6:08 am
a spokesman for the duke and duchess said they hadn't been interviewed or contributed to the book. let's speak to our political correspondent helen catt. helen, is this the first time the prime minister has acknowledged publicly that there may lockdown and coronavirus has given a have been mistakes? problem for soap operas. they have not been able to film. yes, so far, the government line has consistently been that it took the the subject of coronavirus has finally arrived on the cobbled right steps at the right time in streets of weatherfield, dealing with this pandemic, so the with residents of coronation street making the soap's first prime minister's words there seem to open the door to the idea that, reference to the pandemic. well, maybe they did not get it she could be seriously ill. it is quite right and the fact that they the first day of the trial. is that have particularly, he was speaking there about the first few weeks and a coincidence. she has probably run into somebody in the prison. months, that has been a realfocus of scrutiny when it comes to the timing of when we went into lockdown during last night's programme, the character and also around what happened in yasmeen nazir, was suspected ca re and also around what happened in care homes and what went on to of having contracted covid— 19, while others also develop there, so it is interesting mentioned the virus. the episode was the first to be that he seems to be acknowledging filmed entirely with social distancing measures in place. that. he was also adamant in that interview, though, that now is not the time for a big inquiry into this, that the pandemic is not over and therefore the time to look back and therefore the time to look back if you're still hoping
6:09 am
and doa and therefore the time to look back and do a thorough inquiry is not now to get abroad this year, even though i think there is a sense the list of places you can visit without needing to quarantine in westminster that there will be on your return to the uk one at some point, a big loopback. has just expanded. five more destinations have been added labour have obviously picked up on to the list of so—called "reduced "risk countries". that saying that boris johnson labour have obviously picked up on that saying that borisjohnson had finally admitted that the government from tuesday of next week, the baltic states had mishandled its response to the of estonia and latvia coronavirus, that it was too slow to acknowledge this threat of the will be on that list, along with slovakia, virus, too slow to enter lockdown slovenia and the caribbean islands of saint vincent and the grenadines. and too slow to take the crisis theyjoin more than 50 seriously. i think the important countries which were point is that even if we are not already on the list — doing a big loopback now, there is including holiday hotspots like france, spain, italy and turkey. the threat of a resurgence of cases perhaps in the winter, so that key point is has the government learned portugal, however, remains off—limits unless you are prepared to self—isolate enough from that early phase to take when you get back home. forward into whatever comes next? that will come as a blow to the two thank you, helen. and a half million brits portugal has again been left off who go there every year — the list of countries which can be and to the hotels, bars a nd restau ra nts visited without the need to quarantine on return to england. which were hoping to welcome them. the government announced we can speak now to its latest list of countries which do not face the portuguese ambassador travel restrictions yesterday. let's speak to our reporter to the uk, manuel lobo antunes. alison roberts, in lisbon. good morning, thank you forjoining good morning. thank you for talking

6:11 am
and in the algarve, it is much, much would like to travel to meet their family, their friends, and would like to travel to meet their family, theirfriends, and the fact that portugal is under quarantine, more, so it is really crucial and so to say, makes us more difficult they will be working hard to convince the british government that for them. a deep disappointment. they are getting their act in order. thank you, we will find out exactly what they are doing to convince the british government when we speak to explain the situation with coronavirus in portugal now. how the portuguese ambassador to britain many cases do you have? do you have at about 8:10am this morning. any particular hotspots? we have at the duke and duchess of sussex have distanced themselves from a book which claims to give a detailed account of a breakdown this time about 49,000 cases. about in their relations with other members of the royal family. the book, finding freedom — being serialised by the times — 1700 deaths. a relatively low rate. suggests harry and meghan had felt their complaints weren't being taken seriously. a spokesman for the duke and duchess said they hadn't been interviewed or contributed to the book. it is true there have been some a lottery winner in the us has peaks of the virus in specific split his jackpot of 22 million regions of portugal. namely around dollars with an old friend because of a "gentleman's agreement" lisbon, in the north, but these they made nearly 30 years ago. places are identified, and

behind prince harry and meghan's decision to step back as senior suppose your passports would have royals and relocate to the us. been up to date and ready to go. but it should be said, there is nothing there is an issue with this massive spectacularly new in this story, it backlog. what are your thoughts on is all things we already knew, but this and what is your advice? it is further evidence of how we got some news overnight. i deep—rooted the bad feeling was there. calculate that 2 million passports the guardian reports on the bbc‘s interview with boris johnson, have expired in the four months of who admitted the government lockdown. roughly half a million per could have done things differently over covid—19 and conceded month. 40% of those are for children the government did not understand because there passports run out the virus in the first annoyingly quickly, every five few weeks and months. and the i weekend carries a poll yea rs. suggesting that 80% of people annoyingly quickly, every five years. there are 410,000 passports who have been able to work from home caught in the backlog at the during the coronavirus pandemic, passport office which has been on want to continue doing so. reduced staffing, understandably, it comes as the government prepares since lockdown. overnight the home to change advice for employers office has said, if you can on bringing staff back to workplaces demonstrate that you have applied from the 1st of august. for a renewed passport at least four here's sarah with a look weeks ago, and you can demonstrate, at this morning's weather. may through an airline booking, that you are set to travel in the next holiday season for some people are two weeks, we will expedite your starting to get going, staycations passport, we will get it to you in
6:16 am
five working days. that does not help people applying for an adult may be. sarah, those clouds look a little ominous. yes, if you are camping this passport for the first time, it only weekend, you will see some showers affects renewals. but the passport around, quite blustery as well, but not a right off. today, a fairly office says they will do everything they can if you can... many of the 2 cloudy sort of day, some rain around at times and some of it quite heavy but equally a bit of sunshine and i million passports that have expired, think tomorrow most of should see some more sunshine than there is those people will have no interest today. low—pressure driving are in travelling this summer. and the whether at moment sitting out to the east of scotland, pushing weather advice is, do not book any holidays fronts across the uk, so here is the until you know your passport is in radarfrom fronts across the uk, so here is the radar from the last few hours. you date. i know this has happened to can see splashes of rain around people but what happens if you across can see splashes of rain around a cross m ost can see splashes of rain around across most of the uk, and drier travel and you do not realise your cipher parts of northern ireland with the midlands as well having passport is out of date? will you some brighter spells but for most of immediately be turned away from if us, cloudy morning. some heavy the border? it all depends if they showers across scotland this morning which should turn to ease away. the spot it. honestly there are cloud will break up, so sunny extraordinary stories of what people have got away with. but in theory, spells, but as things warm up, that will kick off some showery rain and in principle, legally, you will not across the south—east, that rain could be quite heavy and thundery as be allowed even to get on a flight we head into the afternoon, anywhere ora
6:17 am
be allowed even to get on a flight or a ferry if your passport has from the isle of wight to kent at expired. having said that, there is about 4pm. the midlands and anecdotal evidence that people have lincolnshire seeing sunny spells and somehow slipped through the net. but heavy, thundery downpours, similar ido somehow slipped through the net. but i do not advise it. no, it is a very for northern ireland, dry weather or northern england and parts of big risk to take. in terms of taking scotland, but we could also see some the temperature for public appetite heavy showers lingering into the afternoon. temperatures for most of for it going, or people opted to us with a height of between 18 and stay in this country, what is your sense of where we are at the moment? 21 degrees, maybe even 23 celsius across parts of the east of england and we could see some showery rain there is huge amounts of uncertainty, as we have been hearing affecting test matches today at old this morning. more concerns about parts of spain. portugal still not trafford, but on and off, so it will not be raining all day and tomorrow being on the ok to visits list. all looks significantly drier. heading into the evening hours, that heavy kinds of uncertainties. there might rain across the south—east of england and east anglia, you are be some people in beautiful likely to hear some rumbles of florence, which has more tourists thunder. most of those heavy showers now than a couple of weeks ago. if clear of the worst east overnight. there were a spike here i might some across the north—west the uk possibly have to spend two weeks but looking mild with double figures waiting here before i was allowed to start sunday morning. sunday morning will start off a little bit home stop there is a lot of anxiety brighter than this morning, lots of out there. my advice is that if you clouds and abbots of rain this are prepared to tolerate the risks
6:18 am
