good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. some of the world's most high profile twitter accounts are hacked in an attempted scam — among those targeted are bill gates, barack obama and kim kardashian. a warning that one in three companies are planning to lose jobs — we'll get the latest unemployment figures in an hour's time but will they tell the full story of how the economy is faring . record temperatures in the arctic and a warning they could have a drastic effect on the weather here in the uk. liverpool's hopes of breaking the premier league points record are over as the champions are beaten 2—1 by arsenal, meaning

they can't now pass man city's total of 100 points. and it is another great start to the day, but a greater chance of sunshine coming through and for all, it should feel a bit warmer. the full forecast is right here on brea kfast. it's thursdayjuly 16th. our top story. twitter has been the subject of a massive hack — targeting some of the biggest names in the united states including prominent figures in business and politics as well as celebrities. the list includes bill gates, kanye west, as well as barack obama and joe biden. as part of the scam, fake tweets were posted from verified accounts, asking people to make donations to a bitcoin cryptocurrency account.. alanna petroff has the details. famous tech billionaires can buy themselves almost anything, but it seems no amount of money will help with cyber security. elon musk, jeff bezos,

and bill gates were all victims of a major hack on twitter. their popular accounts were used to promote a cryptocurrency scam, sending out tweets like this. high—profile political figures were also targeted, including barack obama, joe biden and former presidential hopeful mike bloomberg. married mega celebrities kim kardashian and kanye west also compromised. this wasn't about fraud, i don't think, i think it was more about, you know, doing the hack. in the hacker community, we would actually call those type of hacks a little bit lame. twitter quickly took action. the scam tweets were removed, the company posted this...

this is a serious security issue for twitter, i mean, these are power users, these are users that people come to see and read, people like elon musk or kanye west orjoe biden, barack obama, bill gates, these are figures that use that platform on a daily basis and the fact that twitter couldn't keep that secure is a massive issue for them. experts say they could see more than $100,000 worth of bitcoin was deposited into the scam account. once it is there, victims cannot get it back. the incident began trending, tens of thousands of users used the hashtag hacked. alanna petroff, bbc news. nearly a third of uk businesses expect to cutjobs in the next three months — a record high — that's according to findings published this morning by the british chambers of commerce. 0fficial unemployment figures are due to be

released at seven oclock this morning — but analysts say these won't reflect the true extent of the current crisis. our business reporter, ramzan karmali has the details. the lockdown has hit the economy hard. businesses have just started to reopen, but restrictions are making trade for some particularly difficult. the labour costs have to go down at a time where it is actually more expensive to operate, so what that would mean is that essentially we would be cutting jobs and it could be as drastic as losing half the team. he is not alone. according to the british chamber of commerce, just under 30% of all firms are looking to shrink their workforces over the next three months. the resolution foundation has called into question the current measures. in its report, the truth will 0ut, it says official data is failing to show the true extent of the currentjobs crisis and the numbers seeking advice about redundancy is also on the rise.

citizens advice say it now takes a call on the subject every two minutes. what we are seeing is a lot of people, for example, who have been in one job for very long perhaps 30 or 40 years, most of their working life, who are very concerned about the idea of having to retrain for a different role. it is possibly very daunting and redundancy itself is a very complicated process. and despite the chancellor's recent measures to safeguard jobs, many businesses have already slashed their workforces as a result of the coronavirus pandemic and the lockdown measures imposed by the government. ramzan karmali, bbc news. here's our political correspondent chris mason with more on this for us. we talk about unemployment and talk about the big numbers, whether it is going to hit 3 million, whether the further scheme is going to end, if it is going to come to an abrupt stop and impact on employers but the

fact is that many of us are going to be looking around and many of our friends and family are going to be out of work and it is going to be much more immediate. good morning, it really is because for all of these statistics that they will be a blizzard of statistics around the economy today and also ran the forthcoming months, the reality is that this is peoples lives, families lives, trying to make ends meet, pay the rent and mortgage and the news is going to be, i suspect, very grim. we hope that we are past the worst of the health emergency in this crisis and all of those liberties that were taken away from us asa liberties that were taken away from us as a result of lockdown are starting to be eased, but we are getting more and more evidence, week by week now, off the pain, the economic anguish that many people are already suffering and plenty more will continue to suffer, so there are more statistics coming out injust under one there are more statistics coming out in just under one hour and there are more statistics coming out injust under one hour and we there are more statistics coming out in just under one hour and we will bring you them as soon as we have them, but when you look at the data we already have, as well as our own

experience on our own street and town, you do get a sense of how bad things are. 9.4 million people currently on the furlough scheme and the government are paying the wages of private sector employees and what is going to happen to those jobs as the further scheme is unwound in the coming months and in addition to that, the survey pointing to the number of anticipated job losses. as we emerge out of what has been a health emergency, we head towards what could easily be an economic one. chris, thank you very much. those numbers will be out at seven o'clock and sean is a livable for us and he will bring us up—to—date with the numbers when they come through. scientists trialling a covid—19 vaccine at oxford university are expected to give an update on its effectiveness early next week. it comes as a group of 15 nobel prize winners, including one working at oxford, have written an open letter calling for healthy volunteers to be deliberately exposed to the virus in order to speed up the development. the mpjulian lewis has been kicked out of the conservative party

after he was voted in as chair of the intelligence and security committee instead of the government's preferred candidate chris grayling. a senior government source accused mr lewis of colluding with opposition mps to secure the position. some police forces are limiting the number of blood samples they take from motorists and send for drug analysis because of costs and a lack of testing capacity. a report from the police watchdog the inspectorate of constabulary says too many forces are failing to make policing the roads a priority. the national police chiefs' council says forces are working hard to target dangerous drivers, but acknowledges there is more to do. borisjohnson has suggested that parliament could move to york while the palace of westminster in london is renovated. the prime minister confirmed in a letter that the government is considering establishing a northern hub and it would make sense to consider it as a potential location. if the move happens, it won't be until 2025 at the earliest.

a sculpture of a black lives matter protester erected in bristol yesterday has been taken down. the figure replaced a statue of a slave trader that was pulled down last month, but it was installed without the knowledge or permission of the local council. the city's mayor, marvin rees, had said it was up to the people of bristol to decide what replaces it. now, we could probably all use a day at the beach at the moment, but visitors to the coast in rio de janeiro had some surprise company this week. a rare elephant sealjoined in for a swim among the surfers. according to a local marine biologist, the seal likely came up from patagonia or even antarctica. a male elephant seal can measure up to six metres in length. just curious, enjoying the water, basking in the sun. i am glad it was safe. a third town in lancashire is being closely watched as cases of covid—i9 continue to rise in the district. their are fears that pendle,

along with blackburn and darwen could soon face local lockdowns, similar to that in leicester, if the rate of infection is not controlled. graham satchell has more. in leicester, they are going door—to—door, volunteers handing out test kits, hunting down the virus. would you be interested in taking a test? literally, it is just a swab test. 0k. so, you just put it into the back of your throat. i can do it if you want. yeah, 0k. i think a lot of people think, you know, i am fine, i am absolutely fine, but i suppose we don't know how many people are still carrying this. who we are not aware of. so, encouraging people, even if they don't have symptoms, to take the test. the streets of leicester are still deserted, it remains the only city in the uk in total lockdown. the number of confirmed cases in leicester is still the highest in the country, but other hotspots like pendle, blackburn, bradford are not far behind. cases in peterborough are also on the rise. my concern is that if we get too

many cases amongst our working age population, then inevitably some people who are vulnerable will catch it and we don't want to be in the situation where we are seeing rapid spread. we know how to prevent it, we know the behaviours that will prevent it. we need the whole community to understand that those behaviours need to be followed. nobody in peterborough wants to move to another lockdown. this is blackburn. the local authority here has introduced its own measures, just short of lockdown, to control the numbers. face coverings, for example, must be worn in all enclosed public spaces. shaking hands is not allowed. local medical experts have put messages out on social media, aimed at the south asian community, where numbers are particularly high. in pendle, there are signs everywhere and again, the centre of concern is the south asian community. it seems to be particularly affecting young south asian

individuals between 20 and 40 years. as the lockdown lifts, we are seeing there are still high levels of infection going on in the community. it is a reminder that we are still in the middle of a pandemic and the virus can very quickly come back. back in leicester, a protest in the village of glenfield. it is on the edge of the city and the number of cases here has been relatively small. but kim's pub like everything else in the village remains shut. it feels very unfair. i have got a cellar full of beer, which we were hoping that we were opening on the 4th ofjuly and i can't use it. leicester should find out today if the lockdown here will continue, but it is clear as time goes on, local restrictions will become another part of our new normal. graham satchell, bbc news. let's take a look at today's papers. the times leads on hopes

for a coronavirus vaccine this year, as it reports on successful trials at oxford. but it does caution that there is not yet evidence of long—lasting immunity and more testing needs to be carried out. the daily express also leads on that story. it mentions good news from a us vaccine trial too. the main picture is the musician rod stewart wearing we are expecting an announcement from the oxford trial next week. the main picture is the musician rod stewart wearing a leopard print mask. the daily mail says the police watchdog has "confirmed what motorists have always known" — that speed cameras are used to "fleece" drivers. a report has called for greater transparency over the use of cameras. and the yorkshire post reports on the possibility of the house of commons moving to york while the palace of westminster is refurbished. got anything inside?

gotanything inside? i got anything inside? i was inspired by that seal earlier and i love a picture of a sea lion and i thought this was nice. go driving, and you are going to see gorgeous sea creatures and this was an octopus that went on ryan's goggles and he still manage, even though he had his view obscured by the octopus, he managed to take a selfie.|j view obscured by the octopus, he managed to take a selfie. i think that would alarm quite a lot of people! it would be interesting to see it on the inside. it is a hint of the film cat—macro alien. not very comfortable. worth saying a little later on we will be talking to england rugby coach eddiejones this morning and there is a story here, a lot of sports at the moment, obviously trying to work out how they are going to play and rugby has particular problem with regards to coronavirus and they are trying to work through those. it has already

started in new zealand but not competitively in the uk and this is one of the ongoing stories about how you prevent too many injuries for players, specifically brain injuries in later life and this is just a suggestion, that may be having less players on the pitch would give them more room to dodge so there is less likely of the big impact occasions andi likely of the big impact occasions and i picked up the story as well. this is that richard osman who is the host of pointless liberties, saying that celebrities regularly cheat, a bit of mumbling, and one of you does not know the answer and won aabit you does not know the answer and won aa bit ofan you does not know the answer and won a a bit of an answer. remember when we were on the programme? we were so bad and we did do the mumbling thing because you said it was fine. i didn't want to. what? you did! you are whispering

andi what? you did! you are whispering and i gave you an answer and then you gave me a duff answer and we went out and i have neverforgiven you. you gave me an answer? this is something i've seen... i have no recollection... i had no part in that! of the man who cheated, he told me that's. .. that! of the man who cheated, he told me that's... it that! of the man who cheated, he told me that's. .. it was a wrong answer. i do. this story. told me that's. .. it was a wrong answer. ido. this story. ithought of you with this because there is an auction going on of all these hollywood treasures in a film. there is one thing that is going for sale which i thought you might like. a darth vader costume, not for you. i'm interested in peat marwick mitchell ‘s helmet, warm by tom cruise in top gun. what i thought about for you was will ferrell's and command suit. really? how much is it going for? i don't know, i can find out. i imagine it would be quite expensive. what is an odd

coincidence is that you have mentioned well feral. do you know what today is? thursday. yes, and it is well feral‘s birthday. will ferrell is 53 today. there go. not dissimilar. i reckon that the suit would fit you. there we are. 6:17am. we are reflecting jobs figures today. we know the figures out today will not make for pleasant reading for anyone and lots of people are worried about where the jobs market is going. we get official data this morning and sean is in liverpool for us this morning. we are expecting this announcement ata 7am we are expecting this announcement at a 7am so just under one hour away. all the signs are... of the chancellor's phrase is that there are difficult times ahead and this will be a significant marker. good morning. this is the office for

national statistics which look at the labour market across the uk and at 7am we will get those unemployment figures, the unemployment figures, the unemployment rates we talk about every few months for years and yea rs. every few months for years and years. that is something that will be closely watched. that hasn't shut up be closely watched. that hasn't shut up the way be closely watched. that hasn't shut le be closely watched. that hasn't shut up the way people have expected it to yet. there are other figures, like the number of people claiming benefits. here in liverpool, it is one of the cities that has seen the biggest increases in benefit claimants. we have a vacancy numbers, how many jobs claimants. we have a vacancy numbers, how manyjobs are out there over the water in birkenhead, across the mersey. that area is one of the most competitive in the country right now for the amount of people applying forjobs. all of this comes down to people's livelihoods. these figures will try to give the government a bit of an idea of what we need to do next, where we need to focus next. we caught up with a couple of people to see how they were getting on. danielle originally set out in her career, she was let go having been ona career, she was let go having been on a furlough. and phil lost his

job, he was a pilot at flybe which collapsed earlier this year. i love the flying aspect of it. like a doctor loves being a doctor, like an artist loves being an artist. it's a certain passion you have for it. it's a vocation. and that's what i had for being a pilot. redundancy was the last thing on my mind. ijust thought i'd be placed on furlough and when things started to settle i would eventually get back into work. we all got an e-mail, please come to the hanger. we were met by the ceo and representatives from the administrator. they told us of the situation. if you got a letter, and you were made one of those people in consultation, then if you got a phone call then your job was safe and unfortunately that

wasn't me. i was devastated. i was absolutely devastated. i have never experienced anything like that in my life. they were my family and... some of them, i haven't even been able to say goodbye to because we are in different parts of the country. i felt heartbroken, personally, because i had just started to get my career going and felt like everything was falling to pieces. i never thought felt like everything was falling to pieces. i neverthought i'd be in a position where i'd be out of work, unemployed. i do feel a sense of shame ina unemployed. i do feel a sense of shame in a way because, for me, i don't like to be out of work. i love working, i love being in ajob. don't like to be out of work. i love working, i love being in a joblj wish i knew what i could do now. my plan, basically, is to look at anything that i can do. i try to call the recruitment agency and i

cannot get through to them.|j call the recruitment agency and i cannot get through to them. i can have quite a few days where ijust feel like, what's the point? i'm never going to find a job. i can get very upset. but i've just got to think, at the end of the day, i have my health, i'm young. all my family have survived through the pandemic andl have survived through the pandemic and ijust think, one day, i will get a job and i've just got to keep optimistic about it. very difficult time and an uncertain time for millions of people across the country. over the course of the morning we will be looking at a few tips for people who may want advice on theirjob, their career. we have a podcast on bbc sounds, where if you want more advice that topic. your work, your money. going to the app and you can download that when me and a few experts from the personal finance world talk about

how you can advance your career, apply forjobs. how you can advance your career, apply for jobs. all the things how you can advance your career, apply forjobs. all the things that people need a lot at the moment. 7am we get those latest unemployment figures this morning andi and i will have an expert with me to a nswer and i will have an expert with me to answer a and i will have an expert with me to a nswer a few and i will have an expert with me to answer a few of those questions are. really interesting. one of the things about applying forjobs now is how people do it. lots of companies are asking for almost most video cvs, which brings up a whole load of issues, but also people have to be almost good tv presenters to sell themselves on video these days. yeah. i mean, there is that. there is also, how do you get yourself to stand out? something we talk a lot about on the podcast is when so many people talk about birkenhead having the most competitive areas for the number of applicants per vacancy, how do you stand out in the middle of that pile? lots of people are getting work to different ways, maybe social media. now it is much more competitive. we will go over a few of those things with a

recruitment expert after a tame. how do you sharpen up, even if it is the lighting on your laptop at home to make this video interview is better? quite a few tips and we will try to get through a few of them. lighting is key. thanks very much, see you later. 6:23am. one of the consequences of lockdown has been that many children are spending a lot more time online. that's lead to fears that they are becoming vulnerable — according to the internet watch foundation reports of child abuse images increased by almost 50% compared with last year. our education correspondent branwenjeffreys has this report. during lockdown, screentime went up, leaving parents trying to find a balance. kelly spends time with her kids online, a parenting app tracks their activity and prompts chats about how to stay safe. if there's anybody at all that tries to access them by talking to them that they don't know, that they let me or their dad — or if they're with grandparents at the time — to let them know straightaway so that we can help them deal with it.

