and social distancing measures. some have warned they can't afford to restart because of the financial impact of the pandemic. elsewhere — there are fears that a second wave of coronavirus could be imminent in spain. officials in catalonia have ordered the closure of all nightclubs after a surge in infections. the situation there has caused concern in france, which has warned citizens not to travel to catalonia. and south korea has seen its biggest one—day increase in coronavirus cases for three months. 113 new infections were reported on saturday — the highest number since the end of march. with our first report on the reopening of gyms, here'sjon donnison. forfour months, gyms, pools and leisure centres have laid idle. from today in england, they can reopen their doors, but with strict hygiene and social distancing measures in place. liz and phil gabriel run the key health club in keyworth near nottingham. they say the key to survival will be making people feel confident

it's safe to work out. we are very lucky. we have a very loyal but small membership base, so 20% of our members have paid throughout, which for us is phenomenal and we will be forever grateful for those people, but 40% have cancelled and 40% froze their membership, so i think the trick will be really as to who actually comes back and how quickly we get them back. but under new rules, they will have to limit the numbers. customers will have to make an advanced booking. they will be encouraged to change and shower at home, not in changing rooms, and equipment will be spaced out and it's thought a third of gyms and leisure centres in england, including those run by local councils, will remain closed over fears about financial viability. the local government association says without more government support, tens of thousands ofjobs could be at risk. in blackburn, phil talbot had been getting ready to reopen, but not any more after the council delayed easing lockdown

restrictions because of a spike in coronavirus cases. it is so frustrating, frustrating for me, for the industry and for the people who come here as well, who rely on places like this for their mental as well as physical well—being. and in scotland and wales, indoor gyms and pools remain closed, although in northern ireland, they have already reopened. after examining existing studies, experts say being obese or overweight puts you at greater risk of serious illness or death from covid—i9. the review of evidence by public health england found being severely obese increases your chance of dying by a0%. lockdown‘s brought new challenges for those struggling with their weight. the chance for more daily exercise, but the constant temptation to snack. now public health england says the case for action on obesity has

never been stronger. losing weight can bring huge benefits for health and may also protect against the risk of severe complications from covid—i9. after a review of the evidence, it's found that coronavirus patients with obesity are much more likely to become critically ill or die than those with a healthier body weight. professor susan jebb at the university of oxford says the bigger you are, the bigger the risk. being overweight increases the chances of insulin resistance, it puts up your blood pressure and all of these extra pressures and strains on the body are likely to be part of the reason why people, when they contract covid—i9, if they are also overweight, have these extra chances of being really sick. nearly two thirds of adults in the uk are heavier than they should be. if everyone were to lose a few pounds, this could have a big effect on reducing our overall risk, but many people need help and support to lose weight. the report calls for government action on curbing obesity. we know that people have

the intention to improve things, but you get tripped up all the time. you go through a checkout and you often are faced with bars of chocolate on special offer, for example, and those undermine what you intend to do, so we know that people need help. more details about the government's obesity strategy are expected next week. it's thought they will include new restrictions on howjunk food is promoted and advertised. there are fears a second wave of coronavirus is taking hold in spain. authorities in the north—eastern region of catalonia have reacted by ordering all nightclubs to close down againjust a ordering all nightclubs to close down again just a month after a night life returned to normal following strict lockdown. the situation has prompted france to advise its citizens not to travel over the border to catalonia because of the spike. paul hawkins reports. the beach in barcelona,

the capital of catalonia. working out, even though this sign says sports facilities cannot be used. dining out but little evidence of social distancing. there are fewer people here and in the famous las ramblas compared to last year. and those that are out are wearing their mandatory masks. translation: you can tell that the spanish follow the rule on wearing the masks more. in belgium it is not so mandatory. here i see that everyone is wearing it. i think that people follow the rules and the rules are a little more rigid here. but not everyone it seems is following the authority's advice a week ago to stay at home unless absolutely necessary. that's because catalonia has seen 8000 new coronavirus cases in the past two weeks. that's half of spain's new cases over the same period. while here in aragon, another spanish region next to catalonia doctors have seen a surge in new cases too.