morning, but low pressure still with involved in travelling, then the us with the bulk of the weather fronts moving towards the east. another blustery feeling day tomorrow with winds coming in from chances are you will have an the west, feeling fresher than it enriching and enjoyable journey, has over recent days but there will bea chances are you will have an enriching and enjoyablejourney, and a fantastic experience, which is has over recent days but there will be a bit more sunshine. most showery just what you might need after four rain tomorrow will be across parts months of lockdown. but it will not of scotla nd rain tomorrow will be across parts of scotland especially the west, but what to showers bubbling up later in be for everyone. you need to be able the day across parts of southern and to tolerate all those uncertainties. wales as well but stopped we have even heard people have been temperatures perhaps a degree or two cooler than today, around 16 to 22 told, you are on a flight with somebody who later tested covid—19 degrees but it will feel cooler where you have more sunshine on positive and you might have to offer and fewer showers around as quarantine as well. it is a gamble. well. the outlook into next week if it would be a terrible hardship to you are off on holiday, things look a little unsettled over the next few be stuck there for another two days but then it gradually becomes a weeks. if you do not mind, would you bit drier and warmer from any of as as we head through the week. show as a little bit more of the view of where you are at the moment. thank you, we will speak to you i feel you are mocking view of where you are at the moment. ifeel you are mocking us view of where you are at the moment. i feel you are mocking us with your beautiful blue sky. later. we will be talking about the shed of the year competition later iamjust beautiful blue sky. i am just working. somebody has to. in the show, very serious business. i feel excluded from this. it is wonderful here in italy. one you are inadequate if you do not

6:22 am
i've babysitted...sat. than in recent days. more in the bay of sunshine. most of the rain across do you know how to open this? western parts of scotland. as things o'sullivan plays bridget, a 30—something waitress who finds herself facing an unwanted pregnancy at warm up daytime showers bubbling up across southern parts of england and around the same time that fate conspires to offer her we as well. temperatures tomorrow new employment as a nanny. 17-22 we as well. temperatures tomorrow frances? 17—22 celsius. a fresh feel to the will bridget‘s avowed child—phobia prevent her from caring for six—year—old weather. unsettled as we head into frances, and what will her employers, one of whom the first part of the new week, it is devoutly religious, think of her decision should be drier and warmer, to have a termination? especially in the south, later on next week. directed with loose—limbed intimacy by alex thompson, st frances is refreshingly frank on a number of subjects that mainstream cinema has often considered to be taboo. from menstruation and postnatal depression, to birth control and abortion. boris johnson has admitted the government didn't understand your sperm are the coronavirus in the "first few probably super fast. weeks and months" of the pandemic, that's a compliment. thank you, thank you so much. and suggested things "could have been done differently". i appreciate that. in it's also terrifically an interview with the bbc‘s funny and heart—warming, laura kuenssberg, the prime minister with intimate hand—held said there are "lessons to be cinematography giving us learned" from the government's the impression that we're handling of the coronavirus pandemic eavesdropping on genuine which has now taken the lives conversations and encounters. of more than 45,000 people in the uk. but what's most impressive let's hear what he had to say. is how much the incidental
6:23 am
details of this frank and feisty film ring true. why was she angry? what's a patriarchy? it's where men are in charge and women have to do what they say. like michaela coel‘s outstanding tv series i may destroy you, st frances this was something new that we did expands the representation of women's lives on screen in a manner that's so casual, not understand in the first few weeks and months. we did not see in you hardly notice it's happening. i am proud of you. the beginning their weight was being i'm so proud of you, frannie. transmitted a symptomatically from whispering: i'm not person to person. that was not clear frannie right now. to us or to anybody. that was boris oh, sorry. i loved st frances, and i have no hesitation johnson speaking yesterday. in recommending it. it's well worth let's speak to dr chaand nagpaul, council chair a trip to the cinema. of the british medical association. # i once was lost, he joins us from north london this morning. but now am found...# thank you for talking to us. we will all right, well, that was talk about what the prime minister said ina talk about what the prime minister said in a moment. but to accentuate neither amazing nor graceful. the positives, what do you think the also opening in a number government got right? of uk cinemas this week is stage mother, in which jacki weaver plays maybelline, the director very early on when we first had the of a conservative texas pandemic the government was right in church choir, who inherits taking an approach around taste and a san francisco gay bar when her estranged son dies.
6:24 am
the trees. we had a situation at the maybelline's husband is a straight—arrow stick—in—the—mud who refused end of february, into march, it very to accept his son's sexuality, causing the family to split apart. clear policy that anyone infected would have the contacts chased and are you ricky's mom, from texas? but now, maybelline sees a chance to make peace isolated. that started off in the with the past to become a surrogate mum to the boys in the band, and turn right footing. it went wrong later a rundown drag show into a crowd—pulling success. on. the other positive, if i can call it that, we did create the back in the ‘90s, capacity in the nhs to manage the films like priscilla, queen of the desert and to wong foo, thanks for everything julie impact of increased numbers of newmar provided multiplex friendly portrayals of drag patients with covid—19. i also want culture, along with mike nichols' the birdcage, to see there was a negative there as a star—studded us remake of la cage aux folles. well because that was at the expense and whatever those films' of millions of patient two did not flaws, they seemed at the time broadly ground—breaking. have coronavirus not receiving the but in the age of rupaul‘s ca re have coronavirus not receiving the care because there was not even naff drag race, it's hard to see what ground, if any, capacity in the nhs. what did you is being broken by stage mother. think of what are the prime minister there's literally nothing new or original about director tom fitzgerald's movie said yesterday a shift in emphasis having previously said things went from a script by brad henning, which is content to simply as well as we could have done?m tick every well—meaning stereotypical box.
6:25 am
thank heaven forjacki weaver, having previously said things went as well as we could have done? it is clear is that things did not go as who was oscar—nominated for recent hits like well as they should have done animal kingdom and silver linings playbook, and brings a much—needed dose of oomph because we have had sadly a to a film that, mortality rate in the uk that is far although good—hearted, borders all too often higher than any of our european on the bland. comparative nations. we went into this pandemic with a head start, in starting later than in spain and italy. we had something to learn from them. in spite of that we have done so much worse. the true death toll is higher than 45,000. that is based on death certificates. there there's both a theatrical are many others who would have died and virtual release for il traditore, the traitor, a sprawling drama about tommaso buscetta, a member from covid—19 that are not. the of the sicilian mafia other mortality, we must not forget, who turned informant, shedding light on the inner the excess overall excess mortality, workings of the cosa nostra. all those other patients who did not have covid—19 but were not able to receive treatment during the pandemic. when you add that into the in competition at last year's cannes film festival, marco bellocchio's ambitious, mix, we have done much worse than
6:26 am
if not always enthralling drama other european nations. there is a very serious issue here. it is not depicts buscetta and his family, from whom he was separated about blame. it is about learning and being honest about the fact that by geography and imprisonment, and some of whom he lost to a catalogue things did not go as they should of internecine mob violence. have done. there are reasons for that. what is really important is to the most intriguing scenes are those between buscetta and judge falconi, with these learn now. what the british medical two men from opposite sides of the law finding unexpected association alongside many other royal colleges and other kinship and respect. associations are calling for is an independent rapid review to make sure that whatever we do from this moment onwards is based on proper objective approach is to minimise further casualties over the coming there's weird theatre too months. part of the problem for the in the courtroom scenes, in which buscetta testifies government and for other countries while mafias who watch from behind barsjeering, as well, is that this was a new gesturing and occasionally virus. it is not something that had taking the stand. been seen before. to some extent it's an epic story, which was the italian entry everybody was learning as the for the 92nd academy awards' situation unfolded. that is clearly international feature category, but which, for me, lacked the kinetic energy with which, true, this is a new virus. but there for example, scorsese's goodfellas took a true—life
6:27 am
crime saga and turned it into something genuinely cinematic. we re true, this is a new virus. but there were many things that the uk did that were different from established practices in other nations. start at this is the place you come where you can dance and scream and be with your own kind the lockdown. at a time when many other countries had stopped public and where everything is gatherings we still went ahead with possible. but how do i get major public events, with large there from here? crowds, the cheltenham races, other transformation is at the heart of how to build a girl, sporting events. we were not doing adopted by screenwriter caitlin moran what was being done in other places. from her autobiographically— inspired bestseller. when it came to the approach around what a beautiful day! i regret to say that despite my ppe we had a head start, knowing the best intentions, today has been another miserable one. levels of ppe that would be required well, missy, to seeing what was going on in italy i've had plenty of those. and spain. it's what we were told beanie feldstein plays johanna morrigan, a studious mid—90s school kid with dreams was there was enough stockpiled, that was the student is given to of becoming a writer, doctors like us. when it came to it who discovers that an unbridled and we did not have the equipment to enthusiasm for the annie soundtrack isn't what the hip protect ourselves, as a medical rock press are looking for. have a free t—shirt. profession, and other health care workers, we were then told it was dear god, it's a child catcher. around the fact that supplies are not able to be delivered because of
6:28 am
