twitter apologises and promises to act. new guidance in scotland says pupils won't have to physically distance when schools return in august, but teachers will. and england bowlerjofra archer is dropped from the team for the second test against the west indies for breaching coronavirus rules. and coming up in sport on bbc news: staying put — england captain 0wen farrell will remain at saracens despite their relegation from the premiership for breaking salary cap rules. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. shamima begum, the woman who ran off to syria to join the islamic state group whilst a schoolgirl in east london, has won a legal

battle to return to the uk to challenge the loss of her citizenship. shamima begum travelled to syria five years ago and lived under is rule for more than three years before she was found, nine months pregnant, in a refugee camp in february last year. daniel sandford reports. this was shamima begum when she first re—emerged last year, having gone tojoin the first re—emerged last year, having gone to join the islamic state group aged just 15 with two of her east london school friends. when the bbc interviewed her, is had just lost its last bit of territory in syria and she was asking to come back to britain. ijust want and she was asking to come back to britain. i just want forgiveness, really, from the uk. everything i've been through, i didn't expect i would go through that. losing my children the way i lost them... she was ina children the way i lost them... she

was in a camp for swimming in north—east syria. to prevent her returning to britain, then home secretary, sajid javid, took her british citizenship away, leaving her stranded. a decision she had been fighting from a second camp, camp roj, but the appeal court said today she should be allowed to come today she should be allowed to come to the uk, meet her lawyers and fight her case in person. lord justice flaux said, while she remains detained in the camp she can't give effective instructions or ta ke can't give effective instructions or take any meaningful part in her appeal. the only way in which she can have a fair and effective appeal is to be permitted to come into the uk to pursue her appeal. fairness and justice must, on the facts of this case, outweigh the national security concerns. the home office immediately said it would ask for permission to appeal what it called a very disappointing decision. for now, shamima begum will not be allowed into britain. she left the uk in february 2015 with two school friends from bethnal green academy.

they travelled through turkey to is territory in syria, where they married fighters. shamima begum's father in bangladesh has told the bbc by phone that he was delighted and that he welcomed today's court decision, but the legal process is not over yet so, for now, shamima begum remains in camp roj in north—east syria. and danieljoins me now. what happens next? immediately, nothing, because the home office has this period in which to ask for a permission to appeal to the supreme court and, if they get any success in doing that, there will ask that no decisions of this court should be enacted until that appeal has been heard, so it's quite possible, if they are given permission to appeal to the supreme court, that nothing will happen. if they are not given

permission, in theory, it has to be possible for shamima begum to enter the uk, but the court says nothing about how she should get to the uk, so about how she should get to the uk, so somebody would have to try and make arrangements for her to travel from this camp in north—east syria to the uk, and clearly the british government isn't necessarily going to assist with that, so i think it's a long, slow process of either further legal argument or the process of trying to get her back to britain stop what the judges have said today is, in orderfor the decision to be made properly about whether she should have her british citizenship taken away, she needs to be here and able to talk to her lawyers, because at the moment she can't even communicate by phone or video link from where she is in syria. new figures have revealed further evidence of the grim impact of the lockdown on jobs. they show that 649,000 people were removed from uk company payrolls between march and june. the number of people claiming work—related benefits, including the unemployed, was 2.6 million.

economists warn that the full effect of the crisis on jobs won't be felt until the furlough scheme ends in october, as our economics correspondent, andy verity, reports. somejob cuts in some job cuts in the last three months have made headlines, but many morejobs have gone months have made headlines, but many more jobs have gone from months have made headlines, but many morejobs have gone from less months have made headlines, but many more jobs have gone from less famous names. 649,000 fewer people on employers' payrolls is a statistic but, for each person, like phil and danielle, it's a heavy blow financially and emotionally.” danielle, it's a heavy blow financially and emotionally. i was devastated. i was absolutely devastated. i was absolutely devastated. i was absolutely devastated. i do feel a sense of shame, ina 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. daniel had got herfirstjob in november to digital marketing company but got made redundant two weeks ago. she has applied for 50 jobs had only two responses. redundancy was the last thing on my mind. ithought redundancy was the last thing on my

