surpassed a quarter of a million. the biggest increases are in south africa, india, brazil and the usa where there are now approximately 71,000 new cases per day. 41 states out of 50 are seeing an increase but the biggest rises are in southern and western states like here in california, also arizona, texas, and florida, which, eh few days ago, which, a few days ago, reported more new cases in one 24—hour period than the entire european union. many experts say lockdown was lifted too quickly, the messaging on masks has been mixed, with president trump wearing one but not insisting his fellow americans have to wear one, too, which directly contradicts his top infectious diseases expert. i would urge the leaders, the local political and other leaders in states and cities and towns to be as forceful as possible in getting your citizenry to wear masks.

brazil has approximately 16,000 new cases a day, total infections like the us are over 2 million, a figure reached in less than a month after taking four months to reachi million. but there is some good news. there is a plateau, an opportunity now for brazil to push the disease down, to suppress the transmission of the virus, to take control. india has approximately 35,000 new cases per day. scientists say the peak could still be months away. although the fatality rate is relatively low. south africa has 13,000 new cases per day. it has gripped the country, overwhelming hospitals and that is why all south africans have to wear masks with the president saying this last weekend. the sale, the dispensing and distribution of alcohol will be suspended with immediate effect. a curfew will be put in place. and, so, without a vaccine,

the numbers keep climbing. the death toll keeps rising, and the world tries to adapt. paul hawkins, bbc news. uk prime minister borisjohnson has compared the prospect of a second national lockdown to britain's nuclear deterrent but says he wouldn't want to impose it. mrjohnson told the sunday telegraph newspaper he doesn't believe another nationwide lockdown will be needed if there's a second spike of coronavirus this winter. he also said that he believes any future outbreaks can be dealt with at a local or regional level. 0ur political correspondent nick eardley reports. this wasn't so long ago — national lockdown across the uk. streets deserted. things are starting to move again but the economic and social cost of the shutdown will be felt for some time — so the government is desperate to avoid a repeat. speaking to the sunday telegraph, the prime minister compares the idea of another national lockdown to the nuclear deterrent.

something he can't abandon as an option but one he never wants to use. that's because the government thinks local action can work now too. in places like rochdale where locals are being told to take extra precautions. limiting visitors to the house to two, wearing a face covering in shops before they become mandatory in england. the government has offered a light at the end of the tunnel, saying things could get back to something like normal before christmas. but some of their own advisors think pre—lockdown life, hugging ourfriends, shaking hands with people we meet, everyone going back to work, could take longer, possibly not until a vaccine is found. the government says everything is conditional on the virus being under control and nobody can be certain on what will happens next. nick eardley, bbc news. 0ur political correspondent jessica parkerjoins me.

borisjohnson sounding more positive than his chief scientific adviser did on friday. i think people are keeping a close eye out on what borisjohnson and his ministers say versus what some leading scientists say. of course, worth putting through the caveat that scientists can disagree with different views out there but sir patrick vallance, the chief scientific adviser you have seen standing next to borisjohnson, when he was talking about lockdown last week, he said we are moving towards this phase of more targeted measures to look at local outbreaks, that is where we are going, but that as we head into winter respiratory viruses can thrive and there is a risk to national measures could be needed as well. you compare that what boris johnson are saying, who says he doesn't think we will be in a position where we will see a national lockdown, likening it to a nuclear deterrent. i think that

tells you how destructive the prime minister regards national lockdown to be both in terms of the economy, the nation's health as well, in terms of the wider national health impacts. and boris johnson, one year in office, a lot of the papers focusing on that year, including him going to hospital with coronavirus. yes, a dramatic yearfor boris johnson. took overfrom yes, a dramatic yearfor boris johnson. took over from theresa yes, a dramatic yearfor boris johnson. took overfrom theresa may, had all sorts of... trials with parliament, as people wrestled over brexit. and very entrenched views. had a general election which he pulled out quite a substantial majority. then took the uk out of the eu and into the transition period. as if that wasn't dramatic enough, coronavirus came, something com pletely enough, coronavirus came, something completely unexpected in terms of the effect it has had on the nation and the way it has changed his administration and he talks in this interview on the sunday telegraph

about how he wants to get back on track with his national agenda, things like levelling up, things like policy areas he wants to implement but coronavirus has proved unpredictable and we will have to wait and see. and a year in which he and his partner have had a baby. it is in the papers as well with a mop ofjohnsonian care. exactly. this is probably the second picture we have seen of wilfred, who is 11 years old. and the first time we've seen borisjohnson old. and the first time we've seen boris johnson with old. and the first time we've seen borisjohnson with the baby, a picture of boris johnson, borisjohnson with the baby, a picture of borisjohnson, his fiancee and the baby, and what we understand as they are talking via zoom with midwives from university couege zoom with midwives from university college london hospital where they had the baby, thanking them for their work, having a conversation with them. that wasn't so long ago but it came just after borisjohnson himself had been in hospital with coronavirus and became very ill. a nice photo on the front of the