so, she reinvents herself logistics and the army were drafted as bad girl dolly wilde, a top hat—wearing whirlwind in. sorry to interrupt, i have who wins awards for writing the kind of scathing reviews that make her feared interviewed people who were on the and famous, but also leave her front line who said that at times they came close to not having enough feeling empty and unfulfilled. ppe. iam not like gurinder chadha's they came close to not having enough ppe. i am not disputing that ppe was blinded by the light, a major issue. but people who worked how to build a girl has a rough and ready energy that's hard to resist, sprinkling its on the covid—19 awards have said that they always had enough, they streetwise tale with elements got by. of ecstatic musical fantasia. however awful it is on earth, you are right, that we managed to it's always summer. it's a credit to feldstein get by. but that should not have that the wobbliness of her wolverhampton accent never comes between us been the case. we got by at times we and her character. instead, we simply get on board are stocks had almost completely run with her adventures, out. remember, the entire idea of as she resolves to rip it up and start again. having covid—19 and non—disease—macro words was flawed. come on, we're going out. how to build a girl is available on amazon prime. 300 care workers have died. 90% of doctors who have died have come from
6:29 am
a bame background. there were problems with ppe. supply chain and from wolverhampton to paris for alice, the prize—winning feature debut from australian the entire rear students we deceived writer—director at the beginning that there was josephine mackerras. enough, that is what we were told. emilie piponnier is a woman with a child and an apparently loving husband who suddenly disappears after squandering —— entire rear students. all their money on high—class prostitutes. facing foreclosure on her home, alice turns to the very escort they were, but as i said, what was a agencies to which her husband was addicted, finding a new line of work which proves problem was we were given assurances unexpectedly liberating. that were not matched with reality. we were not told there were shortages, we were told they were there but were not being delivered. that, if there is any learning that originally written as needs to be had, there needs to be an english—language film set in london, alice has a somewhat openers with the public and the rose—tinted view of sex work profession. the other issue that early on was also a problem was that sits comfortably, or should that be around the testing policy. not uncomfortably, within because this was a new virus but a certain strand of chic because this was a new virus but cosmopolitan french cinema. because it it was clear was the way
6:30 am
you deal with a pandemic is the what raises this above the level contact trace and isolate. what happened at the beginning of march of mere movie cliche is the efficiency in is that we abandoned that at the uk which mackerras evokes the personal and financial catastrophe facing our heroine in the first act. we really do get the feeling government took a view or a policy of watching someone's life suddenly falling apart, of self isolation without testing thanks in no small part to people in the community and emilie piponnier‘s performance. therefore there was no control. this plaudits too to martin swabey, who is eerily convincing came ata as the perfect partner therefore there was no control. this came at a time, i remember, when the who turns out to be who were using this director—general a loathsome creep. alice is available on selected digital platforms. mantra of testing. the infection # trolls, they want to have fun. # yeah, trolls just rapidly expanded, at what we did not want to have fun.# get from the government was clarity as to why it had literally abandoned back at the beginning of lockdown, trolls world tour that contact tracing approach and was one of the first major studio films intended for cinema release, that contact tracing approach and that i think resulted in far greater but instead went straight spread when what we should have been to streaming services. doing at that stage is making sure poppy, you know you can't go back on a pinky promise. we knew who had the infection, who from monday, you can own it with a contact and isolated them. on dvd and blu—ray to watch that also led to an expansion. thank over and over and over again. a prospect that will you very much indeed. this will

doubtless delight some kids office to be talked about a great while terrifying their parents. length at the independent review a pinky promise! which will take place in due course dang! i'll leave you with news that bong joon ho's oscar into the coronavirus pandemic. i winner parasite is back sent away in. —— as and when. at the curzon mayfair in london and on curzon home cinema in the black—and—white addition in the black—and—white edition unveiled at the rotterdam film headlines coming up. festival earlier this year. according to director bong, all the characters look even more poignant and the distinctions between the different spaces where the families live with all the shades of grey, are even more tragic. that's it for this week. thanks for watching the film review. stay safe and i'll be back next week. i apologise.

6:41 am
maintain social distancing and you but for them, it's necessary. can at this point go into the it's really worrying because although they've lifted cu bicles to the ban, there's always the thought can at this point go into the cubicles to dry off, before going of a second wave coming and obviously, i want to protect my out of the one—way system. reduced daughter as much as i can especially capacity, for the first time since with her immune system being so low. march, ona capacity, for the first time since march, on a wet day, you can book a it's going to be really scary, you know, to ever let her out dip in yourlocal march, on a wet day, you can book a dip in your local swimming pool in of the house again, to be honest. england and northern ireland. we when will that be? i don't know. will be back with mike later on. as i don't know — when there's a cure. do you think shielding someone who does a good impression should be lifted at all? some of it, yeah, but not for ofa someone who does a good impression of a beached whale when i get into the pool, anyone who can swim for the really vulnerable ones like me. one hour, i have no respect for. i am with you on that one. thank goodness the underwater hockey is in gateshead, 95—year—old elizabeth back. we have missed it! is desperate to go to the shops, but the garden and her sheltered accommodation for the past four months, is the furthest she will go. more than two million people across england have been shielding themselves from the coronavirus, but next week the rules well, because i don't want to catch the virus, isn't it? are set to change. for many people, that i mean, you know, there's how many will mean an end to extra people have lost their lives to it? support like food deliveries, and some are concerned and i've come to a big age that their families still need help. now and i don't want fiona trott reports. to lose it to a virus,
6:42 am
hi, matthew. really, isn't it? hiya, you all right? i've got the stuff for you. a welcome sight. i'll set them down here for you. for four months, these food boxes have been a lifeline for people from next week, rebecca and poppy who don't leave the house, but when shielding stops, will continue to shield. they, too, will stop. they will not get free food boxes, so volunteers like matthew are all they have. 0k, see you later. that's why this charity on teesside is stepping in. staying at home is a tough decision, i'm at the supermarket. but for them, it's necessary. is there anything else it's really worrying we need this morning? because although they've lifted pipsco buys food and collects the ban, there's always the thought donations from the supermarket. of a second wave coming it's then packed here. and obviously, i want to protect my daughter as much as i can especially with her immune system being so low. they've even made up meal kits, it's going to be really scary, all delivered to people's homes. you know, to ever let her out when the covid pandemic hit, of the house again, to be honest. i couldn't get when will that be? i don't know. a food delivery online. i don't know — when there's a cure. the woman behind it is shielding herself. do you think shielding she knows how difficult it is. should be lifted at all? this is people who are so terrified some of it, yeah, but not for for their health going out that they would literally starve. we have had messages from people the really vulnerable ones like me. who have shared a packet of super noodles between three school—age kids for dinner. in gateshead, 95—year—old elizabeth it is such a massive issue that is desperate to go to the shops, needed to be solved and ijust but the garden and her sheltered didn't see how the government accommodation
6:43 am
is the furthest she will go. was going to sort that so quickly. well, because i don't want to catch there is also concern that some the virus, isn't it? people behind closed doors may be i mean, you know, there's how many struggling with their mental health. people have lost their lives to it? i actually got a telephone call and i've come to a big age from a patient‘s sister now and i don't want because the patient themselves to lose it to a virus, was really fearful that they might really, isn't it? be being spied on, that if they go for four months, these food boxes out, they will get into trouble have been a lifeline for people when, in fact, they are being who don't leave the house, but when shielding stops, they, too, will stop. shielded and they absolutely that's why this charity on teesside is stepping in. need to be shielded, i'm at the supermarket. so shielding has been a huge is there anything else damaging experience to her mental health and she is only one. we need this morning? the pause in shielding makes no pipsco buys food and collects donations from the supermarket. difference to some people. it's then packed here. the government says nhs volunteers they've even made up meal kits, all delivered to people's homes. are still there to help. when the covid pandemic hit, i couldn't get a food delivery online. the woman behind it is shielding herself. worth going through the guidelines she knows how difficult it is. for people who come out of shielding, because it is not
6:44 am
this is people who are so terrified com pletely shielding, because it is not completely a reversion to what the for their health going out guidelines are for everyone. they that they would literally starve. say you can leave your home to spend we have had messages from people time outdoors but always try and who have shared a packet of super noodles between three stay two metres apart. school—age kids for dinner. it is such a massive issue that try not to leave your home more than needed to be solved and ijust once a day, go out when they are didn't see how the government fewer people around. do not go was going to sort that so quickly. there is also concern that some people behind closed doors may be anywhere indoors, such as shops. it struggling with their mental health. is not a return to normality and some other people are experiencing. i actually got a telephone call from a patient‘s sister because the patient themselves was really fearful that they might we speak to a lot of listeners be being spied on, that if they go out, they will get into trouble when, in fact, they are being monday to friday about this, this is shielded and they absolutely a very personal thing and terms of need to be shielded, some people are really relieved the guidances changed and will enjoy so shielding has been a huge more freedom, but for others it will bea more freedom, but for others it will damaging experience to her mental be a much more worrying period. yes, health and she is only one. 2 million people across the uk are shielding, so people will be feeling the pause in shielding makes no difference to some people.
