this is bbc news, the headlines at five: gyms and swimming pools reopen in england, but there's a warning up to a third may stay shut because of financial troubles. and for us it's all been about balancing the experience the members had prior to coming, or prior to lockdown and making sure that they feel safe and secure. it comes as experts warn being overweight or obese brings a greater risk of serious illness or death from covid—19. 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, if they're also overweight, have these extra chances of being really sick.

police say they're looking into a series of anti—semitic comments posted by the grime artist, wiley, on his instagram and twitter accounts. further restrictions introduced in spain's catalonia region, amid fears of a second wave of the virus. details of a royal rift as a new book claims harry and meghan felt deliberately cut off from the royal family. and peter green — influential blues guitarist and co—founder of the band fleetwood mac has died — aged 73.

good afternoon. gyms and indoor swimming pools in england have started to reopen, as part of the latest easing of the coronavirus lockdown. all venues are having to adhere to strict hygeine and social distancing measures — but the industry is warning that financial concerns mean that many facilities will remain closed. katy austin reports. another area of life is opening up again with some changes. at this david lloyd club, people came to do exercise classes this morning, used the gym and swim in the pool for the first time in four months. to be honest i am a bit overwhelmed. i have done a bit of cardio, a bit of weights, a bit of everything today and one of the managers saw me and i was talking to a friend and he said, you haven't been here forfour months. work out. i said, no, this is part of it too.

it is not mandatory to wear a face covering in the gym but the need for social distancing means equipment is spaced out with some machines out of use, there are limits on the number of people who can be in one class or in the swimming pool at any one time and there is extra cleaning in place as well. gym users are also being asked to arrive in their gym gear to avoid using changing rooms. the chance to reopen is important for fitness businesses but the income lost during lockdown while some fixed costs remained means many are in financial difficulty. the owners of this small health club hope people who have cancelled their memberships will feel confident enough to come back. certainly the first few weeks will be a balancing act. between making sure we get the members back and for us it's all about balancing the experience the members had prior to coming, prior to lockdown, and making sure they feel safe and secure.

but people's exercise habits have changed during lockdown. this zumba instructor started doing sessions online. they have been such a hit, she will carry on. we usually have 45 subscribers and then we have pay—as—you—go, so theyjust pay for each class. we usually have like, it could be from 30 or 50. in the gym, you would, maximum, fit in 22. a huge difference obviously having it online. as the exercise machines get going again, there are warnings that not all sites can afford to open just yet and that many public leisure centres will need financial support to avoid permanent closure. being obese or overweight puts you at greater risk of serious illness or death from covid—19, according to experts. public health england found excess weight put people at higher risk of complications from the virus and they say this is just one part of the toll obesity is taking

on the health of the nation. the government is expected to announce new measures to curb obesity in england next week. simon jones has more. the warning from health officials is clear — if you're overweight or obese and get coronavirus, you're more likely to end up in hospital, more likely to become critically ill. this graph illustrates the scale of the problem. based on a study of over 19,000 people who have tested positive for covid—19, it shows the bigger the bmi, or body mass index, the greater the risk of intensive care increases. someone who is severely obese has over four times the risk, compared to someone who is the normal weight. 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, if they're also overweight, have these extra chances of being really sick. although some of us have been

using the extra time we have had on our hands during lockdown to do sport, evidence suggests overall exercise levels haven't increased. what has is the amount ofjunk food and alcohol we have been buying from high street shops. at this park in london, despite no shortage of keen exercisers, people admit the past few months have been challenging. i made quite a conscious effort to try and do a bit more exercise and obviously with the little one we have been getting out to the parks pretty much every day. but i would say that i have probably eaten more as well. once the bars opened we have been eating... overindulging probably, back in bars and restaurants. so i think it will settle down and we'll get a balance. looking at the rate of obesity per 1,000 in european countries, the uk, here in blue, is among the most obese, with 26.2 people out of every 1,000 considered obese. there's a call for more government support. we know that people the intention to improve things, but you get

tripped up all the time — go through a checkout and you often have a bar of chocolate on special offer, for example. and those undermine what you intend to do. so we know that people need help. the government is expected to unveil a long—awaiting obesity strategy for england next week, which could see snack food promotions limited and a ban on tv adverts for junk food before the watershed. public health england is warning the case for action has never been stronger. simon jones, bbc news. and professorjebb who you saw in that report, professor of diet and population health at university of oxford and david cameron's former obesity tsar joins us from shropshire. thank you. we saw in the report there from simon jones thank you. we saw in the report there from simonjones about some of there from simonjones about some of the implications of the experience of dealing with covid—19 cases and there are lots of practical reasons, do we know fizz logically what is

the kind of method of process that the kind of method of process that the mechanism by which this extra weight results in these really quite serious consequences? that is a tricky question, this is obviously a very new infection, so we don't have all of the details. but what seems likely is when people are overweight, fat, instead of being stored specifically in your fat stores, which are design for the purpose, is stored in other place and can infill rate other organs like the heart or liver and perhaps to the lungs and that might make it harderfor people to to the lungs and that might make it harder for people to get enough oxygen harder for people to get enough oxyg e n into harder for people to get enough oxygen into their body. it also causes a metabolic effect, so there is inflammation and other signals that go out which cause the harm

