdoor pools in england can welcome back swimmers from today, but the majority will remain shut saying the government didn't give them enough notice. if you are planning to get out and about this weekend, i have good news for you because it looks generally dry for us this weekend. there will be spells of sunshine and it should be spells of sunshine and it should be getting a bit

warmer, as well. it's saturday, 11th ofjuly. our top story: tougher rules on wearing face coverings could be on the way in england, after the prime minister said a "stricter" approach may help stop the spread of coronavirus. it's already mandatory to wear a face covering in shops in scotland and ministers are considering whether to follow suit in england. the government has previously said the scientific evidence around wearing masks in public is "weak". john mcmanus reports. could this be the face of your future shopping trip in england? well, it's unlikely that you will bump into the prime minister when you pick up your groceries, but borisjohnson pulls you pick up your groceries, but boris johnson pulls my you pick up your groceries, but borisjohnson pulls my government is considering whether to make the wearing of face coverings mandatory in shops. at an event on friday filmed in downing street, the prime minister dropped a very large tent. we are looking at ways of making sure that people really do you observe and really do have face

coverings in the shops, because the balance of scientific opinion seems to have shifted in favour of them thanit to have shifted in favour of them than it was, and we are very keen to follow that. face coverings have been compulsory in scotland? shops and yesterday, but one expert has cautioned that they are not a pa na cea . cautioned that they are not a panacea. social distancing and good hygiene practices are paramount, we need to emphasise that. what we don't want is a situation because they are wearing a face mask some how they can relax. in a move welcomed by swimmers, outdoor pools will reopen in england from today, though only four out of more than a hundred will do so. the industry body has warned that a third of ladies will remain closed this year because it is not financially viable for them to open and it has questioned the lack of notice. we have always said that it takes a minimum of two weeks to bring apple

back into commission once it has been out for so long. there is a lot of work to do that, not only bringing your stuff off furlough for a kick—off, but also to get the pool temperature, get the water microbiology rate, the dose and write and to get all the covid—19 precautions in place. while the government recognises that not all businesses could open on the specific date, but his advice was based on scientific advice. as swimmers take the plunge again today, it is a return to some kind of normality, whatever the government has my final decision on face masks. 0ur political correspondent leila nathoojoins us now. the prime minister wearing a face covering for the first time is a statement of sorts but it is not a policy. around face coverings there has been much debate. yes, i think the prime minister wearing a face mask for the first time in public is a strong indication of the direction

of travel. it is something that has been on the cards for a while. the policy around the mandatory wearing face masks has been evolving around the pandemic. some people have been arguing for it for many months. the message from ministers at the start of the crisis was a good have a detrimental effect, could encourage people to abandon social distancing or stop washing their hands because they feel safe by wearing a face mask. the message was that the science at the time around the effectiveness of its top and transmission of the virus was inconclusive. now you are hearing from borisjohnson that inconclusive. now you are hearing from boris johnson that scientific opinion has moved on. he has seen him wearing a mask in public for the first time. this is connected to the reopening of the economy. he has mentioned before face coverings being a useful tool to give people confidence to get back out there once lockdown has ended. this is what is behind this signal from number ten that they want to make

face masks mandatory in enclosed settings. it already is on public transport in scotland already. this idea that it will give people confidence to get back out there just as things begin to reopen. let's get more now on the reopening of outdoor swiming pools in england. ben bland is at charlton lido in south—east london, which is one of only four expected to open their doors today. the sun is shining, the gorgeous pool behind you. that pool is one of only four that is opening its doors today, what is happening? well, yes, as you say, the sun is shining, the water, doesn't it look so inviting? 0utdoor pools can be open from today. this one will be inviting people back in from nine o'clock this morning. you pick a time slot and people will be noticing that the lanes are wider, old the distancing considerations that we have got used

to. they only find out the matter of days ago that they will be allowed to reopen, that is why a lot of the swimming pools, between 100 and 200 outdoor pools in england, most of them are going to stay shut because they are simply not ready. this one is, they have been working very hard behind—the—scenes. whitney isjoe brown, the regional director of batter leisure, who run the pool. it has been the toughest thing about getting this ready? it is getting its covid. getting at sea for our customers and staff. working how we're going to do that, get flu through the centre. there have been weeks and months to get things ready, happened there? the time required ready to take stuff out of furlough, make sure the temperature

of the bill is up, all the cleaning, make sure we're ready to receive customers, and that the customers know what you prepare for when they come into the centre. all of those bits of information that they need. we wa nt bits of information that they need. we want to make sure that everything isa we want to make sure that everything is a safe environment when they arrive and they know what to expect. there was some talk of banning the butterfly stroke, what is that about? i think it is back stroke that we are advising our customers, if they don't do that whilst there are swimming. that is simply because they can see where they are going, so they can see where they are going, so to make sure they don't swim into any other swimmers. thank you very much, joe. we will be speaking to some of the swimmers later in the programme. mps have warned that young people in england risk missing out on the grades they deserve, after exams were cancelled because of the coronavirus. a system of predicted grades is being used instead, but the education committee says it risks inaccuracy and bias against pupils from less affluent groups and ethnic minority backgrounds. dan

johnson reports. while some peoples may be back in school, nobody is doing exams this summer. instead, grades will be given by teachers based on expected performance, taking into account mock exam results and coursework. greater gun standardised across and can pay off call. that ensures that rates are roughly in line with recent yea rs, rates are roughly in line with recent years, but the parliament education committee warns that the system could be unfair and may discriminate against some pupils. we are very discriminate against some pupils. we are very worried about what is called unconscious bias. that means that disadvantaged groups, particularly children with special educational needs, low income pupils, pam e pupils, are often under protected in their grades. we are worried that the system that has been devised by off call does not reflect that. after all told us that

standardisation process was designed so standardisation process was designed so pupils want disadvantaged. any who are unhappy with the great they are rewarded can opt to set an exam in the autumn. are rewarded can opt to set an exam in the autumn. lockdown restrictions are being eased in wales from today as the nation's hospitality, leisure and tourism industries begin to re—open over the next three weeks. holidaymakers can now visit self—contained accommodation with ensuite facilities. here's our wales correspondent, tomos morgan. in the middle ofjuly, this pay and the gower peninsular should be packed with barbecues, swimmers and those just wanting to get some of that famous welsh tan. but tourism has been put on hold due to coronavirus. from today, though, the tides are beginning to change. as self—contained accommodation opens across wales. because of its unique location overlooking the sea, this hotel is usually fully booked with weddings over the summer months. hotel is usually fully booked with weddings over the summer monthsm

has been a big task. we wanted to be sure we were hitting everything we needed to help with safety measures staff and customers. with the restau ra nt staff and customers. with the restaurant and gatherings on not possible for now. hospitality is all about customers, so we are so excited to be able to welcome people back. it will be really nice to see them, albeit more at a distance than usual. today marks a phased reopening of a number of different businesses across wales. 0n reopening of a number of different businesses across wales. on monday will be the turn of outdoor hospitality is to reopen, as well as hair salons for those in need of a trim. the following week it will be playgrounds, then cam sites, museums and cinemas, all just playgrounds, then cam sites, museums and cinemas, alljust in time for the summer holidays to begin. it was lovely there. darren will have the weather in a short while. darren will have the weather in a short while. "we need to be stricter in insisting people wear face coverings in confined spaces."