6:45 am
the government says nhs volunteers are still there to help. differently throughout that cohort. 90,000 children included, notjust elderly people who are shielding, it isa elderly people who are shielding, it is a mixed bag. there is going to be mixed views. talking to my patients, there is a lot of anxiety going from now the weather. lots of people shielding to being able to go out getting out and about so we are hoping for a little bit of a lift in again, and the government guidances the gloom. is there any sign of it? there about limiting the numbers of times they go out, how far they are we have a few spells of sunshine out between people. but there are things there, not a write off, but an they have no control over, they cannot control other people's u nsettled there, not a write off, but an unsettled picture through today and behaviour, how close they get to into tomorrow. cloudy today, outbreaks of rain around and this is them. it is not so easy to stake —— say stay two metres away. food the picture first thing in beer in deliveries may come to an end for a devon. we have some torrential lot of people which means they will have to go to the shop so they have downpours later this afternoon, some thunderstorms around as well but not no other means. there are charities and communities that are helping everywhere will see it, the showers will be hit and miss. we have this these people about anxiety levels big area of low pressure driving the are high and there was also a worry weather. weather fronts will be of her second wave with these people, so they are really left out pushing their way west to east over the next 24 are as, bringing of this and there is no intermediate space for them. they have gone from outbreaks of rain and blustery
6:46 am
winds. this is where we have had the shielding to being able to go back rain over the past couple of hours, out, some may have to go back to work as well, that is a real issue. many places waking up to a damp start. heavy rain across parts of what is the situation with that? if you do not safe leaving home, but scotla nd start. heavy rain across parts of scotland this morning, further south we will see those torrential showers into the afternoon. nobody will be the messages to get back in the office or your workplace if you can, immune to catching those showers, as how do you manage that if you do not we head through the course of the have a sympathetic boss? and are gps day, particularly through the midlands, east anglia and later in the day the south—east of england. being drawn into those discussions? we have been asked about it, and i northern ireland catching some of those torrential downpours. from have had a number of calls about theirs. about what can be done. it northern ireland into scotland, you will see some drier and brighter is all about communication with the bars, bosses are being put in a weather. some heavy showers and difficult situation as well because thunderstorms across eastern parts they have been told where possible of scotland, but temperatures out if they need to to get people back there for most of us between 18—21, into the office, but it has all there for most of us between 18—21, the warmest spots in parts of east about compromise. we have all learned there are things we can do from home that we were not doing anglia and lincolnshire at around 23 before, so you may not be able to celsius, but we expect to see some go... you do not have to go in of those heavy downpours. we could see some rain for the third test at everyday, perhaps you can go in old trafford, but it will not be wet certain days. when people have been all day, there will be some drier off long—term sick from our point of
6:47 am
view we often give what we call weather later. into the evening, phased return to work notes. there most of those heavy downpours to the isa phased return to work notes. there is a slow incremental build—up to east. some drier weather overnight. returning. that may be something there will be some rain moving into they can discuss. you were just hope the north—west, but mild, so temperatures in double figures to to for flexibility start sunday morning. sunday morning they can discuss. you were just hope forflexibility in the circumstances. you mentioned anxiety, the whole status of being classified as a shield i must have a starting on a better note than this morning with more sunshine around. profound impact on your confidence some low pressure not far away, to the north—west of uk. further in the wider community and on mental shadows will rattle around that area well—being which we have talked about. how are you navigating that of low pressure and it will be with your patients? mental health is blustery in parts of northern going to be a big issue in the ireland and scotland, some heavy showers for the west of scotland but for the rest of the uk, drier than coming months. forshielding patients returning back to what is it is today, so some sunshine considered normal. but for everyone tomorrow, feeling a little bit else who are struggling with the pressure, and temperatures between return of the easing of the 16-22 pressure, and temperatures between 16—22 on sunday. looking fairly lockdown. i think that will be u nsettled tricky for other people as well. i 16—22 on sunday. looking fairly unsettled as we start next week. showers lingering into monday, so a am seeing more nhs staff, people who have been on the front line, who blustery sort of day then high pressure building later in the week over the last four months have been so particularly for england and
6:48 am
wales you will see temperatures rising through the course of next increasingly busy, seeing things at week and showers should fade away an intensity that they were never into next week, roger and rachel. seen before and now that things are slowing down a little they have had time to reflect, and i have had not a huge amount to cheer about conversations with my patients who u nless not a huge amount to cheer about unless you are in oxford next week. are front line staff have about how that has affected their mental health. it is really hard. quite a thank you, sarah. if you are missing shock if you have been shielding for a long time as you go out into the a bit of nice summer weather we may world and in some situations it have something for you in the next feels like everything is kind of few minutes. let's take a look at this week's travel show. back to normal. that can be really this week airlines, anger, and still no answers. disconcerting. i know you are the people fighting a four—month battle recommending for people to try and to get their money back. perhaps get out they are slowly, and canals without the crowds. making the move towards being could the end of the lockdown mean a second chance for venice? outside, mixing with people in small stages. yes, there are going to be things you have control over and first up, that issue thatjust things you have control over and things you have control over and things you don't. you do not have doesn't go away — refunds. control over anyone else's behaviour so you have to put that to one side. you may remember when we first it is easy to get disheartened by started reporting on lockdown back at the end of march, big crowds of people hanging out it quickly became apparent that together, but there are things you many people just couldn't can do. if you are worried about get their money back
6:49 am
for cancelled flights. going out, built it up slowly in four months on and we are still small increments, perhaps going being contacted by viewers who can't get a refund outside five minutes to begin with, from their airlines, go for a short walk, slowly build it so we have sent simon calder up, as you said before, go out when in to investigate why. it is least busy, early in the between march and june, mornings, if you can go to open we on the travel show estimate green spaces, good for your mental that at least half a billion travellers have had their flights cancelled worldwide, health rather than crowded and, quite reasonably, inner—city areas. there are small many would like things you can do to build it up. their money back. the airline's response has been thank you, always good to talk to very lacking in information, you. here's sarah with a look and the most important thing is how long i should expect at this morning's weather. to wait for my refund. good morning, it is looking a bit the travel agent is saying that the airline is responsible, mixed out there. today and tomorrow, and the airline is telling me that the travel agent are responsible. fairly unsettled. we have glimpses we received the refund of blue sky, this is the picture in number on june 1st. and as yet we have cambridge this morning. some sunny had nothing else. spells around but for most it will we only know that there be fairly cloudy through the day and is 120 days' wait. the same as everybody else. there will be outbreaks of rain
6:50 am
later, some can be heavy and i have lost myjob now as well, so i have got no income any thundery as well. casting our minds more, so it would have been back to one year ago, in cambridge nice to have it back. a little sooner. the 25th ofjuly 2019 was when we with flights being cancelled, your rights are clear recorded the highest uk temperature at least in the uk and the european union. ever recorded. 38.7 celsius. today, you must get your money back within a week, whether you have booked direct with the airline, very different, many 20 degrees or through a travel agent. cooler, because we have our air many other countries, coming from the atlantic. a fairly including the us, india, freshfields through the day, cold brazil and egypt have similar front bringing outbreaks of rain. rules, but, in this unprecedented crisis, this is where we had showers of the it's clear that many airlines past couple of hours, heavy across and agents are falling short parts of scotland, continuing to see of their refund obligations. some rattling through across here in st albans, one scotla nd some rattling through across scotland over the next few hours. group of customers feel particularly let down. england and wales, sunny spells developing at the sunshine breaks the cloud, but as things warm up, back in march, 21 members more showers building. down towards parts of southern and south—eastern of the nsg performing arts school were supposed to fly england, some rain could be quite to los angeles to compete in an international heavy, persistent. could be some dance competition. hailand heavy, persistent. could be some hail and thunder and lightning. showers across parts of the basically two years of working midlands, wales, some try weather every week, every sunday,
6:51 am
for parts of northern england and and fundraising for as much money as you can because scotland. showers rattling in for it is very expensive northern ireland later. he tended to get over there. so we had various most, not going to be all be seeing fundraising events. the showers, but if you catch when both my children got part—time it could be heavy. we could just see jobs so that they could help raise money towards it. christmas was cut a little bit short in the presents 24 celsius also in parts of east and things, and obviously at the moment still we are anglia. as the third test continues waiting for that to come back. at old trafford, a chance of rain at times interrupting play today but a few days before flying out, the group were notified there will be some dry weather on by their carrier, virgin atlantic, that their flights there will be some dry weather on the cards as well. the heaviest had been cancelled. showers clearing to the east in the three and a half months later they were still waiting evening, then starting to dry for their refund of £14,000. overnight. still reasonably mild with temperatures holding up in it is really frustrating. double figures for many. we start sunday on a better note, a bit more on a daily basis, having blue sky arise from the word go, but to e—mail them and obviously have been contacting low pressure still not far—away, the travel agent. sitting to the north—west of various other mothers as well have been having scotland, a few isobars on the map. to e—mail them constantly, and none of us have been getting anything back. or, we have been getting fairly blustery, feeling fresher e—mails that say here is a reference number, and we will contact than has died recently, compensating you within five days, and then with a bit more blue sky. still some we don't get contacted. it is just frustrating. virgin has apologised to the dance group for showers, heavy across western
