good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and nina warhurst. our headlines today: a rapid new test for coronavirus that can deliver results injust 90 minutes. 500,000 will be available from next week, millions more later this year. after months of home working, companies across england can insist that staff go back to the office, but there are worries the government's sending out mixed messages. iama bit i am a bit concerned, actually, because the saying that they cannot come into my house but i can go to work with people i don't even know.

good morning. the eat out to help 0ut scheme launches. more than 72,000 businesses have signed up to offer half—price meals paid by the government. will it be enough to save struggling hospitality firms? i'm in watford to find out. a major incident is declared in greater manchester as officials ramp up their response to a rising number of covid—i9 cases. good number of covid—i9 cases. morning. the most dramatic ending to a formula i race the world champion can remember. lewis hamilton crosses the line at silverstone on three wheels to win the british grand prix for the seventh time. splashdown! a safe landing for the first astronauts to splash down in us waters in 45 years. and we saw out last week with our third—highest temperature ever recorded. this week, the heat is back by friday but we start on a rather cool note. i will have all

the details here on breakfast. it's monday the third of august. our top story: millions of new tests for coronavirus that can give a result in 90 minutes will be rolled out from next week. most tests results are currently returned within 2a hours, but a quarter can take up to two days. 450,000 new tests will be made available to care homes and nhs laboratories from next week. millions more have been promised by the end of the year. here's charlotte gallagher. in the fight against coronavirus and stopping people passing it on to others, testing is vital. but during the pandemic, the government has been repeatedly challenged about its capacity to do so. and with sometimes unable to say precisely how many people had been tested. just yesterday, officials admitted there was a limited number of test kits for care homes, meaning the

july target routinely check all asymptomatic staff and residents has been pushed back to september. now, the department of health has announced a deal with two companies, based in oxford and london, rollout kits that will provide kits in 90 minutes. almost 500,000 tests will be available from next week across aduu be available from next week across adult care settings. and hospitals are expected to receive them from september. millions more of the tests are said to be rolled out later in the year. meanwhile, 5000 dna machines, which analyse those swa bs, dna machines, which analyse those swabs, will provide 5.8 million tests in the coming months. the tests, which will go to pop up labs, will also be able to detect common winter illnesses such as the flu. there is hope that more widespread testing could flag localised outbreaks before they take hold. and regional lockdowns have to be put in place. with concerns about increasing cases in the winter and

the strain that would place on the nhs, there will be calls for even more testing across the uk. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. from today, the government is hoping to see more of us returning to work and dining out as it launches plans to help boost the economy. let's take a quick look at some of the details. employers in england can now insist that staff return to the workplace, providing it is safe to do so. however, many businesses have already indicated that they won't be making that calljust yet. in scotland, wales and northern ireland, the guidance remains to continue working from home. meanwhile, chancellor rishi sunak‘s eat out to help 0ut scheme starts today. every monday, tuesday and wednesday throughout august, diners across the uk will be able to enjoy a discount of up to 50% on food and soft drinks. the government will meet the cost, up to a value of £10 per person. 0ur political correspondent nick eardley is in westminster. nick, the government tightened restrictions for millions of people on friday and now they want us back at work, and eating out?

many of these measures are all about the economy. but, of course, alongside this, there are new announcements about testing. morning. it is interesting, isn't it? although the government is trying to get more people back to work from today, is trying to get us all out to bars and restaurants to have our dinner mid week, they are also having the increasingly cautious tone when it comes to the way that coronavirus is being handled. so we saw the prime minister really put the brakes on the opening up of the country on friday. likewise, we have seen those restrictions added in certain parts of the country like parts of the north of england. so there is that interesting balance to be had over the next few weeks and months between trying to get the economy moving again but also making sure that the virus is under control. and i think the argument that the

government would make is that if you're going to a restaurant or if you're going to a restaurant or if you're going to a restaurant or if you're going back to work, you're only doing so because it is covid secure, making sure so full of —— social distance is in place and other mitigations there are to stop you from getting the virus but at the same time while we start to do those things again, there are warnings from the government that if we do not take care and if things start to get worse again, we might be even more restrictions on so there is some uncertainty about what there is some uncertainty about what the next few weeks looks like. thank you very much. authorities in greater manchester have declared a major incident, as cases of coronavirus continue to rise. the announcement comes just days after the government announced tougher restrictions in the north—west of england. manchester city council urged residents to stay calm and said the measure will help various agencies to work together and draw on extra resources. the local lockdown in leicester is being relaxed today, allowing businesses, including pubs and restaurants, to reopen. some restrictions will remain, though. 0ur reporter geeta pendse

is in leicesterfor us this morning. geeta, explain what will be happening in leicester and how will it be changing today? good morning. yes, it is a big day. it is five weeks since leicester was placed into that localised lockdown, the first place in the country to experience this, and it has been a testing time for people who live and work here. but the restrictions have been easing gradually and today as mentioned it is a big moment because restau ra nts, mentioned it is a big moment because restaurants, bars, hairdressers will be able to reopen for the first time since the national lockdown began at the start, well, at the end of march. we also see the reopening of places like cinemas and museums and religious ceremonies can take place again, providing they are in the guidelines. there are still some restrictions so different households are not allowed to meet yet indoors oi’ are not allowed to meet yet indoors or in the garden. bases like leisure

centres, gyms and pools won't reopen just yet. but there's —— the general easing is a reflection on the drop—in rate of infection here so the beginning of the localised lockdown, the rate of infection was 135 per 100,000 people. but has fallen now to 55. lots of businesses in particular will be really excited about reopening and there is a hope that the mood of this city centre in particular will change and the people here can enjoy some of the freedoms that have been experienced elsewhere. geeta, thank you. residents of the australian city of melbourne have been ordered to stay at home every night for the next six weeks. it's part of a strict new lockdown imposed on the state of victoria following a rise in coronavirus infections. 0ur correspondent phil mercer is in sydney. phil, how are people reacting to this? i think there is a degree of fear,

frustration and anxiety. these are australia's toughest ever lockdown restrictions and they came into force overnight and it means that the 5 million residents of melbourne and not leave their homes between eight o'clock in the evening and five o'clock in the morning. they are also mandated not to travel further than about three miles from their homes. 0nly further than about three miles from their homes. only one person per household per day is allowed to go shopping forfood, household per day is allowed to go shopping for food, schools and childcare centres will also be closed as well. this is because of the state of disaster that has been declared by the victorian state government. 0nly declared by the victorian state government. only the second time these extraordinary measures have been invoked. they were brought in injanuary been invoked. they were brought in in january because been invoked. they were brought in injanuary because of been invoked. they were brought in in january because of the been invoked. they were brought in injanuary because of the bushfire crisis. now, they have been brought in because of a huge spike in coronavirus cases in the state of victoria and in the next few minutes we are expecting an update from the victorian state premier daniel andrews and once again it is

expected he will announce that hundreds more cases of coronavirus have been detected overnight. phil mercer, many thanks. it's emerged that a woman who's alleged to have been raped by a conservative mp complained about his behaviour to the party's chief whip four months ago. the conservative mp and former minister, who hasn't been named, was arrested on saturday and then bailed by police investigating allegations of sexual offences and assault. it's now understood the chief whip, mark spencer, spoke with the complainant four months ago but insists she didn't make an allegation of serious sexual assault. a spokesman for mr spencer has said he takes all allegations of harassment and abuse extremely seriously two us astronauts splashed down in the gulf of mexico last night, nine weeks after they set off to the international space station on a rocket provided by the commercialfirm, spacex. the company, owned by the technology billionaire elon musk, will now start charging nasa for a so—called ‘astronaut taxi service". 0ur science correspondent

the country like this one are slowly re—emerging from lockdown. they have been trying to get back on their feet after lockdown. people 5lowly coming back. it is the hospitality industry that has struggled most with those closures, lots of stuff put on furlough. so from today the new scheme comes into fall. she says it is called eat 0ut new scheme comes into fall. she says it is called eat out to help 0ut. the idea is you will get a half priced meal and it will be paid for by the government. they will stump up by the government. they will stump up half the cost. ideally meeting that places like this will be much fuller. this one opening for brea kfast fuller. this one opening for breakfast in the next half hour or so. they will be open right through until 11 so. they will be open right through until11p.m.. is so. they will be open right through until 11 p.m.. is the general manager. the scheme comes into force today. it means you would have even more people through the door, you would hope. we're telling me even when you reopen people have been coming back, so you have not waited too much about customers. ms sense of what lockdown was like for you,

though. lockdown, to start with, we we re pretty though. lockdown, to start with, we were pretty worried because we did not know how we were going to survive with the money was coming from. luckily the government did our fellow scheme of 80% so we were lucky. you have those staff back. what difference will this scheme make for you? it'll be great for us. will probably get guests who normally wouldn't come in who will give usa normally wouldn't come in who will give us a try. hopefully by the end of august, hopefully, sales will continue. let's talk about some of the detail. it is a little bit complicated. we make it sound simple. it is half price. there are certain exemptions stop what we know so far? it will be 50% off your meal. 50% off up to £10. it does not include alcoholic drinks but it does coincide with all the other girls we have like tapis tuesdays ang shiqi mondays that we have —— deals we have. so if you come in for a brea kfast have. so if you come in for a breakfast it could mean it is much cheaper for you when you get those

people through the door. yes, definitely. would august to traditionally be a difficult month for you? would traditionally be a difficult month for you ? would people traditionally be a difficult month for you? would people be coming out in august? they would normally, before coronavirus, they would normally, it would be one of our —— be one of obvious months. one of customers telling you about how they feel about coming out? are they safe, prepared to come out? yes. we have had positive feedback for us. they said they feel really safe and looked after. but it still is —— still feels how it used to coming into a lounge. i have been looking around. there are lots of measures you have put in place, stuff we are increasingly used to. you have screens at the bar. how difficult is to runa screens at the bar. how difficult is to run a business normal with the extra procedures in place? initially it was a bit difficult because it is a new way of working. but after the first week we got into the swing of it now it is a normal way of working and it is not too difficult. good

luck. a lot of work ahead. as you said, the tills have sorted all the bills. you don't need to do anything for it. thank you very much. lots of businesses trying to work out what it means for them, getting people back through the doors, the hospitality industry a huge employer in this country and therefore really important to try to get people back into bars and restaurants. the headlines, as you had therefrom stef, 50% of your food, does headlines, as you had therefrom stef, 50% of yourfood, does not include alcoholic drinks, maximum of £10, but it should make a difference in terms of encouraging people back out into the hospitality sector, meaning it is a little bit cheaper and it might encourage people back out onto the high streets stop i will show you around a little more a little later and explain who will pay for all of this, crucially, and then excel. i will see you then. thanks very much. see you later on. it will be interesting to see how much public confidence has been affected. the italian city of genoa is inaugurating a new bridge today —

almost two years since the collapse of the morandi bridge, which killed 43 people. the new structure is designed by the architect renzo piano, who's from the city — he also designed the shard in london and the pompidou centre in paris. 0ur correspondent mark lowen reports. child singing. an elegy for genoa's tragedy. the final piece by the renowned italian composer ennio moricone before he died last month, written in memory of the 43 victims of the genoa bridge collapse two years ago. a requiem for one of the worst infrastructure disasters in modern italian history, played to a city still in mourning. cymbals crash. shouting. 11:36am on the 14th of august, 2018, a corroded cable—stay on the morandi bridge tears apart, bringing over 200 metres of it cascading to the ground. drivers and residents crushed by the icon of their city. the genoese architect, renzo piano,

whose designs include the shard in london and paris' pompidou centre recalls the old bridge opening in 1967. morandi bridge was for me kind of a fantastic, brave example of engineering. everybody loved that bridge. everybody also was a bit frightened by the fragility of the bridge. bridge should never collapse. they don't have the right to collapse. piano's bridge echoes a ship sweeping across this port city. sensors and robots ensuring its safety. 2,000 solar panels providing its energy. this is my brother, roberto. samuele, my nephew. and my sister—in—law. but it won't ease the pain here. george robbiano was due to celebrate his brother's birthday on that fateful day. his eight—year—old nephew was the youngest victim. i feel my heart like,

split in two, 0k? and one part is missing. this new bridge isjust made with the blood of my brother, my nephew, and my sister and the other a0 persons that lost their lives. and there's nothing to celebrate. the old bridge's maintenance company and successive governments stand accused of years of neglect, despite warnings the steel was corroding. 71 people are being investigated, with a trial expected soon. translation: it's absolutely understandable that people want justice and that they want it as fast as possible. i want to assure them that we're doing our utmost to deliver it with all of the resources and latest technology we have, for the sake of those who lost their families, homes, work, and for the whole community of genoa. the disaster shone a spotlight beyond the morandi bridge —

on this country's ageing infrastructure. several other viaducts have collapsed over the years in italy with its economic stagnation. but now it's hoped that the rebuilding, too, can have a wider impact to show that new projects can go up quickly and efficiently here, and to bring pride back to italian engineering. italy is able to do this sort of thing. i don't understand why. it would simple become possible. 0ne, you have attraction... a hole in the heart of this city has been filled, but it will take time to heal. mark lowen, bbc news, genoa. you are watching bbc breakfast. still to come: we have splashdown. two american astronauts splashed down on us water last night, for the first time in nearly half a century. we'll get more details on that historic mission from the space journalist sarah cruddas. that's in just a few minutes. we'll also bring you

results are returned within 2a hours and a quarter can take up to two days. the news swab and dna tests would be "hugely beneficial" over the winter, according to the health secretary. authorities in greater manchester have declared a major incident, as cases of coronavirus continue to rise. the announcement comes just days after the government announced tougher restrictions in the north—west of england. manchester city council urged residents to stay calm, and said the measure will help various agencies to work together and draw on extra resources. leicester's local lockdown has been partially lifted, allowing some businesses — including restaurants and hairdressers — to reopen. the city had strict restrictions re—imposed at the end ofjune, shortly before the rest of england began to re—open its hospitality and service sectors. some tighter rules will remain in place in the centre of leicester. australia's second largest city, melbourne, has gone into a strict six—week lockdown as coronavirus cases continue to rise in the state of victoria.