those were the words of the prime minister last night as he signalled a major change to government policy could be on the way in england. so has the science on face coverings changed or is this about paving the way to get more people back to work? let's speak now to professor tom solomon, the director of the institute of infection and global health at the university of liverpool, and matt chorley, a political commentator from times radio. tom, good to see you. you have been on this programme many times. can you explain this to me, what should we understand when i go to you boris johnson saying the balance of scientific opinion seems to have shifted more in favour of them than it was, and we are very keen to follow that? the reason i am asking you to explain it is, first, has the science changed, or has

the number of scientists who are now saying wearing masks is more advantageous than not, has not changed? wearing masks is more advantageous than not, has not changed7m wearing masks is more advantageous than not, has not changed? it has been one of those issues that are scrambled onto the whole pandemic. there has been uncertainty from the start. the evidence has accumulated during the pandemic and i believe most experts believe that on balance facemasks probably are helpful. there have been a couple of reports the last couple of months, one of them the royal society, in favour of wearing face masks. a couple of weeks ago there was a letter to the who from 200 scientists saying they are increasingly worried about aerosol transmission, so transmission of these tiny, tiny particles which could carry the virus. the overwhelming impression is that masks probably are helpful. what has changed in terms of the concerns that were raised about facemasks, predominantly that people

would be touching their faces facemasks, predominantly that people would be touching theirfaces more and also might feel more secure being out and less conscious of social distancing because of a feeling of some protection? well, you are right. a couple of months ago a lot of this was theoretical, and there was a theoretical worried that if people wore masks they might feel that they were protected and they would behave in a responsible ways. there is no new evidence to support that. the other worry was because masks might stop you passing the virus on my breathing, but all the virus on my breathing, but all the virus on my breathing, but all the virus might accumulate within the virus might accumulate within the mask if you're not careful when you're taking it off, you could be putting virus on your hands, therefore spreading it in that way. we have moved from the start of the epidemic where it was mostly different theories and people talking about different theories, now we have more evidence about what is happening. that has shifted the balance of probability.”

is happening. that has shifted the balance of probability. i think we can show a picture, i'm sure you will have seen this by now, boris johnson for the first time out in public wearing the face mask. the government says it is always led by the science, so we are getting the impression that now the government is saying that facemasks are a good thing. again, we go back to boris johnson, he said we are looking at ways of making sure that people really do have face coverings and shops. 0ne really do have face coverings and shops. one way to make sure that happens is to say, here is a new rule. are we in another grey area where he is saying we are looking at it, and people are thinking, should ior it, and people are thinking, should i or shouldn't i? where is everyone on this particular issue? you are rights, it is not totally clear. people just want to be clear. i have been commuting back into london every morning for the last couple

of weeks and! every morning for the last couple of weeks and i always make sure my phone, make keys and my mask. 0n public transport you have to wear them. if you go to the shops, it is a mixed bag. even in different shops you have some people behind the counter with almost full ppe on, and another shop they don't. people don't really like wearing the masks, it is nicer not to wear one, so if you don't have to you're probably inclined not to. if the government wants people to wear them, they have to tell them. i don't think advising them is going to work. there is attention here within the government on the political and economic side. they are keen to get people to think that life has gone back to something more normal, to go back to work, spend some money, try and support the hospitality businesses and other shops and businesses, as well. there has been a feeling that a mask would make it clear we haven't gone back

to normal. the idea of mandating masks would affect that. the big problem they have got is that people are concerned about going out in one way to encourage them is to say, look, everyone is wearing a mask, it it's much safer, so you can go back to the shops and spend some money. why is it so difficult for boris johnson to say where a mask? when you were talking about your commute, iam you were talking about your commute, i am looking at those words again, you didn't say to yourself, i am looking at ways of making sure that i wear looking at ways of making sure that iweara looking at ways of making sure that i wear a mask if i am in a place, you just said i will wear one in this place, or i have been told to. it is because the law has changed on public transport. when i get on the train, nearly everyone has a mask. ifi train, nearly everyone has a mask. if i kept on the cheap, everyone

has a mask. ifi if i kept on the cheap, everyone has a mask. if i come out of waterloo and walk into a coffee shop or newsagents, people haven't got a mask because the rules aren't there. a lot of this goes back to boris johnson being a libertarian. he was very reluctant to impose these restrictions on people. early on, rememberwe had a period restrictions on people. early on, remember we had a period where we we re remember we had a period where we were advised not to go to pubs, but pubs could remain open. it was a few days before the pubs were shot. he would much rather they sort of libertarian idea, advising people rather than being strict and mandating people. there is a bit of politics going on with this. the labour mayor of london, nicola sturgeon in scotland, on the whole signing up to much the same strategy with a bit of leeway, but arguing about facemasks is a point of

difference. we have seen that over the last few days, nicola sturgeon wearing a natty tartan mask, which is apparently sold out in parts of scotland! there is a bit of politics going on. in the end we will end up ina going on. in the end we will end up in a situation with masks being mandated in shops. part of me wonders why this wasn't done when it happened on public transport because that would have beenjust happened on public transport because that would have been just the happened on public transport because that would have beenjust the new normal. it is of no the people have gone back to shops and pubs without masks, to then introduce them feels like we're going backwards than forwards. tom, at the beginning of lockdown, when the pandemic first appeared, lots of the science was theoretical, there was no practical evidence. somebodyjust got in touch with us saying wearing masks in shops and infant may be mandated,

so should this become the new norm and all indoor spaces? that is the consequence of mandating something ina public consequence of mandating something in a public space, then people will use logic and think our shop is no different to me being in a pub or a restau ra nt different to me being in a pub or a restaurant or a school? this is where it becomes a bit nuanced. we have just heard that it was mandated for public transport but not shops. pa rt for public transport but not shops. part of the reason for that is public transport is always in a confined space and tends to be crowded. some shops are crowded and confined, but some of them are large spaces. i think that is part of the reason why initially it wasn't mandated for shops. there is increasing evidence now about transmission of these very small aerosol droplets which go beyond two metres and can be in the air longer. that is part of the

nudge towards greater usage of masks. beyond shops, if you are talking about pubs and restaurants, you can't eat a meal or drink a pint through a mask. it does become tricky. at the end of the day there is an element of common sense but will have to play in this, as well. professor tom solomon, thank you. and matt surely, thank you very much. here's darren with a look at this morning's weather. we are at marlborough today because the horse trials are taking place. we can't see any of the

horses are paraphernalia yet, but a significant day for that sport because they have been hoping they can get a start to their season. we can just see some of the vehicles there. most of those competitors would have been on their way to tokyo for the olympics now. in the absence of that, at least there is an event. beautiful. all happening behind closed doors. i think darren will bring us some good news, as the last few mornings, looking outside there has not been a lot of fun, but things are looking up for this weekend. it is looking dry for most parts of the country and it will be getting warmer with spells of sunshine. the reason for the change in our weather is higher pressure is dominating this weekend. we do have a weather front arriving in the far north—west on sunday.

for southampton, for the test match, no interruptions, hardly any cloud and it will be getting a bit warmer. this is what we have seen to start the day. i bet a patchy cloud in northern and north—western areas with monitory showers coming into northern ireland and requesting them for a while. the bulk of the showers will be for the north—west of scotland. cloud will double up across england and wales, but it shouldn't spoil things very much. still good spells of sunshine around and lighter winds. still only 16 or 17 degrees for scotland and northern ireland, 19 or 20 in the south—east. a lovely end to the day for england and is as the cloud melts away. mark out for northern parts of the uk, reimbursing the far north of scotland. these are the temperatures by the end of the night in towns and cities. high pressure in charge as

we move into sunday, the promise of lots of sunshine for wales, the midlands and southern england. this weather front will bring rain into northern ireland in western scotland, but not until the evening. there will be built up a fight in the northern part of the uk. the wind direction will change to more ofa wind direction will change to more of a site or south—westerly, so temperatures should race on sunday. probably peaking at 24 in the south—east of england. into the beginning of next week, signs of change. the high pressure getting squeezed by the weather front moving down from the north—west. that will bring rain overnight for scotland and northern ireland. what's left of the rain will move down into england and wales. to the north, sun chang following a few showers, mainly for scotland. we are not reaching the south—east of england on monday. the temperatures will be up to 23 or 24 degrees, dropping off a bit as you head further north. the cooler air

