hello i'm ros atkins, welcome to outside source. let's start with a major u—turn by the uk government on huawei. by the time of the next election, we will have implemented in law, an irreversible path for the complete removal of huawei equipment from our 56 network. ghislaine maxwell, the former girlfriend of jeffrey epstien, is denied bail by a judge in new york. she has pleaded not guilty to charges that she helped him abuse underage girls. more than 125 million people are going back into lockdown in india. and new figures show that the uk economy's growth was even lower than expected — and there's a warning it may take unitl 2024 to recover.

welcome. let's begin with this decision by the uk government. the uk government has reversed its position on huawei — the chinese firm is now barred from any part of the uk's new 56 network, earlier in the year, the uk said huawei would be barred from elements of the network deemed sensitive for security reasons — but it had been cleared to contribute to 35% of it. the risk was described as "manageable" not any more. today's announcement says all huawei equipment must be gone from the network by 2027. here's the uk culture minister oliver dowden. the facts have changed, so has our approach. that's why we've taken this decision that there can be no new huawei equipment from the end of this year and set out a clear timetable to exclude huawei completely by 2027 within your reversible path implemented by the time of the next election. for its part, huawei says it's a "disappointing decision" and "bad news for anyone in the uk with a mobile phone."

certainly bad news for huawei. the statement goes on to say this... here's more from ed brewster, huawei's spokesman. it's clear today that this is a decision based on us trade priorities and trade requirements as opposed to a decision about security. you know, we are very disappointed by the decision from the government. so huawei says this is all about us trade deals. well we know washington has been urging the uk to take this decision. the trump administration claims huawei provides a gateway for china to spy on and potentially attack countries that use its equipment. the us has also imposed sanctions designed to disrupt huawei's ability to get its own chips manufactured. here's oliver dowden again on that. the new us measures restrict huawei ability to import us products using us technology or software. given the uncertainty that this creates around huawei supply chain, the uk can no longer be confident it will be able to guarantee the security of future huawei 5g equipment affected by the change

in us foreign direct product rules. and here's the analysis of tom newton dunn from times radio "the biggest takeaway of today's decision? hard to get away from the cold fact that britain has become a victim of a colossal us—china fight. we'll now get 5g two years later, at a cost of £2 billion more." to help us understand all of this, here's karishma vaswani — our asia business correspondent in singapore. it's precisely because of the access to technology from the united states that huawei, because of the sanctions that washington has imposed, would not be able to use, and that's what's concerning countries like the uk going forward. it's not just simply about the national security threat. although, you know, the pressure from washington has been a big reason why countries like the uk have been re—looking at huawei in its 56 network. it's also the tech access behind it.

so this is a commercial decision, but with very real political undertones. politics is a big part of this story. here's the reaction from the us ambassador to the uk... to explain why the us is so worried about huawei, let's hear from jamieson greer — who is the former chief of staff to the united states global trade representative. what policymakers understand, at least from the public record that's available, and i think they're all very comfortable with what's on the public record is a long—standing, really relationship between huawei and chinese security services and the chinese government. you can look at this if you review just the personnel who lead huawei, their senior leadership, you can also look at the idea that huawei has been subsidized by the chinese government, they receive tax breaks and incentives, and all kinds of things that tie them closely to the chinese government's industrial policy.

so, i think policymakers around the world, notjust in the united states, but obviously there in the uk and in other countries, i don't think they seriously consider that huawei somehow has independence from the chinese government or even the security apparatus. i think everybody is aware at this point that there are laws on the books in china that require companies to comply with requests for assistance from intelligence agencies there in china. so these are real concerns that policymakers have. again, remember, they may have nonpublic information as well that they are not in a position to share. is getting some reaction from secretary of state, mike pompeo. he says... "with this decision, the ukjoins a growing list of countries from around the world that are standing up for their national security by prohibiting the use of untrusted, high—risk vendors. ..countries need to be able to trust that 5g equipment and software will not

threaten national security, economic security, privacy, intellectual property, or human rights" this is a political issue in the uk too. certainly the security crackdown in hong kong plus china's treatment of the ethnic uighurs have led to a revolt of conservative backbenchers in the house of commons. this is tobias ellwood, who's one of them. we have wanted china to mature into this responsible global stakeholder but it's become a superpower without the responsibilities that a superpower should be showing. we are going through an enduring international emergency but there is no international leadership. and what we are seeing with china, it is discreetly pressing, it is taking advantage of our rickety world order to pursue its own agenda. let's get the analysis of rob watson, our uk politcal correspondent. yes, it is. it's undoubtedly a victory for backbenchers. in many ways, one of the aspects as a fairly humiliating u—turn for the british government