translation: yes, we are under pressure because the icus are very full. we have one free bed for any patient that might need intensive care. that is why the french government has issued this advice. translation: concerning the situation in catalonia which is displaying worsened indicators for infection where as you know the health indicators are deteriorating we strongly encourage french citizens to avoid going there until the health situation improves. we are in discussion with spanish and catalonia authorities so that the flow of travellers in the other direction will be as limited as possible. which isn't good news for the catalan tourist industry. the region in north—west spain shares an open border with france. last year almost a fifth of its tourists were french, making up 19.3 million visitors to catalonia in 2019. that's more than any

other spanish region. as if that wasn't bad enough, norway has also announced a ten day quarantine for anyone returning from spain. catalonia's nightlife has been blamed for the rise in new infections. from today all nightclubs, discos and event halls are closed for two weeks. the border meanwhile between france and spain remains open but it may not be for much longer if the surge continues. earlier i spoke to a spanish journalist who says it has been a week since the new measures were permitted. they are strict. some believe they are too much, some believe they are too much, some believe they are necessary. people here are recommended to stay home and to avoid travelling to second residencies. we have seen last week and as well as yesterday how some ca i’s and as well as yesterday how some cars still left away to their second

homes. meetings of up to ten people are banned. nightclubs are closed, and that is it something that came yesterday. in the entire region, bars and regions are limiting their capacity to 50%, with terraces are now forcing to shut down at midnight and cinemas, theatres, sports facilities and jim also closed. some businesses and stores require an appointment. now that it is extremely sunny and it's the summer, it makes people want to go to the beach, beaches are also limiting their capacity. our police having to enforce some of this? you said some people think it is too much. there is control, but mostly what we have seen here in catalonia is that two weeks ago, the facemasks were made mandatory even in social distancing situations, in public places, with fines up to 100 euros. but while

these are recommendations, the measures we were mentioning before, so measures we were mentioning before, so at some point at the police cannot force you to not go to a terrorist or a restaurant, and people of course, the activity is not as high as a month ago when the economy reopened and when we went back to this new normality scenario here in spain and barcelona, but you still see a bit of activity here. and on the night clubs closing or being suspended, do you get a sense that the discussion on the public view in catalonia is that it is young people and their activities that are causing the surge? what is the public analysis of the situation? definitely, and we have seen situation? definitely, and we have seen how most of these outbreaks have originated in parties, in social gatherings amongst young people. also in family gatherings, which is very worrying, and this is

why this new measure of closing the nig htclu bs why this new measure of closing the nightclubs has been sort of well received generally, not amongst young people may be, but this is also an issue. also, social responsibility will be key in these upcoming weeks in order to control the outbreaks, and this is why in catalonia they have warned that if people do not follow through, stricter lockdown or measures could be implement it. it is trying to find the right balance between giving the economy active but also ensuring safety, and if nightclubs have to be closed, well, then they will have to be closed, but definitely some part amongst young people might not be well receiving best. we can find this amongst seasonal workers that have been living and working in poor conditions, also amongst vulnerable groups, but mostly it has originated

in parties and social gatherings. south korea has recorded its biggest one—day increase in coronavirus cases for three months. 113 new infections were reported on saturday — the highest number since the end of march. the vast majority are of people arriving from abroad on two planes carrying south korean workers evacuated from iraq, and an outbreak on a russian fishing vessel docked in busan. just 27 cases have been caused by local transmission. the british grime star, wiley, has been dropped by his management following a string of anti—semitic comments on twitter. the musician, who was awarded an mbe in 2018, has been heavily criticised for sharing anti—semitic conspiracy theories and insulting jewish people. in one tweet he said, "i don't care about hitler, i care about black people." he also seemed to compare thejewish community to the ku klux klan.

wiley was given a temporary ban from twitter but is now back on his account and tweeting again. this man is an adviser to the government on anti—semitism and joins us now. your response to this, obviously his management have withdrawn their services. what do you want twitter to do? to remove him. i mean, this isa to do? to remove him. i mean, this is a daily usage of hatred. many, many is a daily usage of hatred. many, ma ny tweets is a daily usage of hatred. many, many tweets on instagram as well. some hateful stuff. it breaches their conditions, it is with the metropolitan police because some of it references a violent attack in london on a jewish rabbi it references a violent attack in london on ajewish rabbi in it references a violent attack in london on a jewish rabbi in some detail, and i would say it is glorifying the attack and how it is worded. so that is an issue for the

police, but it is also an issue directly for these internet companies, twitter and facebook. they should remove him. that breaches all their standards. it is not even marginal. this get rid hatred that has been going on, this chapter seems to be having something ofa chapter seems to be having something of a meltdown because this has been going on with thousands of tweets for many, many hours. —— chap. it will soon be approaching 24—hour is. i think he needs some help. what it is doing is encouraging others to put out hatred as well. with others weighing in, including start right fascist groups who are weighing in with all the cost denial and other such hatred on the back of what he is doing. —— holocaust. he needs to be removed. are busy there has been controversy be removed. are busy there has been c0 ntrove i’sy over be removed. are busy there has been controversy over social media platforms in the past, notjust in