will move down across all areas on tuesday, so temperatures not quite so tuesday, so temperatures not quite so high in the south—east on tuesday, but over the weekend it will be a much drier week than we have had over the last couple of weeks. higher pressure and southern parts of the uk, and here temperatures may start to rise again later on in the week. so if! so if i were an amateur cricketer and thinking today is the day i get to play cricket,, how is liverpool today? i would say the weather is just going to be perfect. a bit of cloud cover coming in, bad light will not stop play and it should be dry. there will be some happy amateur cricketers, who we will meet up amateur cricketers, who we will meet up rate now with. sarah mulkerrins is at wavertree cricket club in liverpool

for us this morning. good morning. it is almost like dan is here with this weather forecast, a beautiful morning for the return of recreational cricket all around england. they have been waiting a long time. i think there will be a lot of excitement this morning. we arejust a lot of excitement this morning. we are just a couple of miles away from liverpool at weather tree cricket club. we can see a lot of young players who are back training this morning, back playing cricket. this week we have seen the elite return with international cricket with the opening test nine in southampton. this is the future, and they are able to get back playing all around england today. there are some caveats to the return of the sports. we have certain rules that are now

in place in terms of maintaining the hygiene standards. there will be hygiene standards. there will be hygiene breaks within play, players will keep socially distant. the batsmen will run in distinct lines to make sure there are two metres in between them, their partner and the bowlers. 0ne mild he will be enforcing all those rules is phil 0'brien, chairman. a big smile on your face this 0'brien, chairman. a big smile on yourface this morning. it must be nice to be back. yes, we are super excited to be getting going again, getting on the field. we have been doing practising for a couple of weeks and some of those things that weeks and some of those things that we have been required to do have been difficult, shining the ball without saliva and things like that. as you can see, there is a big demand. we are right here in the heart of liverpool's city

centre. you have cricket members from across the board. how difficult is locked opening for the club? from a personal perspective, you have got people who are missing their friends. from an organisational perspective, a lot of our volunteers are olderand perspective, a lot of our volunteers are older and have been shielding. we have had to mccain, adapts. everyone has used social media to keep socialising. there has been a falling out or two as well because people have been frustrated. we are taking our return very seriously and trying to manage everything so everyone is safe. more than anything we just want to get together with our mates again and enjoy what we love. you mention some of the new rules, no saliva on the ball, players keeping socially distant. rules, no saliva on the ball, players keeping socially distantm it manageable? 0f players keeping socially distantm it manageable? of course it is manageable. cricket has never stood still, it is always adapted and we will do that.

we'll be doing it perfectly? i'm sure we won't, but will be trying really hard to make things happen, to try to get going again. we have seen golf return, tennis. how important is for the future of cricket that you can get back to play for some part of the season? this is a cricket club that prides on engaging with the community. we are developing new coaches and probably always say to our coaches is when people walk through the gate, make sure that they are welcome, that they feel that this is their place and they feel brilliant while they are doing cricket. it is important that we engage with people and that they have a nice time and associate our sporting club of having a brilliant time. there are certainly some players around here having a brilliant time this morning. we will talk to another few members of the

tea m talk to another few members of the team in the next hour. grassroots cricket is returning all around england with those caveats today. some very happy members here this morning. it almost feels like it is not the summer it almost feels like it is not the summer if there is not any cricket. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. coming up before nine, darren will have all the weekend weather. but first, a summary of this morning's

main news. tougher rules on wearing face coverings could be on the way in england after the prime minister said a stricter approach may help stop the spread of coronavirus. mps have warned that young people in england may miss out on the grades they deserve. a system of predicted grades is being used instead. but thatis grades is being used instead. but that is said this risks inaccuracy. the belgian government is enforcing a two—week quarantine period for any travellers who have recently been in leicester. this

also applies to visitors from lisbon. signs will be placed around brussels airport today for tourists. that united states has recorded a daily record of 64,000 new cases of coronavirus in 24 hours. is disney prepares to reopen its flagship theme park, the second highest daily rise in cases has been reported. we will stick with the cricket theme. and also the equestrian, and

swimming pools are reopening. it does feel like the summer of sport is toa does feel like the summer of sport is to a certain extent. no tennis, no big events like the olympics but there are recreational sports now to be enjoyed in the sunshine. the sun shone on day three of the first test in southampton, but it didn't really help england's bowlers who had a tough old day as the west indies took control of the match. let's say good morning to the former england international isa guha who's now part of the bbc‘s cricket team. thank you for inviting us back into your bio bubble. west indies travelled across the atlantic ocean, they are now locked down in that strange bio bubble atmosphere. 0n top of that they are playing in a colder climate than they are used to but they seem to have adapted much more quickly than england who seemed a bit rusty over the first couple of days? they did indeed. it is bright

sunshine over to my right. very much looking forward to another fantastic day of cricket. ben stokes led the charge yesterday and got england back into the game. the west indies have taken to it brilliantly. they have taken to it brilliantly. they have come off a domestic season. they have been in lockdown but they had good preparation up north. they have come out firing in this test match. they have balls in good areas. this seems to have discipline with the bat. england have taken a while to warm into it. fingers crossed for a good day for england today. ben stokes shouldering the burden for england. a fascinating battle, the battle of the all—rounders between ben stokes and his opposite numberjason holder for the west indies. it is one to watch as the test match gets into the business end. we talk about battles within battles in sport and this is

one of them. ben stokes, everyone talks about ben stokes, a great all—rounder. nobody mentions jason holder. he was dismissed by ben yesterday. ben was dismissed by ben yesterday. ben was dismissed by ben yesterday. ben was dismissed by him on the two. bit of revenge. it will be interesting to see who takes t3. jofra archer not quite hitting the target. they were expected to introduce peace into the bowling attack for england. do you think the selectors have made the wrong pic? ido the wrong pic? i do not think they can at this stage? you pick the team as you have got to be confident. it is great that stewart is showing how much he cares and how frustrated he is. he is an experienced bowler, 485 test wickets. but during the game you have got to focus on. it is

something they will look at after the test match and then move on from there. stuart has a lot of experience. it is such a condensed schedule. they will all get a goal at one stage. it is an exciting prospect. having jofra archer and mark wood in the same test match especially with the ashes around the corner in 15 months' time or so. thank you forjoining us. let us hope england can bat out today and may be said it also for west indies to chase down for an exciting conclusion. thank you for sharing your thoughts. let us move on to the football. today could be the day that norwich city drop out of the premier league. they must beat west ham today otherwise they're heading back to the championship. dan's here to talk about football focus which is on bbc one at midday. it is crunch time for norwich. even their manager has said as much.

they have lost the last six games. they have lost the last six games. they have lost the last six games. they have failed to score in 16 games this season. that is not the form to keep you in the division. but they have been pulling some nice football over the past few months and they are well into visit and when they do go down to try and come back up again. expect norwich to go. also, watford, level on points with west ham. the play at newcastle. watford and west ham just outside the bottom three trying to avoid that drop into it. we will be healing from... if you have been struggling with lockdown life and you have been watching interviews where people are interrupted by their children, we have another one of those. we are also going

to hear from arsenal's main striker. it is a north london derby without any fans this weekend. the interesting side issueis this weekend. the interesting side issue is that he is trying to become the golden boot winner this season. that is the player who scores the most goals in the premier league. you are in the running for the golden boot. are you thinking about that a little bit? just a little bit. when you see jamie vardy score more goals do you think, i need to up my more goals do you think, i need to up my game? i am a human being, of course sometimes i think about it. when he scores i am like, we have to work hard. at least he is being honest. we will also talk about other strikers.

