they sort of thought, maybe, "oh, i've always fancied buying a david bailey print!" which ones have been the most popular? jean shrimpton is always popular, always popular. she's the most popular one. even if you put her on the internet, she gets more hits than anybody else. the winsome david bailey, who created the famous model jean shrimpton and married the famous mother catherine deneuve, shows how to bring out the best in a woman. is there anybody that you would have liked to have photographed that you never managed to photograph? i've done everybody i like. i mean, there's ones i missed. i always wanted to do the cuban guy, castro, but i don't have any regrets because you can't do everybody. everybody has got a story to tell, everybody, even the most boring person has got a story if you dig deep enough. now it's time for a look at the weather with helen willetts. hello there. we'll keep some sunshine for the rest of daylight today. the winds are lighter

than they were yesterday, so temperatures are a little bit higher. it feels warmer but we do have some more showers around. not as many as yesterday for scotland and for northern ireland, but they're clustering and pushing southwards and eastwards across england and wales. one or two, particularly in eastern england, could turn out thundery, as well. they'll rumble on into the evening and then fade away and under the clearing skies in the south it's going to turn a bit chilly. we could even have some fog for the morning commute. all change further north and west with thickening cloud on a strengthening wind and rain. quite persistent rain, actually, by the time we get to monday morning because we've got the next area of low pressure towards iceland driving the weather fronts southwards and eastwards, but high pressure towards the south will keep those weather fronts at bay. and after the morning fog clears, it's here where we will see the brightest weather in the southern and eastern areas. the ring turns patchier through the day and, despite the cloud for most, and the hill fog, it will actually be quite a mild day. —— rain turns.

hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... a man has been killed and seven people are injured in stabbings in birmingham overnight — police declare a "major incident" but rule out terrorism. the stabbings occured at several different locations over a period of two hours — police are still looking for a male suspect. almost 3,000 more people have tested positive for coronavirus in the uk — the highest daily figure since mid may.

uk foreign secretary, dominic raab says this week is "the moment of reckoning" as the uk tries to strike a trade deal with the european union. england start well in the second t20 game against australia — they are chasing a total of 158 to win the match and the series. now on bbc news, philippa thomas hears from people around the world about their extraordinary experiences during the pandemic and how covid—i9 has changed their lives. welcome to coronavirus: your stories, a programme about how covid—i9 is changing lives around the world. i'm philippa thomas and this week

we're looking at education, where there's been enormous upheaval over the past six months. as country after country went into lockdown, millions of schools closed their doors. those that were able to took their teaching online. now, in many places, we are in back—to—school season and this week, we hear stories about how the pandemic has already transformed teaching and what it feels like when going back to the classroom is not an easy option. later, we'll speak to an american intern here in the uk who's campaigning for students like herself who are immuno compromised, and most at risk for going back on campus. first, two teachers with two very different stories about how they've adapted during the pandemic. peter is a science teacher in remote, rural kenya who took home a global foundation teacher prize last year. jamie frost is a london

teacher who is a finalist for that award this year. jamie, if i can come to you first. here in the uk, covid has meant remote teaching. how has that been for you? we've been able to continue lessons to a degree, but we've done our best to try and maintain the usual routine of a school day. the lessons are at normal times, we encourage having as many live meetings as possible. i teach from powerpoint, i can still use those, ijust have to annotate virtually. i can still speak to students. so it's been very different, but it's been interesting how it's sort of in some ways become the new norm. it's just become relatively normal. peter, i think your story is different. how has the coronavirus

changed the way you teach? i can say it has had a very negative impact. as a teacher, we are used to going to class and teaching face—to—face, but right now it's not happening. many teachers can agree with me that face—to—face teaching is very important. i can say that teaching science is not very easy at the moment, because you need the practical aspects. you need to have students around with you. you know, putting them in groups. that's one of the challenges we are experiencing. it's not possible to achieve that. not having the routine of school has impacted my students in many ways, they miss their friends because every day, they were interacting with them.

they are not able to have access to things like counselling and even free meals. jamie, there's clearly a different story between the two schools. the fact that pupils, that all of us are social beings, that must make a difference for the students you're teaching too? indeed, i have some of the same problems as peter. the fact that we don't have the face—to—face interaction, in terms of pastoral support it's still much more difficult without being able to see them face—to—face. i've been trying to organise at least weekly form time for students just to check on their welfare and such, and catch up with them. but it has been more difficult, and when the student can't see each other because they have to isolate in their houses, i know they communicate via social media

apps and such, in a similar way they would when they come to school anyway, but it's just not the same and i think students will be incredibly glad when they can come back to school and have that normal interaction between each other. i want to ask you a bit more about how you teach. jamie, even before the pandemic, you were something of a whiz with virtual teaching. tell us a little bit about that. yeah, so i run a platform that's used by several thousand schools. here's an example of the video. it's been used a lot during the pandemic, because the certain software i developed that helps schools in terms of teaching.. you have the teaching resources and teachers have been using my slides. some have been making youtube videos, which have been great.