but they do know how to report people. they do know how to block people on these games. they do know how to change their privacy settings. it's all about getting a balance. technology has connected children to their grandparents. it's allowed them to go on learning while schools have been shut. and, of course, keep in touch with their friends. but with many parents distracted working from home, it's also given them more unsupervised time online. reports of child abuse images have also gone up in lockdown. the main uk hotline has seen a 50% increase. charities say it's an early warning. lockdown has seen some of the greatest risks in terms of online child abuse that we have ever seen. i'd say our message at the nspcc to governments is very clear that the lockdown has shown that we must act with urgency to introduce an online harms bill and to ensure that children get the protection they need

and frankly that they deserve. but an expert who's worked for the police and tech industry told me it's too much to expect a new law to solve all the problems. we have to think this through very, very considerdly, if you like, that by introducing well—meaning regulation, we're not also creating something of a chilling effect, particularly for young people. this college in cornwall has drawn on student experience, using it to help teachers and parents understand. in times maybe there are things which people would say to me and then ijust keep it to myself and then it will bother me for quite some time. and then i don't open up to somebody and then just keep it for myself. so the advice i'd give to my younger self, just open up and talk about it. i feel that a lot of parents make

the mistake of kind of putting the idea into the children's minds that the online world is a dangerous, scary place. it willjust make the children not want to talk to their parents about what they do online. you do have control. our digital lives are here to stay, keeping us connected and entertained. all the more reason to give them the skills to stay safe. a reminder that if you have a child or teenager who spends a lot of time online and have concerns, you and they can download the bbc own it app — or go online at bbc.com/ownit, to find more information on how to make their time online as safe as possible. you are watching bbc breakfast, still to come... no to no—shows — restaurants are hitting back at customers who fail to turn up after making reservations. we'll look at the impact on businesses. coming up the latest news and weather.

6:26am. now let's get the weather with matt. it is miserable this morning. really miserable. that is just the atmosphere in the studio! no, that's outside. laughter how could you say that? outrageous! good morning to all of you. it has been a bit of a disappointing start of mid july. another grey start today. this weather watcher shop shelves there are hints of a bit of improvement, the cloud will thin out. greater chance of seeing some sunshine around in places. and even if you don't, it is going to be a warmer day overall. most places today start with temperatures in double figures, if not the mid teens because we are sandwiched between two rain bearing weather fronts. that brought patchy rain and drizzle yesterday. one prince, when the air, colder air bit behind the front to come in as we go through this weekend. settling this morning

plenty of cloud around, grey conditions. some breaks appearing here and there, particular this morning. south—west england and wales and then towards the east of high ground, eastern scotland. the big temperature distance still make a difference. 23, 24 in aberdeenshire, 15 in fort william. this is where we will see rain spreading. sunny spells could break through in northern ireland and to the east of high ground across parts of eastern england, always best favoured. if you breaks, temperatures more widely into the 20s and it will feel quite one. 24 the high in parts of hampshire. through this evening and overnight another fairly through this evening and overnight anotherfairly mild through this evening and overnight another fairly mild one. through this evening and overnight anotherfairly mild one. wet at night across the highlands of scotland. in venture into the north—west of northern ireland. rain across other parts of scotland but note the temperatures into tomorrow morning. some places, particularly across south—east, 16 or 17 degrees. it will be a pretty mild and humid start tomorrow across england and

wales, especially. with humidity comes rain across scotland and northern ireland. occasional rain through the morning, spreading into the far north of england, isle of man as we go into the afternoon, may be reaching anglesey. brighter skies across scotland later on but into the colder, fresher air. more sunshine to come. one day to come, it could be 26 degrees in the best of the sunshine. what led to the self, the weather front across northern england and north wales as we start saturday, bringing outbreaks of rain. slowly pushing its way southwards across the midlands as we go through saturday, still with some sunshine in the south—east sunshine and the one will continue. northern england northwards, fresher still with temperatures generally in the mid to high teens. that cooler, fresher air will push southwards across other parts as we going to sunday but

sunday, a lot more sunshine around, too. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning... the unexpected beauty of lockdown. we'll meet the family of amateur photographers who have been capturing britain's flourishing wildlife. england rugby coach eddiejones can now add award—winning writer to his list of achievements. he'll be speaking to us about that just after 8.30 this morning. david tennant tells about making tv in lockdown and his latest comedy series. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. twitter has suffered its biggest ever security breach in which the accounts of a number of high profile figures in the us were hacked. amongst those targeted were barack obama and bill gates. as part of the scam, fake tweets were posted

from verified accounts, asking people to make donations to a bitcoin cryptocurrency account. technology experts say the scale and profile of the security breach could pose real problems for twitter. this is a serious security issue for twitter. i mean, these are power users. these are users that people come to see and read. people like elon musk or kanye west orjoe biden, barack obama, bill gates, these are figures which use that platform on a daily basis and the fact that twitter could not keep that secure is a massive issue for them. a record amount of companies in the uk plan to cutjobs over the next three months, according to a landmark survey by the british chambers of commerce. official unemployment figures will be released later, but there are already concerns from analysts that they won't be a true reflection of the crisis. citizens advice say it now takes a call every two minutes from someone seeking advice on redundancies. the mp, julian lewis, has been

kicked out of the conservative party after he was voted in as chair of the intelligence and security committee instead of the government's preferred candidate chris grayling. a senior government source accused mr lewis of colluding with opposition mps to secure the position. some police forces are limiting the number of blood samples they take from motorists and send for drug analysis, because of costs and a lack of testing capacity. a report from the police watchdog, the inspectorate of constabulary, says too many forces are failing to make policing the roads a priority. the national police chiefs' council says forces are working hard to target dangerous drivers, but acknowledges there is more to do. a sculpture of a black lives matter protester erected in bristol yesterday has been taken down. the figure replaced a statue of slave trader edward colston that was pulled down last month, but it was installed without the knowledge or permission of the local council. the city's mayor, marvin rees, had said it was up to the people of bristol to decide what goes

on the plinth. now it's time to speak to one of our breakfast gps. dr siema iqbal joins us from manchester this morning. good morning to you. how are you? good morning to you. how are you? good morning, very well, thank you. i'm noticing the fridge magnets and i'm noticing the fridge magnets and i'm liking that very much. that's a busy thread you have got there. i'm liking that very much. that's a busy thread you have got therem kinda reflects the household to be honest. i thought i would move away from the fish tank and to the fridge. good, we are having a proper look around which is nice. it's nice to share your home with the nation this morning. so let's get down to the serious business, a lot of changes going on right now in relation to peoples lives in relation to peoples lives in relation to peoples lives in relation to coronavirus and the precautions they are now being required to make the latest of course being the mandatory face coverings in shops. there is going to be concerns for people. i wonder

to be concerns for people. i wonder to what extent are people consulting with you, may be related to the health conditions, about how that's going to work in practice?|j health conditions, about how that's going to work in practice? i think overall the response has been positive, people understand the need for the facemasks, and the fact that, you know, how important it is asa that, you know, how important it is as a society that we all, from july the 24th, start to wear the masks and we've had them in place for a while now. gp practices and hospitals, you are advised if you are to visit the practice you will need to wear a face covering, which includes facemasks, and if you were to attend without one we would provide one. now i know some people had concerns and we do get calls from patients asking what can they do if they are unable to wear one. we explore the reasons behind it. some people do struggle wearing face masks and find it suffocating, particularly if they have breathing

problems already. they find that the masks exacerbate those problems. we have to advise patients that children under 11 are exempt from wearing masks and some patients which have anxiety also feel that the mask can be claustrophobic, but generally, on the whole, when you have a conversation with a patient and explain why the masks are important, and the different types of masks, they are quite amenable to the idea, understanding what is behind it, so we have had an overall positive response. i think the important thing is to make sure masks are worn properly. and to explain and make sure people understand that they are not to be used in isolation, so the social distancing and hand washing still need to be in place. yes, it's important to keep emphasising those messages. your practice in manchester, people will know there are other parts of the north west subject to particular lockdown is at

the moment because of a spike in cases. how much information are you getting locally about the situation where you are all relative possible to places close by? i mean, i have heard recently about blackburn taking some extra measures. i think it was two days ago we put some extra measures in place. we don't receive any extra information to be honest. we don't receive our local r rate or anything like that from e—mails when we get to the practice, andi e—mails when we get to the practice, and i think when the r rate will rise in ourarea, and i think when the r rate will rise in our area, it will come through on e—mails from the people that contact us about what's going on. at the moment, we haven't had any information. at the moment we feel that everything is ok. we rely very much on information like eve ryo ne very much on information like everyone else does the extra

measures being ta ken everyone else does the extra measures being taken i think are important to make sure everyone is safe. you can kind of get an estimate of how many patients are being affected by covid, by having the test, and how many tests are coming back positive, so you do get a gauge of what's happening in your local population that way too. one of the other changes is people are possibly thinking about going away on holiday, may be overseas, maybe not, and people maybe have anxieties or concerns about that. have you had much connection with people over that issue? we normally offer immunisations for travel at the practice and we have had patients contacting us because they're going away on holiday. me personally, i was asked by a producer if i was going on holiday and normally i would be on holiday at this time, but personally, i've made a decision not to go away at the moment, not to go abroad, and i don't have any plans to do so in the near future.

but i think if you are going away, to make sure that you don't forget the extra protection you need in the forms of immunisations, so although we may not have the vaccine for covid yet to make sure you are still protected against other illnesses you could potentially get whilst you are away on holiday, so not to forget that extra protection. we have started to see that many patients are starting to travel again and obviously have the confidence to do so. lovely to talk to this morning. thank you. the time now is 6:38am. it's time to talk to mark and find out what's happening in the sport. there is some unhappy football managers out there today. yes, good morning. liverpool bossjurgen klopp says he was "disappointed and angry" as the premier league champions lost at arsenal. it means they can't break the record, for most

points in a season. things had started well for his side however, as sadio marney, put liverpool ahead. but a mistake from captain virgil van dyke let in alexander lacazette to equalise. and then, more poor defending, helped reiss nelson score the winnerfor arsenal, a minute before half time, meaning liverpool can't now pass manchester city's record of 100 points this season. very, very disappointed. i don't know if it's because records... it's just 93 points, you can see 93 points so far, incredible, but the boys did incredible. we don't think about that. we wanted to win this game today. i saw that. but you cannot win a football game in the premier league when you take a five minute break or three minute break. the bournemouth manager eddie howe, admits he's "devastated" by their 2—1 defeat at manchester city. david silva with the pick of city's goals. bournemouth put up a real fight.