6:52 am
the delay, and told us... scotland, later southern parts of england and wales will see a few of we are committed to processing each refund at the earliest those heavy showers, the odd opportunity, but, in some thunderstorm. not as frequent as cases, this may take up they will be today. temperatures to a maximum of 120 days. we are making every effort to reduce this timeframe. tomorrow, 17—23 celsius, windy and fortunately this story wet for many on monday, but things has a happy ending. since speaking to us, ollie, turning drier and warmer, nick and the group have particularly in the south, as we got their money back. head through the coming week. but the refund fiasco has created a new industry, helping just briefly, we were talking about passengers get their money back from airlines in return for a slice of the proceeds. guidelines for shielding. just briefly, we were talking about guidelines forshielding. i just briefly, we were talking about guidelines for shielding. i said, from the 1st of august, shield us have been told they can refer to a german company called where everyone else is, but there is flight right has brought a lawsuit over unpaid refunds advice for an in between stage. i against a number of international airlines, got wrong, sorry, the advice of a including lufthansa and klm. doubt is for people who are oscar, have you got any shielding now but can go outdoors idea how much, globally, now. that is the current advice now. is owed to passengers whose flights were cancelled ? as of the 1st of august, i think it is really an it's pretty much as for the rest of unprecedented amount. hours but i will check. i will of course we do not know
6:53 am
it on a global scale, check. thank you to matthew who but in germany, there is over 1 billion euros of refunds pointed that out on twitter. make owed, and if you then sure we get that right. extrapolate this to other countries, it means that many of us have had in europe we are talking to adapt to working about multiple billions of ticket refunds owed from home during lockdown, to the customers. but if that's set to continue, how do you fancy a bit of a change of scene? today, applications open surely, then, this is an extraordinary time. for people to live and work airlines have made redundant in barbados for a year. you just have to have cash thousands of workers. in the bank and be covid—free, they have no cash coming in — as simon browning reports. shouldn't they be given a little leniency? so, in our opinion, this leniency is up to the customer. look at it. blue sea, golden sands, now, the customer has entered the last few months have been tough, into a contract with these but would you swap all of this airlines and, if they want to act as a kind of micro—loan, as a bank, for the airlines, for a year working there? then it is up to them, but on the other hand, the government there is being very if you just say it is just my clever and who can blame them when it looks like this? money, and i don't want to give and with the newer global collapse you a loan, then it is up to the customer to get of tourism and a surge the money back as soon in remote working, its never as the law is able to looked so attractive. give it back to them. one of the other airlines in oscar's sights is ryanair, —— near. a little bit of cloud, the biggest budget airline in but it is quite nice europe. here in barbados today. there is no shortage of people out there who are a few of my dogs hanging out trying to make money
6:54 am
here by the pool and, yeah, on the back of airlines. all that's going to happen i cannot recommend it enough. to the customer is, they will wait just as long and they won't get the full refund, because these claims harvesters will take a piece for themselves. maurice has been working remotely so why is it proving in barbados for 20 years. so difficult to give this is the space customers their money back? outside his office. it's value. it's not a bad view. so, obviously, the lure of barbados is that beautiful water we have in excess of 20 million and those amazing beaches. passengers to deal with. how much does the beach play apart in your life, day—to—day? not a lot, to be honest. we are making our way through that. what? a lot less then... we are, in excess of i mean, my kids probably go 750 million euros now to the beach more than i do, of vouchers, cash refunds, but if i'm looking at what i do or flight changes. in my it's more golf. but the important issue is, i'm involved in all the sports. everybody who wants their money back will get it back. it is just taking some time. so, what's the catch for a living here in paradise? the head of the aviation well, you're going to need about £1500 for the visa if you're trade association, iata, goes further, saying that on your own and about £2500 delaying passenger refunds is vital for for the visa if you are a family and it is valid for a year, the industry's cash flow. butjust imagine all those zoom it is a matter of survival for us, and the cash calls, shirt on top but you're position, the cash crisis, always beach ready below. that we are facing is probably
6:55 am
right now, people want, those people the most urgent and the most who haven't done a gap year, now that they've got the opportunity difficult part of our situation to work remotely, it's a fantastic opportunity for that. currently, so we are conscious i think that we will get a lot of, how can i qualify, the help of millennial families as well, people who want a safer environment we are asking passengers for. for their kids and we also will have it would be nice to share the burden, those people who probably if you want us to survive. are at retirement age and are looking to do something which is also bit different. barbados isn't the only country the airlines say that if the refund rules offering a scheme like this. were enforced to the letter, bermuda and chile have done similar they would simply close down, to everyone's detriment. things because countries that rely but one possible outcome on the income of tourists have been is that your airfare crippled by coronavirus. could be held in trust — once you have touched tourism is the leading sector down safely, the airline in the barbados economy, gets your money or, accounting for an estimated 40% if the flight is cancelled, you get the cash back. of total income. worse for the airline's cash i think most companies have now been forced to accept the fact that flow, better for yours. remote working is a possibility. so, is it possible for us all to just leave our offices behind and decamp to remote spaces and places? i think the reason unique and captivating, people live in cities, a large part of the reason venice is a dream destination is because of proximity for the millions of tourists to cinemas and events, who fill its narrow theatre and those kind of things
6:56 am
streets every summer, but also because it is close to work. but in recent years, when that link is untied, mass tourism has driven up people can make a different choice rents and driven out locals and people, ithink, the leaving some to call the city will choose to live out in villages and pretty much wherever a historical theme park. there is fast internet. only 55,000 people call this if one of your team asked to apply place home, but over 26 million to go to barbados, what would you people arrive here each year and whilst the newly—empty streets say? we are lucky, remote wall -- have been a welcome breather remote working has been part of our for some, culture, we already have people in they have been absolutely distant places, so it would work catastrophic for others. another business that has well for us. the application process always relied on venice's steady flow of visitors is now open, and indie stuff times, we can all fa ntasise is the iconic cafe florian, is now open, and indie stuff times, we can all fantasise about moving to paradise. if you play it right, you one of the oldest cafes in the world, and was due could be bouncing all the to to celebrate its 300th anniversary this year. barbados. lot in barbados, given the choice he how much down are you on business — 50, 60%? would have gone over there to do it, i would say, 70%. as much as that. but sadly he was in front of a green venice relies on tourists. scheme. it is going initially well no tourists, no life in venice. so far, the application. —— green
6:57 am
those who complain, what shall screen. coming up in the next half hour... we do without tourists? they're normally home to garden tools, for some people their shed has become a sanctuary during lockdown. now, a good proportion we'll find out how that's changed this year's shortlist of the clientele here come for shed of the year. straight from the cruise liners. you've been sending us in your shed in total, those ships account for about 1.5 million pictures all morning. extra visitors every year, katie from bottesford but not everyone here is delighted to see them. in nottinghamshire sent in a picture of her "gin shed". it's called katie's cabin and was built by her husband the recent pause in tourism as a 40th birthday present. provided by the pandemic has fuelled local protests calling for the government to it has a retro cocktail cabinet, seize the moment to turn electricity and heating so it can be used all year round. the tide on mass tourism. dr who fans will like this one. peter sent in a photo of his shed that's been decked out aline is part of a network of over as a full size tardis. 3000 venetian residents campaigning to protect the heritage of their city. we will have to find out for later. do you think about the cruise liners? do you see a huge difference or a change during the pandemic because they were no longer huge on the inside, small on the
6:58 am
allowed to come here? yes, yes, of course, without them, outside. we have hot tarp sheds as the air was completely more clear, more fresh. well. imagine that. stay weathered, more light. headlines are under way. —— stay but the cruise ships bring a lot of people who must bring money to the city. with us. not so much. people who stay in the cruise ships, they sleep there, they buy some cheap souvenirs, all for! euro. if there are something you don't like, you have to fight to change it. another venetian doing just that is valeria, founder of venezia autentica, who has created a platform urging tourists to spend their money in the right places and preserve the local culture of venice. how much of an opportunity do you think venice now has to restart tourism
6:59 am

7:06 am
more details about the government's that the government didn't fully obesity strategy are understand the coronavirus expected next week. in the first few weeks and months of the pandemic and that things it's thought they will include new restrictions on howjunk food could have been done differently. is promoted and advertised. speaking to the bbc‘s political editor, laura kuenssberg, the prime minister said that there are still very open the duke and duchess of sussex have questions to be answered about whether the lockdown in the uk distanced themselves from a book came too late. which claims to give a detailed account of a breakdown in their relations with other when you look back at this crisis, members of the royal family. the book, finding freedom — everybody can see that this being serialised by the times — suggests harry and meghan had was something that was new, that we didn't understand in the way felt their complaints weren't that we would have liked being taken seriously. in the first few weeks and months a spokesman for the duke and duchess said they hadn't been interviewed and i think probably, you know, or contributed to the book. the single thing that we didn't see at the beginning was the extent to which it was being boris johnson has admitted that the government didn't fully transmitted asymptomatically understand the coronavirus in the first few weeks and months from person to person. of the pandemic and that things that wasn't clear could have been done differently. to us or to anybody. speaking to the bbc‘s political editor, laura kuenssberg, let's speak to our political the prime minister said that there are still "very open questions" to be answered correspondent, helen catt. about whether the lockdown in the uk came too late. when you look back at this crisis, everybody can see that this this seems like a carefully kightly
