And ive got your friday and weekend weather. Some cloud, some rain, the sun, and cooler for all after a very warm day for some of us today. Good morning. Its friday the 17th ofjuly. Our top story. The nhs in england will get an extra £3 billion of funding to prepare for a possible second wave of coronavirus this winter. Some of the money will be used to keep Nightingale Hospitals open to the end of the Financial Year, and for private hospitals to carry out non urgent operations. Our Health Editor hugh pym reports. Today, Boris Johnson today, borisjohnson will set out plans aimed at preparing the nhs in england for the winter ahead. This will include funding to keep the Nightingale Hospital open through till the end of the Financial Year in march. Their workload with covid 19 patients was much less than expected, and they were put on standby. Some are now being used for scans for cancer patients, but Spare Capacity will be maintained in case there is a second wave of Coronavirus Infections. A deal will also be done with hospitals, which provided beds for energy is used during the crisis. Funding will be allocated to cover routine operations for nhs patients. On top of the £3 billion of england, there will be money allocated proportionally to the devolved administrations. The Prime Minister will also confirm plans to boost testing by the autumn and a new Marketing Campaign to raise awareness of the test and trace scheme. The British Medical Association representing doctors said it was vital to understand whether the money would be enough to boost capacity for a potential second wave, and also meet the needs of millions of patients who have had ca re of millions of patients who have had care delayed during the pandemic stop hugh pym, bbc news. Lets speak to our Political Correspondent iain watson. Ian the Prime Minister is also expected today to outline the next steps in the governments covid 19 recovery strategy. Good morning, iain. It is almost back to one of those press conferences later in the day today with a look at a number of things, including a recovery strategy and more about the nhs . Well, thats right. A nine month road map, perhaps a long and winding route to normality that downing street had suggested may more cautious steps to ease the lockdown measures. But i think eating from the Prime Minister was s point of view is giving people the confidence to go back to work. So all that money is for the nhs to say if there is a second wave of the coronavirus, we can handle it. Also talking about local lockdowns, having experienced from where local lockdowns have happened, authorities want to get more data more quickly so they can impose local lockdowns. I am told there is likely to be more powers to impose local lockdowns to keep the virus under control. And in addition to that, i think there will be encouragement from the Prime Minister to change people to go back to work where they can as things slowly go back to normal, as kids slowly go back to normal, as kids slowly go back to normal, as kids slowly go back to school, as the furlough scheme begins to an wine online, and getting people onto public transport, which has been below capacity recently. As for formal guidance, that is see what they will say, because patrick valla nce they will say, because Patrick Vallance has said some companies have found it quite productive to have found it quite productive to have people working from home and there is no need to change the official guidance. Thank you, iain. Russia has dismissed allegations that it attempted to steal research into a Coronavirus Vaccine and meddled in last years general election in britain. The uk, the United States and canada say hackers in russia have targeted various organisations which are currently trying to find a vaccine. Lets cross now to our moscow correspondent sarah rainsford. Sarah, good morning to you. What is the russian government saying in response to these allegations . Well, they have dismissed the allegations as absolutely unfounded, that was the phrase from the kremlin last night. We had from the foreign ministry, dismissing, laughing off the suggestion russia was involved in either of these two things. Interestingly, while perhaps there is not too much concern from the kremlin about election meddling, which we have heard about that going back to the us president ial election where donald trump one the race to the white house. It has shrugged off again. More damaging for the kremlin is the suggestion of this theft of, oi is the suggestion of this theft of, or attempt of hacking into steel Scientific Research based on the Coronavirus Vaccine for stealing. Russia has been racing to produce a vaccine for covid i9, there has been a huge amount of positive coverage for that scientific effort here in russia on state television, for example. We are hearing a lot from officials about how russian scientists are very much in the international race. So i think suggesting russia may have been attempting to steal the Science Behind vaccines produced or attempted to be produced in other countries, i do think that is quite damaging for the russian image globally. And certainly here, a lot of people smarting at that suggestion. 0k, sarah. Thank you very much. A stricter lockdown in leicester will be eased after a drop in coronavirus cases. The Health Secretary, matt hancock said that restrictions on schools and nurseries will be lifted from the 24th ofjuly, but bars, restaurants and hairdressers will remain closed. Our reporter geeta pendse is in leicester. Geeta, bring us up to date with what the situation is for People Living there right now . Good morning, charlie. While there is welcome news there is some easing, it is a partial easing of lockdown. As you mentioned, the Health Secretary yesterday announced there would be this partial easing, because there has been a drop in infection rate, not enough to remove all of the restrictions. So this time next week, nonessential shops will be able to reopen in leicester, but there will still be restrictions in place on travel and also on social gatherings. And crucially, the hospitality sector wont be able to reopen, so places like pubs, like restau ra nts, reopen, so places like pubs, like restaurants, hairdressers, that has really sparked outcry amongst many in the Business Community here not just about the toll on individuals, but on the local economy. And many asking for compensation from the government. One thing that will change, though, is the lockdown zone itself. The boundaries. A lot of areas around the city centre are allowed to be released because of a low infection rate. But that has sparked criticism from the city mayor, saying that could happen in parts of the city whether a low infection rates. So some disagreements, indicating just how complex these local lockdowns are. Geeta, thank you very much. Brazil has recorded more than 2 million cases of coronavirus and nearly 77,000 deaths and is nowthe worst hit country after the United States. The country has been hit especially hard by the disease, and many people have blamed president jair bolsonaro, who has consistently played down the severity of covid i9 and has been seen in public regularly ignoring distancing advice. Captain sir tom moore who raised more than £30 million for Nhs Charities will travel to Windsor Castle today to be knighted by the queen. It will be the first face to face engagement her majesty has carried out with a member of the public since march and the only honour to be awarded since the beginning of the lockdown. Heres our royal correspondent, sarah campbell. Happy birthday to you. It started as a family challenge walk 100 lengths of the garden to mark a 100th birthday, and in the process raise £1,000 for nhs to charities. The uk and much of the world was on lockdown at the time and as the former Army Captains story spread it became clear that his understated manner and wise words what needed to hear. The donations kept coming and coming. At the time he celebrated his birthday, the total had topped £30 million. He received an estimated 140,000 cards from around the world. And raf fly past and, subsequently announced, a knighthood. His response was typically modest. Im still tom moore. I think sir thomas sounds very nice, but inside i have not changed. Nothings changed. And today, he and his family will travel here, to the quadrangle inside Windsor Castle where the queens birthday parade was held last month. All investitures have been on hold during the pandemic, but for captain sir tom, the queen has made an exception. And inspiration to many thousands of people around the world, his will be an exceptional ceremony for an extraordinary man. Sarah campbell, bbc news. Its the first night of the proms tonight, and things are going to be rather different to usual, with the Royal Albert Hall closed for the First Time Since the blitz. Itll all kick off with a performance recorded by musicians during lockdown followed by archive from years gone by. Heres our entertainment correspondent, colin paterson. The 125th anniversary of the proms, and they never looked or sounded quite like this. No live concerts for the first six weeks, instead, the opening performance tonight on radio 3 is a special commission recorded during lockdown. 323 bbc musicians in their own homes combined to mark beethovens 250th birthday. They are playing a mash up of his symphonies. Accompanied by two dancers who are in a beethoven bubble. This man was chosen to create the piece. There is an entire season, an entire proms season that has had to be replaced. So, yeah, its a wonderful honour but not one that i was expecting to do. And, um, i have made the most of it and its something i have enjoyed hugely and something that it hope captures a lot of the celebratory spirit of the proms. And the whole piece, including a nod to saturday night fever will be shown on sunday night on bbc four. From then until the august bank holiday weekend, the proms will feature reruns of archived performances. But for the final two weeks, a return to the Royal Albert Hall and Live Performances from the likes of Sheku Kanneh Mason and nicola benedetti. For the orchestral pieces, it is not clear how many musicians will be allowed on stage. So four different programmes have be planned for each concert. And as for the last night of the proms, its unclear if the public will even be allowed in, singing along to land of hope and glory. At the moment, the audience can just hope. Colin paterson, bbc news. It is 6 12am. Its a friday morning, lets ta ke it is 6 12am. Its a friday morning, lets take a look at the front pages right now. The Daily Telegraph leads on a warning from Security Services that Russian Hackers have tried to steal information on the uks Coronavirus Vaccine trials. The paper says that the allegations, which the kremlin is denying, came after russia said it would produce 200 million doses of an experimental vaccine. The mirror is also leading on the allegations, reporting that russian spies are accused of cyberattacks on uk labs. Shamima begum, the east london schoolgirl who fled to syria to join is, features on the front of the guardian.

And winter is coming thats the headline on the huffpost website, which reports the governments additional £3 billion funding for the nhs to help tackle a potential second wave of coronavirus in the coming months. We will be talking about that later with a government minister at 7 30am. And this is the closest ever review of the sun, capturing photos of many solar flares known as campfires on the surface of the sun. Do you think the atmosphere or the surface of the sign is hotter . The atmosphere, because of the head. Its a bit like with a bunsen burner, where the hottest part of the flame is slightly higher and the other bit is a bit lower. Did you behave with bunsen burners at school . What is the answer . Yes nicely dodged, though. The atmosphere is 300 times hotter. You said it was the closest ever photos, how far away was it . Uh, but, i have photos and figures here. This heat shield was tested, it can survive 500 celsius. 500 degrees. The closest approach to the sun, i can give you the distance. 26 miles. That might be the distance people are going for their holidays. Im trying to make a segue. They are theyve done a little pool of people and what they look forward to the most with a staycation. Long country walks a right up there. Mr whippy ice cream from a van and fish and chips on the seaside and strolls on the pier, lazy sunday lunches. This one of our more unlikely. Playing 2p machines of the arcade. Another is not having the stress of going to the airport. A lot of people going away this weekend. The thing about holidays, the simple things, you have time to take the pleasure. Fish and chips. The little bit about that is the most satisfying. The best bit is the most satisfying. The best bit is going somewhere exotic. It might just be a little bit more engagement. John mcguire is talking about staycations as well. And we got our cameras outside the building today . Have a look at the weather. If youre about to be going away, you are in luck. Nick will have all that for us. As youve heard this morning, captain sir tom moore will receive his knighthood from the queen today, but months after he began his Fundraising Efforts he continues to inspire others to do the same.

Ive been doing this walk, this one way, or 95 days. Weather has been so kind to me, thats why so good. And the completion of the challenge called for a socially distanced celebration.

Shesjust short of the fundraising target of the £10,000 thatis fundraising target of the £10,000 that is going to cancer care in memory of the husband george who died of the disease 33 years ago. Maureen and everyone is making sure that cancer is not forgot in this pandemic. We think maureen is absolutely amazing, shes been so motivated. The original motivation for maureen came from watching the walk of someone else from her generation. It came from captain, sircaptain tom, generation. It came from captain, sir captain tom, because when i saw him, and then my granddaughter in england said, when she announced it, grand, your generation is great, the things you can do and i thought, what can i do . And i came away and talked about it but it was the 95 that made big, 95 days for 95 miles for 95 years. Itjust that made big, 95 days for 95 miles for 95 years. It just seemed that made big, 95 days for 95 miles for 95 years. Itjust seemed to make a pat and so when i said it, it was just meant to be.

