good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. our headlines today: 73 workers at a farm have tested positive for covid—19 as the health secretary reveals more than 100 localised outbreaks of covid are being dealt with every week. a further easing of lockdown in england as beauty salons, nail bars and tattoo parlours open their doors again. a long list of treatments remained banned. iam a long list of treatments remained banned. i am at one salon to find out more. the dust covers come off some of our finest treasures as the national trust reopens its properties. what's the appetite for a meal deal?

from today our favourite places to eat out can log—in to sign up to the government paying for half of your bill in august. back in the driving seat. lewis hamilton dominates from start to finish to take victory at the styrian grand prix. plus, after sunday sunshine, for many of you, a lot more cloud around and a bit of wet weather, too. i will have your full forecast here on brea kfast. it's monday the 13th ofjuly. our top story: around 200 seasonal workers have been quarantined on a vegetable farm in herefordshire after 73 of them tested positive for covid—i9. it comes as the health secretary matt hancock has revealed that more than 100 localised outbreaks of coronavirus are being dealt with "swiftly and silently" every week. we'll talk to our political correspondent chris mason in a moment, but first, let's speak to geeta pendse, who's outside the farm in mathon.

geeta, what's the latest? good morning. yes, as you said, 200 workers are self—isolating on this farm which isjust workers are self—isolating on this farm which is just west of malvern. it produces vegetables like broccoli and beans. a couple of workers he showed symptoms of covid—i9 so they tested everyone working on the farm and 73 tested positive which is why they have created this farm lockdown, if you like. during harvesting, it is really normal for workers to live on mobile sites that are on the farms. they have essentially created this extent —— extended rubble and they are not allowed to leave the farm while they are self isolated. there are food deliveries and as we understand it, while public health england has said this is the first serious outbreak onafarm, this is the first serious outbreak on a farm, local health officials are confident that there is not a

threat to the wider community and that the outbreak has been contained. the company that owns this farm say that the welfare of their staff are —— is a priority and as it stands, the farm is closed to the public. thank you, geeta. we will be back with you a little bit later on. let's speak now to our political correspondent chris mason. chris, according to the health secretary this sort of localised outbreak could be happening more than we realised? and we're also expecting an announcement from the home secretary on how the uk's points—based immigration will work today? it was interesting hearing what we have there and what we have to get used to in this stage of the pandemic. we heard a lot a few weeks ago a backtrack and tracy in england and similar schemes with slightly different names around the uk. the idea being that you pounce on an individual local outbreak, find out who everyone who has got it has been in contact with and then isolate those people as well to ensure that it doesn't spread. so, let's have a look at how that is working. matt

hancock, the health secretary, has a piece in one of the newspapers this morning. he is in the daily telegraph. some interesting detail in this, saying that since track and trace was launched in england, just over a month ago, trace was launched in england, just overa month ago, it trace was launched in england, just over a month ago, it has reached 144,000 people, who have since had a period of self isolation. the vast majority of them will not have had the disease themselves. he said that with this more targeted action, it means that plenty of other areas of the economy and society can start opening up as has been happening in the last week or so. and then crucially, towards the tail end of the article, he says that each week there has been more than 100 local actions taken across the country. some of these will make the news, as we've just been hearing, some of these will make the news, as we'vejust been hearing, but some of these will make the news, as we've just been hearing, but many more are dealt with swiftly and silently. this is thanks, in large parts, to the incredible efforts of local authorities i am going to find out as the morning goes on exactly what he means by 100 local actions. how big is an outbreak to qualify for the word," outbreak" was up i am

not really sure but we will have to give you an idea of how this track and trace process is working. perhaps on a smaller scale, elsewhere around the country. we are also expecting information today about how —— how the new points —based immigration system is going to work. brexit, remember that? no! i used to sit in this seat every day and talk about nothing else and it has pretty much disappeared as a new story for the last six months, for obvious reasons. as you say, massive issue with the referendum campaign four years ago. the government's big plan is that the right of a migrant who want to come to the uk will be the same wherever they are from in the same wherever they are from in the world. once in the eu, people in the world. once in the eu, people in the year you got preference. having left the eu and left the transition period at the end of this year, that will change so it will be a points —based system and you will be able to get in depending on your

qualifications. there will be priority for people working in health and social care, your level of english, the likely salary you will receive from the job you have in yourfield. will receive from the job you have in your field. busy day, thanks very much indeed, chris. assaults on emergency services workers could result in longer jail terms, under plans being considered by the government. the maximum sentence for such offences in england and wales is currently 12 months — but ministers want to double it to two years. if approved, it would be the second increase since 2018. the government has launched an information campaign asking us to plan ahead after the brexit transition period ends on december 31st. this is the moment. a new start. now the uk has left the eu. time to set oui’ course as we the uk has left the eu. time to set our course as we transition to a new relationship. the adverts include advice on travel insurance and passport rules for uk holidaymakers and guidance for britons living in the eu, as well as eu citizens living in the uk. it starts today on tv, radio,

online, print and billboards. florida has registered a record number of coronavirus cases in a single day for a us state, with more than 15,000 people testing positive in just 24 hours. the state is thought to be particularly vulnerable to the virus because of its elderly population and reliance on tourism. here's our us correspondent peter bowes. another surge in coronavirus cases and a new epicentre for the disease. florida is now seeing more new infections than most countries. across the us, more than 60,000 new cases are being reported every day and about a quarter of them are in the sunshine state, where the hospital system is under growing strain and some intensive care facilities are at full capacity. when the pandemic started, florida was slow to respond. the beaches and bars stayed open. they were eventually forced

to close but reopened early, only to be shut down again. this is a state dogged by the disease and confusion over how to deal with it. even as the numbers rose over the weekend, disney world opened again to the public — mickey mouse at a distance and mandatory face masks for visitors — but the republican governor ron desantis has refused to issue a state—wide order for people to cover their faces. there are some anti—mask activists who believe it's not necessary at all. the risks are very, very low. this virus has a 99.6% recovery rate. this is a virus that is very well contained. with other states like arizona, texas and california all facing worrying increases in the number of new cases, the trump administration is focusing on reopening schools in the autumn, despite opposition. i think everybody would like to get our kids back to school as quickly as we can but we also want to do it and make sure our kids will be

as safe as possible, so we're not going to be rushed into this. with a growing health crisis, a divided nation and a presidential election looming, the politics of dealing with covid—19 has never been more intense. peter bowes, bbc news, florida. the national trust is opening five of its houses today for the first time since lockdown — and another two by the end of the week. the charity says safety is paramount to the move, with measures in place to ensure social distancing. most of its parks and gardens were re—opened in earlyjune — and have already attracted more than a million visitors. do you want some zebra news? yes, please. cast your mind back five years and you may recall having many heated debates over the colour of a particular dress which was widely shared on social media. some of us swore it was white and gold, others insisted it was black and blue.

well, brace yourselves for the latest optical illusion to divide the internet. whose head is that? i guess you have to work out which is ever the head belongs to? i want to say the zebra on the right... i'm not sure. would it bea on the right... i'm not sure. would it be a head of a zebra with two bodies? i think i'm going to go with zebra on the right. i think it looks like the one on the right... whose headis like the one on the right... whose head is that? will be playing that every day on bbc breakfast! whose headis every day on bbc breakfast! whose head is that? hopefully there is some sort of aerial shot. hopefully we can get the answer. that would be a nice thing was a bit we actually

find out by the end of the programme. beauty salons, nail bars and tattoo studios can re—open in england from today, but they'll have to follow strict safety rules and certain treatments remain off—limits. fiona lamdin is at a beauty spa in somerset to tell us more. what is happening there? good morning. yes, as you say, it is open. clients are already in full. how early is that? let me talk you through, first of all you have to put on a mask, like this. and then the first thing you have to do, you can see this is cordoned you can't march straight in. the best thing you have to do is make sure you have hand sanitised like that. we are all very used to doing that now. and before you can pass this cordoned, you have your temperature taken... 36.1. i am good to go. and then you

bring this apart and you are allowed inforyour bring this apart and you are allowed in for your treatment. 0ver bring this apart and you are allowed in for your treatment. over here, some clients already having their nails done. you can see behind the screens there. 0ver nails done. you can see behind the screens there. over to amanda, amanda, obviously you are wearing a visor. the salon is obviously looks very different to how it did pre— covert stop —— obviously the salon looks very different to how it did pre— covert. looks very different to how it did pre- covert. we have a screen up everywhere, pre- covert. we have a screen up everywhere , screens on pre- covert. we have a screen up everywhere, screens on the manicured desks, the reception area. so that staff and clients are protected. element obviously you are delighted to be open but very frustrated that there is a long list of treatments you are still not able to do yet. unfortunately for the beauty industry, there are still some treatments we can't do, none on the face which is probably about 50% of out face which is probably about 50% of our business. we are notjust a nail

salon, we are more than that. we do a lot of skin treatments here. also just down to basic threading. we weren't able to do it but we are so pleased we can open today. we were chatting earlier and you are saying it is really unfair, you feel it is unfair, that you can't have your eyebrows done but a man could have his beard trimmed. yes, when you look at it that way, it is not fair. a lot of ladies would like their facial threading done. i perhaps don't feel that a bid trim is as important as some ladies would find their threading. the government says they are putting the precautions in so that they are reducing the amount of time of face—to—face contact... 0h of time of face—to—face contact... oh and! of time of face—to—face contact... oh and i can understand that. hopefully very soon is just —— these restrictions will be lifted and we can run the salon as normal. fantastic, thank you. let us meet

some of your staff. hannah is busy. you have your gloves on, your visor. hannah, this is your first nails you have done for months. nice to be back into a routine. when you furloughed, what happened? it has been nice to have time off but but back with clients, it is really nice. what treatments have you missed? i do miss doing facials where we can make a client relaxed, really. yeah. how hard is it wearing a visor and gloves? you are not trained. obviously you can't see as clearly, you can't get as close that we have to make do with it and learn, really. let us go to abby. i have to say, your nails already look very smart but in the next half—an—hour, they are going to look even better. what is it like being one of the first clients back? limit amazing, i have been doing

everything myself which i have become a bit of a pro but i do love coming infora become a bit of a pro but i do love coming in for a bit of me time and the social side was up it is not —— lots of fun to come and be pampered. is it just as fun is itjust as fun coming in and wearing a mask? did you mind all the hand sanitiser and wearing a mask? no, it isjust the new normal. i don't mind at all if it means i can get my nails done. and it makes you feel safer. exactly. young it certainly feels very safe here. before we go, this ageing —— amazing machine. it is, i don't know the actual name for it that it is a de—fogger. they plug this in and it will completely clean and shoot stuff into the air and clean everything. all sorts of precautions here to make sure the salon can stay

open and stay covid free. here to make sure the salon can stay open and stay covid freelj here to make sure the salon can stay open and stay covid free. i like the idea of a fogging machine. very interesting. thank you to those lovely people who got up so early to get their nails done. that is an early nail appointment! if you had watched that six months ago, with people behind perspex greens with masks on, fi lamdin using an eight foot pole to interview people, but is the world we currently live in. you would have thought we'd stumbled into a science—fiction movie. it is very strange. it is 16 minutes past six. good morning. let's take a look some of today's papers. the metro's headline "clear up the mask muddle" — referencing the confusion over face coverings. the paper quotes cabinet minister michael gove saying they don't need to be made compulsory in england, just 36 hours after the prime minister promised a crackdown.

we will try to get some clarity on that for you this morning. the times is leading with a warning that the post—brexit era will bring a rise in holiday insurance costs. a new government information campaign launching today aims to raise awareness about how travelling from the uk will be different from next year. the daily telegraph is previewing the government's plans for its new points—based immigration system post—brexit. under the new rules, foreign criminals sentenced to more than a year injail will be banned from britain. the picture shows president trump wearing a face covering for the first time in public during the pandemic. and online, the i reports on a campaign to challenge ministers to stop customers smoking outdoors, in return for allowing pubs and cafes to serve drinks outside. campaigners are warning the bid to boost the hospitality sector "must not be at the expense of public health". talking about things we are getting used to, look at this. this is a sort of festival but a covid—19

festival and this is the way it has been spaced out. in lancashire, gisbourne park pop—up. the first socially distanced out or festival, running until august 31. everyone is in their own little hexagon far away from everyone else and you have to be in your bubble. you can have little waitress delivering drinks and things here but everything very different to what you are used to at a music festival. it is not like glastonbury, is it? it is progress though. 0ne glastonbury, is it? it is progress though. one step forward. glastonbury, is it? it is progress though. one step forwardm glastonbury, is it? it is progress though. one step forward. it is. this is in the guardian and it made me smile, this gorgeous pick. have you ever swim with a dolphin? —— gorgeous picture. no. maybe a bucket list thing to try one day, mr walker. the increasing pressure not to keep wild animals in captivity, there is now a suggestion that robots could replace dolphins at aquariums. a robotic dolphin that

cannot and answer to a child because the human controls it is now being developed. so actually, a child could get in the water and have that experience but actually with a robotic dolphin, not a real one. that is progress, surely. yeah. not sure? yes. i suppose so. you either get rid of them entirely or you try to get the experience without getting the experience, if you know what i mean. do you want the experience of a robot dolphin?m what i mean. do you want the experience of a robot dolphin? if it is so good that you do not know. you still know it is a robot though. anyway, let us know what you think. another animal one, danes. largely because of scooby doo, of the people used to have them at they have gone down greatly —— great danes. scooby doo is based on a great dane. down greatly —— great danes. scooby doo is based on a great danelj down greatly —— great danes. scooby doo is based on a great dane. i did not know that! a lot of us used to have them, and thousands per year

we re have them, and thousands per year were registered but this year it is the lowest it has been in 50 years, say the kennel club. the organisation set up in the 19th century has a national register of all of the dogs registered each year and just 855 great danes registered last year, down from a high of a think 3000. yeah. i was trying to find out what is the most popular and it is normally a labrador, now the only one that maintains its level of popularity. jack russell is gone down. it is about the size of dogs. exactly, difficult to find a place where you could keep a great dane unless you have a giant house and a field, i would imagine. that is what bill lambert from the kennel clu b is what bill lambert from the kennel club says. in the increasing lifestyle and city living it is perhaps not a mystery why a large dog has become less popular. we are all into tiny dogs these days. we have both got a poodle mix dog, don't we? they are not officially

registered as breeds, are they, by the kennel club, not on the list. not allowed. not allowed on the list but very cute though. very, very cute. this is in the express, a preview of something we're going to be looking at on programme later on, the care home but has recreated famous album covers with residents from the home. this is absolutely brilliant! i think my favourite is probably madonna at the top. this is lily and that's madonna. a great one with adele, there is a david bowie one, michaeljackson, we're talking two people from the care home just before nine o'clock this morning about why they decided to do that, to entertain themselves in lockdown. we will talk to sheila, one of the models. correct. i look forward to that! it wasn't just the road traffic which ground to a halt during the lockdown. many of our waterways and canals fell silent, too. that might sound like a good thing

for wildlife, but the rspca says a lack of boats is causing the water to become stagnant and potentially fatal to birds. brea kfast‘s tim muffett has the details. there are more than 600 bird species in britain. different types face different challenges. waterfowl such as geese and ducks are particularly susceptible to avian botulism. a disease that occurs when birds ingest toxins produced by bacteria in water. it was cause paralysis, wings will be spread out, they would be collapsed on the ground, not being able to fly, sometimes they have a head wobble where theyjust can't move at all. it does kill hundreds every year. avian botulism is more likely to occur when the weather is warm and the water is stagnant. it's much less likely to occui’ stagnant. it's much less likely to occur in rivers at a free—flowing or waterways that are being used. as

the boat will go through the canal, it will be disturbing the water, winding it up and disturbing it and if there is no—one using the water it becomes steel and causes the bacteria to grow. so the rspca suspects that lockdown has led to more cases of avian botulism. because many waterways have been underused. in this part, a fountain has kept the water oxygenated and the birds seem healthy. but elsewhere, warm, stagnant water seems to have taken its toll. tim muffett, bbc news. more bird news for you coming up on the programme as well. can we see the 0sprey camp? this is from the woodland trust in the highlands. gorgeous! those three little chicks have been named and we shall be revealing those names. what time? shortly? quite soon! actually,

don't listen to me. after eight o'clock. you will have to keep watching, everybody! there were thousands of votes and we have boiled it down to a few options but we will let you know what has been decided upon and what the names of those little chicks are. very, very beautiful. more bird news for you coming up on the programme as well. now i'm sure we've got plenty of talented children watching this morning. but as tiny sports stars go, there's a 2—year—old from china who'll take some beating. he's called li and he got into basketball after watching his dad play. as tim allman reports, he's rather good at it. li never lets his diminutive stature get in the way. two years old, he loves shooting hoops, and he is pretty good at it as well, whether it is from a stationary position or even on the move. translation: of course, we didn't expect this.