but it leaves them, three points from safety, with two games to go. "incredible". that's how tottenham boss, jose mourinho described harry kane, as he passed the 200 goal mark, at club level, with two more at newcastle. spurs won 3—1 taking them up to seventh. and spurs are nowjust a point behind wolves after they were held, to a 1—1 draw at burnley. that's despite, rauljiminez putting them ahead. however, burnley were given an injury time penalty which chris wood scored. cricket and joe root says he's expecting england to bounce back from their series opening defeat against the west indies, when the second test gets under way at emirates old trafford this morning. he returns to captain the team after missing the opening match to be at the birth of his second child. we know they are a difficult team to beat. we also know what we are getting on this one. one thing we've

a lwa ys getting on this one. one thing we've always been very good at is winning difficult games. we've had a tough week and bounced back very quickly throughout the series. i expect nothing different this time round. and root will have to turn things around quickly if he's to get the better of an in—form west indies side. their captain jason holder says their opening win has brought the islands of the carribean together. he's even had calls from three different prime ministers to congratulate them. their support means a lot to us. definitely we came over here under these circumstances and to have the support from not only of prime ministers and heads of government back in the caribbean, but for the people in the caribbean it means a lot to us. there have been a lot of english, well, west indian fans who live here in england who would have been disappointed not being able to come and see the cricket for a time but more or less they've been sending love and messages as well too, so again it was a great start for us. more or less we got to buckle

down and start again. we will cross live to the bio bubble at the emirates old trafford, at 7.30 and play should start at 11 online with grey skies forecast, but little chance of rain. we were talking about, i can't remember if you are here about whether golfers cheat, and then charlie said that. we said can you cheatin charlie said that. we said can you cheat in game shows? during slovenly pointless, the celebrity can get a little bit rule breaking. so have you ever cheated? yes, i have to confess. if anyone from ashford primary school is now watching, i apologise, i was nine years old, and it was a scrabble competition at school and i managed to distract some of the other contestants and switched around some of my pieces. really? i've never really been able to live with that. no, lived on the right thing, you've said it now, it's ok, it's over. i still didn't

win. it does not pay, does it? it's ok, it's over. i still didn't win. it does not pay, does it7m you are going to cheat, at least women. i'm just you are going to cheat, at least women. i'mjust not you are going to cheat, at least women. i'm just not very good at it, am i? micah, you are back later on. thank you very much. don't cheat. as we've been hearing, the twitter accounts of some of america's best—known business figures, politicians and celebrities have been hacked by scammers. fake tweets appeared on the pages of people like kanye west, barack obama and bill gates, asking people to send money to an online currency page. we can speak now to holly grace jones, a cybersecurity expert, to find out more. thank you very much forjoining us this morning. i suppose obviously the benefit of targeting high—profile people as have lots of followers on their accounts, but also i imagine as soon as soon as it happened, it was noticed. so what was the nature of what these hackers did and what were they hoping to

achieve? the easiest way to put it is the nature, according to twitter, social engineering account, so some of their employees were coerced in some way into giving access to these attackers so they could post these tweets. the intention like this as you may have seen is to monetise these attacks, so to do it as quickly and easily as possible and make money off the account if they could. have we had a statement from twitter actually saying it could be an employee security breach or are you making that assumption?m an employee security breach or are you making that assumption? it is actual twitter support, they've treated this morning to say the one thing they were investigating, at that time, they believe it was social engineering, the term they have used. ok, with a social engineering, i suppose some have described as a smash and grab because once it was spotted it would have been shut down as quickly as possible, so what they were asking forfrom possible, so what they were asking for from these accounts would have

had some impact, some people would have responded. we have seen evidence people have sent money to the crypto currency exchange, the accou nts the crypto currency exchange, the accounts can be tracked to show transactions and it does appear that an amount of money has been transferred to the attackers, yes. basically the messages you send $1000 and | basically the messages you send $1000 and i will send you $2000 and often on this programme we look at the advice when it comes to scams and it goes back to that and if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. so what does this mean in terms of twitter moving forward, because when you are big as a brand under platform, like this, it's not acceptable? whilst it is true that every company should take all action they can to prevent an attack of this nature, cybersecurity is difficult. that is why we are seeing so many breaches. it is not a simple thing to sure that a platform at the scale of twitter is secure. they are working hard, i'm sure, but breaches

continue to happen because of the difficulty of security. when it comes to the accounts that were attacked, these were all people who are very high profile people with lots of followers. what about everyday people on twitter who just use it as a form of interaction or information? either a safe, use it as a form of interaction or information? eithera safe, i use it as a form of interaction or information? either a safe, i their accou nts information? either a safe, i their accounts save? everybody's risk is different from these kinds of attacks and from social media use in general. whenever anybody looks to use a public platform they should look at their own risk profile for what could happen if their account was accessed, looking at things like the ability of their accounts but also direct and private messages and people should use those platforms knowing that the systems are not impenetrable. no system is impossible to hack. what is the advice to day for anyone with a twitter account, should they change their password? follow twitter's guidance directly. the twitter support account is pushing out what they know because they are checking

up they know because they are checking up information. at this point, changing passwords does not seem to be in line with what twitter have currently recommended, but one of the things people should look at is things like password reuse. if people use it between other websites that will increase use so the advice is to use unique passwords. really interesting talking to you. thank you for talking to us. thank you. the time is 6:47am. we want to introduce someone to you you may see more of. what about harry mountain. at 80 years old many people are enjoying their retirement, but not harry — he's decided to take on a new career. and he can't keep up with the work. andy gill has been to meet him. he's a model and he's looking good. at a converted mill in abbey village

near chorley, harry mountain strikes poses for photography students. he's a formerjoiner who later took up photography himself. then his teacher suggested he go in front of, as well as behind, the camera. we are one short, would you mind stepping in? i said, i have never done this before. he said put that cap on and a big coat. big, long coat. so i got into it, tommy gun. four, five, six, seven. the man who got harry to take up modelling says he took a little persuading. at the beginning, yeah. the day he came, he was saying, don't be silly, i don't want to do that, i look like a silly old fool sort of thing. but we put him in, you know, he sort of took to it, really, like a duck to water. he's really, really enjoying it. now harry has a portfolio and gets bookings from camera clubs as far afield as manchester, liverpool and leeds. i love it now. can't get enough of it! what do you get out of it?

i don't know. well, i'm 80. what else to do, sit in the flat? harry even had a work lined up as an extra in a film being shot in liverpool in march. lockdown put paid to that, but he's hoping his big break into movies will still happen. very impressive. quite a lot he has going on. great luck. 6:49am. comparisons of being banished and moving to outer mongolia has been just some of the reaction at news that parliament could move to york. last night, the prime minister confirmed the historical city is being considered as a temporary home for the commons and the lords while the houses of parliament are renovated. joining us now is the yorkshire post's westminster correspondent geraldine scott. you are speaking to us from london, ig? you are speaking to us from london, i6? i you are speaking to us from london, 16? i am, yes. i'm in london but i

report for the yorkshire post. what are the indications, what has been said so far? yeah, so this letter is really the first kind of confirmation we've had that the government is looking at york as a serious option. rumour started back injanuary, serious option. rumour started back in january, february, serious option. rumour started back injanuary, february, the start of the year and were brushed off a bit as something that was a bit of a joke, wouldn't really happen. as time has gone on, it seems they are more serious and, yeah, as we've seen, borisjohnson more serious and, yeah, as we've seen, boris johnson is more serious and, yeah, as we've seen, borisjohnson is now directly asked fort york to be in the running. what about the city of york? give us some logistics. how could it work in practice? york is a brilliant, you have direct transport links into london will stop it wouldn't be the first time parliament would be in york. you had council of the north in the 15th and 16th century. it is a great place with great transport links, but

there are a lot of locations that could be considered. the archbishop of york has offered his back garden! but it would be a change. clearly taking parliament out of london would be a big shift. as you well know, there is a lot of people involved. it is notjust the mps or the lords themselves. there are all the lords themselves. there are all the other people who are linked to running that place. yeah, and, you know, all the staff, the thousands of staff, it wouldn't be a small endeavour but the government is already speaking about moving a lot of its own civil servants for example outside of london and creating this government hub in york. i think the government does wa nt to york. i think the government does want to get out of london and get politicians and civil servants out of london if they can because it's all part of this levelling up that we hear so much about that boris johnson ran on during the election and making things less london centric. how does this work? is it

like the olympic games or something, where the cities that may be want, i think they could be in the running, are they pitching, competing against each other? if you ask me, why not have a touring parliament going around the country? i think your has been picked specifically. what criteria went into that, we don't know at this stage, but i think york is clearly somewhere they are looking at. in a way, just thinking about your situation, because it would be quite nice, wouldn't it? if it went there, your local paper, you could do yourjob nearby. yeah. i mean... yeah, any excuse to go to york, frankly. i think there is something to be said, being someone who works for a paper based outside of london but in london about people who make decisions are getting out of the capital and understanding what is happening outside of that bubble. ok, thank you very much

chatting to us. geraldine scott, the westminster correspondent at the yorkshire post, talking about the idea, maybe, of mps and lords going somewhere else. this is all the work that has to be done, is ongoing on houses of parliament. 6:53am. a record—breaking heatwave in siberia would have been almost impossible without man—made global warming according to climate scientists. an international team, led by the uk met office, say the warming of the arctic has very real consequences when it comes to the weather we experience in the uk. our chief environment correspondent justin rowlatt reports. six months of record—breaking temperatures have fuelled massive forest fires in the siberian arctic this year. great plumes of smoke were visible on satellite images last month. the red areas on this map show just how exceptional temperatures have been — more than five degrees above average across much of siberia.

that included the highest temperature ever recorded north of the arctic circle — a sweltering 38 degrees centigrade — and now a met office—led international study has concluded this period of exceptional weather would have been impossible, had the world not been warmed by man—made greenhouse gas emissions. remember the beast from the east — that period of exceptionally cold and snowy weather back in 2018? it shows us that what happens in the arctic doesn't stay in the arctic. there are six main weather systems around the uk, and four of those six come from the polar regions or from the arctic directly. so whilst a lot of this is uncertain, if something happens in the arctic, it's going to be reasonable to assume something's going to happen in the uk, too. today's report is yet more evidence that the growing concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is changing our climate. what we're seeing really

is unprecedented. it's the strongest result we've ever seen, actually. we've never seen a change in the probability of an event of more than 600 times. we've never seen a result like that. this february's storms and floods are also reckoned to have been driven by conditions in the arctic. and we know the polar region is warming twice as fast as the rest of the world. the long—term impact that will have here in the uk is less certain. looking at the geological record, we don't think we've had co2 levels this high for about five million years, so we really don't know what to expect into the future. we're. .. we are in uncharted territory. the reduction of arctic sea ice cover and melting of the permafrost has accelerated during this year's heatwave. that will drive even more warming and, in turn, means we can expect more extreme weather around the world. justin rowlatt, bbc news.

watching that with interest this morning, matt. isuppose... in its very simplest form, what it shows and the evidence is there that what happens there affects us here. exactly. where the system is right around the world, fully interconnect with what is going on at the ground. for me it's one of the boldest statement i've ever heard regarding climate change but to explain, our weather is driven by temperature changes. if you start to warm the arctic, the temperature difference from there and the equator is less and that has an impact on the jet strea m and that has an impact on the jet stream which flows around the northern hemisphere away up in the sky. you start to interrupt that then all the weather pattern start to change on the surface. that can affect what we have and what we are starting to see is a longer spells of drier weather and we see those longer spells of wet weather, as well. slightly more in the way of

extremes. it is certainly very, very concerning. and also seen temperatures like that around the arctic will have a big impact on the snow covering in the region, if we start to lose the snow, we get less sun, it warms up more and permafrost is important because it traps and a lot of methane. this is a frozen layer just underneath the lot of methane. this is a frozen layerjust underneath the surface and once that starts to melt away it will release more greenhouse gases. it could be a case of this goes on and on and on and the conditions get worse. as i said, impact here in the uk to be seen over the longer term. day today we see differences regardless. certainly today, small differences out there as far as the weather is concerned. but if yesterday is too great, chance of a few breaks in the cloud, seeing if you enquire what already and it will feel that bit warmer today. certainly start on a mild note and temperatures will get closer to where we should be in this stage in the year. let's take a look at what

is happening this morning. still a bit of patchy rain and drizzle across fat north—east of scotland and the other pocket in the west, but compared to yesterday, nowhere near as but compared to yesterday, nowhere nearas damn. but compared to yesterday, nowhere near as damn. you can see with the cloud cover, some breaks in wales in the south—west, more breaks east of scotland, north—east england, and northern ireland especially in the afternoon. once that sunshine comes out, temperatures will lift more widely into the 20s. may be 23, 24 across aberdeenshire, 24 around hampshire. not quite as warm at old trafford for the second test in the cricket. lots of cloud, it may be dismal at times. that could hold play but a small chance of some drizzle every now and again. overall better than we saw at southampton last week. this evening and overnight, wet it to the north and west of scotland and across the north west of northern ireland later. most places dry and very mild night. temperatures in the teens for many as we start friday morning. as for friday, we have that wet weather to begin with around south—west scotland, rain at times in northern ireland. wet weather in the isle of man, far north of england, it may be

far north—west of wales later in the day. means a brighter day for the far north of scotland but fresher here, on the northern side of the cold fronts so the colder air pushes behind it. temperatures in the teens. to the south of it, with some sunny spells across many other areas of england and wales, it will be warmer and more humid. temperatures could reach 26 degrees in the south east corner. that temperature difference remains in place for the start of the weekend the weather front is slowly moving its way south and eastward. start saturday with cloudy wet weather across parts of northern england, north and west wales, pushes its way erratically into the midlands, turning my sherry. sunshine still out in the south—east, 24 the high, sunshine returns further north and temperatures will be in the teens. headlines next.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. a warning that one in three companies are planning to lose jobs, as the latest unemployment figures are due to be released in the next few minutes. and we are in the sacred heart primary school in the wirral getting ready with the staff to send off a class of 2020. a school year like a nun which has gone before.

england's returning cricket captainjoe root, is confident they can bounce back from their series opening defeat to the west indies. we'll cross live to emirates old trafford at 730 ahead of the second test. good morning. we are waiting for unemployment figures, the latest ones which are coming out as we speak. sean will have the details of those as soon as they are published. nearly a third of uk businesses expect to cut jobs nearly a third of uk businesses expect to cutjobs in the next three months, a record high, and that is according to findings published this morning by the british chambers of commerce. a labour cost has to go down our business reporter, ramzan karmali has the details. the lockdown has hit the economy hard.