residents of the city have been ordered to stay indoors at night, and they'll only be allowed to shop and exercise within 3 miles of their homes. the measures come after 671 new cases were detected in victoria since saturday, including seven deaths. around this time of year, the sky above bristol would normally be filled with hot—air balloons. well, here's some good news — it still will be. the annual balloon fiesta is taking place today — but in a slightly different form. jo bailey is a balloon pilot and we can speak to her now. —— lets speak to ben hardy. 0ne thing i see is many, many balloons behind you. how is today's event different from normal? normally, here behind me, ashton court estate, we would have 500,000 people visit us we would have 500,000 people visit us each year and next weekend it

would normally be and obviously with current covid—19 pandemic we have not been able to do that but this morning under top—secret guys if you like, we are launching over 45 balloons behind me. say hello bristol and to lift the city's spirits a bit. i love that you say it is top—secret and we are seeing a shot here and it is fairly visible for a top—secret event! i snow you say numbers are down but it is a lwa ys say numbers are down but it is always a magnificent sight —— i know you say. it is top-secret until this morning and obviously i am now talking to you on live news. it is a magnificent sight and we normally have about 150 balloons here and these are all local pilots and they really wa nted these are all local pilots and they really wanted to come together and at least mark this year's event for us. tell us about how the social distancing, any restrictions apply? i don't know, within the basket so how do they operate? any changes in

that respect? absolutely, the civil aviation authority stopped ballooning for a time. doesn't is now have to wear a mask. —— passengers. but if pilots are not happy with that, they have been flying their family and friends to stay in a bubble. any passengers though do have to put a mask on. what is the plan, when will they be taking off? some are just lifting off now, we can see. yeah, we have got the first one lifted off just there and the rest will follow quite quickly. within the next five or ten minutes. we are tracking a north—easterly wind this morning so over towards pension pathway. normally you would have crowds, wouldn't you, watching that lift off but i suppose the upside, if you would excuse the pun, of an event like this is people from their own homes, as the balloons go overhead, will still be able to see them.

yeah, i mean, we're asking bristol this morning to go their doorstep, back garden, and hopefully see this magnificent site but they are so used to, but sadly we cannot bring it in all its full glory —— sight. hopefully we are bringing the balloon fiesta to everyone's doorstep. i know that it normally, i mean, apart from anything else because it draws crowds, it is a business as well, isn't it? there is business as well, isn't it? there is business generated for local industries because of your event. so i guess some of that will be missing this year inevitably. yeah, i mean, we have got 350 traders who normally come to the event on this site behind me. but we are also well known for filling the hotels, restau ra nts, known for filling the hotels, restaurants, bars and cafes in the city so unfortunately we cannot make that happen and on a normal fiesta year, we have estimated the value of the event for the economy is £15 million so a big loss unfortunately

to the city but hopefully this will remind people across the world that bristol is still a great place and we are the centre of ballooning in the uk. i am looking at the shot from above, ben, and the weather has been good for you today because it looks beautiful. well, we don't hold the event in public and we have an amazing morning for ballooning. last year we had quite a windy, wet event here but yes, a beautiful morning, perfect conditions for us. we have a little bit of wind but not too much so fantastic. we can see the first of those balloons just drifting off into the distance so we will catch up into the distance so we will catch up with some of your pilots i think a little bit later. good to speak to you this morning. do you know what i love about that? so many events like this happen annually and people have adapted and they do things differently just to make adapted and they do things differentlyjust to make sure it still happens. where there is a will, there is away. something very

calming about that as you see them drift into sky. we will check in with them later. after travelling more than 27 million miles around planet earth, two nasa astronauts splashed down off the florida coast last night — marking a new era for the american space agency. the mission was a demonstration of the so—called "taxi service" which the private firm spacex will be selling to nasa from now on. let's get more on this from the space journalist, sarah cruddas. a very good morning to you. explain to us how significant this mission was. morning. thank you so much both of you for having me. this is hugely significant. you mentioned that this is big news for nasa but actually this is a global thing because the way we go to space is changing and we are in this new kind of intrapreneurial era where before space was the preserve of governments and mostly large governments and mostly large governments but now what we see is a shift in terms of who can access

space because no longer is itjust about countries, it is about private individuals and companies as well so what we have seen is the first successful demonstration of the spacex successful demonstration of the s pa cex crew successful demonstration of the spacex crew dragon which is going to enable spacex to later on take astronauts to the iss which will enable government agencies to stop doing something they have been doing for yea rs doing something they have been doing for years and look further into space so they are looking to return astronauts to the moon but this time for longer than flags and footprints. there are whole generations of people that make me not included, it must have been said who would not have seen a live splashdown before because it has been a long time since the last one happened. what was it like for the astronauts coming down? what were theyin astronauts coming down? what were they in drawing and as the various danger areas around the shoots opening and getting out of the water safely —— enduring. opening and getting out of the water safely -- enduring. i have to admit i held my breath and elon musk that

he is not religious but he was praying when it came back and i think actually it was a successful launch and you would assume everything was ok but this was the first time this kind of spacecraft to come back to work with humans on board. it was only the fifth type of new spacecraft that nasa has flown in nearly 60 years so a lot can go wrong but when you look at astronauts, we cannot compare them to you and i for example because they think and train differently, they think and train differently, they have trained for this moment i so in terms of what is going through their head it is checking procedures and doing what they are told to mission control and following protocol. does the success of this mean that other private companies might start doing similar, with the capsules that we see, they are now reusable, aren't they, and couldn't open competition long—term and ultimately what might that lead to, we know in the past they are talking about a potential colonisation of mars. it sounds like science fiction and it is important to remember that many people have heard of spacex and

elon musk and it is gathered a lot of attention but this compressional —— commercial space endeavour has a huge amount of companies doing similar things and perhaps not the same as elon musk but blue origin is elon —— jeff bezos from amazon's company. the idea is if you were to go back 30 years and look at how the internet transformed our world today you could not imagine that businesses and the ideas to come and the same as space, it is enabling government agencies and international partnerships to explore further but importantly, enabling us to utilise space to develop businesses and ideas to bring a real benefit to life on earth so much of what we do in space feels like it is out there and doesn't relate to us but actually it doesn't relate to us but actually it does and what we're seeing now is not so much a race because there is not so much a race because there is no longerfinal not so much a race because there is no longer final destination as there was during the space race and the aim to go to the moon but almost

like a wild west in terms of businesses and countries and entrepreneurs competing together to grab entrepreneurs competing together to gmba entrepreneurs competing together to grab a piece of the new pie and use it to potentially make money, a lot will lose money, but to benefit life on earth so in terms of the benefits to come you can look at science, you know, being conducted in zero g to bring real benefit to life on earth and potentially moving manufacturing off earth and again it sounds like science fiction but these things are being looked at right now and it is almost one of those things you cannot imagine what is to come and thatis cannot imagine what is to come and that is what is so exciting for this era and as you correctly said, like, many people have not seen a spacecraft splashdown, i haven't, the last time of spacecraft landed like this with nasa was 1975 so just imaginea young like this with nasa was 1975 so just imagine a young boy or a young girl watching that yesterday and feeling inspired in the same way that the apollo generation, imagine what they could create for our future. really inspirational. thank you so much it

is absolutely mind blowing, talking about the future that could come with this, manufacturing on different planets for example ? amazing. extraordinary. it is 640. it is awkward, you waste time maybe you don't get where you want to be quite when you want to be when you're driving but during a grand prix, really. yes, and going at more than 100 miles an hour while you have a flat tire. not recommended. if anyone could do it well, lewis hamilton. a hugely dramatic end to the british grand prix with both world champion lewis hamilton and his mercedes team—mate valtteri bottas suffering punctures in the final two laps. british fans had their hearts in their mouths as hamilton, incredibly, nursed his car around the track to take the chequered flag, winning the race for the seventh time. 0ur sport editor dan roan was at silverstone. in most cases a puncture like this would have led to retirement but once again lewis hamilton proved he is no ordinary driver, in one of the

most memorable victories of his career. earlier on despite the absence of the support he has grown accustomed to all had begun well for the world champion but elsewhere, this control, first kevin magnusson and then danny cathy at both crashing out. russian's frustration obvious. as was hamilton's inpatients. this guy needs to speed up. but what looked to be a routine victory was anything but, first is only rival valtteri bottas had a puncture and pitted on the penultimate lap and then, on the last, hamilton remarkably suffered the same fate. with max verstappen eating into his lead, the world champion was suddenly in trouble. of three wells, hamilton just entered into limp home for the most dramatic of wins with his closest rival looming interview. oh my god i was just praying to try to get around and not be too slow. i nearly didn't get around the last two corners but thank god we did and you know i really owe it to the team and i think ultimately, maybe we should

have stopped! this, a record seventh victory here for hamilton, already 3o victory here for hamilton, already 30 points up on this most unique of seasons. next weekend this circuit will host a second grand prix when that was hamilton will be expected to strengthen his bid for a record—equalling seventh world championship. after one of my most dramatic wins of his career. the only disappointment, there were no fa ns only disappointment, there were no fans here to see it. celtic‘s quest for ten scottish league titles in a row got off to a great start. 0dsonne edouard scored a hat—trick as they hammered hamilton 5—1 to go straight into their familiar spot at the top of the table. after turning professional just four years ago, harrogate town have been promoted to the football league for the first time in their history. they beat notts county 3—1 in the national league final at wembley, jack diamond scoring their third goal. that's harrogate's second promotion in three seasons, and they have league two football to look forward to in around six weeks' time.

congratulations to them. israel folau's decision not to take a knee before his side's rugby league match was his "personal choice", according to catalans dragons coach steve mcnamara. as the season resumed, the former australia rugby union international was among a small group who remained standing. dragons were thrashed 34—6 by reigning champions st helens. meanwhile, leeds went to the top of the table in stunning style. they recovered from 20 points down at huddersfield and luke gale landed a golden point drop goal in extra time to give them victory by 27 points to 26. ronnie 0'sullivan was in devastating form as he began his world snooker championship campaign in sheffield. the five—time champion opened up an eight—one lead against thailand's thepchaiya un—nooh in a blistering session, hitting two century breaks. ‘the rocket‘ needsjust two more frames this morning to reach the second round, where ding junhui is waiting.

andy murray had a damning assessment of his brother's game , now, when you play golf, you need quite a lot of kit — a bag of clubs, ball and some tees. but one pro on the european tour needed a boat. joel sjoholm hit his ball onto an island on the penultimate hole at the hero open in birmingham. if that wasn't bad enough, he then had to move some signs in order to hit his ball. perhaps, unsurprisingly, the swede dropped a shot at that hole. he finished in 20 second place. did you notice his caddie did not get in the boat with him? —— in 22nd place. more of us will be going back to work today as bosses in england now have the discretion to decide if their staff should return to the office. the new rule came into force on saturday but the start of the working week

should give us a better idea of how many people will be back at the desk. breakfast‘s jayne mccubbin has been out in manchester to see what difference it might make. manchester '5 welcoming workers back, just as the covid—19 spike sends a different message. it's a case of i had two. they have no choice really. after four case of i had two. they have no choice really. afterfour months case of i had two. they have no choice really. after four months on lockdown with a health condition, jane has just gone lockdown with a health condition, jane hasjust gone back lockdown with a health condition, jane has just gone back to work as a cleaner. i'm a bit concerned, actually, because they are saying i can't meet up with family, they can't meet up with family, they can't come into my house, but i can still go to work with people they don't even know, i can still go in a putt. do you feel safe still going to work? not really, no. are you going to keep working? it's a case of they have to. i've got to work. this is the head office of brentwood, one of the biggest letting officers in the country, they look after 40,000 office desks. 0nly they look after 40,000 office desks. only 20% of them are today in use. i'm quite surprised it's been 20%. we thought people would come back quicker and sooner than they have

done. are you worried? as long as we continue to reiterate the message that we have covid secure spaces, which we have been doing, we are really hopeful that people will continue to gradually return to the workplace. we want people to feel safe and secure. i'm in, i'vejust spoken to the health and safety executive who have a head office not farfrom here in the help north—west, and they say they don't expect any change from monday. they are still operating on a skeleton staff and that they will continue to do so. what message does that send out? well, we think probably the wrong one. because what we need to do is get people back into the cities and towns. we had out for lunch in the covid secure lift. this ta kes lunch in the covid secure lift. this takes some getting used to. and see the impact of the virus has had on trade in the city. have you thought about when it might be back to, not new normal, but normal normal does make normal normal?”

new normal, but normal normal does make normal normal? i don't know. think it might be next summer. which is quite sad, isn't it? gareth and emily, sick of working from home, have turned this into their makeshift office. ijust missed being around other humans. you missed people. your bosses are knocking on the door saying we need you back? no, not yet. but some are. employment law specialistjill is already handling grievances from employers who wanted their stuff back. if it comes to the stage where they have said we've made every adjustment we can and we've explored everything and you still don't think it's safe and, actually, we agree that there are risks, we can't continue to employ you because actually we don't see an endpoint insight for when you would be able to return. do you think is going to get quite messy up there with these kinds of cases? it already is messy andi kinds of cases? it already is messy and i think at the moment people are thinking let's not make any immediate decisions about it, but i think come the autumn when the recession is really biting, when we

get the fellow scheme coming to an end, employers are going to have to make really difficult decisions. buses are near empty. many premises still shot. in fact, around here was down 75% in the week before the new restrictions were announced —— shuttle. for sayed's business, reliant on officer suits and pub and restau ra nt reliant on officer suits and pub and restaurant lennon, that is devastating. 9096 hasjust gone. wow. i think by the end of next year we would be in a better position. the end of next year?! because so many businesses are reopening, but we don't know how many of them are going to survive. nico is paying rent on two cafes which haven't yet been able to reopen. he was given just one month's race back in april

and tells me he spends days hammering the phones to the local offices. trying to figure out when are you coming back to the office or how many people are coming back to the office? they are saying they might welcome in december. might. in december. might. how worried are you? pretty worried. iwould like december. might. how worried are you? pretty worried. i would like to keep going. i've got energy. this is the only way forward. for some people, today might be the first new normal day back at work. but for many businesses, like nico's, it's just not enough. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. we're talking about a lot of workplaces trying to reopen. here another one for you. it's been a part of british entertainment for well over 200 years. but, like all live shows, the circus has been put on hold by the pandemic. now some big tops are

getting ready to re—open, but how do you socially distance a troupe of tumblers or a car—full of clowns? fiona lamdin is in portsmouth to find out. a very good morning to you. we have been talking all morning about the bittersweet nature of some of this reopening. it's happening, but not as we know it. yes, so this big top has been packed away in storage for nine months. but two days ago it went back up and this circus reopens tomorrow. it's been a really, really tricky time for circuses. 0nly tomorrow. it's been a really, really tricky time for circuses. only half of all touring circuses across the uk are now able to reopen. i've been looking back and seeing how many are struggling. this is barely methodical trip, one of london's acrobatic circuses in full flow. what is balanced and intertwined. now impossible in these new times where they can't touch. shows have been cancelled and this

rooftop, in the open air, has relu cta ntly rooftop, in the open air, has reluctantly become then you rehearsal space. to me it definitely doesn't work. pretty much everything we do, for example, when i do hansen ihad, we do, for example, when i do hansen i had, can't do that, there are loads of other tricks that require three, four people to be able to execute and obviously with the two metre thing you can't do that at all. di has worked in the circus for three decades. i like the circus, a lot bringing joy to people. it's what they do, it's what they love. in the last few months they have lost thousands. this virus has wiped everything out. but i think four our eyebombers particularly difficult. the government guidance as it stands at the moment is all for there to. it's as if you have to break the social distance of one metre then you have to do so very quickly. laughter. but he now shows we are always touching, catching, holding, or there to protect somebody in case

