hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... tear gas is fired at protesters in beirut during mass demonstrations after last week's catastophic

explosion in the city. security officials say the blast left a crater 43m deep. here in the uk, prime minister boris johnson says it's a moral duty and a national priority for schools to reopen fully in england next month. i'm very pleased that the prime minister is making schools a priority. i've been arguing for some time that my fear was that children were being left behind in this relaxation of lockdown. 400 taliban militants are to be released after a vote by afghanistan's loya jirga, or grand assembly, in kabul. japan remembers the victims of nagasaki, 75 years after the atom bomb was dropped on the city. in cricket, england stage a stunnng comeback to snatch victory in the first test.

before the papers, sport. and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's holly hamilton. what a game of cricket that was. england cricketers certainly don't make it easy for themselves or the funds. -- fans. the england cricket captainjoe root says they're making a habit of pulling off unlikely wins after what was a stunning victory in the first test against pakistan. all looked lost for england when they were reduced to 117—5, chasing 277. they needed a couple of big performances, and that's exactly what they got from jos buttler and chris woakes. they put on a brilliant performance to drag england towards what had looked like a highly unlikely win. there's more to come — the second test starts on thursday. we set out, at the start of the day, we said that it was going to have to take something quite special, might have to have quite a bit of luck at times,

but if we had clarity in how we wanted to play and individual game plans and committed to it, we would give ourselves the best chance. the way that they played that situation was fantastic. i thought it had everything. there was to be no big comeback from chelsea in the champions league. they were absolutely thumped by bayern munich in the last 16. it finished 7—1 on aggregate, after they lost last night's second leg 4—1 in munich. despite his disappointment, the chelsea boss frank lampard is focussing on the positives. it is a good exercise today, to look at a team like bayern munich, the champions league experience they have in their ranks, hundreds of appearances in their team, and we had young players, debut seasons. incredible individual performances.

and i can see where i want us to go. to san francisco next, where it promises to be a fascinating final day at the us pga championship. the former world number one dustin johnson has the lead on nine—under—par going into the final round, but there are plenty in the chasing pack for the first major title since the start of the pandemic. amongst them is britain's paul casey. he's a couple of shots off the leader. tommy fleetwood and justin rose also also still in the mix. sir ben ainslie says he's confident that his sailing team can end what will be a i70—year wait for british success in the america's cup. the 36th edition starts in new zealand next march and ainslie and his team have have been fine—tuning their new yacht in british waters for the final time this weekend. nick hope's been to meet him. three years ago, sir ben ainslie's brits battled in bermuda, but they were well beaten as the kiwis cruised to victory and then won the 2017 america's cup.

now, though, with a new boat and a new sponsor, they have renewed hope. i am really confident in the team, we've got a fantastic team. i love the america's cup because it's this marriage of technology and sport, and it is sailing's version of formula i, really, and the history that goes with it. you know, it started in 1851. britain's never won it. so, it's an incredible sporting story for us. we've got to right that wrong in our maritime history. this is the last chance to see the ac75 britannia on british waters, because, as of next week, it will be packed up and shipped off to the southern hemisphere ahead of next year's america's cup racing in march. now, although it is not doing it at the moment, when it does hit maximum speeds of around 50 knots or 60mph, you get a real sense of why there is so much excitement around modern—day america's cup racing. even a powerboat, that's pretty amazing speeds, but for a sailing boat, that's phenomenal, and speeds we haven't seen before. so, it is really exciting, it's pushing the boundaries of technology, and i think we're really confident. for one member of ineos team uk's

line—up, there is another challenge fast approaching. giles scott is ainslie's heir in the olympic fin class and won gold at rio 2016. but with the tokyo 2020 games delayed for 12 months, he is now having to try and balance two targets. we are due to go out to new zealand very, very shortly, and i am there for six months until march, and then roll straight into a three—month lead—up to the games, which isn't how you'd plan to do things, but the goals are still the same. i want to be able to nail them both. you've four 0lympic titles, you've won america's cup obviously with team 0racle usa. where would it lay to bring it to great britain? to win the cup, to bring it home, for all of us, it would be the biggest moment in our sporting careers, and i think it would be just a great thing for britain to get the america's cup back where it belongs. ainslie is already an iconic figure in british sailing. ending the nation's 170—year wait for a maiden america's cup victory would certainly see him secure legendary status in the sport.