is that they hadn't really seen it coming. in terms of domestic british politics, of party management, yes, mrjohnson and his government have a very large majority of 80, but critics of the government will say they should have seen this, they should have seen the unhappiness on their backbenchers. is this really about backbench unhappiness about china's behaviour? or more about mrjohnson‘s inability to fend off pressure from washington? i think it's undoubtedly a bit of both as you are quoting earlier, i think he's absolutely spot on, the first part of the problem the uk faced was that it was in the crossfire, if you like, of a battle between two much bigger powers, the united states and china. there is no doubt that the second to it all, why the government had to u—turn was because of domestic political pressure inside its own governing conservative party, which had been building for some months, where it's pretty clear

that the mood in the uk is certainly in some parts of the conservative party as soured against china over these last few months. rob, in terms of the practicalities, are we clear the uk's able to remove all of huawei's equipment from the multitude of areas where it's currently present or planned to be present in the coming years? well, certainly those conservative mps who are not very happy about huawei having any role are somewhat sceptical, and they are wanting to see that. of course, the mame telecoms company in this country said it won't be easy. i think it's really interesting, and anyways, the problem uk faces as both a practical one which is what do you do about upgrading its telecoms, how much delay is there going to be? , checks or cost will there be? but there is also, if you like, diplomatic geopolitical challenge that's come

up for the uk government that may be even bigger. that's perhaps the first instance of some of the perils it faces in a post brexit world because it's now clear that the uk is going to have more difficult trading conditions with the european union. the vote leave campaign, many of them are now in place in downing street, talking about these opportunities of doing trade with other bits of the world, big markets like china. the whole huawei episode shows that that's always going to be straightforward and that you might find yourself caught between other big powers, the united states, china and perhaps at some point, the european union itself. from rob in oxford, to zhaoyin feng from bbc chinese in washington — on what more huawei could have done to allay western fears. i doubt there is anything else the company could have done. this is really devastating for huawei, and certainly in the us, and my observations when they started to initially

cast out on huawei, the company didn't think it was a big deal. it's us market share was relatively small. later, the us sanctions and export bands really harmed the company's supply chains and washington actively lobbying its airlines, and this campaign was really hurtful for the companies image and business around the globe. it'sjust the latest major crack for huawei. china will now be deciding how to respond. what are the options available to beijing? well, no doubt that this move will not go down well in beijing. beijing has denied any direct ties with huawei, but at the same time, actively advocating for the company. earlier today, the chinese and bassett are has hinted that the uk's ban on huawei will

lead to questions about whether the uk can provide open, fair and non—discriminatory business environment for companies from other countries, so beijing might consider direct chinese investment in the uk to other countries, at the same time, it even imposed restrictions or sanctions on uk businesses operating in china in order to discourage other countries to follow uk's lead. however, this move will run the risk of beijing being seen as bullying in the world. so there is some trade—off on the beijing side, and based on the recent track records of beijing, china might likely go for the first option, to stand very strongly with huawei. and if you're listening to all of this wondering what it all means for you and the phone you use — let's go through a couple of the main questions. will this mean huawei phones stop working? no. this move affects the equipment

at radio masts and inside telephone exchanges rather than consumer devices sold by the firm. will it affect 5g service? possibly. vodafone, three and ee had all begun rolling out 5g services which are reliant on huawei's kit — they now face having to replace it with equipment from another vendor. that means 5g will remain patchy for longer than it would have done and some parts of the country will have to wait longer to get any access to 5g. the uk economy showed signs of a modest recovery connected to the easing of the lockdown — but it was smaller than economists expected. the economy grew by 1.8% percent from april. dharshini david reports. flourishing, but not quite back in full bloom. like other garden centres, this one reopened in may, but it's yet to make up the money lost during lockdown. normally, we would have a start—up in march, steady progress in march, a big april and

a big may. that didn't happen in april, it was really difficult. may has been phenomenal, the second half of it, and june has also been quite phenomenal. not just here, but for the whole garden industry. we've made up quite a bit, of course, thankfully, but we are still behind for the year. all of this is about sowing the seeds of a recovery. in the weeks after lockdown, the economy lost about a quarter of its output, wiping out 18 years of gains. as other sectors also reopened, manufacturing and construction, only a tiny bit of that was recovered in may, disappointing hopes of a full and rapid bounce back. it is not enough to open the doors again. customers have to have the confidence and the money to return. and then there's businesses who have yet to reopen, like this maker of exhibition stands. their takings have dwindled from £4 million last year to almost

nothing since march. they're desperate to know when the conferences they serve can restart. we're looking towards a very bleak autumn if we don't hear very soon, and, sadly, we've already made people redundant, and if we have no information from the government and no help from the government in the very near future, we will have to look at making more people redundant, which is not what we want to do. how are you? i'm 0k, mate, you? very nice to see you. to rally us out through this crisis, the chancellor's doling out almost £200 billion, but some businesses have already failed, and his officialforecasters still think unemployment could hit 4 million. more help might be needed. inevitably, some people coming off furloughing are going to go into unemployment rather than returning to their previousjobs. what do you do to ensure that people's spells in unemployment are no longer than they need to be necessarily? because the longer they're out,