Chris page, bbc news in groomsport, cou nty chris page, bbc news in groomsport, county down stop. Maureen looks like shes enjoying the occasion. Absolutely. Tourist attractions that rely on foreign visitors are suffering. Ben is out and about in london at the tower of london. It looks like a rather beautiful morning. When were its doors last open . Really interesting, as we look at the impact that its having all sorts of industries. Good morning to you both. Look at this glorious start of the day down here in london. One of londons oldest buildings against some of its newest. The tower of london next to the city of london. Down here on the side of the river thames, its down here on the side of the river thames, its glorious. Really struggling because like all tourist infrastructure right now, destinations, attractions, the same number of visitors coming to this country are not coming, normally they get around 15,000 visitors through the doors here every single day in the summer. At the moment, there are just day in the summer. At the moment, there arejust 500 day in the summer. At the moment, there are just 500 or so coming through. Partly because they are restricting how many are coming in. They need to make sure people stay apartment foreign visitors to make bulk of travellers here are just not coming to the uk. Andrew is the governor here at the tower of london. Talk me through the impact. 15,000 down to what, 500 . That is a big difference. A massive drop and it means as a charity, we are losing overall 90 meg million of income overall 90 meg million of income over this Financial Year. 90 £8 million. In the tower we usually see millions and in a busy day, up to 15,000. This place would be full of visitors during those periods but its dropped right down. What it means is as it is dropped, its created a special opportunity for those who come. Its lovely to be here at the place to yourself. But thats not good news of your finances. A lot of upkeep Something Like this. We need to make sure this place is looking amazing. To do that, we need visitors. We are com pletely that, we need visitors. We are completely self funded or visitor funded. We need that steady flow of people coming through in the International Market is one of the biggest. Give me a sense of where people come from. We have a lot of tourists who come domestically. People coming to the capital having a look around but i imagine the bulk of your visitors coming somewhere like this from abroad. From the tower, 70 of our visitors come from overseas and a large proportion is from the United States so we hope that people are going to begin to come back, particularly those from europe can now travel and with no quarantine restrictions it means people from france and germany and the rest of europe can come in easily. The us market will take longer to pick up but over the time, just trying to struggle to make things meet without that normal flow. Do you worry about how long that will take . Normally it tied to over the rest of the year. We are getting too winter where you might have a quiet period. Over the course of the Financial Year, we might lose millions. We hope it will pick up slowly. We dont predict this market will recover until around 202a. Slowly. We dont predict this market will recover until around 2024. Its pretty bleak, tough for everyone. Give mea pretty bleak, tough for everyone. Give me a sense of what its like inside. Youve been living in the tower during lock down. Four months in the tower with the beefeater s. Its a Small Community of 125 in the tower. Im fortunate love to live there as well. It was a very strange place to be during lock down. The novelty of having the place to ourselves wore off quite quickly because it really only comes to life when people come to visit. This is the best time you could come to the tower of london. People say its too busy, full of tourists but its not. Please come. We will show you inside a little later. Its fascinating. We will look around a bit later in the programme and give you a sense of what they are doing to make it safe for visitors but also dealing with that big falloff in the number of foreign visitors. We will show you around a little later. The sprinklers arejust around a little later. The sprinklers are just starting so i might get wet. See you soon. There is something beautiful about Central London early in the morning on a summers day like that. Absolutely stunning. Talking about staycations, and look at that, it stunning. John, how are you . I dont know what bens shot looks like blood im pretty sure he cant be this. South West Cornwall, almost at lands cant be this. South West Cornwall, almost at lands end. Its unique in the world, this open air theatre, the world, this open air theatre, the minack theatre, carved by hand, hand tools and dynamite into the cliff face here at porthcurno, an extraordinary place to come and visit. Cornwall was in lockdown as everywhere else was, you may well remember, the message very much was stay away. They said, we will welcome with open arms once we and people are coming back. It is very busyin people are coming back. It is very busy in certain parts of the county but the message, spread yourself out, spread your visit out because of course, people need to be social distancing. A strange time. Been talking to businesses that say they have to adapt. They also found positives in adapting the way they run their Business Model butjust ta ke run their Business Model butjust take a look at this. Im sure you cant beat it. A couple of sailing boats, a great morning. Probably getting a bit of sunshine later on.

The weather front make slow progress. Scotland, Northern Ireland, into more of Northern England and parts of the midlands later.

Northern england, parts of the midlands and wales, seeing cloud and outbreaks of rain, southern england into east anglia will stay dry, still getting quite humid here, north of the weather front. Particularly into scotland. As we go to part two of the weekend, our weather front journey south overnight it looks like they have heavy rain along it at this stage.

The first one is worrying a lot of people. The notion ofa worrying a lot of people. The notion of a second wave.

It is not as if it has gone away now, but there are concerns about what might happen come september or october. Yeah. I think, happen come september or october. Yeah. Ithink, so, one of happen come september or october. Yeah. I think, so, one of the reasons we managed to control the spread of coronavirus was because we locked down. We reduced to the transmission.

And there is a chance that, you the virus will spread and now moving into winter so we could have a second wave outbreak happening. So our patients coming to you, concerned about this . happening. So our patients coming to you, concerned about this . I do not think they are concerned about a second wave yet. I think they are more worried about people are worried about having to work, trying to negotiate how everything is different. When you see a gp you have to go through all of these various ways, going to the shops is different, seeing how things work safely, all working from home. The ghosting all of those issues, there isa ghosting all of those issues, there is a lot of anxiety with people trying to get back trying to stay safe as well.

They have to deal with so much directly. All sorts of anxieties. And well be talking about that later in programme as well. Its time to talk to mike. You know, when you were ill and you werent allowed to play with your friends on the streets and you felt so miserable. You were thinking, let me out just for miserable. You were thinking, let me outjust for an miserable. You were thinking, let me out just for an hour. Miserable. You were thinking, let me outjust for an hour. But you were told no, and it was so frustrating . I know where you are going a similar situation forjofra archer. He must be sitting in the hotel room, looking at the pitch, as he has for the last five days. Fresh criticism for bowlerjofra archer whos been banned from playing in the match after breaking bio secure rules. His trip home between this and the last match in southampton could have cost english cricket millions of pounds, according to director ashley giles. Archer now faces a disciplinary investigation. A disaster. A small act, the Ripple Effect this could have had the whole summer could have cost us tens of millions of pounds. So, you know, it hopefully we can look back on it and jofra archer can learn from it. And he will learn from it, im sure. But, you know, the potential knock on effect from all of this, i dont think he could have understood. As for the match itself england head into the second day, in a strong position, thanks to half centuries from ben stokes and dom sibley. That was after some early struggles when the west indies, reduced england to 81 for 3 as captain joe root fell for 23. But dom sibley steadied things with an unbeaten 86. Hell resume alongside stokes later whos on 59 in a Partnership Worth 126, england on 207 for 3. We are in a great position but we have two respect the west indies as well.

We have confirmed the second highest finish in the history of the club stop and in european football, so lets see with two games to go where we end up. So leicester are ahead of Manchester United, on goal difference after united kept the pressure on with a 2 0 win at crystal palace. Anthony martial with the second. And guess what .

Ezri konsa had put them ahead at everton, but his acrobatics couldnt keep out Theo Walcotts late equaliser, as villa remain second bottom, three points from safety.

Rory mcilroy is four shots off the lead on 1 under par. It was hoped that this would be the first event to allow spectators in, but the pga tour had decided to pay the rest of the season without fans as coronavirus cases continue to rise in the United States. And weve heard so many players saying the lack of fans is affecting their game. Is it affecting you, naga . Its nerve racking on the first tee when you have a crowd of people watching. I was lucky to be in a pro am, and i had the shanks, its when you hit a ball and it goes off had a right angle. It happens all the time. My katie told everyone to lie down on the right hand side before i took the right hand side before i took the shot caddy. The right hand side before i took the shot caddy. I took out a car windscreen on a shank. Did you leave a note . The person was right there. We re a note . The person was right there. Were they in the car when it happened . Thankfully, no. But god, imagine that. It is a golfer as nightmare. So no, i dont like that. Hard to watch. Thanks for that. 6 42am. Cyberattacks have been on the rise in recent years. More than half of british firms reported them last year, with hackers accessing all sorts of sectors. Security services are now warning that russian spies are targeting organisations trying to develop a Coronavirus Vaccine. Keir giles is an expert on Russian Security issues. When we hear they are trying to access this Coronavirus Vaccine research, how would that have been done . Well, we havent got many very details on what the technical processes involved were. We can assume the companies that are looking into these vaccines will aggregate security anyway, because they will be concerned about commercial competitors going out of the same information. But what little we do know does mention spearphishing attacks where the hackers craft e mails and messages that look like they are from a trusted source. The aim is for them to have people click a link and enter login credentials, whether it isa enter login credentials, whether it is a medical database or banking credentials, it is the same technique to have people handing over details they need to crack open that information. What do you hear when you does make what you think when you does make what you think when you does make what you think when you hear the russians say, it is nothing to do with us. It is almost always a denial. When does the language change enough think ok, they kind of admit it but dont admit it . That is an important point without the moment. You might think the russians and isles are com pletely the russians and isles are completely worthless after so many times when the denials are routine like mh17, they be attacked at salisbury, hospitals in syria, so actually looking, if you look at the long term patterns of these denials, they do give useful information. Because when russia looks uncertain or as confused as everyone else as to what is going on, it is possible they were not behind it. But when you said his firm, confident, co ordinated denials coming out, which are accompanied by a Disinformation Campaign that starts with russia activating its troll and bot armies on the internet, that is a pretty good indicator that yes, russia is at fault. Then you tell me about this group atp29 . What is its significance . Lets not forget all of the names you are hearing from this cyber group, atp29, the dukes, cosy bear, and others, they are names from west linn cybersecurity organisations westonia. We know they work for russian cyber intelligence, and they have a chain of command that tells them how to operate, those are closely guarded secrets on the russian side. But these are groups that are used to carry out cyberattacks was that whether its carry out cyberattacks was that whether its beginning information as we have seen with a vaccine, or interfering with political processes abroad, as we have seen with the attacks on elections in United States and france and now also here in the uk. What, when it comes to interfering or accusations of interfering or accusations of interfering with the uk elections in 2019, what could have, would have happened, and what would have been the impact of that . This seems to have been a classic russian leak attack and then new pastor to people who you think will use it on your behalf. In this case it was the labour party, Jeremy Corbyn branching the stolen documents as part of an Election Campaign but there is always somebody who russia can rely on to become the information theyve stolen and actually use it to further russian names. In fact, it was another labour mp joining further russian names. In fact, it was another labour mpjoining in honour attack on another british organisation, the integrity initiative, somebody who would be a target for russia. Its interesting when you can say you can always rely on someone or somebody to pick up the information. There is more to it than that, isnt there . No, there isnt. Unfortunately it takes someone who is either hopelessly naive or deluded or unscrupulous to use the material that comes from russia and two in fact help the people who are attacking this country along with their is always somebody, when you look at the pattern of all these attacks, take for example, the us president ial election, the attack on the Democratic National congress would not have succeeded if it werent for the cooperation of the us media. Thank you very much. Keir giles, an expert on Cyber Security talking to us expert on Cyber Security talking to us from northamptonshire. Britains beauty spots are enjoying a welcome boost as more people stay at home for their Summer Holiday this year. Breakfasts john maguire is in cornwall for us this morning, to see how residents and visitors are finding the uks new found love for the staycation. Where are you . Thats a very good question. I am standing in a juliet balcony in a theatre, the minack theatre, but no