they fall. and across the country, in gloucestershire, gifford circus also faces similar hurdles. but the difference is there acrobatic at i married, so they are in the same bubble. i'm a dancer and he is in acrobat. unfortunately he is not a good dancer so a need to teach him a dance. lockdown means, for the first time in17 years, dance. lockdown means, for the first time in 17 years, they will now have to perform together. are you confident you will be able to pull it off? i'm sure, yes. laughter. it's going to be good. they have a good teacher. so these are costumes that have been ready to go since march and then lockdown happen so they have all been sitting in bags. we had done two days of rehearsal, eve ryo ne we had done two days of rehearsal, everyone had turned up, we had all met, we had all realised how much we we re met, we had all realised how much we were going to love doing it and doing the show, the costumes were nearly done and then we suddenly had to make the really difficult call to put it on hold. less than 5096 of

touring shows an hour reopening. gifford ‘s is in that camp, but there will be many changes. instead of 600 in the big top there will be 100. so you have to have the sides of the tent up. there's going to be a 1—way system in the tent. we have to increase ventilation with a fan. the front row will have to be two metres away from the ring box. back in london, things don't look so hopeful. the artists have families and flatmates, so can't form a bubble. di can't see how they'll survive. these are really troubling times for us. we don't know how to train or rehearse. it's possible that the company just won't continue. gifford its hopes to reopen in two weeks' time, but there shows will be distanced and different. well, coming to the circus, sitting in the audience, will feel very different. for a start, in the audience, will feel very different. fora start, if in the audience, will feel very different. for a start, if you sit on your own you have to have the two seats either side if you blocked off

and the rows behind they have also removed. but you don't have to wear masks, they are not compulsory, because everyone is facing the same way. let's come over to the founder, martin. martin, give us an idea how difficult it has been this last period. so is closed on my 17th. just close. —— said the circus closed on march 17. a lot of foreign are just were not able to get any assistance whatsoever from the government. their visas didn't allow them to get assistance. most of the people you can see in the circus ring behind me have been relying on the local foodbank from here in portsmouth who have been feeding them and, in the case of 12 mongolians, we had arranging a mercy flight mongolians, we had arranging a mercy flight back to mongolia for them. so without the assistance of the local people in portsmouth and southsea, we would not have survived until now. in your 50 years you have never seen anything like this? your 50 yea rs of seen anything like this? your 50 years of being in the circus? we have never been completely closed.

they have just 's band 20 weeks in a house. i've never spent 20 weeks in one place in my life stop —— i have just spent. tell me about the setting of some of the other changes. we have a 1-way system now, when you come in, you come in the doorto when you come in, you come in the door to my left and when you go as you go out the door to my right. you can access the toilets and essential popcorn and candy floss, but you go round ina popcorn and candy floss, but you go round in a 1—way system. otherwise, frankly, and the fact that the clown won't involve you in any of his gags, which many people will be relieved about, it's still the circus. it would still be the circus. it would still be the circus. it's what we do. martin, thank you very much. yes, the circus opens tomorrow. thank you very much for that. we go straight outdoors for that. we go straight outdoors for you. this is seenin seen in bristol. what a sight that is. matt is giving us idea of how the weather is bad across the uk. isn't that lovely? what a glorious

scene, charlie. interval sunshine. isn't that lovely? what a glorious scene, charlie. intervalsunshine. a treat. a balloon left with light winds. i have been lucky enough to do that with them in the past. vedel mist. cool start. the mist clearing away in the s3 at the moment. it is away in the s3 at the moment. it is a cool start to the week. temperatures by this afternoon down a little bit on when we should be for the time of year, 16—2122 celsius at the highest. what the turnaround though by the end of the week, a surge of heat is back for some of you, ridiculously across parts of wales and england and to the south—east corner we could see 34, maybe 35 celsius once again. the warmth will put a little bit further north but not to the same extent. that is a few days away. at that the moment we are most in between weather systems. some in central europe, one pushing into the bay of biscay, this one approaching for tomorrow. a fairly quiet weather day install. a few showers around at the moment, they flee not near bristol,

some in the west of scotland, some across the north of england and east anglia. a lot of dry and reasonably sunny weather to come through the morning. at the time we get to the afternoon a few shallow clouds were fog love again, particularly across northern, central, and eastern scotland. —— shallow clouds. when is a fairly low. even temperatures 17-22 it a fairly low. even temperatures 17—22 it will feel pleasant enough once you are in the sun. always feeling cool when the shallow clouds come your way. into tonight, showers across eastern areas will fade away. loud increases and the wind picks up. northern ireland and across scotla nd up. northern ireland and across scotland into the morning. we will see a breaks cushion. that leaves the damages. a note for england and wales. temperatures away from the towns of city centres in single figures. a different chart for tuesday and the high pressure squeezes off to the south, the hie keeps the dre. within some windy weather. gales developing across northern and western areas. assista nt ra n across northern and western areas. assistant ran across the western

half of scotland, thick lee the southern highlands, tuesday and wednesday. heavy rain into the north—west of northern ireland anna cross north—west england, was in parts of wales, low cloud develops with patchy rain or drizzle. much of england and wales will stay dry. reasonably bright and sunny towards parts of the midlands, east anglia, and the south—east where winds will be latest and temperatures starting to lift up here, up to 23 by this stage, sticking in the teens we have that rain. the rain remains in place tuesday night and wednesday for parts of scotland, northern ireland. as we go through into wednesday daytime, what we will see is an area of heavy rain just pushes way through wales into the western half of england, fade a little bit, stays dry in east anglia in the south—east, temperatures are starting to climb up into the upper 205. that's how was looking. charlie and nina will have your headlines next. good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and nina warhurst. our headlines today: a rapid new test for coronavirus that can deliver results

injust 90 minutes. 500,000 will be available from next week, millions more later this year. a flagship scheme to save the hospitality industry kicks in today. more than 72,000 restaurants sign up to offer half—price meals paid for by the government. a major incident is declared in greater manchester as officials ramp up their response to a rising number of covid—19 cases. splashdown! a safe landing for the first astronauts to splash down in us waters in 45 years. it's monday the third of august. our top story: millions of new tests for coronavirus that can give a result in 90 minutes will be rolled out from next week. most tests results are currently returned within 24 hours, but a quarter can take up to two days. 450,000 new tests will be made available to care homes and nhs laboratories from next week. millions more have been promised

by the end of the year. here's charlotte gallagher. in the fight against coronavirus and stopping people passing it on to others, testing is vital. but during the pandemic, government has been repeatedly challenged about its capacity to do so, and were sometimes unable to say precisely how many people had been tested. just yesterday, officials admitted there was a limited number of test kits for care homes, meaning the july target to routinely check all asymptomatic staff and residents has been pushed back to september. now, the department of health has announced a deal with two companies, based in oxford and london, to roll out kits that will provide results in 90 minutes. almost 500,000 tests will be available from next week across adult care settings, and hospitals are expected to receive them from september.

millions more of the tests are set to be rolled out later in the year. meanwhile, 5000 dna machines, which analyse nose swabs, will provide 5.8 million tests in the coming months. the tests, which will go to pop—up labs, will also be able to detect common winter illnesses, such as the flu. there is hopes that more widespread testing could flag localised outbreaks before they take hold and regional lockdowns have to be put in place. with concerns about an increase in cases in the winter and the strain that would place on the nhs, there will be calls for even more testing across the uk. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. from today, the government is hoping to see more of us returning to work and dining out as it launches plans to help boost the economy. let's take a quick look at some of the details. employers in england can now insist that staff return to the workplace, providing it is safe to do so —

however, many businesses have already indicated that they won't be making that calljust yet. in scotland, wales and northern ireland, the guidance remains to continue working from home. meanwhile, chancellor rishi sunak‘s eat out to help out scheme starts today. every monday, tuesday and wednesday throughout august, diners across the uk will be able to enjoy a discount of up to 50% on food and soft drinks. the government will meet the cost up to a value of £10 per person. our political correspondent nick eardley is in westminster. nick, the government tightened restrictions for millions of people on friday, and now they want us back at work, and eating out? yeah, morning. it is interesting because it feels like there has been a big change in the mood in government since the eat out to help out scheme was announced last month. things are considerably more cautious now. we had the brake pedal

being put down on easing of restrictions in england back on friday and the government warning it might have to take more action if cases of the virus start to increase. yet, at the same time, we are being told today and for the next few weeks to go out and have ourdinner in next few weeks to go out and have our dinner in restaurants and pubs and cafes to try and help the economy and i suppose the government would argue that if you're going to one of these restaurants, they are supposed to be covid secure, there is supposed to be mitigation in place to make sure you are protected from getting the virus and have some of those protections there but you know, things have definitely changed over the past few weeks and there is definitely the more cautious mood in government and more and more we are talking about which restrictions may come back and a slowing of the pace of opening up the economy rather than speeding it all up, as was the case one month ago when this was all announced. nick, thank you.

authorities in greater manchester have declared a major incident, as cases of coronavirus continue to rise. the announcement comes just days after the government announced tougher restrictions in the north—west of england. our reporter dave guest is in manchester this morning. can you go through what this measure means in practice? well, a major incident is usually declared when there is a big emergency going on so it may be fires or flooding and in this case of course in greater manchester they are not fighting a fire or trying to stem a flood but they are trying to stop a spike in coronavirus cases and across greater manchester in recent weeks we have seen the number of cases steadily rising and that has been a concern for the local authorities and for the government which is why we saw extra measures introduced on thursday. the figure they have been looking at is the number of people per 100,000 in the population who test positive and across greater

manchester there are wide variations. in wigan, it went from 4.6 people to eight people but in oldham it went from 41 to something like 62.8. so there is a concern that they need to do something about this before it gets out of control. they have been stressing the words major incident may seem scary but what they mean is they will have a central control, a way of getting more resources to try and make sure they get on top of it before it gets com pletely they get on top of it before it gets completely out of control. you were talking about eat out to help out, and here in greater manchester people can still go out and eat out but only with members of their own household. they must not mix with other people from their family or their friends other people from their family or theirfriends in other people from their family or their friends in pubs other people from their family or theirfriends in pubs and public places. i cannot go to one another‘s homes and gardens. they can meet up in groups of six in outdoor spaces and everyone in greater manchester is saying they hope these measures will be short lived and we will get

on top of this and it is a way of avoiding having to introduce even strict controls so they are looking for the public ultimate cooperation in making sure that the measures are followed and then hopefully they can bring the rates down. thank you. it's emerged that a woman who's alleged to have been raped by a conservative mp complained about his behaviour to the party's chief whip four months ago. the conservative mp and former minister, who hasn't been named, was arrested on saturday and then bailed by police investigating allegations of sexual offences and assault. it's now understood the chief whip, mark spencer, spoke with the complainant four months ago, but insists she didn't make an allegation of serious sexual assault. a spokesman for mr spencer has said he takes all allegations of harassment and abuse extremely seriously. the technology giant microsoft says it has spoken to president trump about buying into the video—sharing app tiktok. mr trump has threatened to ban the chinese—owned app, which has denied accusations that it shares its users' data with the authorities in beijing. microsoft has expressed an interest in buying

tiktok‘s north america operation. two us astronauts splashed down in the gulf of mexico last night, nine weeks after they set off to the international space station on a rocket provided by the commercialfirm, spacex. the company, owned by the technology billionaire, elon musk will now start charging nasa for a so—called "astronaut taxi service". our science correspondent rebecca morelle reports. 200 metres. we are braced for splashdown. mission control: copy. brace for splashdown. history in the making as the dragon capsule returns home. we have visual confirmation for splashdown. applause. the first private spacecraft to bring astronauts back to earth. dragon, spacex. separation confirmed. their journey began from the international space station. the spacecraft is owned by spacex.

inside, nasa's bob behnken and doug hurley are at the controls. as they hurtled through the earth's atmosphere, a heat shield protected them as temperatures reached up to 2000 degrees celsius. then, at last, a glimpse from the earth. we are visual on four chutes out. parachutes slow the rapid descent before splashdown. splashdown! this move to the commercial sector marks a major change. with the spacex reusable rockets and capsules, the cost of space flight is coming down. racing to the scene, the recovery vessel. local boats have come to take a look too. the scorched capsule is hoisted on board. there is a slight delay as noxious fumes from the landing are cleared. the hatch is now open. then, at last, the first breath of fresh air for two months, both astronauts now out and ready to head home to see their families. it is the end of their mission, but a new era in commercial space

flight is just beginning. this has been a, quite an odyssey, the last five, six, seven, eight years — five years since bob and i started working on this programme. and to be where we are now, the first crewed flight of dragon, is just unbelievable. there's something special about having that capability to launch and bring your own astronauts home, and we went through a lot of years without that capability and i think we are both super, super proud to have beenjust a small part of the team that accomplished bringing those space flights back to the florida coast and bringing that capability back to america. rebecca morelle, bbc news. let's return to our top story now and the government's announcement of new tests that can detect coronavirus within 90 minutes being rolled out at care homes from next week.

the innovation was hailed as a "life—saver" by the health secretary matt hancock. let's get a view from professor tom solomon, director of the uk's research unit in emerging infections, at the university of liverpool. good morning to you. morning. for eve ryo ne good morning to you. morning. for everyone who is hearing this for the first time, can you describe what the 90 minute test is? what is the procedure and how does it work in practice? the test is going to be similarto practice? the test is going to be similar to those we have had already in detecting the virus nuclear cassettes but in the past, tests have had to be done via a swab and sent to a laboratory, what we now haveis sent to a laboratory, what we now have is a test which can be done in the place where the sample has been taken and also the new case, it is not with a no swab, it can be done based on saliva as well so the sample will be taken and it will be tested locally where it is taken with a piece of kit and the pieces

of equipment that will be used is a hand—held and another is a laptop size and it will tell within 90 minutes whether the patient has the virus that causes covid—19 and also, importantly, it is testing for other viruses which we know we will see more of the winter comes such as flu viruses. so two key elements, the speed at which the results are known and the other is, by the sounds of it, the portability and practicality of the system? yes, because currently what happens when the test is taken it has to be sent to a laboratory and it takes 24—48 hours for a result and clearly having a result in 90 minutes will make a big difference. we understand that this is to be rolled out from next week. when you hear that phrase and you hear about the numbers that they are talking about, what difference do you think this can make and what circumstances is this most useful

for? as i understand it there will be 500,000 tests available from next week and will be used in care homes and also hospital settings. but potentially, we have talked the last couple of weeks about quarantining of returning travellers, et cetera, and an alternative approach which is to test travellers when they come back and perhaps test them on arrival and again a few days later and this kind of rapid testing which just can be done by anybody, you do not need any medical or scientific training, you need basic training to ta ke training, you need basic training to take the sample and put the cartridge in the kit, this kind of thing might be able to be used in places like airports, again, which we re places like airports, again, which were bigoted difference. talk about how this would work in care homes —— which would make a big difference. talk about how this would work in ca re talk about how this would work in care homes because you say you don't need specialist training?” care homes because you say you don't need specialist training? i have not seen it used in detail but my understanding is the sample would be taken and put into a cartridge which is put into the piece of equipment.