the more likely they are to be detached from the labour market, to lose skills, and that's bad for the individuals concerned and also bad for the economy. more reopenings injune will have given the economy a boost, but history tells us it takes years, not months, to fully recoup what is lost in a crisis. there is no quick fix. to prevent the recovery wilting, it may require more tlc. dharshini david, bbc news. stay with us on 0ustide source, still to come: the dam that divides nations — can ethiopia, egypt and sudan ever agree how to manage the waters that flow through this ambitious project? wearing face coverings in shops in england will be compulsory from the end of next week. police have warned about the challenges of enforcing the new rule when it comes in onjuly 24th. john apter, is chair of the police federation in england and wales.

if a shopkeeper calls the police because someone is failing to wear a face covering or at the same time the police resources are dealing with assaults in progress or domestic violence or whatever, there is simply not enough police officers to go around. we will always do our best. but to rely solely on policing, which i've heard some others say that they should, is unreasonable, and it is unworkable. so, we all have to work together on this. this is a public health crisis. this is about looking after your fellow citizen, but keeping them safe and secure. it's not always just about relying on the police. we are policing a pandemic we would never have expected to police in the way we are being expected to police. this is 0utside source live from the bbc

newsroom. the british government has decided it will stop using equipment from the chinese tech giant, huawei, in its 5g telecoms networks. ghislaine maxwell, the former girlfriend of the convicted sex offenderjeffrey epstein, has been denied bail — meaning she'll remain in prison until her trial injuly next year. latest on the pandemic now. india has the third highest number of confirmed cases in the world with more than 900,000. you can see the increase over the last four weeks. the northern state of bihar has with a population of 125 million people — it's going into a 15—day lockdown. and the city of bengaluru — also known as bangalore — is also going back into lockdown. here's imran qureshi from bbc hindi. it's clear now, this lockdown is going to be a little more stringent than what was implemented some time ago. that was a part of

a national lockdown. this includes commodities, shops. grocery stores will be open between 5am and 12 noon, unlike last time when they were open until about 5pm. florida though is the centre of america's outbreak. it reached 100,000 cases on 22june. two weeks later later, that number had doubled. there are now more than 280,000 cases in florida. that's the third highest number in the us, after new york and california. let's get a sense of what it's like in florida's hospitals. dr andrew past—esski is the icu medical director at the jackson south medical centre. i had ihada i had a father—son pass the next everyday, you come in in c that you had hoped someone had taken a turn for the better. we put

a lot of effort into everything we try to think of. you go home and try to think about it for one night, and it come back and the room is empty. let me update you. ghislaine maxwell, the british socialite accused of trafficking minors for the late american financier and convicted paedophile, jeffrey epstien, has been denied bail and will be held in a detention centre until her trial next year. ms maxwell pleaded not guilty to charges that she helped epstein to abuse underage girls. the judge then ruled she is a flight risk and no bail conditions would guarantee her appearance in court for trial on 12 july 2021. 0ur correspondent laura trevelyan is in new york. laura, give us more details on what we have heard in the last few hours, please. well, essentially, thejudge agreed with the arguments of prosecutors that maxwell was a significant flight risk because of her wealth, because of multiple passports, british, french, and american passports, and also because she's facing a lengthyjail

sentence, 35 years, therefore she has every incentive to skip bail and avoid the trial if given the opportunity. so these were the arguments of the prosecution puts, they also went through, by the way come in quite a lot of detail how she behaved on the day she was arrested, july the 2nd up there in new hampshire at this house she bought under an alias that she tried to get away from fbi agents that her mobile phone was wrapped in tinfoil to evade law enforcement, also, we heard really very heart—rending testimony from victims of hers and epstein, alleged victims saying that they felt that what maxwell had done was be a sexual predator and groomed them that epstein was nothing without her, and that if she were allowed out, they would feeljustice might not be served. jeffrey epstein killed himself year ago and never got to face trial, so the judge accepted these arguments and maxwell was denied bail. laura,

thank you very much indeed. if you want more information on maxwell and how she fits into the epstein story, 0utside source made a video on this. you can find it in the story of her being denied bail which is on the front page of the bbc news website right 110w. still no—deal between egypt and ethiopia over an enomous new dam that ethiopia has built on the blue nile. there had been another round of talks — but no progress. the three countries affected — ethiopia, egypt and sudan will now brief the african union on where they've got to. the official name of this project is the grand ethiopian renaissance dam— and it has the potential to control much of the water that egypt uses — and when at full tilt will be the largest hydro—electric plant in africa. ethiopia hopes it'll provide electricity to over 65 million of its people who are currently without regular electricity. the construction began back 2011 and very close to complete. the crucial quesiton is when to fill up the dam's