relation to anti—semitism but in relation to anti—semitism but in relation to anti—semitism but in relation to other racial issues. we have an online harm spell. do you think that will deal with incidents like this? it will have to do. at the moment, twitter are hiding away from everybody, and facebook are failing to act. we need the ability, both the police to make them act, but also for communities impacted, in this case thejewish community, but that could be the black community, the lgbt community, whatever community has been targeted by hatred online, to allow those communities to take action against the internet companies if they refuse to act. it is extraordinary. even for his own safety and security, wiley, that his accounts have not been taken down while it can himself down and get help. we arejust going to

can himself down and get help. we are just going to leave questions relating to his state of mind and his psychology on one side, focus on theissues his psychology on one side, focus on the issues relating to online harm. you say the bill that is going through parliament now, the new legislation that will deal with that, just explain to the audience how it will work to deal with an incident like this. what powers will it give the police to do?|j incident like this. what powers will it give the police to do? i am hoping it will give the police the ability to instruct the internet companies to remove things while there is an ongoing issue. there is a threat to jewish people from what is being put out there at the moment, and the fact that fascist groups for example are jumping on the bandwagon demonstrates what that threat is and how dangerous and pernicious it is. the police need the ability to act, which they do not have, but the rest of us need the ability to be able to take action, including fining and other action, including fining and other action against these internet

companies. they get away with it at the moment. it is astonishing. the amount of vitriol that is poured out from this account on twitter. that it has been allowed back up, absolutely extraordinary, when it references a violent attack in london that has been successfully prosecuted. i am going to stop you there because you made that point already and i wanted to ask you one other thing about other institutions that may need to take action in your view. i want to ask about the 2018 mbe for wiley. you think that should be withdrawn? i think there is a campaign. he seems to want to hand it back anyway, from the things he has said. but the crucial thing in my mind is not that. it is that when people put out this hatred, stirring up people put out this hatred, stirring up hatred, they need to be removed from the internet. it is unacceptable for people to stir up hatred against a community in this

way, and for him to be allowed to continue. i have had jewish people contact me fearful, fearful overnight, fearful for the children and themselves as a consequence. that is unacceptable in this country. whether it is thejewish community or any other community being targeted in this way, these internet companies need to be forced to act and remove this hatred. thank you very much. i should say that we have asked twitter for a response, but we have not got a response from them yet. gyms and indoor swimming pools are re—opening this morning — in the latest easing of the lockdown in england. there remains a financial crunch for many though — with strict social distancing restrictions reducing the number of people in a pool at any one time. let's speak to jj jegede, three times british long jump champion and personal trainer who's back to work today and opening his new gym next

week. yes. thank you for having me. yes. thank you for having mem yes. thank you for having me. it is oui’ yes. thank you for having me. it is our great pleasure to have you, especially since it is a busy morning for you. i know you have been training already. how did it feel to be back in the gym with clients? honestly it has been so long. four months ofjust really, we have been nowhere. the fitness industry has not been prioritised in these lockdown scenarios, which is u nfortu nate these lockdown scenarios, which is unfortunate considering we promote health, so for months has been a very long time. it has been a painstaking weight. we haven't really known when it was going to happen, but as soon as the announcement came that it would beat today, everybody got switched on to what we needed to do and make people feel comfortable coming back to the gym and exercising. feel comfortable coming back to the gym and exercisinglj feel comfortable coming back to the gym and exercising. i know it is early, but those who have been in so far this morning, do you get a sense they are comfortable? the thing about it is exercise is a lot of

mental relief and mental stress relief, so coming back in, they were just happy to be able to come out of their house. some of them were exercising in their house, but they needed that separation to come to somewhere different and to just exercise and be able to sweat somewhere that wasn't their home environment, so i think there was that relief on the first part. i am very fortu nate, that relief on the first part. i am very fortunate, considering i have just opened this new studio, that it is just just opened this new studio, that it isjust as. just opened this new studio, that it is just as. they are not having to share or use anybody else's equipment. it isjust share or use anybody else's equipment. it is just as, share or use anybody else's equipment. it isjust as, which i think helps them feel a bit more assured about the covid—19 problems we have had. we have been talking to other people in gyms this morning, and they are concerned about the number of people who may, after a long lockdown, decide not to come back into the gym, to continue online and freeze memberships and cancel memberships and so on. it does seem like a difficult moment to be opening a new gym, but you are

sounding remarkably upbeat. what is the clue? it is probably not the smartest time, but what i believe is exercise is necessary. it does not matter at what time, even in these covid—19 times, we are a vital part of the economy. we make people happy and we change emotions. we release stress, and that is going to... the fa ct stress, and that is going to... the fact that i am actually smaller than a big chain like pure gym or one that has lots of members, i do not have that. i have one or two people who are going to be inside the room at most, so that could be an advantage in this aspect, that people still want to train but would prefer people still want to train but would p refer to people still want to train but would prefer to train in a smaller setting. it has been great talking to you. i think the gym is called leap fit, and you are based on accident? yes. take care.