0ur pundits on football focus will have something to say about that. it is 38 years today that the world cup final took place in 1982. we will revisit that as well. the fee must win, italy over west germany, the great notes of playing as well. —— the famous win. staying with sport and the first high—profile event of the british equestrian calendar takes place today. lizzie greenwood—hughes is at the barbury horse trials. ican i can see people on horses in the background. things are starting to warm up now. they are. the showjumping is just about to start. this place, barbury,

has long been considered the best place to watch the sport of eventing. usually thousands of people are sitting here anywhere on this hill watching the sport they love. it is ironic that there are no spectators. but the sport of eventing is ideally suited to social distancing because you have people on horses, always outside, in a mass of sites like this. as a sport it is ideally suited. we talked economically about the lack of ticket sales earlier, loss of hospitality, no trade stands, that is how the sport makes its money. it is how the sport makes its money. it isa is how the sport makes its money. it is a lifestyle sport. getting back to the action i have with me eventing super couple, i am likening you to to andre agassi and steffi graf. you are at the top of your game. how has it been as

an eventing couple with all these months of lockdown and how does it feel to be backin lockdown and how does it feel to be back in action? it is amazing to be back. it was a bit surreal. this is our first weekend. also, back. it was a bit surreal. this is ourfirst weekend. also, to back. it was a bit surreal. this is our first weekend. also, to add to that, there is no one here. but we are very that, there is no one here. but we are very happy. but it does feel weird. it has been a long year of just training and steam quite at home. it is a beautifulvenue just training and steam quite at home. it is a beautiful venue as you can see. picture perfect countryside. it is great to be back. you are from new zealand but you are based up the road. not too far away. the room as this will be quite tough on the professionals because you need —— because... what i am healing is that the amateurs having maybe been furloughed or had more time at home, they are ready for this, and you have been carrying on as normal. how are you feeling about some of

the lower level events you will be doing? that is a great thing about sport. we compete day in and day out with people from all levels. that is quite cool. you have been helping people virtually through watching videos these last few months. typically amateurs, isn't it? honing their skills whilst we have been enjoying a bit of quiet time. we have been so busy. we have been in this country for 15 years so we feel that we are local. this is the first half and a summary have had a little bit quiet. it is a novel for us to spend it warm summers day in our garden. earlier we spoke to tom mcewan who would have hopefully been going to tokyo with his horse for great britain. you too would have been pretty much nailed on to go for new zealand. you both went to rio diesel needle, how do you feel about the fact it

was postponed? diesel needle, how do you feel about the fact it was postponed7m diesel needle, how do you feel about the fact it was postponed? it is tough. we have a programme and a plan that builds into the olympics for probably four years. but with the particular horses in mind it is built in for the particular horses in mind it is built infora the particular horses in mind it is built in for a long time. this impacts some of those horses quite heavily to the point where they might not actually be available for future 0lympics. might not actually be available for future olympics. two of the horses we had our 17 this year which would be on the cusp of international competition. 18 next year possibly rules them out. on the other end, horses that are younger might come into fruition. the extra 12 months might do good. there are pros and cons. it is what it is. we have all got to go with the flow and make the most of it. you are called the

fastest mother on four legs. you have got two kids. after the first one you went and one babington ate a few months later. we have heard that lizzie kelly is having a baby. eventing is arguably more dangerous. does it go through your mind? it must be tough for a mother going out and galloping and jumping huge fences. it is different for everyone. i had a child this february and i was looking forward to the challenge of getting back on time for tokyo and hopefully go one better than we did at babington. i thrive on the challenge. if you still have the will to win and strain you can do the two things. good luck to both of you today and

tomorrow. it remains to be seen just how bad the economic impact will be of the social distancing measures on the sport of eventing but for today at least that is an optimism as barbury because the sport of eventing is back. very interesting hearing how people are adapting. what a lovely day. for the first time since lockdown began, concerts, festivals and theatre performances are allowed in england from today as long as they take place outdoors. there will be limited audiences, and they'll have to maintain social distancing, but are open air venues ready for them? we'rejoined by events director of gisburne park pop up festival, robyn isherwood and will mytum who manages the brighton open air theatre. good morning to you both. you must be ever so excited.

yes, i am very excited. very glad of the announcement that was made. how will it look? it is looking great. we have decided to pivot because all of our weddings have been cancelled this year and move to next year. you have this gorgeous venue which is in a valley and there is a river running through the middle. we decided to paint hexagons. you get up decided to paint hexagons. you get up to six people within your own pitch. you get deckchairs an umbrella. across the river there is a stage with a screen. there are a number of outdoor movies. concert nights. we are going to be doing an orchestra night.

on sunday we will do pub in the park. that is interesting. we can see your venue. it is right behind you. talk us through. an open air theatre. you have staged a couple of people, is that by way of illustration as to how it will look for an audience? yes, we have volunteers here. we are quite lucky. we have got wouldn't terraces. they are all about one metre long so it is not too difficult for us. we are going to paint lines to make it clear where people can and cannot sit. there will be a one—way system in and out. toilets, the bar, it'llall will be a one—way system in and out. toilets, the bar, it'll all be clearly marked for everybody so we can make sure everyone is safe and get ready to open and finally have some open air culture in brighton. when will your first performances start? we are starting two

weeks today on the 25th. two days notice was a little too short for us. the first event we will have on the 25th is going to be called bought unlocked, a celebration of local artists, performers, companies, a bit of everything, a variety show, music, theatre, comedy, drag, circus. donations only. it gives local artists in brighton and hove an opportunity to perform which they have not been in the defour quite a long time. it gives our audiences a chance to ease back in, relax in an informal way. it chance to ease back in, relax in an informalway. it has chance to ease back in, relax in an informal way. it has been interesting looking at all the speculation regarding nail bars, beauty salons, certain retailers, pubs, restaurants, seeing how much notice they have had in order to prepare. do you feel that you are fully prepared? yes i do. we have been prepared on standby for a while. we were not sure exactly when we would be able to open. we had

hoped that we would be included with the leisure and hospitality industry opening on the 4th ofjuly. it was a bit of a blow when that did not come through. we have been lobbying ever since, the entire theatre industry, to really press hard, i am glad that we have finally got the green light. a bit later than we would have liked ideally but the fact is we are there. we got what we needed, we can open. we are giving an extra two weeks to make sure everything is in place. then we will be ready to go throughout august and september. com plete throughout august and september. complete the picture for us. does the audience have to complete forms and do temperature checks? what is required of the guests? this is one of the most important thing is one of the most important thing is for us as a venue, as a message to everybody who is attending. this

isa to everybody who is attending. this is a strange time for all of us in our industry and we are trying to build back our industry whether it be from waiter and waitress jobs to our production crew to the entertainment industry. we have created around 100 jobs for this event which is running over two months. all we ask from the gates that are attending is just respect our rules. come and be safe and be sociable. the areas and that pictures are therefore a reason, to safeguard you. just stay your areas. we are doing temperature checks for a key member from we are doing temperature checks for a key memberfrom each group. we have track and trace as soon as you arrive. bar codes, it takes you straight through to our website. we are keeping all the information of everybody that is there. we will be working with the government if it is anything that comes out with the track and trace.

the entire festival as such is one way system, two metre markings on the floor everywhere. when you are in your pitch it is buyer to put service, there is no need other than to go to the toilet to leave your area. it is interesting how it will work in practice. every time you see the word volunteer do they wave? let as c. volunteer. that was a bit disappointing. can we try it one more time? volunteer. there we go. it is live theatre. that is what we like to see. i hope the weather stays good. good luck. thank you both very much. 0bviously people are pleased that businesses are back and running and

entertainment is back and running but you heard they are about being prepared. when it comes to open swimming pools outdoors, there is at the moment we are heeding that swim england says only four swimming pools were be opening because they have not been given enough time to open, the only found out at the 5pm briefing from the culture secretary. we will be looking at what is happening with open air swimming pools. how it is all going to work. and i can see you are eyeing that blue sky. crickets. what a day. a lot of people will be very happy today. we have been waiting for good weather. we have been talking about the cricket restarting. england against the west indies. it will be

sunny and dry, no further interruptions. the weather has been improving over the past day or two. we have got high pressure to thank for this improvement in the weather thatis for this improvement in the weather that is dominating this weekend. throughout the weekend you have got dry weather for throughout the weekend you have got dry weatherfor much throughout the weekend you have got dry weather for much of the country. there will be some sunshine. warm sunshine. there is some cloud around at the moment. that has been affecting north—western parts of the uk. as we head further on into the day, whilst the westerly breeze will bring in more cloud into scotland and northern ireland most of the showers will be in the north—west of scotland. the robbie some showers. warm in the sunshine. warmer through the midlands and the south—east of england. cloud melting away during the evening, a lovely end to the day. more cloud for scotland and northern ireland. rain brushing the