businesses have just started to reopen, but restrictions are making trade for some particularly difficult. the labour costs have to go down at a time where it is actually more expensive to operate, so what that would mean is that essentially we would be cutting jobs and it could be as drastic as losing half the team. he is not alone. according to the british chamber of commerce, just under 30% of all firms are looking to shrink their workforces over the next three months. the resolution foundation has called into question the current measures. in its report, the truth will out, it says official data is failing to show the true extent of the currentjobs crisis and the numbers seeking advice about redundancy is also on the rise. citizens advice say it now takes a call on the subject every two minutes. what we are seeing is a lot of people, for example, who have been in onejob for very long perhaps 30 or 40 years, most of their working life, who are very concerned about the idea of having to retrain for a different role. it is possibly very daunting and redundancy itself is a very complicated process. and despite the chancellor's recent measures to safeguard jobs, many businesses have already slashed their workforces as a result

of the coronavirus pandemic and the lockdown measures imposed by the government. ramzan karmali, bbc news. here's our political correspondent chris mason with more on this for us. we arejust we are just waiting for these latest figures. just on hold for those that we don't know the actual numbers but what we do know, of course, if they have been so many forecasts that there are problems ahead in terms of there are problems ahead in terms of the employment market and a number of markers along the way. and this is likely to be an important day. this is of course about peoples livelihoods, and it's going to have a real impact? good morning. we await these figures from the office for national statistics to be published at any moment but ultimately they are statistics and they will illustrate a lived experience for lots of people already. they will merely confirm what we already know, which is that the recession we are living through

at the moment is unprecedented. all of the superlatives that economists will often shy away from using about things being the deepest or the worst, because so often history will point to a worse recent example, in this instance, that's not the case. things are pretty unremittingly grim as far as the economic picture is concerned i just a as far as the economic picture is concerned ijust a point we hope we are emerging out of the worst of health emergencies and the worst of the restrictions and our liberties associated with the lockdown. we know millions of people, 9.4 million people, have been a government furlough scheme where the taxpayer has been paying the wages of millions of people in the private sector. lots of concern that a lot of those jobs are now phantom that demand for them does not exist and they are merely being propped up by they are merely being propped up by the furlough scheme. so what we are expecting some pretty grim numbers. the government says it's done all it can to prop people up and support as manyjobs as is possible. but the

reality is that long after the conversation has moved on from the worst, the health effects of this pandemic and the discussions about face coverings and all the rest of it, perhaps receded into memory, the economic consequences of what we have lived through over the last couple of months will still be a very real for couple of months will still be a very realfor so couple of months will still be a very real for so many people. chris, for the moment, thank you. we are waiting for those numbers and we will go to sean at now in liverpool for us. sean, these numbers, we know they're not going to be good, but it's just how bad they are going to be? yes, it's which ones you look at, as well, so from the office for national statistics this morning they have the headline figure of the unemployment rate and that is still at 3.9%, said the unemployment rate hasn't gone up since the start of this crisis. because it hasn't fed through into the way the office for national statistics measure unemployment in that respect, but when you look at the amount of

people on payroll, they look at that and say the number of people on payroll is now 650,000 fewer employees on payroll in june than payroll is now 650,000 fewer employees on payroll injune than in march 2020, so that shows you the amount of people who at some point will be coming into those unemployment figures. a huge amount of people going through a very turbulent time at the moment. then you look at the number of hours worked, that has fallen hugely. they say it shows a large number of people reporting no hours and getting no pay. of course, the furlough scheme is very much in action for a lot of people at the minute. a lot of people are still on payroll is, still getting paid, but not doing any work, so there's a few things which appear to contradict each other but it's more about a time—lag about when we will get the official figures on the employment rate. that will come through in the months to come, but it's very clear from these figures that hundreds of thousands of people, if not more, have found themselves with no work in recent weeks. one figure which is pa rt of

in recent weeks. one figure which is part of this is the claimant count, those claiming benefits, and that's notjust people those claiming benefits, and that's not just people out those claiming benefits, and that's notjust people out of those claiming benefits, and that's not just people out of work but those claiming benefits, and that's notjust people out of work but in work as well and the office for national statistics say the count is falle n national statistics say the count is fallen and it's still a large figure, 2.6 million, but they've seen figure, 2.6 million, but they've seen that a decline, slow down, in the numberof seen that a decline, slow down, in the number of people who have been claiming that, so there could be some positives as more of us went back into work through may and june that, when you look at the claimant count figure that hasn't increased at the rate it was. but when it comes to people injobs, these figures this morning are still very difficult. thanks very much for taking us through that and i know you will look through the numbers and bring us more throughout the programme. other main stories this morning. twitter has been the subject of a massive hack targeting some of the biggest names in the united states including prominent figures in business, politics and entertainment. the list includes bill gates, kanye west, as well as barack obama and joe biden. as part of the scam, fake tweets were posted

from verified accounts, asking people to make donations to a bitcoin cryptocurrency account. for more on this let's speak to our technology correspondent rory cellan—jones. good morning. take us through how we first heard about the problems. well, this is extraordinary. i started seeing some strange tweets about 10pm last night. at first, it appeared when someone like elon musk was treating send money to this bitcoin and i will send you twice as much back, an obvious scam, i thought he has been hacked and as more and more individuals started sending that same message, very prominent individuals, even company accou nts prominent individuals, even company accounts like apple and uber, it became clear they hadn't been hacked, the whole system had been hacked. a complete disaster for twitter when you think of what an important platform it is for insta nce important platform it is for instance like donald trump, a lot of attention last night on whether such attention last night on whether such a message would appear on his twitter stream. it didn't.

a message would appear on his twitterstream. it didn't. butjack dorsey, the chief executive of twitter admitted this was a terrible moment for the company. a tough day for us at twitter, we all feel terrible this happened. a couple of hours later, they began to explain and said it had been a coordinated attack which essentially tricked inside a staff of the company into effectively giving the hackers access to the whole system. they said it was a social engineering attack which usually means you've been sent an e—mail for instance which looks like it's from your boss asking you to click on a link and then you do that. that should not happen for a company like twitter. it has raised huge questions of the current security policy. a couple of questions and a lot of people want to know how people actually lost money? if you have a twitter account, should you be worried today? well, in terms of people losing money, people who were

foolish enough to send a bitcoin to these individuals, they will have lost money, but you might say, you know, it's a pretty obvious thing not to do. should you be worried about the security of your twitter account? well, we should all be worried that twitter is vulnerable in this way, but to be frank, they are targeting obviously these prominent individuals, eitherjust asa prominent individuals, eitherjust as a great get rich quick scheme or with some publicity angle in mind. for the moment, thank you very much. the time now is 710. scientists trialling a covid—19 vaccine at oxford university are expected to give an update on its effectiveness early next week. the oxford trial, one of 23 around the world, is currently testing the effectiveness of a potential vaccination against coronavirus. it comes as a group of 15 nobel prize winners, including one working at oxford, have written an open letter calling for healthy volunteers to be deliberately exposed to the virus in order to speed up

the development. a sculpture of a black lives matter protester erected in bristol yesterday has been taken down. the figure replaced a statue of slave trader edward colston that was pulled down last month, but it was installed without the knowledge or permission of the local council. the city's mayor, marvin rees, had said it was up to the people of bristol to decide what goes on the plinth. in the last few minutes, the official employment figures show that 75,000 people lost theirjobs over the last three months. the pandemic has had a severe impact on many businesses, but there are fears this will only get worse when the government's furlough scheme starts to disappear. we spoke to one business owner who said tough decisions will have to be made if things don't improve. i am kingdom thenga, the owner of two restaurants and bars in chester, the suburbs, as well as the yard. we have about 30 members of staff, members of the team on both venues,

and half of those are still on furlough due to the fact that some of the staff and team members have not felt comfortable, we have enjoyed a few to cover to be able to comply to all the regulations that we have been asked to comply to. i think, once the system is gone, as well as over the next couple of months, there are some very tough decisions that we are going to have to make. and that for me is very frustrating and it kind of takes away from the joy of what this industry is. it is tough. i think in this current climate, whereby it is all table service, and the one metre rule and, rightly so, i totally agree with it, i think, unless that changes over the next two months, i find it impossible to think that we will be able to keep

all the staff due to the fact that it is just not financially viable. fundamentally i think it is about survival until the end of the year, and the next year, 18 months. as long as we survive that, then, we can looking forward. let's get more on this morning's figures. we're now joined by the co—executive director of the british chamber of commerce, hannah essex. good to speak to you this morning. it's very important as we talk about statistics and we have a number this morning, at 7am, the numbers, which are sometimes difficult to interpret. we are talking about peoples lives and their livelihoods and it's always worth remembering that. what is the picture you are hearing from employers? well, i think the business owner you've just heard from a sum that up, it's

tough, people are facing tough choices. a coronavirusjob retention scheme which the government introduced quite early on a crisis has really helped to save peoples jobs and livelihoods and cap people employed over this difficult time. as businesses start to go back to work, they are seeing business picking up which is great but many of them have capacity because of the safer working guidance they've had to introduce and some of them are finding their demand isn't coming back because people are still not going out and behaving in the way they did pre—crisis, so as the retention scheme starts to cost people money, from the beginning of august, and comes to an end at the end of october, business is right around the country having to make this difficult choice about who they can continue to. our data today which we released suggests about a third of firms are looking to reduce their employee numbers over the next three months and that tracks across all businesses and could be significant numbers of people

finding themselves out of work. can you put a number on that for us? it's hard to say because i think we don't know what demand is going to look like. i think people now are thinking about their job look like. i think people now are thinking about theirjob cuts, but actually it's really early days in terms of business is reopening, but certainly it's looking at the kind of unemployment we've not seen for a really long time. i'm just trying to work this out, so if you're selling a third of firms are looking to reduce their staffing numbers, what are the ballpark figures? what are the parameters they ran the numbers of people who may not have work? it is in the hundreds of thousands if not the millions. as demand increases, that may change. there are still three months of valour in place and the government has the opportunity to do more particularly insect sectors seeing reduced capacity or where they cannot open —— three months of furlough. some

businesses still have not opened, they do not know what their income will look like. on the furlough scheme there are more than 9 million people part of that scheme. have you calculated in any sense, i know this is difficult, how many of those jobs effectively do not exist now, these people are still employed and paid but how many of those jobs are no longer there? that is very hard to say, every business is facing different circumstances. some are not even open yet. those jobs are technically still there but until they can really see what demand is light and consumer behaviour over the next few months, it is challenging to say from a business basis what that will look like. what we need is a first more confidence, for people to have the confidence, for people to have the confidence to spend as they did

before. we need clarity around public health messaging and what measures people need to take. that will help with confidence. we need government to consider what additional support is necessary to help businesses in these difficult times. for example, reducing national insurance contributions could help save morejobs national insurance contributions could help save more jobs and national insurance contributions could help save morejobs and get businesses going and growth going again. cani again. can i run one of the statistics from the office for national to, the number of people who are no longer on the payroll, so, 650,000 people fewer on payroll, according to these statistics. what does that figure mean to you? i have only just mean to you? i have onlyjust see those figures. iam not i have onlyjust see those figures. i am not really sure. some people missed out on the furlough scheme

who did not make the payroll in time to be eligible. it is possible they are not employed but not on furlough but also not unemployed. it could be people who are self—employed not currently working on payroll. just getting a first reaction to some of those unemployment statistics. we will be speaking to a government treasury minister in a few minutes. signing shirts, leavers' assemblies, and hugs all round, those are just some of the ways year 6 pupils would usually celebrate their last days of primary school. i still have my shirt from when i left school, all the writing. sadly for the class of 2020, lockdown has ruled out most of their celebrations this year. but that doesn't mean they still can't celebrate in style. they've just had to be a bit more creative.

put so much work into school life from nursery until year 6. it is important to let them have that chance to say goodbye to friends and staff. that was really important for us to give them that goodbye, to say thank you from the head, the staff and the governors and give them a sendoff they deserved. just believe in yourself, keep focusing on your future because, do not lose hope, times will get better. they will be stronger for

it. there will be better times, i really do believe that. and of course they're not the only ones. brea kfast‘s jayne mccubbin is at sacred hearts primary in the wirral to find out what festivities they've got planned. morning, jayne. i love seeing the bunting and sunshine, people dressed up. hello. there is no sunshine! but we do not care, team. they are getting ready to party for the graduation yeah. lynn is getting ready on the popcorn machine. mrs hill and the team. give us a twirl! they are getting ready to send off their year 6 kids in style but with safe social distancing. tell us all the things you would

normally be doing that you cannot do this year? on our last day we would be selling t—shirts, autograph books, lots of hugs and goodbyes, lots of tears normally from the teachers! this year you cannot do those things because of the pandemic. exactly. we have tried hard to alter our plans, make sure social distancing is in place. the thing is, you have a big party planned. the children don't know this yet. i hope they are not watching! we have bands coming in later, they are overthere. we have bands coming in later, they are over there. they are over there. an ice cream machine. a photobooth or socially distance. a goodie bag when they arrive. let us bring over margaret, the head teacher. sorry, mrs jackson. why is

this year so important and how gutted are you about what they are missing out on? we were devastated when we had to lock down and couldn't believe we would be here today not having had all of our year would be here today not having had all of ouryear6 in would be here today not having had all of our year 6 in the such a long time. that has been really upsetting. we have had key workers. 150 children in each day for these weeks. why is this transition year so important? it isa important? it is a rite of passage, something eve ryo ne it is a rite of passage, something everyone remembers. all those things you do, the school play, end of year mass, the residential visit, the things we have had to cancel are the things we have had to cancel are the things that prepare children for their next stage in life going on to secondary school. those who have been back, we have had half of the year6, we been back, we have had half of the year 6, we have done some of that rhythm. the teachers have worked

really ha rd on rhythm. the teachers have worked really hard on google classroom, on twitter. this will be their first time in four months that year 6 have all been back? yes. you can see how happy we are all about it. they won't remember it for all the reasons we remember it for our year 6 graduation. but it will be epic. join us later. a lovely scene down there. it doesn't matter there is no sunshine. everyone is giving us a wave, fabulous. fewer people and less traffic have allowed britain's wildlife to flourish during months of lockdown. one amateur photographer has been using this opportunity to revel in his love of nature, whilst passing on some of his knowledge to his children. dave edwards has been to meet them.

making the most of life in lockdown. with fewer of us around and fewer cars on the road, conservationists say there have been hidden benefits for other species. and that's given this family the chance to get closer to nature and pick up some new skills. it's exciting because when i come out i think i'm going to find something amazing. my dad is going to go wandering. it's good. i enjoy taking pictures of wildlife. and i like butterflies and stuff. so i like taking pictures of them and birds and stuff like that. these pictures were taken by the children. they've been off school since march, but this gives them a different way to learn. if you stop and stand and watch for ten or 15 minutes it's amazing whatjumps out of the hedgerow. it gets them away from the tablets. it gets them out of the house.

certainly in lockdown, everyone was in the house, cramped up, it was nice to get out. it's nice to teach them about nature. it's nice to show them wildlife. they are really interested, so i try and encourage it really. a grasshopper! let's have a look. wayne says some of these animals seem to have flourished during lockdown with more freedom to roam as fewer of us get in their way. the lack of noise, the lack of disturbance, you've got to think about air quality, with no traffic because we know it's widely reported air quality got better and it was quite nice and it just encourages wildlife to come out. it was almost easy taking pictures of them. scientists have already begun to analyse the changes that the restrictions on our lives have brought to the natural world. there have been benefits for plenty of animals and a few budding photographers, as well. and wayne munton joins us now.