reservoir, and then how much water ethiopia will guarantee to release — these matters are not agreed. ethiopia has said many times it will start filling up the reservoir this month to coincide with the rainy season. it's a process that is expected to take up to seven years. but there are suggestions that ethiopia has already begun filling the dam. this is a satellite image from the 26june, you can see the blue nile flowing right to left through the dam. this is another satellite image taken on 12 july, which shows water levels have risen on the right side of the dam, where the reservoir will be. ethiopia has denied it is filling the dam and says the water levels are due to heavy rains — that is something which has happened in the past — so it's impossible to say for certain if this is deliberate or not. but ethiopia's embassy in the uk has made its position clear on twitter — using the the hastag ‘it‘s our dam' to its profile name and banner picture. cameron hudson was the director

of african affairs in the us national security council under president george w bush, wow based at the atlantic council. hello. hejoins us live. thank he joins us live. thank you very much indeed for your time. just tell people coming to this story for the first time understand what are the main obstacles to a deal here? well, principally, i think the obstacles are simply that what's going to happen in times of drought? i think that when the rainfalls are plentiful, there's not a lot of concern about how quickly the dam will be filled and how much water will be filled and how much water will be filled and how much water will be released through the dam downriver to sudan and to egypt. i think the big question surrounding what happens in those drought years when ethiopia is being asked to release more water which means produce less electricity, or when ethiopia or rather egypt is facing

drought conditions and needs more water, but ethiopia and sudan have become more reliant upon electricity because they have industrialize those regions which can't afford to give up that electricity. it's really a question of what happens in the drought years. that's the biggest obstacle to overcome right 110w. biggest obstacle to overcome right now. you helped advise the bush administration on africa's security matters, would you qualify this story, this standoff, as a security issue now? well, certainly both ethiopia and egypt have defined this as being in their national security interests. so from that perspective, both sides have in recent days issued some kind of sabre rattling state m e nts issued some kind of sabre rattling statements suggesting that this was core, an existential threat to both sides whether on the ethiopia site if they could turn on the dam on the egyptian side whether they would be denied water. so that kind of

language in the diplomatic space suggests that there are national security threats, egyptjust suggests that there are national security threats, egypt just last month took this issue to the un security council saying that there was a potential threat to peace and stability and security, which is why they asked the un to take this up. soi they asked the un to take this up. so i think all sides are treating this as a potential threat to peace and security in the region. i've only got 30 seconds, but do you wish donald trump would intervene more directly to try and resolve this? welcome the trump administration intervened at the beginning of the year. i believe ethiopians thought they came into much on the side of egypt, which is why the negotiations have reverted back to both the un and the african union, so i think all sides now are seeking a more regional mediation, not one driven from washington. cameron, very very useful. thank you very much indeed. live from north carolina, and as he was income of the african union, regional body, is now reading the land trying

to resolve that. hello. it's all looking a bit dull for the next few days. cloud piling into the uk, tempering beautiful scenes like these with a flat old layer of grey. the reason for the cloud? a warm weather front advancing from the atlantic. plenty of cloud to go around, there was some brightness across eastern scotland in the northeast of england through tuesday, but i think during the next 2a hours, that front will basically spread cloud to all areas of the uk. and with the moisture coming in, it'll get pretty misty and murky around the coast, especially in the west and across the hills. 0vernight, some rain for scotland, northern england and wales, and the southeast of england some showers for northern ireland. 0vernight lows 10—13 celsius. perhaps just some early morning brightness across eastern

counties of england, but as the front continues to advance eastwards, the cloud moves in here during the day. some further rain across the northern half of the uk, there may be the odd sharper shower across into the midlands wednesday afternoon. but donning the scene will be all that cloud, grey skies, temperatures down a few degrees on average for the time of year. thursday we have some better prospects of seeing some sunshine breaking through across england and wales, and eastern scotland really favoured with a fern effect here. we could see temperatures in some spots up to 23—24 celsius. to the west, it's much grayer, wetter, and cooler. why is that? we have a cold weather front approaching. through thursday night into friday, that will start to move into scotland and across northern ireland. so for the end of the week, some quite wet prospects for western scotland and northern ireland. cooler weather coming in behind that weather front, but some brightness as we look towards the western isles. ahead of the weather front, some warmth

further south, up to 26 celsius. but on into the weekend, it's the cold weather front that will win out, gradually making its way south. the timing a little bit subject to question as to how quickly that cold front will lead its way across the uk. but it certainly looks like we'll all be moving into that fresher air through the course of the weekend, with some lovely rain around during the passage of that front. but next week, high pressure is set to build, looks like sunshise for many of us.