ordinary theatre, look at this, carved into the side of the cliffs here at porthcurno. It is absolutely unique here in the world, there is no other theatre like it, at around 100 years ago, carved out of the rock by hand with a bit of dynamite but its been closed, normally the Summer Season sta rts closed, normally the Summer Season starts here on the easter but it has been closed because of coronavirus restrictions but because its open air, it has been allowed to reopen. You can see the actors going through a rehearsal here for a production of petty feather, one of the productions thats been cancelled over the last three weeks. No work for as in recent times so they are happy to be back on the stage are now starting to get back to normal here, starting to try to catch up, if you like, on all of the mist, revenues, all of the missed events, great to see them in full voice this morning. Lets have a seagull s eye view from here on porthcurno across the tip, the end of lands end, really, the end of the British Isles and take you over to st ives. The sand, sun and surf, as you would expect from a st ives summer but social distancing means its far from business as usual. Challenging times for all who are trying to work within the restrictions. With the tourists coming, its reminding them tourists coming, its reminding them to be respectful of how we are here, come and enjoy it, we will help you enjoy but if we anti social behaviour, we will issue disbursement notices but thats a last resort, that is not our style here because we want you to have a good time and relax and go home safely. A welcome return but serving so many visitors all at once isnt easy. We have gone from having the place to ourselves to it being com pletely place to ourselves to it being completely packed, as usual, however of course all the restaurants and shops can only take certain capacity, some people havent gone back to work so there is still quite a big issue for the future of st ives in the future of some of our local shops and businesses who are going to still struggle, although people thank goodness are now here. Cornwall is famous for its sardines, the fish of course, not the game, but you wouldnt know it today. When lockdown was in full effect, people are warned visitors to stay away, missing between the situation improved, they would be welcomed back the open arms. And thats happening in spades. This was created by a mermaid and she was swimming around untila created by a mermaid and she was swimming around until a fisherman came in from sea one day and he hadnt caught fish so he tried to ca ptu re hadnt caught fish so he tried to capture with a harpoon she was so upset she broke it. The pandemic is broad challenges but also opportunities for change. Andys boat and surf School Company in North Cornwall has reinvented its Business Model. Probably one of the real positives about the porthcurno issue in cornwall is a lot of the businesses have started working together which would have traditionally been competitors so in padstow, we have an email group working how we cannot be on the pontoons at the same time to allow separation between the passengers and again with the beaches, we work with one of the big surf schools which is close to a surf school, the two big operators and our best to work together. Padstow is synonymous with rick steyn. His businesses employ 600 people in the area. The Culinary School has been converted into a pop up restaurant. His son jack tells me how hard closing the doors has been. If you had offered us doors has been. If you had offered us to open first week ofjuly, when we went into lockdown, we said that would be great because we are a seasonal business, this Summer Seasonal business, this Summer Season will save us, there is no doubt if we missed out on this revenue we as a company, 45 years old restaurant company, would be not trading next year, simple as. Change to survive is the mantra here. Emmas cafe is around the corner from one her grandfather used to run. She was brought up in new zealand but is now back in padstow and adapting her business to cope with coronavirus. We normally cram people in like sardines, really, so it was a tough decision but we decided forjuly and august, wed go ta ke decided forjuly and august, wed go take away only just to decided forjuly and august, wed go take away onlyjust to deal with the social distancing. We cant cram people in like we normally did and with only six tables, it really isnt worth it so weve done take away, we created a whole new frontage. And it is going really well. Living on a peninsula jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean requires a good deal of resilience and never has that been more severely tested than now. John mcguire, bbc news, cornwall. Just wonderful to see some of the shots this morning. A bit overcast but a flat, calm sea, glorious scenes of cornwall and we will find out a bit more about how the county is coping with this sudden influx of visitors as we talked throughout the morning. But now the minack theatre. Im going to interrupt the actors from the minack Theatre Company. Then, how are you as is going to cope with things like bubbles . As you are doing your productions . Weve all got to live together in a commune. Later this summer we are doing stones in pockets and many other actor and wife and daughter are all going to live together. In a bubble. It will be intimate and cosy but im hoping there will be free grub. So win win. But im hoping there will be free grub. So winwin. Because you havent worked for months . Yes, quite a long time. Break a leg. Thanks a lot. Challenging times for everybody. But especially a place like cornwall which relies so heavily on tourism and its such a small window i suppose. And thats one of the things. Good morning, zoe. They are going to try and extend that window, open that window further spread out the cost. You are the executive director here at the minack theatre. It is with roofs are still closed. Youre able to open. Where will you go from here and how you catch up . Its been great of the news last week that we can stage performances so we open onjuly four and we had visitors coming in and as of last saturday we could put actors on the stage but up until then we couldnt have actors doing any kind of theatre on the stage so we have some storytelling shows which of all sold out and we are gradually increasing our capacity so we started at 150 people for a show that would normally seat 800 and we are increasing that as we can get more comfortable so we can seat each Household Group socially distant and we are starting a season of main shows which will run through into a towbar. Will be catch up . No. Its all about this, just get some activity on the stage as said we can over the rest of the summer and hopefully it wont rain. It never makes much difference, its a spectacular setting. Can you survive with those reduced numbers . We have a play called stones in his pockets which isjust a play called stones in his pockets which is just too actors. We can use a flat stage floor. Its all about working, its smaller scale, we can afford to put that on and generate enough revenue. Thankfully the minack theatre came into the situation with a significant level of reserves. Survival isnt so much of reserves. Survival isnt so much ofan of reserves. Survival isnt so much of an issue for us. We have lost an awful lot of money and we have to look at it as we go forward. Can you extend the season . We played october half term last year so we are planning to go through to over half term and the number of visitors in the autumn starts to drop off so the audiences become a different thing the winter. Youve got some news about some of the shows coming up. We are working with david q and staging david russells educating rita with Stephen Tomkinson and Jessica Thompson and that goes on sale this morning. We have missed if the moviemakers coming to do their west end show so we are working with two fa ntastic west end show so we are working with two fantastic western producers and have some great work for the audience this summer. Its nice to have a smile on your face. wonderful sentiment. Great and on. I think thats what we found out the last few days, the more challenges we talked about, turning into opportunities, people making the best of it really. Still challenging times ahead but lets see what happens. If everybody works together as we heard throughout the morning, there should be some sun on the horizon. Just over Porthcurno Bay. Back to you. Its an exquisite spot therejohn. Good back to you. Its an exquisite spot there john. Good to back to you. Its an exquisite spot therejohn. Good to hear the positive vibes from the theatre owners about how things may be getting back to some kind of normal so we will rescue away from there. Maybe like your images on the coast. How about this one . The tower of london across the city of london in the pale sunshine. We will show you what it looks like outside our studios. A really beautiful morning. A lot of people are going to be enjoying that. Look at those views this morning. Arent we lucky . enjoying that. Look at those views this morning. Arent we lucky . A bit of rainfor this morning. Arent we lucky . A bit of rain for some of us. A lovely start large parts of the uk. Quite warm and muggy but this shows you where we have a bit of rain falling to start the day. A wet start across parts of western scotland. That rain more patchy to the east. Some of it pushed into Northern Ireland as we notice this morning, thats not the story across the uk. A lovely view, this one from lincolnshire this morning. What is going on. Why is it raining for some, Fine Brothers . This weather front which is bringing the cloud and rain into scotland and Northern Ireland is the culprit and its going to spend a long time taking its move south across the uk over the next several days. Still around across southern areas on sunday but this is where we are seeing that rain today. It will pull away from northern scotland, still there this afternoon, southern scotland. Northern areas of Northern England but south of that, cloudless morning, spells coming through. A warm and muggy day, a fresh feel in the sunny skies arriving in northern scotland. The cricket today, looks like the weather front will stay to the north of old trafford, at least today. Looks like that rain will be arriving into tomorrow so it will have an impact more so tomorrow. This is where the rain is heading this evening and into tonight. Especially to the west of the pennines. Parts of the midlands later tonight. A few showers in northern scotland. The cloud and rain to the south, clear spells, another warm and muggy night tecumseh the picture into the weekend, still very much dominated by this weather front making its slow progress south across the uk. Paint dries quicker than it takes for this weather front to move south and still for tomorrow, raining for some of us. A few showers in scotla nd some of us. A few showers in scotland and Northern Ireland, sunny spells here and south of our weather front, still some warm sunny spells and human feel to things, temperatures edging towards the mid 20s. Overnight into sunday, the weather front pushes further south, heavy rain associated with it for a time and this is a bit of a change in the forecast, cooler air following but the weather front may just be lingering towards parts of south east england, especially into sunday morning was elsewhere, a bright day on sunday but it will be feeling a bit better. Good morning. Welcome to breakfast with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. Our headlines today £3 billion of extra funding to help the nhs cope if theres a second wave of coronavirus this winter. Open for business, but where are the visitors . Some of our biggest Tourist Attractions are struggling as Foreign Tourists stay away. So, what happens next . What are the implications for places like this . Im at the tower of london this morning to find out. Captain sir tom moore will be knighted by the queen today in his own personal ceremony at Windsor Castle. Good morning. A sporting disaster that could have cost millions. Jofra archers breach of bio secure rules could have been a disaster, according to the director of english cricket, ashley giles. The nhs in england is to get an extra £3 billion to help deal with pressures this winter, thats including a possible second wave of Coronavirus Infections. Some of the money will be used to keep Nightingale Hospitals open to the end of the Financial Year. The British Medical Association, which represents doctors, says more detail is needed on how far the money will go. Lets talk to our political correspondence iain watson. Iain, weve heard a lot about a second wave and what those numbers might look like. The government reacting to that. Thats right, naga. Very frightening numbers the government was active scientific advisor, a Commission Report showing that could be as many as 180,000 deaths in hospitals if there is a second wave. So the government is trying to tackle this in two ways, first of all, to say there will be enough capacity in the nhs to do with a second wave, and keeping these Nightingale Hospitals open which we re Nightingale Hospitals open which were underused in the first wave. They will be open until march next year at least. But to prevent a second wave from happening, the government is doing a range of things, first of all, ramping up testing to around 500,000 a day by the end of october. The reason for thatis the end of october. The reason for that is so people getting conventional illnesses, they need to have Rapid Testing to tell them where they stand in addition to that. And they will be expanding the amount of people eligible for free flu vaccines to take pressure off the nhs in that way. But also there is going to be new powers for local authorities to impose local lockdowns, so that when for example, outbreaks happen, they dont get involved in discussions between local and central governments. They can actfar local and central governments. They can act far more quickly and with far more data to suppress the virus so you dont get a nationwide or even citywide lockdown in future, and you can get under control that i was under control. The British Medical Association is sceptical whether there will be quite enough money to deal with covid and routine operations in the nhs which had to be cancelled, of course, during the first wave. And we have been hearing about more regular or normal operations, the idea is to get them back going. In the Prime Minister is going to be talking about encouraging people back into the office . Well, thats right. To get the economy going, getting people back into the office entering a whole range of other things as well for as well. Getting people into the sandwich shop. Public transport has been underutilised, so also encouraging people to take public transport. But i dont think it will be an edict to return to normal immediately. There isa return to normal immediately. There is a road map over the next nine months, kids going back to school, so it should be more possible for people to return to the office than simply working from home. She scientific advisor so patrick valla nce scientific advisor so Patrick Vallance was telling mps yesterday some Companies Find it perfectly productive to have people working from home, so he didnt see any reason to change that guidance. Ok, iain. Thank you very much. Well be talking to James Brokenshire, the security