good morning. thank you. we have been indulging in those fantastic pictures. what a joy. good morning. yes, it suddenly was a joy. like i said, not down did seem to create less noise, less traffic, definitely made a massive difference to the animals, they seem to come closer to the roads, they were everywhere. just watching for ten minutes and it is amazing what you see. one of the lovely things about clearly what you are doing, you do not. sometimes, even before lough dan, if you start looking and listening a bit, you don't have to go that far to see something really rather remarkable. definitely not. all those pictures you have seen on those, were taken ten miles from the town centre. did you have a particular favourite?

my did you have a particular favourite? my favourite picture has got to be. the badger picture, it took me a little while to get that. tell us the circumstances there. i found tell us the circumstances there. ifound a tell us the circumstances there. i found a badger set when tell us the circumstances there. ifound a badger set when i tell us the circumstances there. i found a badger set when i was out walking in wintertime. i thought i would come back injune when the young badgers were active. i kept coming back and after the fourth visit i got that picture. although it took me several months, on the fourth visit when the young badgers we re fourth visit when the young badgers were active, i was quite made up when i took that picture. iam no when i took that picture. i am no expert in badgers but if we look again it would appear the badger is posing for you booking right down the lens. i thought the same when i took the picture. i was lucky that day. he

looked straight at me and i clicked away. couldn't wait to get home to look at exactly what i had on camera. your enthusiasm has robbed alf on some of the youngsters, your own daughter has taken some beautiful pictures —— your enthusiasm has rubbed off on some of the youngsters. it gets them out of the house, they run around the garden with a camera. they can't wait to take pictures in summer. they can't wait to take pictures in summer. i they can't wait to take pictures in summer. | encourage they can't wait to take pictures in summer. i encourage it, they do enjoy it. lovely to see. for those who don't have a fancy camera, you can do it with your phone. i still take pictures with my mobile phone. i obviously do carry a digital camera but i still take pictures on my mobile phone. the quality is almost as good as a good camera. there is no excuse.

you can take pictures. lovely talking to you this morning. some great pictures he has been taking. lots coming up on the programme. restau ra nts lots coming up on the programme. restaurants are hitting back at customers failing to turn up after making reservations at their restau ra nts. making reservations at their restaurants. and the latest news and weather. now, let's get the weather, with matt. hopefully more sunshine on the way. there should be more sunshine over the next few days. good morning. it was dismal yesterday, not the ideal july day. fairly grey and cloudy but overall a brighter day. still good

to be that bit warmer. the air has come from a slightly warmer direction. this is the warm front which brought result. then, temperatures lifted. later in the weekend, to the north west of scotland, a few splashes of rain. the cloud could be thick enough in western areas. a better chance of cloud breaks. turning wetter towards the hebrides. in the east of scotland, 24 degrees compared to 15 on the west coast. sunny spells in northern ireland this afternoon. cloud for england and wales. to the east, the best chance of sunshine. temperatures peaking in hampshire at 24. a warmer day. tonight, then across

the north—west of scotland. much of england and wales bill stay dry. look at the temperatures, another mark night. into the mid teens for many. a mild start to tomorrow. damp in scotland. that wet weather spread to the isle of man, the far north—west of wales. to the south, cloud, with sunny breaks, warmer than today, up to 26. the north of the weather front, fresher air, temperatures will take a dip. around 20 celsius. that weatherfront slowly meanders further southwards at the weekend. a slight difference north to south. the south is warm and humid. clouding over in the day.

some showers. the rain in northern england will clear. 24 celsius in the south—east corner. 17 at best further north. that fresher air pushes the mild weather out of the way on sunday. sunday, early rain, most cases it seemed sunshine. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. in the last few minutes, we got the latest unemployment statistics. yes, we understand that the number of employees on payroll is down 650,000. the unemployment rate for may is 3.9%, not changed. let's find

out the impact of all of this and how the government will react to this. joining us now is business secretary alok sharma from central london. good morning to you. would you like to give me your instant reaction to the numbers and how you are thinking this is going to further pan out? good morning. thank you for having me on. look, i think anyone who is facing unemployment, for them it will be an incredibly worrying time you want to reach out and support eve ryo ne you want to reach out and support everyone through ourjob centre network, the rapid response service, and what i would say, as a result of the support the government has provided, £160 billion of support through this pandemic and supported 9.4 millionjobs, through this pandemic and supported 9.4 million jobs, through through this pandemic and supported 9.4 millionjobs, through the furlough scheme, you will have seen from the figures, if we hadn't provided the support, we would be in afar provided the support, we would be in a far worse position and the cost of inaction would have been far greater than the cost of action. what we need to do now is to continue to pf°p up need to do now is to continue to prop up the economy in a careful and phased way. get britain back to

work. and work together to support businesses with a bounce back. ok, we've spoken about the benefits of the furlough scheme. let's talk about the benefits of that and the impact of it, 9.4 million people in this furlough scheme at the moment. so they are technically, neither employed nor jobless. but so they are technically, neither employed norjobless. but what is guaranteed is that there will come a point when the furlough scheme is wound down and that begins to be tapered off in september. they have to look forjobs. tapered off in september. they have to look for jobs. how tapered off in september. they have to look forjobs. how there enough jobs for them out there to be filled, bearing in mind many of their employers who have taken up their employers who have taken up the furlough scheme will not be able to keep them in employment? will there be enough jobs out there for them? the first thing is we hope as many businesses as possible are able to keep on people in work and that's why thejob to keep on people in work and that's why the job retention scheme has been running and will run for a period of eight months and you'll also know the chancellor announced thejob retention bonus, an extra

boost of £9 billion if all businesses keep people on until january. so we want to make sure we can provide all the support we can to allow businesses to continue trading and be viable and on top of that, we have been providing grants for small businesses, hundreds of thousands of businesses, £25,000 grants, provided support in terms of rates holidays, bounce back loans, that has been available, over1 million of those have been approved in the last few weeks. and we are continuing to provide that support. ultimately, i understand that this is very difficult and as the chancellor said, we are not going to be able to protect absolutely every singlejob. we are doing everything we can. that has been made clear and you've spoken about the grounds on the bounce back loans and the chance was made clear you can support every singlejob. good to know that. but i

suppose what i'm asking what people would like to know is how bad this will be? we've just spoken to the chamber of commerce said one third of all businesses are likely to lose some staff when the furlough scheme ends. that could be at least1 million people. do you have a figure of how bad it's going to be for us in the future because often armed as being forearmed when it comes to bad news coming our way. yes, there are a range of various external bodies predictions and the most important is to support people in jobs right now and that's what we're doing and second is to supportjobs and new schemes we are bringing forward, you will know that in the statement of the chancellor made parliament last week, he also announced a scheme where we will make sure homes are energy efficient and at the same time, 140,000 jobs in the green

energy sector time, 140,000 jobs in the green energy sector are time, 140,000 jobs in the green energy sector are protected as well. he also set out plans to kick—start young people, schemes for additional funding to support apprenticeships, a whole range of support schemes, traineeships, so we are doing a lot to try to support individuals to stay injobs to try to support individuals to stay in jobs and to try to support individuals to stay injobs and get to try to support individuals to stay in jobs and get newjobs and get new training and that's what we will continue to do. when you talk about schemes that protect 140,000 jobs, this is in light of the number of people, just claiming work—related benefits, 2.8 million. there is obviously going to be sympathy up there for the government which is trying to do, as you've made clear throughout this interview, laid out all the schemes, you are putting money towards, but the fact is that there are statistics that could mean one in eight of us, we'll be facing unemployment. how do we, as a society, and economy, deal with that? how will you prepare us to live in that environment? as i said,

i think the best thing the government can do is to support those businesses. if we haven't put in place... not support the businesses but support those unemployed. i speak every day to businesses, i speak every day to businesses, i speak every day to business organisations and what they will tell you is the schemes put in place, we've saved jobs. it's allowed businesses to continue to employ people and keep them on. the best thing the government can do is to continue to provide that support an extra £30 billion and we'll see what the chancellor says in the budget in the autumn, but we want to continue to open up the economy in a safe and cautious way and that's how we ensure we protectjobs in the uk. this is a global pandemic and governments across the world are facing similar challenges, but if you look at the response of the uk government has had, it has been one of the best internationally and will continue to support people and we'll

continue to support people and we'll continue to support people and we'll continue to put our arms around people facing job losses, and around the business community. when you've spoken to those businesses, and i will ask you who you spoken to, who is unemployed at the moment, how they alluded to the british chamber of commerce asking for an example of temporary cuts in national insurance contributions? have they suggested that would help them to retain staff? there's a whole range of suggestions which come through. what about that one? as i said, there's a whole range coming from businesses of suggestions, so let's see what the chancellor says in the budget. the chamber of commerce is one of the organisations i've spoken to. they have welcomed the scheme the government is put in place. what about the businesses you come as business secretary, has spoken to before rishi sunak makes any announcement, you said you been speaking to businesses. how they send you a temporary cut in national insurance has been helpful and they would like you to push for that? no,

i have lots of conversations under all sorts of suggestions made by people. we will have a look at what suggestions they've made and ultimately these are matters for the chancellor and the prime minister, but what i think is people should see the support we have provided so far that £160 billion, and an extra £30 billion, and of course you'd have seen from the prime ministers speech a few days ago when he talked about wanting to build infrastructure, wanting to create jobs, bringing forward investment... which we will hear on friday, as you've made very clear. you've said you've made very clear. you've said you spoken to businesses, so have you spoken to businesses, so have you spoken to anyone who's been made redundant in the last month or who knows they won't have a job to go back to or is unemployed? you said you spoken to a lot of businesses. i've had correspondence with constituent in that position, yes. people who have written to you? yes, it's incredibly difficult, and i've written back i'm set out the support available and you will know in terms

of the welfare support, we've put in more money into the universal credit, so there is support out there but i'm not denying it is not going to be a difficult time for many individuals and families, so what we can do as government is to support them with the schemes we are putting in place and continue to do that. what is unacceptable number? what is your projected number four how many will be unemployed at this time spring next year? look, you know, what we want to do is safeguard as many jobs know, what we want to do is safeguard as manyjobs in business as we can, and that a starting point and that is how we mean to go on. i can only refer you to all the schemes we have put in place. i think if you talk to business organisations, and businesses, they will tell you that if we hadn't done what we had done, what we have done, then the economy would be in a far worse position. i sharma, business

secretary, thank you for your time this morning. —— alloc sharma. the time of 741. let's pay a little attention to sport now. what have you got for us? a big day for england and scotland. good morning. england's cricketers have their captain back, as they try to save the test series against the west indies. joe root missed the first test defeat to be at the birth of his second child, and is confident the team can bounce back and they have to, because it's only a three match series. it all starts this morning at emirates old trafford which is where we find bbc cricket's, eesha guha, inside the bio bubble there. morning, eesha. jim isa jim is a sense of what it's like in this new world? yes, it's still a bit strange, i got to be honest, mike. but great to see everyone. we have a cricket family so it was nice to see everyone. the last test match in hampshire, we are back up here, we had to do temperature checks as we had to do temperature checks as we came in, we have got our

accreditation and they got monitors on them chucking us wherever we go. but it's not a bad review, i gotta say from my hotel room. wow! the cove rs a re say from my hotel room. wow! the covers are off. manchester, you're turning it off for us. you don't have far to go from your hotel room to the commentary box which is a bonus, so what about the england team? bonus, so what about the england team ? because bonus, so what about the england team? because it's his home ground, nojimmy team? because it's his home ground, no jimmy anderson, he team? because it's his home ground, nojimmy anderson, he is left out, but what impact canjoe root‘s return have? a huge impact. when you look at that top order, it is a relatively inexperienced. i know a lot of these guys have played county cricket, but in terms of a number of england caps, there is not about money, so england caps, there is not about money, so he willjust shore up that kind of top order, and then you have ben stokes coming in after that. a middle order but in terms of the number of england caps, there's not that many, so he willjust shore up that many, so he willjust shore up that kind of top order, and then you have ben stokes coming in after that. a middle order that are experienced. and he'sjust so

consistent. in such a consistent performer in test cricket. he can ta ke performer in test cricket. he can take all that weight off a ben sto kes's take all that weight off a ben stokes's shoulders in terms of the captaincy, so he can focus on what he does best, england's talisman, the go—to guy, whenever we need a wicked and runs, and, yeah, it's a shame not to have a james anderson here bowling from the james anderson end, someone who has got so many incredible steals behind him and the best seam bowler in the world. but we do have strength in depth, six test matches being played within seven test matches being played within seven weeks, so it's a really condensed schedule, they probably just want to give other guys an opportunity, especially with pakistan coming up in a few weeks' time. and what about the west indies? they will hope they can finish thejob indies? they will hope they can finish the job and complete first series win here since 1988 and they've got the whole caribbean spurring them on with his messages coming in from different prime ministers? absolutely, just brings eve ryo ne ministers? absolutely, just brings everyone together in the caribbean. the story behind them is they were

the dominant force in world cricket for 15 years, not losing a series for 15 years, not losing a series for 15 years during the 80s and 90s, and that they went on this incredible decline which hurts. it hit the caribbean. to see them perform as they have done i think it's just galvanised all those countries and everyone is really behind them. it's a great time for them to watch, as well. they are five and was behind anjason holder, what a very special leader he is, spokesman for the game and his very proper team together. what is your gut feeling, hate to put you on the spot, there is a long way to go on the series but for this test, can england level the series with one to go after this? i believe they can. they've got the players to do so. they've got the players to do so. they find themselves in a situation quite a bit, actually, in test series, you see that they lose the first test, i don't know about that is, we need to get our fingers first test, i don't know about that is, we need to get ourfingers on my daughters, but they generally come

back into it and joe root will be desperate to obviously lead from the front with the bat in hand. i think it's a bit more of a straightforward decision. the pitch looks quite flat, hard wicked, generally and it turns later on. we sought hampshire, it didn't turn on days four and five as much as they would have liked and even though its overcast conditions, it might move around a bit. i think, yeah, england will win the test match. great stuff all england fans will be pleased about that. thank you and go and enjoy your breakfast. we willjoin you later for highlights on bbc two this evening at 7pm and coverage don't forget on bbc test match special. liverpool bossjurgen klopp, says he was "disappointed and angry" as the premier league champions lost at arsenal. it means they can't break the record for most points in a season. they were ahead before a mistake from captain virgil van dyke let in alexander lacazette to equalise for arsenal.