far north of scotland over night for a while, that should be gone by the morning. those are the temperatures by that stage. these are the temperatures in towns and cities, rural areas take a few degrees of that. many places starting dry and sunny. some build up of cloud through the day, especially northern half of the country. eventually this rain pushing into northern ireland and western scotland. probably not until the evening. the dry weather at last longer. it gets warmer throughout sunday. temperatures in a few degrees higher and much of a few degrees higher in much of the country. for the beginning of next week we start to see that weather front bringing some rain down into scotla nd front bringing some rain down into scotland and northern ireland over night. then that goes down into england and wales. but that is not a great deal of rain moving into england and wales. there will be some sunshine. some showers. most

of those will be in scotland. south—east of england in east anglia it may be dry throughout much of monday and still reasonably warmer. to the north of that weather front and patchy rain there is a slightly cooler and fresher air. temperatures will not be quite as high on tuesday and wednesday. eight much drier week ahead particularly in the southern half of the uk. getting even warmer again later in 02:55:26,1000 --> 02:55:28,503 the week. we have seen some amazing achievements. things people have done. alasdair robertson aims to complete a full marathon today to reach 1000 kilometres. 0ur reporterjames waterhouse is with him now.

good morning welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today: face coverings could become mandatory in shops in england, as the prime minister says the "balance of scientific opinion has shifted". in the last few minutes it has been announced that jack charlton, world cup winner with england in 1966, has died at the age of 85. charlton was a legend in the game. he played more than 700 times for leeds united, and managed the republic of ireland at a world cup disadvantaged gcse and a—level students in england may miss out on the results they deserve, after exams were

cancelled. if you are planning to get out and about this weekend, i have good news for you because it looks generally dry for us this weekend. there will be spells of sunshine and it should be spells of sunshine and it should be getting warmer, as well. it's saturday, 11th ofjuly. our top story: tougher rules on wearing face coverings could be on the way in england, after the prime minister said a "stricter" approach may help stop the spread of coronavirus. it is already mandatory to wear a face covering in shops in scotland and ministers are considering whether to follow suit in england. the government has previously said the scientific evidence around wearing masks in public is "weak", but borisjohnson signalled a change could be on the way while answering questions from the public in an event filmed by downing street last night. i do think we need to be stricter in insisting that people wear face coverings in confined places where they are meeting people that they don't normally meet.

the balance of scientific opinion seems to have shifted more in favour of them than it was and we are very keen to follow that. earlier, we spoke to the director of the institute of infection and global health at the university of liverpool, professor tom solomon, and asked him how our understanding of the science around face coverings has changed. this has been one of those issues that has crumbled onto the whole pandemic. there has been uncertainty from the start, but i think the evidence has accumulated during the pandemic and i think now that most experts believe now that on balance face masks are helpful. a couple of reports have come out in the past couple of months, one from the royal society, the leading scientific organisation in the uk, in favour of face masks. a couple of weeks ago

there was a letter to the who from about 200 scientists and they are increasingly worried about aerosol transmissions, so transmission of these tiny particles which can carry these tiny particles which can carry the virus. 0ur political correspondent leila nathoo joins us now. when we were talking to professor tom solomon is earlier, it is all about how much clarity is being offered. when will it a chilly become mandatory? the direction of travel is pretty clear now. the message from boris johnson travel is pretty clear now. the message from borisjohnson you heard there and the fact we are seeing him ina mask there and the fact we are seeing him in a mask in public for the first time ina in a mask in public for the first time in a way that ministers haven't beenin time in a way that ministers haven't been in recent days. rishi sunak was ina been in recent days. rishi sunak was in a restaurant for a photo opportunity not wearing a mask, and here you have borisjohnson signalling that things are going to change. it has been an evolving picture throughout the pandemic. if you look back to the early

messaging, the idea from ministers that wearing a face mask could discourage other people from doing things like washing their hands. that shifted, that i could give people confidence after locked on to get back out there. i think that is what we are seeing now. other countries have embraced mask wearing much more widely in order to come out of lockdown. i think that is the reason behind what we are hearing from government now, the people need to get back out there, to have the confidence to get back out in public, interacting with each other in spaces like they used to. it has been made mandatory in scotland to wear face coverings and shops as of yesterday. it is a strong signal from the government that that will be something coming on shortly. in the last few minutes, it has been announced that english footballing legend jack charlton has died.

the former player and manager played as a defender and was part of the england team that won the 1966 world cup. andy swiss looks back on his life. if you have blended courage and charisma quite like jack charlton. asa charisma quite like jack charlton. as a player, a manager and as part of english football's most famous family. bobby charlton with the corner. jackson is my perfect goal! charlton grew up in northumberland and after a brief spell as a miner opted for a career in football, along with his younger brother, bobby. while bobby's attacking flair soon bobby. while bobby's attacking flair soon him a*, jack's defensive qualities were rather less glamorous. charlton came in like a break wall. he got an elbow in the face. for all his bravery, he also —— always admitted he was

no match for his brother. people try to compare a spot they shouldn't. bobby can play. he is a creative player. but there is a place in the game for both types. it was a point he proved very successfully. charlton plasma power helped him score goals as well as stop them. he spent his entire playing career at leeds united, winning the league title in 1969. he wasn't cold up for england until he wasn't cold up for england until he was nearly 30, but soon made his mark, scoring his first international goal against finland in 1966. commentator: jackie charlton has got it. it's a goal. a month later came as defining moment, both he and bobby part of the team which lifted the world cup. the brothers were now both international celebrities. after 35 caps in more than 600 appearances for leeds, charlton eventually retired as a player in 1973, before embarking on

the next stage of his career. he was first a manager at middlesbrough, we re first a manager at middlesbrough, were his passion and personality proved an instant hit. if the palace coming toward you and he's gone back there is no way you're going to jump. he guided them to promotion before spells at sheffield wednesday and newcastle united, but it is at the republic of ireland has not manager that he will be most colou rfully manager that he will be most colourfully remembered. before taking them to the first ever world cup in1990, his taking them to the first ever world cup in 1990, his team produced a shock of the tournament by reaching the quarterfinals. commentator: ireland during the last eight and the party can begin. the english era was not an irish one, too. at the 1984 finals, despite receiving a touchline ban, he guided ireland to the last 16 before two years later he resigned and effectively retired. away from football, charlton was a man who enjoyed the rural life, especially as a

keen fisherman. while his garrulous nature and ready wit made him a chat staple. you are the seamy age as me, would you believe. i was told you were a bit older than me. believe. i was told you were a bit olderthan me. i remember going to believe. i was told you were a bit older than me. i remember going to a cricket match and watching you report on, i was only 15. his relationship with his brother had become strained after a family dispute, but on an emotional night in 2008 he presented an award to the player he still regarded as the best. when we were kids used to go to the park and play and we were going for dinner and he would stay on all day. bobby charlton is the greatest player i have ever seen, my brother. while he often lived in his brother's shadow, jack charlton's achievements, like the man, stood tall. 0ne achievements, like the man, stood tall. one of english football's biggest and best loved characters.