mind. i thought i'd redundancy was the last thing on my mind. ithought i'd be placed redundancy was the last thing on my mind. i thought i'd be placed on furlough and, when things started to settle, i'd eventually go back to work. phil lost his job as a pilot and trainer in march when his airline, flybe, went bust. and trainer in march when his airline, flybe, went bustlj and trainer in march when his airline, flybe, went bust. i wish i knew what i could do now. my plan basically is to look at anything that i can do. i tried to call a recruitment agency and i couldn't get through. citizens advice has been taking a call about redundancy every two minutes. we are seeing a lot of people who have been in one shop for a very long time, 30 or 40 yea rs, shop for a very long time, 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's very daunting. today the biggest survey of its kind revealed 29% of companies are planning to shed staff in the next three months, the highest figure on record, and 28% have shrunk their workforce in the last three months.

moore is going to have to be done to help businesses keep people in employment. would like to see the government look again at cutting employers' national insurance contributions. that way, they would be cutting the upfront costs businesses face and allowing them to pay their people rather than the taxman during what will be a difficult few months ahead. is the number ofjobs difficult few months ahead. is the number of jobs being shed difficult few months ahead. is the number ofjobs being shed doesn't show up in the officialjobless count, which wasn't designed with a pandemic in mind. the survey the figures comes from asks if you are actively seeking work and if you are available for work and, if you a nswered available for work and, if you answered no to either question, you are not classified as unemployment. if you lost your job are not classified as unemployment. if you lost yourjob in april or may, you may well have said no, i'm not available, because the government instructed everyone to stay at home. you could have lost yourjob but still not be classified as unemployed. today, labour criticised the government for taking a blanket approach rather than targeting the worst affected sectors. the governance of the best thing was to continue to open up the economy to get business up and

running for phil and danielle, meanwhile, they are looking for work ata time meanwhile, they are looking for work at a time when vacancies have hit a record low. the social media company twitter has apologised and promised to take "significant steps" after the accounts of some of the most famous people in the world were hacked. among the victims were the us presidential contenderjoe biden, amazon's boss, jeff bezos, and former president barack 0bama. they all found their accounts were made to post bogus offers promising a doubling of payments to anyone sending in $1,000 in the cryptocurrency bitcoin. rory cellanjones reports. at first, it seemed that the tesla tycoon elon musk and a couple of other prominent twitter users had been hacked. after all, a tweet from his account asking people to send him some of the bitcoin cryptocurrency was an obvious scam. then, as similar messages requesting donations were tweeted by the accounts of barack 0bama, joe biden, kanye west and many others, it rapidly became clear that the security of twitter itself

had been compromised. whether the aim was to make money orjust mischief isn't clear. this wasn't about fraud, i don't think. i think it was more about doing the hack. but they received, i believe, over about $110,000 in their accounts, so people actually believed this hack, unfortunately. but it was very noisy. in the hacker community, we actually call this type of hack a little bit lame. twitter‘s boss jack dorsey said it was a tough day. "we all feel terrible this happened." then the company revealed that employees had been tricked by the hackers. twitter says a technique called social engineering was used. this could mean for instance that an e—mail arrived appearing to come from their boss and the employees handed over the keys to the entire system. there is also speculation that the fact that so many staff were working from home made them more vulnerable. now, though, the reputation