we are quite touched, since 99% of the comments online showed encouragement for our little boy. we feel inspired and encouraged by the support of people and we will do our best to help him improve. li got interested in basketball after seeing his father play the game. it is hugely popular in china, and videos of him and his mini dunks have set the internet ablaze. his parents say it's a bit too early to map out a career in professional basketball but they'll support him, come what may. as for li, he says he likes playing and shooting. look out, lebron, and make way, yao ming — li is on his way. tim allman, bbc news. some serious talent! a star of the future and he is very, very cute,

li. i think he only missed one in the whole of that film! impressive! you are watching bbc breakfast. still to come: pubs, restaurants and cafes can register to take part in the chancellor's eat out to help out voucher scheme from today, but how are the business owners and their customers feeling about it? we'll hear more on that with sean shortly, and bring you the latest news and weather. the time is 26 minutes past six. now let's get the weather with matt. good morning, what have you got? good morning, what have you got? good morning, what have you got? good morning, those of you up during the night at the weekend with the clear skies around got a bit of a celestial treat and there is more to come over coming days. this is a common spotted in the skies in the south of england. visible anywhere really. if you look to the north either side of midnight over the next week or two. you may be able to catch it with your own naked eye as well. certainly a little bit of a treat for those staying up late. the

only problem is through the rest of this week after those clear skies at times over the weekend there will be more cloud about and it will be the case through today and for some of you it is a damp start to monday and some light and patchy rain spreading its way southwards. the reason is this weather front on the chart, thatis this weather front on the chart, that is heading eastward. in doing so it is starting to bring atlantic airand clearing so it is starting to bring atlantic air and clearing away the warmth we saw through the weekend but on the weather front some heavy birth the rain into north—west england and north wales, and shari conditions across western parts of scotland. dry and bright towards the south with some sunnis spell but even here, cloud through the day as the rain moves erratically southwards and is with and not everyone will see it, the northern half of the country sees the skies start to brighten up across scotland, northern ireland and northern england with some sunshine in the westerly breeze but further south as isaid westerly breeze but further south as i said turning claudia and a wet afternoon across south—west england and the rain will gradually spread its way eastward through the evening. could get 24 in the south—east corner later this

afternoon but a little bit of hazy sunshine around and take us into the evening. through tonight, lots of cloud and partly clear skies you may be able to see the comment if you look north. further showers across northern and western scotland. whether skies are clear the longest as across eastern scotland and parts of northern england with the temperatures dropping into single figures. tomorrow, almost in between weather fronts without one clearing away that proper rain during the evening across the south—east and another one starting to approach into northern ireland later on in between, a lot of dry weather, some cloud around, if few breaks in the clouds of some showers here, possibly eastern scotland and north—east england i suspect. more ofa north—east england i suspect. more of a breeze for scotland tomorrow and less so further south. a wet and to the day in northern ireland with temperatures around 15 and over all temperatures around 15 and over all temperatures down where you want them this time of year, most places sitting in the teens. through tuesday into wednesday then, another weather front pushes its way in

bringing thicker cloud and patchy rain across the west to start the day. light and patchy rain or drizzle, quite misty potentially over some of the hills as well. the best of any brighter breaks on wednesday will be across the eastern half of the country and temperatures still for many sitting in the teens and may be reaching around 20 celsius in the south—east corner but went through the second half of the week, i pressure starting to build on and we should start to see temperatures gradually rise in many areas. that is how your weather is looking. hello this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning. the national trust is starting to re—open some of its 200 historic buildings from today. we'll be live at petworth house in west sussex to explain how they'll be keeping staff and visitors safe. we've been following their progress for the last few weeks — now 10,000 of you have voted on what to name these osprey chicks

in the scottish highlands. you can hear the results after 8:00, but here's a quick spoiler: it's not birdy mcbirdface. and how's this for a cover version? we'll be hearing more about the care home where staff and residents have been keeping busy during lockdown by re—creating some classic album artwork. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. around 200 seasonal workers have been quarantined on a farm after 55 of them tested positive for covid—19. matt hancock said it has been dealt with sweet —— more than 100 of these outbreaks have been dealt with fitly and silently every

week. assaults on emergency services workers could result in longerjail terms, under plans being considered by the government. the maximum sentence for such offences in england and wales is currently 12 months — but ministers want to double it to two years. if approved, it would be the second increase since 2018. a 12—year—old boy has been arrested as part of an investigation into racial abuse sent to the crystal palace footballer, wilfried zaha. za ha posted screenshots of messages sent to his instagram account on sunday, ahead of palace's match against aston villa. the premier league says the comments aimed at the footballer were "completely unacceptable". the government has launched an information campaign asking us there were mixed messages from government ministers on the wearing of face—coverings in shops over the weekend. on friday boris johnson suggested that stricter rules in england were needed. let's hear what he had to say. ido i do think we need to be, we need to be stricter in insisting that people wear face coverings in confined places. where they are meeting

people that's they don't normally meet. the balance of scientific opinion seems to have shifted in favour of, more in favour of them thanit favour of, more in favour of them than it was and we are very keen to follow that. but yesterday the prime minister's cabinet colleague, michael gove, took a different line on the matter. the government has at all times looked at the emerging evidence and if necessary, and is if touch —— if tough measures are required, then they will be taken. 0n the whole, my view is that it is always better to trust people's concerns, to give them an idea of what is wise and government and businesses are going with that. we'll get a medical view on this in a moment but first let's hear what shoppers in manchester thought. i think they should because it is good protection, isn't it?|j

i think they should because it is good protection, isn't it? i don't think it is, if everyone is social distancing to stop if his people clumped together. inside shopping centres, yes. yeah i don't think it should be a legal requirementjust because it is quite annoying as well. i'm in fitness and some people struggle breathing, some peoplejust don't want to wear them. so for me, it isa don't want to wear them. so for me, it is a no. don't want to wear them. so for me, it isa no. i don't want to wear them. so for me, it is a no. i don't know, really. when you go in there in the shops anyway, no—one's social distancing and in all the supermarkets, they are not, not where we live. 0h and in all the supermarkets, they are not, not where we live. oh i think it should be legal, i think it should be mandatory. you are not just thinking of yourself but eve ryo ne just thinking of yourself but everyone else. i think you should just wear a mask because of other people are wearing masks, it might be better to see you where one as well and if the more people wear it, try to cut down the spread. those of the examples of some shoppers we have been talking to.

doctor nighat arif is one of our breakfast gps. she's in buckinghamshire. starting with the masks, what is your medical view on what people should be doing? i don't even know why this has become such a political hot potato. to me, itjust makes sense to wear something that covers your face was stop it doesn't have to bea your face was stop it doesn't have to be a disposable mask, just any face coverings will stop if you are ina face coverings will stop if you are in a confined space than it is a goodidea in a confined space than it is a good idea because you are protecting yourself and other people and you are not allowing those droplets to be transmitted because we know that this is how the virus is happening. iam not this is how the virus is happening. i am not associated with any political party, i don't get any funding for anything, but i am at dog standard gp. in my opinion is i think we should give about it threefold. number one, it is a way of practising humility. what we're doing is we're covering a face with some sort of face covering because you don't know if you've got the virus. you could be passing it on to

somebody unwillingly and in order to drive those numbers down, just covering your face would be a good idea. wearing yourface covering your face would be a good idea. wearing your face covering is an act of kindness to me because you don't know that the person you just past in the street of the woman you are standing next to in the supermarket, her son could be having cancer treatment or they could be looking after their elderly parents, and number three, it looking after their elderly parents, and numberthree, it is looking after their elderly parents, and number three, it is a looking after their elderly parents, and numberthree, it is a part looking after their elderly parents, and number three, it is a part of your immunity. everything that has been going through with covid—19, we have come together as a community was a business the time to look out of —— look after your small businesses who want to get out of lockdown. it is the time that you think about employees starting to work in the supermarket or gps like us, that we are protecting ourselves and others as well. so i think that we have got to look at it differently rather than saying, should we, shouldn't we? just look at it as this is the way it should be in order to come out of lockdown,

in order to make sure we're safe, because if we are heading into flu season, heading out of quarantine, surely it makes sense that we just give some protection. some problems. 0ne, give some protection. some problems. one, this morning there is a lack of clarity and i am sure that is something you would be able to comment on the other problem is, according to one of the shoppers we just saw in that little report, he said hejust just saw in that little report, he said he just didn't want to wear one. i know. but that makes me sort of laugh. we know that in order to relieve pressure on the nhs in order to save lives, we have to stop the transmission. that was the point of lockdown. we were able to do that so it shouldn't come down to, well, i don't want to wear one, because over 42,000 people have died was not you ask those loved ones —— you ask those loved ones as they are grieving and for a little bit of short term discomfort, surely we can

wear a face covering. it could just bea wear a face covering. it could just be a cloth, it doesn't have to be something that is a medical mask or that extreme. just something that protects other people around you. that extreme. just something that protects other people around youm it right that you could be doing the right thing, wearing a covering and and thinking you are ok but actually, the mask isn't effective beyond quite a short amount of time. how does that work? well, the thing is, there is this theory that once it is on your face after about 20 minutes, it is not going to be that effective because again, we move it, we touch it, we pull it down because i've seen people pull it down to have a cough which is actually the opposite. it is getting used to it and the etiquette of how to use a mask. around the world, 135 countries have made mandatory to wear masks. we are just so behind the top we have a system at the nhs that we have got to look after and protect. this is protect ——

preventative medicine. for short period of time, let us just wear some face coverings. what are the circumstances in which somebody would not need to wear a face covering and what sort of people don't need to do this? that is a difficult one because it is by case some people find it, for example, if a lip read or having difficulty than wearing a shield would be a good idea. children, there is an argument that it idea. children, there is an argument thatitis idea. children, there is an argument that it is restrictive for children so maybe not a good idea. there is also an argument that people have reading problems such as asthma or copd. they might have dick —— difficulty breathing but these other people with want to protect the stock we don't want them to get covid—19 and for them to get pneumonia. if you don't want to wear a face covering then maybe think about a shield. it is lovely to talk to you and you are neverjust a bog standard gp. you caught me in the middle of my tea! i wasn't ready!

you managed to get that tea out of shot early on. this is proper tea, none of that cattle malarkey, proper indian tea made on a stove, i made it this morning because i needed to wa ke it this morning because i needed to wake up. gorgeous, thank you very much indeed. do let us know what you think about this a face covering issue. something we want to get clarity on from the government. robert buck thatis from the government. robert buck that is going to be on at 730 this morning. would it make you more likely to go to a shop? —— robert buckland. i would say most people in the supermarket yesterday were not wearing masks. and as that woman said, they said there was a complete lack of social distancing going on.

it isa lack of social distancing going on. it is a complicated business. we have all the sports news now. where are you starting, cat? starting with the formula 1 this morning. not exactly a classic race. world champion lewis hamilton won the styrian grand prix, the second race of the delayed formula one season ahead of his team mate valteri bottas, who remains top of the drivers standings. adam wild watched the action. these days, formula 1 fans just have to find whatever view they can. looking down, there is much they have all seen before. the second week in the row, a race at austria's red bull ring, lewis hamilton the talk of the track and once more, leading to bigger conversation. commentator: the first—ever styrian grand prix! starting from pole, no driver has done it more. behind him, the struggles for ferrari continue to confound, colliding with each other on the opening lap. their problems, like their cars, are

piling up. there race for both lasted a little longer. 0nce piling up. there race for both lasted a little longer. once the struggled stayed behind him, lewis was ahead and no—one could get here —— clear. second going to valtteri bottas stop but hamilton was masterful. a styrian grand prix success story. for this champion, another powerful statement on the track and on top of the podium. england slipped to defeat in the first test of the summer, losing by four wickets to the west indies in southampton. chasing 200 to win, the tourists were reduced to 27 for 3 at one stage. but a brilliant knock of 95 from jermaine blackwood edged the west indies closer to victory. they duly wrapped up the win with four wickets to spare. the second test starts in manchester on thursday. we have got to put our hands up and

say, a fantastic knock and was very difficult to have a plan. we went 100% sure where to go to at times with the way that he plays. you just have to hold your hand up and say west indies. in the premier league, tottenham came from a goal down to beat arsenal in the north london derby. the gunners went ahead when alexander lacazette hammered in this belter from almost 30 yards. spurs equalised through son, before toby alderweireld rose highest to seal the win. they move up to eighth, and ahead of arsenal, with the win. a 12—year—old boy has been arrested for sending racist social media messages to crystal palace's wilfried zaha before their game against aston villa. 0n the pitch, villa boosted their hopes of survival with a much needed three points. the egyptian trezeguet with both goals as villa won 2—0. they're still 4 points from safety with three games remaining. bournemouth have also thrown themselves a lifeline.

they fought back to beat 10 man leicester 4—1. it was a nightmare day for leicester who went from 1—0 up to 2—1 down and had a man sent off, all in the space of two, frantic, second half minutes. wolves kept up their hopes of reaching the champions league next season by beating everton 3—0. diogojota here got the pick of the goals, with wolves hoping to catch chelsea in the top four. they meet on the final day of the season. leeds moved to the brink of a premier league return after a dramatic late win against swansea. pablo hernandez with the winner in the last minute. leeds now need four points from their last three championship games to end their 16—year absence from the top flight. manchester city will find out today if the appeal against their 2—year champions league ban has been successful. city were handed the punishment for breaking financial fair play rules but have appealed the decision to the court of arbitration for sport. the decision is due at 9:30 this morning.

it is going to be a huge morning for manchester city, fans pressing refresh on that website. also for the other clubs fighting for those champions league places. they will work out where they are standing, depending on what decision is for manchester city later on this morning. it could make a big reference with only a few games left. thank you very much. pubs, restaurants and cafes can register online to take part in the chancellor's eat out to help out scheme from today. sean's looking into how it will work and whether there's much appetite for it. good one! i used it earlier. good one! i used it earlierlj good one! i used it earlier. i stole it from you, sean! and i stole it from somebody else! nothing new under the sun. good from somebody else! nothing new underthe sun. good morning. from somebody else! nothing new under the sun. good morning. these vouchers that we have been talking about after the chancellor announcement last week, we will get announcement last week, we will get an idea today of how keen restau ra nts a nd an idea today of how keen restaurants and pubs that serve the food are to be a part of this. it will be run by hmrc and they have

told us they will be releasing more details for businesses later today when the online portal opens. looking at the details, it is essentially offering half—price food or non—alcoholic drinks up to a maximum of a ten per person when you eat in that is the key bit or drink into a restaurant or cafe. it should be straightforward for those registered, they can just claim the money back from the government, and it will be valid on monday to wednesday all through august. no limit to the number of times customers can use the offer during the period as well. 20 of places serving food though are not eligible so you have got takeaway only places, cannot register, and neither can mobile food vans or hotels that only offer room service. so how likely is this voucher scheme going to actually boost the sector? we spoke to some people who run restau ra nts a nd spoke to some people who run restaurants and customers who may go to them in manchester this weekend to them in manchester this weekend to see what they thought.