nick hope, bbc news, in portsmouth. great to hear from great to hearfrom sir ben great to hear from sir ben ainslie there. that's all the sport for now. more from us here on the bbc news channel after the one o'clock news. now it is time for the papers. here's a quick look at what still to come on bbc one after this programme. coming up on sunday morning live, this week saw packed beaches but lots of empty workplaces — we will discuss if we have got our priorities right. also, we will be speaking to not one but two comedy legends, as lesley joseph and tamsin greig join us. and the kingdom choir, who performed at harry and meghan's wedding, tell us about the impact of lockdown on their art. join us at ten. 0h, go on.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are rosamund urwin, senior reporter at the sunday times, and james rampton, features writer at the independent. welcome to you both. thank you for being with us. let's go through the front pages. the mail on sunday leads on plans to return to the classroom, with the prime minister, borisjohnson, writing in the paper that it's a moral duty to reopen schools next month. and according to the sunday times, mrjohnson warns that keeping children at home is a far greater risk to their well—being than coronavirus. the prime minister is prepared to take unprecedented steps, including shutting pubs and restaurants, to ensure schools don't have to close again, according to the sunday express. a cross—party group of senior mps, trade unions and scientists are calling on the government to compensate travellers stuck in quarantine, says tomorrow's observer. the paper reports there are calls

for those forced to quarantine to be given statutory sick pay during their two—week isolation to encourage compliance. staying with coronavirus, the sunday mirror carries a warning from a former government scientific advisor that the uk could be back in lockdown next month. the migrant crisis leads the sunday telegraph with the paper reporting that france is demanding around £30 million from the uk to pay for extra patrols on beaches along northern france, in exchange for allowing the royal navy to patrol the channel and return migrants to dunkirk. let's start off with the mail, moral duty and national priority to reopen schools. by the time they reopen in september, it will be six months. absolutely. he has written for the

mail on sunday today talking about the damage it is giving to children and parents. part of this is the pa rent and parents. part of this is the parent issue, all of the people stuck at homejuggling parent issue, all of the people stuck at home juggling child parent issue, all of the people stuck at homejuggling child care and theirjobs, stuck at homejuggling child care and their jobs, extraordinarily difficult, so he will find a receptive audience among some of those parents, but lots of others very worried about children going back to school and may be potentially getting the virus, bring it home, perhaps they have grandparent carers, worried about that. there was a warning back in april, i looked it up, that children we re april, i looked it up, that children were becoming collateral damage in the pandemic and that has only got worse in the last few months, looking at the very extreme cases we re looking at the very extreme cases were children micro parents had not taken the children in hospitals, but what we are talking about here is a generation of covid—19 who have got the normal education —— extreme cases were pa rents the normal education —— extreme cases were parents had not taken children hospitals. gavin williamson

has not had a brilliant crisis and there is speculation around that if he does not succeed as education secretary, that is, succeed with reopening of schools, he may find himself out of a job come 0ctober time. you heard it here first. james, curious talk about potential trade off, if it comes to the crunch, where they would shut down the pubs and restaurants before they shut down the schools. in other words, the schools are the national priority, they would be the last to be shot. yes. first of all, i must say i think... —— the last to be shut. we have lost james at the moment. let me put the question to you, rosamund. this talk of a trade—off between pubs and restau ra nts a nd trade—off between pubs and restaurants and schools, does it make sense to you that you would shut the pubs first before the schools? the schools would be the