kat joins us now. for his family and friends, this is a very personal loss. for everyone else, this is a hero, a world cup winner. i world cup winner and of course that woke up when in 1966 will be what most people remember him for. for leeds united, such a player for them, him for. for leeds united, such a playerfor them, a him for. for leeds united, such a player for them, a record him for. for leeds united, such a playerfor them, a record number of appearances, 773 appearances for leeds. leeds fans voted him into their best ever 11 just a few years ago. he won with them to second division title, the first division title, the fa cup, the league cup over a 23 year period at the club. a remarkable club career, as well, for jack charlton. he is one of the all—time great central defenders of the game, leeds united has said this morning about him. he

was overshadowed, even he said he was overshadowed, even he said he was overshadowed, by his brother, sir bobby charlton, the manchester united legend. bobby charlton signed up united legend. bobby charlton signed upfor united legend. bobby charlton signed up for manchester united when jack charlton was undergoing his national service. when he came back from that national service he was given a trial with leeds united, but he turned it down saying he wanted to go down the mines with his father, but he reconsidered the offer from leeds united. the rest is history. it was his mother who got him and the rest of the sons into football. his father apparently wasn't that interested in football, but his mother was a keen school football coach. she was the one that got her boys involved in playing football. after signing up for leeds united, he went on to play for england,

represented his country 35 times, playing in two world cups and the european championship. a successful managerial career followed pretty much straight after his retirement from playing. he led middlesbrough to the 1974 second division title, then sheffield wednesday to promotion. we had a spell at newcastle united. than that remarkable run to the quarterfinals of the 1990 world cup as the manager of the 1990 world cup as the manager of the 1990 world cup as the manager of the republic of ireland. they went to the european championships under him, and the 1994 world cup, before retiring completely from football in 1996. we have heard from leeds united, the club who have released the news this morning of jack charlton's death. it is a lengthy statement from them, listing all of his achievements, all of the key statistics of his remarkable career. it ends by saying his contribution to the game and

leeds united will never be forgotten. he will remain in football folklore forever and his records at leeds united are unlikely ever to be surpassed. naturally our thoughts are with jack's family and friends at this difficult time. they have released a statement from jack charlton's family. he was at home in northumberland with his family by his side, as well as a friend to many he was a much adored husband, father, grandfather and great—grandfather. you cannot express how proud we are of the extraordinary life he led and the pleasure he brought to so many people in different countries and from all walks of life. so this is the news that jack charlton has died at the age of 85. thank you. now we will update you on some other news this morning. mps have warned that young people in england risk missing out on the grades they deserve

after exams were cancelled because of the coronavirus. a system of predicted grades is being used instead, but the education committee says it risks inaccuracy and bias against pupils from less affluent groups and ethnic minority backgrounds. dan johnson reports. while some pupils may be back in school, nobody is doing exams this summer. instead, grades will be given by teachers based on expected performance, taking into account mock exam results and coursework. grades are then standardised across england by the regulator, 0fqual. that ensures grades are roughly in line with previous years, but parliament's education committee warns the system could be unfair and may discriminate against some pupils, echoing other concerns.

we are worried that the system that has been devised by aft call does not reflect that. 0fqual told us its standardisation process was designed so students weren't disadvantaged. any who are unhappy with the grade they are awarded can opt to sit an exam in the autumn. dan johnson, bbc news. 0utdoor pools are allowed to open their doors today. despite the government giving the green light on thursday, just four out of more than 100 outdoor pools in england are expected to reopen. let's find out why from our correspondent, ben bland, who is at charlton lido in south—east london. it isa it is a beautiful morning pair. those swimmers who have been waiting quite some time are back in the water. yes, indeed. there

are some very happy people in the pool here this morning. they are amongst the first in england to be able to get back on the water after weeks and months of waiting. this outdoor pool in south—east london is one of the few that has been able to get people backin few that has been able to get people back in the water, to open up again after lockdown, because they only find out just after lockdown, because they only find outjust a matter of days ago that they have been given the green light to the government to do so. a lot of hard work has gone on behind the scenes to make this happen. there is an online booking system, time slots for everyone, a one—way system in place. have a look at the lanes, they are double the weight that they normally are, to allow people to socially distance. excuse me, hello, what is it like being able to get back to natural this time? glorious. i've had a slipped

disc and it is beyond brilliant to be back. it is absolutely amazing, i can't describe the benefits. we can see the beaming smile on your face. yes, she mentioned, if it wasn't great enough to be back in the water, they have done can get over them. good morning. it is notjust them. good morning. it is notjust the physical side, there is also the psychological benefits of being able to get back in. swimming is well known to be the best form of physical exercise you can do, but it is also incredibly mentally therapeutic. you get in the pool, threw up all the normal things you have, you dive in and you couldn't be further away from the life you have outside. astronauts

train in the water because it is the closest to being an off world experience. on a sunny day like this, where else would you like to be? indeed. this only applies to bills in england's. there are more than 100 outdoor pools, but only a handful have been able to get ready in time. add lots of work has gone on and they are asking people to bear in mind the sensible steps to keep us all safe. well, i mean chlorine kills bacteria, so the water is safe, it is the outside bets that are difficult, the changing rooms. for people in the pool, obviously giving a bit of distance is a bit of respect. just keeping everybody safe. when you look at it, we are an island of swimmers. we have more people swimming, over...

just under a third of the population swim. that is more than run, go to the gym, thatis is more than run, go to the gym, that is what we do as a nation. there are a lot of people who aren't very good on land, he will be going, yes! some people, while waiting for the gym to reopen in a couple of weeks, might be tempted to take up swimming. first of all, they should ring up and book a slot. the customer experience will be better, anyway. when you get in, go back to how you felt as a kid, how great the water feels, built a love of the water. don't thrash up and down, that can come later. duncan, thank you very much indeed. doesn't it look so inviting? are you tempted?

it does look absolutely lovely. that lady you spoke to, it is so nice to see people really enjoying those moments. we are trying to keep you up—to—date with what opens well. it varies across the uk. we can speak now to the first minister of wales mark dra keford. what has changed today in wales. i suppose it really comes down to the tourist industry, that may feel it is getting a boost. well, self—contained accommodation is reopening in wales today. i am here in the vale of glamorgan. it is the most beautiful day, you couldn't imaginea most beautiful day, you couldn't imagine a more perfect day to reopen

the tourist industry. i have been meeting and seeing as set of self—contained accommodation with the owners have taken all the precautions that we would hope in order to be able to welcome visitors safely back to wales. what are the restrictions for this self contained accommodation? just looking through the various restrictions, but basically, they have to be ensuite to be open, is that correct? that's right, that's the essential thing, you need to have your own kitchen and bathroom. as here, steps are then taken to make sure the people have all the information they need, reminded about the simple things that we all need to do to keep one another safe, then to go and have a really good time. can i talk to you about face coverings? we have been having a discussion on this programme with various people this morning about the prayer ministry? comments on face coverings, saying that there is a

change in the balance of scientific evidence being presented, and it has been mooted that we might be moving towards making them mandatory in shops. this is already happening in scotland. is that something that is likely to come into effect in wales? well, we are in the same proposition, we don't make facemasks mandatory in the shops in wales, although people are very welcome to use them if they feel they are making a contribution to the safety of others. as the debate unfolds and the science altars, we reviewed all the science altars, we reviewed all the time. if we reach a point where it would be sensible to do that, thatis it would be sensible to do that, that is what we will do. we don't think we have got to that point yet. chief medical officer are still of the view that face coverings should be recommended, but not required, but we keep it

constantly under review. i am caught the prime minister, the balance of scientific opinion seems to have shifted more in favour of face coverings than it was. if the scientific, the balance of scientific opinion has shifted, and the assumption is you'll have to the same science, do you not agree that the balance has shifted? well, i think the balance is shifting, rather than unique could say it has decisively shifted. this is an area where eminent scientists have very different points of view. it is not an area where there is one decisive way of doing things. i agree that, as time goes on, there is more emerging on the side of supporting face coverings in public, but i don't think it is decisive yet, so we will follow the debate. in the

debate reaches a point, if it does, where the advice changes, then the position will change in wales. what does decisive look like? decisive looks like the point where the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. there are disadvantages. there are disadvantages to face coverings, as well. evidence of when people wear them they behave in ways that are more risky than when they are not, that people somehow believe that wearing a face covering in fair some sort of immunity from coronavirus, it certainly doesn't do that. we spoke to professor tom solomon and to that point to him that perhaps people would feel less cautious and not observe social distancing rules as carefully, perhaps they would touch their face as carefully, perhaps they would touch theirface more as carefully, perhaps they would touch their face more wearing face coverings, which is one of the concerns. professor tom solomon is sad that that was the theory early on when there wasn't any evidence, no practical evidence because

