can't see got the front page of life can't see the full story on pages for and five but how significant does your newspaper think this breakthrough might be? well, i think it's hard for all newspapers to answer that question before, the german police actually find anything. i think we will have to wait until tomorrow if not the next few days to see if they find anything. just the fact that they found the seller allegedly owned by the suspect is hugely significant break through. at least we will will hopefully give us the answer to whether the suspect is the suspect. also just remind you how coordinated the police operation has been across europe on this one as well. let's move on to the daily telegraph. quite a significant headline here. isolation for covid—19 headline here. isolation for covid—i9 to increase by three days. the 10—day lockdown for those with
10:46 pm
symptoms but the travel client a quarantine may be reduced. the bbc has confirmed that story now. thank the bbc health secretary will announce tomorrow that the isolation. with covid—i9 symptoms will be extended from seven to ten days. daisy, what do you make of this? i think a lot of peoples insta nt this? i think a lot of peoples instant reaction will be to say heaven sakes can't they make up their mind and stick to a policy and not confuse us all. if you're being a bit fairer not confuse us all. if you're being a bitfairerand not confuse us all. if you're being a bit fairer and that is certainly by an additional reaction, if you're being totally fair covid—i9 is a totally new disease, is something scientists are discovering as they go along. of course it's natural that the advice would change as the data improves and increases. for many people, particular eat when they're thinking about the work they will miss if they have to cite isolate or at the work they will miss or that upset they will lose after a quarantine after holiday.
10:47 pm
endless stories every day saying other countries might be included in the quarantine for topic warranty micro down from two weeks to eight days. the isolation if you get symptoms is probably as you said, bbc has now confirmed, going to go up bbc has now confirmed, going to go up because scientists now believe you are able to transmit and pass that to other people. longer than originally thought. it is very frustrating and politicians throughout this crisis have struggled to maintain authority. in the more changing of the policy the harder it will be for them. matt, the newspaper reports on something that has been widely discussed across the country which is the prime ministers fair about a second wave a cross prime ministers fair about a second wave across europe. and with concerns it says here it could arrive in the uk in the next two weeks. i mean, that's the conversation that everyone is having now. when is the second wave going to hit the uk? i'm not sure if it's a second wave orjust a rumbling on
10:48 pm
of cases with and it's the inevitable flare—up or slight increase that we were always going to see when parts of the academy opened like pubs, restaurants and bars on the 4th ofjuly. it is slightly worrying to see parts of the country, southwest which was two weeks ago was second lowest region in the uk it's reproduction value of the virus is not 1.0 for according to scientists. and four regions —— for out of seven regions reporting increases. it doesn't look like borisjohnson sort of increases. it doesn't look like boris johnson sort of fair of a second wave or increasing cases is approaching. there is a question to ask whether, let's not panic this was always going to come. when we relaxed social distancing. and now we have much better mitigations in place such as more mask wearing, people are much more aware of social distancing and also the testing is
10:49 pm
much higher capacity in the uk. and hospitals are much more able to cope with coronavirus. as we've seen in different parts of the words were also seeing much lower death rates. and heal people quicker. let's not panic as i think the message that the sun is certainly sending tomorrow. daisy, another question from their telegraph from professor james mason who say we in other countries are detecting young people with covid—i9. it seems likely that the virus spreads in this growth ist. there's a lot of conversation about that in the us as well. how it's spreading amongst young people. also in europe as well. how much of a concern is that? often its young people who might carry it but not necessarily be the worst affected? exactly. necessarily be the worst affected? exa ctly. h e necessarily be the worst affected? exactly. he goes on to say in the article those young people may or may not even know they're carrying it but almost certainly will pass it on eventually to an old person who could be very badly damaged by it.
10:50 pm
or killed by it. it's all very serious. it's interesting, this is happening across most countries. they are saying that people that are now getting at most and spreading it most are younger people. they are, seem most are younger people. they are, seem to be the most cavalier. we're about to talk about japan, seem to be the most cavalier. we're about to talk aboutjapan, i think the japanese spike is been put down to night clubs and bars and clubs, young people disregarding the rules. a concern i have is that there is going to be a sort of generational intolerance. we know were going to be living with coronavirus for very longtime. we are at least a year or two. so this is what we're going to have to put up with. but people start at this stage when they get bored of the whole thing to look for blame. if it's the politicians, it certainly won't be the politicians they are certainly playing for most things. i do worry that younger people are going to start getting it from the general public or
10:51 pm
newspapers or commentators. young people we know are the generation that are being most hit financially. their future is being that are being most hit financially. theirfuture is being most hit. and ijust theirfuture is being most hit. and i just have a theirfuture is being most hit. and ijust have a concern that this is the beginning of a lot of criticism aimed ata the beginning of a lot of criticism aimed at a whole group of people when only some are responsible as everfor when only some are responsible as ever for the when only some are responsible as everfor the bad behavior. when only some are responsible as ever for the bad behavior. you mentioned that we're moving on to japan. the japan times is the story. a couple of covid—i9 stories on the front page. one of the headline saint nationwide one date virus tops a thousand for the first time. total number of cases on wednesday topped 1000. single day records. there is a story on the bottom which talks about restrictions on groups of people visiting restaurants, bars and entertainment establishments with them tell us more about that. it's more evidence that countries like japan and hong kong and other asian countries has dealt with the
10:52 pm
outbreak initially quite well. even the highest spikes to start with just evidence that the virus isn't going anywhere. the article here says that in tokyo for example, nationwide they've managed to avoid a surge in fatalities there is some good news there. early on in the pandemic they managed to avoid fatalities despite having higher rates. there's good news there because ok, we've seen a lot of cases but we were able to heal people and get them back home. before we move on daisy, there is a quote here in this article saying the central governments as that large group of people avoid dining out. but a lot of younger people in particular are asking but what do you mean by large groups? this is something we might end up seeing in europe and eventually as well.“ something is being rolled back. i
10:53 pm
think the japanese example has been so fascinating from the outside looking in. because as matt said, if they'd kept their numbers down extraordinarily well. although they did introduce a state of emergency. they locked out was voluntary and like nearly every other country. and most country assumed that japan must have a high death rate because they have a high death rate because they have a high death rate because they have a very elderly population. and they have a very cramped together population. i mean greater tokyo has 37 million people it's mind—boggling how the crime enter all those high—rise buildings and cramped onto all those famous trains. it was amazing that they managed to get away with as few deaths as they did. i think that's another reason why people are now so interested in how they're going to cope. there was a famous quote of you weeks ago from the deputy prime minister when asked from other leaders how they'd managed to do so well. he said because japanese physical bodies we re because japanese physical bodies were just because japanese physical bodies werejust superior. because japanese physical bodies were just superior. some scientists have looked into that and they think there might be something in that.