hello i'm ros atkins, welcome to outside source. let's start with a major u—turn by the uk government on huawei. by the time of the next election we will have implemented in law an irreversible path for the complete removal of huawei equipment from our 5g network. ghislaine maxwell, the former girlfriend of jeffrey epstien, has been denied bail by a judge in new york. she pleaded not guilty to charges that she helped epstein abuse underage girls. and new figures show that the uk economy's growth was even lower than expected — and there's a warning it may take unitl 2024 to recover. welcome. not often we talk about australian politics in the 1970s, stay with me there's a good

reason this time. back in 1975 — the then prime minister gough whitlam was sacked and replaced by the opposition. it was a huge controversy because the decision was taken by the governor—general. the governor general being queen elizabeth's representative in australia. he argued he had the authority to do this under implied powers in the constitution. the reason i'm telling you about this now is that these newly released letters from the national archives of australia show the queen was not informed in advance. there are hundreds of them between the governor—general, sirjohn kerr, and buckingham palace. john kerr wrote to the queen's private secretary on the day he dismissed the prime minister that he "was of the opinion it was better for her majesty not to know in advance" but that "of course" his duty was to tell her immediately. the palace replied he had acted "not only with constitutional propriety, but also with admirable consideration for her majesty's position". not all australians were so

glowing. the justification for the sacking was that gough whitlam had failed to get parliamentary approval for his spending plans, and was refusing to call an election. whitlam famously said this at the time of his dismissal. here we say god save the queen. of course, nothing will save the governor general. matthew doran, political reporter for abc news in australia — hejoins me now from canberra.the release of these letters has been is it overstating to say this moment shaped australian politics?” is it overstating to say this moment shaped australian politics? i think it certainly right to say that ross. in that declaration on the steps of old parliament house is etched into the australian psyche is one of the most important parts of australian history. there's long been this discussion about what role buckingham palace had in the sacking of him. given that

the constitutional crisis leading up to his dismissal had carried on for really a number of months. and really a number of months. and really started to get ahead of its own towards at dismissal. but it had been dragging on for about a year or so been dragging on for about a year or so ahead of that. there had been all this discussion about his government would be able to continue on. what options were available to the governor general at the time. and these letters that were released yesterday by the national archives, you mention hundreds it's actually 1200 pages of correspondence between government house here in canberra and buckingham count like my palace in london. it shows why he didn't tell the queen or at least her staff ahead of time that he was sacking him as prime minister, it does show that they were talking about the issue for months and months before hand. andy private secretary to queen elizabeth was advising him that he had these powers under the constitution, it was advising him that he had these powers under the

constitution, it wasn't up to buckingham pulled the trigger inside the political death warrant within his as the queens representative here in canberra. and what is the impact income has about it all back? i think there was a lot of interest about these letters yesterday from the political and legal nerd sort of circles. certainly, this is something that has been a key moment of australian history. a lot of people wonder, 0k do we really care and i'll? it was 45 years ago. can we move on? others suggesting that is potentially going to start anew to bait about a republican movement here in australia. should there be any role for buckingham palace to be advising governor general on anything or should it effectively just be somewhere that can receive correspondence and sort of leave it at that. did he overstepped the mark there? i think that's going to be there? i think that's going to be the impact of what we saw yesterday with the letters being released. but there are 1200 odd pages and i think

people are still pouring over them as we speak. is the issue of the relationship between the australian and the british royalfamily relationship between the australian and the british royal family still live or is it sort of waned as a potent political issue? it comes up now and again. the last time australia voted to become a republic backin australia voted to become a republic back in 1999, that referendum was defeated. there is a dual trigger in australia, not only do you have to get a majority of the population you have to get a majority of the states and territories also voting in favor. and it fell short there. it has been brought up again and it seems to wax and wane depending on the fortune of the royal family as well. there is this overriding sense in australia if it isn't broken don't bother fixing it. in australia if it isn't broken don't botherfixing it. at in australia if it isn't broken don't bother fixing it. at the moment i think there are many other things on the minds of other australians coronavirus on the life not like. i don't get anything that can appear anytime soon. it is a lwa ys can appear anytime soon. it is always lingering at the back of the mind, do we still need to have a foreign head of state? and if we don't, what models should take here

in australiathat is another and arguably a more pressing and wholesome debate that always happens when this issue comes up.|j appreciate you taking time for us. scientists have warned that in a worst case scenario a second wave of coronavirus cases in the uk could result in around one hundred and twenty thousand more deaths. the report says the virus can survive longer in colder conditions and is more likely to spread when people spend more time indoors. it comes as 138 more deaths have been registered in the uk in the past 24 hours, the 7 day rolling average is 82 and the total deaths is 44,968 here's our health editor, hugh pym. beeping. hospitals under pressure at the recent covid—19 peak. how does that feel? yeah? intensive care units filled with very sick patients.