so the whole point of these kind of approaches is you are moving away from a sophisticated laboratory, much closer to the patient, and with much closer to the patient, and with much less sophistication so i think a basic amount of training would be needed but i do not think it is anything more than you would need, it is like something like using a microwave or a piece of kitchen equipment. why was there a delay because other countries have brought in these quick results test systems. why was it we did not have them yet? actually, the company oxford nano poor who are behind one of the kits have really led the field in terms of rapid nuclear casa testing in the field close to the bedside. so i think the basic technology is something that we lead on in the country. i'm not sure why it has taken this amount of time to reach this point and i know that some tests in general have been brought in and found to not be up to the mark and have had to be withdrawn

andi mark and have had to be withdrawn and i imagine with this one people wa nted and i imagine with this one people wanted to be absolutely sure it is working properly. we know there are certain parts of the uk, manchester for example, where they are concerned about the rise in cases and when you look at that, concerned are you about what is happening there? well, i do not think there is any doubt that now, as we have eased lockdown, the number of cases are slowly starting to rise and it is happening in manchester and other parts of the country and so we have to make rapid decisions about how we're going to stop this happening and in manchester they have taken the decision about reducing contact within the house because this seems to be where a lot of the transmission is occurring, but we have to make these kind of decisions across the whole country over the coming weeks and months but one of things that will help us is the ability to very quickly diagnose individuals and identify all of their contacts and shut down on that so these kind of new technologies will assist with that. and in terms

of the, what, there has been discussions about various terminologies around this, second wave or a second spike in cases and politicians have been looking very much towards europe and what we are seeing there, but how do you see that scenario? well, we have seen an increase in cases in europe and i think it is a bit of a distraction to be too concerned about, i have heard talk ofa concerned about, i have heard talk of a second wave coming from europe, we have our own virus, ran cases in the uk, and as lockdown eases those are going to increase so we will have to do things locally to stop that happening. you only get a second wave you don't do anything about the cases you are discovering that we are now doing things about the cases we are discovering. we are having to reverse some of the easing of lockdown and we are having to implement measures. other is going to be the pattern over the next few weeks and months, we will see increased cases. as long as we can react locally that will stop a

bigger break across the whole country stop by professor, thank you very much your time. professorjohn solomon from the university of liverpool. pubs, restaurants and hairdressers in leicester can re—open today, a month after those nearly everywhere else in england. the city remained in a strict lockdown after a spike in covid cases, but some restrictions will remain in place. our reporter geeta pendse is in leicester this morning. good morning to you. a long wait for the people of leicester. is there a sense of excitement about this unlocked? absolutely. such a long wait. it's five weeks since lester became the first place to put into this localised lockdown in the country. from today, as you mentioned, pubs, restau ra nt, from today, as you mentioned, pubs, restaurant, and hairdressers can reopen. we will see the reopening of places like cinemas, museums, and places like cinemas, museums, and places of worship, providing they stick to the guidelines. there are similar restrictions still in place. different households can't meet

indoors or in the garden and places like leisure centres, gyms, and pulls won't be reopening just yet. i'm with someone who has been following this very closely over the last few weeks, the mayor of leicester, sir peter salisbury, how are you feeling this morning? very pleased, very relieved. think what we are now getting is the level of restrictions we frankly should have had from the start. very crude citywide lockdown was very heavy to ta ke citywide lockdown was very heavy to take to a whole city. i think we have now got the option of actually focusing on the areas of the city where we do have some still transmission of the virus in the way we should have done five weeks ago. you have been quite critical of the way this has been handled. but the infection rate has gone down from where it was at the start of the lockdown here. so you could say that the rules have been effective.” think what's been effective as the people of leicester have been very sensible in the way in which they have responded to the lockdown. but, frankly, you didn't need that very

crude lockdown to achieve the reduction in transmission. it was already falling. it is still frustrating to us and has been all the way through this we are just not getting, even now, the data we need to know exactly where the virus is in the communities, was communities, neighbourhoods, streets, which are that's what we need to know. and we're still, unfortunately, not getting it. we are in the city centre at the moment. it is a gorgeous morning and hopefully lots of restaurants, bars, hairdressers will reopen. but what has this delay in easing down to businesses here? has been very hard on leicester businesses. we were promised at the outset of the health secretary there would be proper compensation for our businesses. what we have had is a pittance impaired with what is needed. if you hundred pounds per business and they need much more than that. —— a few hundred pounds. asa than that. —— a few hundred pounds. as a city we're going to have a major struggle to catch up the rest of the uk. we will do it, but they haven't made it easy for us. do you

think people will come out. there has been this extended lockdown. are you worried people might feel cautious this morning?” you worried people might feel cautious this morning? i think you will take a little while for the city to get back into full swing. but it will. we are a very proud and self—confident city and i have no doubt at all we will bounce back. will you be going for a haircut this week? i think i need will you be going for a haircut this week? i think! need to! will you be going for a haircut this week? ithinki need to! iwill be indy going for a haircut and have already booked my appointment. sir peter salisbury, the mayor of leicester. lots of those restrictions are easing. some are still in place. but if you live in leicester you can go for a haircut and perhaps have a pint at some point this week. geeta pendse in leicester. thank you. let us take you outdoors forjust a moment. look at the sky bristol this morning. it is the balloon fiesta that happens every year. you are probably familiar with the site. it is on a much smaller

scale. usually they have up to 150 - 160 learns. we take these pictures every year because they are glorious. as we were saying earlier, whether as a will there is a way. they have not been deterred or deflated by coronavirus. instead of 150 also, 50 balloons living on a staggered timetable to make sure that social distancing can be maintained on the ground and, of course, in the air, otherwise it is dangerous in both senses. but still going ahead. and what a day for it. we were talking to ben, the organiser of the event a little while ago, he has said, the last few yea rs, while ago, he has said, the last few years, they normally have it at the weekend, they have had awful weather with rain and bad conditions, this morning, by all accounts, with rain and bad conditions, this morning, by allaccounts, eye with rain and bad conditions, this morning, by all accounts, eye and by no means an expert on learning, they say perfect conditions. it is such a, it isa say perfect conditions. it is such a, it is a calming sight to see them wafting... i think the last one just taking off behind the trees. we have seen them gradually lifting off from

just before seven o'clock this morning. it is typical. the one morning. it is typical. the one morning —— you can't have them all taking off together. usually brings up taking off together. usually brings up to £20 million to the local economy. won't be seeing that then from the half a million visitors also. still persevering. we will keep an eye on those pictures for you. if you are in that area looks skywa rd you. if you are in that area looks skyward and you. if you are in that area looks skywa rd and you you. if you are in that area looks skyward and you will see the balloons passing by. it is a 7:22am. residents of the australian city of melbourne have been ordered to stay at home every night for the next six weeks. it's part of a strict new lockdown imposed on the state of victoria, following a rise in coronavirus infections. 13 deaths were reported there in the last day. lisbeth gorr is a journalist based in melbourne. we can speak to her now. this a very good morning to you. thanks forjoining us. a real blow to residents there who thought the virus had gone. yes, it is. exactly what our premier, dan andrews, described today as heartbreaking. so they have invoked measures which yesterday were all about how we live

and today, which is actually still going, a lengthy and extensive q&a segment with dan andrews and the chief health officer brett sutton in progress about how we work. and apart from the fact that we have a cu rfew, apart from the fact that we have a curfew, meaning we have to be in our homes between 8pm and 5am in the morning, so many businesses have been told now that they either have to shut down completely all they have to curtail their activities in terms of how many people they can actually have on—site. it's stopping people moving round. that's the heartbreaking decision we were informed of just now. heartbreaking decision we were informed ofjust now. and how have people responded to that? it is a massive change in lifestyle and very quickly. well... everyone is still walking. they have an hour in the day when they can go out and exercise. there is a five kilometre radius around which you can move in terms of shopping and getting things

done and exercising. children are being homeschooled and, in fact, senior students, years 11 and 12, he went back to school for face—to—face learning, have been told they have to return to remote learning. that is happening all around victoria. i think you and rabbi mentioned to you that metropolitan melbourne and the greater state of victoria were operating in dual restrictions stop so melbourne itself is locked down and slightly in shock, they have to say. where i am, which is bayside on port phillip bay, the only bottom of victoria, just before you swim across to tasmania, people are still walking, but it is not nearly as crowded. my left there is a children's playground, completely empty, boarded over, you cannot use it. as the lady who served me my cell —— sourdough bread told me today, people still have to wait. they can take you through some of the restrictions, if you like, slightly even more draconian than new zealand had, in some ways, and

more blurry around the edges in others. are you interested to know exactly what has been announced? yes. we touch early on what has been announced, but the state premier, daniel andrews, has said it's a case of mystery cases which is causing the issue. is that the concern that australia has prided itself on knowing where these initial cases have come from, been able to trace them, and deal with the smaller breakouts and this is happening under the radar, if you like? absolutely. that's why they have shut us down. yesterday there was something like 602, maybe 750 they called the mystery cases, where they cannot source them through contact tracing. the premier said if we have 750 also mystery cases that we know of, how many are there that we don't know of? and so there is a snap decision, just like that, guess what, go home, from eight o'clock last night, that was a sunday night, you are in until five

last night, that was a sunday night, you are in untilfive a.m.. today in town, around flinders street station, as you know, is a bustling heart of our city and a tourist destination, virtually empty and people are still thinking, well, guess there's not much to do after eight at night in melbourne at the moment anyway. everything is shut. when it comes to crossing into different australian states, is that allowed ? different australian states, is that allowed? no. the borders are shot. no—one was a victorian at the moment. and any sense of how long this will last for? how long the measures will be in place? so, initially, we have been told now six weeks. a decision was made we could either let things go for six months through to december and see us plateau. they reiterated today, the government, that they thought our level three restrictions were working but it was too slow and had plateaued so we would continue to see more deaths and more cases of 400 - 500 see more deaths and more cases of 400 — 500 today which was not good enough. and dan andrews said he wasn't sure it would work if we left

it as it was. so they have given themselves a six—week period you bang it on he head, get rid of it, shut it down, finish it off. there are some industries that have been told from midnight wednesday they have to shot completely. supermarkets, grocery stores, bakeries, butchers, pharmacies, they can stay open, essential services, obviously. construction sites have had the people who are allowed on site at any one time reduced. abattoirs are 25% reduction in the workforce and people have to wear protective clothing and dress as health workers. so it is big news. ok, health workers. so it is big news. 0k, lisbeth gorr in melbourne. i'm sure we will be back with you soon. thank you. you are watching bbc breakfast. still to come: more than 30 whales become stranded in uk waters every year. we'll hear from one of the volunteers who helped this one back to safety near hartlepool over the weekend. we'll also bring you the latest news and weather. it is 7:27. now let's get the weather with matt.

a very good morning to you. 38. what is the meaning of that? last friday, nina. whata is the meaning of that? last friday, nina. what a surge of heat that was across the country. a very good morning. the third warmest day on record here in the uk. it's change quite drastically sent. but i'm here to give you news that some of that heat will be back again this friday. we could see temperatures again hit the mid— 305 in some parts of the country. a fair few days away and it doesn't feel medically warmer there. temperatures below where they should be for the time of year. nice enough, like it has been over the weekend, with the sunshine is out. we're using a shower two your way and the cloud blots out the sun that you start to notice the cooler breeze that is with us. at the moment we are effectively between weather systems, one across central europe, one approaching for tomorrow. here we are in the gap in between. plaintiff sunshine. a few showers so far this morning. a few running through parts of yorkshire, lincolnshire, east anglia. one or two in the west. most places start the day dry with some sunny spells. assemblages right through the day we

will see charlotte kalla fog love, medically across parts of scotland, north and eastern england including the midlands will have a sharper shower this afternoon. even the odd rumble of thunder. more of you will spend the day dry today. nice enough for the sun on your back. 17—21. it will fill cool out of the sunshine. a note to come for england and wales. this is where showers stay clearest longest. a cloud and rain spreading to western scotland and northern ireland later. some will become heavy and persistent. it will keep temperatures in double figures. the wind will pick up for tomorrow. that's because we're squeezed between high pressure to the south, low pressure to the north. and they are closer together there when you will be. with some weather fronts. they were dated coming western scotland. the rain pretty relentless across the southern highlands. heavy rain to the north—west of northern ireland and it was north—west england and wales, plenty of that round. apache light rain andrew thorburn, go. some of the brightest weather will be to the south and east where the winds will be latest. when scalf was across the west at

times. that will keep temperatures back. we it averages rise across east anglia the south—east, up 22— 23 degrees by the end of tuesday. but through tuesday night into wednesday, notice how the rain remains across parts of western scotland. could see some minor flooding. further heavy rain in northern ireland. wednesday day, brightstars for england and wales, heavy rain in the morning and wales, was into western of england, turning showery is a goes eastwards. east anglia the south—east stay dry, temperatures into the upper 205. starting to lift a little bit elsewhere. it will lift further. the affrunti most of the rain fizzles out. one or two showers around. the capital city forecast gives you a little flavour of what to expect as we go through the second half of the week. we're keeping our highs on friday for the potential heat returning again. england and wales was the hottest conditions, widely into the upper 205 if not low to mid 305. even scotland and northern ireland, not as hot, pleasant enough we have the sunshine. that is how it is looking.

hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and nina warhurst. going back to our top story now. millions of new test for coronavirus that will give you a result in 90 minutes. more results are returned within 24 hours but a quarter can ta ke within 24 hours but a quarter can take up to two days. the business minister joins take up to two days. the business ministerjoins us now. thank you for your time. coming ministerjoins us now. thank you for yourtime. coming up ministerjoins us now. thank you for your time. coming up with some of the other issues to do with the economy in a moment but the 90 minute test, the phrase used by the government is these will be rolled out from next week. doesn't mean they will be working next week? people will be tested with the new 90 minute test? yes. so the oxford test, 450,000 of those will be rolled out from next week. then the dna nudged test from the brilliant krista marzo, these are

machines that we brought 5000 of that we will go into the nhs, into la bs that we will go into the nhs, into labs and other settings. again, they will be in place by the beginning of september. we hope to be conducting about 5.8 million of those tests in the coming months as well. this is a game changer because the ability to doa game changer because the ability to do a test byjust over an hour, or 90 minutes, will make a massive difference to our responsible to coronavirus, whether at hospitals, if somebody is coming in for surgery and people need to know quickly if they have got coronavirus, you need to be able to test rapidly and get those results that are accurate. recently, at the end of last week, we know that the government pledge ofa we know that the government pledge of a tear —— care home testing, the rate of resident of testing and staff was meant to just start on july the six and now has been pushed back to september seven. so it was

an announcement made just at the end of last week. does this change anything? will these priority for this test be to be used in a care home setting? at the moment we continue to deliver 50,000 tests a day into care homes and care home settings, as you put it, 50,000 tests a day. this will make further differences because being able to administer these tests without any clinical training is another game changer with these new tests announced today, these two new machines, so this will make a difference. the question about the announcement i'm a fortnight ago matt hancock came to parliament to talk about the test where we are having problems with and it does not ta ke having problems with and it does not take away from a commitment to make sure we test across the care home settings in our country but he did come to parliament and explain this particular test that we are looking

to replace very rapidly, delivery 50,000 tests a day into care homes. it isa 50,000 tests a day into care homes. it is a significant announcement in relation to the economy so talking about eat out to help out, launched today, monday, tuesday, wednesday, the government picking up half of the government picking up half of the tab if you go to a restaurant that are signed up for it. what do you expect will be the result of this game? i think people will go out and support the restaurants and i think they will do it in their local restaurants, certainly from, speaking to constituents in stratford—on—avon, my constituency, people want to support great local restau ra nts, people want to support great local restaurants, great independent restau ra nts a nd restaurants, great independent restaurants and their favourite chains as well. i think it will make a huge difference. for people who obviously have been squeezed by coronavirus in terms of value for money but also to an industry, and the restaurant industry employs millions of people, usually skews

much younger, more female, more be ame and lower incomes, this is a huge support so i am looking forward to going out and using the eat out to going out and using the eat out to help out scheme to make sure that me and my family enjoy a nice meal over the next few days —— bame. me and my family enjoy a nice meal over the next few days -- bame. you will be having a half—price meal, will be having a half—price meal, will you? i will be going out and helping those restaurants in stratford—on—avon and london where i can. of course. i think it is the right thing to do. you could presumably choose to pay full price, couldn't you ? presumably choose to pay full price, couldn't you? well, as i said, it is worth all of us going out and if the government is supporting the sector, why not? should all absolutely make sure that we go out and enjoy that and by the way, it is not half price because it is capped at £10 per person in the restaurant so just make sure that people don't i don't wa nt to make sure that people don't i don't want to over set expectations on your programme. i want to talk about some of the mixed messaging because of people are well aware, the end of

week the prime minister put the bra kes week the prime minister put the brakes on the easing of some restrictions. because of some concern about certain places in the covid—19 infection rates. today, you are suggesting people should go out and eat out. now, you look at a place like manchester, which we understand in the north—west there are more than 4 million people who are more than 4 million people who are now subject to restrictions which mean, for example, they cannot have friends or family into the garden to meet up but they can go to a resta u ra nt garden to meet up but they can go to a restaurant to sit next to people who they don't know. now, some people may think that is mixed messaging. well, just a few things to say. one, as we look at how the virus is spreading, the data that is coming back clearly demonstrates that the virus is spreading indoors where people are going into each other‘s homes and mixing, hence why

the guidance changed. if you look at our local response in a place like leicester, working with the local leadership and getting the response in place quickly and getting it right, seeing the incidents fall, then you again to ease the lockdown or those restrictions. that is the right response to deliver. it doesn't mean we shouldn't be supporting the restaurant and hospitality sector which has been the hardest hit. people can still go out. but of course they will go out, you know, maximum of two families outdoors, not indoors, but is the right response because we know, as we learn more about how the virus behaves, we quite rightly, i think, respond with a change in behaviour ourselves. that is and the prime minister said, now it is all of our hands, face and space. wash your hands, face and space. wash your hands, don't touch your face, cover your face hands, don't touch your face, cover yourface and hands, don't touch your face, cover your face and make sure you exercise common sense and space, in terms of

social distancing, that you provide one another and that is the way we defeat the virus. it doesn't take away from us wanting to support the restau ra nt away from us wanting to support the restaurant industry. responsibly. so if you look at an area like greater manchester which now is subject to what is being called a major incident which is to do with the ability of the local authorities and the police to react, doesn't seem appropriate that while you were telling people there is a major incident in their area, they are subject to specific restrictions, that you are also saying go out and eat ina that you are also saying go out and eat in a restaurant? quick question, charlie. major incident is a standard way of local government declaring a major incident so that the response, the police response and other public services, can access the support they need. that is why manchester rightly so has called it a major incident. as i said, the way we respond as we look at the data coming back, the data suggests is most prevalent in its

spread through people coming into contact indoors, in their homes, with other people. and so we respond it doesn't mean that restaurants in manchester, outdoor spaces, cannot continue to serve if people follow the guidelines and act responsibly. so, in the same theme, this is an important day in terms of encouraging people to go back to work. to their workplaces. now, there will be people who have been shielding, for example, were also being asked and possibly required to go back to work today who might be really concerned. concerned about the risk and the fact that not least psychologically they could find it a struggle to go back into the workplace and it will be a difficult day for them if their employers tell them to get back into the office. my message to them, and i am the business and industry minister, charlie, is that the employer should act responsibly and they have a

responsibility to their workforce to consult with them, to discuss with them what the best way of them working years, and they could work from home as an option but if the employer feels that it is safe and they actually have addressed the safety of working in an office or other work setting then they can discuss that. if the employee is unhappy with that, there are ways of them being able to deal with that through getting in touch with their local council, and of course those who belong to a union through their union and we are in constant discussions with employers and the unions and of course public health england to make sure that this is delivered in the safest way possible. we want the economy to restart. we want employers to act responsibly, to discuss with their workers how they want to move forward with their business. that is the right thing to do but it doesn't ta ke the right thing to do but it doesn't take away from someone's absolute

right if they feel uncomfortable to stay to the employer i do not feel co mforta ble stay to the employer i do not feel comfortable coming back to work. just one last question which is not linked to coronavirus, if i may. do you think it is the right decision by the conservative party, we know a conservative mp has been arrested on suspicion of rape. do you think it is right for that mp to continue sitting in the house of commons? should he be suspended by the party? first of all, these are very serious allegations. there is a police investigation, charlie, taking place andi investigation, charlie, taking place and i think it is only right that we wait for the investigation to conclude before you will hear from the chief with as to the action that the chief with as to the action that the conservative party will take. —— chief whip. it is wrong to speculate before we see the complete investigation. you will see others ta ke investigation. you will see others take the opposite view which is by way of a statement, the conservative party should suspend first and await

then what happens next. look, as i said, this is a really serious allegation. there is a police investigation. these type of things, when we then find out the details after an investigation has concluded people begin to understand why the conservative party and the chief whip is taking the decision the way he has taken those decisions. i think it is only right that we wait for that police investigation to be completed and then you will hear from chief whip. it would be com pletely from chief whip. it would be completely wrong for me to speculate any further. i am sorry about that. thank you for your time this morning. when a minke whale became stranded off the coast of hartlepool this weekend, it took a group of volunteers to rescue it by wading into the north sea. here they are on on saturday morning. you can see some of the pictures there. one of them was daniel fox, from the british divers marine life rescue team. hejoins us now from middlesbrough.

good morning to you. great pictures there. talk through what happened because the whale had become stranded, not beached? what did you have to do to set it in the right direction? morning. so, yeah, with a normal rescue, when we go out with the whale, nine times out of ten it is on the land. so my first concern when we got there was that the whale was on its side. which was, it could have drowned. so my first major point was actually to get it upright. so we could try to assess the situation and see if it was ill or not. once we had got it upright, with great help from the coastguard and the local lifeguards on the beach, and some of the medics, we

got it upright and we waited the pontoons, —— weighted. a specialist helped us to get the whale refloated. as we were popping the whale on the pontoons, we merely inflated the pontoons so we nearly had it secured and the whale then decided, we had held it up long enough and it was going to swim out to ta ke enough and it was going to swim out to take its own path. which is a great time because it means it was healthy and could find its own family, i presume, but it means you could not carry out the test to make sure it was healthy? yeah. that is it. like i said we were trying to secure it so we could fully assess it. so we could see a quick assessment of it and get it checked out before we released it but like

you say, it is... what a place to be! exactly. from the size of it, we understand it is a juvenile whale. is there any danger if it then cannot find its way back to its mother because presumably it is still weaning. so, mickey wells give birth during wintertime and the calves stay with them until they are about 4— six months, so it could have been winning or it could have been weaned —— minke wales. wejust hope it wasn't. we hope it is independent now. let's hope so. thank you for talking to us this morning, daniel. amazing, it is all volunteers who do that. these are —— thousands of cases every year. great images. it isa 7:45am. there are certain things that simply won't wait — even during a pandemic. the arrival of babies

is one of them. over 400 were born at bradford royal infirmary‘s maternity unit during june — and some of these lockdown births will feature in a bbc panorama documentary tonight, presented by stacey dooley. let's take a look. all wards in the maternity unit have been divided into red zone '5 and green zone '5. red means covid infected, green means clean. so there is a lady who has just given birth, she hasjust of there is a lady who has just given birth, she has just of covid positive, they have got to transfer herfrom this positive, they have got to transfer her from this red zone to another red zone upstairs. so should we keep the corridor clear now? close the door. all right, thank you. we are to come in and close the door and then we are allowed back out once she has left. here we are. here we are. thank you ever so much. can you

imagine, you'vejust are. thank you ever so much. can you imagine, you've just given are. thank you ever so much. can you imagine, you'vejust given birth, you've tested positive for a deadly virus and you've now got to isolate. it's already such an anxious time, isn't it? covid on top of that. we speak to katie mahon who had a baby at bradford royal. a c—section at 28 weeks, because of pre—eclampsia, not covid. how mr covid intensified what was already an intense time of your family? covid intensified what was already an intense time of your family7m was already unreal because i was... because they didn't know how busy the hospital would be... inaudible. ididn't the hospital would be... inaudible. i didn't know. they hadn't seen for myself any of the measures in place so a... inaudible.

soidid, so a... inaudible. so i did, i'm very glad... inaudible. they will tell you what. we have one or two problems with your sound at the moment. we will stick with it for the moment. the first thing they wa nt to for the moment. the first thing they want to say is introduce us to your new baby, baby jacob, want to say is introduce us to your new baby, babyjacob, it is, is jacob asleep right now? and how is baby jacob? i can show you jacob. don't make her wake him baby jacob? i can show you jacob. don't make herwake him up, charlie, at this time? the images are just a... alp icher i think you. oh, look at him! —— the images are just, just look at him. as nina was saying, it isa look at him. as nina was saying, it is a stressful time anyway. but being in the ward, i know you were concerned just afterjake was born, that you yourself have possibly contracted covid. yes. jacob was in

icu and... inaudible. and ijust, my mind went to all kinds of different places. they really thought that... inaudible. iam really thought that... inaudible. i am really sorry. katie, really thought that... inaudible. iam really sorry. katie, i hope really thought that... inaudible. i am really sorry. katie, i hope you can hear us. we have one or two problems with hearing you. it is probably ourfaults, problems with hearing you. it is probably our faults, not yours. we got a glimpse ofjacob, which is great. we will come back to when he sounded little better. and most importantly, katie, congratulations onjacob's birth importantly, katie, congratulations on jacob's birth and importantly, katie, congratulations onjacob's birth and getting home safe and sound after what must have beena safe and sound after what must have been a traumatic time. thank you and sincere apologies for the technical difficulties this morning. it is 7:49. it is one of those things that happen sometimes. we will have this problem every once in a while. we got to see gorgeous jacob. the italian city of genoa is inaugurating a new bridge, almost two years since the collapse of the bridge which killed 43 people. the new structure is designed by renzo

piano, who was from the city, and designed the shard in london. mark lowen reports. child singing. an elegy for genoa's tragedy. the final piece by the renowned italian composer ennio moricone before he died last month, written in memory of the 43 victims of the genoa bridge collapse two years ago. a requiem for one of the worst infrastructure disasters in modern italian history, played to a city still in mourning. cymbals crash. shouting. 11:36am on the 14th of august, 2018, a corroded cable—stay on the morandi bridge tears apart, bringing over 200 metres of it cascading to the ground. drivers and residents crushed by the icon of their city. the genoese architect, renzo piano, whose designs include the shard in london and paris' pompidou centre

recalls the old bridge opening in 1967. morandi bridge was for me kind of a fantastic, brave example of engineering. everybody loved that bridge. everybody also was a bit frightened by the fragility of the bridge. bridge should never collapse. they don't have the right to collapse. piano's bridge echoes a ship sweeping across this port city. sensors and robots ensuring its safety. 2,000 solar panels providing its energy. this is my brother, roberto. samuele, my nephew. and my sister—in—law. but it won't ease the pain here. george robbiano was due to celebrate his brother's birthday on that fateful day. his eight—year—old nephew was the youngest victim. i feel my heart like, split in two, 0k? and one part is missing.

this new bridge isjust made with the blood of my brother, my nephew, and my sister and the other 40 persons that lost their lives. and there's nothing to celebrate. the old bridge's maintenance company and successive governments stand accused of years of neglect, despite warnings the steel was corroding. 71 people are being investigated, with a trial expected soon. translation: it's absolutely understandable that people want justice and that they want it as fast as possible. i want to assure them that we're doing our utmost to deliver it with all of the resources and latest technology we have, for the sake of those who lost their families, homes, work, and for the whole community of genoa. the disaster shone a spotlight beyond the morandi bridge — on this country's ageing infrastructure. several other viaducts have collapsed over the years in italy with its economic stagnation. but now it's hoped that the rebuilding,

too, can have a wider impact to show that new projects can go up quickly and efficiently here, and to bring pride back to italian engineering. italy is able to do this sort of thing. i don't understand why. it would simple become possible. one, you have attraction... a hole in the heart of this city has been filled, but it will take time to heal. mark lowen, bbc news, genoa. around this time of year, the sky above bristol is normally filled with hot—air balloons. well, here's some good news — despite covid—19 the event has still ta ken place — although on a much smaller scale and without the usual crowds of spectators. let's speak to balloon pilot clive bailey, who has just touched down. things have been different. good morning. first of all, how was it?