last thing is that government would wa nt to last thing is that government would want to shout. it is incredibly difficult to work out which is the best solution —— to shop. those are people's livelihoods. we know lots of pubs and restaurants are going out of business, it is incredibly difficult. my personal view would you prioritise children's education. they have missed four months. if you area they have missed four months. if you are a young kid, that is a lot of your life you have not been in school. i know people are very worried about mental health effects on children, they are very worried... video conferencing has worked in some schools, they have done very well, but you have put a load of children in front of the computer all day and those are the lucky ones getting their education. the gap between rich and poor, educational gap, will be exacerbated by this. the mail on sunday has interesting lines lower down, they are claiming there has never been a single case of a people infecting a teacher with the virus anywhere in the world. i don't know how they are

making that claim because of course we don't know how everyone has caught the virus who has got it. but they are saying they have established that fact. the other interesting bit which takes us away from schools, barely half of the aduu from schools, barely half of the adult population is committed to being immunised against covid—19. evenif being immunised against covid—19. even if we get the great solution we are all hoping for, it may not actually be that effective because of course you need a high level of immunisation of the population than 50%. in order to get the much talked about herd immunity. this would be actual herd immunity rather than us getting it, it would be from being vaccinated. quite a few worrying things in there. we have james back. sorry, cut off in your prime. i was asking you about the trade—off between shutting pubs or schools. absolutely. i think fellow liberals

may have cut me off because i was agreeing with boris johnson. may have cut me off because i was agreeing with borisjohnson. i do think he is right. we need to focus oi'i think he is right. we need to focus on schools. i know many youngsters some of whom are very close relatives of mine who have been driven to distraction by the lack of structure in their lives. without school, very difficult for parents. i think it is like parents trying to teach their children to drive, trying to teach children algebra, extremely hard. if it means sacrificing the pubs, as much as i love pubs, children have to be the priority. if we have to shut pubs and restaurants and anything else, johnson is right, schools should be the last things to close because there is such a damage to our whole generation of children. they will come out of this devastated if the schools continue to shut. james, to underline that, the sunday times front pages talking about the harm of missing school is worse for the schoolchildren than the risk of coronavirus. absolutely. as rosamund

touched on, huge ramifications. there has been a massive class divide. we know this country is driven by divisions between rich and poon driven by divisions between rich and poor, but the corona crisis has only exacerbated that. private schools have had a good war, in inverted commerce, andi have had a good war, in inverted commerce, and i am a great supporter of state schools, my children went to one, that seem to have not stepped up to the mark to such degree, the gulf has been widened. there is also a report that one in three children has not been getting enough sport without going to school. another vital issue if we are trying to tackle obesity and potential dangers of childhood obesity and diabetes. we have got to nail that. sunday mirror, obesity and diabetes. we have got to nailthat. sunday mirror, rosamund, the former government scientific

adviser, sir david king, saying we are heading for another lockdown next month and agreeing the schools should be prioritised over pubs. yes, rather depressing read. david king, he was the chief scientific adviser, he now heads up something called independent sage, a shadow version of the government's independent scientific advisory group for emergencies. he is saying he expects when schools reopen that the r eight, the rate at which people are passing on the disease, it will shoot up —— the r rate. he also attacks the disastrous track and trace policy. if his collection is correct, the r rate goes above one, each person getting at is passing it on to at least another person, and that becomes rather worrying because we are back into the stage where the virus is

growing, the exact opposite of what we wa nt growing, the exact opposite of what we want to happen. but it is a very gloomy front page and very depressing. it is. the observer, james, the idea of compensating travellers stuck in quarantine, especially people who find out while they are somewhere, for example, belgium, that they suddenly have to quarantine for a couple of weeks when they come back, in other words, it is sprung on them. yes, i have sympathy for people, sympathy with people sunning in the bahamas at the moment which will also face quarantine when they come back, however, i feel there quarantine when they come back, however, ifeel there may quarantine when they come back, however, i feel there may be some element that the government shouldn't be constantly forking out for people. it is your own choice to go on holiday. if you decide to go, to the bahamas, belgium, andorra, and talking about france on the brink now, you know it is a risk. should the government and the