now a new study says something similar or even worst now happen over the winter. we are not making a prediction, we're just trying to look at what the worst might be. but, sometimes, you just have to look at what the worst might be in order to focus your mind on the things that you can put in place to stop it happening. the reproduction number, known as r, shows the spread of the virus. above one means it is accelerating. currently, it is in a range of 0.7 to 0.9. the report looks at what might happen if it goes up to 1.7. about 120,000 covid—related deaths between september and june. but if it is at 1.5, it would be more like 75,000. and if it is at 1.1, close to the current level, there might be under 1,500 deaths. none of these allow for any government intervention. the report calls for urgent preparations to reduce risks, including supplies of ppe and training for staff.

here, they are carrying out operations for other conditions, with covid patients treated elsewhere. this is what a covid—free hospital site looks like. rigorous infection control, temperature checks for everyone coming in, including staff. hand sanitiser and masks handed out. the chief executive at this major london hospital told me he felt they were well prepared for what might be ahead. we have learned a lot in the past few months. we now know how to deal with covid. i think the treatment of covid patients has improved. we have widely testing available, so we can make a rapid diagnosis, within 30 minutes, in a&e. any following peak will be different than the first peak we've just seen in march and in april. across the nhs, some patients like libby are suffering because of a backlog of work cancelled during the crisis. her knee replacement,

due in march, was postponed, and she's still waiting. i'm even dreaming that i'm in pain and then i wake up and i am in pain, so it's the not knowing for so long, it's obviously playing mentally, and, you know, how you feel about yourself. millions of patients waiting for surgery and a possible flu outbreak will, according to the report, add to the intense pressures which another covid surge could bring. stay with us on 0ustide source, still to come: we find out how easily people can be misled by conspiracy theories over the coronavirus pandemic. wearing a face covering in shops and supermarkets in england is to become mandatory from 24july. there's been criticism that the move has taken so long — but politicians say they've been guided by the science. 0ur health correspondent anna collinson has been looking at what the

scientists have actually said. from the beginning of the crisis we've been warned that a single cough could spread the virus. but there is now growing evidence that tiny particles can spread and hang in the air. particular tickly and crowded and close settings like a supermarket. masks are one smart way to drink reduce the transmission of the virus. there is more evidence that people can be infected. but not show any symptoms. it's these asymptomatic peoples who could potentially be out and about in a community, unknowing that they are infected and potentially spreading the virus. we are not wearing a face mask might also help in those cases. another significant development happened when world health organisation changed its advice on face coverings in june. organisation changed its advice on face coverings injune. they now advise coverings should be worn in public where social distancing is not possible. but some within the medical community want company repeatedly met coverings to be mandatory now. we delighted that it's come. disappointed it's come

so late and disappointed it's not happening quicker and disappointed it is only in shops. but it's a step in the right direction. so do you feel like attitudes are really changing now in relation to masks? yes. ina changing now in relation to masks? yes. in a few people that have very fixed idea. but within the medical profession we've moved a long way on this and people are also starting to understand that the public health view is very different from the hospital view of masking ppe. the scientific community and politicians may be changing their attitudes about face coverings but as this graph suggests, people in the uk are still to be convinced. just 36% of people say they wear a mask in public. compared to 82% in china and 86% in spain. this is 0utside source live from the bbc newsroom. the british government has decided it will stop using equipment

from the chinese tech giant, huawei, in its 5g telecoms networks. ghislaine maxwell, the former girlfriend of the convicted sex offender jeffrey epstein, has been denied bail — meaning she'll remain in prison until her trial injuly next year. let's look at some of the day's other news. at least nine soldiers have been killed on the third day of fighting between azerbaijan and armenia. the fighting has prompted calls for an immediate ceasefire from the united states and european union. the police chief in the german state of hesse has resigned over allegations of links between the police and the far—right. police computers were used to obtain data about three prominent women who were then sent threats from neo—nazis. the police chief said he knew that data was being accessed by the police computer, and failed to pass on the information soon enough. france has honoured its health workers at scaled—down events to mark bastille day. authorities cancelled the traditional military parade but instead held a tribute to

those tackling the virus. conspiracy theories have thrived during the pandemic, and here on os we've sometimes taken a closer look at some of them, to take them apart, and understand how they spread. but how can you talk to someone who believes in one of them? the bbc‘s disinformation reporter marianna spring has been finding out. in preparation for this, i was describing myself as very normal, very ordinary, very plain. i've received plenty of e—mails about coronavirus conspiracies. from false claims suggesting that 5g is linked to the virus, to the idea the whole thing is a hoax. and this one making misleading claims about bill gates and vaccinations. this e—mail is from simon