there's also the example of a virtual whiteboard which i use an awful lot during my teaching, so that allows me to connect with my students. i've been trying to adapt my technology since the lockdown so i can support students better. for example, one thing before lockdown, i might set a gcse paper during lessons, but via my platform. i can basically sit on my computer and see live the answers coming in, so i can identify what question students have misconceptions with. you can imagine how helpful that's been during the lockdown, so i have adapted it so students can see live without me having to reflect what they do. —— refresh. i can still get the same results without seeing the students visually. peter, you are in a very rural area of kenya.

getting online is not that easy for students. tell me about the way you're trying to use technology. students don't have access to the computers, even in my own school, we don't have the facilities. what i'm doing right now is, i support the idea that learning is a continuous process. the students are not in school, but learning should still take place and is not limited to the four walls of a classroom. i give them affordable mobile phones and then at the same time, i give them weekly internet bundles because they have to be connected. without that, you cannot connect to them. at the same time, apart from the phones and internet bundles, i co—operate with other teachers to give them continuous online

mentorship because that's very important — for them to know how to use these mobile phones, which websites to use, what my colleague has said, a very nice website which they can use off—line. most of the time, we don't have internet around here. the other thing that i do as part of this programme is we also help parents and guardians with teaching tips. my own father, most of the things i learned, i learned from my parents. my own father was a teacher. learning can take place at home, not just at school, therefore it helps balance the guidance with teaching tips. they can also help their children learn about practical aspects and life skills while at home. jamie, i wonder if you've got any reflection on what peter said. i have a very lucky situation in terms of availability

of internet and such. i think it's how we can best use resources we have to support students in that completely holistic way. one report that's come out in the uk this week says that what the pandemic has done is shown that those who are better off have done betterfrom education. more resources at schools, at home, etc. those who are worse off socially and economically, may have lost as much as three months of education. i suppose that's a worry for the whole teaching community. absolutely. i think it's so imperative that we make sure, and it's a government responsibility, to ensure all students have a device with reliable internet that they can access education.

technology has so much power to transform education, we have to make sure every student has the kind of appropriate access to it. peter, i'd like to know more about what's been happening to your students. how would you say the pandemic has affected your community? the community has been affected, everyone has been affected. we used to go to school and we had that routine. you know, you wake up, you teach, you interact with students, and then with the other teachers in the staffroom. but right now, that's not happening. i can say that that has had a psychosocial effect on us and our students and the community. currently, many students are staying at home with parents, and they are doing nothing to keep them active, young people like being active and interactive with others, but this has led to boredom.

i'm sorry to say that we have seen cases whereby this has resulted to things like drug abuse, even teenage pregnancy. even as teachers, we fear some students might not be able to come back to schools when they reopen. i hope that will happen soon. our students used to have free meals. right now, that's not happening, because most of our students come from very poor homes. there is a food shortage. some parents are trying to teach their children, i can say this is the time when they are appreciating the importance of our teachers. they are now seeing the great work that the teachers are doing. there is light at the end of the tunnel.

i can say that i'm so happy with the initiative being taken by the minister of education and the government to ensure they come up with a solution on how to ensure to be safe in schools. when the schools reopen, the students are safe and their teachers are safe, and learning continues. 0ne silver lining, i can say this as a parent, is that parents really appreciate teachers, having seen much more of what they do. jamie, a final thought from you. do you think education really has changed forever? i think there's certain practices that i think will change as we come back into teaching. i think schools have been incredibly reliant on technology in the uk. already, at a meeting this morning, my first day of school, and we were discussing how we will reuse that technology more even though we are in school now. certain things like parents meetings online now, and certain aspects of our lesson,

we can still use the same technology. there will be certain things that will be back to normal, my teaching won't change much, but certainly, i think there will be a great reliance on technology as we come back. peter in kenya's rift valley and jamie frost here in london, two of the many ingenious and inspiring teachers around the world determined not to let the virus stop them. you're watching coronavirus: your stories, a programme about how covid—i9 is changing so many lives around the world. i'm philippa thomas and this week, we are looking at education. it's back—to—school season for so many students. but what if you want to keep studying online because you're clinically vulnerable? you feel like going back to school could actually damage your health. 19—year—old cameron lynch isjust finishing an internship here in london with disability rights uk.