taxpayer can be stepping in to bail out people? taxpayer can be stepping in to bail out people ? if taxpayer can be stepping in to bail out people? if they have made their owi'i out people? if they have made their own choice to go? they booked it probably in the pandemic knowing there was some inherent risk in doing so. we already trillions in debt. do we need to add to that by doing this to placate people who have made their own choice to go on holiday? boris johnson seems to be following your advice because according... he listens to you every sunday. the sunday times says he is going for his holiday not to mustique where he has gone before back to scotland with carrie and his new baby. absolutely. i am going to scotland, i hope, in a couple of weeks, unless nicola sturgeon once again advises english people not to come. but i am quite amused rachel johnson hasjust come. but i am quite amused rachel johnson has just been come. but i am quite amused rachel johnson hasjust been and did not have a great time, she said she had to wear her coat even when she was asleep. apparent dig at her brother,

if anyone suggests another patriotic state occasion next year, they can ta ke state occasion next year, they can take a hike. i think scotland is the most beautiful country, many parts of the uk are wonderful, but the one thing you cannot guarantee unfortunately as the weather. sunday telegraph, the obese may be told to stay at home with the virus we bounce, quoting a cabinet minister saying that shielding cohort is too broad and you cannot say every fat person has to shield, it will be more subtle. i would rather hope it would be more subtle. it is rather brutal. we know obviously those who are overweight and obese are more at risk of being hospitalised and of dying from covid, interesting theories around the mechanisms of why that would be, because it is not just other risk factors, notjust that they are more likely to have type 2 diabetes, but this would be quite an extraordinary policy. 0ne thing that strikes me which links the story with the discussion around

whether people should be compensated coming back from holiday, a bit of an assumption that employers will be very generous to people. pretty naive assumption coming from the conservative government. because in both instances, if you tell the overweight, many of whom are workers, to shield, how does that square with having a job? not exactly easy. the same thing with the observer splashed, sort of assuming employers will be kind about people who have gone on holiday and cannot come back into the office or whatever. but this is interesting because as well as and talking about making obese people shield, there is a big government strategy, not quite as extensive as many campaigners would like it to be, to curb obesity, because one of the theories about why the uk has been so hard micro badly hit compared with other european countries by coronaviruses we are one of the fattest countries in

europe —— why the uk has been so ha rd europe —— why the uk has been so hard micro badly hit. the repercussions of the terrible explosion in beirut, huge demonstrations, people fed up with the government, they think it is corrupt, incompetent, and that was the underlying cause of the catastrophic explosion. absolutely. truly shocking what has happened in that country. shocking is a word journalists over the years but absolutely germane in this case. i am reminded of the tanning image when george w bush flew a plane over the devastation wrought by hurricane katrina, looking disdainful underneath, the defining image marking the end of his presidency. —— and ellie. forthe marking the end of his presidency. —— and ellie. for the leadership in beirut, the complete destruction, the 43 metres deep crater in the port, the fact the explosives have been stored there for nearly seven

years and people warned it was an accident waiting to happen, they are convinced the government is corrupt, incompetent, and this epitomised it. it sums up everything people have been protesting about since october. the fact the greatest statesman to have visited the country this week is president macron who did a fantasticjob this is president macron who did a fantastic job this week is president macron who did a fantasticjob this week and nobody has seen hide nor hair of the president or the prime minister of lebanon tell the own story, a disgraceful government, and i agree with the protesters, if they can get rid of them, they must. look at the sunday telegraph lead story, rosamund, the migrants coming over in quite large numbers at the moment, partly because of the hot weather, and the french are asking for £30 million, according to the sunday telegraph, to police the channel. a lot of talk about bringing the royal navy, spotter planes, a kind of concerted attempt to stop the migrants, should we be paying france money to get them