and he recommended addressing conspiracy theories based in fact. so, there is no patented for the new coronavirus that causes covid—19. the confusion about this comes because there is a patent for a different coronavirus that affects livestock, like poultry and pigs. and this patent is owned by the pirbright institute in the uk. the link with the gates foundation is real. it does fund the pirbright‘s work in other fields but not in connection with its work on coronavirus. simon is a dad of three from shropshire. he also likes looking in to conspiracy theories on youtube. so, i invited professorjovan byford to meet simon and talk about how to tackle conspiracies. they spoke about the definition of a conspiracy theory, simon's concerns in what he had come across online and why conspiracies like this one can easily suck people in. conspiracy theories, what makes them so appealing and popular is that they are very

often based on small kernels of truth. simon reflected on the conspiracies he had entertained, although he admitted he still wouldn't necessarily want to have an approved vaccine against coronavirus in the future. i think that it might make me think twice. but, to me, i will always be open to the idea that there is more than just what you're being told. how do you think the conversation you just had with simon went it went well, better than i thought it would. he presented himself as somebody who is inherently sceptical. now, at first sight, that might seem as a different kettle of fish compared to somebody who a firm believer in a conspiracy theory but, nevertheless, i think the two belong to the same universe, in the sense that the kind of questions that he has asked, these are all questions that have been asked by conspiracy theorists

and they are the questions to which any conspiracy theorists have the answers. conspiracy theories are not simply some kooky aspect of the internet. in the coming months, they risk undermining important public health messages. so, if you or someone you know is entertaining conspiracies, it is worth starting a conversation. that's it for today's outside source. thanks for watching. bye— bye. good evening... hello there i'm tt and this is your latest sports news, ‘incredibly happy‘ is how pep guardiola today described his feelings, after manchester city's european ban was overturned. the manager also says his club deserves an apology — after being cleared of breaching financial fair play rules in football. however, the club were fined

10 million euros and some other premier league managers have criticised the process. rhia chohan has this report. the court of arbitration for the decision to clear manchester city of breaking financial fairplay rules was never going to be met lightly. you will make it is a disgraceful decision. because if manchester city is not guilty of it than i think to be punished with some millions is a disgrace is a decision. if you're not guilty, you are not punished. if they are guilty, they should be banned. in any case, the decision is a disaster. it does with some concern that they could even clear the way

with some concerns that could clear the way for a breakaway league by the way for a breakaway league by the worlds richest owners. worlds richest owners. i do not think it was a good day for football yesterday stop if no one is to care any more, the richest countries can do what they want to do and make the competition very difficult and that could lead automatically to a kind of world super league with ten clubs. when speaking to the media, he remained adamant that his cloud did nothing wrong and should receive an apology from them. it was a good day for football not a bad day because we played and we showed that we played in the same rules of all the clubs, all of the clubs in the premier league in europe can play the champions league because what we have done was right. most proper. in march it was reported that eight admitted application to cast arguing

that manchester city should not be allowed to play on the band was under appeal. it's something guardiola has clearly not forgotten. don't go from behind whispering, seven, 89 club doing this behind and doing what you have to do. go and do it. go on the pitch, let's go in and try. not behind. chelsea are on their way to opening up a four point gap over fourth placed leicester city in the premier league. (tx gfx) 0livier giroud's first half goal in stoppage time against norwich keeps the blues on course for a champions league place next season. currently in the 75th minute of that one. currently in the 75th minute of that one. in italy's serie a — atalanta could move second if they get the better of second from bottom brescia. that match is into the second half the two teams paid tribute to coronavirus victim before hand. with the outbreak took hold in late february. with the outbreak took hold in late february. joe root is back training with england's cricketers

as they moved their bio—bubble to manchester ahead of thursday's second test against the west indies. he will come straight back into the line—up as they look to turn the three test series around. but it couldn't have gone much better for the tourists with the extra time in camp helping them win according to coach phil simmons. joe wilson has more. it is like going home. remember that's where they spent the best pa rt that's where they spent the best part of a month before the first test match. living together preparing together. and how useful that was for their coach. preparing together. and how useful that was for their coachlj preparing together. and how useful that was for their coach. i do think that's been the biggest influence on the performance. i think the fact that we've been here for that period of time, we've had quite a few balls in the net because we had 11 here. you can't put a price on that. when we reflect on the crucial passages of play in southhampton on sunday rememberjermaine blackwood of play in southhampton on sunday remember jermaine blackwood playing a match winning innings refusing

to be tempted into doing anything rash even though stokes as blackwood put it today, was in his earfrom even though stokes as blackwood put it today, was in his ear from the first ball. nothing bad, part of the game. but it shows how competitive their first test match was. maybe it was a game that england aren't quite prepared for it themselves. here's spinner don bass. the first test, the first game for a lot of us. that's no excuse but i think there was some rust in there. i think certainly got i know after the game obviously stoked spoke and yeah, we all seem very keen to turn it around appear. spoons is england coach chris silva word. england's coach was a note and done, but as an ignition, a sweaty player and in the absence of saliva in these test matches, they had the job of having to shine the ball on his trousers. so much so, that he woke