and then, more poor defending helped reiss nelson score the winner, a minute before half—time, meaning liverpool can't pass manchester city's record of 100 points this season. very disappointed. record... 93 points, it is incredible. we wanted to win this game today. i saw that. but you cannot win a football game in the premier league when you take a five minute break. the bournemouth manager eddie howe, admits he's "devastated" by their 2—1 defeat at manchester city. david silva with the pick of city's goals. bournemouth put up a real fight. but it leaves them three points from safety, with two games to go. "incredible". that's how tottenham boss jose mourinho described harry kane, as he passed the 200 goal mark at club level, with two more at newcastle. spurs won 3—1 taking them up to seventh.

and spurs are nowjust a point behind wolves after they were held to a 1—1 draw at burnley. that's despite rauljiminez putting them ahead. however, burnley were given a injury—time penalty which chris wood scored. two matches to go for those clubs now and european places and relegation issues still to be decided. and a chat with a rugby coach data? eddiejones, fascinating to hear him as he builds england up for the 2023 world cup with his new contract. he is never dull. a third town in lancashire is being closely watched as cases of covid—19 continue to rise in the district. their are fears that pendle, along with blackburn and darwen, could soon face local lockdowns similar to that in leicester, if the rate of infection is not controlled. graham satchell has more. in leicester, they are going door—to—door, volunteers

handing out test kits, hunting down the virus. would you be interested in taking a test? literally, it is just a swab test. 0k. so, you just put it into the back of your throat. i can do it if you want. yeah, 0k. i think a lot of people think, you know, i am fine, i am absolutely fine, but i suppose we don't know how many people are still carrying this. who we are not aware of. so, encouraging people, even if they don't have symptoms, to take the test. the streets of leicester are still deserted, it remains the only city in the uk in total lockdown. the number of confirmed cases in leicester is still the highest in the country, but other hotspots like pendle, blackburn, bradford are not far behind. cases in peterborough are also on the rise. my concern is that if we get too many cases amongst our working age population, then inevitably some people who are vulnerable will catch it and we don't want to be in the situation where we are seeing rapid spread. we know how to prevent it,

we know the behaviours that will prevent it. we need the whole community to understand that those behaviours need to be followed. nobody in peterborough wants to move to another lockdown. this is blackburn. the local authority here has introduced its own measures, just short of lockdown, to control the numbers. face coverings, for example, must be worn in all enclosed public spaces. shaking hands is not allowed. local medical experts have put messages out on social media, aimed at the south asian community, where numbers are particularly high. in pendle, there are signs everywhere and again, the centre of concern is the south asian community. it seems to be particularly affecting young south asian individuals between 20 and 40 years. as the lockdown lifts, we are seeing there are still high levels of infection going on in the community. it is a reminder that we are still in the middle of a pandemic

and the virus can very quickly come back. back in leicester, a protest in the village of glenfield. it is on the edge of the city and the number of cases here has been relatively small. but kim's pub like everything else in the village remains shut. it feels very unfair. i have got a cellar full of beer, which we were hoping that we were opening on the 4th ofjuly and i can't use it. leicester should find out today if the lockdown here will continue, but it is clear as time goes on, local restrictions will become another part of our new normal. graham satchell, bbc news. many people have been unable to say goodbye to loved ones during the pandemic, and today an interfaith memorial event is being held to remember those who died. the service, taking place at manchester cathedral, will be attended by 70 people and also streamed online. we're joined now by the dean of manchester, rogers govender, who will be leading it.

good morning to you. can you give us a sense of how this occasion will work in practice, what will be the scene work in practice, what will be the scene people can join work in practice, what will be the scene people canjoin in? good morning. we look forward to welcoming people to the cathedral and online at 11am today. it is essentially a service, an interfaith service during which a candle will be lit by the high sheriff to remember all those who have died, and especially front line workers in the nhs and other care services, and we will also be launching the online memorial book which andy burnham and i will do together. it is meant to be an opportunity to gather the community together around the memorial book when folk will have a chance to remember their loved ones whom they have lost

during this pandemic. what you will be very aware of is for many families, because of coronavirus, and the restrictions, they have not had the opportunity to say goodbye to their loved ones in a way that they would otherwise do. i am not sure what kind of contact you have had with people in connection with that? i have conducted funerals in that situation and it has been very distressing. not to be able to say goodbye to loved ones will be at their bedside at their deaths has been most distressing, and people are been most distressing, and people a re really been most distressing, and people are really struggling with the lack of closure and so on. and my hope is that this online memorial book, we hope we will have a chance to write if you words, to post a photograph,

and say a few words about their loved one. it will be a small way in which they can find a little bit of closure, i hope. that is our prayer, thatis closure, i hope. that is our prayer, that is the reason why we are launching this online memorial book at this point in time, even though we are in the midst of a pandemic. we feel it will make a difference to many people. ijust wonder, in many people. i just wonder, in those circumstances you describe of having conducted funerals in those circumstances and how people have not been able to mark an occasion they normally would, what have you been able to say to people by way of comfort? it has been very hard. it has been very ha rd it has been very hard. it has been very hard for clergy. you are quite right, it has been more words and actions in the sense that what words mean we could normally shake their hands, give a comforting hug, a

touch on the shoulder, some form of comfort in that way, clergy have not been able to do that as we would normally do. it has been words from a distance. and all we have been able to do is offer prayers, pray with people who have lost loved ones, from a distance. to visit but not to be very close and up and close. it has been distanced care and comfort which has been tough for families, tough for those who are bereaved, and tough for those in the church and faith communities as we have minister to people. it has been very ha rd have minister to people. it has been very hard for everyone concerned. everyone will have their own experiences of bereavement, you can sometimes latch on to other positives about a life led, or about things someone has done. in these circumstances, i guess today is a

service is partly to do with that, it is harder in the circumstances we are in, isn't it? it is very hard. i think we realise the importance of comfort, the power of touch, the power of a hug, of a handshake. what has come to the fore has been the importance of words, the importance of memories shared about somebody, the importance of symbolism, the importance of prayer, and the importance of lighting a candle which we will do today at the service at 11. all of these symbols and words have come to have greater meaning for so many of us during this time. simply because the ability to physically comfort one another has not been possible. we have had to care for one another,

support one another in different ways. the ongoing contact between us, those who are bereaved, through the telephone, calling one another and so on, all of that has continued and so on, all of that has continued and continue to bring comfort wherever possible. we wish you well with today's event, 11am at manchester cathedral, thank you very much. you have had a lovely variety of pictures. you had sunshine in the last one. and sunshine in this one as well. good morning. as our weather watcher suggests, scarborough looking grumpy with grey skies. but blue skies in cumbria, a good deal of sunshine. and for more of you, sunshine developing today compared with

yesterday. even if it stays grey. and a bit warmer out there compared with yesterday. one of the damp kissed places this morning is the far north of scotland and the highlands. the cloud is thick enough for light rain or drizzle. most places will be dry. central and eastern areas will see the cloud breaking. once the sun comes out it will feel warmer than yesterday, widely into their 20s, peaking at 24 in north east scotland. a lot of dry weather around but a little bit of drizzle this morning to interrupt play at the test match. overnight, rain will become extensive. much of england and wales will be dry. temperatures, another mild night coming into the teens. a

warm enough start to tomorrow. on the downside in south—west scotland and northern ireland. the odd heavier pulse of brian —— of rain. outbreaks of rain developing particularly on the western side of the pennines. across england and wales, temperatures even higher in the sunshine, 26 in the south—east. north of the rain band, it will feel cooler, temperatures in the teens. the weather front bringing that change meanders southwards on saturday. brightening up in northern england after a damp start. damp across wales, spreading into the midlands and lincolnshire. could still hit 25 once more. cooler

further north with sunny spells. sunshine for all of you on sunday. feeling fresher. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today... more bad news onjobs — the number of workers on uk payrolls has dropped by nearly 650,000. the number of vacancies is at a record low and average pay is falling so i will be looking at what you need to do to improve yourjob prospects. some of the world's most high profile twitter accounts are hacked in an attempted scam. among those targeted are bill gates, barack obama and kim kardashian. good morning from our class of 2020 lever party and they are excited!

unfinished business. england rugby union head coach eddiejones says his new contract is all about winning the next world cup in france, in 2023, and he willjoin us on breakfast at 8:30. good morning. the number of workers on uk payrolls has fallen by 649,000 between march and june, according to official figures published this morning. economists say the full effect on employment will not be felt until the furlough scheme ends in october. we can get morton out with chris mason. can you give us an oversight? in a way, these statistics are a bit confusing. yes, these are published by the office for national statistics in the last hour and they are patchy and rather confusing because we are still living through the economic realities of this

pandemic. and the significant government schemes, particularly the furlough scheme which pays the wages of millions of private sector employees, 80% of the wages, is still going on and so perhaps that masks the extent of the economic pain that is to come. to talk through a few of these, uk workers on company payroll falling by 649,000 during the lockdown. the number of people on work—related benefits now standing at 2.6 million. at the number of paid employees falling by around 2% year on year to june employees falling by around 2% year on year tojune and the claimant count for unemployment doubling since march. crucially, that furlough scheme is still in operation but will start unwinding very soon operation but will start unwinding very soon and that might mask the scale of what is to come. here is the business secretary reacting to these numbers in the last half—hour. it is incredibly difficult and i

have written back to set up to support that is available. you will know that in terms of welfare support we are putting more money into universal credit so there is support out there but i am not denying it will not be a difficult time for many individuals and families. what we can do as a government is support them with the scheme is put in place and we will continue to do that. a bit of reaction this morning, labour saying it is vitally important that government support measures it is vitally important that government support measures are more targeted at those sectors of the economy likely to struggle the most in the coming months. and some reaction from the cbi, the employers organisation, take this points to serious difficulties, as they describe it, for hundreds of thousands of people around the uk. they make the stark warning that this is only just they make the stark warning that this is onlyjust the beginning. for the moment, thank you. twitter has been the subject of a massive hack — targeting some of the biggest names in the united states including prominent figures in business,

politics and entertainment. the list includes bill gates, kanye west, as well as barack obama and joe biden. as part of the scam, fake tweets were posted from verified accounts, asking people to make donations to a bitcoin cryptocurrency account. for more on this let's speak to our technology correspondent rory cellan—jones. this gradually emerged, people were looking at the twitter sites of famous people and strange messages we re famous people and strange messages were appearing? when it first started i was looking at twitter and a couple of well—known individuals, the likes of elon musk, tweeting they wanted to help, please send me some bitcoin and i'll send you back twice as much, an obvious scam. you obviously thought that their accou nts obviously thought that their accounts had been hacked but as more and more followed, dozens of prominent individuals, it became clear it was not the individuals that had been hacked but the whole

system, a huge crisis for twitter. its chief executive, jack dorsey, tweeted that it was a tough day and they felt terrible but they were still not clear how it happened. a couple of hours later, they began to reveal the techniques used by the hackers, what is called social engineering to put it we know they mounted a coordinated attack targeting employees with access to internal systems. they got into what is called the god system, the inner controls of twitter, and managed to ta ke controls of twitter, and managed to take control of all these accounts put it that should not have been allowed to happen, it's a huge embarrassment for twitter. it is a technique commonly used against all sorts of companies but someone like twitter should have much better defences are. and a quick thought, should people be worried? if you have a twitter account, are there any implications crushing i know this has been described as a targeted attack. i suppose what we

should all be worried about is that this highlights that there is a huge security hole in twitter. it is not targeted at most people but at high profile individuals for publicity and possibly to make some money but it's still pretty worrying. thank you. the mp, julian lewis, has been kicked out of the conservative party after he was voted in as chair of the intelligence and security committee instead of the government's preferred candidate, chris grayling. a senior government source accused mr lewis of colluding with opposition mps to secure the position. borisjohnson has suggested that parliament could move to york while the palace of westminster in london is renovated. the prime minister confirmed in a letter that the government is considering establishing a northern hub and it would make sense to consider it as a potential location. if the move happens, it won't be until 2025 at the earliest. a sculpture of a black lives matter protester erected in bristol yesterday has been taken down.