security has been ramped up outside the us consulate in the chinese city of chengdu as staff begin to leave. removal vans entered the building this morning and the area has been cordoned off by police. chinese officials have ordered the closure of the consulate within 72 hours in what's regarded as a tit—for—tat move in the escalating diplomatic row with the united states. federal officials in the us have repossessed the chinese consulate in houston, saying it was a hub for intellectual property theft. the bbc‘s north america correspondent david willis reports. at the houston consulate chinese staff cleared the building of documents and other materials as anti—communist protesters gathered outside. us officials maintained the mission had become a leading hubof chinese espionage. the action to direct the closure

of the consulate in houston was taken to protect american intellectual property and americans' private information. china, in a tit—for—tat move ordered the closure of the us consulate in chengdu. it called allegations of spying on behalf of staff at the houston consulate malicious slander, and accused members of the trump administration of trying to stoke conflict with beijing. translation: their purpose is to smear and suppress china, divert the attention of american public and seek gains in us domestic politics. the tricks of these us politicians will not fool american people and the international community. whilst relations between the two leaders have always seemed cordial, diplomatic tensions between the us and china have escalated dramatically in recent months, not least over the coronavirus pandemic. the economic impact

of which has prompted policy changes on both sides. there is a level of insecurity in china's leadership that has led them to become more reactive, more escalatory, and also more risk—accepting when it comes to other countries and foreign policy around the world. a lot has to do here not so much with president trump, although an election is coming up, but also more what is going on in beijing. how much of this comes down to an ideological clash with president trump's america first nationalism, and how much it is an attempt to divert attention from the president's political problems ahead of the november election is not clear. but not since richard nixon moved to normalise relations with china in 1972 have relations between the two superpowers been quite as bad.

more on that story throughout the day. a reminder you are watching bbc news. the duke and duchess of sussex have distanced themselves from a book which claims to give a detailed account of a breakdown in their relations with other members of the royal family. the book, finding freedom — being serialised by the times — 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. u nsettled unsettled weekend on the cards, showery rain and glimpses of blue skies to be seen. this is the picture in cambridge to share a little bit earlier on, but for most of us, today will be a fairly cloudy affair, some of the rain

particularly through the afternoon could be quite heavy and possibly thundery at times. cast your mind back one year ago today, the 25th july 2019, when the highest temperature ever recorded was recorded in cambridge. 38.7 celsius, but to date for many of us only about 20 degrees cooler at than that. we are dragging the air from the atlantic, cool and westerly, following behind the cold front bringing outbreaks of rain throughout today. no pressure driving the weather. sunny spells, showers rattling around the low pressure and towards the south—east, some of the rain could be heavy, thundery and quite persistent as well. moving northwards, some sunshine for north wales and northern england. northern ireland heavy showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. scotland, sunny spells and a few heavy and thundery downpours, especially towards the east. temperatures, top temperatures around 19—21 , but it could be 23 or

21: with around 19—21 , but it could be 23 or 2a with the warmer air in the east. as the third test continues in old trafford, some rain at times but could be moving through fairly quickly on the breeze so dry weather as well. into tonight, heavy downpours in the south and east gradually clear away, so dry conditions developing overnight for many of us, showers in the far north—west. temperatures on the mild side of things, looking at double figures. 0n side of things, looking at double figures. on a sunday morning, more sunshine than this morning, but low pressure not far away. sitting towards the north—west, lots of isobars, heavy showers pushing on across western scotland in particular tomorrow. later in the day, one or two more heavy showers across northern england and wales. it will feel fresher than it has donein it will feel fresher than it has done in recent days but there will be more blue sky and sunshine to compensate for a slightly fresher temperature. highs of 17—23 on sunday. the new working week is likely to start off showery and u nsettled likely to start off showery and unsettled but for many of us, things

turning drier and warmer throughout the week. goodbye. exceptional, existential, expensive, but what does the eagle's recovery deal mean? a late was for dirty laundry as the british parliament publishes its report on russian influence. and a leader who got brexit done or the one who lost lives and loves the union? we assess

boris johnson's first year in downing street. 0ur boris johnson's first year in downing street. our guests from the economist, and we are having a technical problem, we are hoping for a technical commentator as well. in the studio we have the bbc chief international correspondent. fingers crossed we can get thomas. last week's european summit on a post covid economic rescue package was a cliffhanger even by eu standards. germany and france are urged exceptional measures. the so—called frugal four to be exceptional to exceptional measures. the so—called frugalfour to be exceptional to be less expensive. arguing and even banging on tables but eventually the deal was done. i will come first. european leaders called it historic. is that fair? it is