up with bruises on his legs. finally — wembley stadium should have seen around a million fans flocking to watch euro 2020 games over the past month. those games have been cancelled because of the coronavirus crisis but there's still the job of maintaining the hallowed turf. the head groundsman has been telling us about that challenge. hello, i am carl stanley, the grounds manager wembley stadium. please see the red seats in the green pitch, blue sky, i love it. i really do enjoy it. it is challenging and every day is so different, the playing surface every day changes and i don't really remember how i got into it, i went to a career adviser my old school and did not know what i wanted to do. i was offered some advice on football, all export details like grow vegetables in my back garden and my mum and dads house

and i want to be a grounds person. and when we came up forjunior groundsman, 2006, as an 18—year—old i went to london. in the rest is history. the events were postponed and we are trying to make sure that staff and the team, are we have become a reality during lockdown and what can we do to the pitch? what are the key things we need to do? ever camera on the roof is welcome so we get updates from it. we had ourfirst game last week, last monday, is of the week to play our final cells very different. we can't update every minute. we had our first we can't update every minute. we had ourfirst game we can't update every minute. we had our first game last monday. it was the loop to play our final. it was very different. normally we see people coming in. coming in. into the building and your people of all ages. sitting in the stand symptoms of the first time, sometimes they get the wow factor now is the biggest difference. the doors

opened and everyone came in. who paints the lines? that's me. my little bit of me time. the phone will not go off, i will read e—mails willjust be me with a white line in string making sure you perfect. going very slowly, that's my key. i did take the last kick ever before he dug it up. we took it out let's ron and took the last ever penalty on the order pitch. printed on the goal collected and those it. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. they are about ten minutes to go and that goal just at they are about ten minutes to go and that goaljust at half—point. chelsea one mill up in or points

clear. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sports website. hello. if there is one word to describe our weather prospects of the next few days. i think gloomy covers it. a lot of cloud pushing its way across the uk. grey skies in this garden. there was some sunshine across eastern scotland early on in the day and there was some brighter spells across the northeast of england as well. that's because the spots were ahead of this waterfront that is now pushing its way further eastward. you can see the band of cloud, it's fairly wide and extensive, enough cloud to ensure pretty much all area of the uk are covered on wednesday. could be some early brightness across eastern counters of england. cloud thick enough at times to bring patty train into england and wales. should be largely dry come the afternoon but brightness will be at

afternoon but brightness will be at a premium. temperatures will generally a few degrees of below average in many areas. lingering rain on the north sea coast will just add to the rather cool proceedings. thursday, the warm front pulls out into the north sea. but with relatively light winds were still going to have cloud across the ukjust the still going to have cloud across the uk just the chance that the sun through the course of the day on thursday will turn things over was operatively across england, wales and scotland to allow the sun shine through. eastern scotland could be one of a woman's placers on thursday. we could get up to 25 degrees here. it will be cooler and wetter towards the west of scotland for some the cold front will start approaching friday. cooler air coming in behind that front for that wet weather pushing in to scotland and ireland through not provide a full—time england and wales should see some sunny spells. actually, this could be our warmest day of the week might get up to 26 degrees. cooler already working its way into

the northwest of scotland. for the weekend, the question isjust the northwest of scotland. for the weekend, the question is just how quickly this front will make its journey southwards across the uk. i had read, there is still a chance of significant want for some southern and eastern counties of england on saturday. the front will feed more cloud and to the north of england and into wales perhaps some occasional showers. brighter skies following the front of scotland and northern ireland. 0ne following the front of scotland and northern ireland. one or two showers. quite chillyjust 16 or 17 degrees. the thinking is the front will sink its way away from the uk later on on sunday. perhaps even a few spots towards the south east on sunday could still have some significant want the tail end might produce a few showers. the lion's share of the uk, behind the cold front it's definitely a fresher field. should at least be some decent spells of sunshine. albeit with a few showers peppering the north and west of scotland. on into next week, at the front is off towards the continent. looks like we will see a ridge of high

pressure building. ican't will see a ridge of high pressure building. i can't promise you entirely clear skies but they will bea entirely clear skies but they will be a lot of sunshine around to start us be a lot of sunshine around to start us off on monday. through the course of the date we will see some fair weather cloud building up. sunny spells by the afternoon. but a dry story thanks to that ridge of high pressure. temperatures still a couple of degrees below average in many areas. as high as the low 20s south of the uk. how does netsuite play out? is that battle of the hide to the south and the low to the north. later on next week it looks like there could be some significantly wet and windy weather rolling across the northern half of the uk. the next few days are fairly quiet but rather cloudy weather scene for you.