that go out which cause the harm that we see from obesity in relation to other diseases. those are probably contributing to some of the complications of covid.|j probably contributing to some of the complications of covid. i was talking to a patient who had survived covid—19, after a period in induced coma, one of the things he talked about as somebody who was big in terms of their body weight, patients have had to be turned on to their stomach to take the pressure off their lungs, because it helped rather than lying on your back. so there are simple consequences of being obese that can affect, even if you can't see an immediate connection, because the weight of your body is making the work of your organs so your body is making the work of your organs so much harder? that is right, part of this is a physical effect, but for many of these patients who end up in intensive

care, we can overcome these problems, but still being overweight isa problems, but still being overweight is a risk. that suggests that the primary thing is something metabolic. the good news is we know from other diseases that even losing relatively small amounts of weight can bring surprisingly big ben fipts. that is why —— big benefits. that is why losing small amounts of weight can prevent developing these complications from covid. that would cheer a lot of people who struggle and think, i can't get that much off. it is not bothering. absolutely. so wleen when the prime minister talked about having lost a stone since he was ill with covid—19, that stone could make a significant difference? yes it does. half a stone a stone, whatever it is, if you're overweight, losing

even small amounts will improve your health and reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease. and approaching it as something most of us approaching it as something most of us need to do, two thirds of adults in the you kray overweight. —— uk are overweight and if we do a small amount that adds up to a big difference for us individually, but particularly for the nhs. thank you. the metropolitan police say they're looking into a series of anti—semitic posts on social media by the british grime artist wiley. the rapper insulted jewish people and shared anti—semitic conspiracy theories with hundreds of thousands of his followers on twitter and instagram. his management company say they've cut all ties with him. charlotte gallagher reports. wiley is one of the biggest stars in the uk grime scene. so influential that he was dubbed

the godfather of grime and awarded an mbe for services to music in 2018. but in a series of rambling tweets posted over a number of hours, the 41—year—old musician shared anti—semitic conspiracy theories, insulted jewish people and compared the community to the ku klux klan. we have chosen not to show the comments, because of their content. the musician has now been dropped by his agentjohn woolf who said, following wiley‘s tweets we have cut all ties with him. wiley maintains it was his decision to leave the company. look at this. you liar. look at this man. i cut ties with you, you fool! we have cut all ties with him. i cut ties with you. wiley has now been banned from twitter for seven days though the anti—semitic comments

are still visible. many want social media firms to go further. this is a deluge of hatred. many, many tweets, they are on instagram as well, there is some hateful stuff. it breaches their conditions. wiley remains unapologetic despite widespread condemnation. some are now calling for him to be stripped of his mbe. a spokesperson from facebook, which owns instagram has said: twitter has also issued a statement saying:

actress tracy ann oberman is calling for people to walk—out from twitter. she is with us now. good afternoon. what do you mean by a walk out from twitter? look, yet again it take somebody like me, i'm an actor and writer, not an activist. i stood up against racism and what i witnessed over 48—hours of wiley‘s account spewing out not just over 48—hours of wiley‘s account spewing out notjust conspiracy tropes, i have never seen racism like it. post after post. it was upsetting to read. the problem is, you know, wiley is entitled to his opinion to hatejewish people. but what he is not entitled to do is

break the law on hate crime and use a platform, who remit says it is against race hate. platforms like twitter do so little on accounts that promote vile race hatred. i spoke out last night, just a huge deluge of people have supported me. i think if twitter wants me to take this seriously, a lot of people are going to do a 48—hour walk—out on twitter and instagram on monday, starting at 9 o'clock, to say no, this should not be a safe place for racism. there should be no safe place for anti—jewish racism. this isn't political, this is about pure and utter race hatred. a lot of it was offensive and quite depressing, when you think a music, he is a

grime artist with a lot of relatively young followers who will lap up his tweets, because they're big fans of his music and sometimes it is hard for people to distinguish between the art they love and the artist who may not deserve very much love ? artist who may not deserve very much love? my daughter is 13, she is a, she has always lov grime and looked up she has always lov grime and looked up to him. sorry, excuse my voice. she said, mummy, why does he hate us? i don't know what to say to these people, but the same as tommy robinson and katie hopkins, hoefr is promoting race hate, platforms like twit verse twitter have no place to give these people a platform to influence and tell lies about a group of people that he wants people to hate on. it is distressing and the fact that in 20/20 we are even