minister, at 7 30am. Russia has dismissed allegations that its attempted to steal research into a Coronavirus Vaccine and meddled in last years general election in britain. The uk, the United States and canada say hackers in russia have targeted various organisations trying to find a vaccine. Security experts havent specified which ones though, or whether any information had been stolen. A stricter lockdown in leicester will be eased after a drop in coronavirus cases. Now the Health Secretary, matt hancock, said that restrictions on schools and nurseries will be lifted from the 24th ofjuly, but bars and restaurants and hairdressers will remain closed. Our reporter geeta pendse is in leicester. Geeta, some centres there. Just tell us geeta, some centres there. Just tell usa geeta, some centres there. Just tell us a little more . Yes. Good morning. Some changes there. There are changes, but it is a partial easing of the lockdown. Yesterday, the Health Secretary, matt hancock, praise people here and said the infection rate is falling, but not enough to ease all restrictions. So what would that look like . Well, this time next week nonessential shops will be able to reopen here in leicester along with childcare and schools. Although it is the school Summer Holiday already here. What wont be happening as restrictions on travel, they will remain the same. The hospitality sector will remain the same set places like pubs, restaurants, hairdressers, they wont be able to reopen, which has sparked a lot of frustration. The boundary is changing, so some of the areas that are outside of leicester will be released because of lower infection rates there. But if you live in the restriction zone, in reality, life isnt changing that much. Geeta, thank you very much. Captain sir tom moore, who raised more than £30 million for Nhs Charities will travel to Windsor Castle today to be knighted by the queen. It will be the first face to face engagement her majesty has carried out with a member of the public since march, and the only honour to be awarded since the beginning of the lockdown. Heres our royal correspondent sarah campbell. Happy birthday to you. It started as a family challenge walk 100 lengths of the garden to mark a 100th birthday, and in the process raise £1,000 for Nhs Charities. The uk and much of the world was on lockdown at the time and as the former Army Captains story spread, it became clear that his understated manner and wise words were what people needed to hear. The donations kept coming and coming. By the time he celebrated his birthday, the total had topped £30 million. He received an estimated 140,000 cards from around the world. An raf fly past, and, it was subsequently announced, a knighthood. His response was typically modest. Im still tom moore. I think sir thomas sounds very nice, but inside i havent changed nothings changed inside. And today, he and his family will travel here, to the quadrangle inside Windsor Castle, where the queens birthday parade was held last month. All investitures have been on hold during the pandemic, but for captain sir tom, the queen has made an exception. I could never have imagined this would happen to me, he tweeted earlier this week. Its such a huge honour, and i am very much looking forward to meeting her majesty, the queen. An inspiration to many thousands of people around the world, his will be an exceptional ceremony for an extraordinary man. Sarah campbell, bbc news. Making the nhs battle ready the government hopes an £3 billion will help the Health Service deal with pressures this winter, including a possible second wave of Coronavirus Infections. Downing street says it will make the nhs battle ready. Were joined now by saffron cordery, the deputy chief executive of nhs providers, the Membership Organisation for nhs trusts in england. Cani can i check these numbers with you . We are hearing enormous numbers in terms of finances. £3 billion of extra funding. Can you put that in some kind of contact for us . extra funding. Can you put that in some kind of contact for us . I think actually that is a very, very good question because, if you think about the nhs as a whole, its annual budget is around £120 billion a year. So that might give you some idea. Its, you know, a little under 396 idea. Its, you know, a little under 3 of its annual budget. So perhaps that helps in terms of putting it in some kind of contact. But i think what we need to see is additional funding say is additionalfunding for the nhs is obviously welcome, but i dont think we are clear yet what this money will be used for and what this money will be used for and what it will cover. And that is what nhs trusts on the frontline really wa nt to nhs trusts on the frontline really want to hear, because they are facing a triple whammy of pressures coming up. They have the pressure of winter itself buys the possibility ofa winter itself buys the possibility of a flu epidemic alongside coronavirus. They are dealing with this ongoing pandemic and needs to be ready for a surge. And finally, they need to start getting usable services up and running, so they are dealing with a lot of ongoing pressures. Dealing with a lot of ongoing pressures. So while a £3 billion sounds like a lot of money, we need to be absolutely clear how an wearer that money is going to be spent. How and where. Are you clear where it should go . We are absolutely clear we need to have robust local services. Thats about making sure hospitals can be set up in a way where they are not using eight bedded wards, but they can quickly transform their wards into single bedded wards so we stop the spread of infection. We need to make sure we have local Community Services in place to keep people out of hospital. We have got to make sure our Ambulance Services and 1111 really at the top of their game, they can manage any additional surge in demand. And also, we have got to ensure our mental Health Services, which have experienced extreme demand over the previous and coming period, i really able to function. Listening to that, that list you have just gone through about what is required, and then i will refer back to the £3 billion some, do these two things equate . Is the sum of money being posed in extra money sufficient to do what you think needs to be done to prepare us . We are not yet clear about that. Because i think the £3 billion, according to the information that i have read so far, which is the number 10 downing street press release, which is all we have had, also talks about covering a major flu vaccination campaign, it talks about keeping nightingale wards open, and it also talks about maintaining the additional independent sector capacity. They are all very important things, but you put those alongside others we have talked about, and you do get to perhaps find a difficult place. On the nightingale wards, the Nightingale Hospitals, they are very, very important to manage any surge that we have with the coronavirus pandemic. But weve got to think about whether staff where these data coming from from those hospitals, because they take extensive staffing. We need to make sure we use the Nightingale Hospitals but make sure our local services are as robust as possible. Im listening carefully to the words you use there, saffron cordery, and you use there, saffron cordery, and you said we could be getting to a difficult place. Given the alarm or concern, which ever phrase you want to use, about the potential scale of a second wave, when you say a difficult place, we went through this before where we said we had to be prepared. Notwithstanding this £3 billion announced today, do you feel were to the same place, not prepared . I think we know the nhs frontline is really in a much better position to deal with the coronavirus pandemic. It has been there before, so it knows how to deal with that, and i think its got it deal with that, and i think its got itis deal with that, and i think its got it is in deal with that, and i think its got itisina deal with that, and i think its got it is in a place where it really can manage that, assuming that we put all of these wider measures in place. And i think that is where we need to be really clear. We need to be stopping the spread of infection, we need to be, you know, really containing the number of cases coming through. And we really need to make sure that we are thinking not just about a e departments, not just about hospital trusts, which are critical in this, but also about those Wider Services around them which play a vital role. What i would put in the mix here is also social care. Where is the funding announcement . Where are the plans for social care . It is so long over to have a major announcement on the future of social care. We need to see some action quickly there because the nhs and social care really function hand in hand. Without that, we will find ourselves ina without that, we will find ourselves in a difficult place. Saffron cordery, thank you for your time. Saffron cordery, deputy chief executive of nhs providers. You the case of Shamima Begum, the east london schoolgirl who fled to syria, has proved highly controversial. In february 2015, she travelled from her home in bethnal green, along with two classmates and travelled to syria to join the Islamic State group. She was just 15 years old. Her citizenship was revoked by the home office on security grounds, after she was found in a refugee camp in Northern Syria in 2019. Ms begum took legal action claiming the decision was unlawful but a special immigration tribunal ruled she could be stripped of her citizenship. Yesterday the court of appeal ruled she should be allowed to return to the uk to pursue her legal case. The home office says it will appeal. We can speak now to maya foa, director of reprieve. Thank you for talking to us. Do you think Shamima Begum should be back here to be heard . Absolutely. I think this ruling is very welcome and long overdue. Its really stepping in where the government has failed to step in to provide some sort of address and a sensible plan Going Forward for ms begum with the otherfamilies, the Going Forward for ms begum with the other families, the british Going Forward for ms begum with the otherfamilies, the british families held in north east syria. Otherfamilies, the british families held in northeast syria. What would be the security concerns for Shamima Begum coming back . What we understand is the safest option according to Security Experts like the former head of m16, the safest option for people like ms begum and others like her would be to bring them back and monitor them, prosecute them where appropriate but not to leave them in this desert prison that we know is at the brink of collapse. It is much safer to bring them back where we can follow them, track them, prosecute them, a range of measures to be used, and leave these numbers of people to lose track of them all together in north east syria. Lose track of them all together in northeast syria. There will be those that say she chose to go to syria, she chose to leave the uk. Why should she now be offered the british Justice System . What were talking about here in terms of the british nationals is the smooth number ofjewish families, the majority of people were held in north east syria are british children amongst the british families. They are women, some of whom were trafficked into syria into forced marriages and domestic servitude. For those women and the men who need to be prosecuted, its entirely appropriate to bring them back to, to take responsibility for these individuals and also to take responsibility ability for their own National Security. If we want to be safe, we follow the call from Security Experts like the former head of m16 who said it is safer to bring them back to that it is to leave them where we cant keep track of them, we know its an unstable region, we know there are risks people will be transferred or escaped and wept children are dying every day so for me this isnt about the individual case, this is about a do nothing policy by the British Government that is making us far, far less safe and has gone on for far less safe and has gone on for far too long. Thank you very much for your thought, maya foa from the not for profit tree. Reprieve. Were joined now by alan mendoza, executive director of the Counter Terrorism think tank, the Henry Jackson society. Thank you for your time. I dont know if you heard much of what maya foa was saying but coming from the perspective that Shamima Begum should be brought back here to face justice, and its a safer option. Your thoughts . You call is right leaning that,. Your thoughts . You call is rightleaning that,. Sorry, your thoughts . You call is rightleaning that,. Sorry, doctor mendoza, we had problems with the sound. Could you restart your answer again please. Im saying that National Security is not a right wing concept, the last time i look, its something everyone is concerned with its interesting people look at National Security purely from the perspective of what would happen if you left someone in syria. What if you brought someone who had lived with Islamic State back to the uk and they were used as a radicalised or a recruiting poster person for a terrorist group here. What would happen if someone was inspired by her example or the example of the others who might be allowed back in under this ruling. I note that reprieve mentioned there would not be terrorists likejihadi jack who could be allowed back into the uk and what would happen if one of those people committed a terrorist atrocity on our soil, what would National Security look like then . To take the first point you made with social media, the internet being the way it is, you can be inspired from any country, cant you . That would be the counterargument to that and this is an individual case. Is your concern that this would set a precedent for others to come back . Im concerned about this individual case, whos expressed very little remorse for the years she spent watching people in conceptual slavery, watching them being beheaded and was a part of the society she was living in but you are right, there is a precedent of danger here. In theory, others could apply for the same right to return to the uk to have an appeal against the cases of their citizenship being stripped and he would have an influx of potentially 150 people returning. This is all very stretched right now, they dont need a shot in the arm that would give extremism in the uk and to have these people on our soil, arguing in our courts about their ideology. Also what maya foa said is that a former director of mi6, she quoted that person saying if we leave these people in an u nsta ble if we leave these people in an unstable region, they can do far more harm. Well, i would rather take the harm they can do there, stuck in the harm they can do there, stuck in the deserts of syria far away from british citizens then roaming the streets of the uk where they have direct contact and ability to kill their fellow former citizens or to inspire further extremism. That seems a far more pressing threat than what they might do next year s time in the desert of syria. Doctor alan mendoza director of the Henry Jackson society, thank you for your time this morning. Who will spend a moment looking at sao some of the holiday situations in spain particular is working out in practice. Thanks at how some of the holidays in spain in particular. For many holiday resorts in spain that are heavily dependent on Foreign Tourists there was always going to be a