papers. he talked about losing weight. he says he lost 1.5 stones. yes, one stone, although he doesn't recommend as a form of weight loss, going into icu. he talks about the nation getting healthier going forward. thank you very much indeed, jessica parker. a summit of eu leaders in brussels will reconvene later for an unplanned third day as they try to reach agreement on an economic stimulus package, and their next budget. the leaders are continuing to haggle over conditions that may be attached to aid for the member states worst affected by covid—19. james ra nsley reports. negotiations long into the night but still no deal on the coronavirus economic rescue package. translation: we need to get a result. unfortunately, at the end of this day we have not

achieved it, negative. leaders haggling over the proposed 750 billion euros recovering fund. translation: there is a proposal from the president of the european council now which i believe represents in a very smart way what we want but this doesn't mean that everyone accepted it so we don't have a deal yet. it was elbow bumps in the first face—to—face eu summit since spring lockdowns across the continent. pleasantries that masked a deep divide among eu countries over whether the package should be given as grants or loans. france and germany want grants to mostly finance the fund but four wealthy northern member states, the netherlands, sweden, denmark and austria, insist on loans. still, there is some optimism. translation: in summary, one can say it is going quite well. things are going in

the right direction. of course, as you'd expect, it is a tough struggle, a tough negotiation but there is movement in the right direction and that is the most important thing. with the pandemic dealing europe its worst economic shock since world war ii, leaders here are hoping they will be able to iron out their differences when they meet this morning. james ransley, bbc news. our europe correspondent gavin lee joins us now from brussels. we are talking about staggering sums of money here, some countries willing to be pretty generous, others are being called the frugal countries. they don't want to hand over quite so much cash. austria, sweden, denmark, the netherlands and finland now, it is all about the main issue, the money given out as gra nts main issue, the money given out as grants rather than loans. 750 billion euros they want to race on the financial markets between the 27

countries to basically in the short term survive the recession from covid—19, 8% term survive the recession from covid—19,8% on term survive the recession from covid—19, 8% on average term survive the recession from covid—19,8% on average gdp contraction across europe, spain going to see 11% contraction so what do they do to try to boost the economy, bizjobs, get people working again? it comes down to really the leader of the pack, they say in dutch, he is keeping a stiff leg, not budging an inch on this because the dutch want to see a smaller amount given in grants, around 400 billion euros, not 500 billion euros but the italian and spanish don't want to see the pot reduced. they want to see money without the conditions of having to pay it back because they say it is not their fault. last night we were told that angela merkel and emmanuel macron walked out. she said in a

grumpy break—out because they were tired, they understood everybody‘s positions but they want to go home. they'd been talking for more than 25 hours, trying to work out this recovery fund. they tried to work out the long—term budget with more than a trillion and they have to pay extra to the coffers because of the uk leaving officially as of the end of the year, the transition period ends, so that is taking time, too. one other thing to throw in as well, there are some conditions known as there are some conditions known as the rule of law which means all countries abide by the general principles of the eu. poland, slovakia and hungary are saying they wa nt slovakia and hungary are saying they want these conditions attached, they've all been investigated in the past, so to add this, it is a massive political rubrics group and day three of talks. angela merkel has said they might not reach an agreement today. if they don't, what happens next? she has said this. it can well be that we won't have a

solution today. i think they will try. he conduit for these talks, john michelle, into the lions den, pretty new into the job, the new resident of the european council, trying to work everybody‘s position, he is said to come today with a new proposal. he has already revised at once. yesterday he reduced the gra nts once. yesterday he reduced the grants from 500 billion euros to 450 billion and gave people a super emergency brake which means that if spain applied for some money, and gave people a super emergency brake which means that if spain applied for some money, another country country has three days to say hang on we have a problem and lodge it with the european council and commission. it the dutch said but at the austrians and danish are trying to further reduce the amount of grants. it is like whack a mole on a massive political scale. in short, this could be another emergency summit next week or the weekend after. meanwhile coronavirus isn't beaten yet in europe. in spain in