i really miss mcdonald's and five guys. if theyjust have like a big fat bowl of pastor. i think for me it would be reality. i miss the salty fries! chinese food. better thana salty fries! chinese food. better than a restaurant, for sure. as venues slowly reopen, the meals we have been missing our back on sale. but business is still slow for many restau ra nts. but business is still slow for many restaurants. it is more difficult for us, the commercial parts of town, office blocks and other commerce are a big part of the business. those simple —— those people simply are not in town at the moment that if you have local residents around you, it is easier but if you are dependent upon commerce, less easy. neil runs a group of restaurants across the north of england and the midlands and will be one of the first to sign up and will be one of the first to sign upfor and will be one of the first to sign up for this eat out to help out scheme when it opens today. absolutely 100% across our business, yes. 0n the weekend we are seeing quite a large number of younger people but not families coming out

and if we can encourage them to perhaps try it once or twice during august and perhaps they will get over the barrier that it doesn't exist and quite rightly in many cases people are still quite concerned. so the doors will be open and safety measures in place and the food will be half—price. while customers return? no, ithinki food will be half—price. while customers return? no, ithink i will play it safe for a couple weeks may be. be a bit more cautious basically. it depends on how big the re sta u ra nt basically. it depends on how big the restaurant is, like some restaurants are able to maintain social distancing. i have mainly been sticking to kind of chains because they know what they are doing.|j would go and eat out on a monday, tuesday or wednesday! you know, if it is cheaper than double!” tuesday or wednesday! you know, if it is cheaper than double! i think i would eat myself into a coma and then have a nice lazy sunday. even if people are tempted by a meal deal that will not help every business. the businesses that are not going to be touched by this scheme are independent restaurants that normally take monday or tuesday off and they cannot get the stuff up and it isa and they cannot get the stuff up and

it is a risk and a disruption to their business. if you cannot open safely under current guidelines, if you have a very small venue, if you have no outside space, if you cannot rearrange your tables, if you are not able to trade then you will get not able to trade then you will get no benefit from this. the stakes are high, half of all hospitality employees are still off work, furloughed with the government paying their wages. with the industry expecting thousands more jobs to be lost if the latest support measures don't do what they need to. lots of businesses having to make big decisions at the moment. with restaurants sign up to the scheme or not. we have heard about thejob retention scheme or not. we have heard about the job retention bonus scheme or not. we have heard about thejob retention bonus as scheme or not. we have heard about the job retention bonus as well and prime like the high street detail is that it will not take the government bonus companies can actually get £1000 for every furloughed worker that they bring back to work till january —— primark. that is to incentivise businesses to keep people on so they could have been able to claim £30 million for 30,000 furloughed workers but the retailer said it does not want to claim it.

we have the boss of centre parts coming upa we have the boss of centre parts coming up a little later as well so something that businesses perhaps coming under pressure to not claim if they can afford it and obviously the hospitality industry will be looking to sort out that cash. he is coming up at 840 so we will ask him that. thank you. if you had a stroll around a national trust garden over the weekend, you're not alone. the charity has welcomed more than a million visitors to its outside spaces after re—opening them at the start ofjune. from today, it's starting to re—open some of its 200 historic buildings. breakfast‘s john maguire is at one of them — petworth house in west sussex. good morning, it looks great! yeah, morning. absolutely stunning, isn't it? this part of the house was built towards the end of the 17th century, it is one of the seven houses in the national trust estate will reopen this week, petworth house, because you say, people have, as the lock

and restrictions have been easing, been able to explore the grounds outside many of the national trust properties. but for the first time today they will be able to go indoors. we have been to kingston la kes indoors. we have been to kingston lakes in dorset to find out how preparations are going there. the ornate, unique and valuable doors are opening once again. this is the spanish room at kingston macy in dorset. it offers visitors the chance to walk in a world surrounded by art antiquities and architecture but are breathtaking and beautiful. it has been 16 weeks since the national trust closed its houses as coronavirus bread. but now the dust cove rs a re coronavirus bread. but now the dust covers are off and the volunteers have returned. special training sessions will help them adapt to the covid restrictions. today's session is all about you feeling safe and co mforta ble is all about you feeling safe and comfortable to return support welcoming up visitors back. seven

houses opened this week as a pilot scheme to test run the new procedures. obviously we have tried to make it as safe as possible for you for having the two metre distance and things like that so you will still be able to talk to the visitors. i'm not particularly concerned, no. ithink visitors. i'm not particularly concerned, no. i think we all have to take responsibility for our own decisions in this situation. and i'm fairly confident that there have beena fairly confident that there have been a lot of decisions taken and a lot of discussion and the fact that we're it as a pilot basis, whatever happens will be fed back, i think is good. so the lessons learned here in the coming days will help to inform the coming days will help to inform the rest of the national trust's estate. we have had to think about how many people we can get in the house at once in a safe way, how many people per room so it is even going down to smaller situations like that. locking away its valuables, say from footfall and sunlight would be easy. but it is not what the trust is for. it's job is to connect those treasures with

people. we are looking at £200 million losses this year, and that is going to affect the way we're going operate and we are still committed on our strategy, we are still committed about our core purpose and providing these great places for the nation. but they are worth nothing if people do not see them. so it is all about providing access to managing that conservation, but also now the safety of both our staff, volunteers and ultimately our visitors. so seven historic houses, but will once again play their part in history and in the near future should hopefully enable the rest of the national trust's 200 houses to open their doors once again. if you are a member or there is a house close to you, you will have missed out on this sort of thing inside. this is the north gallery inside. this is the north gallery inside petworth house. isn't it

absolutely stunning? you feel as if you are being watched by many of the statues, i think, you are being watched by many of the statues, ithink, as you are being watched by many of the statues, i think, as you come through! so, good morning to you. we have some turners on the wall here which must be amongst some of the finest pieces in the national trust's entire collection. we like to think so and many of our visitors do too so we are excited that visitors will be able to see them again so on this all alone we have five but there are 20 in the house altogether. obviously a turner fan. how difficult has it been, how much ofa how difficult has it been, how much of a challenge has it been to rethink how you welcome visitors to the house? we have had to completely rethink how we welcome visitors and even little things like these benches where visitors can sit and ta ke benches where visitors can sit and take in the art but at the moment because we cannot clean these easily we have had to take these off and introduce chairs that we can wipe clea n introduce chairs that we can wipe clean so things like that, we have had to go around the whole visitor rooms and make sure things are safe and the visitors are being looked after as well as our staff and volunteers. the safety, isn't it, and that confidence as well. good

morning. more widely, 200 properties, if this week goes well, when do you expect some of those to be reopening? yeah, we are grateful to our members and supporters for sticking with us during the town. this is the first time in 16 weeks that we have been able to contemplate reopening our houses and we are expecting over the next course of weeks and months to open up course of weeks and months to open up all of those but this week it is seven houses we are reopening so exciting for the first time that people can start to come back and see our indoor heritage. and what have you chosen the properties that you have? it is a difficult thing to do, to open houses, because it isn't a question of taking off those dust sheets and opening the doors, we have had to think about what is the right thing, how do people move around those houses and 1—way systems so we have chosen seven houses across england and northern ireland to be able to test how it is working in terms of social distancing and making sure we have

it absolutely right for the safety of the visitors, volunteers and staff. you would like places to open as soon as possible. are you confident at this stage that you will be able to open almost everything maybe by the end of the summer? we will certainly be able to open a lot of our properties so we hope at least this is the first part ofa hope at least this is the first part of a pilot really be able to test how to do that and to bring people back, to be able to experience the indoors as well as the outdoors. we had 125 parks and gardens open and about 1 had 125 parks and gardens open and about1 million had 125 parks and gardens open and about 1 million visitors had 125 parks and gardens open and about1 million visitors have come through, pre— booking, already, so to be able to bring people inside and to do that safely will be fantastic. thank you very much. and thank you sue. i will rattle through these properties for you, if they are these properties for you, if they a re close these properties for you, if they are close to you, you may like to go and visit. barrington court in somerset, kingston lacy as you have seenin somerset, kingston lacy as you have seen in dorset, lime, intuition, famous for mr darcy emerging from the lakefront, 0xbow hall in norfolk, petworth house here in west sussex and from wednesday, the

arguably in county armagh and from friday packwood house in warwickshire. if they are close to you will be glad to know the doors opening this week. day trips are sorted, dan. a slice of normality! few things are very different to how we are used of them being many months ago but little snippets of returning normal. thank you to john maguire. we have had some lovely weather over the weekend but some of you may have noticed some unwanted visitors. yes, flying ants! these we re visitors. yes, flying ants! these were from matt's back garden. it is a time of year. here he is and he can tell us what has been going on! good morning, and man! -- and. if the mnemonic of the woods it was not very nice with lots of flying ants around and even though it was dry and sunny those flying ants were picked up by the weather radar through yesterday afternoon so take a look at the splashes, speckles of

blue appearing on the chart to the afternoon as those winged ants took to the skies across south and east as dan as it happens over a few days during eitherjuly or august and different parts of the country at different parts of the country at different times as well. they usually come out when temperatures rise after a caller spell and of course you need light winds as well but certainly, made for a few spoiled picnics or barbecues yesterday across the south and east! ido yesterday across the south and east! i do not reckon they will be coming out today because today we have much more in the way of cloud around. it will be a little more call, particularly away from the south—east, and for some of us there has been swatches of rain around. a few more than splashes of rain this morning across north—west england and north wales, with because we have this weather front with you. it will be pushing its way eastwards, putting away the warmer air that many experienced through yesterday so across many experienced through yesterday so across parts of north—west england, north wales this is where the heaviest of the rain is at the moment and the rainy frontier

somewhere in that area and this is where we will see further rain at times, pushing through wales, the midlands, towards the south—west is going to the afternoon. it means the northern half of the country will see more sunshine developing, a future was around across scotland and one or two later on well to the north and west but with the winds coming off the atlantic, a bit more ofa coming off the atlantic, a bit more of a breeze compared with yesterday, temperatures caller on the western side of scotland compared to the east, 20 in aberdeen, 15 in parts of the highlands. the same across much of england but an improvement this afternoon across north—west england, north wales, one of which i was around. south wales, south—west england finishes with bursts of rain to take you into the evening and through this evening babbel work across other southern counties of england, self midlands and into east anglia. lusting into the early hours of the morning. but is meant elsewhere we will see partly clear skies, there will be a few showers dotted around and where skies are clear across parts of eastern scotland, northern england, this is where we could see temperatures

dropping down. single figures there. most, mild night, temperatures 15 or 16 for some in the south—east corner. into tuesday, and we have the weather front clearing away from the weather front clearing away from the south—east corner. another one out waiting in the wings. sort of in between on tuesday with the weather systems but there will be a fair bit of cloud around. a few showers across north and west of scotland to begin with, north—west england as well, damp and northern ireland through the day. the best of the car breaks up the scotland, north—east england we suspect with some funnier spells here and you will see the odd sunny spell elsewhere but overall, the club and sunshine. and for this stage injuly, the club and sunshine. and for this stage in july, temperatures the club and sunshine. and for this stage injuly, temperatures down a little bit on where we normally expect this time of year with most places sitting in the mid—to—high teens. for the rest of the week it is almost a bit of a battle between high pressure to the south of us, low pressure to the north, the high means dry and means a greater tendency to see what the weather. winds still coming in of the atlantic but as they fall lighter because the temperatures starting to rise. a little word of caution,

still uncertainty towards the weekend but notice most areas will see those temperatures rise through this week. some light rain or drizzle in western coast and hills but the south and east, increasing amounts of sunshine as we head towards the weekend and temperatures into the upper 20s. dan and sally, headlines next. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today: 73 workers at a farm have tested positive for covid—19 as the health secretary reveals more than 100 localised outbreaks are being dealt with every week. a further easing of lockdown in england as beauty salons, nail bars and tattoo parlours open their doors again but a long list of treatments remain banned. the dust covers come off some of our finest treasures as the national trust reopens some of its properties. are restaurants relishing a reduction? from today, ourfavourite places to eat out can log—in to sign up to the government paying for half

of your meals out in august. 0ne test down, two to go. west indies take a lead in the series, beating england by 4 wickets. it's monday the 13th ofjuly. our top story: around 200 seasonal workers have been quarantined on a vegetable farm in herefordshire after 73 of them tested positive for covid—19. it comes as the health secretary matt hancock has revealed that more than 100 localised outbreaks of coronavirus are being dealt with "swiftly and silently" every week. we'll talk to our political correspondent chris mason in a moment but first let's speak to geeta pendse, who's outside the farm in mathon.

geeta, what's the latest? yes, good morning. well, 200 workers, as you said, our self—isolating currently on this farm which is west of mathon. a number of the workers, a few workers last week, showed signs of covid—19. asa last week, showed signs of covid—19. as a result, the whole workforce we re as a result, the whole workforce were tested and 73 came back as positive. we have been told that a number of the workers were asymptomatic so they were not showing signs of the virus. during holiday season, seasonal workers live on—site in mobile homes they have been told to stay here in lockdown, essentially, while they are self—isolating, so they cannot leave the site, but essentials like food, for example, are being delivered by the local authority. public health england have described this as the first serious outbreak of covid—19 on a farm. but they do say, local health officials, that they believe the risk to the wider community is very low and that the virus has been contained. rather, the outbreak has been contained here on site. the owners of this farm say

the welfare of the staff are their priority and the farm is currently closed to the public with health officials monitoring the situation. geeta, thank you. let's speak now to our political correspondent chris mason. chris, according to the health secretary this sort of localised outbreak could be happening more than we realised? what is going on? interesting piece from matt hancock, the health secretary for england, in the daily telegraph this morning, fleshing out what is happening elsewhere in addition to what we have just heard in -- is addition to what we have just heard in —— is happening in herefordshire. clearly what is happening there is onafar clearly what is happening there is on a far greater scale in so far as number of cases when looking at these localised outbreaks, but matt hancock, in this article, saying that since test and trace was launched in england, similar schemes with different names around in the uk. 144,000 people have been reached. this is why you may have

been contacted because somebody who was ina been contacted because somebody who was in a shop that you have been into a the same time had tested positive and you get a call and then told to self isolate. 144,000 people have been reached via this scheme. he is making the argument that that means the rest of the economy and society can reopen because there is a localised focus on isolation rather than asking us all to do lots of things to keep ourselves away from others. and a crucial detail towards the tail end of this article saying that each week there are more than 100 local actions, as he put it, taken across the country. some of those will make the news, others, he said, will be dealt with swiftly and silently but that is what allows the rest of society to begin to reopen. i also want to ask you about this a suspected announcement from the home secretary today about the points to based immigration system and how exactly that will work. more detailfrom richie patel coming later. this is the whole idea after

brexit —— priti patel. 0f later. this is the whole idea after brexit —— priti patel. of the uk being in charge of its immigration system. after next year, we will be beyond the transition period after jack —— brexit which happened after january, of course, given the uk control of their immigration. all migrants coming to the uk from wherever in the world will be subject to these points based system. points granted depending on qualification, job, salary, but with exemptions for those working in health and social care. also allowing graduates to stay in the uk for a couple of years as well. more detail on immigration as the whole issue of brexit and whether the uk can geta issue of brexit and whether the uk can get a deal with the eu in the next 5.5 months also is concerned. roaring back into the news. mr mason, thank you very much from —— for that. we will hear from the immigration secretary robert buckland.

