a knife edge in the polish election. three members of the indian actor's family three members of the indian actor's fa m ily test three members of the indian actor's family test positive for coronavirus. good evening and welcome to bbc news. the senior cabinet minister michael gove says he does not think face coverings should become mandatory inside shops in england — because he trusts people's common sense and wearing a mask in confined spaces is basic good manners. two days ago the prime minister said he thought a "stricter" approach was needed on face coverings — in scotland they are

compulsory in shops. it comes as a further 21 people have died in hospitals, care homes and the wider community across the uk over the past 2a hours after testing positive for coronavirus. it brings the total number of uk deaths from covid—19 to 114,819. our business correspondent katy austin reports on the latest signals from government — and the desire to revive economic activity. face coverings are now a common sight in public places. some shoppers were wearing them in huddersfield today. i think it's safer, from all the advice that the people have been given, that it's becoming more airborne. especially in small shops, i believe it should be worn, yeah. customers don't have to wear masks in stores but this cake shop owner prefers them to. we had a customer in a few weeks ago who wasn't wearing a mask, and they had their money in their mouth, so it's... we've got a virus going on it so

it's not supposed to be like this, but i feel if they had masks on they will be more controlled with their actions and everything. scotland is currently the only part of the uk where wearing face coverings in shops is mandatory. the uk government is considering the same role for england. ——rule. on friday the prime minister talked of needing to be stricter about face masks in confined spaces. however, senior cabinet minister michael gove told the bbc today, in his opinion, a law wasn't necessary. on the whole, you know, my view is that it is always better to trust people's common sense, to give them a clear sense of what is wise, and i think that individuals and businesses are responding well to that lead. but labour's rachel reeves supports compulsory face coverings and shops. i think it would inspire greater confidence and might encourage more people to go out and spend money if they see more people wearing face masks in shops. the trade body for independent shops isn't convinced the measure

would on its own boost weak consumer confidence. there is no evidence that wearing masks suddenly will increase footfall in shops, and i think that's the concern. without any evidence, there's a fear it could become a barrier to shopping instead of an enhancement. businesses welcome measures that will protect public health. they are desperate to avoid a further lockdown in the run—up to christmas, however retailers question how tougher rules on face coverings would be enforced. and we'll find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10.30 and 11.30 this evening in the papers. our guestsjoining me tonight are the broadcaster and psychotherapist, lucy beresford and john renotul, chief political commentator at the independent. let me bring you some breaking news from poland on the run up of the

presidential election. the exit polls have just come out because the polling stations closed within the last five minutes. we get the exit polls pretty quickly. it looks like, at the moment, assuming they are accurate that president duda... these are live pictures from the scene, you can probablyjudge from the enthusiastic waving, that is duda on the stage taking the congratulations, because the exit polls suggest he has taken 58.4% of the boat, with the mayor of warsaw, his rival, the favourite candidate of the opposition —— of the boot, getting 49.6%. of the vote. that —— 58.4%. "50.11.

it is possible that these are not the full vigour and exit polls can be wrong. but he looks delighted. the pictures you are seeing now are from earlier. —— the full picture. mr duda is regarded as an ally of law and justice, the ruling party. what makes it critically interesting if he has been re—elected, he has been a criticalfigure in many would use the powers of office to push through some controversial reforms, not least changes to the judiciary, retirement age, accusations that the government has been packing the court with sympathisers, taking control of seniorjobs in state broadcasting, for example. that there has been a climate in which there has been a climate in which the politics and influence of government has gone widely. he has been criticised by that —— on that

by liberals in the light. it has been a tight contest, but if he has w011 been a tight contest, but if he has won it, you will feel newly emboldened. we'll have more on that during the course of the next few hours. —— he will feel newly emboldened. 73 people have tested positive for coronavirus at a farm in herefordshire. about 200 people work as pickers and packers at the farm in mathon — between hereford and worcerster. during harvesting, they live in mobile homes on site, so as a precaution, all workers there are being asked to self—isolate within their households. joan cummins reports. workers walking to the perimeter of the vegetable form today to get food supplies delivered to them by the local authorities. more than 200 have been confined to the farm after 73 tested positive for covid—19, following a mass testing of all the pickers and packers on thursday. there was one individual and then another small group of individuals were symptomatic. we did proactive mass testing

for those who worked on site and that's due to their cooperation. i think we are constantly learning about covid—19 and it is still a relatively new virus and people can get very mild symptoms that we don't even notice, and then there were very young population. all the workers were mainly eastern european or being treated as a single—family bubble. those whi tested positive are being separated from the rest on site and the leader of the council says that he is confident that there is no risk to the wider community. we have dealt with it and we hope it is isolated to this one form. the message is that the locked on been lifted and they told us, we urge residents to keep wearing masks and keeping safe because the virus is not gone away and we need to keep looking after each other.