she's due to continue her education back home in virginia in the united states, but worries that after months of online learning, physically going back to school could pose a serious risk to her health. when she spoke up about this, she realised she's not alone. cameron has been telling her story. i have type one diabetes, a form of muscular dystrophy caused by myositis and celiac disease. returning to campus for fall is dangerous for my health, and i believe that i'm not necessarily given the same opportunities as my able—bodied peers in order to take the same classes and have the same graduation track as i am supposed to. so i have been trying to make sure that i still get the same educational opportunities as my other peers and to make sure that i am not falling behind in my work and trying to do the same

for other students with disabilities as well. tell us about the letter that you wrote. you put it on social media and what happened? so injune, i wrote a letter talking to my college—aged peers about their use of social media broadcasting. that they didn't care about the isolation or the pandemic and were continuing living their lives, which was impacting my mental health because i was still in complete isolation, still haven't seen anyone for a couple months. so it was very hurtful to me to watch my friends go about their lives, and i didn't expect this to happen, but i had maybe a0 other college students with disabilities or with autoimmune conditions reach out to me, telling me how much my letter meant to them and how they felt less alone. so i then turned this into a support group for immunocompromised college students to have people to talk to and have someone

who understands their frustrations. can you give us an idea of the range of disabilities or vulnerabilities that the students you're talking to are dealing with? there's 50 of us in the group. we have a very wide range of conditions. we have some students who are in wheelchairs, there's a lot of students with diabetes, similar to myself. but we kind of have a lot of autoimmune conditions. and right now, this week in many countries, there's a lot of talk about going back to school and it's seen as a physical thing. moving back onto schools, campuses, but for you, do you feel the conversation simply overlooks you ? yes, i would say so. i would say there are very few schools who have even acknowledged their immunocompromised students, or even acknowledge the presence of us and acknowledging this is a very difficult

time for us. we've been in complete isolation for five months now. and it's not an option for us to go back to school. there's a lot of narrative about choosing to go back or not choosing. if i could choose, i would be back on campus at my school in a heartbeat, but i don't have that decision. that was already made for me by my health and by my doctors, so i am staying at home. and my biggest concern moving forward is i'm worried that students who are still at home are getting left out of the conversation and out of communities, so i'm trying to increase awareness for the mental health of students with disabilities because i know that a lot of them are feeling completely isolated and completely alone. so how can we make sure they still feel cared for and still feel like their universities or colleges still know who they are? and what would make enough of a difference? what specifically are you asking for?

is it more classes to be available online? yes. so i think there has been confusion of what i'm asking for. i'm not saying i want all classes to be only available online. i'm just asking that we have the same opportunities and classes that able—bodied students have. so if the class is only offered in person, we obviously can't take that class. i'm just asking for them to consider us and consider us in their decision about classes and having them available to us, even if we're not on campus. we know they can do it. it's not beyond theirjurisdiction. they did in the spring when they shut down campus, and they have continued to show that if a student were to get covid—i9, they can continue their classes online from quarantine, so why can't we do that from the beginning? student years are often meant to be the best years of your life.

yes. yes, and i think there's a rhetoric around college as these are the best four years of your life, you will never have the same life again. i think it's very damaging for mental health students who aren't able to live that life. to begin with, disabled students don't get the same kind of college experience that normal college students get, so this rhetoric of "this is the best time you'll ever have, these are the best days of your life," that's not necessarily true for everyone. we have to fight to even go to college in the first place, so it is hard to hear that i will never be as happy as i am in these four years when i'm still sitting at home trying to maintain a sense of healthiness and trying to just take my classes and do my internship.

to expose that and provide an opportunity, you are a great example of a student with disabilities, clinically vulnerable, speaking up and getting others to hear you. yes, i think definitely, as much as this pandemic has been stressful and has been kind of a very terrible time to have disabilities, has given me a community. i've met so many students who also have disabilities who i kind of felt alone before and having to fight for my rights at school and having to do all of this. i've been able to help other students realise that they're not alone and that they have a sense of community still, even if it is a virtual sense, and they've already talked about one day after all this is over meeting up and finding a way to connect in person. so i think it's definitely given me a community. it's also given me a voice and it's given me a passion

through this project. i started an internship at disability rights uk which has given me a great platform to work for change in the uk. i'm able to be a voice for young people with disabilities, because we're often forgotten about in the media. i think that it's really important to bring awareness that people like me still exist in the world. we're still people. not all young adults are out partying with their friends. there are still people like me who are still scared and need to take it very seriously. what do you say to young adults in that situation? there'll be a lot of people who are watching who are alone and may be struggling in the way you described. i would say that you are not alone. there are a lot of people out

there who are still having to take it seriously and still in your position, and know that eventually this will be over, and you will be stronger for it. young people with disabilities are fighters. we know the meaning of life and we know from a younger age, our own health, what it takes to survive, which sounds dramatic. we have a greater sense of empathy i would say. so use that to your advantage. how can you speak up for what you believe in and speak up for what you need? because a lot of times we have to fight for everything. how can we make it so that the people who are younger than us won't have to fight as much oras hard? cameron lynch on the dilemma for clinically vulnerable students like her who want to pursue their learning without

damaging their health. i'm philippa thomas. thank you for watching this week's coronavirus: your stories. hello. we've still a few showers around for the rest of daylight, one or two heavy with a rumble of thunder. but still a good deal of dry weather, more sunshine for scotland and northern ireland in particular compared with yesterday, and once the showers fade away we already have the next atlantic low pressure, this area of cloud advancing in, so a very different complexion to the weather tomorrow. some showers around across england and wales, eastern england ty across england and wales because we have the lighter winds. 8ҝy