fine balance between attracting back visitors, and preventing a spike in coronavirus cases. Earlier this week bars and clubs in some parts of magaluf were told to close after german and british tourists were partying a little too hard without any social distancing. So what does it mean for businesses . Laura hamilton owns a pub in magaluf and were also joined by Humphrey Carter from the local newspaper the majorca daily bulletin. A very good morning to both of you. Laura, welcome to the programme. We can see your bar behind you. Just do a bit of logistics for us. As i understand it, your bar is on a street that is parallel to the strip thats been closed down. What have you witnessed . Thats correct. We are on the same street as bcm, the biggest nightclub, so theyve closed all the bars and shop, they closed down the whole street. Are you open at the moment . Sorry . Im not sure. I will repeat the question. At the moment, is your bar open . Are you one of the ones that is allowed to open . Yes, we are open at the moment. We were allowed to open on the 11th of may so usually, we are 10am until 4am but we are just open until the daytime now. 10am until 4am but we are just open untilthe daytime now. I wonder, laura, could you take a searing give us laura, could you take a searing give usa laura, could you take a searing give us a sense laura, could you take a searing give us a sense of what the problems of been . Why is that the authorities there have felt the need to shut down effectively a whole street . We currently gone through serious lot down and weve abided by all the rules. Unless youre going to the supermarket. Or anything at all. In fa ct, supermarket. Or anything at all. In fact, young tourists, they are not abiding by the rules are not taking it very seriously. This is why they come down, it seems to be one rule for one and one rule for another. We are not entirely sure. 75 of people on your terrace at the moment you are allowed and no people inside, no people at the bar. And social distancing obviously, keeping your ta bles distancing obviously, keeping your tables far. Unfortunately, its ruined it for alljust tables far. Unfortunately, its ruined it for all just from tables far. Unfortunately, its ruined it for alljust from one person and its devastating, actually devastating because people have wa nted actually devastating because people have wanted to so look forward. Then back to some sort of normality. Its devastating. Humphrey carter, news editor at the daily bulletin. We are hearing the Immediate Impact of this but the ministerfor hearing the Immediate Impact of this but the minister for tourism there has to maintain safety. It is paramount isnt it. The writing was on the wall since last year. Last year introduced a new law to ease antisocial behaviour not only in magaluf but other resorts. This is an only aimed at the brits but the germans, eastern europeans are any people who come here and dont abide. Last year, there was a combination of anti social behaviour. Plus the coronavirus issue in last weekend was the score straw that broke the camel s back stop i dont think anyone in any of those resorts, i know its tough is mrs but i think a lot of people knew this was coming. And it was on the cards and unfortunately last weekend, that was it, party is over. Very interesting seeing whats going on and the consequences of that behaviour. Thank you both for your time. You are watching bbc breakfast. Still to come weve been live at the tower of london this morning where ben, has been looking at how attractions are suffering because of a lack of tourists. Coming up the latest news and weather. Now lets get the weather with nick. Some lovely views all around the country, weve been in cornwall, we saw the tower of london, we had a glimpse of magaluf, are we going to get some sunshine . We are already. From one of our weather watchers, in kent, its not the story across the whole of the uk but in kent, we are getting on sunday what scotland and Northern Ireland are getting at the moment which is a bit of rain. Thats how long it will take this rain here to move south across the uk. To think it will be raining early in kent on sunday morning. It isa early in kent on sunday morning. It is a very slow weather front. It will take the rain away from northern scotland at least in the day ahead but it is in no hurry to move south across the uk over the next several days. South of that weather front for much of and wales, quite misty in places. The warmth will build today helped by more sunny spells compared to what we saw yesterday. Northern scotland biting up yesterday. Northern scotland biting up southern scotland, Northern Areas of Northern England Northern Ireland keeping that weather front and the cloud and out rakes of rain. It means a range of temperatures across the uk, fresher feel across means a range of temperatures across the uk, fresherfeel across northern scotla nd the uk, fresherfeel across northern scotland but warm and muggy, particularly towards southeast england where temperatures are reaching into the upper 20s. It looks as if that rain bearing weather front will stay to the north of old trafford and a lot of cloud into this afternoon. Its tomorrow were going to outbreaks of rain. The weather front does move into more of Northern England. Parts of wales, the midlands seeing that rain overnight. To the north of it, some spots in scotland, single figure temperatures as we start the day tomorrow and he with this weather front splitting the uk into three zones front splitting the uk into three zones of whether. Sunny spells, wa nted zones of whether. Sunny spells, wanted to blustery showers. The Northern England, wales and the midlands, cloud and outbreaks of rain. Much of southern england and towards each east anglia will stay dry but still quite humid out there. That weather front edges south. A bit of a change for the sunday forecast and that it mayjust linger towards parts of south east england with cooler air following behind for a few hours into sunday morning. Still not set in stone. We talked about that rain early on in kent. We will see that rain for how long on sunday, keep you updated on that. Behind that on sunday, a lot of time weather around, a few lusty showers in northern scotland but as you can see, turning cooler for in northern scotland but as you can see, turning coolerfor all in northern scotland but as you can see, turning cooler for all as in northern scotland but as you can see, turning coolerfor all as you go deeper on through the weekend. For most of us on sunday, temperatures in the teens. Thats your latest forecast. Hello, this is breakfast with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. Our main stories this morning. The nhs in england is to get an extra £3 billion to help you with pressures this winter, including a possible second wave of Coronavirus Infections. Some of the money will be used to keep Nightingale Hospitals open until the end of the Financial Year. The British Medical Association, which represents doctors, said more detail is needed on how far the money will go. Russia has dismissed accusations it has attempted to steal research into a Coronavirus Vaccine and meddled in last yea rs Coronavirus Vaccine and meddled in last years general election in britain. In the uk the uk, United States, and canada say russia has targeted various organisations trying to find a vaccine. Security experts have not specified which ones, though, or whether any information had been stolen. Rotavirus infections Coronavirus Infections have passed the 2 million mark in brazil and over 77,000 have died. This is the second highest tally in any country apart from the United States. Many have blamed the president , jair bolsonaro, who has consistently played down the severity of covid 19 and has been seenin severity of covid 19 and has been seen in public regularly ignoring distancing advice. It is now 7 31am. Time to have a quick chat with mike with the sport. Good morning. And we were reflecting on the cricket action. What about jofra archers in does my time in that hotel room in isolation at old trafford. But the consequences of him breaking crickets bio secure protocols have been made clear. Definitely in the last 24 hours. Archers trip home between this match and the last in southampton could have cost english cricket millions of pounds, according to director ashley giles. Hes been banned from the team and now faces a disciplinary investigation. This could have been a disaster. A small act, the Ripple Effect this could have had on the whole summer could have cost us tens of millions of pounds. So, you know, it hopefully we can look back on it and jofra archer can learn from it. And he will learn from it, im sure. But, you know, the potential knock on effect from all of this, i dont think he could have totally understood. As for the match itself, england head into the second day, in a strong position, thanks to half centuries from ben stokes and dom sibley. That was, after some early struggles, when the west indies, reduced england, to 81 for three as captain joe root fell for 23. But dom sibley steadied things with an unbeaten 86. Hell resume alongside stokes, later whos on 59 in a Partnership Worth 126, england on 207 for three. Stokes is looking like his old self. Now, in football, stokes is looking like his old self. Now, infootball, how stokes is looking like his old self. Now, in football, how about this . The Sheffield United manager chris wilder has accused his players of doing their own thing and the minimum after their defeat at leicester, adding they only act bright when the want a day off or new contract. Strong words indeed. He was speaking after leicester won 2 0, demaree grey sealing just their second win since the restart. It keeps Brendan Rodgers side in the fourth and final Champions League qualification spot. Well, leicester are ahead of Manchester United on goal difference. Just three goals as united kept the pressure on, with a 2 0 win at crystal palace. Marcus rashford with the opener. You couldnt scripted this. Script. United play leicester on the final day of the season. At the other end aston villa boss dean smith admits they might need to win their last two games to avoid relegation. Ezri konsa, had put them ahead at everton, but his acrobatics on the line couldnt keep out Theo Walcotts late equaliser, as villa remain second bottom, three points from safety. Agonising. Brighton still need a point to guarantee safety after southamptons goal machine, danny ings, scored his 20th of the season to make it 1 1 and deny brighton the victory. And talking of the bottom of the premier leaguejust and talking of the bottom of the premier league just outside the relegation zone, west ham have a huge game later on. It is 7 34am. The government has accused Russian Hackers of attempting to steal research on a Coronavirus Vaccine. The kremlin has denied the allegations. Was that that speed to security minister James Brokenshire now. Thank you for yourtime, mr James Brokenshire now. Thank you for your time, mr brackenjar. What can your time, mr brackenjar. What can you tell know about this attempt to steal information relating to the Coronavirus Vaccine . The National Cybersecurity centre, our experts, have provided advisory statements in conjunction with the United States, and canada, to warn that they have assessed russian intelligence agents have in essence, sought to get into the systems of pharmaceutical companies, Companies Involved in the covid 19 action, those involved in preparing a vaccine, to seek to get into, then to use available and investigate what is there, we think with the intent of then extracting property and other information. This is incredibly serious. Its appalling that any government should act in this way. We have called this out, we have obviously given advice to Different Companies as well in terms of the steps they can take to protect their systems, and also to mitigate action. But i think it is right we have worked collaboratively, collectively, at the National Cybersecurity centre, determining it is right to call the south was that their attribution is around 95 loss in terms of who was responsible to call this out. Attribution was around 95 plus. It has information being stolen . There is no evidence to that, but we do know these groups have managed to penetrate into systems and be able to look around. And assess what information is there. It is extraordinary when governments, when different organisations around the world a re different organisations around the world are doing their bit, trying their hardest to secure a vaccine, to do that research, to then discover that effectively a government that is seeking to suggest that they play by the rules, then to see this sort of action happened, completely unacceptable. We have called this out and we will continue to call out incidents where we see Government Agencies and organisations are taking steps to ensure there is that sense of vigilance. And that is the key thing here, by making this assessment, by making this Public Statement from the National Cybersecurity centre, they have done with the us and canadian counterparts. Can i interrupt you. You did say that already. Are you telling us this morning that an attempt to break into the Security Systems or Health Information systems related to the Coronavirus Vaccine has been stopped . Is that what has happened . This is something that has been detected. This is, as the ncsc has thatis detected. This is, as the ncsc has that is an ongoing incident, which is why we have put this alert out there, there are mitigations that have been put in place in terms of, for example, organisations having two fa ctor for example, organisations having two factor authentication, and making sure all systems are up to date in terms of their cybersecurity as well as either procedures and processes the ncsc will be advising. So you are unable to say at this stage that this has been stopped . It is an ongoing situation . It is an ongoing situation. But by calling it out, by virtue of the steps that have been advised and are being taken, that obviously it is that mitigations ares there. But, charlie, its the experts we have, and indeed, the ability we have through the National Cybersecurity centre, to be able to identify, to determine, to attribute in this way, and equally give very expert advice in terms of the codes and sorts of attacks that have been fulfilled, and why the advisory goes into quite a lot of detail, quite a lot of technical detail, so those chief officers that deal with cybersecurity within organisations can see that and assess systems. And if needs be, provide further advice from the National Cybersecurity agency. Are you able as security minister to say categorically that russia interfered with any of our election processes . You will know, charlie, that the foreign secretary made a statement yesterday to highlight that a Russian Organisation is not being attributed to the russian state, but again, 95 plus confidence, sought to amplify and illegally obtain and illegally obtained report relating to us trade to in essence influence our election. Completely unacceptable. It has again been highlighted in this fashion by the foreign secretary in terms of this intervention. Again, incredibly serious. Were not suggesting this has been widespread. This has been an incident, but any time of in this way is completely unacceptable in terms of our democratic processes. Listening to you, mr bracken jar, other people be listening to