the figure replaced a statue of slave trader edward colston that was pulled down last month, but it was installed without the knowledge or permission of the local council. the city's mayor, marvin rees, had said it was up to the people of bristol to decide what goes on the plinth. putting a statue on that plinth overnight did not come in line with that process and therefore it can't stay. it will be protected, it's an incredible piece of work to a very inspirational woman, but the statue in and of itself, falling outside that process can't stay because there is a process that was think is essential to bringing the city together. the time now is seven minutes past eight. scientists working on a covid—19 vaccine at oxford university are expected to give an update on their progress as early as next week. it comes as a group of 15 nobel prize winners have written an open letter calling for volunteers to be deliberately exposed to coronavirus in order

to speed up the development. joining us now with the latest is our health correspondent fergus walsh. always lovely to see you, good morning. good morning. how are you doing? i'm good. what you make of this, deliberately infecting people with a coronavirus to try to push on with a coronavirus to try to push on with the vaccine which is what many of us simply want to see as soon as possible? it's a really interesting idea and it has been tried many times before. i have watched as somebody has been deliberately infected with typhoid asked that they had received a typhoid vaccine. that was done in oxford, it must have been a decade or more ago. and it has been tried with malaria vaccines, it is a well tried and trusted technique to show whether a vaccine works. it has not been tried so vaccine works. it has not been tried so far with coronavirus vaccines because they have not been proven treatments. we do have a couple now,

but there is growing mood and a drive to have what i call these challenge studies, and some of the arguments behind it are that very young, fit people in their early 20s with no underlying health conditions would be an extremely low risk of being a very unwell if the vaccine did not work. —— what people call challenge studies. it would be a way of finding out almost immediately whether any of the 140 vaccines in early development, and 23 in the clinic, whether they actually work. it isa clinic, whether they actually work. it is a risk but i suppose science, the approach is changing i suppose but can you tell me where the projects are in terms of tackling that vaccine? there are a lot of

different vaccines in development. the oxford vaccine group is due to deliver its findings in the lancet on monday which i'm sure will show that the vaccine produces a good immune response. we have had a seattle —based trial there with moderna, there vaccine reduced very good immune response results yesterday which were hailed by anthony fauci in the us, the head of research out there. and pfizer has a back seat and imperial college is also in the race to get one. it is not a race against different groups but against coronavirus because that is what we need, as we all know and as we keep saying, to have a real exit strategy against this whole pandemic, something that actually stops you, prevents you from getting infected in the first place. a quick word, reading the front page of the

daily telegraph, these vaccine hopes are rising but what is a double defence against a virus? this is what the oxford vaccine is trying to do. your immune system is hugely complex and we talk a lot about antibodies. all the vaccine is under development are trying to induce a good antibody response which will stay in your immune memory, but there are specific types of antibodies, neutralising antibodies, which are the ones you want because they bind onto the spikes of the coronavirus protein. there is another part of the immune response, the t cell response, and that sweeps up the t cell response, and that sweeps up after any antibodies that are missed and it kills any cells that have been infected. the oxford vaccine and some of the others are also looking to get good t cell

responses and it is that twin approach if the immune system which could be really important. the big question of course is, even if we get good immune responses and good dual immune responses, we will not know if any of these vaccines work, until, in the real world, those volu nteers until, in the real world, those volunteers go on to get exposed to coronavirus and there are trials happening for the oxford vaccine in south africa and brazil where prevalence of the disease is higher and they will also have a trial in the us. that is why these challenge studies, keeping a group of young and fit and healthy volunteers in a building for a couple of weeks and seeing what happens to them, that would be a way of cutting all of that out and finding straightaway. thank goodness there are people willing to do it! there are thousands, more than 30,000 have joined this group called one day

soon who are willing to do it and there were a lot of noble laureates, indeed the director of the moderna institute in oxford, he supports the idea of the principle of challenge studies if they can be done safely —— the jenner institute. studies if they can be done safely -- the jenner institute. thank you. back to our lead story. that is the statistics coming in from the office of national statistics around unemployment. sean is in liverpool for us. every time we talk about it, it's really important to point out that this is about peoples lives, families that will be affected. the one number that might draw a lot of attention and maybe you can explain this, the number of workers on uk payrolls falling by 649,000 between march and june. what does that mean?

that means that those people who we re that means that those people who were in work, working for businesses, getting paid, it may be monthly on a payroll, when the office for national statistics did a snapshot of the number of employees on payrolls across the country in june, they found it was 650,000 fewer em ployees june, they found it was 650,000 fewer employees on the database on payrolls around the country than there were in march. the reason it does not seem to filter through to the unemployment rate that we talk about so much, which is still under 496 about so much, which is still under 4% and hasn't really risen that much since the beginning of lockdown, is because that unemployment rate looks at different period of time and has at different period of time and has a different measure of what it classifies as people out of work whereas the payroll figure is something we might not have talked about much before coronavirus, but economists and the government are able to use it as a bit more of an up—to—date bit of data of what is happening in a very fast moving

labour market right now. and a lot of people have quickly moved on to a furlough scheme, having conversations with bosses about what might happen next. here in liverpool they have seen the proportion of people claiming benefits, whether in work or out of books, increase at one of the highest rates in the country. over the mersey in birkenhead, if we look at vacancies, there are stats saying they are at record lows there and it is one of the most competitive areas in the country for applying for a job. a lot of different data to tell us what is happening to people but at the end of the day, it is that uncertainty people are going through. we spoke to a couple of people, danielle, who has been furloughed and then let go just starting her career, and she told us her story, as did phil, a pilot lost hisjob at flybe her story, as did phil, a pilot lost his job at flybe after the airline collapsed in march. i love the flying aspect of it, like a doctor loves being a doctor,

like an artist loves being an artist. it is a certain passion that you have for it, it's a vocation and that's what i had for being a pilot. redundancy was the last thing on my mind. ijust thought i'd be placed on furlough and then, when things settle, i'll eventually go back into work. we all got an e—mail, "please come to the hanger." we were met by the ceo and representatives from the administrator. and they told us what the situation was. if you got a letter, then you was made, you know, one of them people that was under consultation and then, if you got a phone call, then yourjob was safe and unfortunately that wasn't me. i was devastated. i was absolutely devastated. i do feel a sense of shame in a way because, for me,

i don't like to be out of work. i love working, i love being in ajob. i wish i knew what i could do now. my plan, basically, is to look at anything that i can do. i try and call the recruitment agency and i cannot get through to them. i can have quite a few days where ijust feel like, what's the point? i'm never going to find a job. you know, i can get very upset, but i've just got to think, at the end of the day, i've got my health, i'm young. all my family have survived through the pandemic and ijust think, one day i will get a job and i've just got to keep optimistic about it. a situation a lot of people can probably empathise with so what do you do if you feel like you want to crack on with the next stage of your

life and maybe look atjob prospects? kate mccarthy booths with an expert in the jobs field. you see these figures, you're going through something that is very uncertain at the minute so what is the first thing you should be doing if you have lost your job thing you should be doing if you have lost yourjob or you feel it might be going at some point? take a deep breath initially, but from getting out there and getting a new job perspective, get a great cv written, talk to the people around you, your peers, your support network, people that know you at work and get a really great cv and get some feedback on it. get out on social media, get present. sounds great in theory... i know. but you are in one of the most uncertain point in your life right now. how do you almost keep your chin up when you almost keep your chin up when you are applying forjobs and there aren't that many out there? thousands of people going for the samejob. thousands of people going for the same job. it's really hard on one of the biggest things i talk about is managing your mindset through this,

you have to be resilient at a hard time and appreciate that sounds easier than it is. but getting a job as your newjob, but it is important, to create routine in your life. get up in the morning, i'm going to look for a job or write my cv, set some goals and targets. to know what you want to achieve in a day. surround yourself with positive people as well as other people who may be gone there and be in that position but then found a job. look for the success stories, the positive things, because there are lots of them, as much as it is really ha rd lots of them, as much as it is really hard at the moment. do you see some positives? definitely, and if you are on linkedln which is a great social media platform to be on, to talk about yourjourney, a lot of people are supporting each other them and saying, this is what idid and other them and saying, this is what i did and i did get something to. people helping each other. we are trying to do that as well. you need help or support or a question, a lot of people are really putting each other at the moment. thank you for those tips and being with us this

morning. if you want some more tips or some advice, go to the bbc sounds at and you can subscribe to the york work your money podcast where i speak to experts in the world of money and savings to talk about getting your career going as far as it can and hopefully the tips might help. but these figures are really showing that there are hundreds of thousands of people who are going through a lot of uncertainty right now and they don't include necessarily these numbers, all the redundancies we have heard from some big businesses in recent weeks, so it is expected that the numbers could get tougher before they get better. it is a point well-made. as you said, we have talked to politicians and experts and statisticians and then you hear the voices of people who have already lost theirjobs voices of people who have already lost their jobs and voices of people who have already lost theirjobs and it does really bring it home. thank you. we spoke to business secretary alok sharma a short while ago. at 838 we will talk

to shadow chancellor anneliese dodds but now we can talk to the chairman of reed recruitment. lovely to have you with us. i'd be keen to hear your thoughts, we were saying that the implication from whoever we talk to in terms of economists is that the numbers will get worse before getting better. do you have a picture in your head, or are you able to get one now, as the figures come through and we know that furlough is tapering? good morning. the picture is a difficult one, certainly, and the data that came out today, if you dig underneath it, the headline is 3.9% unemployment but if you dig in it, it says that job vacancies have fallen to a record low, lower even than in 2009. that is challenging and makes it difficult for people to move on and find newjobs. but there is hope. i wa nt to find newjobs. but there is hope. i want to stress that. because our own

data also shows that month on month, job numbers have increased by 9%. at the figures reported this morning to report back to may, that is six weeks ago now so there is some hope and things are improving. when you say that your figures are increasing, which sectors, where are they increasing? good question. interestingly, the fastest growing sectors are areas like sales now, transport and logistics. it does suggest the economy is beginning to get back on its feet. has also been a lot of growth in education and obviously health care in recent months. there is a broad range of opportunities available for people a lot morejobs that opportunities available for people a lot more jobs that involve working from home and jobs that are advertised for immediate start so i would urge people to look at them. asa would urge people to look at them. as a recruitment boss, tell me how you would advise somebody now who has either been furloughed or made redundant. we heard from people there who talked about the devastation of this has had to ponder even being furloughed, if

companies have taken it on board to be part of that scheme, if you are someone be part of that scheme, if you are someone who is not working at the moment and hasn't done for four months, your confidence goes, your ability to be part of and have that enthusiasm for work and determination, it can slip. how should you think about things when you are reapplying forjobs as the economy hopefully does pick up?m you are furloughed i would suggest two things, to try to keep in touch with your employer and so you want to come back, ask when you can be coming back and ask to be reactivated, so to speak put it is important to keep engaged. also there was an opportunity to find new skills, to up skill and learn new things and there was an incredible amount of courses available online for free, amount of courses available online forfree, or at very low amount of courses available online for free, or at very low cost and we have seen a lot of people taking up those courses. it is an opportunity to learn new skills and get new qualifications and improve your cv

for when you go back into the labour market. james reed, nice to have some positivity around the future of the employment market! q, chairman of reed recruitment. —— thank you. some growth in some areas, sales and transport and logistic and perhaps education are places to look at. some of the uk's top chefs have launched a campaign against so—called ‘no—shows' — where customers book tables in restaurants and then fail to show up without cancelling. have you ever done that? it's just rude! it comes after tom kerridge branded them "selfish and disgraceful" and warned it could mean some restauraunts are forced to close. there's been plenty of response to the campaign online — with several uk restaurants and bars weighing in. the black pig wine bar in kinsale, ireland described it as "devastating." they said there were 10 no—shows at their restaurant last night after a weekend which they called "full of em pty ta bles because people didn't show".

bread and pullet in northampton says "a phone call is all it takes" and said the problem with no—shows further adds to their stress over reduced capacities because of the covid—19 pandemic. hood in streatham, south london says they have been forced to introduce a deposit policy, where they take customers' credit card details at the time of booking, and that they've already used it twice. joining us now are antonia lallement co—founder of the no more no shows campaign, and nolan regent, who runs a restaurant in south—east london. good morning to you. nolan, can i check what has happened? give us an average night and how it is affecting you? on an average night,

we are a small independent restau ra nt we are a small independent restaurant and we would do on average about 20—30 people. and obviously with social distancing, we have had to reduce our capacity which means, and a lot of people are still scared to dine out and we get about 4—6 tables on average. last tuesday, basically, no one turned up. so they had called up or online, taken the up. so they had called up or online, ta ken the trouble up. so they had called up or online, taken the trouble to book, and what does it mean for you and your business? it is fairly obvious you have no revenue. it's a very difficult time. that day on tuesday it was bastille day and being a french restaurant, last year we would have been packed. to be fair, it isa would have been packed. to be fair, it is a tuesday, but we had four bookings and not a single one turned up. can ijust check, nolan,

presumably they have handed over at the details of who they are. do you follow it up? we do but it doesn't stop them from giving a fake name to reserve at another time. it is interesting, antonia, because we gave the example of restaurants you had no—shows and there was one in streatham who said they would take credit card details and a deposit because their livelihoods are being put at risk. is that what restaurant need to do, it needs to be the new normal? it's difficult. for us, we don't want to make it difficult for guests, any blocks to stop people coming to the restaurant and sometimes it can be admin heavy and you have to have the tech to do deposits. it does not work for everyone unfortunately. i think there are other things you can do, a change of mind in customer mindset would be so beneficial for everyone.

i don't understand why it wouldn't work. we have to book restaurants now, we can't just work. we have to book restaurants now, we can'tjust turn up on the off chance so, if you are booking, the commitment is there. definitely, we always take advance bookings but it depends on the type of restaurant. for example, for our business, it is quite spontaneous, people might be passing and think, we want a plate of pasta, you book a table or pull in whereas it is a destination dining place like a countryside pub or whatever, we don't mind planning that in advance and giving credit card details. a lot of time, a lot of the booking syste m lot of time, a lot of the booking system in place do not support that functionality. at the moment especially, it is a lot of manpower to change those systems over so it is not always possible for people to do. it is definitely a solution and something that would work if everyone was able to do it but i think the onus needs to be on the

gas as well and a bit more understanding to stop the problem from happening in the first place —— on the guests. would that system not work with you, a deposit, that you can't afford to trust your customers to turn up? we only take deposits on a special evenings like christmas day, new year's eve, valentines, and even then it is a struggle but to do it on even then it is a struggle but to do itona even then it is a struggle but to do it on a regular night, it's very difficult. to put a system in place to do it. is it you who plays the piano? no! we are ajazz to do it. is it you who plays the piano? no! we are a jazz venue and we put on shows so somebody coming here could come and listen to a live jazz show. hopefully people do decide to book and then turn up because it is as they have a big impact upon thank you to you both. they are behind the no more shows campaign which you can find online.

far north of scotland now, in the western areas cloud still thick enough for some patchy, light rain or drizzle, not a desperately soggy day by any means. it will turn better towards the north west of scotla nd better towards the north west of scotland this afternoon, around the hebrides in particular. much of scotla nd hebrides in particular. much of scotland dry, cloudy and cool in the west, sunshine to the s, could hit 24 in aberdeen. sunny breaks developing across northern ireland, sunshine in places across northern england, some breaks appearing elsewhere. under cloud, feeling reasonably warm, sunshine will see temperatures reaching 24 degrees. this evening and overnight, the rain heavier across the highlands, edging southwards through argyll and bute. also northern ireland. to the south, most also northern ireland. to the south, m ost pla ces also northern ireland. to the south, most places dry, partly cloudy, and for all, temperatures in double figures. sitting around the mid teens, taking us into tomorrow. like this morning, another very mild

start, slightly muggy feeling across england and wales, outbreaks of rain in northern ireland, south—west scotland, pushing into the isle of man, the north of england, scotland and northern ireland brightening through the day, kohler here compared with today. warm enough when the sun comes out. england and wales, the midlands, southwards, the sunshine hi here, temperatures could hit 27 degrees. 10 degrees cooler for some in the north. the cooler air moving south into saturday, whether front slowly shifting southwards, starting saturday grey, drizzly, damp in northern england, north and west wales, could stay that way in wales throughout the day. damp in the midlands, in the south—east, dry with sunny spells, temperatures into the mid 20s. northern england into scotland, northern england into scotland, northern ireland, more sunshine developing, one or two showers, temperatures in the high teens.