having the discussion. but shame on twitter, because many people called it out and up until now with the press interest, it has not acted fast enough and it rarely does. press interest, it has not acted fast enough and it rarely doesm has suspended his account for a week. i was talking to somebody from the i newspaper, who follows this in more detail than we would day—to—day, in terms of general news, she said, one of the problems appears to be that it is almost as if they're having to look at these accou nts if they're having to look at these accounts and then trying to assess whether or not they break the law in different jurisdictions, whether or not they break the law in differentjurisdictions, so there is no consistency legally. the government wants to introduce a bill, but isn't this a problem with the international platforms, it is ha rd to the international platforms, it is hard to for the authorities to police them if they don't police themselves. let's be honest,

instagram are there for the click bait and the money and they're not doing it for the charity. the platform has allowed terrible things because it drives traffic. they're quick to act on some accounts and terrible on other things. so for example, a man with 500,000 followers can spew out hate for 48—hours solidly and to be told this doesn't violate our rule is quite incredible. i know people that have had their whole accounts taken down, because they have had a star of david in the picture and been told thatis david in the picture and been told that is a hateful image. twitter and instagram and facebook have got to sorts their act out, because they're pa rt sorts their act out, because they're part of the problem. everyone is entitled to free speech, but they are not allowed a platform to spew hate. you're asking people to effectively leave twitter for

48—hours from 9 o'clock on monday. walk—out. i would walk out of a place i don't feel safe. people like arlene phillips and others have stood up and said this is unacceptable and are happy to walk out. if anybody who feels these sites should police themselves and not leave it to individuals like us, walk out of these sites for its—hours, hold them accountable, make them police the hate they post and make them think about what they're enabling. thank you very much. the musician and co—founder of fleetwood mac, peter green, has died at the age of 73. the singer—songwriter and guitarist was inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame in 1998 and is best known for his songs ‘albatross‘ and ‘black magic woman'.

a statement from his family said, ‘it is with great sadness that the family of peter green announce his death this weekend, peacefully in his sleep' — it went on to say a further statement will be provided in the coming days. thousands of women have protested in cities across poland against the government's plan to withdraw from a european treaty that combats violence against women. thejustice minister said the council of europe's istanbul convention "acts against the traditional family model". he also described the motives for male violence against women as "complicated" and said polish law was more than sufficient to protect women. southern texas is bracing itself for the first atlantic hurricane of the year. hurricane hanna is expected to make landfall along the gulf of mexico, bringing heavy rain, a storm surge and flash flooding. libraries and museums in the coastal city of corpus christi have been closed.

the state is already struggling to deal with a surge in the number of coronavirus cases. preparing the sandbags there. officials in catalonia in north—eastern spain have ordered the closure of all nightclubs amid fears that the country could be experiencing a second wave of coronavirus. yesterday, barely a month after spain ended a state of emergency, its health ministry reported more than 900 new infections. france has advised its citizens not to travel over the border to catalonia because of the spike. our correspondent in madrid, guy hedgecoe told me more about the frustrations being felt by spanish people over the prospect of a second wave of covid—19. i think it is extremely frustrating, as you say there, it was a very strict lockdown, it was very strictly enforced and for the most part people responded to it quite well, quite positively. but i think the fact that we're now in the summer, the peak summer

season, when a lot of people would be going 0h holiday, or thinking about going on holiday, and then suddenly ewe're having these new restrictions introduced in certain parts of the country, up in the catalonia, but also in other areas of country which are seeing spikes of infections. that is very frustrating for people i think. but i think it's also worrying as well. people are concerned about the possibility of a second wave and we heard just a couple of days ago an official from the health ministry saying that this could be the beginning of a second wave of the virus. we heard the french prime minister, who was interviewed in paris earlier, saying, look, the advice was don't cross the border into north eastern spain if you can possibly avoid it. we have got the norwegians saying now people have to quarantine if they're flying in from spain, other countries starting to raise concerns, presumably this is the last thing spain needs just at the point where it thought its tourism industry was going to coming back

into play, at a while when i can't remember the figures, you'll know this far better than me, but the economy has shrunk some extraordinary amount, hasn't it, this year? yes, that's right. normally spain would expect to see around 80 million foreign visitors to the country. obviously, we are not going to see those kind of figures at all this year. you talk about the economy there, we expect to see the economy shrink by upwards of 12% by the end of this year. so there are real concerns about the economy and about the tourism industry, which is so important to the economy. now, i think spain held off a little bit in terms of lifting its restrictions until the end ofjune, because it hoped by doing that it could then have something like a normal tourism season throuthuly and august, the peak season. but that's simply not happening at the moment and with these now spikes and the comments from france and the worries in norway and other countries, that augurs really badly for the rest of season for spain, which relies so heavily on tourism.

if you're planning to book your holiday, but waiting for your passport. there is a warning. people are being warned not to book holidays abroad unless their passports are up—to—date. staff are currently working through a backlog of more than four—hundred—thousand applications — as a result of disruption caused by the pandemic. here's our home affairs correspondent danny shaw the latest advice from the passport office is that people should not book to go abroad until they have received their documents. and those who do not need to renew their passports should wait until after the summer. ministers said the bag passports should wait until after the summer. m because aid the bag passports should wait until after the summer. m because aid the had