7:07 am
was something that was new, did admission for the first time that we didn't understand in the way that mistakes have been made. that we would have liked it is the furthest that the prime minister has done is suggesting in the first few weeks and months things could have been done and i think probably, you know, differently when it comes to coronavirus. for a long time the the single thing that we didn't see government was clear it took the right steps at the right time. boris at the beginning was the extent to which it was being johnson's words there seem to open transmitted asymptomatically the door, he said there were open from person to person. that wasn't clear questions around things like timing of the lockdown, particularly around to us or to anybody. those first few weeks and months, as he put it, which is where a lot of let's speak to our political the scrutiny and the focus is at the moment, certainly when it comes to looking at timing of going into correspondent helen catt. lockdown. when it comes to looking at what then went on to developing helen, interesting this interview that came out late yesterday —— when it went on to looking at what went on in care homes. afternoon, seemingly the first time the prime minister has kind of acknowledged publicly that things labour says this is an admission by might not have been done perfectly gamut that it mishandled its all the way along. yes, this is the response to the coronavirus, it was furthest i think that the prime too slow to acknowledge the threat, minister has gone so far in too slow to acknowledge the threat, acknowledging that things might not too slow to take the crisis seriously. you also heard boris have gone to plan, so the government johnson in that interview saying line for a very long time was that they took the right steps at the this is not the time for an inquiry. right time. his comments there seem there is a feeling in westminster
7:08 am
that one of those is inevitable at to suggest a change in tone perhaps, some point but borisjohnson very clear that now is not the time, we a shift in tone, and he also says in are not through it yet, they could that interview that there are open bea are not through it yet, they could be a resurgence of cases in the questions about some of the timing such as when we went into lockdown winter. the key thing for the moment and that is important because there isa is, it has the government learnt and that is important because there is a huge amount of scrutiny about from those few weeks that it thinks what happened in those first few there are things that should have weeks. did the government acts quickly enough on things like going done differently and how it will into lockdown and certainly about its actions in terms of homes and apply them going forward. what went on to develop their commerce or there is a large amount of scrutiny on those first few we were talking about those who were weeks. the one thing that boris johnson was absolutely clear on is shielding. the rules and guidelines that he does not believe that now is change next week. talking about the time to go back and look at that england specifically. as of next ina big the time to go back and look at that in a big inquiry even though i think there is a sense in westminster that one of those will come at some saturday, i confused the picture point, borisjohnson earlier on by leaving out the one of those will come at some point, boris johnson is one of those will come at some point, borisjohnson is adamant that now is not the time because, as he current guidelines for people who are shielding. just a brief summary says, we are not through this yet, of what that means if you are there could be another spike in the shielding and how things change. winter so we should not look at it as if it is past. labour say this is it's means there will be an automatic stop to automatic medicine an admission by borisjohnson that deliveries and food. however policy the government had mishandled its response to the coronavirus. the shadow health secretary said it was responders will continue delivering too slow to acknowledge the threat

7:25 am
the normal 160. including liverpool, let us talk to former olympian and manchester and bath. let's get an idea of the difficulties of policing this type of event. world champion. sir peter fahy is a former chief constable of both cheshire and greater manchester police. good morning. we know that it very how much do you miss swimming? much depends on the circumstances whether the police can effectively during this locked—in period i have close these things down. the footage massively missed swimming. it is something i have loved doing. when i we saw there, and urban area, street lighting, the metropolitan police got injured in afghanistan my area big lighting, the metropolitan police are a big force, perhaps it easier to deal with that than it would be physical rehabilitation as well as to deal with that than it would be to go toa to deal with that than it would be to go to a field somewhere in psychologically, swimming was my go somerset. yes, the real challenge in to. if i had a bad day i could go the inner cities is the real problem into the swimming pool. not having in terms of concentration of people, street furniture, families potentially there, people having that was very difficult. how did it missiles available for those who wa nt to missiles available for those who affect you during lockdown? like want to use violence, but the metropolitan force can gather those eve ryo ne affect you during lockdown? like officers to deal with that. in rural everyone it has affected people in different ways. i lost my father forces, with the sorts of challenges, it is quite hard when last year and was trying to help my
7:26 am
officers are spread thinly for them mum through. also coping with the to be gathered in sufficient numbers to be gathered in sufficient numbers to deal with it and, absolutely, as lockdown. for me it has been you say, we are dealing with places building up. not having this release from it, i have struggled. a lot of that are unlit, unfamiliar, very challenging for the officers, but these have to be dealt with. there people think this should have are happened earlier. the chlorine in these have to be dealt with. there a re lots of these have to be dealt with. there are lots of completes from local residents, they are clearly illegal under the legislation about events the pool has been increased. there and raves, but also they are clearly illegal under regulations on isa the pool has been increased. there is a lot of chlorine in the air. covid—19 and public gatherings.|j interviewed covid—19 and public gatherings.” interviewed the chief constable of swimming is are the safest places somerset about the bath countryside you can be. pubs have opened up and not long ago and they turned up, so what was going on and stood back to say there was nothing they could do swimming pools did not, ifound you can be. pubs have opened up and swimming pools did not, i found that with the numbers they had and the interesting. from a mental health point of view, swimming, and a geography they were dealing with air. do you accept... and there was criticism of that as well, but do you accept that for some police, physical point of view, it is they just have to you accept that for some police, theyjust have to stand and watch important people are back in here and make sure it is safe? yes, today. only 20% of pools are opening absolutely. i have been in that situation myself, particularly in today. only 20% of pools are opening more ruralforces. it is a huge today. i'd obviously only in england. it already have the effort when officers are already northern ireland but not yet in stretched to deal with an event that scotla nd northern ireland but not yet in scotland and wales. what do you make is already up and running and the
7:27 am
danger is that you could create more of the social distancing measures? injury, more disorder by trying to break it up about, on the other what happens in the actual pool with hand, where events have been allowed a one—way system. to carry on, there have been violence, they have been people what happens in the actual pool with a one-way system. as long as you give people guidelines, put the stabbed, and women was raped at an responsibility on them, and they eventin stabbed, and women was raped at an event in greater manchester, so it isa know that meat is going to be, so event in greater manchester, so it is a real challenge for the police and they are under huge pressure you can turn at changed already, let from local residents, councils and from local residents, councils and from the fact that the public will look at this and say it is a brazen you can turn at changed already, let breach of the law and the police you know the way it is going to be. should be doing something. to an extent, given the lifting of lockdown, but still the closure of night clubs, are these kind of it is completely safe sterile place events almost inevitable? should be have predicted it and plan for it perhaps? i think the police have to be. you need to give seen this all the way through responsibility to people and hopefully they adhere to it and lockdown. hundreds of parties and that's what they do. houses, but these are thinly spread, as you say. nightclubs are closed, normal dance venues and houses, but these are thinly spread, as you say. n ig htclu bs these are thinly spread, as you say. nightclubs are closed, normal dance venues nightclubs are closed, normal dance venues under public festivals usually around the country at the moment are closed. people are how important is this for swimmers clearly making money out of this through selling alcohol and drugs who have a physical disability who and itjust
7:28 am
through selling alcohol and drugs and it just adds compete, in terms of doing this through selling alcohol and drugs and itjust adds to the danger and difficulty for the officers involved. the really difficult sport? having a disability, swimming situations in some areas, tensions is one of the main thing is for and emotions are heightened because people with a disability stop there of the impact of the black lives matter demonstration saw some animosity has been created so it's a are much more serious disabilities. huge pressure for the police which is why it is really important that anyone who has information about who a lot of people with disabilities has been organising these can pass this onto the police and they can try to get in early and break them up try to get in early and break them upfor try to get in early and break them up for big crowds gather and it cannot run, go for a walk, cycle. becomes much more difficult. we know, as you mentioned, that police officers have been injured in having the swimming pool reopened as dealing with these incidents and a godsend. and important in terms of police officers put themselves at risk everyday in the course of their rehabilitation? yes. it is proven jobs with that illustrated so vividly with the tragedy of the loss of life of pc harper, the trial of that being healthier will help you the young men accused of his murder ended yesterday with a manslaughter conviction and his widow has been fight covid—19. health and fitness absolutely clear about how is one of the most important thing disappointed she was with the outcome of that trial. do you share is one of the most important thing is that everyone should be doing that frustration? yes, i think so, right now.