particular still cause for concern. one of those things that mark route is talking about with the french president emmanuel macron inside todayis president emmanuel macron inside today is do they close the french border with spain on the catalonia side because from wednesday the number of covid cases in spain 380 and on thursday they had 580, and yesterday number of covid cases in spain 380 and on thursday they had they had more than 1000 cases in the catalonia region alone. this sudden spike, we are talking about levels they haven't seen since last year. already two parts of spain in parts of lockdown, near barcelona and close to the basque country as well, 110w close to the basque country as well, now they are talking about 4 million people around the immediate city region of barcelona going under a lockdown. right now they are saying no more than ten people can gather, stay at home, do shopping online, go to work if you have to do. we will see how that develops today. gavin,

thank you very much for that update. now europe correspondent in brussels. prosecutors in france say a man has been detained in an investigation into saturday's large fire in nantes' gothic cathedral. stained glass windows and the grand organ were badly damaged in the blaze which began early in the morning. prompt intervention by more than 100 firefighters helped ensure it didn't spread further. yesteday, prosecutors said they believed three separate fires at the site had been started deliberately, it comes a little more than a year after the devastating fire at notre dame cathedral lebanon is facing economic ruin. the country's currency has lost around 80% of its value against the dollar, prices have soared uncontrollably, and much of the middle class has been plunged into poverty. talks with the international monetary fund for a bailout have faltered. as our correspondent martin patience now reports from beirut, some are now turning to crime to feed their families.

this is how lebanon wants to portray itself to the world. but here's the reality. a country with a rich cultural heritage... ..is broken... ..and on the brink of a catastrophe. this was the rage across lebanon last month. people are desperate. food prices have more than doubled since the start of the year. mechanic mohammed says that even during the civil war here 30 years ago there was always cash. but now he says the money has dried up. and people can't even put food on the table. law and order is breaking down, and a one safe country is now seeing a surge in robberies.

look at what this armed man is stealing. nappies. at a different pharmacy, a robber pulled a gun on ibrahim. ijust gave him all the cash without doing anything. safety is his only problem. because of the currency crisis, ibrahim is struggling to import products. have customers come in here and you simply haven't had the drugs? yes, unfortunately, yes. that is happening in a lot of pharmacies, they say we are out of stock. lebanon is now facing a dangerous reckoning. the social fabric of this country is being torn apart and the sectarian divisions here are hardening. the big fear is that what we will see is a slide into violence. this man was once a fighter. now he is stealing

to feed his family. translation: we are forced to steal from vegetable shops because we are dying of hunger. it's not our fault. but stealing is wrong. translation: i'm not a thief. the politicians are the real thieves, they are the ones who got us into this mess. i really hope there is a future. but if the situation stays the same, my future will be the prison or the grave. lebanon has been plunged into darkness by crippling power cuts. in a region in turmoil, lebanon was seen as a stable country. not any more. martin patience, bbc news, beirut. profit warnings issued by leading uk businesses listed on the london stock exchange during the first half of this year

were at record levels, a new study has found. a third of the 350 companies have said they don't expect to make as much money as expected, mainly because of the impact of covid—19. the research by the city analysts, e:y, found that most warnings were posted by companies in the travel, hospitality and retail sectors. taylor dewar is a senior partner in ey‘s turnaround and restructuring strategy practice. i suppose this research and these figures are not hugely surprising but they kind of underlined the crisis we are in. absolutely right. the second quarter is another exceptionally high quarter for the uk. the usual types of businesses that consumers would expect to see warning were warning but what we are now seeing is the ripple effects of covid, moving into supply chains, and businesses up and downs in hand,

no matter what size they are, are not immune from the effects. are all these businesses now thinking about how to move forward, how they need to possibly restructure, and adapt to possibly restructure, and adapt to new ways of working?” to possibly restructure, and adapt to new ways of working? i think you're absolutely right. i think covid has been a wake—up call for many businesses. at the same time, it has harnessed the entrepreneurial spirit of many businesses as well and what we're seeing in boardrooms is working hard to innovate their business models, look at their supply chains, look to flex what they are doing and positioned themselves to cope for a more disruptive uncertain future. everybody seems to accept a pretty long recession is now inevitable, post—covid, how long do you think it might last for? at this stage, it is very difficult to say. we are seeing unprecedented levels of support from banks, from governments, from people across the world, so i think with

all this stimulus, i think the key thing there is how quickly we come off the stimulus and how quickly people tried to normalise events. a quick, short, sharp stimulus means it will be long and painful. if it is an ease to stimulus, we should find our way to work through this. there will be casualties. this research is talking about profit warnings being at a record level but equally there are a large number of companies across the country, big and small, that won't make it, that won't survive. i think you're right. there is a lot of businesses facing challenges and covid has exacerbated that and i think businesses will continue to fail and that will accelerate in the second half of the year. good to talk to you. many thanks. london's metropolitan police has released bodycam video footage of its officers being pelted