of a platform where politicians and celebrities are told that nobody can steal their identity has taken a major hit. this compromises the entire verified system on twitter. this is the public figures with the blue tick next to their name. if they could take control of any of those with this hack or this access that they had, they could have done untold damage on the platform. it is hugely embarrassing for twitter. president trump was one prominent figure not caught up in this hacking scandal, but with the us election approaching, twitter knows it must shore up its defences to avoid the risk that it could cause major damage to the democratic process. rory cellanjones, bbc news. in the last few minutes the government has announced that it's "almost certain" that what it called russian actors sought to interfere in last year's general election. a statement released by the foreign secretary dominic raab said the interference took the form of "online amplification of illicitly acquired and leaked

government documents". 0ur assistant political editor norman smith is in westminster. tell us more. we've had plenty of claims and allegations of russian involvement in british politics. now we seem to have proof, with extraordinary claims that russian interests, agents, spies, spooks, we don't know, interfered in the last election. you may remember, during the campaign, much was made of lea ked the campaign, much was made of leaked documents citing the sort of initial trade talks, post brexit talks between britain and america, where it was suggested the nhs might be on the table in the talks, and us pharmaceutical companies might be able to rack up prices for the nhs, and presumably this would be designed to embarrass the government or damaged relations between britain and america. well, this lunchtime, dominic raab has clearly pointed the finger of blame at russia. he said,

and let me read you, it is almost certain that russian actors sought to interfere in the 2019 general election through the online amplification of illicitly acquired and leaked government documents. he doesn't point the finger of blame directly at president putin. he says there is no evidence of a broad spectrum russian campaign in the general election forced up but bear in mind this comes as tension has been moving to the threat from china and the possible moves by the chinese to gain a foothold in britain. perhaps we should keep our focus on russia, at all this, of course, just days before we learn that there is to be published, at long last, that report by the security committee into russian involvement in the last general election. norman smith, many thanks.

a group of scientists, including 15 nobel laureates and other prominent figures, are calling for volunteers to be deliberately exposed to coronavirus after receiving a vaccine, to see if it offers protection. let's speak to our medical correspondent, fergus walsh. the race is on globally for a vaccine. where are we at the moment with trials? well, there is an astonishing 23 coronavirus vaccines that are now in the clinic, and another 140 in early development. in the space ofjust eight months. some of the frontrunners are the oxford university vaccine. we've also got vaccines in the us by company moderne and gentex, pfizer. all of those have either given results in the last few days or are about to give results and, in each case, it looks like they give a good immune response to volunteers. that is promising, but it doesn't tell us in

the real world what will happen when those volunteers are exposed to coronavirus and, for that, we are in the lap of the gods and in the hands of the virus for those volunteers to come across and see if they are protected. that's why this group of scientists, including 15 nobel laureates, is said, why don't we ta ke laureates, is said, why don't we take some volunteers, young, fit, 20—year—olds, deliberately infect them after giving them the vaccine and see whether or not it protects them? that could short cut everything. it is done with other trials. our medical correspondent, fergus walsh. the city of leicester will learn today whether its local lockdown is to be extended. the city has been subject to stricter coronavirus rules than the rest of england for more than two weeks because of a spike in cases. the city council says the figures are now coming down, and people in the city are urging the government to ease the restrictions, as phil mackie reports.

# i'm locked down in leicester # i must say i'm feeling the pressure # why do they find it hard to accept # this virus needs to get better. # queen millz is a leicester—based singer. the city's vibrant music scene is on hold because there's nowhere open and it's a city which has one of the youngest populations in the uk. she says her generation is really suffering. absolutely horrible, like, everyone was so ready for pubs to open and everyone to go and see their friends and family and socialise, and then itjust got, like, everyone's dreams just got crushed and, like, it was probably really disheartening for a lot of people. in areas where confirmed cases are still high, volunteers are going door—to—door with covid tests. so we're here on behalf of the nhs and leicester city council today with some covid testing home kits. the more cases that can be detected the sooner the outbreak can be controlled. you're shielding at the moment. are you concerned about the number of cases there have been in this part of leicester?