7:29 am
thank you. are you coming in with me absolutely. i think the prosecution clearly argued that any driver ina bit? thank you. are you coming in with me in a bit? i have always got my trunks on. we will book our slot. dragging a 6—foot man behind their car would know about it. there has clearly been some concern about potential intimidation of the jury which thejudge has then finally, getting back into the potential intimidation of the jury which the judge has tried to deal with. all that has added to the pain water after all these months, since of the family and, no doubt, their huge frustration at the verdict and march. this is very important, it isa huge frustration at the verdict and it is a sign of what the families of especially with the weather. indoor officers killed on duty have to go pools like this, such an important through. actually this weekend would have been the gathering of all the pa rt pools like this, such an important part of a physical and mental families of officers killed on duty at the national memorial arboretum health. in staffordshire which had to be counsel because i first met, but the idea of getting back into the this case has caused enormous pain and tragedy for the family of pc pool the idea of getting back into the pool, there is a thought. who knows? harper, but many other families of before ten o'clock. coming up in the next half hour. officers killed on duty is will find we might be this brings it all back and added to missing the tokyo games that the huge frustrations about the at the moment, but we can still look verdict and the pain and the fact back on some great olympic moments. we'll be joined by sir steve redgrave and gabby logan. the trial had to be halted and stay with us, headlines coming up. started again due to disruption from covid—19 and just the impact of
7:30 am
clearly utterly lawless people and this callous criminality that many police officers will absolutely recognise in this case. thank you very much for talking to us about those illegal raves and the murder trial of pc harper. sir peter would have been in charge at the time that officers nicola hughes and fiona bo we re officers nicola hughes and fiona bo were both murdered as part of the greater manchester police force. we are going to talk to the father of nicola hughes. yes, to get the family's perspective on the aftermath of what happened at the old bailey yesterday. it is the list of countries that require quarantine after a visit has been changed, but what are your rights if you're heading on holiday? we'll find out just after eight. hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and rachel burden. let's get a summary of this morning's main news.

7:43 am
which was the inspiration olympics. the one date missing from for building it as you see it today. all of this is 1996, but a brilliant hut house was a birthday gift from colin to his wife gail. i knew, when i said moment then, you were the only ones, "can i have a shed", i wasn't going to get something ordinary, shall we say? yourself and matt pinsent, the i certainly didn't expect it to be moment when you said, fifa get in a quite as interesting as this. but i absolutely love it. boat again, shoot me. by some we use it for a lot more than a potting shed, really. people's measure, that should be on it is a good place to come this list. overall, it was quite and sit and to contemplate, especially with everything that has been going on. said games the british team. it has been a really nice time here. then there's the makers, obviously format and myself, it was building and inventing like youtuber colin from lincolnshire. special. but that was the turning the inventor of his home—made hover bike. point. but tell that time, five and a high—voltage ejector bed. olympics before that, great britain won five gold medals, so that was just seen to be acceptable. after at lantau, there was big changes, good morning, bbc breakfast viewers, bigger infrastructure changes, we have got the lathe area, saying we could do better, and we have got a workbench, bidding for 2012 and getting it made we have got the welding table, and drawers full of all sorts a huge difference. the success of of bits and bobs, we have got this 2012 and most of the people on the we have got this section, we have a shearer, list from that is notjust about

7:47 am
grey skies for many today. yes, a whether that amazing rivalry with nlf export also ignited something in cloudy picture, unsettled conditions heading through the weekend. this is you, that competitive spirit. 1980, the picture in eastbourne this quite a disappointing for myself, i morning. many of us have similar was 18, the crew i was in gained conditions. drizzle and rain coming selection to go to moscow to raise, out of that cloud. that sums up today. fairly cloudy. rain at times because of the financial climate, and potentially thundery later on, the political problems we were but there will be some drier weather having, money was reduced, so we had with a glimpse of blue sky to be a stay—at—home is a groove. we would enjoyed as well today. low pressure driving the weather, sitting to the not have been a finalised at that north—west of the uk, some showers time, so that is still hurts me a wrapping around that area of low little bit, but i remember all those pressure and pushing their way memories. i watched every second of eastwards on a cold front. the it on tv, wishing that i was going heaviest rain this morning across parts of scotland. later the focus to be there. certainly made up for of the heaviest downpours will be that disappointment after that further south across england and wales, we can see some thundery rain point. it could have been a six. moving in across the isle of wight obviously working on the television and the southeast later this as steve does now, for me, no one afternoon. thunderstorms are possible through parts of wales and ca res as steve does now, for me, no one cares what i think, but 1988, lincolnshire, northern ireland also remember watching great britain beat seeing some heavy showers and pantry germany in the men's hockey final,
7:48 am
downpours and some hail. much of northern england and scotland seeing some slightly drier weather with because it was a newsagent where i lots of sunshine, but hit and miss grew up who scored the goal. but with some heavy downpours. barry davies's brilliant bit of temperatures between 18—21, for most commentary, where were the germans, of us, we could see 23 degrees and frankly who cares? things like towards east anglia and that that state. it is, and that lincolnshire. tonight the heaviest rain starts to clear to the east. clearing skies over night. still men's hockey success, that lead to more investment in the sport and we relatively —— still relatively mild with temperatures in double figures. saw the women, in 2016. those we will wake up tomorrow in a way of moments are remembered for iconic, blue skies and sunshine than today, tree—lined but also so important, still some blustery showers because though successes, for the there is no pressure is not far development of those sports. a lot away. some showers for the west of of people forget that a lot of olympic sports people are not scotland. later in the day some of them popping up across parts of furloughed, they do not have a job england and wales as well but not as to go back to, so they are missing many as today. it will feel fresher, out on competition, missing out on being able to develop relationships with some sunshine to come. top with their brands and people who can sponsor them, so it these are hard times for those sports people, not temperatures, 16—22, and things should turn warmer as we head so because they are not competing through next week. but because of the opportunity to earn a living and be able to keep time now for click. doing this. they are missing out on
7:49 am
all sorts and hopefully this we will be back at eight o'clock. programme today will be a way of just remembering some of those fantastic moments add waiting the appetite for the year to come. fantastic moments add waiting the appetite for the year to comem has been disruptive for all those athletes preparing for this summer, what are your thoughts, 12 months a long time, and we have seen what has hey, welcome to click. happened in the last six, his hard to predict where we will be next now, as more and more places year, but how confident are you we start to open up here in the uk will be able to put on an event like there are some people the olympics, pulling in people from who are starting to think all over the world? obviously about whether travelling there's a lot of doubt, a lot of or going abroad for a summer holiday is a possibility, and is safe. and that's why today, countries suffering really badly, as lara is not at home, she is at an airport. every country as almost suffered extremely badly with covid—19, we after months in isolation, seem to be any settling point at the the idea of coming to a bustling airport, moment but i countries are in dire let alone getting on an actual plane can be slightly unnerving. here at heathrow things issues. there is always doubt but we are much quieter than usual, have a plan that they will be an but they are doing everything they can to try and make olympic games and we will be able to the place covid—safe, with a fair bit of help from technology. compete. the athletes themselves let's go and take a look.
7:50 am
would have gone through harder times the last six months than actually where we are now, they can focus these robots were previously pretty clearly where we are, but used to kill off hospital—acquired infection, but now there is one in each terminal, circumstances change, because those athletes that would have been deployed to disinfect. favourites of winning gold medals this time out in tokyo, in 12 mapping its route and focusing on the most common touch points. months' time they might not be in the same situation. other athletes it uses uvc light, and viruses don't have an immune have the opportunity to close that system to uvc, and that, in effect, stops it from replicating 93p- have the opportunity to close that gap. it changes the light, if we are and kills the virus. able to compete and stage games. we the only way we could safely see it lit up and working though was through the window of this conference room. just have to keep our fingers crossed. thank you so much for there is a good reason we couldn't go in, talking to us this morning, steve for the first few seconds that it is on, the room smells redgrave and gabby logan. the of burning skin, apparently. that's just from anything programmers are later today. 1:15pm. that may be laying around in the office. they will both be off to the limbic so, to avoid any nasty burns, it needs to get its work done centre in london and they might like when no—one is around. to see mike rekindling his love of its motion and vibration sensors double—checking the swimming pool. but before that, that no—one has appeared unexpectedly. let's get the weather. i bitten next but at least
7:51 am
it is pretty speedy. out there for the course of the in the airport here, weekend. i'm settled, we will have this robot can disinfect 18,000 outbreaks of rain, but no rainbows square metres in a space of two and a half hours. without that. west yorkshire at the it disinfects, not cleans, so it is nice to send this moment, plenty of showers already. into say a washroom, disinfect it, then it is safe mainly cloudy with showers, for the cleaning staff to go in, then they can clean. in an airport it is notjust thunderstorms at times. what a about cleaning overnight. difference a year makes. last year, a place like this is usually pretty busy and that means that people's hands going on the same surfaces on this day, the highest temperature quite a lot, especially ever recorded in the uk, recorded in somewhere like an escalator. the solution here could cambridge, 38.7 celsius. most of us also lie in a uv light. this escalator has been retrofitted with one are 20 degrees cooler today because underneath the belt, so it means that every we have a draw in aid from the west, time it goes round, it is being sanitised. cooler, fresher behind this cold front. that front bringing spells of and the whole route we take through the airport seems to persistent rain later. the showers have been carefully considered. stickers on lift buttons, happen heavy across parts of wrappers on escalator handles, scotland, they should start to ease so think about your antibacterial spray a little earth the next few hours, but from a virus point of view. and the cloud will break up. sunny spells, further showers building
7:52 am
you wrap that around into the afternoon. southern and the escalator handle and it basically gives you several months of virus—free south—eastern england, the rain touching, and what we do could be heavy, thunderstorms is we have a technical check likely, some persistent rain. green that we can make, our colour showing where we will see the biotechnicians do this heavier bursts. it had to miss, on a regular basis to see what the viral load is on those further north, further south. do not touch points, they can make sure that that wrapper ta ke further north, further south. do not is working and fully take their position to literally. dry weather across parts of northern functional. it is used in a number england and northern ireland, further heavy showers putting in of different places. here. eastern scotland holding onto we have them on lift buttons, escalators and also importantly heavy showers and thunderstorms. on trolley handles. there is also mandatory mask temperatures, 60—24 c, warmest wearing, and other safety towards the east. as the third test features are being trialled, like this camera continues, little bit of rain, but detection system tracking it will be coming and going. —— people's temperatures. the only thing that seems to be missing right now is, somewhat 16-24. it will be coming and going. —— 16—24. tomorrow dry. losing the unsurprisingly, the passengers. heavier bursts of rain, preaching to the east this evening and overnight, turning drier and quieter as we start sunday. fairly mild with temperatures in the mid teens first google's pixel buds have finally come to the uk thing. more blue sky and sunshine this week, nine months tomorrow compared to today about low after they were first announced.