this and wondering, what does it mean in terms of our election process . And i know the papers are due to be released this coming week mr broken brokenshire, but in practical terms, what does it mean . What we are saying here is there was this incident that took place. In other words, the illegally obtained report, and i am somewhat constrained about what i can say about this because there is an ongoing criminal investigation in relation to that report. In essence, russian identified actors sought to amplify, sought to distribute that through social media, by harnessing the way in which that report had originally been put out onto the internet. That is what were saying here. Quite careful in terms of the terms of what we are seeking to provide that information, but we think it is right that this is stated, that people understand this is the case. Obviously the intelligence and scenario in parliament will be providing their separate report in relation to other russian activities. And obviously that report will be published and will respond to that in the appropriate way. As an issue closer to home to do with the government advice on working, whether you should be in the workplace or not. It would appear the Prime Minister, borisjohnson, i it would appear the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, i know it would appear the Prime Minister, borisjohnson, i know he is due to make a speech later in the day. He is. Is at odds with his chief scientific advisor over homeworking. Chief scientific advisor is the Patrick Vallance is a homeworking should continue. The chief scientific advisor says homeworking should continue. Boris johnson scientific advisor says homeworking should continue. Borisjohnson says people should back into their workplaces. This is mixed messaging coming from government sources. When he should we should wait to hear what the Prime Minister says later today. We will always be informed by the advice we received from our chief scientific officer, and our chief medical officer, and indeed the advice to return to work is that it should be for employers to assess what is appropriate. Obviously we do wa nt to what is appropriate. Obviously we do want to see people coming back, but ultimately it is for employers to determine that. And when people do come back, that that is actually in a covid safe environment. In that guidance we have published to date, there is more detail, but also for employers to consider their workplaces and spaces and how they can properly implement social distancing such that people can come back. And that is the messaging we had given but equally, once people can return, in a careful way, we are seeing that return ellipses a lot of people would be thinking what this means is you effectively are choking off the responsibility in making the decision about whether you should go back to work stop what what this means is you are effectively soaking up responsibility. That this is all down to employers, just like with the pubs. It was down to the landlords make the right goal. Why doesnt the government made clear goals that people can understand . Right call. That is about the guidance we issue. It is guidance to employers, different settings, whether that be shops or other places as well, to be able to prepare and ensure that these workplaces do reflect Public Health guidance, do reflect that need for covid safe guidance, do reflect that need for covid safe spaces. That is the whole point. That is why we have produced incredibly detailed guidance advice for employers, for businesses, to do precisely that. Then when you hear what the Prime Minister says, in terms of this next chapter in our road map, looking into that sense of recovery, absolutely it is about taking account of the advice that we receive from our chief scientific officer. And i pay tribute to him for all of his input as well as all of the other experts that help inform us to make decisions. Mr brokenshire, in what circumstances have you want a so far . Certainly i have you want a so far . Certainly i have got a Face Covering, and it is important to say this about Face Coverings. Have you used your Face Coverings. Have you used your Face Covering in any circumstances so far . I have, being out and about. Charlie, you will know. Airjust making air just making sure airjust making sure we got on with you but certainly going into it, i certainly did wear a Face Covering. Thank you very much. Good morning to you. Tourist attractions. Take a look at the tower of london. Its going to improve. Nick would tell us more about that. Ben is talking to us. What a glorious sight. A lack of tourists, who would normally be flocking there. The city of london, the oldest buildings next to the newest buildings and youre right, we got this place entirely to myself this morning. Its so interesting given the change of where were coming from. Normally we get about 15,000 visitors through the doors here every single day. Currently about 500 given that all of the tourism numbers. And this is what they would come here to see. The white tower at the heart of the tower of london, built in 1078. This place pretty quiet, you can have free reign almost but let interest introduce you to the ravens at the tower. Poppy, melina, george, erin, jockey, jubilee, rep and harris and the legend is when these guys leave, the tower collapses. We will show you some of those later. Getting used to visitors. Lets talk about the industry, its a tough time. The industry is talking about having three winters. Everything shut down. Delighted to be up and opening. This is an necessarily operating economically and you can see in the cities, those International Visitors are just not coming at the moment. There are some domestic visitors. We were talking about staycations, people travelling within the uk but its that lucrative International Market that is the problem. We were forecasting £30 million of revenue from International Visitors this year. We cut 20 billion off that forecast. We know tourism is a huge employer. Well, it is an tourism employs 3. 1 billion people 3. 1 Million People across the country. All that money creates jobs. Its a jobcreating industry. Businesses are wondering whether they can afford to take stuff back when furlow ends. Whether they can make enough money during they can make enough money during the summer months to keep them going through the winter and that is the real challenge. Its the summer and i was talking to andrew, the governor here, its the summer period were tourism makes money but we know all year round, they have running costs. When we see the International Flight arrivals. Talking about 92 down for august. There is an awful lot of work to do in getting businesses profitable. That may be dependent on us, getting out and travelling, but making sure for the autumn, we are talking to International Visitors which is really europe at the moment. How do you do that because every country around the world is trying to get people back. How do you persuade someone to come back here and not paris or new york . It is fiercely competitive in every tourist board is facing the same problem and going for the same solution. We havent been quiet during these months of lot down, weve been using social media and our store really boost that aspiration to come to britain, talk about this culture and films in history and why you would want to come, working with travel trade to make sure as soon as the lights go on their absolutely ready to sell britain. Working with commercial partners to really amplify that message and get the bookings over the line. Good luck, youve got a big job ahead of you patricia. Visit britain, a challenge to get those visitors back here. You know there are logistical issues in getting people here but as you been hearing from john, getting uk visitors to come back to some uk sites, that will also be one of the key things to making places like this still viable. I will show you around a bit later. Really looking forward to being shown around. Its a stunning location. Glitz, glamour and plush ceremony halls its what weve come to expect of a tv award show. But like Everything Else theyre now having to adapt. Tonight, for the first time ever, the bafta craft awards, which celebrates the talent behind the screens, will be shown online. Its hosted by the actor and comedian Stephen Mangan heres a little look. Toilet roll, an ocado delivery spot, a bathtub, three of the most hotly contested things in britain and with socially distanced glamour and shot through with all the excitement of an intergenerational family zoom quiz, we will be giving them all the way, apart from the toilet roll so get off your bikes, put down that sourdough starter, its time for the ba fta craft sourdough starter, its time for the bafta craft awards 2020. Building it up. Stephenjoins bafta craft awards 2020. Building it up. Stephen joins us bafta craft awards 2020. Building it up. Stephenjoins us now. What was that like . Its such a different experience. Firstly, how are you . Im good, how are you . Very well. I am enjoying lockdown . im good, how are you . Very well. I am enjoying lockdown . I dont know if im enjoying it. Were lucky, we are all so thats the first main thing that we have three young boys and anyone with children will know its been a trying time trying to homeschool. All teachers need a 100 pay rise right now. Weve done our minister interview but im sure they are watching. Homeschooling, how have you submitted . Are watching. Homeschooling, how have you submitted . What subject maths, would you believe . I would believe. Hows it going . Ive learned a lot, actually, especially teaching my nine year old and im pushing the frontiers of my maths knowledge but i dont know, everyone will know how hard it is to carry on working and look after kids at the same time. Like i said, we are healthy so that is all good. We started off with the awards ceremony in very different circumstances. How did you find it . Its a shame not to get everyone together in a room and celebrate British Television which is still world leading. We produce lead innovations in television more than any other country. In the craft awards are a great night out. They split the Television Awards into two halves. One award celebrates the programmes, best comedy and best drama and the on screen talent has celebrated everyone else, the direct is, the make up artists, the editors. We couldnt get everyone together in a room, were doing it on line but having said that, it gave me an opportunity to try something a bit different because awards ceremonies follow a similar pattern. There is a 10 minute speech by the host where he is funny about the event, the world of the awards and then we had done lots of gongs were as this year, i could do some sketches, i could use editing, special effect and a bit more sound so it was fun, we had a laugh filming it. Stephen, its charlie. There was a bit of messing around ive seen with your back drop. Did you have a clicker and did you have free reign . Could you put yourself wherever you like . Did they say go for it, whatever . Weve all seen into peoples living rooms. And we are looking very closely, dont worry. When i host the awards i say, welcome to my very humble celebrity home and there is a picture of the palace of versailles behind me so we doa palace of versailles behind me so we do a lot ofjokes like that when we ta ke do a lot ofjokes like that when we take the mickey out of some of the things that have happened over the last few months, especially around celebrities. Imagine, i play few characters. Obviously it was tough because we couldnt get loads of is together so ended up playing joe exotic from tiger king, wayne rooney, Rachel Parrish comes in and helps me out, so we got to put on a lot of silly costumes and sing some songs and i think its a really good show. As soon you said you played, did you see you play the piano and sing imagine. Isee did you see you play the piano and sing imagine. I see a did you see you play the piano and sing imagine. Isee a piano did you see you play the piano and sing imagine. I see a piano right behind you right now. sing imagine. I see a piano right behind you right now. I cant give any of thing away, this is the bafta awards. It is an embargo until this evening. Maybe people havent heard you sing, they would like a little tease. Charlie, i dont think you have any idea how powerful bafta is. There are snipers on every rooftop around here and if i break any confidentiality, i will be in big trouble. Nice try, charlie. You got to try. Charlie, lets play this clip of stephen and rachel and see if we can persuade stephen to get to the piano. Imagine theres no countries. It isnt hard to do. No wa nt to countries. It isnt hard to do. No want to kill. Or die for. And no religion too. Imagine all the people. Living life in peace. Yoo hoo that was very funny. I enjoyed that. We have the power to get hold of ba fta we have the power to get hold of bafta and get a sneak peek about. We will give you the opportunity again. Do you want to shop your skills on the piano . You are not playing. Partly because my four year old is in the floor of a bus asleep and he never sleeps is late so all hell will break loose. We talked to a lot of actors about what a difficult time it is and its almost as shame to end on a serious note but its true. Our industry like a lot of industries has been totally devastated by what is happening and its really ha rd devastated by what is happening and its really hard to imagine acting again at the moment. I was in the west end last year, i dont know when theatres are going to open again. The thought of sitting in a room with 1000 other people in close proximity feels 1 million miles away at the moment. Acting on television, all those things that happen in dramas and comedies. People tend to get up close to each other i dont know whats going to happen. Its a really important part, financially of this countrys infrastructure. Its been lovely talking to this morning. Youve given us a glimpse of how things can done differently. We got to his stephen on the piano. Its a few minutes to eight oclock. We wa nt its a few minutes to eight oclock. We want to show this scene, this is wherejohn is this morning at porthcurno in cornwall. Hazy skies but there is sunshine and the way and nick can tell us more about that. Isnt that gorgeous . Good morning, warm sunshine on the way the some of us and barely a cloud in the some of us and barely a cloud in the sky at north yorkshire. If blue is your favourite colour, that is a site for you but we also colour rain blew on our radar pictures and this is what is happening in scotland over the past few hours into Northern Ireland as well. We do have a bit of rain around to start the day from this weather front which is going to spend the next couple of days taking that rain very slowly south across the uk with some cooler air following on south across the uk with some cooler airfollowing on behind it is a slow process and although we are going to bite them to northern scotland, parts of Northern England, especially the further north you are, will be with that weather front, cloud and up acts of rain. It to the south of that, not Clear Blue Sky everywhere where we will see sunny spells and already a warm start to the day and will get warmer as the day goes on the sofa some of us, reaching into the upper 20s when we get sunshine breaking through. A fresh appeal to proceedings behind that weather front. It looks as if the rain from the front will