good morning. it was fabulous. it was a perfect morning. it is not the fiesta we normally have. we had 42 balloons instead of 140 balloons, but it is a perfect moment —— morning. we flew out from us in court. we kept it a secret to avoid crowds. we have landed down in the valley, we went over the extended line from bristol airport, traffic we re line from bristol airport, traffic were great, we had richard goodwin and his bit special do a smiley face. it is a good morning. talk us through how it works in practice. we assume the balloon behind you is your balloon. a seen quite a few on board. how is this social distancing thing working? so we can't fly our big passenger balloons at the moment because of the social distancing. that is one family in the balloon there. we can fly a maximum of five passengers. the big balloons are grounded at the moment and these are small balloons with small groups and

are. you have been directing the fiesta for 20 years. somebody else you ina fiesta for 20 years. somebody else you in a pub if yourtake fiesta for 20 years. somebody else you in a pub if your take on the role and you did. how much of a difference did it make? is it spoil things, this year, i mean. this year. of course it has. because normally we would have up to half a million people over the weekend come to bristol. more than 50% of those people come from over 50 miles away. it brings up to £16 million into the local economy and is a fun weekend with 140 balloons. we're just local economy and is a fun weekend with 140 balloons. we'rejust doing this one flight to say we are still here, bristol. you won't attempted to cancel? no, well, we have cancelled the event itself. the balloon fiesta is completely cancelled and we have just done what we call a fly balls so people can stay in the gardens and see the balloons this one morning. so the event is cancelled. for those people have never been in a can you describe for us the magic of it. what is the thing that is so special

about going up in a balloon? well, millions of people want to go enabling they just haven't millions of people want to go enabling theyjust haven't realised it yet, i can assure you. one of my passenger said it is a bit like an out of body experience. i don't quite know what an out of body experience is but it is if you can imagine being on a magic carpet, there is no wind, you are floating through the air. the only noise you haveis through the air. the only noise you have is the burners every now and then. it is a properly beautiful bird's eye view of the ground below. and what about next year? i suppose none of us can know for sure. presumably you are optimistic we can go back to normal? welcome i think we are all hoping that. all the businesses and the tragic loss of life this has caused, we are all hoping that we will get through this year and get back to normal. we will start planning the event in a couple of weeks time, which we normally do and will plan it is a normal year and will plan it is a normal year and take it as it comes. clive, we're just about to go to matt with

the weather, you have been a andy ellis basanta, the weather, you have been a andy ellis basa nta, what the weather, you have been a andy ellis basanta, what is the weather like up there? —— and you can tell us first hand. i was at 2000 feet and we had southerly tracks. a northerly wind at 40 knots a 2000 feet and about two knots or three miles an houron feet and about two knots or three miles an hour on the surface. it is perfect. the weather forecast was slightly out on the wind direction up slightly out on the wind direction up there but it was good. there were good. lovely talking to you. i'm glad it happened today. a wonderful spectacle as always. nice to speak to you. matt, were you listening just then? 2000 feet up. a good detailed weather forecast there. and by all accounts, here said the wind direction was slightly wrong. yeah, thanks, clive. i have no—one thing is. they have been up there flying with him. it is very peaceful to go up with him. it is very peaceful to go up there, you are floating with the wind. a good job here had today, for

the middle part of their weekly the winds are certificate. it is fairly come out that across the country. a beautiful start. here it is in weymouth from one of our weather watchers. blue skies overhead. a little on the cool side at the moment. that will change as we go through this week. this afternoon, for instance, damages could be cut 21-22 in for instance, damages could be cut 21—22 in the south—east corner. watch what happens as we go through towards the end of the week. remember last week we saw the surge in heat, another surge in heat has come back and we could see damages to 35 degrees in the south—east. a few days away at the moment. for today a window of fine weather. a weather system across central europe and one approaching for tomorrow, it will bring the weapon when weather. a future was scattered around at the moment across parts of scotland, northern and eastern england, most of those will fade for a time. dry and bright weather through this morning. by the end of the morning, shumba class war fog love once again. most regular across parts of scotla nd again. most regular across parts of scotland and across northern

ireland, northern england, is only in the south—east, marschall showers develop into the afternoon. the outside chance of the odd heavy one with the odd rumble of thunder. cool when the showers come your way but in the sunshine 17— 21 celsius. strong sunshine overhead. it will feel pleasant enough. going through this evening and overnight, showers fade for a time, clear skies. and then the next weather system coming m, then the next weather system coming in, northern ireland ran through the second half of the night, spreading into the west of scotland. temperatures lowest in rural parts of england and wales, well down into single figures. you are closer to high pressure, a trade a competitive further north. with low pressure, high pressure by close by, it gives the stronger winds on tuesday. when such a gale for the north and west, persistent rain across western scotland, particularly in the southern highlands, ran to the north and west of northern ireland late in the day. patchy rain and drizzle with lots of low cloud around the bills and coast of western england and wales. much of a stay dry tomorrow, brightest before the south and east you are with winds our

latest annual start to feel a little warmer temperatures at 23 degrees. as we go through tuesday night into wednesday the rains is there a scotla nd wednesday the rains is there a scotland and northern ireland for a time and on wednesday outbreaks of rain will gradually push eastwards. nina and charlie will have your headlines next. good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and nina warhurst. our headlines today: a game—changing new test for coronavirus that can deliver results injust 90 minutes — half a million will be available from next week, millions more later this year. after months of home—working, companies across england can insist that staff go back to the office, but there are worries the government's sending out mixed messages. i'm a bit concerned, actually, because they're saying i can't meet up with family, they cannot come into my house, but i can still go to work with people i don't even know.

the eat out to help out scheme launches. more than 72,000 businesses have signed up to offer half—price meals paid by the government. but how does it work and who will pay? i'm in watford to find out. a major incident is declared in greater manchester as officals ramp up their response to a rising number of covid—19 cases. the most dramatic ending to a formula one race the world champion can remember. lewis hamilton crosses the line at silverstone on three wheels, to win the british grand prix for the seventh time. splashdown. a safe landing for the first astronauts to splashdown in us waters in 45 years. it's monday the 3rd of august. our top story. millions of new tests for coronavirus that can give

a result in 90 minutes will be rolled out from next week. in the past hour, a government minister has described the tests as "game—changing". most test results are currently returned within 24 hours — but a quarter can take up to two days. almost 500,000 tests will be available from next week across adult care settings. hospitals are expected to receive them from september. millions more of the tests are set to be rolled out later in the year. meanwhile, 5,000 dna machines, which analyse nose swabs, will provide nearly 6 million tests in the coming months. earlier on breakfast, the business secretary — nadim zahawi — told us how significant the new tests could be. well, at the moment, we continue to deliver 50,000 tests a day into care homes and care home settings, as you put it — 50,000 tests a day. this will make a further difference because being able to administer these tests without any clinical training is another game changer.

our political correspondent nick eardley is in westminster. nick, the government has been repeatedly challenged over its testing capacity. it has been one of the main issues over lockdown. is this going to provide the solution? nadim isa nadim is a hobby seem confident in that interview. he used the phrase, game changer, in the impact this could have —— nadim zahwai. it takes quite a while to get a test result back with the current tests, if you need a second test it can take even longer. we often hear that mass testing and quick testing could be a potential answer to numerous problems like checking a people can go to work on a given day, checking if people can come into the country from abroad from areas where you need to quarantine from just now, so

potentially, this could be a big, big deal, and the government at the moment seems to think it is certainly set to be, although we have heard similar noises before, and it is always important with these tests to remember, you need to see what actually happens. and the government tightened restrictions for millions of people on friday — and now they want us back at work, and eating out? confusing for some people. confusing for some peoplem confusing for some people. it is a bit. and when the eat out to help out campaign was announced last month the government thought it was on top of the virus, that cases were going down, that it was the right time to try to get everybody spending money again, to get high streets and other streets moving again, and they still want us to do that, and the argument the government will make is that it is safe, that restaurants have used so—called covid secure guidelines to make sure everyone has some

protection when they are out, but things have changed in the last couple of weeks, we've had a considerably more cautious quote —— approach, with millions of people in the north—west of england facing extra restrictions for the next few weeks and the government warning, on friday, that there could be more restrictions brought in across the country, so yes, it is in some ways a bit ofa country, so yes, it is in some ways a bit of a mixed message, we are being encouraged to go out and spend a bit more money but at the same time there was concern in government about the way that the virus is spreading. authorities in greater manchester have declared a major incident, as cases of coronavirus continue to rise. the announcement comes just days after the government announced tougher restrictions in the north—west of england. our reporter dave guest is in manchester this morning. what do these measures mean in practice? a major incident is

declared when an area faces major flooding or moorland fires, but on this occasion authorities are not trying to stem a flood or fight a fire they are trying to get on top of spikes in covid cases. the figures that have been causing the authorities concerned are the number people per 100,000 in the population who have tested positive for covid—19. the figures for greater manchester vary widely, in wigan, from 4.61 week to eight last week, and in oldham, from more than 41, up to 62 in the same period. because of this and because of nine of the ten local authorities in greater manchester last week they had increases in numbers of cases, that is why the government decided on thursday to introduce these extra measures and restrictions, so those in greater manchester can no longer go to visit family and friends in homes or gardens, we can eat out to help out if we do it with members of

our own households, cannot mix with others in pubs or restaurants. the local authority says there is nothing to be alarmed about and having a major incident declared. it is about coordinating efforts and drawing in more resources to try to get on top of this issue, before it gets out of hand. dave, thank you very much. the local lockdown in leicester is being relaxed today — allowing businesses including pubs and restaurants to reopen. some restrictions will remain, though. our reporter geeta pendse is in leicesterfor us this morning. talk us through what measures will remain in place and how life will change in leicester. good morning. it isa change in leicester. good morning. it is a big day. restaurants, bars, hairdressers, will be able to reopen for the first time since the end of march. places like cinemas, museums and places of worship will be able to reopen provided they stick to the guidelines, but there are still some

restrictions are leisure centres, indoor swimming pools and gyms will not be able to reopen just yet. and different households are not allowed to meet indoors, or in gardens. there is a general sense of wider easing and that is because the infection rate here has fallen, five weeks ago when leicester was placed into localised lockdown the rate of infection was 135 per 100,000 people and that rate has fallen to 55. this morning as leicester wakes up, i have been speaking to some pub and cafe owners who say that they are genuinely excited, a bit apprehensive, but they cannot wait to see their customers again after so long. an exciting day for leicester. many thanks. australia's second largest city, melbourne, has gone into a strict six—week lockdown as coronavirus cases continue to rise in the state of victoria. residents of the city have been ordered to stay indoors at night, and they'll only be allowed to shop and exercise

within three miles of their homes. the measures come after 13 deaths were reported in victoria yesterday. it's emerged that a woman who 5 alleged to have been raped by a conservative mp complained about his behaviour to the party's chief whip four months ago. the conservative mp and former minister — who hasn't been named — was arrested on saturday and then bailed by police investigating allegations of sexual offences and assault. it's now understood the chief whip, mark spencer, spoke with the complainant four months ago, but insists she didn't make an allegation of serious sexual assault. a spokesman for mr spencer has said he takes all allegations of harassment and abuse extremely seriously. the technology giant microsoft says it has spoken to president trump about buying the video—sharing app, tiktok. mr trump has threatened to ban the chinese—owned app, which has denied accusations that it shares its users' data with the authorities in beijing. microsoft has expressed an interest in buying tiktok‘s north america operation.

it's coming up to ten past eight. more of us will be going back to work today as bosses in england now have the discretion to decide if their staff should return to the office. the new rule came into force on saturday but the start of the working week should give us a better idea of how many people will be back at their desk. breakfast‘s jayne mccubbin has been out in manchester to see what difference it might make. manchester is welcoming workers back, just as the covid—19 spike sends a different message. it's a case of i have to. i have no choice really. after four months in lockdown with a health condition, jane hasjust gone back to work as a cleaner. i'm a bit concerned, actually, because they're saying i can't meet up with family, they can't come to my house, but i can still go to work with people i don't even know, i can still go in a pub. do you feel safe still going to work? not really, no.

are you going to stay working then? it's a case of i have to. i've got to work. this is the head office of brentwood, one of the biggest letting agents in the country. they look after 40,000 office desks. only 20% of them are today in use. i'm quite surprised it's been 20%. we thought people would come back quicker and sooner than they had done. are you worried? as long as we continue to reiterate the message that we have covid—secure spaces, which we have been doing, we're really hopeful that people will continue to gradually return to the workplace. we want people to feel safe and secure. i mean, i'vejust spoken to the health and safety executive who have a head office not farfrom here in the north—west, and they say they don't expect any change from monday. they are still operating on a skeleton staff and that they will continue to do so. what message does that send out? well, we think probably the wrong one. because what we need

to do is get people back into the cities and towns. we head out for lunch in the covid—secure lift. this takes some getting used to. and see the impact the virus has had on trade in the city. have you thought about when it might be back to, not new normal, but normal normal? normal normal? oh, i don't know. i think it might be next summer. which is quite sad, isn't it? gareth and emily, sick of working from home, have turned this into their makeshift office. so i'vejust missed being around other humans. you missed people. yeah. your boss isn't knocking on the door saying, "we need you back?" no, not yet. but some are. employment law specialistjill is already handling grievances from employers who want their staff back. if it comes to the stage where they've said we've made every adjustment we can and we've explored everything and you still don't think it's safe and, actually, we agree that there are risks, we can't continue to employ you because actually we don't see an end point

in sight for when you would be able to return. do you think it's going to get quite messy out there with these kinds of cases? it already is messy and i think, at the moment, people are thinking let's not make any immediate decisions about it, but i think come the autumn when the recession is really biting, when we get the furlough scheme coming to an end, employers are going to have to make really difficult decisions. buses are near empty. many premises still shut. in fact, footfall around here was down 75% in the week before the new restrictions were announced. it's like the spinning cycle. we don't know when it's going to stop. for sayed's business, reliant on office suits and pub and restaurant linen, that is devastating. 90% business gone. wow. i think by the end of next year we would be in a better position. the end of next year?!

because so many businesses are reopening, but we don't know how many of them are going to survive. nico is paying rent on two cafes which haven't yet been able to reopen. he was given just one month's grace back in april and tells me he spends days hammering the phones to the local offices. trying to figure out when are you coming back to the office or how many people are coming back to the office? they are saying they might well come back in december. might. in december. how worried are you? pretty worried. if i stay still i think and i worry, i would like to keep going. i'm young and i've got energy. and i keep moving. this is the only way forward. for some people, today might be the first new normal day back at work.

but for many businesses, like nico's, it's just not enough. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. today is also the start of another initiative designed to get us out and spending. the chancellor's eat out to help out scheme — which is valid from mondays to wednesdays throughout august — means the government will pay half of your restaurant bill up to a value of £10. so how will that work in practice? if charlie orders a £10 burger and a soft drink for £2, he'll pay a total of £6. the chancellor will pay the other half. to the restaurant. but nina has more expensive taste — so if she orders a steak which costs £18, and a large glass of wine for £7 she'll get £9 off her steak but nothing off the wine — because alcoholic drinks are not included.