oh yeah, of course, very much so, because we are all locked down now and we can't do anything. and are you pleased they are coming around like this, door—to—door, to give people tests so that they can find out? well, it's great, it's fantastic, i think. they are coming out and covering an area which is much better. the economic impact on the city is plain to see. other high streets are coming back to life. leicester is back in hibernation. pre—lockdown the lanes in leicester would have been really, really busy, but with nobody in the city centre no one is coming out to the shops, so even places like this, which were really popular for a coffee and a cake, or a samosa, have now been forced to shut down for good. it's a gloomy outlook even away from the city. these are all business owners from glenfield, a village on the outskirts. they've hardly had any cases here. even if lockdown is extended in leicester, they want their restrictions eased. let's be honest, not everybody is following the lockdown rules.

people are crossing the border and they're going to towns that they know around glenfield that are actually open to the public and that business in some cases, many cases in fact, never actually comes back. # eh, eh, i'm locked down in leicester # i must say, i'm feeling the pressure. # the latest data is being analysed and later we expect a decision on whether to extend, amend or end leicester's lockdown. # free us up, they can't lock us down. # phil mackie, bbc news, leicester. yeah, man. our top story this lunchtime: judges ruled a woman who went to syria as a schoolgirl to join the islamic state group should be allowed to return to the uk to challenge the removal of her british citizenship. and coming up — scientists have revealed the closest images ever taken of the sun. coming up in sport on bbc news: british gymnastics says it's stepping aside to allow an independent review into allegations of bullying

and abuse, to remove any doubt over the integrity of the process. a memorial service has been held to pay tribute to the victims of coronavirus in greater manchester. only 70 people were allowed to attend the inter—faith service at manchester cathedral and it was streamed online. the greater manchester mayor andy burnham said it was time to remember the lives lost but also to mark the special spirit of the people. luxmy gopal has more. let us pray to god, who alone makes us let us pray to god, who alone makes us dwell in safety. prayers, readings and messages that the service for those of all faiths and na ntes service for those of all faiths and nantes are a number the more than 2900 people in greater manchester who have died from covid—19. today's service was a recognition that grieving families not only lost loved ones to coronavirus but also lost the chance to mourn them

properly because of social distancing, like tony, who lost his wife ann to the virus. distancing, like tony, who lost his wife arm to the virus. when i saw ann's picture on the screen that got to me and i went and touched the face on the screen, cried a little bit but the actual service was really nice and a fitting gesture for ann, she didn't deserve to go in the way she did. that's why we're so grateful for creating an online space, a book of remembrance, so that each person can be remembered asa that each person can be remembered as a person and not as a statistic. the service was streamed online so that everybody could be part of it and an online book of remembrance has been launched as a permanent tribute to remember those who have lost their lives. among the 70 guests at the service were health workers who have lost so many of their own to covid—19 while serving on the nhs front line. their own to covid—19 while serving on the nhs front linelj their own to covid—19 while serving on the nhs front line. i think it's offered some closure. we've been holding memorial services at our

hospital over the last month but i feel like this has brought everything together for the organisation, so i find that it's really made me feel really honoured us really made me feel really honoured us well to have been able to provide the care that i did. we are a grieving world, a grieving city and we hope that this little offering to out we hope that this little offering to our community in greater manchester will be a sign of hope, a bite—size, if you like, in small measure, but we hope that this will make a difference to you spiritually, emotionally and otherwise. in coming together it was a way of bringing if not closure then at least some comfort to bereaved families. luxmy gopal, bbc news. pupils in scotland will not have to physically distance when schools return in august, but teachers will — that's according

to new scottish government guidance. let's get more from lorna gordon in glasgow. what's the thinking behind this? the scottish government advisory papers state that the balance of evidence suggests that the two meet a requirement won't be necessary between school—aged children when schools return here in scotland in less tha n schools return here in scotland in less than four weeks' time. they point to the fact that 151 of the 18,000 plus confirmed coronavirus cases here in scotland have been amongst children under 15 and the advisory papers also state that the role of the children in the transmission of the virus appears to be limited both between children and from children to adults. scotland boss mike education secretary said this new advice is all predicated on coronavirus infection rates remaining low. this advice remains conditional on general community factors such as reductions in infection rates, confidence in surveillance measures and a process for handling local outbreaks, all of which will be informed by the advice of the covid—19