stay away from old trafford through the bulk of today, a different story, tomorrow for the cricket, expecting some rain then. We know the front is moving slowly southward so eventually this evening into more of Northern England, parts of northern wales and england, clear spells in scotla nd wales and england, clear spells in scotland and Northern Ireland, a cooler night to come, warm and muggy to the sharp south of our weather front. Still making the journey south across the uk during saturday south across the uk during saturday so three zones of weather frost tomorrow. Youre in scotland and Northern Ireland, you will see sunshine. Fairly breezy out there. The north coast of Northern Ireland. The north coast of Northern Ireland. The Northern England in the midlands and wales, south of that, still warm sunshine. Not as warm. Headlines next. Good morning welcome to breakfast with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. Our headlines today. £3 billion of extra funding to help the nhs cope if theres a second wave of coronavirus this winter. Russia dismisses allegations that it tried to steal uk research for a Coronavirus Vaccine. We are live at the minack theatre in west connell, one of the only theatres of its type in the world West Cornwall. How does the Tourism Industry here carry on while the pandemic is still around us . Captain sir tom moore will be knighted by the queen today in his own personal ceremony at Windsor Castle. Its friday the 17th ofjuly. The nhs in england is to get an extra £3 billion to help deal with pressures this winter, including a possible second wave of Coronavirus Infections. Some of the funding will be used to keep Nightingale Hospitals open to the end of the Financial Year. Nhs providers, the Membership Organisation for nhs trusts in england, says their members on the front line want to hear where the money will go. They are facing a triple whammy of pressures coming up so, they have got the pressure obviously of winter itself plus the possibility of a flu epidemic alongside coronavirus. They are dealing with this ongoing pandemic and need to be ready for a surge. And also, finally, they have got to start getting usual services up and running. So, they are dealing with a lot of ongoing pressures. Whilst £3 billion sounds like a lot of money, we need to be absolutely clear how and where that money is going to be spent. Were joined now by our Health Editor, hugh pym. You heard what was said there and the government have made it clear that money will be available. Yes, i think the important elements of this are that it close up uncertainty for the nhs in england, that money is going to nhs england come over what happened to the Nightingale Hospitals can be kept going and case there is another second spike which has spending implications . And secondly, because the private hospitals who are already providing beds to the nhs, could they take on a certain amount of routine surgery, nonurgent operations and that sort of thing . Those deals have been done orare of thing . Those deals have been done or are about to be done and that £3 billion will cover that and one or two other things preparing for winter but as you heard, the question is, ok, a lot coming down the track this winter and a lot more might be needed. What about the possibility of a second wave . It is something people are talking about and trying to predict when it might be which is pretty difficult but scientists are talking about possible numbers . Yes, we had the academy of medical sciences a couple of days ago asked by sir Patrick Vallance, the chief scientific adviser for the government to come to look forward and modelled the worst case scenario, how bad it could get. It was very much worse case and they said it was very unlikely but they said a second surge, it may be injanuary or february next year, coinciding with a flu outbreak, could result in a 120,000 deaths between september and june. But there was another scenario, may be a medium scenario, with considerably fewer deaths. They we re with considerably fewer deaths. They were just with considerably fewer deaths. They werejust flagging with considerably fewer deaths. They were just flagging up what might happen but nobody really knows. Are certainly the warning is that the virus is still out there and local outbreaks are the priority at the moment, but the winter could bring more problems. It is very speculative at the moment and very uncertain, as experts are not acknowledge. Thank you. Russia has dismissed allegations that its attempted to steal research into a Coronavirus Vaccine and meddled in last years general election in britain. The uk, the United States and canada say hackers in russia have targeted various organisations trying to find a vaccine. Security experts havent specified which ones though, or whether any information had been stolen. Earlier security mrJames Brokenshire spoke on the programme at the National Cyber centre were still monitoring the situation. This is something that has been detected, as the ncsc have said, it is an ongoing incident. That is why we have put this a lot out there and why there are mitigations that have been put in place in terms of, for example, organisations having two factor authentication, ensuring all systems a re factor authentication, ensuring all systems are up to date in terms of their Cyber Security. Captain sir tom moore, who raised more than £30 million for Nhs Charities will travel to Windsor Castle today to be knighted by the queen. It will be the first face to face engagement her majesty has carried out with a member of the public since march, and the only honour to be awarded since the beginning of the lockdown. Heres our royal correspondent sarah campbell. Happy birthday to you. It started as a family challenge walk 100 lengths of the garden to mark a 100th birthday, and in the process raise £1,000 for Nhs Charities. The uk and much of the world was in lockdown at the time and as the former Army Captains story spread, it became clear that his understated manner and wise words were what people needed to hear. The donations kept coming and coming. By the time he celebrated his birthday, the total had topped £30 million. He received an estimated 140,000 cards from around the world, an raf fly past, and, it was subsequently announced, a knighthood. His response was typically modest. Im still tom moore. I think sir thomas sounds very nice, but inside i havent changed nothings changed inside. Today, he and his family will travel here, to the quadrangle inside Windsor Castle, where the queens birthday parade was held last month. All investitures have been on hold during the pandemic, but for captain sir tom, the queen has made an exception. I could never have imagined this would happen to me, he tweeted earlier this week. Its such a huge honour, and i am very much looking forward to meeting her majesty, the queen. An inspiration to many thousands of people around the world, his will be an exceptional ceremony for an extraordinary man. Sarah campbell, bbc news. Well be speaking to captain sir toms daughter and grandchildrenjust before 9am. We have spoken to them many times during this amazing journey but what a day it will be for the family. Very proud. Haircuts and visits to the pub are privileges that many of us are now able to enjoy again, but for those living in leicester, lockdown life continues. The Health Secretary announced yesterday that measures in the city would be eased later this month. Many businesses remain left out though. Breakfasts tim muffett has more. Yeah release at last. In one part of leicester. The village of glenfield in the outskirts of the city, where a lack of Coronavirus Infections has led to a localised easing of lockdown. It is very emotional. I need to get some normality back in my life. It has been a long four months. No new cases in glenfield, and only 55 cases since the start of lockdown, before lockdown, right the way back in february. So people here do feel a strong sense of injustice. Elsewhere in the city, restrictions in schools and nurseries have also been eased. There will now be a more targeted approach to the closure of nonessential shops according to Health Secretary matt hancock. But pubs and restaurants will remain shut. Bans on gatherings of more than six people will continue. Its very difficult to live in leicester right now. It has really been for so many months now. It is impacting peoples mental health. Trying to keep us safe really, you know, that is what the whole of lockdown has been about. I know it has not been good for the economy but, you know, it is keeping us safe, i think. Protests about leicesters lockdown have taken different forms. Silence. Song. Im locked down in leicester. A partial easing of lockdown might be on the horizon but life in leicester remains more restricted than elsewhere. Free us up, they cant lock us down. Tim muffett, bbc news. Well, as a result of the extended lockdown, ten leicester businesses are now starting legal action against the government to challenge how theyve handled the situation. Were joined now by Barrie Stephen, who owns a chain of hair salons in the area. Firstly, before we talk about the legal action, what has been the effect of the lockdown and the extended lockdown, these particular circumstances affecting you . Obviously devastating and yesterday, again, to learn that we have to wait another two weeks before we can even think about opening our businesses is just truly unbelievable. I speak on behalf of myself and many Business Owners here in leicester who are really struggling, to even think about what it looks like coming back to our businesses and to open. Leicester is might city its where im from, born and bred and very proud of that but right now im not feeling very happy about the city and what is happening. Hence the legal action so can you explain what that is . We have decided to serve the government because we dont feel satisfied with the data, the lack of consultation and the whole process. From the outset, we we re whole process. From the outset, we were offered some grants which were merely a drop in the ocean to start with, and they lasted about a week or two. To find ourselves four months back in this situation, how can that be possible without any further support from our local council and government . To be clear, the legal action is about you seeking compensation of some kind for the extra time that the position at leicester was in . Yes, thats right. Matt hancock and which is we re right. Matt hancock and which is were served yesterday and they have been given seven days to look at this. I wrote to sir Peter Soulsby two weeks ago and i asked him to roll his sleeves up and fight for business in our city and what he would do about it. I dont see much happening in the response. I was referred to the website. We are looking for answers, there is a lack of clarity and there is confusion. There is quite a lot of lies here in leicester i just feel, there is quite a lot of lies here in leicester ijust feel, the eyes of the world are looking at our city and not in a good way. It is negative pr and, you know, people are making a mockery of the city. It is terrible but that the city was struggling previously before this happened and now we find ourselves in this situation, you know, where do we go from here . The government had to answer. Thank you very much and we wish you well in the weeks and we wish you well in the weeks and months that lie ahead. Lets cross now to the mayor of leicester, sir Peter Soulsby. Thank you forjoining us. I dont know if you heard Barrie Stephen talking, he had said he has asked the mayor to roll up his sleeves and he does not see much happening. He says what is needed for businesses in leicester is clarity, support and not negativity, the eyes of the world a re not negativity, the eyes of the world are looking at leicester and its making a mockery of the city. can understand why barrie is so angry and can understand why barrie is so angry and i share his anger put it frankly, it was a political decision. Public Health England did not recommend we should be put into lockdown, it was a political decision that took us into lockdown, that took the tory areas around leicester out of lockdown yesterday and ultimately it will be politicians who decide when we come out. Didnt the rate of infection come up . Is this not preventative . No. , we finally managed, after weeks of asking for it, to get some data about the level of infection in different parts of leicester put it came through wednesday before last and we have been analysing it. It is now very clear that the infection rates are high in about 10 of the city and i have said to the secretary of state that that is the 10 we should be focusing on, not the sledgehammer to crack the whole city. A Government Spokesperson has said that, seeing that cases in leicester were significantly higher than other parts of the country, we make no apology for working with leicester leaders to take Decisive Action to reverse this trend and save lives. The government priority is to protect the public which is right local partners in leicester have been able to access Government Health data from the 19th ofjune. Is that your understanding . No, of course its not. We got the positive and negative test wednesday before last and that is the first time we have been able to analyse which parts of leicester a re have been able to analyse which parts of leicester are affected by the virus, and there are some parts that need our attention but they needed it weeks ago. Now we need to be focusing on those parts and working with those communities and streets and neighbourhoods, those families, working with them to combat the virus in their area, not across the whole of leicester and certainly not across an area that is divided from the county around it because of the way they voted at the last election. Have you been given any information as to how long this will last or what needs to change in terms of the infection rates . No. There is no objective assessment as to what would constitute success for this lockdown. It was a political decision that took us out, and a political decision yesterday that removed the lockdown in the tory voting areas and it will be a political decision that takes us out. I dont understand, when i read that that seven day infection rate in leicester was 135 cases per 100,000 people when lockdown was put in at the end of last month, three times higher than the next highest city. Is there not a duty on your pa rt city. Is there not a duty on your part to also be mindful of the Health Implications of this and the reasons behind it . Of course it is and im desperately concerned about that 10 of the city where the virus is atan that 10 of the city where the virus is at an unacceptable level but the fa ct is at an unacceptable level but the fact is that the so called seven day rate does not tell you anything. Tells you is the percentage of positive tests we have been getting for about ten days, and that is what we needed to know weeks ago it would have enabled us to focus on those areas where the real problem is rather than take this sledgehammer to crack the whole city. With the result of a test you have had recently, how do they compare, the percentage rates, to surrounding areas . They are higher. In that 10 of the city where the results are coming through with high levels of positivity, we have about 20 of those tests coming through positive which is far too high and that is where we should be focusing