on—board with this? paying france money to get them on-board with this? one of the ironies of the story of courses brexit has it much harderfor us ironies of the story of courses brexit has it much harder for us to do this because we had a relationship with france which we have further damaged. the sunday telegraph, massive supporter of pack six, so not the focus of this piece. it does feel like a distraction right now —— massive supporter of brexit. a lot of people feel it is quite a strange thing to be focusing on, afew quite a strange thing to be focusing on, a few people making it, including a pregnant woman, who made it across the channel in a dinghy, absolute desperation that must take to put your own life let alone your child's life in danger like that. so, it does feel like a bit of a distraction when we have this extraordinary situation where we have this terrifying pandemic and on top of that all of the effect on the economy that would have, to focus on a few people and to talk about

deploying royal navy boats and spotter planes as priti patel has done here, it seems quite an extreme reaction to what is actually a very small number of people. james, your view on that? £30 million, should we be paying that to the french?|j absolutely be paying that to the french?” absolutely agree with rosamund and it shames me anyway, one of the great thing is traditionally about this country has been its tolerance, compassion, its willingness and indeed enthusiasm about taking in people from overseas, particularly those who are persecuted. these are people, pregnant women and children fleeing intense persecution and war incompletely conflicted places like syria and yemen. the fact we're threatening blockades by the royal navy, threatening to turn these boats back, it really turns my stomach. these are people in the world, they should be welcomed, not turned away. we have about 30

seconds to talk about the cricket. i can't remember, are you cricket fans? i am. both of us. ladies first. fantastic result, turned it around, so deserving, lovely to see chris woakes so happy, widely known as one of the nicest people in cricket. in tears in the post-match interview. my wife would not know the laws of cricket if they won her over outside lords, she was totally gripped. we need a good story like this. thank you very much indeed. got to cut you off again. that is it from the papers. thank you for watching. here is stav. he waved conditions continuing in southern parts of britain and in deed into next week —— heat wave conditions. it is going to be a warm and sunny day through the afternoon. the cloud

will eventually melt away burning back to the coast, could stay grey and eastern counties with onshore breezes feeling cooler too. cloud dotted around perhaps for western parts of northern ireland. most see in the sunshine. temperature is very pleasa nt in the sunshine. temperature is very pleasant in the north, very warm in england and wales, with humidity, hot again in the south—east, maybe 33. this evening, staying mainly dry, very warm and muggy, cloudy and eastern counties of england. we could see showers developing or thunderstorms in northern and western areas later in the night. warm and muggy night particularly for england and wales. next week, staying warm and humid with quite a bit of sunshine, but the increasing threat of some thundery showers. could be quite heavy. the devil is in the detail where the stones will develop. on monday, looks like we

could see the greatest threat in western parts —— the thunderstorms. and perhaps in northern ireland in the afternoon. plenty of sunshine elsewhere, very warm, warmth and humidity creeping further north in northern england and southern scotland. maybe 34 degrees in the south—east. tuesday, the thundery low over the bay of biscay continuing to drift north, that is what is generating the thunderstorms. tuesday, bit of difficulty to pinpoint where they will turn out, but it looks like the northern half of the uk could be most at threat, and there could be further once in the south—east in the afternoon. another very warm and humid day for much of england and wales and southern scotland. highs in the south—east in the mid—30s. staying very thundery through the week, warm with some sunshine around, but signs by the end of the

week of temperatures returning closer to normal, turning fresher for all.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. amid growing anger at the lebanese government and mass demonstrations over last week's catastophic explosion in beirut, the country's information minister resigns. here in the uk, prime minister boris johnson says it's a "moral duty" and a "national priority" for schools to reopen fully in england next month. i'm very pleased that the prime minister is making schools a priority. i've been arguing for some time that my fear was that children were being left behind in this relaxation of lockdown. 400 taliban militants are to be released after a vote by afghanistan's loya jirga, or grand assembly, in kabul.