pubs, cafes and restaurants in wales can re—open from today — but only for customers who are willing to sit outdoors. 0ur correspondent tomos morgan is in a beer garden in monmouthshire with the details. tomos, it's notjust food and drink businesses which are back in business from today. you are right. it is also hair salons although i wasn't actually able to get an appointment today, u nfortu nately, able to get an appointment today, unfortunately, and also outdoor cinemas reopening as well as some indoor attractions. people can gather other groups of 30 as long as they have a personal trainer also. people have come to make sure the beer barrels are back up and running. this is a beautiful location in monmouthshire. richard, you are the landlord. don't pull me onejust yet, it you are the landlord. don't pull me one just yet, it is a little early. how much of an effort this has this been? we have had to bring a pub from inside to outside. we knew this was

going to happen and a phased approach so we built this bar, put a roof on it, ready to go. will you are ina roof on it, ready to go. will you are in a lucky situation with a beautiful outdoor space. not many pubs in wales have that space. and with the welsh weather, it can be a bit hit and miss. for you, financially, how viable will it be just to have an outdoor space? we have no idea at this point. our kitchen is rolling as normal. so i think we can do it. we just have to be positive because there is always going to be people worse off than us. they will be pubs that can't even open. so they don't have the outside space. lucky we are in a beautiful part of the country and we can make this work. our plan is at the moment that outdoor beer gardens will be open and restaurants. indoor —wise, the earliest that will be opening in wales will probably be the third of august. thank you,

tomos. assaults on emergency services workers could result in longerjail terms, under plans being considered by the government. the maximum sentence for such offences in england and wales is currently 12 months — but ministers want to double it to two years. if approved, it would be the second increase since 2018. the government has launched an information campaign asking us to plan ahead after the brexit transition period ends on december 31st. this is the moment... a new start. now the uk has left the eu, time to set our course as we transition to a new relationship... the adverts include advice on travel insurance and passport rules for uk holidaymakers and guidance for britons living in the eu, as well as eu citizens living in the uk. it starts today on tv, radio, online, print and billboards. a 12—year—old boy has been arrested as part of an investigation into racial abuse sent to the crystal palace footballer,

wilfried zaha. za ha posted screenshots of messages sent to his instagram account on sunday, ahead of palace's match against aston villa. the premier league says the comments aimed at the footballer were "completely unacceptable". beauty salons, nail bars and tattoo pa rlours in england can re—open from today, in a further easing of lockdown restrictions. but a long list of treatments, including facials, makeup application and eyebrow and eyelash work, are still banned. here's our business correspondent katy austin. staff at this beauty salon have been preparing for their first client in 3.5 months. hygiene has always been a priority here, now there are extra safety measures. when the clients arrived, they will see us with our masks on. it is advanced bookings only, however, you can't yet book as a chill. it is half of our business. not being able to do facial treatments stop for example, no eyebrow waxing, any tinting, any lip

waxing. it is more thanjust eyebrow waxing, any tinting, any lip waxing. it is more than just the facials we can't do so we are just manicures, pedicures and massages. headdresses in england could reopen on the fourth ofjuly, but beauty salons couldn't. now they can start resuming some treatments but the government says others where therapists need to spend a lot of time there somebody‘s phase, like eyelash treatments, are still too high risk. 1000 self—employed beauticians take bookings for at—home services through the app. not all of them can start earning again today. about a quarter of them can't work because they specialise in services that involve the face. so that is make up, lashes, browse, facials. they are the ones we still have no open date for, either. so that means 250 professionals, freelancers, not allowed to work and they haven't worked march. i found it very difficult to understand how

a treatment, when you can naturally have a mask on, is different to have a beard treatment. fiona feels it is unfair but the government says only very basic beard trimming is allowed if done away from the front of the face. the industry membership body says it is talking to the government about the desperate situation for beauticians who still can't work. we need to just get them as much support as we can. we need to get an a nswer of support as we can. we need to get an answer of when potentially we're going to get date and it is financial support that we are working on as well. salons in northern ireland opened earlier this month. in scotland, they can open from the 22nd ofjuly and in wales from the 22nd ofjuly and in wales from july the 27th. many beauticians in england will be celebrating a return to work today. for others, they financially page —— financially painful weight is on. —— wait. the national trust is opening five of its houses today for the first time since lockdown — and another two by the end

of the week. the charity says safety is paramount to the move, with measures in place to ensure social distancing. most of its parks and gardens were re—opened in earlyjune — and have already attracted more than a million visitors. let us try and tidy up the zebra debate, shall we? cast your mind back five years and you may recall having many heated debates over the colour of a particular dress which was widely shared on social media. some of us swore it was white and gold — others insisted it was black and blue. clearly blue. just that photograph makes it look blue and black. now we have gone on to actual animals. well, brace yourselves for the latest optical illusion to divide the internet. this picture of two zebras in kenya is causing a lot of confusion as to which one's head is visible — the left or right. should we just confess and say that both of us are said this morning it on the right. for sure!|j

both of us are said this morning it on the right. for sure! i started to look at the ears and the shadows. according to sarosh lodhi, the wildlife photographer who took the picture — it's the one on the left. now you see that shadow. true!“ now you see that shadow. true! if i look at it too long i might fall over. i think i see look at it too long i might fall over. i think! see a look at it too long i might fall over. i think i see a dolphin! that has been confirmed by the photographer. it is in fact the zebra on the left whose head you can see there. i am glad we cleared that up see there. i am glad we cleared that upfor see there. i am glad we cleared that up for everybody. the big issue of the day. you are watching breakfast from bbc news. firefighters and paramedics dedicate their lives to protecting and caring for us — but sadly many are subjected to abuse or violence while simply trying to do theirjob. last year, 11,000 people were prosecuted in england and wales for assaulting an emergency worker. now the government wants to double the maximum jail term for these offences from one to two years. we're joined now by two "blue light" workers who have been attacked. lizzie smith is a paramedic

and david gillian is a firefighter. good morning to you both and thank you for chatting. lizzie, coming to you for chatting. lizzie, coming to you first. you had a really bad experience was up if you don't mind sharing it with us, could you tell us what happened to you?” sharing it with us, could you tell us what happened to you? i did, yeah. we got called by the police last october. we were working one night shift and got called to a man who had been assaulted and hejust had some kind of minorfacial cuts so we got him into the back of the ambulance and! so we got him into the back of the ambulance and i was just carrying out since standard checks on him, blood pressure, heart rate, things like that. i noticed him giving me prolonged periods of eye contact which was making me feel uncomfortable but i didn't think too much of it. i then reached over to p0p much of it. i then reached over to pop something in our bin of the ambulance which is when he grabbed my bum. and what were the consequences of that moment for you?

at that moment, i would have liked to have thought i would be quite feisty and say something back but i actually just was so shocked feisty and say something back but i actuallyjust was so shocked i didn't say anything, i just felt sick to stop me and my crew mate asked the man to stop, which he did, but he just kind of sat there smirking, but luckily the police we re smirking, but luckily the police were on the scene. they didn't see it but they encouraged me to go forward. i don't think i would have otherwise, to be honest. what has been the conclusion? he pleaded not guilty so we had to go to court and he was found guilty and is on and is go to court and he was found guilty and is on the sex offenders register for five years and ordered to do 120 hours of community service and i was awarded £250 compensation. lizzie, sorry you had to talk about this morning and thank you for being

honest with us and we will come back to you about what you think more generally about that sort of thing happening but let's bring david n. he isa happening but let's bring david n. he is a firefighter. —— david n. what happened to you because you we re what happened to you because you were attacked at work as well. what happened to you because you were attacked at work as weltm was around bonfire period, which is the time of year we tend to have more problems in the fire service. and we got called to a fire at a lamppost which is a bit of an unusualjob. so we got off the fire engine to have a look at it and as we we re engine to have a look at it and as we were inspecting it, fireworks started raining in over our heads so obviously it had been set deliberately as a trap. basically the fireworks were landing over, going over our heads hitting the fence and landing amongst our feet and going off. so that was that, really. how common is that sort of thing happening to you and i am sure you hear of other similar incidents that are happening to your collea g u es that are happening to your colleagues as well? yeah, i think it

is... it's not an everyday occurrence but something like that will happen every year. not all of us but, you know, we hear about the kind thing happening. so, yeah. david, what is it like for you when you were going somewhere with the purpose of helping people or perhaps diffusing a very dangerous situation, and then you yourself are targeted, you and your group, are targeted, you and your group, are targeted by people trying to stop you doing your job? targeted by people trying to stop you doing yourjob? it is obviously not great. it is kind of a hard thing to understand, going essentially to help people and then they are kind of attacking us. it is not something i take particularly personally. i just not something i take particularly personally. ijust think not something i take particularly personally. i just think there not something i take particularly personally. ijust think there are social problems and we need to look at investing in these communities, really. if people feel like they have got nothing to lose and

attacking people like myself, then i think it is a bigger problem in society that we need to look at. three, how do you feel about this potential —— tougher sentencing, going from one year to two years because a reminder the guy who assaulted you got a fine and community service. yeah, i mean, i'm definitely keen for the sentences to be tougher. i think no form of abuse should be tolerated and especially when it is kind of inhibiting us doing our role as immunity services soi doing our role as immunity services so i think it is a really positive step in the right direction. has anything like that happened to you before, or since? iwould anything like that happened to you before, or since? i would say it is an extremely common occurrence, yeah, within the ambulance service. my yeah, within the ambulance service. my personal experience is relatively minor. but it is common. i would say. 0nce or twice a week. at least something verbal, and then other

collea g u es something verbal, and then other colleagues have had worse, and physical stuff as well. crew three, you say your experience was not the worst but sitting here listening to it, does not sound pleasant in way but you ever feel frightened for your own safety when doing yourjob, to the point where it may stop you doing it or you to the point where it may stop you doing it oryou might to the point where it may stop you doing it or you might have to rethink how you work? yeah, i say, i do absolutely love myjob and i love going to work but i do feel vulnerable as well, especially now. it is maybe think about it more and ido it is maybe think about it more and i do get nervous about situations because now i am i do get nervous about situations because now i am aware i do get nervous about situations because now i am aware that people do take opportunities to do things like that and there is sort of, you know, in the ambulance services there are you work by yourself in a response role and it is something i have always wanted to do and now i would be more apprehensivejust have always wanted to do and now i would be more apprehensive just from a safety aspect for myself. david, we will talk to the justice

secretary in about ten minutes so what are your thoughts on tougher sentencing? obviously i sympathise with lizzie and people like that but have been attacked but my opinion is the sentencing will not change anything. i said before, the kind of areas and the people that we encounter have problems within this kind of thing, there is a lot of deprivation in these areas and it tends to be those areas where we get into trouble. i'm not sure that the people are aware of sentencing guidelines and i do not think it is in the forefront of their mind when these things happen. sol in the forefront of their mind when these things happen. so ijust don't think locking people up is the answer. i think it will cause more division and put more barriers between ourselves and the communities that we serve. sol would much rather see investment into those communities and opportunities given to kids so that

they have something better to do with their lives and just go out and attack people for the fun of it, essentially. interesting to hear from both of you. thank you so much. good to speak to you. a firefighter and paramedic live on the programme this morning talking potentially anyone who assaulted an emergency worker could face a longerjail term, the two years, and we will speak to the justice secretary in about ten minutes' time. it's nearly two weeks since leicester was put into lockdown following a spike of covid—19 cases, and the number of infected people is now falling. the health secretary matt hancock is planning to review the restrictions in the coming days but the city's mayor, sir peter soulsby, has accused the government of having no clear exit plan. we can speak to him now. good morning to you, sir peter soulsby. you are saying the data suggests the outbreak in leicester has actually been confined quite a small area. tell us more. what do

you know? after weeks of asking, we finally got some useful data and we are beginning now to work out really where they are in the city and where there are not and from that data we now, at last, discovered there are a few neighbourhoods and a very small number, maybe 10% of the whole city, but has a higher transmission of the data and if we had known that weeks ago we could have actually dealt with at that time and prevented this lockdown. do you think that the lot down for the whole city was an overreaction? it is very clear when you look at the data that it is a couple of areas of the city they've got a higher than average transmission of the virus and certainly, the way in which the city has been locked down in its entirety andindeed has been locked down in its entirety and indeed beyond our boundary is not justified. we should and indeed beyond our boundary is notjustified. we should have been able to know this many many weeks ago, we could have focused on those areas, preventing the transmission there. on the data, the government

says you have had the information. you are clearly saying that you did not. who is right? we are right! councils up and down the land would tell you the same thing. they too like us have just not had the data thatis like us have just not had the data that is coming back from the testing that is coming back from the testing that has been just like that is coming back from the testing that has beenjust like i do not know where it has been but it has not been passed on to us. and now we are getting it it doesn't have any of the vital information. we need to know the ethnicity of the people being tested and where they are working because all of this talk about passing on in factories and things like that what we have no way of knowing that but what we do know now is that in these small neighbourhoods, we are able now to identify whether positive test are coming through and what percentage of those tests are positive and those are the areas that now, at last, we can focus on. when you say focus on, what does it mean? what is the situation in the small neighbourhoods? working with, at street level, talking to them and

persuading them they need to be abiding strictly by the rules and making sure that they themselves understand they are at risk in those neighbourhoods. we know our city. we can work with those people. frankly, the government coming in from outside and imposing a lockdown on the whole of the city is not a helpful way to deal with the transmission of the virus.|j helpful way to deal with the transmission of the virus. i will give you a response we have from the department of health and social care who said we continue to work closely with local authorities in leicester to further curb the spread of the virus about the necessary restrictions can be removed as soon as possible. what is your response to that? i imagine you would hope the restrictions would be lifted sooner rather than later.|j the restrictions would be lifted sooner rather than later. i very much hope so! of course i do. it is clear from the meetings we had last week that they have not yet got a clue on how on earth they would measure what constitutes success in this. even the data we're getting now is less than two weeks out of date and we need to be knowing on a day by day basis, street by street basis, what the data is telling us

and then we can tell whether or not in those particular neighbourhoods where actually we are combating the virus effectively. as the mayor of leicester, what would you suggest constitutes success when looking at the data? oh, ithink constitutes success when looking at the data? oh, i think down at the very least to what is the average of the rest of the country and, you know, that is easy to measure from the testing happening elsewhere. and i want us to focus our attention in those areas of the city where there are above average outbreaks and to make sure that we are advising the people working with those people and ensuring that with them, we come out of this very, very quickly. leicester has now been placed on the belgian government's red zone list. 0bviously that means a place where a severe outbreak has happened. what is your reaction to that? how damaging is that to leicester? oh, obviously it is something that are very proud city could do without. but it could have been done without if we had had the data early enough

to know where the neighbourhoods, the street level, where the virus was actually being transmitted. if we had had that data is need never have come to this. what do you hope happens this week? we know there is a review coming up. i very much hope the government want to work with us to ensure that in those neighbourhoods where we have now identified, that are above average outbreaks of the virus, but work with us in the neighbourhoods to make sure that we can test a lot of people there and we can work to make sure that they understand how to spread this transmission. thank you very much sir peter soulsby. you are watching bbc breakfast this morning. the latest from the vegetable farm in herefordshire coming up. more than 70 seasonal workers have tested positive for covid—19 there. and we'll be asking the county's director of public health what's being done to keep everyone safe. that's coming up shortly, and we'll also bring you the latest news and weather. it is 26 minutes past seven.