so her bill will go from £25 to £16. if you are getting a large glass, you might as well get the bottle at that price! ben's at a restaurant in watford this morning which has opened its doors early for cut—price breakfasts. you are not quite on bottle of wine hours, are you, ben? speak for yourself! good morning, we are pretty busy down here in watford. all of these diners able to make the most of that offer from the chancellor to fit the bill for half of their breakfast, lunch or dinner, according to the rules that you talked about, only applying on mondays, tuesdays and wednesdays, but the idea to get people back out, to convince them it is safe to do so and to get people spending again because we know the hospitality industry is one of the most badly affected by the lockdown, also suffering from having to socially

distance, to take out tables to make sure there is more space between them and we are all a bit more nervous about the money in our pockets and may be more reluctant to go out. i'm joined pockets and may be more reluctant to go out. i'mjoined by pockets and may be more reluctant to go out. i'm joined by the chief executive here. pretty busy this morning. an early day, restarts today, the scheme will be a big bonus for you in terms of getting people through the door. absolutely. it isa people through the door. absolutely. it is a great initiative, targeted monday to wednesday, the slightly quieter days of the week, providing some much—needed financial support for the hospitality industry which was hit really hard, and it gives an opportunity to do demonstrate that we are safe, we are following all of the government guidelines and we are providing our usual hospitality, in a fantastic environment and it is not like walking into an operating theatre. when you talk about surviving lockdown, you had your

staff on further, they are now back, but the hospitality industry was one of the most badly affected. do you think people will look at this and think people will look at this and think you know what, i will go out and spend a bit more? we have faced openings over the last four weeks at 165 sites, because we didn't know what it was going to be like. customers are coming back. there are some who are a bit nervous. this scheme will be great to entice perhaps that small minority who are still a bit worried. it gives us a great opportunity to demonstrate that the hospitality industry has taken government guidance really seriously. when you see the headlines we have seen in recent days of local lockdown and areas where infection rates are rising, with some pubs having to close, perhaps that suggestion that when schools reopen in september something has got to give and pubs and wrestlers will have to shut again in september, what does that

mean to you? it is a real concern, when i read those stories over the weekend. the sector was hit badly over lockdown, and we employ over 3 million people in the uk hospitality industry and we are a big employer so industry and we are a big employer so let's hope the localised lockdown approach works, and as i said, demonstrating that these are safe environments for people to eat out and drink out in, will be really positive. good luck with it all. nice to see you, thanks very much. the boss talking through some of the implications of this scheme. the idea is to get people back in here and spending again. so, if we feel confident and safe to go out and spend, then that will help the wider economy. as you said about the wine, pretty good, because with the hours that we work, everybody else's brea kfast that we work, everybody else's breakfast time is our dinner time, so my glass of wine is waiting! seems reasonable, thanks, ben.

let's get a view from another restaurateur. nisha katona is the founder and owner of mowgli street food, which has 11 outlets in england and wales. good morning, are you taking part in this scheme? yes, we are, we signed up this scheme? yes, we are, we signed up as soon as we knew it was available. it was reassuring that the government came up with something to re—inspire consumer confidence because that has been hit more than anything during this pandemic. we were anxious about what would happen when we opened again. historically one of the worst times for the hospitality industry, august is always one of the quietest times, so it comes at exactly the right time on exactly the right date, the right hours, so there is not a question in my mind about signing up. lots of your restaurants are based in places where there have been local or partial look merseyside and greater manchester for example. how has it been for you

since they reopened then had to move with these new changes again? do you know, the philosophical part of me thinks there is no sort of blame game here. it is what it is. this pandemic is dreadful. if that is what is required, that is what is required. what is important for me is retaining the 500 jobs we have within mowgli street food. we have a restau ra nt within mowgli street food. we have a restaurant in leicester that will not open until the tenth because it ta kes not open until the tenth because it takes that long to get the supply chain back up and running, cardiff only opens today, manchester university, we've get that close because there are no students, but we have kept those people employed and that is the tricky part, it is not tricky because we want to do it but it comes at a cost. we are now turning over about 60% because of social distancing. you have the burden of carrying a body of staff that are not really working, so

every little really helps. this is an incredible industry employing those 16—24 erodes the government are concerned about. it is important that we retain those jobs and retain the joy of the high street. if you don't use it, you will lose it, so anything that encourages people to come out and know that we are covid secure, we are consummate professionals at keeping people safe in small spaces, that is what we do, we sanitise ourselves, it is safer to come out to a restaurant than to have people gathering at home, and it is just driving that message home. the idea is that this is a quiet time for restaurants but that will be the period over which the furlough scheme begins to taper. how confident are you, long term, of getting over the hump and getting back to full health in september?m september it is a tricky one, because what i think and what many of my fellow restaurant first thing is that there will be other regional

lockdown so there will be a number of bumps on the road until there is a vaccine, and we as businesses just need to know, the budget for these dips in income and keep our heads down and get on with it. september, i think there will still be local closures for whatever reason. what is important is that restaurants do not close, that they are being proclaimed as places that are safe, because this is where you are socially distance, kept in your seat ina way socially distance, kept in your seat in a way that you cannot really marshal that at home. i know, because if you are entertaining at home and thinking about cutlery and crockery, leave it to us, come out and eat with your loved ones, in the manchester area, people are still booking in their family units into, it isa booking in their family units into, it is a safe place to be and we are glad that the government is pushing that message home, alongside the fa ct that message home, alongside the fact that there are regional closures, these things will happen. that may encourage somebody to go out for dinner tonight. the best of

luck over the coming days with this new scheme. thank you. now onto one of the other major stories this morning. it's been described by the health minister matt hancock as a "life saver" — and by his cabinet colleague nadhim zahawi as a "game changer". as of next week, care homes will have access to new coronavirus tests which take just 90 minutes to give a result. hospitals will be next in line to receive them. millions are due to be rolled out in the coming months. professor andrew beggs helped to produce the tests. hejoins us now from birmingham. good morning to you, professor of. can you give us a users' guide to what these things look like, and what these things look like, and what is the procedure? good morning. i have got one here, it is a sequencing device, and you can either use a swab, or it works on a saliva sample, and you mix either these accurate do all the saliva

sample with chemicals that prepare the reaction into the machine, taking about 50—60 minutes, then it ru ns taking about 50—60 minutes, then it runs on the machine for 20—30 minutes gives you an answer via a spreadsheet or pdf file, so the advantages it is very quick and you can do lots of samples with it. professor, the item you held up a moment ago, can you hold it up a bit longerfor us was moment ago, can you hold it up a bit longer for us was matter is that the outer covering? it is a sequencing device, inside as the chip that you run the sample is passed, and it can hold on 1500 patient samples in one go and will run in 90 minutes, using bar codes to identify each patient sample so you can fit more than one sample so you can fit more than one sample onto each device. does it work? what about its efficiency in terms of testing correctly? my lab was one of those chosen to pilot the system. we are next door to the

queen elizabeth hospital in birmingham, and we are already running on patient samples, and it has been 100% accurate compared to the nhs test at the moment, and in some ways better because instead of having one target, we can test four separate targets used to detect in a vase, allowing us to reduce the false negative and false positive rates. presumably, professor, however good the technology is, and as you have this right, it is very goodin as you have this right, it is very good in this situation, it could be undone by somebody not using it properly. who is able to conduct these tests? the strategy going forward is to have a pop up mobile lab using this technology. it is important, the lab will go to the outbreak, a place of work, factory or hospital and be run by people who had a training programme to ensure quality. we know that we can train a competent person to do it in about half a day and then they run the test themselves. this swab itself

you say that say a care home for example, we know that there is huge demand, there are, a mobile lab with the machinery would go there, and individuals would do the swab for themselves? you are straightaway thinking, there is a flaw in the system if that is not done correctly. interestingly, ourselves and others have done research into whether self swapping or nurse led swapping is more effective and we found that nurse led swapping is not a lwa ys found that nurse led swapping is not always as good as self swabbing although probably equivalent so either the nurse can do it for the patient or the patient would do it themselves. you are not a politician, but people are immediately asking, especially given how effective and quick this system is, we are told that it is being rolled out from next week. what is your understanding of where and how this will be put in place and

practice? it will be nursing homes, hospitals, we put together a body of work to do airport testing which was a recent discussion point as well. it is flexible to go to these places and should be happening by the end of the month at the latest. professor, thank you for your time and your illustration perfectly held up and your illustration perfectly held upfor us, and your illustration perfectly held up for us, professor andrew beggs, from the university of birmingham, who has been developing that new 90 minute testing kit. great to actually see it. you are watching bbc breakfast, still to come... the circus season is back on but how do clowns and acrobats ply their trade while still obeying social distancing rules? we'll find out how performers are adapting their acts to stay covid—secure. we ll also bring you the latest news and weather, but the time now is 8.28. now let's get the weather with matt. 21 degrees this afternoon?m

21 degrees this afternoon? it is. good morning. that is the suspected high today. down on the world we should be for the stage in august, the high should be around 23—24 as an average but a heads up, there is an average but a heads up, there is a big temperature turnaround this week. last week we finished with the third warmest day on record. we will not be miles behind that by friday for some parts of england. we could see temperatures soaring to around 35 celsius. quite a change from what we have out there this morning. it isa we have out there this morning. it is a bit ofa we have out there this morning. it is a bit of a fresh start but a pleasa nt is a bit of a fresh start but a pleasant one today with some sunshine around for many with some showers dotted around here and there with more developing through the day, probably fewer than be soldiering yesterday but when their showers come through, it will feel the cooler side. —— than we saw yesterday. some wet weather coming to northern ireland and scotland through tuesday and wednesday. some showers dotted round there at the moment, some around liverpool bay

and the north—west midlands, clearing to the east coast, we will see some showers breaking out into the afternoon, scotland the most favoured but also northern and eastern parts of england and east midlands especially. showers could be on the heavy side with the odd rumble of thunder not be ruled out, and temperatures up to 22 celsius this afternoon. most of us will be dry, and many will be dry through tonight with showers fading in england and wales, light winds, cooler conditions, rain in northern ireland spreading into western scotla nd ireland spreading into western scotland as we start tomorrow. temperatures are keeping up as the breeze perked up. quite a windy day on tuesday, the winds, governed by how high the low and high pressure altogether. pretty unusual to have these wings in this part of august, relentless rain around the western isles, and the south highlands, and turning wet in northern ireland through the day. enough cloud hugging the coast in western england and wales, but driest and brightest

in central and eastern parts of england, brother wind will be lightest and the temperatures at their highest, climbing a few degrees, sticking in the teens where we have that cloud and rain to the north and west. into tuesday night, the rain comes and goes through northern ireland and western scotland, drierfor northern ireland and western scotland, drier for england and wales but for wednesday, wet weather sweeping through wales into england, much of daylight hours across east anglia and the south—east staying dry with hazy sunshine, and temperatures climbing, 27 degrees. starting to climb elsewhere, through to thursday and friday. with it, the rain easing, dry and sunny weather dominates and then confirmation of building warmth on friday with temperatures widely in the 305 in eastern england. have a good day. hello, this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and nina warhurst. a major incident has been

declared in greater manchester just days after stricter measures were introduced to curb the rise of coronavirus cases there. mayor andy burnham has also called on the government to re—instate shielding in the area from today — saying not doing so would be "inhumane". peter fahy has experience of major incident planning from his years as the chief constable of greater manchester police. he has since retired and joins us now from staffordshire. good morning, peter, good to see you. just explain because the council have said don't be alarmed a major incident has been declared but it seems alarming language, what does it mean for residents? they can be reassured the agencies are working together around the clock. normally a major incident is declared when there is a terrorist attack, extreme weather, flooding. it means all the key people are working together in the same room, sharing information, sharing

resources , sharing information, sharing resources, so they are making sure all the focus of all the agencies are directed against this particular issue. but it does show how serious agencies in greater manchester viewing the situation. i think they are concerned the rates are continuing to increase, particularly in boroughs like oldham. on other hand, they will take hope from the fa ct hand, they will take hope from the fact rochdale took concerted action in the rate is going down there. do you think it was the right decision for blanket measures across the ten boroughs? i think it was. for blanket measures across the ten boroughs? ithink it was. greater manchester as a whole, it has the m60 going round it, it has a tram network, it's very difficult to hive off particular boroughs. agencies worked very closely and you have the mayor of greater manchester, when police pulled, one fire service. it's better if it is one whole organisation working together, getting all the information out there to the public. it is fair to say even in the strict times of the

lockdown, greater manchester had a problem with gatherings, gatherings and peoples houses and street parties. it is that sort of issue that will cause concern but if the police and local authorities are working together to make sure restau ra nts a nd working together to make sure restaurants and pubs keep to the rules as well, that will hopefully bring down the virus and get across to the public this is a serious situation and they need to get the rates down so there is no risk of a stricter lockdown being brought in. i want to ask you about enforcement because you will know better than anyone the role the police can and will play in this. lots of people will play in this. lots of people will get across to a restaurant people outside my bubble to a restau ra nt people outside my bubble to a restaurant but who will enforce it ifigo restaurant but who will enforce it if i go into somebody plasma house, for example? how do they make sure people are sticking to these regulations? that bit is really difficult. undoubtably, the police and local authorities will get a lot of complaints from residents about neighbours. but the police powers in those situations are limited. the bigger concern for the police will be public gatherings. as we had in

your forecast, whether it is —— the weather is going to improve this week. they have already been problems with gatherings in certain places, street parties, those sort of things but where it is about things going on in somebody plasma house, that is a challenge for the police. they rely on education, unreasoning, in getting people to move out of houses and move on and be sensible. but this is all about a high degree of public cooperation. i think the fact this is now declared asa think the fact this is now declared as a major incident, all the agencies will be working together to get concerted information campaign and that will make the job of the police that much easier but it will bea police that much easier but it will be a challenge. do you think it would help with the message to the public of people who were shielding previously were encouraged to shield once again? andy burnham has called for that to happen from today, do you think it would have —— have an impact? my view is people in those situations, people with existing

health conditions in particular are already very risk adverse and worried about the situation. in greater manchester, you have a very high level of infection compared to other areas, particularly in young people. they will be concerned if they go out and mix with young people. i personally think a lot of people. i personally think a lot of people are shielding or will be very wary, particular in greater manchester, and will take things very carefully. clearly, i think a message from the government about people taking those concerns, people understanding the message, making sure that is getting across would obviously help to make sure this increase in infection rates doesn't increase in infection rates doesn't increase to an increase in hospital admissions or deaths. wright said peter fahy, thank you. the time is 8.36. two us astronauts splashed down to earth last night — marking a new era for the american space agency and private space travel.

nine weeks ago, the astronauts set off to the international space station on a rocket provided by the commercial firm, spacex. the company — owned by the technology billionaire elon musk — will now start charging nasa for a so—called "astronaut taxi service". let's take a look at the landing. splashdown! this has been quite an odyssey, the last five, six, seven, eight years. five years since bob and i started working on this programme and to be where we are now, the first crewed flight of dragon, is just unbelievable. there's something special about having that capability to launch and bring your own astronauts home and we went through a lot of years without that capability and i think we're both super, super proud to have beenjust a small part of a team that accomplished bringing those space flights back to the florida coast and bringing that capability back to america.