10:54 pm
because sars was injapan. that maybe they did have some sort of immunity that worked with covid—19. goodness knows whether there's anything there. but it makes it such anything there. but it makes it such an interesting case and now as you said the case that it still volu nta ry. said the case that it still voluntary. but the younger generation might not be paying attention. a might not understand what's expected of them. so many theories flying around about why there's different death rates in the world. no one knows any answer to that. matt, the front page of the straits times has got a photograph of people queuing up to get covert tests. says workers at a government clinic are giving out free coronavirus test kits in hong kong's district. because cases arising thereto are they? yes, that's right. chief detective gave a stark message to the residence and we are on the verge of a large—scale community outbreak. as i said another area where initially they dealt with the
10:55 pm
outbreak very well. now it's very orient to see a place that dealt with it so well at the start being kind of overwhelmed —— overwhelming. we are seeing in india where cases are rising different situation there. but it tells us that while parts of the world there an opt. as i was saying earlier, this is something that every country has been, most countries have taken slightly different approaches. which from a scientific point of view is very useful because the more approaches you have to study the more data you can see which ones work and which ones which of course it doesn't take into her account the human toll as the rise in america and india going through the roof. and various other countries with that in the long—term impacts of that. social cohesion impacts. that's something that will be studied for years to come. we will
10:56 pm
be back with both of you daisy and matt in an hour's time. or half an hour time. thanks for now. that's it for the papers. thanks to daisy and matt. goodbye for now. hello again. it was a little bit warmer out there today. but over the next two days, the heat will really build. temperatures will rise and, by friday, it could be the hottest day of the year so far. temperatures will be slower to rise in scotland and northern ireland, perhaps because we've got these weather fronts coming in from the atlantic, bringing more cloud and some outbreaks of rain. and through the night, most of the rain will be affecting northern ireland. there will still be some for a while in wales, and a few spots will head up into the northwest of england and southwestern parts of scotland. either side of that, some clearer skies developing. and generally, temperatures 10—12 celsius tonight, but probably a bit colder
10:57 pm
across northern parts of mainland scotland with maybe some early sunshine on thursday. very quickly, though, we'll see that rain turning heavier in northern ireland. it will cheer up through the day as the wind picks up and blows that rain away, pushing it further north into scotland. at the same time, we'll see more sunshine coming up from the south across england and wales, and it's here that temperatures will get particularly high — 27—28 celsius through the midlands and the southeast of england, warmer than today for northern ireland. now it was only yesterday that we had those cool, northwesterly winds. in order for the temperatures to rise so rapidly in the next few days, the wind direction has to change. and we're tapping into a south—easterly breeze bringing in warmth from continental europe ahead of these weather fronts, trying to push in from the atlantic. so whilst it's getting much warmer across much of the country, northern ireland may miss out on the high temperatures because we've got this showery rain coming in from the west. ahead of it, more of a breeze picking up, blowing in lots of sunshine — strong sunshine, as well — lifting temperatures
10:58 pm
in scotland into the mid—20s, widely 29—30 celsius in england and wales, and 3a in the southeast of england. this will be the peak of the heat on friday and, with that heat, there could be a few showers developing across the midlands and eastern england ahead of the rain that's coming in from the atlantic to western areas. all that wet weather pushes its way eastwards overnight and, as we head into the weekend, it's all change again. we return those winds to the west or southwest atlantic air, and that means it will turn cooler and fresher. those temperatures certainly will be dropping away. there'll be some sunshine and a few showers, with most of the showers in the north and west of the uk.

this is bbc news. i'm rajini vaidyanathan with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. tech titans in tiny boxes. four of the biggest names in technology get a grilling at a congressional hearing over claims they're stifling competition. in a bbc interview, america's top infectious diseases expert warns the politicisation of coronavirus is getting in the way of an effective response. there is a considerable degree of political divisiveness to a level that everyone admits you don't need me to make that declaration. the debate over quarantine measures for travellers to the uk intensifies, with the spanish government putting more pressure on britain to rethink its policy. and, why scientists are confident that stonehenge has yielded another