now let's get the weather with matt. what is happening out there?‘ what is happening out there? a bit different to yesterday, let me show you the sunrise here earlier in london. we saw blue skies across many of the south and east areas but more cloud, all advancing, it is about to bring a bit of a change. a lot more cloud around through today and for some of you it is looking distinctly much much better this morning, particularly across the western half of the country. —— much much wetter. i pressure that was with us yesterday has been pushed off into the near continent and the high rings weather fronts and dry brings rain and it has been pushed across southern scotland and you can see north—west england the north wales is where the heaviest bursts are at the moment and going to break up are at the moment and going to break upa bit are at the moment and going to break up a bit and move erratically southwards and is where the heaviest bursts are at the moment and going to break up a bit and move erratically southwards and it was as we will see a bit more in the way of cloud breaks around with some sunshine. brightening up in the north of england but still with a

fair bit of cloud and one or two showers but through the afternoon south wales, south—west england will get wet at times and we will see some rain through other parts of the midlands towards the washers we see the afternoon air. bit breezy today, coming in off the atlantic, it means it will be cooler for many with the exception being the south—east corner, 25 yesterday and 2425 today before the cloud thickens this evening. 0utbreaks before the cloud thickens this evening. outbreaks of rain spread across southern counties, heavy at times, through this evening and the first part of the night. it will gradually ease into tomorrow morning, a future was not across northern and western scotland still but in between, most places will be dry with clear skies around and coolest in rural parts of scotland and northern england. tomorrow, in between two weather systems so most places will be dry. it will be a few showers across northern and western scotla nd showers across northern and western scotland and maybe north—west england. there is the next weather system into northern ireland, thicker car, outbreaks of rain developing through the day but most dry, fairly cloudy, the best of the sunny breaks with the westerly breeze will be to the east of high

ground so southern and eastern scotla nd ground so southern and eastern scotland and into the north—east of england. but once again temperatures down, we normally want this time of year with most places sitting in the mid—to—high teens. 25, 19 degrees are hi there in london. through the middle part of the week, the next weather system readily works its way in but it starts to fade away a little bit, not much in the way of rain and if anything it will produce the figures cloud with some patchy rain and drizzle, mystic conditions around the hills on the coast, mainly in the west end many places in the east of scotland, eastern and southern england will stay dry again on wednesday and some breaks in the cloud, often large amounts of cloud, and temperature sitting on the 10th of the vast majority. i pressure then will try to build in as we go through the end of the week. high as isaid through the end of the week. high as i said tends to bring in drier weather. the winds fall lighter across southern areas as well so when the cloud breaks here, it will feel much warmer. a bit more breeze to the north and west of scotland and across northern ireland with some splashes of rain later in the day. you are up to date. that is the

latest forecast. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. let's return to one of our top stories now. attacking a 999 emergency worker could result in a two—year prison term, under government plans to double the maximum sentence in england and wales. earlier we heard from paramedic lizzie smith, who explained how she was sexually assaulted while treating a patient last year. we were working one night shift, got called to a man who had been assaulted and he just had some kind of minorfacial cut so assaulted and he just had some kind of minor facial cut so we got him to the back of the ambulance and i was just carrying out some standard checks on him, blood pressure, heart rate, things like that. and i sort of noticed him giving me prolonged periods of eye contact which was making me feel quite uncomfortable, but didn't think too much of it. i then reached over to pop something in our bin of the ambulance which is

when he grabbed my bum. i would say it's an extremely common at —— occurrence in the ambulance, yeah. my occurrence in the ambulance, yeah. my experience personally is relatively minor but it is common. i say once or twice a week, at least something verbal and then other collea g u es something verbal and then other colleagues have had worse and physical stuff as well. we're joined now from westminster by the justice secretary, robert buckland. thank you very much for being on the programme with us this morning. hopefully you could hear what lizzie smith told us earlier on this programme as well. labour have been talking about this and saying they wa nt to talking about this and saying they want to see these sentences increased to two years back in 2018 but the government felt that one year was enough. why the change?” think like every responsible government, we look at the information we receive and make assessments and change those assessments and change those assessments according to the situation. that's why i am launching this consultation today. because

lu cy‘s story this consultation today. because lucy's story and indeed these are stories of many other frontline workers, particularly during this time of covid, have really hit home, not just with us time of covid, have really hit home, notjust with us but time of covid, have really hit home, not just with us but with time of covid, have really hit home, notjust with us but with the public as well. the vital importance of doing everything we can to safeguard our frontline doing everything we can to safeguard ourfrontline emergency doing everything we can to safeguard our frontline emergency workers, whether they are paramedics, ambulance people, police, prison officers. everything that needs to be done should be done, hence today's announcement. that was lizzie, just as a reminder for our viewers. many viewers will be shocked by lizzie's story for top she was assaulted in an ambulance, the police were outside, she spoke to the police, they told her to report it and yet this man who had no remorse whatsoever ended up with community service and a fine. welcome at lizzie's story is an important example of how vital it is that we give people in her position, doing an invaluable public service,

as much pot —— as much confidence as possible. while i cannot comment on sentences passed, what i need to make sure is that magistrates, crown courts, have the requisite powers to deal with this type of offending. we have of course offences of a sexual nature that can be charged, serious assaults can be charged, but i think there is a gap with regards to offences that would normally be regarded as a common assault for which the normal penalty was six months. of course, for emergency workers, it was a year, but increasingly to two years —— increasingly to two years —— increasing it to two years makes it consistent with assault resisting arrest which police officers are often involved in for which the maximum is two years. for greater consistency, it sends a clear message that we are determined to protect all our emergency workers in whatever section of public life they

find themselves. we also spoke to a firefighter called david this morning and his point of view is, he was attacked, and he said many of his colleagues had been, on bonfire night, with people throwing fireworks after they had set a trap for firefighters to come to a certain land post which they set on fire and then they set off fireworks. people attacking them routinely are in no way, to his mind, aware of this legislation. so we'll stiffer sentences actually make a difference in protecting our emergency workers, do you think?” think they can do. in this particular crisis of covid, we have seen sentences being passed a sentences, to people who have spat at and assaulted emergency workers in the particular context of the covid pandemic. and i think that those sort of cases really send a clear message to potential perpetrators out there that this sort of behaviour is notjust

criminal. it offends and discuss the general public. we want our emergency workers to feel as safe as possible. they are there to keep us safe 24—7 and we owe them notjust a debt of gratitude but we also owe them an obligation to do as much as we can to protect them from the sort of behaviour that that firework are described and indeed what happened to lizzie as well. those individual stories really help drive home the importance of the need to protect our emergency workers. there are a couple of things i wanted to talk to you again this morning. i am sure you again this morning. i am sure you are aware of this local outbreak ona you are aware of this local outbreak on a vegetable farm and matt hancock, the health secretary, was talking about 100 outbreaks a week which the government are dealing with. can i ask you this morning, for a bit of clarity. a lot of viewers are asking this same sort of question. what actually constitutes an outbreak? those outbreaks that manhattan —— matt hancock were

talking about that there are over 100 a week, according to him. what we look for is particular criteria and about the level of contagion. in particular area, how many individuals have gone down with covid. that might be in workplace, a larger area, a village, town. each case of course will differ but we know it when we see it when we, for example, in herefordshire, an outbreak significantly larger number of people going down with this dreadful disease. then the average and then the prevalent numbers. a bubble being breached, that doesn't constitute an outbreak? i defer to the experts in this and they know what an outbreak constitutes when they see it. i

think we each one that we see, we get more knowledge, more sophisticated and are able to respond in appropriate ways. the fa ct respond in appropriate ways. the fact that we are seeing a particular response in a particular workplace in one part of the country, i think should give people confidence that what we're trying to do is break this down rather than just having indiscriminate lockdowns which can of course cause huge discrete —— disruption to tens of thousands of people, really targeting the resource on a particular workplace ora resource on a particular workplace or a particular area where an outbreak has occurred and the rates are well above and significantly above what we're seeing as an average. one other area of confusion, it is great to spend time with you today to clear this up, is the wearing of face masks or face coverings. people have seen boris johnson, the prime minister, talking about a stricter approach on friday. there he is wearing a face covering.

and michael gove yesterday said he didn't think face coverings in shops in england should be compulsory. can you clear that up for us this morning, the start of this new week, what is the government's position on the wearing of face coverings in shops? don't forget, the advice we have given when we relaxed the two metre rule to one metre was that one metre rule to one metre was that one metre rule to one metre was that one metre rule should be accompanied by what we call mitigations, by actions. but all of us... can you see there is a lack of consistency between what the prime minister has said and what michael gove said yesterday? what michael was saying was he didn't think it should be mandatory, he said it made eminent sense and it was courteous and good sense, for people to wear masks in small spaces that might be a small shop or a small retail outlet. he was not saying that people should not wear masks or take any mitigating actions at all, it is clearly the case that wearing a mask is an act of altruism. it doesn't

actually protect you from the disease but it prevents inadvertent transmission by the wearer to somebody else. and i think the important part here is confidence. we wa nt important part here is confidence. we want people to wear say yeah be safe and confident and there are a lot of people that have not ventured out and very soon, people who have been shielded will be able to go out and about from august. we owe it to them to be, to try and make places of work or shops or whatever, such as safe as possible and the wearing ofa as safe as possible and the wearing of a face covering can really help do that. do you wear a face covering ina shop do that. do you wear a face covering in a shop now? yes, i do, i carry one with me. i think outside is one thing with social distancing, but a small shop i think is a very sensible place to wear a covering. it protects people working in the shop and also anybody else who might come into contact with. people you have never met before, let us not forget, this is very important. now many of us are coming into contact with people we haven't met and been

with people we haven't met and been with and therefore i think a mask is additional mitigation that isn't just an active courtesy, i think it is an act of safety and public...” am not trying to catch you up with these questions, by the way, i am just trying to ask what you are doing this. would you wear a face covering in a supermarket?” doing this. would you wear a face covering in a supermarket? i think carrying one with me and wearing one into a supermarket is a good idea andi into a supermarket is a good idea and i think, frankly, the best thing to do is to carry on wearing it. i think if the supermarket is very busy then wearing it is absolutely sensible. i think people can be trusted to have the good sense to make thejudgement trusted to have the good sense to make the judgement call. if one has gone into a supermarket very early in the morning and there is nobody around, well, that's one thing, but i think the point is where you are coming into close contact with people, you want to give them the confidence that you are doing everything you can to prevent inadvertent transmission of this

disease. ok, i find it interesting today, i am sure many of our viewers are having these discussions themselves this morning about wearing face coverings or choosing not to, whatever their own opinion might be, say you are trusting the british public, and in this regard, things are slightly different in the different nations, but you are getting quite strict advice about wearing face coverings on public transport but not that same advice when it comes to shops, why? in public transport, you are sitting or standing ina public transport, you are sitting or standing in a place for a fixed and sometimes quite a long period of time. you might be near to the same person or people for a long period of time. it might be ours while you are in the carriage or compartment with somebody else. with shops, of course, people are always moving about. people come and go, people are only in shops for a few moments and other people take longer, depending on what the nature of their shopping years and therefore they are different environments. i think that my observations are

closed environments, i think are important ones and i think for the use of a covering in a closed environment, a small one, is a sensible course of action. but can you understand why people, i am just trying to, watching this this morning, they might think if there was clear guidance on what to do and rather than saying you can do what you like, we spoke to shoppers in manchester on the weekend and some would say i wouldn't go in a shop and some people said i can't believe they were not face coverings in there, but if there were clarity from yourself, it would make people you don't let people we're talking about, they might want to go out shopping because of i think labour are saying that compulsory wearing of face coverings in shops would inspire more confidence. we keep the matter under a constant and almost daily review. what i have said to you today i think reflects the good judgement on millions of people and increasingly, as we ease the

lockdown restrictions and more and more of us come into contact with each other, the wearing of a covering seems a sensible mitigating approach. we all want our shops to thrive, we all want to increase confidence, and i think the one metre rule is a great step forward but the mitigations, the steps we need to take, notjust washing our hands but also taking care to observe these distances, can be assisted by the wearing of a covering. and that is why i think that it covering. and that is why i think thatitis covering. and that is why i think that it is important that we trust the british people. we have come this far together. this effort hasn't been just a matter for government direction, it has been universal endeavour and i think in that spirit, people can be trusted to do the right thing. robert buckland, appreciate your time, thank you forjoining us. kat is here with sport and...

fantastic kat is here with sport and... fa ntastic test. kat is here with sport and... fantastic test. as you said in the end, england england slipped to defeat in the first test of the summer, losing by four wickets to the west indies in southampton. ben stokes said he had no regrets over the decisions he made as stand in captain as the match went down to the final day. here's our sports correspondentjoe wilson. for all the theories which swirl around test cricket, it can be simple. ten wickets or 200 runs. job done. england dismissed two west indies batsmen atjofra archer pace. 0h, got to be out. mark woods, quick too. 27—3, when hope left the field. but then it was jermaine blackwood. pleasant. a dashing batsman who played the occasion. england had chances to get him out. ifjos buttler had held this catch, well... west indies were halfway there when chase fell to archer. but blackwood. .. that's a good shot. nerveless. still, 11 to win. when he was finally out for 95 he'd done enough.

the winning moment, on the final evening. victory for the west indies. so much had gone into cricket's restart, this match deserved to hold our attention and it'sjust the first of the series. lots of cricket to be played. i told the guys, there's 15 days of cricket we have in this series. we've so far finished five. we've got ten tough days left at the end of the series and we've got to be up for every single day. and every single session. i've really enjoyed the challenge of managing everything. last night was my worst night, thinking about today. the other nights, i was actually all right. i managed to get to sleep easily. but i can see how rooty loses sleep, considering he does it full—time. yeah, joe root will be back to captain england. the biggest compliment for the first ever lockdown test, it was throughout a proper match. joe wilson, bbc news. day. you are up to date. that is the latest forecast. the second test starts in manchester on thursday. some normal service has resumed in formula 1 — lewis hamilton dominating the sport once again. the reigning world champion bounced back from finishing fourth at last weekend's opening

race to cruise to victory at the styrian grand prix in austria. his mercedes team—mate valtteri bottas was second. one thing that's very different, though, is the presentation ceremony — using technology to maintain social distancing. there goes the trophy, and a specially designed trolley. in the premier league, tottenham came from a goal down to beat arsenal in the north london derby. the gunners went ahead when alexander lacazette hammered in this belter from almost 30 yards. spurs equalised through son before toby alderweireld rose highest to seal the win. they move up to eighth, and ahead of arsenal, with the win. a 12—year—old boy has been arrested for sending racist social media messages to crystal palace's wilfried zaha before their game against aston villa. 0n the pitch, villa boosted their hopes of survival with a much—needed three points. the egyptian trezeguet with both goals as villa won 2—0. they're still four points from safety with three games remaining. bournemouth have also thrown themselves a lifeline.

they fought back to beat 10—man leicester 4—1. it was a nightmare day for leicester who went from 1—0 up to 2—1 down and had a man sent off, all in the space of two frantic second—half minutes. wolves kept up their hopes of reaching the champions league next season by beating everton 3—0. diogojota here got the pick of the goals, with wolves hoping to catch chelsea in the top four. they meet on the final day of the season. manchester city will find out today if the appeal against their two year champions league ban has been successful. city were handed the punishment for breaking financial fair play rules but have appealed the decision to the court of arbitration for sport. the decision is due at 9:30 this morning. that could be the biggest result of the season for manchester city, whether or not they will get to play in the champions league next season. we will find out in around two

hours' time. and they could win it before all of that, couldn't they? thank you for all of your comments this morning on the wearing of face coverings. we have been speaking to the justice secretary about the guidance for england and to let us know what you think and we will try to read through some of those comments later. some strong opinions on all sides of the debate. pubs, restaurants and cafes can register online to take part in the chancellor's eat out to help out scheme from today. sean's looking into how it will work and whether customers are hankering for half—price meals? it sounds great in principle but how is it going to play out and help the hospitality industry more so? good morning. we as customers will not be able to use these vouchers until august on monday, tuesday and wednesday but through today those restau ra nts a nd wednesday but through today those restaurants and pubs and cafes that serve food and register to be part of the scheme with 50% off those meals. it will be run by hmrc, they

will be releasing more details of businesses later today when the online portal opens. will it help? will restaurants be queueing to sign 7 let's speak to nisha katona, the owner of the mowgli chain of restaurants. good morning. will you be signing up today? gosh, absolutely. as soon as we heard there was no question in our mind, it is what is needed because consumer confidence is low and this was a real oxygen, but the economy needed and this is a really good job from government to say go out, eat out and it is the messaging that we as restauranteurs out and it is the messaging that we as restaura nteurs really out and it is the messaging that we as restauranteurs really need to be coming out of treasury. you have had a few weeks now of seeing how customers are reacting to going into restau ra nts a nd customers are reacting to going into restaurants and doing more than they have been doing for the month before that. have you got an idea of actually what kind of benefits this 50% off meals at the beginning of the week will bring to you?” 50% off meals at the beginning of the week will bring to you? i tell you, one of the realities in