we we re no practical evidence because we were at the beginning of the pandemic, but is the time goes on that scientific theory has not been refuted. well, i saw evidence only last week from the united states that said the opposite, so evidence doesn't point you in a straightforward one direction. i saw evidence last week, a survey tonne of people and a public setting where the research said people not wearing face masks behaved responsibly, people who wearing —— were wearing face coverings were more likely to ignore social distancing, that is one bit of evidence. that is why i say what we do is to weigh it all up, take advice from our chief medical officer. when the weight of evidence changes, if it does, then

we will change our policy, but we will not change our policy on the basis of individual interviews with scientists who have particularly strong views on the subject. we have to look at it in the round. we are learning a lot of the time. if we learned that wearing face coverings in public should be mandated, then we will follow that evidence in wales. do you get scientific evidence from scotland, which in some ways has been more stringent in some ways has been more stringent in some ways has been more stringent in some ways than england. do you follow that behaviour, because surely that would be closer to uk behaviour, welsh behaviour, then abroad? we follow evidence from wherever it comes, certainly from within the united kingdom, but evidence from overseas is very important, as well. we are looking

very carefully at what is happening in the southern hemisphere as they go into winter, with all the warnings we have about the way coronavirus operates in the cold and in the dark. capping evidence from wherever you can, as long as it is good evidence, scientifically rigorous evidence, is the way we do things in wales. i speak very regularly to the first minister of scotland, sharing evidence between what is happening there and what is happening in wales. learning from one another is a very important part of how we make the best decisions we can right across the united kingdom. mark directorate, first minister of wales, thank you very much for talking to us this morning. lots of people have plans today. what picture will depend for us with the weather, darren? currently, blue skies. this picture was taken in oxfordshire, just

a bit of fairweather cloud building up. we will see more of that over the coming few hours as it warms up. the picture is more cloudy across some parts of scotland, but it is generally dry. the weather was much improved because we have higher pressure dominating across the uk. this weather from sneaking into the north—west, but not until the end of sunday. we have the continuation of the test match in southampton. this time it will be blue skies, lots of sunshine and light winds. lighter winds today, but we are blowing in some cloud already to north—western parts of the uk, with one or two showers. in the next few hours we will see fairweather cloud bubbling up. there will still be good spells of sunshine. always a bit more cloud on the westerly breeze coming into northern ireland and scotland. showers in the north—west of scotland. temperature is about 17 degrees this afternoon, scotland and northern ireland a bit

warmer than that. the cloud melting away this evening and will be a lovely end to the day for england and wales. more cloud further north over night, rain affecting the far north of scotland for a while, but that should clear away but the end of the night. these are the temperatures we are looking up are the temperatures we are looking upfor are the temperatures we are looking up for the morning. in rural areas it will be a little bit cooler than these numbers. at high pressure in charge for a sunday, we can look forward to more dry weather and some sunshine. it will be a sunny day across wales, the midlands and some in england. some fairweather cloud building up in the northern half of the uk. this we are not really arriving into northern ireland until late afternoon, early evening. a lot of dry weather, some sunshine, warm in the sun comes out in the light winds and temperatures should be higher on sunday by a couple of degrees, probably making 24 and the south—east. for the beginning of next week, the high pressure getting squeezed by this weather front that will bring in the rain from

the north—west. that will bring rain into scotland and northern ireland tomorrow night. what is left of the rain moves down slowly into england and wales, so a bit of a change in the way. further north, more sunshine and showers. most of those will be across scotland, but the south—east and east anglia are likely to stay dry. behind what is left of that rent there will be cooler air arriving for tuesday and perhaps into wednesday, perhaps a few showers around, too, but on the whole the week ahead looks much drier and quieter. high pressure across the southern part of the uk, and we may find later on in the week that amateurs will rise, once again. looking good for most parts of the country. so darren thinks if you need to take a long journey, you need an apple. french nutritionists said they have come up with the ideal menu to stop motorists nodding off at the wheel.

the menu was a starter of radishes and cucumber, followed by whitefish and cucumber, followed by whitefish and lentils, then kiwi, with a chunk of 90% dark chocolate for dessert, all washed down with water. i know mac tablet is so interested in everything we say. what do you make of that menu? it sounds like a nice menu. is that a menu to keep me awake? yes, when you are driving, when you are taking long journeys, it is the optimal menu. martin kemp today. we will talk about your mockumentary and your new show. for now, talk about ingredients. i have got loads of stuff. i have got some nice

keel. some ginger. spinach. what can you do with it? is that your actual kitchen or is that a soul kitchen? this is my kitchen. it does not look like there is much work going on. we have two great chefs also.” like there is much work going on. we have two great chefs also. i have got peppers stuffed with brown rice. what have you got? fresh peas, mint, cured ham. nice. have you got some drinks for us? yes. i am on the coffee at the moment but i will be on the wine later. don't forget, at home you are in charge of what i will be cooking later. i will see you at ten. hello, this

is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. in the last hour, it has been announced that english footballing legend jack charlton has died. he passed away last night at his home in northumberland with his family by his side. the former player and manager played as a defender and was part of the england team that won the 1966 world cup. andy swiss looks back on his life. few have blended courage and charisma quite like jack charlton. as a player and manager and as part of english football's most famous family. perfect goal. charlton grew up in northumberland and after a brief spell as a miner opted for a career in football along with his younger brother bobby. while bobby's attacking flair soon made him a star, jack's defensive qualities were rather

less glamorous. came in like a brick wall and he is hurt. despite his bravery he always admitted he was no match for his brother. you should not compare as. i cannot play. i can stop other people playing. bobby can play. he is a creative player. there is a place in the game for both types. it was a point he proved very successfully. charlton's power helped him score goals as well as stop them. he spent his entire playing career at leeds united, winning the league title in the 1969. he was not called up for england until he was nearly 30. he soon england until he was nearly 30. he soon made his mark, scoring his first international goal against finland in 1966. and it is a goal. one month later came his defining moment, both he and bobby part of a tea m moment, both he and bobby part of a team which lifted the

world cup. the brothers were now both international celebrities. after 35 caps and more than 600 appearances for leeds united, charlton eventually retired asa united, charlton eventually retired as a player in 1973, before embarking on the next stage of his career. he was firstly a manager at middlesbrough where his passion and personality proved an instant hit. if the ball is coming towards you and he is going back, there is no way you are going tojump. and he is going back, there is no way you are going to jump. he guided them towards promotion before spells with sheffield wednesday and newcastle united. it is as manager of republic of ireland he will be most colourfully remembered. after taking them to their first ever world cup in 1990 charlton's team produced the shock of the judgment by the quarterfinals. ireland, they are in the next stage, the party can begin. the english hero was now an irish one also. at the