7:53 am
pressure still not far away, sitting so, i've been seeing how to the far north, heavy showers they stack up next to some other big brand wireless rotating around a low pressure, earphones. pushing into parts of western apple's airpods pro and the scotland. elsewhere one or two channels for northern ireland, snappily—titled sony wf1000 xm3s. i am wearing the pixel buds during the afternoon a feud cropping now, and google has designed up during the afternoon a feud cropping up across england and wales, fairly them to lie flat in your ears, so they have a low profile, hit had to miss. quite blustery, which i appreciate, because you don't catch them if you are taking off fresher than recently. temperatures your shirt or if you are wearing a hat. all three of these come with a case that 90-23 fresher than recently. temperatures 90 — 23 celsius. cooler where you recharges your earbuds. google's is designed to look like a stone, which is very nice, and it fits are exposed to the breeze. ——19—23. in that tiny extra pocket in yourjeans. sony's case is the outlier, because it's high pressure building, a little bit comparatively huge. drier warmer, especially in the i'm not a big fan of this south as we head through next week. rose gold effect lid, because the paint has started to chip off. mike has been at the the big question of course london aquatics centre for us this morning, is, how do they sound? as pools in england prepare to reopen today. i was never the sort he's been talking to people of person to spend about £200 on a pair of headphones. as they go for their first dip since lockdown, and now until about two years ago my boss convinced me to buy these, because the audio quality it might be his turn and the noise cancellation were outstanding. and i never regretted it, still it might be his turn got his start on. because i wore them every day on the way to work, on flights, things like that. still it might be his turn got his start onm still it might be his turn got his start on. so excited, unusually still got his start on. so excited,
7:54 am
and the sony in—ear unusually i have bypassed the buds come fairly close to that sound quality. changing room, new rules, new safety when i got the airpods pro, protocol to make sure people do not i was disappointed, because they cost more than any congregate around those lockers and of these other headphones. cubicles. you bring all your club but they just didn't sound as good. are in the one—way system, past everything sounded a little bit duller. the pixel buds probably ran somewhere in between in terms those cubicles and changing rooms of audio richness, but there and to the pool. any moment, i can is a problem with these. see a sign that says, i have two, whatever i'm listening to, whether it's spoken word yes, or music, there is a low level, see a sign that says, i have two, yes , re m ove see a sign that says, i have two, yes, remove my shoes before quiet hissing noise entering. well undo the laces. for the entire time, almost like you are listening to songs my venue entering. well undo the laces. for my venue of the live pigs in 2012, a on a cassette tape rather than a clean digital copy. it's and it's most noticeable special swimming pool. now an if you are listening to music in bed at low volume. important community centre, 1 million people visit every year, and not everyone can hear it. for the first time since march people have been able to get back in my housemate couldn't hear the hissing noise but i could, and so could lots of other the pool and are enjoying their people complaining on the google message boards. swims. swimming lessons will not for a sound product, begin until september, they will that's a fundamental problem. another weird thing ease people back gradually. let's talk to some of the swimmers. look about the pixel buds at this speed. quite experienced is that they don't have noise cancellation, and the sonys and airpods pro both have really good noise cancelling for something so small. swimmers. 4000 children have the pixel buds are at the end of the price scale where
7:55 am
swimming lessons here, 600 on the i would expect to have it. here is a quick look at some dive programme which starts on of the other features. monday, diving on the boards once the sonys come out top again. he was the coach, joe. for battery life, and i've never had a problem with any of these running out, impressive technique. what is it mean to have this back and how is it because they all recharge when you put them back in the case, the pixel buds and airpods pro have the added working? it feels magnificent. it is bonus of a wireless charging case, and both of them are also sweat—resistant, something i have missed so much. while the sonys are not, although i used to wear them they have ta ken something i have missed so much. at the gym all the time, they have taken a lot of trouble to make sure it is working properly, and they haven't broken yet. one little thing i'm really double size lanes, fewer people, and glad that the pixel buds get right is that they play the low battery noise at the same volume as the music you've been it is better. we have more space for listening to, which is really important if you are swimmers who have to get used to the trying to fall asleep. for some reason i cannot understand, the airpods pro play a really loud low battery newer way of doing it. but it is noise, even if you are playing music at the quietest volume and so many times, fantastic to be back. no facemask i've fallen asleep with these because we are socially distant in, and then suddenly... thing, that is very important. boop, boop, boop! cyril, how are you finding it? you it makes me jump out of my skin every time. area cyril, how are you finding it? you apple, please fix this! are a regular swimmer. it is kind of but that is a small issue weird, because we have not been compared to the hissing doing for a long time. our bodies on the pixel buds. google says the hissing is rare, and it will fix it are adjusting to the water. how with a software update, but these first came important is it for you in your
7:56 am
out in the us in april and it's still not fixed, now, are you counting down life, physically and mentally? important is it for you in your life, physically and mentally7m important is it for you in your to the next generation of video life, physically and mentally? it is really important, because most children have been at home for quite games consoles and will you be team xbox or team playstation? a while, so going out swimming is that decision often rests on the exclusive really good for you. how have you games and franchises that each offers. found the measures of safety the sony line—up for the ps5 protocol, a bit more space?m has achieved universal acclaim found the measures of safety protocol, a bit more space? it is kind of good. sometimes it can get a from the gaming community bit weird. i will let you get back. but nothing xbox has revealed has set pulses racing, daniel, dinard. iwill fight but all that could be bit weird. i will let you get back. daniel, dinard. i will fight my way about to change, thanks —— five mile lane over there. excuse to the biggest franchise xbox has, halo. me, you put yourself in a bit of space by the side of the pool. i will put the microphone down now, ta ke will put the microphone down now, take my trousers are, and this is marc cieslak has been what you are meant to do, get finding out more. halo hero the master chief changed by the side of the pool. i is xbox's not so secret weapon in the next generation console showdown with playstation. the new game, halo infinite, am going to get in the pool deliberately i double move the has action centred around microphone start trousers coming on. the master chief, now battling a foe called asheron, we don't want to see that. the
7:57 am
tackling a bad—tempered space bad guy who leads the distinctly trousers are aft, microphone. i want to keep the shirt on for decency, unfriendly—sounding banished. you might still be having your i sat down with bonnie ross, brea kfast. head of all things halo at microsoft and phil spencer, you might still be having your breakfast. there he goes. one, two, head of xbox, to talk about the three. neely mr big moment. good master chief's first next gen outing. as far as the next gen consoles are concerned is it that dive. nicely done. the reason mike graphics so sharp you can see has done that, can we quickly show sweat on the brow of an alien before you dispatch them, with zero load times, or is there more the footage from brisbane? this was to it than that? obviously you have got ten the footage from brisbane? this was the famous thing that made mike famous throughout the world as he times the processing power, prepared to interview the commonwealth games swimmers and but for us it is about failing. good to see him back in the the universe, and the suspension of disbelief. pool failing. good to see him back in the pool. and this time intentionally. we have spoken before notjust in halo but in video he has made it. i think he is quite games about how agency, player choice, is one enjoying it. well done. that's all from us this morning. of those things that really breakfast will be back connects you to the story. tomorrow morning from six. you now have more choice have a lovely day, goodbye. in the decisions that you make as master chief, which i do think, in the long run, it is a mechanism
7:58 am