debra and public health england are all working on extra guidance for the food production industry —— defra, but the advice remains the same for all communities. social distancing and good hygiene are the best ways of combating the disease and preventing its spread. earlier we heard from the local mp for the area, the conservative bill wiggin. my colleague tim willcox asked him if he was concerned by the outbreak. these workers tend to keep to themselves. but by and large, i don't think the community has been put at risk and i think this just shows systems that we have to identify and protect are actually working.

so it is a large number, i think the authorities have acted wisely and i think it shows the system is working. these pickers and packers would be deemed as key workers. did they have ppe? they pick broccoli and i think they use a knife. you say that, but if they are in the packing shed...? i am afraid i do not know what the conditions are like, but i imagine that you interviewed the farmers and they will be able to tell you. it has to be quite careful about this kind of generalisation with people like this they are asymptomatic, they are young, they are healthy and the good thing is that we are picking up the virus as and when. personally, i have had coronavirus. it is a horrible thing and i would not wish it on my worst enemy. but i think we can only do our best in these extremely difficult circumstances and i'm delighted

with what the local authority and public health england have been doing to keep everybody safe. they picked it up, they've isolated everyone and they're doing everything necessary to co—operate and behave and i think it is a great effort at a very difficult and worrying time for all of us. what happens over the next week and to people who have been in contact with them? i think we have the situation under control and ask anyone who has been in contact left the self—isolate for how long it takes for the disease to incubate at that point, if they get ill, the nhs is there waiting. because we protected it we are in a good position to actually help those who are seriously ill if they become seriously ill.

it is the people of my age generally who are more at risk than these young ha rd—working fruit and vegetable pickers. does the harvest continue? i hope so, because otherwise we won't have anything to eat and we look at what they have been doing in most to work outside, i think that there's no reason why should not. let's return to poland and the exit poll in the presidential run—off between duda and his rival the mayor of warsaw. both men have very distinct and different views on the future of poland. it illustrates the polarised politics there. duda represents the young and apparently moderate face of the ruling party. he is roman catholic and says he

wa nts to he is roman catholic and says he wants to define what he calls the traditionalfamily wants to define what he calls the traditional family model. he wants to define what he calls the traditionalfamily model. he is supposed to abortion and gay rights. but he does support the government's extensive welfare scheme, which encourages families to have more children. his rival, who is the same age, represents the more liberal wing of his party, or at least of the party endorsing. he has taken pa rt the party endorsing. he has taken part in lgbt q marches. he generally perform well, as it was his party, in large metropolitan cities. let's talk to are correspondent in warsaw. this result from the exit poll, it's very close. it is within the margin of error, isn't it? there to see? the closest race since communism endedin the closest race since communism ended in poland, the closest previous was five years ago when duda won by a margin of 3%. this is

zero point eight percentage points in the lead, the first exit poll that comes out immediately after the polling stations closed. we are going to get, in about five hours' time, a late exit poll, which will perhaps give us a better indication, but at the moment, as you say, the margin of error is about two percentage points either way, so it is too close to sea at 0.8 whether we know who will be the next president pulled into the next five yea rs. president pulled into the next five years. certainly president duda has been speaking and he speaking right now. “— been speaking and he speaking right now. —— the next president of poland. he has not proclaimed himself as the winner of this election officially. we are going to have to wait and see, from this slater exit poll. and then we got the actual vote count i think a

monday morning —— this later exit poll. we'll probably have the bulk of the votes counted. because of the coronavirus pandemic, many polish people are voting in the uk, in the usa and those are postal votes and those will take longer to probably count. that's why the electoral commission in poland has given themselves 48 hours are from the close of the polling stations to actually release the official results. at the moment, to host a say. what we can say is, it is the closest race say. what we can say is, it is the closest ra ce eve i’. say. what we can say is, it is the closest race ever. president duda is in the pole position, but not by very much, and this is also the highest turnout. of the exit poll is to believed —— highest turnout. of the exit poll is to believed -- the expo is to blame, since 1989 as well. he was on the way has not longer. in terms of the impact of the presidency, it is more