1984 finals despite receiving a touchline ban he guided ireland to the last 16, before two years later he resigned and effectively retired. away from football charlton was a man who enjoyed the adult life, especially as a keen fisherman. —— who enjoyed the outdoors life. i got told you were a bit older than me. his relationship with his brother had become strained after a family dispute. but on an emotional night in 2008 he presented an award to the player he still regards as the base. when we were kids and were used to go to the park and play i would go home for dinner, he would stay on all day. bobby charlton was the greatest player i have ever seen. the greatest player i have ever seen. and my brother. while he

often lived in his brother's shadowjack charlton's achievements, like the man, stood tall. one of english football's biggest and best loved characters. kat joins us now. the first thing to see is for family and friends, a very sad time for them, for so many other people, this isa them, for so many other people, this is a world cup hero. you step beyond the sport as well. some players and football managers do. he was funny. self—deprecating. genuine. you just have to watch all those clubs in that report to appreciate the kind of person he was. the tributes pouring in on the social media reflect that part of his personality as well. the real personality of the game. while he himself downplayed his abilities. you cannot ignore the fact that he was a world cup winner. he was

part of that 1966 world cup winning squad. he spent his entire career with leeds united, making a club record 773 appearances. 23 years as a player he spent with that club, one of the all—time great defenders of the game. he was initially introduced to football, he and his brother, by their mother. their father apparently was not very interested in football. it was his mother who was a school football coach you got them into playing football. at 15 years old he was offered a trial with leeds united. and given a place in the development squad. he tied that place down because he said he would rather pursue a career down the mines. he tried that, realise it was not a pleasa nt tried that, realise it was not a pleasant way to spend your working life and instead reconsidered that offer from leeds united. life and instead reconsidered that offerfrom leeds united. the rest is history, he won with them the

second division title, first division title, if a cap, league cup, went on to make 773 appearances. he also had spells at other clubs as well. after his retirement he went on to lead middlesbrough to the second division title as well. and sheffield united, he led them to promotion. had a speu he led them to promotion. had a spell at newcastle united as well. we saw his colourful years as the republic of ireland manager, that remarkable run to the quarterfinals of the 1990 world cup. that was the republic of ireland's first ever appearance at a world cup. he is being very much remembered with warmth on the other side of the irish sea this morning. he also took them to their euros and another world cup in 1994, before retiring from football. leeds united, his clu b from football. leeds united, his club for his entire career, has said this morning that his contribution to the game and two lead united

will never be forgotten. he will remain in football folklore forever and his records at leeds united are unlikely ever to be surpassed. thank you. tributes to jack charlton have been pouring in. his grandaughter, emma wilkinson, tweeted "beyond sad "to have to say goodbye to my beloved grandad, "jack charlton. "he enriched so many lives through football, "friendship and family. "he was a kind, funny and thoroughly genuine man and ourfamily "will miss him enormously." the fa wrote:

ireland's football association tweeted: we can speak now to former england player peter shilton. good morning. this news coming through in the last hour or so. your paths crossed with jack trout sent many a time. when it came to football, i was reading one of the fa cts . football, i was reading one of the facts. —— pat crossed with jack charlton many times. —— path is crossed. he played in every game in the 1966 world cup. i was very fond of jack. another one of the 1966 world cup squad to have died. he will

obviously be remembered very fondly. he was a great character. i was in the england squad with him at the end of his career, at the start of mine. i played against him. he was very underrated as a player. he was very underrated as a player. he was very dominant in the air. he had more ability than people give him credit for. it was just his character and the way he was that made him so fond. he was a good leader as well. his family has released a statement and one of the things in the statement was, he was a thoroughly honest, kind, funny and genuine man who always had time for people. i wonder if you could reflect on some of the interactions you had, maybe when he was one of the established members of the squads? yes, i went to mexico,

the year before the 1970 world cup and i was in the 1970 world cup squad. funnily enough, jack was always quiet. he was always reading books. i always got on well with him. he a lwa ys i always got on well with him. he always spoke his mind. i always listens to what he had to see. he could be a bit fiery at times. if somebody lit the wrong views he could be a bit fiery in that respect. but i liked him very much. we were in opposition in the world cup in1990, we were in opposition in the world cup in 1990, england against related violence. he is so loved in ireland, the way he treated people. —— england against republic of ireland. he had the old school mentality. he did not mind players having a few beers at a certain time, a bit like brian clough and i was at nottingham

forest. but he got the very best out of players when he was a manager. players loved him. he cut the corners. he was a coach but he did not get too complicated. it isa not get too complicated. it is a lovely hearing your recollections of the great man. the impression i am getting. you tell me more, he won the world cup. this accolade, the dream of all footballers. from what i am hearing is that he wore that quite lightly ina way, is that he wore that quite lightly in a way, in the sense that he did not inflate his own self in relation to football, in many ways played it down. yes. he realised, ithink in one of the clips they are, bobby was the one that could play, he could stop players playing. maybe he did not quite get the credit for the job he did. a lot of defenders do

not. but he was a vital part. the ability to win the ball in the air. i played against him. he always used to go to the near post. they used to swing the near post. they used to swing the ball in. as a goalkeeper you used to go and try and get it and punchit used to go and try and get it and punch it away, you could not catch it. he got the nickname of the giraffe because his neck used to stretch about four inches. he used to flick it onto the far post and then have a player running n, and scored a lot of goals that be. he was tremendously good in the air. and obviously a very good defender. the other thing of course, family was so the other thing of course, family was so important to him. yes. he was a character. he was a bit of a loner and a b. he likes to go fishing and things like that. —— bit

of a loner ina things like that. —— bit of a loner in a way. he kept himself to himself a lot of the time. he was someone, when you met him, he was very formidable to me, there is big jack. everything he said there was always a meaning to it. you always listened intently to jack. it has been lovely talking to you this morning. thank you for sharing some of your reminiscences. here's darren with a look at this morning's weather. fear whether on the way. we have been looking forward to drier weather and sunshine. a bit of fear whether cloud is bubbling up and that will continue to be the case as temperatures rise in the next couple of hours. some of that

in scotland already. there will still be sunshine. high pressure is responsible for the upturn in fortunes. eventually we will see rain in the north—west but not until the end of sunday. for the crickets, no sign of rain in southampton today. winds will be quite light as well. some cloud across north—western areas. cloud is weaning to bubble up elsewhere as well as temperatures rise. more cloud coming into scotland and northern ireland. showers merely towards the north—west of scotland. lighter winds when the sun comes out. it will feel warmer. warmer through the midlands. the lovely end to the day for england and wheels as the cloud melts away. more cloud continuing overnight. these are

at the temperatures in towns and cities. it was chilly this morning in rural areas cities. it was chilly this morning in ruralareas and cities. it was chilly this morning in rural areas and it will be tomorrow morning as well. high pressure in charge on sunday. under the centre of high pressure more sunshine than today. some build up of cloud again through the day. fear whether cloud on sunday. —— fear whether cloud on sunday. —— fear whether cloud. temperatures will be higher, a couple of degrees higher than today. high pressure gets squeezed a little bit as we move into the beginning of next week. rain overnight into scotland and northern ireland. what is left of the rain, they will not be much, heading into england and wales. behind that, sunshine and

showers. south—east of england and east anglia may stay dry through the day. behind that band of cloud and patchy rain there is cooler air. that will move down across the country by the time we get into tuesday. temperatures not as high on tuesday. there may be showers as well. on the whole next week looks like it will be drier, there will be some sunshine around. average temperatures may get warmer by the end of the week. have a good weekend. thank you. amateur crickets, so many people will be happy to get out and play the game that they love. we will talk about crickets. this is a difficult task and you are going to ta ke a difficult task and you are going to take this on. in the last hour

or so we to take this on. in the last hour or so we heard the sad news that jack charlton has passed away at the age of 85. his success with the ireland team, and! of 85. his success with the ireland team, and i ask you this because you we re team, and i ask you this because you were born and bred in galway, and i know that when the news came through you were very upset because he was truly cherished fear. probably still is. yes. he holds a special place in irish peoples hearts. when the news came through i felt a lump in my throat. my childhood was spent watching the game of football and it was all through the prism of the republic of ireland team. in the late 19805 and the 19905 whenjack charlton wa5 late 19805 and the 19905 whenjack charlton was in charge for those ten years there was an unprecedented level of success that we had never seen level of success that we had never seen before. our tiny little i5land5 competing in the euro5, competing in italia 90 and the world cup in 94.

that is the freshman that i really remember and bought into. it was a lwa y5 remember and bought into. it was alway5 jack charlton on the 5idelines. how we manage the teams and dealt with the players are dealt with the people in ireland. even when they came back on their comeback tours after getting to the quarterfinals in italia 90 and the knockout stages in the uac. we were celebrating that. there was always a 5pecial connection with jack charlton. he got us. he got the republic of ireland playing a brand of football that was brilliant. it was an unparalleled level of success i think forfootball was an unparalleled level of success i think for football fans in ireland. it is very sad news obviously about jack charlton. i have been getting messages from the bowl. —— messages from people. that return of recreational cricket in england. we were at the cricket pitch at weaver tree cricket