hospitality is that august is one of the quietest months anyway so we came out of locked down in a believer in state and this is the case for most restaurants, because of social distancing we are down to about 50% of revenue in restaurants and you are only beginning to get (50% of and you are only beginning to get 60% of revenue so despite the grins of hope the restauranteurs have, it isa of hope the restauranteurs have, it is a very, very tense time. we came out of locked down into the time when we are historically the quietest, august, and so what this does is sort of age those people who are undecided to eat out or not to come and dine out and there is outside teaching and social distancing and we are absolute professionals at maintaining those covidsafe environments so i think what we're finding industry and is people are choosing to eat in a re sta u ra nt people are choosing to eat in a restaurant rather in their own home, to keep it together with other family members the family bubble that hasjoined to family members the family bubble that has joined to yours, family members the family bubble that hasjoined to yours, they family members the family bubble that has joined to yours, they are coming out rather than kind of

selling their own dining rooms, it seems, so so far, so good. i've had kerry who has got in touch with me, saying her craft ale bar doesn't qualify as it's drinks only. they can't claim the bonus for bringing staff back because staff are part time and don't earn enough. so she doesn't qualify for the job retention bonus where you get £1000 from every employee that you bring back from furlough and keep them on your payroll until january. do back from furlough and keep them on your payroll untiljanuary. do you feel that the vat reduction is an advantage for bigger chains but not helping small businesses?m advantage for bigger chains but not helping small businesses? it is difficult because the complexion there is notjust that it is smaller companies, it is also that they are wetland and from the food industry and the restaurant, the food led industry, and so there is the argument that is in terms of the vat break it has been such a lifesaver, i cannot tell you —— wet—lead. at a time when brent or whatever the case

will be outgoings that are consta ntly will be outgoings that are constantly haemorrhaging out or whatever else and so many of these restaurants and bars will never open again and that is what is so very sad. it is hard to have a quality —— a policy that satisfies everyone and my heart goes out to those struggling with it but what is good about the proposal so far is that they are quick and easy to calculate. for those that fall through the net and my heart does go out to them and we do in some ways fall through, and in some ways but right now, it is a very simple thing to calculate and i know we will get the money very soon and pump it back into the business so we can continue to grow and create jobs. it is a key pa rt to grow and create jobs. it is a key part of all of it, the cash flow. nisha katona, thank you, we will checkin nisha katona, thank you, we will check in with you in august to see how it has affected customers. it is quite brittle to hear, she hopes it will work for her but nisha hopes there will be customers for restau ra nt there will be customers for restaurant out there that will not be able to do that. thank you,

changing landscape. it is 52 minutes past seven. it wasn't just the road traffic which ground to a halt during the lockdown. many of our waterways and canals fell silent, too. that might sound like a good thing for wildlife but the rspca says a lack of boats is causing the water to become stagnant and potentially fatal to birds. brea kfast‘s tim muffett has the details. there are more than 600 bird species in britain. different types face different challenges. waterfowl, such as geese and ducks, are particularly susceptible to avian botulism — a disease that occurs when birds ingest toxins produced by bacteria in water. it will cause paralysis, their wings will be spread out, they will be collapsed on the ground, won't be able to fly. sometimes, they have a head wobble where theyjust can't move at all. it does kill hundreds every year. avian botulism is more likely to occur when the weather is warm and the water is stagnant.

it's much less likely to occur in rivers that are free—flowing or waterways that are being used. as the boat will go through the canal, it will be disturbing the water, raring it up and disturbing it. if there is no—one using the water, it will become still and causes the bacteria to grow. so the rspca suspects that lockdown has led to more cases of avian botulism because many waterways have been underused. in this park, a fountain has kept the water oxygenated and the birds seem healthy. but elsewhere, warm, stagnant water seems to have taken its toll. tim muffett, bbc news. let's speak now withjessica pierce from the rspca, who is in bolton. good morning to you. can you tell me first of all we seeing so many

deaths among the birds at the moment? obviously it is the increase in hot weather is when we tend to see it. but the first time i have dealt with it a few weeks ago, this summer, it was obviously at the canal and summer, it was obviously at the canalandi summer, it was obviously at the canal and i have never seen it at a canal and i have never seen it at a canal before and that is obviously because of lockdown, there is no flow of water and that is what is causing it. what is avian botulism and what does it do? it is a really nasty disease, there are lots of different factors that cause it but when toxins are released from bacteria and the birds eat that. then it causes a disease inside so the symptoms will start with the legs being paralysed and not able to use their wings and eventually it paralysed as the neck so a lot of times you will see their neck bubbling and then they drown because they cannot hold their head up. it is terrific. is this only because of lockdown or are there other factors?

we have seen it, we see it every year but this is the first time i have seen it in a canal but it is usually when there is an increase in hot weather and no oxygen in the water so we see it in lakes and ponds and still sitting water. yeah, and there is no oxygen so the food that sits at the bottom obviously geese and swans are bottom feeders so they will eat the rotten food off the bottom and that is what causes it. it is not nice at all and it happens not just here, it. it is not nice at all and it happens notjust here, all over. what should people be doing to help? you mentioned feeding the geese. is that safe? yeah, i mean, there are a lot of arguments for and against but i think people are still going out i'm still feeding them butjust try and make sure you feed them the right thing so peas and corn, oats, shredded lettuce, things like that. at the end of the day it is notjust people feeding, it is factors of everything but mostly the weather. but really we just need people to look out and people to be aware of

what the symptoms are and bring us straightaway if they see anything. jessica, thank you. 56 minutes past seven. thank you for being with us. you will be asking what is happening with the weather and matt is with us and can tell us all about it. is a cloudy and cool with a bit of rain? you got it! it will be, certainly compared with yesterday, 25 in the sunshine in south east england and it rained later run across parts of western scotla nd later run across parts of western scotland and northern ireland and it is the rain that will be heading south through today. let me show you the chart, the weather front here, it isa the chart, the weather front here, it is a zone of thicker cloud into the atmosphere but it is thick enough to produce rain. moving out across northern england, north wales, this is where we have heavier bursts of rain so far this morning. showers in its wake across parts of scotla nd showers in its wake across parts of scotland and northern ireland but to the south and east clear skies, sunshine warming up quite quickly at the moment and increasing through the moment and increasing through the day and some in east anglia will stay dry throughout into the rain

spreads across wales the midlands heavier bursts this afternoon will be in the south—west but more sometime around this afternoon across parts of central eastern scotla nd across parts of central eastern scotland and northern ireland. 0ne or two isolated showers in the west mostly dry but the wind coming off the atlantic 15 degrees on those western coasts compared to 20 towards the east. similar story in northern ireland and northern england, an improvement compared with yesterday but show was around, mid—afternoon, the heaviest best of rain, afew mid—afternoon, the heaviest best of rain, a few heavy bursts of rain to the south—west midlands and parts of east anglia. in this evening, we will see the wetter weather spreading across east anglia and the south—east. temperatures here perhaps 25 yet again. the rain will ease off eventually later on in the night. it will be a warm night in the south—east corner, 15—16. the was going through eastern scotland northern england with temperatures into single figures for one or two but overall it will not be actually started tuesday. we are in between weather systems on tuesday, a ridge of high pressure building in trying to keep things dry. with a front

clears and then another one approaches and it will make everyone —— inroads to northern ireland as we go through the morning and afternoon are turning grey here without racks of rain later on. still some showers across the north of scotland, we could not reliably on isolated showers in western parts of england, and actually most of you tomorrow we are in between weather systems so it will be dry and the sunniest condition central eastern scotland, north—east england again but the air will be that little bit cooler, a big difference for those in the south—east, not 25 anymore, it will around 19 but most bases a few degrees down on where we should be at this stage injuly. as i go into the middle part of the week and beyond, we have got a weak weather front just across western areas in particular, spreading its way eastward. that allows south—westerly winds to dominate. with winds falling lighter across the south—east as we go through the week and hopefully increasing amounts of sunshine once again, we will see temperatures rise, we could get to 27 or 28 degrees in the london area as we get the weekend. never quite as we get the weekend. never quite as warm but certainly warmer than it

will be to start this week across scotla nd will be to start this week across scotland and northern ireland and across some western areas they will be cloud and a few patches of rain and drizzle but actually for most of you on wednesday onwards the story will be predominately a dry one. that is how your weather is looking, sally and dan, the headlines are next. good morning. welcome to breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today. 73 workers at a farm have tested positive for covid—19 as the health secretary reveals more than 100 localised outbreaks are being dealt with every week. a further easing of lockdown in england as beauty salons, nail bars and tattoo parlours open their doors again, but a long list of treatments remain banned. the dust covers come off some of our finest treasures as the national trust reopens some of its properties. what's the appetite for a half price meal deal? from today our favourite places

to eat out can sign up to the government picking up 50% of the tab in august. a huge moment in the season for manchester city. they'll find out later this morning whether their appeal against a two—year ban from the champions league has been successful. it's monday 13th july. our top story. around 200 seasonal workers have been quarantined on a vegetable farm in herefordshire after 73 of them tested positive for covid—19. it comes as the health secretary matt hancock has revealed that more than 100 localised outbreaks of coronavirus are being dealt with "swiftly and silently" every week. we'll talk to our political correspondent chris mason in a moment but first let's speak to geeta pandse, who's outside the farm in mathon. geeta, what's the latest?

good morning, dan. yes, around 200 workers are currently self isolating on this farm, which is close to malvern and they produce vegetables here, so seasonal workers come here to pick and pack the product but as we understand, a few workers tested or certainly showed signs initially of having covid—19, so the entire workforce was tested and 73 came back positive. as a result, they effectively created a lockdown here on the farm. now, during the harvest season, the workers do stay on the farm in mobile homes, so that's where they are staying, they are not allowed to leave, so essentials like food for example are being delivered by the local authority. public health england have said this is the first serious outbreak on a farm but local health officials are saying the risk to the wider community is very low and they believe the outbreak has been contained. health officials are monitoring the

situation and the farm is currently close to the public. geeta, thank you for the update. let's speak now to our political correspondent, chris mason. chris, according to the health secretary, this sort of localised outbreak could be happening more than we realised? yes, good morning, sally. matt hancock the health secretary for england has written a piece in the daily telegraph this morning setting out exactly what is happening right now. this is all about the test and trace now. this is all about the test and tra ce syste m now. this is all about the test and trace system that is in operation in england, a similar system but slightly different names elsewhere in the uk, so it's launched just over a month ago, already reached 144,000 people. he says it is absolutely central to what we are also seeing around the country at the moment, which is an easing of the moment, which is an easing of the blanket lockdown restrictions, so you need the capacity to do it locally, and avoid an attempt to avoid doing it on a national level. now he says in this article that each week there are more than 100 local elections taken across the country and some of these will make

the news and others will be dealt with more swiftly and silently. i've spoken with the department of health this morning to understand what he means by that. what he means is, for instance, the incidence that we have seen where individual pubs have been closed on a local level, where testing has been cranked up of local testing has been cranked up of local testing sites, delivered to a locality, and the reason this can happen as there is now postcode level data for outbreaks, so this isn't about a smattering of outbreaks in a town or city, that isn't what we're talking about here. it's there is evidence a particular case has led to it being passed on to somebody else and potentially to somebody else as well, some are localised chain of transmission which these measures try and sit on and squash to ensure they don't spread. there's been confusion over the weekend on the government's policy on the wearing of face coverings? and it hasn't gone away even this morning. we are hearing different things. it's all about face coverings, and where we should wear

them and it varies around the uk saw in england coming up to wear them on public transport. in scotland you have to on public transport and in shops, in wales, the guidance is a little looser, it's more guidance rather than enforcement. in northern ireland, you're meant to wear them on public transport. is it confusing? well, yes it is because of the different situations around the uk, but also the different advice we are hearing in from government ministers based at westminster. here was robert buckland, the justice westminster. here was robert buckland, thejustice secretary, on brea kfast buckland, thejustice secretary, on breakfast in the last half an hour. i think carrying one with me and where and when into a supermarket is a good idea and i think frankly the best thing to do is to carry on wearing it. ithink best thing to do is to carry on wearing it. i think if the supermarket is very busy than wearing it is absolutely sensible. i think people can be trusted to have the good sense to make the judgment call. and if one has gone into a supermarket very early in the

morning and there's nobody around, that's one thing and i think the point is where you come into close contact with people, you want to give them the confidence that you are doing everything you can to prevent inadvertent transmission of this disease. is it unfair to say robert buckland is all over the shop about which shops it would wear a face mask in which ones he wouldn't wear a face mask? well, maybe it's a little unfair, but it gets to the essence, doesn't it, about what the advice in england currently is? beyond public transport where you have to wear one, everywhere else it is guidance, up to us to employ our ownjudgment. now is guidance, up to us to employ our own judgment. now part of that is inevitable because part of the unlocking process involves handing back more powers to us to make a decision, but there are others who say, look, in england there should be the clarity there is in scotland and elsewhere in the uk as well and that these things should become mandatory in shops too. it is not going to happen? we don't yet know. chris, thank you very much indeed. this is something of a button set as

well, constantly reviewing this advice, so many comments on this today. some people feel very strongly about those polarised views, anthony has got in contact to say they should be mandatory, clarity is key. kelly says it should have been compulsory from the start. probably a bit late now. i would need to also see a huge campaign of adverts showing us exactly what to do, we are to wear them for clarity for the public. hillary has e—mailed to say for goodness' sake, but the government make a decision and tell eve ryo ne government make a decision and tell everyone to wear face masks in enclosed spaces? there is no good relying on the public. we've seen that from beaches and protests. george said the government made a big play about coughing and sees sneezing into tissues at the start ofa do sneezing into tissues at the start of a do nothing since i'm sure a face covering does just that without the we are having to think about delving into their handbag. the other side of thing, seriously fed up other side of thing, seriously fed up says, absolutely not for pandemic is rapidly receding, while face coverings needed now four months

later? why should we wear a useless piece of cloth just to give other people confidence? someone else says icame to people confidence? someone else says i came to the conclusion on saturday that it i came to the conclusion on saturday thatitis i came to the conclusion on saturday that it is something i need to do. i've been reluctant if i'm honest with you but while out shopping on saturday gentlemen sneeze twice, tha nkfully saturday gentlemen sneeze twice, thankfully the other side of the screen, but all i need to do now is i know i need to stop the germs travelling somehow and a face mask seems to me to be the best way of doing it. really interesting. a massive response from you all on this today. pubs, cafes and restaurants in wales can re—open from today, but only for customers who are willing to sit outdoors. 0ur correspondent tomos morgan is in a beer garden in monmouthshire with the details. good morning. good morning. i kinda feel as though i want to join the quys feel as though i want to join the guys behind me to be honest with you. this is the royal george in tintin, and it has opened for

customers here. cafe is in restau ra nts a nd customers here. cafe is in restaurants and pubs which have outdoor spaces can open from today in wales. there has been concerned in the hospitality industry in wales because many say they can't open, they don't have a space, and also with a famous welsh weather, things might not always go to plan, but here they are opening. richard, you area here they are opening. richard, you are a landlord. talk with the safety process you're putting in place for your outdoor receptions and sitting down. what would be the process? you come in and i will take your like this. 36.4, so you are under 38, so that's absolutely fine. i will then ask you to fill out the track and trace form, for your group. from there i will ask you to sanitise your hands. and from there, our menu was on the front of the spa, you ta ke was on the front of the spa, you take a picture and then you will just go to your table and order at the bar. you've got enough space here. you have taken some bookings

for tables and we are seeing some people sitting down and having a drink as well. indeed, we got roped off so when they come in, they have to be seated by us, each table has been sanitised, and they have a lollipop on which means it's all clear to use. hopefully the weather will stay beautiful for you so you can remain open for the next week. guy's, just a quick question, is the be nice and cold? perfect. good. it looks like there'll be a lot of work going on here today and maybe if we finish early enough we can get rid of the one o'clock news may be them later. laughter tomos, thank you for your honesty, this morning. the american actress kelly preston has died at the age of 57. she starred in films including twins and jerry maguire. her husband, john travolta, confirmed on social media that she had passed away after two years of treatment for breast cancer.