let's speak to libby jackson who is the human exploration program manager at the uk space agency. shejoins us from she joins us from swindon. shejoins us from swindon. good morning. can you give us a sense of how important that moment is, the first commercial voyage safely returning? the whole mission has been a significant and important one, the dawn of a new era in space travel but last night was the big moment because it got the crew back safely. this is a test flight, the first time we had humans on top of the rocket in the space capsule and whilst the mission had gone smoothly, we saw a great launch, they had been a huge contribution to they had been a huge contribution to the space crew. until they are back safely, it's not a complete and successful test flight so it was really great to see them splashed down safely on the opportunities that this opens up now, commercial travel, for enabling space agencies like nasa and the european space

agency, which the uk is a part of cover to start to focus our efforts on getting missions back to the moon and mars one day. it's really, really exciting, definitely a new chapter. we're just those images. really exciting, definitely a new chapter. we'rejust those images. i was really mindful watching it, the capsule is small, isn't it? that tiny capsule with those two pilots on board, as i understand it, as it was coming down to earth, it is going at seven kilometres a second, is that right? so the heat that it has to endure on the outside and then the splashdown itself, its quite extraordinary what process it goes through to land in the ocean. it is quite a bumpy ride. you have to go from 17 point 5000 miles an hour, 400 kilometres up, where they are orbiting the earth, back down to that gentle splashdown. the process from when they fired their rocket engines to slow themselves down and plunge into the atmosphere took

about an hour. it is a gentler ride down than the solid thump of landing on earth, which is what astronauts including tim peake had been doing in the russian spacecraft. but it is still a wild ride through. but the weather looked perfect. it would have been a very gentle splashdown. there wasn't too much bumping around on the water. i know the crew, bob and doug, they had sick bagsjust in case there was any swell and they fell a bit sick afterwards but it looked like it was a pretty soft landing, that the challenges came afterwards. what i love about it is with these new private endeavours, parts of the capsule at least will be reused, the idea is they can be reused in future missions? that will help bring down the cost. one of the lovely things about this is both bob and doug are married to other

astronauts and bob's wife will be flying in that very same capsule in the spring of next year, along with the spring of next year, along with the french european agency astronaut. we are looking forward to seeing those european space agency astronaut flying on dragon and the boeing spacecraft, also developed by nasa in a similar way. we hope one day we will see tim peake return to space in one of them as well. one of the things that occurred to me watching them come back is these two astronauts, they took off during the pandemic, didn't they? in a way, they were going to space not really knowing what the world they would come back to was going to look like. it must have been quite odd psychologically, being up there, looking down at the earth and thinking, what is it like down there? i think this is something that they are all trained for. you never know when you head into space and these days, astronauts go for two, three, six months. you never know what the future is going to

hold. when it comes to the protections and what we looked after for making sure we didn't get coronavirus into space, that is something that is always considered in space. we never want the crew to get sick in space. they way to go into quarantine but we took extra precautions to make absolutely sure coronavirus didn't get up there either. but they had their work cut out and kept very busy. they work monday to fridays and bob, with support, took part in four space walks while they were up there, to replace some of the batteries that are needed for the space station. all the energy from the sun and keep it powered. so i am sure they reflected on what was going on but they absolutely had lots to do to keep the space station running and all the science that happens on the international space station they made sure carried on. good to speak to this morning. libbyjackson from

the uk space agency. a good reminder, you forget they have a working week, they still have the monday to friday on the weekend. let's check in with jane, how are you? hello, good morning. we are going to start with the british grand prix yesterday. it had such a dramatic ending. lewis hamilton has won 87 formula one races, but none of them in quite as dramatic a fashion as yesterday's. it looked as though the world champion was going to cruise to his seventh victory at silverstone until he got a puncture on the final lap. he had to battle to control his mercedes and finished on three wheels, just five seconds ahead of red bull's max verstappen. hamilton has now won more home races than any other driver and leads the championship by 30 points. oh, my god. i was just praying to try to get around and not be too slow. i nearly didn't get around the last two corners but thank god, we did and, you know,

i really owe it to the team. i think ultimately we — maybe we should have stopped! chuckles. celtic‘s quest for ten scottish league titles in a row got off to a great start. 0dsonne edouard scored a hat—trick, as they hammered hamilton 5—1, to go straight into their familiar spot at the top of the table. afairy a fairy tale story to bring you now. harrogate town are now an english football league side for the first time in their history. they were promoted to league two yesterday after a 3—1 win over notts county in the national league play—off at wembley. we can speak now to harrogate's very proud manager, simon weaver. and with the trophy as well. many congratulations. i'm sure you won't mind me saying you look like a man who has been partying hard. how were the celebrations and have you been to bed yet? yes, i have been to bed, a few hours ago. these celebrations

lived up to expectations. they went long into the night. i think it was justifiable, going up. it was such a great day from start to finish, looking out the window, blue sky, like today. such an air of positivity in the camp that we thought we could do it and we did it and it was a proud moment. obviously it isa and it was a proud moment. obviously it is a dream come true for you and the players. can you try and describe just how you felt as that final whistle went at wembley? well... it's hard work, thisjob! hard earned to get the team to national league and... inaudible oh! it's ok, i think we're going to try again, simon, youjust oh! it's ok, i think we're going to try again, simon, you just cut out. we are going to ask you again, there we re we are going to ask you again, there were no fans at wembley u nfortu nately were no fans at wembley unfortunately because of the pandemic. did that change the atmosphere for you your players?

hmm,i atmosphere for you your players? hmm, isuppose atmosphere for you your players? hmm, i suppose so, yeah. atmosphere for you your players? hmm, isuppose so, yeah. they atmosphere for you your players? hmm, i suppose so, yeah. they have been our 12th man, we missed them and we miss them sharing our moment in the sun at wembley but we were driven to succeed for them back home. apparently there were emotional scenes at our ground and my boy and girl were in hillsborough, sheffield, with my in—laws, enjoying it on the television. but it would have been, obviously, incredible if they had been with us. have you had any contact from any of the fans? quite a lot of them have been saying on social media how proud they are with you and the team. i have just had a lot of messages. my phone... they have been heartfelt messages for me and to the club. so grateful of that support because it does mean so much to the people of harrogate, that they have reached the football league. so much pride in the town right now. feel very privileged to

be manager of harrogate town. your father bought the club in 2011. you turned professional for the 2017—18 season and since then it's just been an upwards trajectory. what do you feel has been the reason for that, behind your two promotions in three yea rs ? behind your two promotions in three years? i think it's a combination of...a years? i think it's a combination of... a combination of good people behind—the—scenes and young aspirational footballers, behind—the—scenes and young aspirationalfootballers, who behind—the—scenes and young aspirational footballers, who are all driven into good culture of the clu b all driven into good culture of the club where it is pretty old school values. we all want the same thing and there are no egos allowed in the building. we don't stand for that. asi building. we don't stand for that. as i say, a bit a throwback at times, the culture, because everyone is honest, everyone is punctual and no egos and i think that is at the heart of it. very briefly, league 2 sta rts heart of it. very briefly, league 2 starts in a few weeks' time, are you going to give the players any time

of? we are, actually. the next fortnight, people can have a bit of closure from this season because it has dragged on a lot. and we had a preseason schedule of training, really ha rd preseason schedule of training, really hard and intense training to get them fit for the play—offs so they are warranted a bit of family time and we trust them. we trust them throughout the months of lockdown to keep themselves in top nick and they have done just that and proved it, so that warranted this time now and closure to the season and then we will be out the blocks passed next season. ok, simon, enjoyer and many congratulations again. that is your sport, back to you. thank you very much. 8.48. we are talking about businesses and how they get back to work at the moment. that works in all sorts of different environments. we will concentrate on the moment on the circus. not the easiest thing to do with self—isolation. now, some big tops are getting ready to re—open — but how do you socially distance a troupe of tumblers

or a car—full of clowns? fiona lamdin is in portsmouth to find out. good morning. so for months, this big top has been in storage, the nine months the artists behind me have been completely out of work but tomorrow, this circus reopens. but for many up and down the country, it is not that easy and it has been a real struggle. this is barely methodical troupe, one of london's acrobatic circuses, in full flow. bodies balanced and intertwined. now impossible in these new times where they can't touch. all their shows have been cancelled and this rooftop, in the open air, has reluctantly become their new rehearsal space. to me, it definitely doesn't work. pretty much everything we do, for example, when someone does a handstand on my head, can't do that because that's touching. there are loads of other tricks that require three, four people to be able to execute

and obviously with the two metre thing, you can't do that at all. di has worked in the circus for three decades. i like circus. i love bringing joy to people. it's what i do — it's myjob! but in the last few months they've lost thousands. this virus has wiped everything out. but i think for our art form, it's particularly difficult. the government guidance as it stands at the moment is all for theatre. and it says, you know, if you have to break the social distance of a metre then you have to do so very quickly. laughter. but in our shows we're always touching, catching, holding, or there to protect somebody in case they fall. and across the country, in gloucestershire, gifford circus also faces similar hurdles. but the difference is their acrobatic acts are married, so they're in the same bubble. i'm a dancer and he's in acrobat. unfortunately, he is not a good dancer so i need to teach him a dance.

lockdown means, for the first time in 17 years, they'll now have to perform together. are you confident you will be able to pull it off? um, i'm sure, yes. laughter. yeah, it's going to be good. i have a good teacher! so, these are costumes that have been ready to go since march and then lockdown happened so they have alljust been sitting in bags. we had done two days of rehearsal, everyone had turned up, we had all met, we had all realised how much we were going to love doing it and doing the show, the costumes were nearly done and then we suddenly had to make the really difficult call to put it on hold. less than 50% of touring shows an are now reopening. giffords is in that camp, but there'll be many changes. instead of 600 in the big top there'll be 100. so you have to have the sides of the tent up. there's going to be a 1—way system in the tent. we have to increase ventilation with a fan. the front row will have to be two metres away from the ring box.

back in london, things don't look so hopeful. the artists have families and flatmates, so can't form a bubble. di can't see how they'll survive. these are really troubling times for us. we don't know how to train or rehearse. it's possible that the company just won't continue. giffords hopes to reopen in two weeks' time, but their shows will be distanced and different. there are many procedures now in place. as you can see, they are using anti—bacteria during shows, they have had to take out half the seating and you are not allowed to sit next to the person if they are not from your own bubble. now, face marks are not compulsory because eve ryo ne marks are not compulsory because everyone will be facing this way, watching the show, so we are just coming over to paul. you are in charge, you represent all circuses up charge, you represent all circuses up and down the country. just tell us, how bad is it for people right

now? well, it's been a really tough time and we've had an opportunity to open some of the circuses, like you see here, but some are still not able to reopen because it is not viable to open with social distancing in place. it is a risky time for everybody but we are all very grateful to be up and running, as you see here. tell me how hard it has been for the artists. many behind us have been using food banks? yes, absolutely, because we have fallen through lots of cracks the government have provided, from the government have provided, from the artists, directors and staff, many of the schemes in place were not suitable for circus performers who had come on a visa to this country to perform their skills. ok, thank you. and now tracy, you are the first ring mistress they have ever had here in 35 years. tell me how that has come about because of covid? it is very exciting, the

legendary norman barrett has been doing it for 35 years but he is at home, he is 84 and he is shielding. lam home, he is 84 and he is shielding. iamjust home, he is 84 and he is shielding. i am just holding the fort for him until he comes back. what will that mean for you? you will have to enforce the social distancing rules for the audience and make sure eve ryo ne for the audience and make sure everyone stays away from the clowns? i will be protecting the artists, making sure they don't go too near the audience, protecting the audience and doing announcements. so it is an enjoyable time for everybody. ok, the show opens here tomorrow. as you can see, it looks amazing that they will be very different things the audience has to do to make sure everyone is safe. studio: thank you, fiona foster amazing pictures behind you. it was making me feel a little queasy! they know what they are doing. 8.54. we've had some lovely stories on breakfast recently about young children going the extra mile to raise money for charity — well, here's another one. two six—year—old boys from london have raised thousands of pounds by selling lemonade to help people in yemen, after they heard about the humanitarian crisis there.

let's speak now to ayaan, who is with his mum and dad adeela and shakil, and mikaeel, who is with his mum tasneem. a very good morning. can we have a wave? good morning! wright lovely. and good morning, mikaeel. good morning. working well so far. i will ask iran first, tell us about the idea, why did you come up with the idea? because over12 million people are suffering in yemen and i really wa nted are suffering in yemen and i really wanted to help them. tell us a bit about those people and what the problems are in yemen? what do they not have? they don't have water, they don't have showers. they don't have... food? food! all the basic stuff you need. mum and dad, you

must be very proud? immensely proud of ayaan and mikaeel. they came up with the idea, so we have just been supporting them but we are super proud of them. mikaeel, tell us, how did you decide who did what? we have pictures of you now drawing your beautiful signs, squash and your lemons and getting your cakes together, it looks like hard work! yeah. it was hard work? who did what? we did the dues and ayaan did the lemonjuice. you what? we did the dues and ayaan did the lemon juice. you did the lemonade together, didn't you? yes. were you surprised how many people came to buy your products? yes! yes! one person decided to pay for a

lemonade and a bit of cake, £50, incredibly generous? it was a very overwhelming, we didn't expect that kind of turnout. it was something we put together literally inside a few days. it was, yeah, absolutely overwhelming. the amount of people that came out and said i will have a cake, here is a lot of money towards this charity. we were just, when we sat down at the end of the day and counted all the money, it was insane, what we had managed to raise, what the kids managed to raise. as parents it is hard because you want to shield your kids from global catastrophes on one hand, the likes of which are unfolding in yemen but it is amazing to see them so sensitive and aware and wanting to do something about it? yes, definitely. it is hard. seeing the videos yourself, you find it very ha rd videos yourself, you find it very hard as an adult to do that. but it is good to have a bit of compassion, for the kids to learn compassion at

a young age as well. so something we hope to carry on with them. you better introduce us, someone else has just popped up. better introduce us, someone else hasjust popped up. this is mikaeel‘s younger sister, she helped make the poster and helped at the stand. iam make the poster and helped at the stand. i am looking behind you in your room at your lampshade and there is something, what is happening up there, something dangling from the lampshade, what is going on? so, about... how many yea rs going on? so, about... how many years ago? five years ago. we went to the zoo. we have three little monkeys, so that is one of them. that is him, then we have two more, they are our family mascots and we have them hanging around the house. do we have two more? thank you for inviting us in and well done to the two boys, great what you have done, raised lots of money. you must be

very proud. thank you very much. give us a big wave goodbye! best of luck with the rest of your fundraising. thank you. that is all from us on breakfast. you will be back with louise. our programme will be back at 6am tomorrow morning. see you then. see you then, have a good day, goodbye.