with objects as they tried to disperse crowds at an unlicensed music event. bottles, canisters and a bicycle were thrown at police as they tried to shut down the event, in east london, on friday night. two men, aged 18 and 19, were arrested. two officers suffered minor injuries. two men have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a stabbing at an amusement park in england. police say a man in his 20s suffered a serious stomach wound after an altercation between two groups at thorpe park, in surrey, yesterday afternoon. visitors were locked inside the park while the emergency services attended. buckingham palace has released the first official photographs of the wedding of princess beatrice and italian count edoardo mapelli mozzi. the private ceremony, attended by the queen and the duke of edinburgh, took place in secret at windsor‘s royal chapel on friday. keith doyle has more. like thousands of couples, this was not the wedding they'd

planned this summer. coronavirus meant princess beatrice's marriage to edoardo mapelli mozzi was a scaled—down affair held in secret. these, the first official photographs, show it was still an elegant event with flowers completely covering the archway of the royal chapel of all saints in windsor. beatrice's grandparents, the queen and duke of edinburgh, were among the guests, which numbered no more than 30 to stay within the government guidelines. prince andrew did walk his daughter down the aisle, but he does not appear in the official photographs released. he's taken a lot of flak over the past few months ever since that newsnight interview in november last year. he's come under a lot of fire, a lot of pressure, a lot of criticism, and he probably felt that it was time to be expedient, let the focus of attention be on his daughter. it is, after all, her day. and he'd keep out of the photographs. for the ceremony, princess beatrice wore a modified vintage dress

belonging to the queen. she also wore the diamond fringed tiara, which the queen wore on her own wedding day in 1947. this was the first time the royal family were together since lockdown. the queen was seen later in the day, knighting captain sir tom moore. while this was not quite a normal royal wedding, one tradition for royal brides was followed — beatrice's wedding bouquet was placed on the tomb of the unknown warrior in westminster abbey. keith doyle, bbc news. just a reminder of our main story this hour, which is that for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic began, the number of new daily infections around the world has surpassed a quarter of a million. that is the biggest increase, and it was in the united states, brazil, india and south africa that we saw the biggest

rises. that is the latest from here, on bbc news, you've been watching the bbc. hello. some sunday sunshine on the way for most of us through today, but there are some contrast in our weather fortunes. a few showers around, particularly across northern parts of the country. down towards the south—east is a very slow—moving weather front still bringing cloud and some spots of rain, particularly through parts of east anglia, the coast of norfolk, suffolk, essex, kent, the london area, down towards the south coast. staying pretty cloudy, with some rain at times into the start of the afternoon. further north and west we see sunny skies for the most part. some showers, across scotland in particular. quite a few showers in north—west scotland. not as windy here as it was during yesterday. through the day, we will continue to see our area of cloud towards the south—east bringing some

splashes of rain right through into the afternoon across parts of kent. the further north and west you are, sunny skies. some showers for scotland, one or two possibly for northern ireland and northern england. temperatures a little below par for this time of year. 17 celsius in aberdeen, 22 in cardiff. but it is a much better day for the cricket at old trafford. it should stay fine throughout the afternoon, with spells of sunshine, top temperatures 18 celsius. as we head through the evening we will finally lose the slow—moving weather front, the cloud and rain from the far south—east. for most it is clear skies through the night. some showers still across scotland. quite a chilly night for the time of year. these are the temperatures in towns and city centres, up to 10 celsius. some places in the countryside will get a little bit chillier than that. after a cool start it is a bright start to monday morning, some sunshine through the day. the potential for some showers,

one or two for northern england and northern ireland. quite a few across northern and western parts of scotland. as far as temperatures go, 15 in aberdeen, 21 in cardiff, 22 the high in london. the mainly fine start to the new working week comes courtesy of high pressure. that will try to hold on and it will do, i think, towards the south for the most part through the week. a frontal system pushing in towards the north—west will bring some rain in the north—western areas through the middle of the week. towards the south it will warm up a little bit.

this is bbc news. the headlines: there's been a record number of new cases of coronavirus in 24 hours — 260,000 cases were reported. the biggest increases were in the us, brazil, india and south africa. borisjohnson says he doesn't believe another nationwide lockdown will be needed — even if there's a second spike of coronavirus this winter. eu leaders meet for an unscheduled third day of talks on a post—coronavirus economic recovery plan. there's been a record number of profit warnings issued by leading uk businesses that are listed on the london stock exchange.