beauty salons, nail bars and tattoo parlours in england can reopen from today in a further easing of lockdown restrictions. but a long list of treatments — including facials, make—up application and eyebrow and eyelash work — are still not allowed. industry leaders say salons which rely on facial treatments might be forced to close without further government support. now i'm sure we've got plenty of talented children watching this morning. but, as tiny sports stars go, this two—year—old from china takes some beating. li got into basketball after watching his dad play and he's rather good at it. the sport is hugely popular in china and videos of li's mini—dunks have proven very popular. his parents say it's too early to map out a career in professional basketball, but they'll support

him come what may. that's great, isn't it? he is so cute. very good, as well. he is brilliant. you're watching breakfast on bbc news. let's return to one of our top stories this morning and those 73 seasonal workers who have tested positive for covid—19 on a vegetable farm in herefordshire. around 200 pickers and packers are now self—isolating on site to try to contain the outbreak. karen wright is the director of public health for herefordshire. we can speak to her now. we have spoken to our reporter geeta who is outside the farm this morning and it will be interesting to see your take on what you think the situation as there now and what is happening. good morning. yes, clearly it's a concerning situation but we do know that you've got a covid—19 pandemic, and we were

expecting outbreaks. the situation on the site is that we are supporting the farm owners who are doing their very best in this difficult situation. we are providing food and provisions to all of the people on site. we have had translators on site over the weekend and that will be the same for the coming days to look after the welfare of individuals. and also to keep reinforcing those messages around reducing the risk of spread of the infection. it's about looking after the health and well—being of people on the site. it's important to say we are working very closely with other partners to provide all the best support that we come in making sure individuals have what they need and people are obviously encouraged to stay on the site. of those people who are in quarantine, are some of those local residents, as well? anybody who has been on and off the site actually has been

identified as a contact and everybody working with contacts, they have been identified as contacts they have been identified as co nta cts in they have been identified as contacts in this situation, so there are some local residents who work on the site and will be self isolating asa the site and will be self isolating as a precaution. we are getting quite a few questions this morning from viewers asking i suppose generally about fruit and vegetables. if this farm supplies four of the biggest supermarkets, should we as consumers be extra vigilant? should we be wiping down vegeta bles vigilant? should we be wiping down vegetables at the moment, do you think? i think it's a reminder that the clear message to everybody at any time of the year is that we should always be washing our fruit and vegetables. the food standards agency are very clear that there is very little evidence of risk around food but what's important is to prevent food but what's important is to p reve nt a ny food but what's important is to prevent any nora virus or anything, we should always wash the fruit and

vegetables, that's an all year round thing but that isn't anything around food issues. has production actually stop on the farm? these 200 in quarantine, are they in lockdown or are they able to continue to work? nobody is working at the moment because people either are positive or identified as a contact because we are treating everybody on the farm as being a contact. in terms of your concern about this, about the rates of infection, how many are infected and how quickly it all happened, what are your concerns around those issues this morning?” think our main priority is obviously to make sure that people are well, and people are looked after and that's the main thing that we need to be doing and that's our focus, to look after people really well. and to provide that reassurance to the local community that we are focused on containing this outbreak within

the farm situation. this is someone's home where they live on the farm, and it's important that we support people to stay on the farm and look after the health and well—being on the site. and look after the health and well-being on the site. have you spoken to those in quarantine? how are they feeling? yes, what we have done to the translators on site, and have been over the weekend with my collea g u es have been over the weekend with my colleagues as well, we go and talk to residents to make sure everybody is feeling well and has everything that they do need, so absolutely we are making sure that is of paramount importance and the main concern obviously of mr and mrs green, as well. i know it's hard to generalise but are they worried, understanding what happened ? but are they worried, understanding what happened? i think it's natural to say anybody in this situation would be concerned, any of us would, i'm sure your audience would be concerned, but i think generally people are feeling supported. they

know where to get support from. our primary care services obviously are aware of the situation and there is aware of the situation and there is a thing set up in herefordshire called the covid management support service and they will be in touch to give any advice and support to individuals but overall, people are well and we haven't got any particular concerns about anybody‘s individual health. but if they do, they know where to go and find help. sorry, i didn't mean to interrupt you there. thank you very much. the lockdown in herefordshire is the latest publicised outbreak of the virus but the health secretary matt hancock has revealed that more than 100 local flare—ups each week are dealt with "silently". so should we expect to see more local outbreaks, and what might this mean for the uk—wide infection rate? let's attempt to answer some of these questions now with professor keith neal, who is an epidemiologist.

good morning to you, keith. great to have you on the programme this morning. how concerned should we be about outbreaks, localised outbreaks, like this one?” about outbreaks, localised outbreaks, like this one? i think the key factor is being detected, the key factor is being detected, the more you detect, the more you can act quickly to suppress further spread. if we were detecting nothing, i'd be more worried. ok. can we be confident that the outbreaks can be contained in a small area? i think it depends on what the size of the areas. clearly, leicester is quite a separate issue, within a city centre, it's quite different from what you were describing on a farm which is essentially self—contained. i think theissue essentially self—contained. i think the issue is, for leicester, it appears over 10% of the cases were related to leicester, a high percentage of what is quite a small city, 335,000 people. there farm itself is about one in 40 of

reported cases, possibly linked to that farm. it gives you an idea of the scale of these small outbreaks. have the cases levelled off? should we be concerned that the rate of infection isn't dropping as much as might be expected?” infection isn't dropping as much as might be expected? i think that's the case for worry and we like to see it go down quicker, but in fact of the more testing you do the more cases you will find, like the way donald trump got parodied and mixed it up, saying stop testing, that's the last thing you want to do. interestingly, the who uses a figure of about 5% positive testing in the community as a worry point. the only places unreported i've seen was only two places, kirklees and leicester, rates of 5%, and some of those will be linked to outbreaks, so the background community rate is probably a little bit lower than it would appearfrom probably a little bit lower than it would appear from the total numbers. we have seen matt hancock talking about what he calls 100 outbreaks or

flare—ups a week that he says are being dealt with silently. is that to be expected and what constitutes an outbreak? i think that's difficult to know but i think it's probably at least two cases linked together in some form, but in a way, even one case in a care home would require particular action of taking swa bs require particular action of taking swabs of all the residents and staff, so each single case may be an incident. technically, what you call an outbreak is definitional. he also talks about door—to—door testing. how practical is that?” talks about door—to—door testing. how practical is that? i think it depends on how big and airy it is. i once swapped a whole village in derbyshire when we had a bad outbreak of meningitis and that took a lot of resources to get people tested going from door to door is practical and all you need is enough people and a defined area and hope

people and a defined area and hope people are in —— swabbed. what are the government be looking for before making any decision about lifting the lockdown there? i think a number of factors, number of cases going down, and where are they? the report from leicester i got in front of me reported by a newspaper suggesting there were three community outbreaks which might be contributing to the total number of cases and i think if you are doing widespread community testing, you can give a very good idea of how much of covid—19 is out there by the number of positive tests as a percentage. on a slightly different subject, reported the telegraph this morning suggests immunity may only last a few months after having coronavirus. what do you make of that? i had a quick read of that paper fortunately before i came on. it's quite interesting, it's not unexpected antibody levels fall and the people who had mild illnesses, have a decent and were

the ones who got antibody is the most. time will tell. currently, as far as most. time will tell. currently, as faras i'm aware, most. time will tell. currently, as far as i'm aware, no one is caught covid—19 twice badly. a lot of reports of positive tests, negative —positive, and that's probably a failure of testing, and we won't really know how effective immunity is until we see possible reinfection, so we haven't seen that yet. fascinating to talk to you, professor keith neal, thank you very much. you're watching breakfast from the bbc this morning. throughout the last few weeks we've been trying to ta ke last few weeks we've been trying to take you through the various nations of the uk as lockdown eases and today we are talking about beauty salons and nail bars and had two studios which in england can be open from today. —— tattoo studios. but they'll have to follow strict safety rules and certain treatments remain off—limits. fi lamdin is at a beauty spa in somerset to tell us more. good morning. good morning, yes, it's very much open in england,

beauty salons but as a client, a whole new raft of procedures in place, so first of all before i'm allowed in, i need my mask on and then i come into this holding pen. before i could march straight in but now i need to hand sanitiser and we are all used to doing that now. and then, have my temperature taken. 36.2, that's fine. i'm good to go so you can then come in and have your treatment. 0ver you can then come in and have your treatment. over here we have the nail is being done. the therapist is wearing a visor, gloves, the client is wearing a mask and amanda, you must be delighted you are finally open again. yes, it's wonderful. we are so pleased to be open this week andl are so pleased to be open this week and i have 13 members of staff which have been on furlough for the past few months and they are excited. we are ready to go. has the phone been ringing nonstop? yes, our lovely loyal clients have all been on the

phone. looking back in. nice and busy again. many of your treatments are still banned. they are, unfortunately, restrictions on some treatments we can do. so there are no facial treatments, no waxing or threading or anything like that. but we can do manicures, pedicures, waxing on the body, and massage. thank you very much. the government is keen to stress the reason you can't have face—to—face is because they are trying to reduce as much possibility of catching the virus and just looking here, you can see another member of staff behind the screen keeping everyone a safe as possible. let me take you upstairs to see more treatment rooms. this is obviously the picture here in england. in northern ireland, beauty salons opened last week, in scotland, they open next week on the 22nd, and wales the following week. let me take you slowly, carefully, into a treatment room. there are

some leg waxing going on in here. good morning to you. tell us what it's like wearing all the new kit as you do the leg waxing. it's not too bad, actually. we've always worn gloves before so it's only wearing the visors. that's different. we've always had high standards of cleanliness in the salon. it's not too bad. the masks are very warm anywhere with the visor, but apart from that it's not too bad, yes. it's lovely to be with the clients again. thank you. sam, thank you first of all for letting us talk to you as you have your legs waxed live on bbc breakfast. for you, seriously, it's a massive deal coming back, isn't it? a huge deal. i have a severely autistic daughter and i'm her full—time i have a severely autistic daughter and i'm herfull—time carer, so for me, this is my respite, and i have missed it so much for four months. when i come here, i canjust relax, ta ke when i come here, i canjust relax, take it easy, and have a little bit of pampering done. it's really is

hard, lockdown, without this? yes indeed. wearing the masks here doesn't make any difference, it's a bit warmer but other than that, the staff are the same, it's wonderful. well, thank you very much. we were leading in peace to enjoy your relaxing time. let me come back out because this salon is absolutely committed to keeping themselves open and they've invested in a fogging machine. tell us, and under, how it works. this is a fogging machine, which sprays a fine mist or sanitiser all around the salon which stays on the surfaces, for up to eight days, but what we will do is sanitising regularly so every day we will sanitise the health salon and it kills all the viruses. brilliant. thank you very much. this machine every lunchtime, all the clients and staff will be booted out. if you see them on the street you will know

what is going on and this is what is going to happen. it's a little bit noisy. wow! it's like a stephen king movie! can i just noisy. wow! it's like a stephen king movie! can ijust say, kudos to the lady having her legs waxed live on telly and being interviewed at the same time. i was listening very carefully, for her to scream. she was very, carefully, for her to scream. she was very, very brave. she did not flinch. that was great. you are watching bbc breakfast, still to come. the holiday firm center parcs is re—opening all of its five uk sites from today but without the swimming pools for the time being. we'll be asking the boss how he plans to keep staff and guests safe. that's coming up shortly, and we'll also bring you the latest news and weather. now let's get the weather with matt. what's happening over the next few days? good morning, a bit of cloud over the next few days which is not great

news if you want to spot a comet at the moment. some weather watchers have certainly been updated during the weekend. the best chance to see this comet. if you want to catch it you will need clear skies during the early hours of the morning and you will have to look towards the north. you've got a few more weeks of being potentially getting to see it but as we go towards the end of the month, things will get a bit more difficult but certainly something to watch out for over the coming days. there will bea for over the coming days. there will be a bit more cloud around and that is certainly the case through today and for some of you, a little bit on the dump side compared with the weekend. hence the rain so far has been over north wales and north—west england are linked into this weather front, basically an area of cloud which stretches high into the atmosphere, thick enough to produce rain and drizzle. here is where the rain and drizzle. here is where the rain has been earlier on. it is now spreading across northern england, north west midlands, and into western parts of wales. the north and west of it will see clear skies

develop, a few showers for scotland and northern ireland. sonny starts for east anglia, southern england, and the cloud will increase but with the sunshine it is going to feel quite warm once again. temperature is around 25 degrees. for most, with the wind coming from the westerly direction, a cooler day than yesterday. the heaviest of the rain late this afternoon across south wales in south—west england so temperatures will drop away through the afternoon to around 18, many in faxing temperatures in the high teens, maybe around 21 in eastern scotla nd teens, maybe around 21 in eastern scotland with some sunshine. southern england, east anglia will see rain around, heavy bursts for a time, easing into tomorrow morning. a few showers across parts of scotla nd a few showers across parts of scotland but in between most places will be dry, a fair bit of cloud, some clear skies so you may see the comet if you are out at any time tonight. tomorrow, we are almost in between weather systems and that means most will be dry. we will see another one speeding towards northern ireland through the day so a grey and damp day. a few showers

in scotland, one or two isolated ones across england and wales, but most will be dry with a fair bit of cloud, the best of the sunshine in north—east england but the breeze across england tomorrow, slightly lighter, and temperatures down to where we normally expect this time of year, most places will stay below 20 celsius, around the mid to high teens but don't forget the sun is every bit as strong and if you are lucky enough to have it, it will feel quite warm out there. as we go into the middle part of the week and beyond, another weather front, weakening as it comes across the uk but with it we will see plenty of cloud, and wednesday outbreaks of light rain and drizzle out towards the western parts at times and it will be quite misty over the health too. sunshine possible here and there, to the south and east, and temperatures down for the most part. you're up—to—date with the latest. hello, this is breakfast

with dan walker and sally nugent. let's bring you up—to—date with some of the main news today. we will take you to the national trust first. if you had a stroll around a national trust garden over the weekend, you're not alone. the charity has welcomed more than a million visitors to its outside spaces after re—opening them at the start ofjune. from today, it's starting to re—open some of its 200 historic buildings. breakfast‘s john maguire is at one of them — petworth house in west sussex. and it looks beautiful there, john. it really is. absolutely magnificent. petworth house is one of the treasure houses, as the national trust calls them, so they contain some of the very finest artworks in the entire collection right across the estate. visitors arriving today, able to go inside in 16 weeks and this is what they will see, locks of the systems we are getting more used to. a one—way

system. they will have needed to pre—book. everybody keeping two metres apart, pre—book. everybody keeping two metres a pa rt, co nsta nt pre—book. everybody keeping two metres apart, constant signage and reminders, one out, one in, you can't go in until somebody comes out. and a neat idea, a ground plan of the house, encouraging people to ta ke of the house, encouraging people to take a photo of it on their phone and then follow it around the house to give them an idea of where they used to be able to go but are not able to go to today. these plans, five houses opening today, seven by the end of the week, a pilot project for the national trust so it can learn lessons over the next couple of weeks. i have been to one of the other treasure houses in dorset, to see what preparations are being made there. the ornate, unique and valuable doors are opening once again. this is the spanish room at kingston lacy in dorset. it offers visitors the chance to walk in a world surrounded by art, antiquities and architecture

that are breathtaking and beautiful. it has been 16 weeks since the national trust closed its houses as coronavirus spread. but now, the dust covers are off and the volunteers have returned. special training sessions will help them adapt to the covid restrictions. today's session is all about you feeling as safe and comfortable to return and support welcoming our visitors back. seven houses opened this week as a pilot scheme to test run the new procedures. obviously, we tried to make it as safe as possible for you for having the two metre distance and things like that, so you'll be able to still talk to the visitors. i'm not particularly concerned, no. i think we've all got to take responsibility for our own decisions in this situation and i'm fairly confident that there have been a lot of decisions taken, a lot of discussion, and the fact that we're doing it as a pilot basis and whatever happens will be fed back, i think it's very good. so the lessons learned