advisory group on education and children's issues. the advice we have now received, however, sets out that no physical as long as infection remakes remain low there will be no requirement for physical distancing for children on school buses. it's a different matter for teachers and staff, the advices they'll have to stay two metres from each other and they'll have to put on face coverings if they come into contact with children. lorna many thanks. one of the consequences of lockdown has been that many children are spending a lot more time online. that's led to fears that they are becoming vulnerable to abuse. according to the internet watch foundation, reports of child abuse images online in the uk increased by almost 50% compared to last year. 0ur education editor, branwenjeffreys, has this report. during lockdown, screen time 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, they let me or their dad, or if they're with grandparents at the time, they let them know straight away so we can help them deal with it. but they do know how to report people, they do know how to block people on these things. 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 to 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. so our message at the nspcc to government 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 that 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 consideredly, if you like, that by introducing well—meaning regulation, we're not also creating something of a chilling effect, particularly for young people. our digital lives are here to stay, keeping us connected and entertained. all the more reason to give them the skills to stay safe. branwen jeffreys, bbc news. if you would like more information and advice on how to remain safe online,

old trafford, but that was the least of england's problems in an extraordinary early morning twist. after playing in the first test in southampton, jofra archer, it emerged, had stopped off at his home in brighton. the players were supposed to drive straight to manchester to preserve the bio—security that's been the key to this series taking place. when his detour came to light last night, archer was excluded from the team and told to isolate for five days. he said in a statement he was extremely sorry for what he'd done. "i have put not only myself but the whole team and management "in danger", he added. "i fully accept the consequences of my actions and i want "to sincerely apologise to everyone in the bio—secure bubble." it's a selfish decision that he made. you look at what the west indies have sacrificed to come over here. they've arrived from the caribbean onjune the 8th. they've come to a country that's been hit by covid more than many other countries around the world. players are meant to stay cocooned from the outside world in this series. it's behind closed doors, remember, so archer's drive home

has raised questions. why weren't the players transported by bus, all together, and then you know that everything's fine? the bus re—fuels or whatever it is on the way up and there's some sort of facilities laid on for them to go to the toilet if they want to, but all of this level of security, why the players were allowed to drive themselves... i do find ita bit surprising, if i'm honest. england were eventually put in to bat but, before they did so, both teams took a knee, once again united against racism. already 1—0 down in the series, england needed a good start, and the west indies did their best to help. shannon gabriel with the widest of wides. after such a troubled build—up, england will not mind a little more of this. andy swiss, bbc news. scientists have revealed the closest images ever taken of the sun, which show mini solar flares, called "campfires", dotted across its surface. the pictures were captured by the

uk—built solar 0rbiter spacecraft. our global science correspondent, rebecca morelle, has more. a remarkable view of the sun. its fiery surface revealed in extraordinary detail. these images were taken from closer to our star than ever before. seeing these images for the first time was breathtaking. you know, we knew they would be good but, actually, ithink they beat our expectations. and, when we look at the sun, in these images we are able to see explosions happening all throughout the sun's atmosphere, and we weren't expecting to see that. that's the beauty of it, finding new things for the first time, seeing the sun in a new way, in a way we couldn't have imagined. the spacecraft, called solar 0rbiter, blasted off into space in february. built in the uk, it's designed to withstand extremes. on its sun facing side, temperatures can reach more than 500 celsius. getting a close view of our star will help us understand what's known

as space weather, where huge solar storms can knock out navigation and communication satellites and cause power failures here on earth. solar 0rbiter‘s journey isjust beginning. now it will start to fly even closer to the sun.