fresh air pushing south behind this weather front into sunday, the weather front into sunday, the weather front into sunday, the weather front lingering in the south—east, we think at this stage early sunday it will clear through long, sunny spells developing. a few showers in the north of scotland, temperatures in the teens, feeling fairly pleasant. that is your forecast. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. good morning to you. it is just after half past eight and thank you for joining after half past eight and thank you forjoining us. signing shirts, leavers' assembelies and hugs all round — those are just some of the ways year six pupils would usually celebrate their last days of primary school. sadly for the class of 2020 lockdown has ruled out most of their celebrations this year. but that doesn't mean they still can't celebrate in style. they've just had to be a bit more creative. let's take a look. faiza! cheering.

they've put so much work into the school, right from nursery, all the way to year six, so it was so important to have the time to say goodbye and give them the chance to say goodbye to friends and staff but obviously, in a safe way. that was really important for us to give them that goodbye today, the chance to say thank you from the head, the staff, the governors and give them the sendoff they deserve. believe in yourself, keep focusing on your future because there is hope and don't lose hope, times will get better. and we'll come out the other side and they'll be stronger for it and they'll lead us into better times. i really do believe that.

what vigour do you see as the most significant in amongst what is a relatively confusing picture in some ways. some bits of this, the actual employment number, appears not to have changed, the percentage. what do you see is the significant bits? i think that's absolutely right. we do need to be looking very carefully at the statistics and not drawing to larger conclusion from them. i think it's interesting and concerning they reveal quite a major reduction in people actually on payroll so the reduction of two thirds of a million people, gone down over recent months, people actually on the payroll. that is concerning. we seem to also see figures that economic inactivity has gone up, that might be an explanation for why we are not seen be an explanation for why we are not seen changes in the claimant count that might have been anticipated. as you suggest, we need to be quite

careful in not drawing too many conclusions from the statistics. the statistic, this is people, i'm a lwa ys statistic, this is people, i'm always wary of saying statistics, these are people, jobs. employees on these are people, jobs. employees on the payrolls are down, fewer, 649,000 people. that is whichever way you look at it, however you read that, that is people who are not earning money. absolutely, yes, quite, and that is very concerning. it's in line with other forms of statistics that we have seen which suggest there has been that reduction in people on payroll, also reductions in the hours that people are working and of course, reductions in people's incomes as well. people have gone on to social security, they see a radical reduction in their income in most cases, but people who have seen

their hours reduced and a subsequent reduction in income. it's a significant time for a very large numberof significant time for a very large number of people. we spoke to the business secretary alok sharma earlier and his phrase was the government will wrap their arms around people who are struggling. the reality is this is unprecedented circumstances. the government is having to deal with that. what would you have them do differently come immediately? we have sought to work constructively with government, obviously, this is a time of national crisis. we have been calling on government for example to provide more support to young unemployed workers, particularly challenging for many of them because they don't have that history of work experience, etc. we were calling for a scheme like the kick—start scheme that the government announced last week, similar schemes in place and whereas, for example, with the labour government there. we need to make sure that doesn't substitute older people's work younger people but it's really good that they

the government has done that, the question is what would you like them to do that they haven't done? we do wa nt to do that they haven't done? we do want to give credit where credit is due but where they haven't acted, as you rightly say, we do need change and we would argue that in particular, having this one size fits all approach to withdrawing the job retention scheme and the self—employed scheme is not sensible at this time. we see the impact of this crisis very, very strongly on different sectors, removing support from them at the same rate as from sectors that are already back to capacity doesn't make sense. it means there will be additional waves of unemployment in the future unless government changes tack and offers more targeted support. can you be more targeted support. can you be more specific for us, can you give us one group of people for whom you think extending, i think you are talking about extending the furlough scheme, so who would that be, which people, how long? yes, we do think

government should be looking at making that furlough scheme, the job retention scheme, more focused on those sectors that are particularly struggling stop there are parts of our economy which are still not able to fully open, as we all know. whether it's gymnasiums, particular types of beauty treatments, others still not up to capacity. and won't be in the foreseeable future, so we have said to government, we don't think the job retention scheme, the furlough scheme, should be kept as is in perpetuity but however we do think a more targeted approach, backfilling wages for those affected sectors, is really needed. this is what other countries are doing in many cases. they are saying there needs to be a more pragmatic approach, not switching off the support at exactly the same time for everyone. making sure, where there are sectors of the economy for capacity needs to be retained,

support is there. the government is relu cta nt to support is there. the government is reluctant to talk about what they think the unemployment figure may be. they say it's not useful or helpful to look ahead to that. but we know 9 million people currently are part of the furlough scheme. how many of those jobs do you think in reality still exist? well, we know the office for budget responsibility, the watchdog for public finances, that's in the report, they said in their report and suggested we could see a reduction of about 1.4 millionjobs not cove red by reduction of about 1.4 millionjobs not covered by the job retention scheme, that'sjobs not covered by the job retention scheme, that's jobs rather than individuals. it could potentially cover some people undertaking more than one job, that's covered by the job retention scheme. but it seems to be likely unless we see a drift away from the one size fits all approach to removing the scheme and requiring employer contributions, we

will see extra waves of unemployment coming through. we've already seen some over recent days which appear to be related to the initial change to be related to the initial change to the employer contribution covering national insurance etc, that's already started to happen. we think that's a warning signal that government needs to change course. anneliese dodds, the shadow chancellor, thank you. it's 14 minutes to nine. time to talk to mike bushell. good morning. something we've learnt, during this pandemic, all the new rules that we have to stick to, processes, once upona time, have to stick to, processes, once upon a time, there were so many things you didn't have to think about. when you don't think about those things, the effects can be pretty brutal? good morning, yes indeed. it is a new world, take some getting used to. we have this breaking cricket news. england'sjofra archer has been excluded from the team to take on the west indies in the second

test which starts this morning — for breaching bio secure protocols. the bowler will now be in self—isolation for five days and undergo two covid—19 tests before he can rejoin the squad. the match at emirates old trafford is a bio secure venue with hotel on site, meaning the players live on site, but archer has broken the rules. the west indies team say they're satisfied the right safety meausres have been followed. well, archer has said this.

so, a blow to the england news. —— the england team. liverpool boss jurgen klopp, says he was "disappointed and angry" as the premier league champions lost at arsenal. it means they can't break the record, for most points in a season. they were ahead before a mistake from captain, virgilvan dike, let in, alexander lacazette to equalise for arsenal. and then, more poor defending, helped reiss nelson score the winner, a minute before half time — meaning liverpool can't pass manchester city's record of 100 points this season. very, very disappointed. records, look, it's just, 93 very, very disappointed. records, look, it'sjust, 93 points, it's incredible, but the boys, you don't think about it, we wanted to win this game today, i saw that. but you cannot win a game in the premier league when you take a five minute

break! the bournemouth manager eddie howe, admits he's "devastated" by their 2—1 defeat at manchester city. david silva with the pick of city's goals. bournemouth put up a real fight. but it leaves them, three points from safety, with two games to go. "incredible". that's how tottenham boss, jose mourinho described harry kane, as he passed the 200 goal mark, at club level, with two more at newcastle. spurs won 3—1 taking them up to seventh. and spurs are nowjust a point behind wolves — after they were held, to a i—all draw at burnley. that's despite, rauljiminez, putting them ahead. however burnley were given a injury time penalty, which chris wood scored.

so much to be decided over the next ten days. leeds playing tonight, at home to barnsley. mike, thank you. it's now ten to nine. when the pandemic rapidly escalated in march, filming for all television dramas came grinding to a halt — repeats have been rolling and many have been waiting for a new series to hit their screens. last week saw the return of ‘there she goes' — the series, based on true events, follows the story of a family raising a daughter with a very rare, and undiagnosed learning disability — let's take a look. rosie screams. all right, rosie, the big park's this way. come on. no, no. come on. we are going to the park. it'll be fun. rosie screams. what's that? phone rings. hello. hi, you know that noise donald sutherland makes at the end of the invasion of the body snatchers. rosie squeals.

wow. what does she want? i don't know. she's just dragging me to the garden centre on the high street. the garden centre, where we bought our christmas tree. do you want a christmas tree? rosie squeals excitedly. i don't have any christmas trees. rosie. excuse me, sorry. do you have any christmas trees? i can check. but i'm pretty sure we don't. it's february. yeah, yeah. he doesn't have any christmas trees. i've got to go. all right, come on. let's go to the park for a nice walk. the telling of what parents are dealing with, especially with children who have learning difficulties. david tennantjoins us now.

david, hello, how are you. hello. how are you guys doing? i'm looking at your background there, is that your choice? well, you get to see every corner of our house during lockdown, we have to choose the background very carefully. we will come to that in a moment, we have been seeing your house, but there she goes, we've just seen a clip, i've seen a few of the latest episodes, there is humour in it as well as a wariness and an exhaustion that the parents, and their son, deal with. there is a lot of comedy in it as well, i suppose that must have been important to inject, especially if this is based on a true story? it's absolutely based on a true story. sean, who i play, is a comedy writer. he and his wife sarah, it's their life. they've written it down. their life is full

of difficulties, full of stresses and strains but it's very funny. they are very funny, that's how life occurs to them. but it doesn't pull any punches. it's defined as a comedy, i suppose, any punches. it's defined as a comedy, isuppose, it's any punches. it's defined as a comedy, i suppose, it's 30 any punches. it's defined as a comedy, isuppose, it's 30 minutes long, there are funny bits in it. but we are not striving for gaps. we are telling the story of this particular family's experiences. david, it's charlie here. one of the thing is, anyone who has seen it, your characters, there are things he says which are quite hard to hear, to be honest. it's his way of dealing with it, it's his humour. it's his way of processing things. and i think a lot of people watching that will completely understand that that will completely understand that thatis that will completely understand that that is a means by which some people have to deal with things? they have to make a joke out of everything and sometimes deeply inappropriately.

deeply inappropriately, yes, it's deeply politically incorrect at times. but because we are telling the story of a particular family and how this family deals with it, sean and sarah are at pains to point out they had been imperfect parents at times, especially shown, the character i play. a lot of the series has been about how he's come to terms with being a parent at all, but particularly the parent of a child with these very particular challenges and he would be the first to admit he did not always deal with it particularly heroically. and that, i think, it particularly heroically. and that, ithink, is it particularly heroically. and that, i think, is the strength of the series, it's the absolute honesty of how it is to have a child with all these challenges. i think we can often, i think, betrayals of that historically and television have been rather sentimental and that's not the case with this. you can absolutely see this family love each other and care for each other very deeply and have a very special bond but we don't shy away from showing particularly, in rosie ‘s

early life, sean, my character, struggled with what that meant. worth explaining, in the series you jump worth explaining, in the series you jump between the early days of the family trying to grasp what is going on, lateron, when family trying to grasp what is going on, later on, when there are other struggles, but they know a little bit more. exactly, it nips back and forward in time and shows how the family has developed, how things have moved on, how they haven't moved on stop the first series, i think it will be on bbc four, and then on the iplayer, you can watch it all, the first series, before rosie is born, taking you through from discovering, maybe she had some problems that were undiagnosed, the slow realisation as a family they we re slow realisation as a family they were going to have to reprogram everything about what they were expecting of the newborn baby. it's on tonight, bbc two, tenjamming at 9:30pm but i want to talk to you about staged. i nearly fell off my sofa just laughing at it last night.

and there is a brilliant, let me tell everyone, what it's about, you and michael sheen, you're supposed to be working on a project together. you can't rehearse in the theatre, the director says can you rehearse across as a chat, you are both in your homes, we started this interview with you saying you get to see my home, my family but how was that? was it filmed in real time? are all the bits in there or is it quite heavily edited? well, it's edited but it was filmed, we found that over laptops, like i'm talking to you now. certainly, the stuff with me and michael, he is in wales, iam stuff with me and michael, he is in wales, i am in london, stuff with me and michael, he is in wales, iam in london, some stuff with me and michael, he is in wales, i am in london, some the director, he is in the middle of the countryside somewhere! although scenes between the three of us, and indeed some of the other guests who drop in on us as the series progresses, were all from everybody ‘s own home. we are all stuck in the same situation but trying to tell

away —— find a way to tell a story using vocabulary of current life. cani using vocabulary of current life. can i ask you about the third episode, i won't give anything away, it is very upward, you are caught out being duplicitous. have you ever been caught out being duplicitous and how have you dealt with it? never, never, never extremism are certainly not in the way it's portrayed in episode three! i am saying nothing more than that. —— never, never, never! david, tell us about lockdown for you. i know things have eased to you but at its height, how are things in your household was to mark we are lucky, we have space, we have quite a lot of children, we have quite a full house, but we have a garden they can run around in and that made all the difference for us. home-schooling was challenging. what were you in charge of? obviously, my wife,

georgia, was ultimately in charge because she's better at organising things than i am! but between us, we would sort of wrestle one child into a corner. the thing is you very quickly realise the gaps in your own knowledge. it's not just quickly realise the gaps in your own knowledge. it's notjust how do i do long division but it's how do they teach it now because it's all change? you have to try and think yourself into the way of how you now are supposed to first of all you have to figure out how to do it at all and then figure out how to teach it in the way they teach it now. i've always respected teachers for what they do but my goodness, i'm glad they exist. you describe it, so many people listening to you think i know, i know exactly what you are talking about. lovely to speak to this morning, the series, as you it, very funny, but it's searing at times. makes you stop and think. thank you very much. i would

heartily recommend it, it's not like anything else. nice to see you. ‘there she goes' is on bbc two tonight at 9:30pm that's all from us this morning. we'll be back tomorrow from 6. have a lovely day.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines... the economic impact of coronavirus — the number of uk workers on payrolls falls by nearly two thirds of a million since before the lockdown. a result of the support the government has provided, £160 billion worth of support throughout this pandemic, we have also supported 9.4 million jobs through the furloughed scheme. nearly a third of uk businesses expect to cutjobs in the next three months — the highest figure ever recorded by the british chambers of commerce. if you've been affected or think you might soon be, do get in touch, on twitter @annita—mcveigh