here in the coming days will help to inform the rest of the national trust's estate. so we've had to think about how many people we can get in the house at once in a safe way, and how many people per room, so it is even going down to smaller situations like that. locking away its valuables, safe from footfall and sunlight would be easy, but that is not what the trust is for — its job is to connect those treasures with people. we're looking at £200 million losses this year. that is going to affect the way we're going to operate. we are still committed on our strategy, we are still committed about our core purpose, about providing these great places for the nation. but they are worth nothing if people don't see them, so it's all about providing access, managing that conservation, but also now the safety of both our staff, volunteers and, ultimately, ourvisitors. so, seven historic houses that will once again

play their part in history. and in the near future should hopefully enable the rest of the national trust's 200 houses to open their doors once again. backin back in west sussex, petworth house. this painting from 1835, painted by william witherington, and this is the north gallery, absolutely stunning inside. a hall full of sculptures, and lots of paintings by turner, i think about 20 but we will check with andrew, good morning. standing next to this magnificent turner. you can see why it's called a treasure house, you have some incredible stuff here. we have 20 turners, 17 van incredible stuff here. we have 20 turners,17 van dijks and numerous other paintings and objects by various masters and mistresses. it's

difficult to keep a collection like this going at all times but what about the challenge of it reintroducing visitor centre making sure everything is covid secure. safety is paramount and we ask to pre—book in advance. we have a one—way route around the house. not so much visitor seating as normal but the treasures remain there for everyone to enjoy. has it been a difficult process to figure out the logistics? it has, we have had to think through it carefully but we have followed the guidance and we are confident we can keep visitors and staff and volunteers safe. you are anxious to be in the first wave of houses open? we are pleased and proud to be among the first wave opening and we benefit from these wonderful and large spaces where people can move around freely so its well suited to the current climate. andrew, thank you and all the best for today. i'm sure there will be some nerves jangling, just walking past a gainsborough, as you do in

these houses! let's pick up on that point, there were seven houses by the end of the week but how did you choose them? seven houses opening by the end of the week in england and northern ireland. there is no standard country house, they are all different, some have big spaces and it's hard to work out how to get people round absolutely safely, so this is the start of a trial or pilot where we will be looking at seven houses reopening and over the course of the next few weeks and months we will look to bring more houses open as people can come and experience and be inspired by the culture. it's an extraordinary place, a national gallery for sussex for people to come somewhere like this. it will be great. the treasures, artefacts and antiquities only mean something if there is a human connection. that's absolutely right. we are looking forward to welcoming people back but we want to

do it as safely as possible and there is something about these houses which really open up a window on history. it's the appearance, the smell, what the floor feels like and the views outside and then the great art, we stand with these gainsborough, van dijk and turner pictures. it's a remarkable place. hopefully over the next few weeks and months we will open more and people can come back to experience this indoor heritage. this might be an unfair question but any idea of a timescale on when you can open the majority of houses questionably we are doing it in a slow and steady way to make sure it's absolutely right and make sure we are as safe and comfortable as possible for volunteers, staff and visitors. we have the one—way systems, and if you haven't been before you might feel you have some extra space to experience the artwork we have in these houses. the other houses being

open, barrington court in somerset opens today. kingston lacy we have just seen. we have lyme in chester, famous for colin firth emerging from the lake. petworth house. the arbery in county armagh in northern ireland and packwood house in warwickshire on friday. some of these national treasures available to see again for the first time in a long time. and i think you would look great coming out of a lake, john! i don't think so. lockdown love handles and all of that. don't give the producers ideas. remember when john went swimming? i do remember, live on the telly. very impressive. he is our own national treasure, john maguire. for the last few weeks on breakfast we've been following the progress of three osprey chicks which have hatched

in the scottish highlands. they belong to a resident pair, called louis and aila, who have used the nest in loch arkaig pine forest since 2017. this year aila laid three eggs in may and we've been able to watch them from a live steaming "nest cam" set up by the woodland trust. the trust asked for our help in choosing names for the chicks and more than 10,000 breakfast viewers have taken part in a vote. now we can exclusively reveal the results of that poll. meet doddie, vera and captain, named after scottish rugby legend doddie weir, the forces' sweetheart dame vera lynn — who sadly died last month — and the lockdown fundraising champion, captain sir tom moore. the names won 50% of the vote.

clear winners. i wholeheartedly agree with each and every one of those names, some great choices.” liked rod, jane and freddy but this has more significance. what was the other one you wanted ? has more significance. what was the other one you wanted? birdie mcbirdface. i thought that one might come up. many of us are trying to salvage our summer holidays now that lockdown restrictions have been eased — and so—called staycations within the uk are likely to prove popular. from today, center parcs is re—opening all its uk villages, with strict social distancing and other safety measures in place. we're joined now by the company's chief executive martin dalby, to tell us how it'll work. joining us from harrogate, good to talk to you. give us an idea of the sort of things you put in place to

make sure you are safe and able to open. we have been working over the last six weeks on the government guidelines to make sure we can apply all the things that are required, and we have a whole list of things we will introduce from today. first of all, we open with reduced occupancy, it's important to make sure guests can socially distance safely. we usually run at around 95% but we will open at 65% to make sure there is lots of space for people. social distancing, two metres apart, queueing systems and we will change arrival and departure times so you can arrive a little bit later and depart earlier to give more space in between for a much deeper and thorough cleaning. we have a reduced activity programme, we have introduced a food delivery service to your lodge, and we are cashless, no paper money, everything pre—booked in advance, paid in advance or paid through contactless.

lots of changes to make center parcs really safe for people to come and enjoy this summer and beyond. little bit quieter if you are able to go in terms of occupancy. everybody knows the swimming pools are shut at the moment. anyone who has been to a center parcs will know the swimming pool is normally in the centre and tends to be the big attraction. do you expect people to still pay full price even though the pools will not be open? for the next two weeks the pools are not open because of guidelines so we have offered compensation of the price paid for those who have booked to allow for the fact there is no swimming pool. when we announced the pool could open from july 27 we saw a real surge in bookings which is very encouraging. further proof that the pool is a big attraction for you. i know there are probably lots of protocols in place but what happens if there is a coronavirus case with a visitor to center parcs, what protocols do you have in place?

we will be temperature checking the swimming pools for example, people on entry and if we find they have a raised temperature we will ask a guest to go back to the lodge. we have a medical team on site at every park and they will get a visit from that medical team and unfortunately they might be asked to pack up and without coming into contact with anyone else, go back to their homes to self—isolate. we have all the information for test and trace as well so we will pass that on. you say bookings have picked up since you announced about the pools. how far ahead you announced about the pools. how farahead are you announced about the pools. how far ahead are people booking and planning their trips to center parcs given that there is still quite a lot of people talking about the potential of some sort of resurgence of the virus later in the year? center pa rcs has of the virus later in the year? center parcs has a booking window of 18 months so we have a good, broad spectrum of bookings coming in. the summer is starting to pick up and now we have opened the pools from

two weeks' time. the october half term is very strong and the couple of months leading up to christmas is also building up. i think people are starting to get more confident. center pa rcs starting to get more confident. center parcs is 400 acres of woodland, with lots of open spaces and outdoor activities so it's a good, safe place to come for a short break holiday. we have been talking this morning and speaking to the government about face coverings and masks. what do you expect some of the people visiting center parcs to do from today and what will be the staff policy? we have had a good debate around face masks, as i am sure many businesses will have had the same. where we have close contact between staff and guests, for example some leisure activities where the instructor has to come close, then face masks and visors will be in use although we are not making the wearing of masks mandatory for guests at center pa rcs. mandatory for guests at center parcs. white mandatory for guests at center pa rcs. white make mandatory for guests at center parcs. white make our business correspondence sean was talking

about —— correspondence sean was talking about -- business correspondence sean was talking about the government furlough scheme. you put 95% of staff on furlough. primark have said this morning they will not ta ke have said this morning they will not take any of the money injanuary. have said this morning they will not take any of the money in january. we are still taking into account all the announcements made last week by the announcements made last week by the chancellor but to be fair we will try to take advantage of any of the government schemes we can. martin, thank you for talking to us. the boss of center parcs, who are reopening from today. normally they are reopening from today. normally they a re 95% reopening from today. normally they are 95% capacity but he says they will operate at about 65% and the pools are open in a couple of weeks. it will still get busy over the summer. pubs, restaurants and cafes can register online to take part in the chancellor's "eat out to help 0ut" scheme from today. sean's been looking into how it will work this morning.

eagerly awaited by a lot of customers, come august. 50% off meals, monday to wednesday across the uk in august as often as you like. ta keaway—only isn't included, nor are alcoholic drinks. today we'll get an idea of how keen pubs and restaurants are for it, as they can start signing up online to be able to claim back the cash from the government from next month. we caught up with some restaurant owners, and their crucial customers to see what they make of it all. i really miss mcdonald's and five guys. i'd sayjust having, like, a really big, fat bowl of pasta. ooh, i think for me, it would be biryani. i miss the salty fries! chinese food burgers. better in a restaurant, for sure. as venues slowly reopen, the meals we've been missing are back on sale. but business is still slow for many restaurants. the ones that are more difficult for us are the ones that are in commercial parts of town, office blocks and other commerce

are a big part of the business. those people simply are not in town at the moment, so if you've got some local residents around you, it's easier. if you're dependent upon commerce, less easy. neil macleod runs a group of restaurants and bars across the north of england and the midlands. he's going to be one of the first to sign up for this eat out to help out scheme when it opens today. absolutely, 100%, across our business, yes. at the weekends, we're seeing quite large numbers of younger people, but not families coming out. and if we can encourage them to perhaps try it once or twice during august, perhaps then, they'll get over that barrier that does exist that people have, quite rightly, in many cases still quite concerned. so the doors will be open, safety measures in place, the food will be half—price. will customers return? no, i think i'm going toplay it safe for a couple weeks maybe. be a bit more cautious about it. it depends on how big the restaurant is. like, some restaurants are able to maintain social distancing.

i've mainly been sticking to kind of chains, because they kinda of know what they're doing. i'd go and eat out on a monday, tuesday or wednesday! you know, if it was a little cheaper than normal! i think i would eat myself into a carb coma and then, just know, have a nice, lazy sunday. even if people are tempted by a meal deal, it will not help every business. the businesses that are not going to be touched by this scheme are independent restaurants. they normally take monday or tuesday off, they cannot suddenly staff up — and it is a risk and a real disruption to their business. if you cannot open safely under current guidelines, if you have a very small venue, if you have no outside space, if you cannot rearrange your tables, if you are not able to trade, then you will get no benefit from this. the stakes are high. half of all hospitality employees are still off work, furloughed, with the government paying their wages with the industry expecting thousands more jobs to be lost if the latest support measures don't do what they need to.

about 1.5 million are still furloughed after reopening for pubs in england at the beginning of this month, trade was down by 45% on the same time last year — according to one survey of 3000 managed pubs, bars and restaurants. the issues are very different for different sectors. very interesting this morning that we had primark will not take the job retention bonus money but center parcs boss, the different sector, the tourism sector has been hit hard and he said he probably will take it and restau ra nts he probably will take it and restaurants today are having to decide whether to sign up for the 50% scheme. you can understand why various decisions are depending on how hard you have been hit in the last few months. sean, thank you. we we re last few months. sean, thank you. we were talking to the boss of center pa rcs were talking to the boss of center parcs about face coverings and they say they have looked into it quite extensively and made their

decisions. we have had so many comments today about whether the guidance from the government is clear in england or whether it is murky. lots of you getting in touch about what your plans are, whether you wear a face covering when you go out or not. there is one i wanted to read earlierfrom robert who out or not. there is one i wanted to read earlier from robert who works ina read earlier from robert who works in a supermarket who says, wear a face mask? why should i be put at risk? edna says, what a load of waffle from the minister this morning, one minute, weara mask, then he says in a small shop but not a supermarket. someone else, really confused about face coverings. it seems illogical, you can spend two hours ina seems illogical, you can spend two hours in a pub without a mask in a small space, but then you have to wear one any public transport or supermarket. julie says facemasks should be worn in any indoor space, shops, supermarkets, anywhere. as usual, the advice doesn't help. some really interesting opinions from you this morning so thank you for all of them.

it's been a long old lockdown — particularly for those who are shielding inside residential care homes — but we've seen so many brilliant and inventive ideas to keep spirits up. and this one is just fantastic. staff and residents at a care home in north london have been recreating some classic album covers — from queen and michaeljackson to more current artists like taylor swift. let's take a look... music: the jean genie by david bowie. # a smalljean genie snuck off to the city # strung out on lasers and slash—back blazers # ate all your razors while pulling the waiters # talking ‘bout monroe and walking on snow white # new york's a go—go, and everything tastes right # poor little greenie, ooh—ooh # keep her comin' # thejean genie lives on his back

# the jean genie loves chimney stacks # he's outrageous, he screams and he bawls # jean genie, let yourself go, whoa... # are all absolutely brilliant. i don't think i can pick a favourite. we're joined now by robert speker, who came up with this fantastic idea and also by sheila, who you saw there on the rag'n'bone man album cover. good morning to you both. thank you so much for speaking to us. sheila, what's it like to have your photograph taken like this and how did he persuade you to do it? i don't know if sheila can hear me ok that with a -- hear me ok. with a

gun. and we can see that rag'n'bone man album cover. where did the idea first come from, robert? we do have quite a big delay on the line. lockdown has been a bit difficult to try to organise activities in a totally different setting. we went into lockdown on march 12, four months ago, and there has been plenty of time to occupy our residents. i had this idea around a month ago and started to take the photographs and choosing which residents had a vague similarity to the artists. and it went from there. within about two weeks i managed to get all the photos. the last one was taken get all the photos. the last one was ta ken about get all the photos. the last one was taken about an hour before my first

child was born. got the photos, put them together, and then i showed them together, and then i showed them together, and then i showed them to the residents and they absolutely loved them. i thought, why not share a bit ofjoy in the world at the moment. to ask sheila, and there is an incredibly long delay from when we ask the questions as to when you can answer. sheila, what did your family think when they saw the album cover? they thought it was lovely. are you afan of they thought it was lovely. are you a fan of rag'n'bone man, sheila? can you hear me? we can hear you, but there is just a you hear me? we can hear you, but there isjust a long delay. about a

year ago, sheila had arranged to meet rag'n'bone man. and next to her album cover, is the original that he gave to her and signed for her before his performance. robert, you have the most brilliant ideas of how to keep residents entertained during lockdown. what other things have you been doing to try to keep everybody happy? i heard rumours about a tequila party. that's coming up in the next couple of weeks. we do lots of different things here. we are a lwa ys of different things here. we are always trying to think of new ideas and the boss lets me run with it. 99 times out of 100 theyjust about succeed. this is just times out of 100 theyjust about succeed. this isjust one times out of 100 theyjust about succeed. this is just one of them. so it has been hard in the last few

months, but even going room to room and a lot of one—to—one, making sure that things like ve day was celebrated, we had a little party with each person in their room separately so they could fully embrace ve day. normally they would have done it in a different setting, but they can still enjoy themselves having their own little party. robert, it's brilliant to talk to you both, robert and sheila, thank you both, robert and sheila, thank you for your time this morning and thank you for battling with those technical problems was that i know there is a really long delay between us speaking and you hearing us, so it's great to talk to you. it sounds like they have been having a fantastic time, so imaginative. as you get older, music becomes really important, and robert has been using music with the residents. really powerful. we got there in the end

with that five second delay. just a flavour of what they were able to do. cast your mind back five years and you may recall having many heated debates over the colour of a particular dress which was widely shared on social media. some of us swore it was white and gold. others insisted it was black and blue. well, brace yourselves for the latest optical illusion to divide the internet. of two zebras in kenya is causing a lot of confusion as to which one's head is visible — the left or right. according to sarosh lodhi the wildlife photographer who took the picture, it's the one on the left. a p pa re ntly apparently you can tell if you look closely at the ears and the shadows. not for the first time, we were wrong. that's all from breakfast today.

we'll be back from six o'clock tomorrow. have a good monday.