than just impact of the presidency, it is more thanjust a impact of the presidency, it is more than just a civil role, it has some significant potential political powers. —— he was in the white house not long ago. taylor in polling, the government has the main power. but... the president can actually propose his own legislation. president duda is an ally of the governing party, of the government. if he proposes legislation, it is more likely to be passed. the key thing here is the president has the power to veto legislation. therefore, the parliament, the governing party in parliament does not have the sufficient majority to overturn that presidential veto. if mr trzaskowski wins, he could overturn that presidential veto. if mr government's, s, he could overturn that presidential veto. if mr government's, as he could overturn that presidential veto. if mr government's, as you ould overturn that presidential veto. if mr government's, as you say, the government's, as you say, sometimes controversial attempt to ta ke sometimes controversial attempt to take greater control of the judiciary, for example, which the

european union has described as undermining the independence of the judiciary and the rule of law in poland. if president duda were to win, we don't have a general election every three years, the government will have free rein to continue what it says it wants to finish, is reform of thejudiciary, which will lead to more strain in the relations with the european union and a more rocky relation ship with, basely, its european partners. it is not just with, basely, its european partners. it is notjust the judicial, with, basely, its european partners. it is notjust thejudicial, other independent institutions, such as the public media. it is supposed to be impartial but has been turned into basically a mouthpiece for the government at the moment. there are certainly concerns outside poland about the role that the government is taking and president duda, who supports those moves as well. if he doesn't win, were going to see it as harmonious and rocky relationship

between an opposition president and the government for the next three yea rs. the government for the next three years. thank you very much. you'll hear more from adam during the course of the evening here. there is a special programme here from 11 tonight looking at the outcome of that presidential election, insofar as it will be known by then. and the sound of it, you may be some time before we can confirm the result. lots of reaction from supporters and opponents of president duda. that's here on bbc news at 11. to mask or not to mask? cabinet office minister michael gove says face coverings should not be mandatory in england. 73 people test positive for coronavirus at a farm in herefordshire — all workers at the farm have been asked to self—isolate. as walt disney world reopens in florida, the state posts a rise of more than 15000 virus cases — its biggest daily increase to date

sport now and a full round up from the bbc sport centre. good evening. england lost the first test of the summer, losing by four wickets to the west indies in southampton today. the visitors haven't won a series here in over 30 years but take a 1—0 lead into the second test at old trafford. in what is a busy summer of cricket ahead, following months without it. here's our sports correspondent, joe wilson. on the fifth day southampton waited for a matchwinner. how about jofra archer? whoa, jofra! his first blows were with the bat, increasing england's lead. the west indies would need 200 to win when england and archer bowled. next blow — tojohn campbell's toe. too painfulfor him to continue —

and then for the stumps. kraigg brathwaite, the first man out. sharmarh brooks, the next. lbw, west indies, seven for two. the target, 200, seemed like 2000. wood got rid of hope... but here'sjermaine blackwood, batting like he was the man to change the game. he may well have been given out if buttler had caught this. he didn't. what now, captain? anderson... ..to blackwood, to the boundary. they would have been on the edge of these empty seats, had stokes got dowrich out. four runs closer. it took so much to get cricket restarted and this match deserved this

finish — thrilling. to the day's premier league football and there was derby delight for tottenham hotspur and manager jose mourinho. they came from behind to beat north london rivals arsenal. toby alderwiereld's late header enough to secure a 2—1win — jose mourinho keeping up his record of having never lost thought before the game, nor| the i thought before the game, normally the team that wins derbies are the tea m the team that wins derbies are the team where the players, two to be honest i think they also did it. they were competitive and give their best. but my boys, with 48 hours left to prepare for the derby, which i think is very unfair... even with that, i think the boys were fantastic in their commitment and i think they deserve the victory. aston villa secured a big win

in their fight to avoid relegation beating crystal palace 2—o. trezeguet with both goals for villa. they're now four points from safety with three games to go. that win piles more pressure on bournemouth.