and should have been focusing weeks ago if only the government had trusted us if only the government had trusted us with the information they had. Sir Peter Soulsby, thank you for joining us. It is 17 minutes past eight on friday monica pulled a perfect time to whisk you away to cornwall friday morning. We have a leading man at the theatre made to take the stage look at that john maguire is about to set foot on stage for us. That is the nicest introduction you have ever given me not treading the boards at the my neck theatre, treading on stone and concrete it was hewn out of the cliffs in West Cornwall and has been closed in common with every other attraction for so long but recently, because it is open air, it has been able to reopen and they will try to catch up on the schedule, with the Company Based here going through the paces of Hetty Feather which was the play that was cancelled. I will interrupt you for two seconds. What have the last couple of months been like for you as an actor . I havent been acting i have been at home, like most people. And how are you going to go forward . Will you do bubbles when you are within a Theatre Company . Luckily, i do quite a lot of solo theatre work so i have a family show i do hear. Thank goodness outdoor theatre is now allowed so i have been performing here on my own i didnt need to worry about bubbles and things like that. Not so on your own because there will be an audience. Carry on, guys. It is an extraordinary location, hewn out of the rocks next to Porthcurno Bay and the view is stunning. You get the performance and also their view when you come here put it very challenging time for the Tourism Business with the pandemic still around us so how our business is coping and how are some of these terms coping with this sudden influx of tourists . We will ta ke sudden influx of tourists . We will take you on a flight via our camera across to st ives to find out how businesses are coping there. Theres sand, sun and surf, as you would expect from a st ives summer, but social distancing means its far from business as usual. Challenging times for all who are trying to work within the restrictions. In terms of the tourists who are coming, its reminding them to be respectful of how we are here, come and enjoy it, we will help you enjoy it, but if we have anti social behaviour, then we will issue dispersal notices but thats a last resort thats not our style here because we want you to have a good time and relax, and go home safely. A welcome return, but serving so many visitors all at once isnt easy. We have gone from having the place to ourselves to it being completely packed, as usual, however, of course, all the restaurants and shops can take half capacity, some people havent gone back to work, so theres still quite a big issue for the future of st ives, and the future of some of our local shops and businesses who are going to still struggle, although people thank goodness are now here. Cornwall is famous for its sardines the fish of course, not the game but you wouldnt know it today. When lockdown was in full effect, people here warned visitors to stay away, promising that when the situation improved, they would be welcomed back with open arms, and thats happening in spades. Doom bar was created by a mermaid and she was swimming around until a fisherman came in from sea one day and saw herswimming. He hadnt caught any fish so he tried to catch her with a harpoon and she was so upset she created the doom bar. The pandemic has broad challenges but also opportunities for change. Andys camerons boat and surf School Company in North Cornwall has reinvented its Business Model. Probably one of the real positives of the whole covid issues down in cornwall is a lot of the businesses have started working together that would have traditionally been competitors. So for the boat businesses in padstow, we now have an email group working out how we can not be on the pontoons at the same time to allow separation between the passengers. And again the same on the beaches, we work with one of the big surf schools which is close to our surf school, the two big operators and how best to work in the water together. Padstow is synonymous with rick stein. His businesses employ 600 people in the area. The Cookery School has been converted into a pop up restaurant. His son, jack, tells me how hard closing the doors has been. If you had offered us to open first week ofjuly, when we went into lockdown, we would have said that would be great because we are a seasonal business. This Summer Season will save us, there is no doubt if we had missed out on this revenue, i think we as a company, 45 years old restaurant company, we would likely be not trading next year, simple as. Change to survive is the mantra here. Emmas cafe is around the cornerfrom one her grandfather used to run. She was brought up in new zealand but is now back in padstow and adapting her business to cope with coronavirus. We normally cram people in like sardines, really, so it was a tough decision but we decided forjuly and august, wed go takeaway onlyjust to deal with the social distancing. We cant cram people in like we normally did and with only six tables, it really isnt worth it so weve done takeaway. Weve created a whole new frontage, and it is going really well. Living on a peninsula jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean requires a good deal of resilience, and never has that been more severely tested than now. John maguire, bbc news, cornwall. Via the magic of television, we have flown all the way back to porthcurno and the sun is coming up, i can see some seals in the sea. Ben sutcliffe is playing the violin for us. Can you talk and play at the same time . You have not been working, when was the last time you worked . About three months ago. And you have got something coming up here . My band are playing this coming monday. And concerned at all from your perspective about how you carry on doing yourjob in the pandemic . There are very limited places musicians can play at the moment, outdoor venues like theatres like the beautiful minack, and busking but even that is difficult because not many people are around in towns and there was not much change about. Thank you very much. You will hear more from you later ponder how do you throw a credit card into the hat ever busker . Malcolm is from to visit cornwall and zoe is the executive director here. You are back, how can you cope from now on and can you catch up with the nights you have missed and business you have missed . We have been closed for three months and have lost over half of our performances and cancelled all the shows we had previously programmed this years and moved most to next year. They had too many people in the cast to be socially distance i would not be financially viable with reduced audiences. But we are back at a theatre, we have had shows this week and as ben has said, from monday we are starting a bigger season with music every monday and a lot of exciting theatre to look forward to. And big show and big names coming . We have, a couple of weeks of small shows and then tie stones in his pocket featuring one of ourart is stones in his pocket featuring one of our art is here and then we have willy russells educating rita coming here in august and we are so fantastic, Stephen Thompson and Jessica Johnson are playing that and it will be amazing. Malcolm, we have known each other a long time we met during the foot and mouth crisis. This is obsolete not that into a cocked hat. It looks like a minor problem looking back it is a big issue economically and socially. And do things need to change . What can visitors do to help . Many people will love this part of the world, as they will anywhere around the uk but can they change their behaviour to help people . I think the main message is to think ahead and plan ahead but constantly remember at the social distancing. It is great to go on holiday but you dont want to revert and forget what people have been doing at home for the last three months put it we welcome you and we can be saved together but the main thing is the social distancing. We always say the Tourism Industry cove rs we always say the Tourism Industry covers its costs in the School Holidays and the shoulder months where the profit is, one of those had disappeared so can you extend the season . We have already lost £700 million punt we hope we can extend and we have plans going right the way from october into march about themed days in the week. For all those people who might have stayed away because it was too busy, if you can come in the autumn, the sea is spectacular, to go and look at the arts and culture and heritage, a lot to do through the winter. One of the things that is happening now is the supply and demand is so out of kilter so how do we reconcile those factors . It is and at the moment, reduced capacity as well. Cant even have two normal trading months but there are all these people who have been denied their spring break, staying away from the summer, maybe a bit great like me and getting on a bit for that autumn period and next spring, it will be wonderful to come down here and thats what we hope to pick up here and thats what we hope to pick up but also to deliver a wonderful experience for those who want to come it is quieter so we can maybe get the holy grail are getting more visitors out of season. Thank you very much. Good to see you all and thank you to everybody here at the minack. Ben can play us out this morning. Perhaps sunny days ahead for cornwall and the businesses here and look at some just rising behind logan rock there. Quite an incredible location. Come if you have, maybe not now but later on in the season. It is a wonderful place, thank you, and that shop from the drone looking inland is very dramatic. Music fits with the haze perfectly. What a lovely thing to see. Today is a big day for captain sir tom moore. Hell receive his knighthood from the queen in his own personal ceremony later. Well speak to his family in the next half hour. Now lets get the weather with nick. We have had a little glimpse this morning, we have been in london and looking atjohn down there with that, friday morning, you know its going to get nicer, it is lovely when its like that . Absolutely and there was a big range of weather across the uk, looking clearer in parts of the midlands, Northern England and wales at the moment. If you look at the latest cloud and rain picture, this is the lions share of the early sunshine. Hazy in the south west, some low cloud so misty and foggy in places but that will clear away is more active weather comes into Northern Ireland and scotland. There was cloud and rainfor and scotland. There was cloud and rain for some to start the day put up rain for some to start the day put up this front coming in is only slowly going to move south across the uk, so slowly that it will still be around parts of south east england early on sunday morning. This is how things are shaping up this morning, northern scotland will brighten up after a wet start but you can see the rain clinging on to parts of southern scotland, Northern England and parts of Northern Ireland even into the afternoon. A more fresh feeling behind the front with sunny spells in northern scotland. To the south of it, where we get some sunshine, looking like a very we get some sunshine, looking like a very warm we get some sunshine, looking like a very warm day particularly in south east england but it is also really quite humid as well. For the cricket, it looks like the rain from the weather will stay to the north of old trafford for much of the day, later this evening there might be some rain heading in and it looks like rain will play a part in things tomorrow. This evening and tonight, still parts of southern scotland, Northern Ireland initially but more so Northern England and wales over night get the rain, parts of the midlands as well later in the night. Clear spells in Northern Ireland and scotla nd clear spells in Northern Ireland and scotland so a cooler night but still warm and quite muggy in the south of the front put it here it is again, still slowly moving south tomorrow. Paint dries quicker than this front is moving there are three zones of weather. In scotland and Northern Ireland, sunny spells, one of two showers, blustery in north west scotland. The front with the cloud and rain at times for wales, the midlands and parts of Northern England, but much of southern england, but much of southern england and east anglia still have some sunny spells, albeit hazy and not quite as warm as today. Eventually, that front reaches southern england overnight into sunday morning with some heavier bursts of rain for a time. And a bit ofa bursts of rain for a time. And a bit of a change to the forecast, cooler air following the front, that is still part of the focus but the change is that the rain might linger into parts of south east england into parts of south east england into sunday morning so we need to watch the timing of clearance here. Evenif watch the timing of clearance here. Even if the rain clears, there might be some cloud behind it whereas elsewhere on sunday, sunny spells, the odd shower in northern scotland, a cold front moving southward so cooler air coming but still on sunday there are some sunny spells. That is that we can forecast. Hello, this is breakfast with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. Russia has dismissed allegations that it has attempted to steal research into a Coronavirus Vaccine, and meddled in last years general election. The uk, the United States and canada say hackers in russia have targeted various organisations trying to find a vaccine. Lets speak now to our diplomatic correspondent, james landale. Good morning. We were speaking to security ministerJames Brokenshire a short time ago and one thing we learned is that this is an ongoing situation. Yes, if you can imagine Intelligence Services around the world a re Intelligence Services around the world are all on the alert and have been pretty much since the pandemic began and the search for a vaccine began and the search for a vaccine began because they knew this kind of hacking attempt would be made. As the minister made clear, its still an ongoing operation. If you think about it, what youre dealing with here is laboratories, universities and Research Centres and think tanks, which traditionally have not been that secure because they havent really been targets before. Now they are and so Security Services have placed layer of protection. What we have seen yesterday, and the warnings today, isa yesterday, and the warnings today, is a very clear warning shot across russias bowers. But also other potential states and hostile actors in the world to say, if you try to do this thing, you will be called out. Russias bows. Do this thing, you will be called out. Russias bows. And we have had a flat denial from russia. Thats what happens in these events. Whenever they try to do it, we have seenin whenever they try to do it, we have seen in the past they have tried to hack into the uk nhs and into energy systems, they issue a flat denial, in the way they did with the skripal case. The real question is what action do they take, notjust their words. To what end would russians be attempting to break into and get information in relation to the vaccine . Probably the most valuable piece of intellectual property in the world today is a vaccine for covid. And the first country that can get it cannot only start to treat its citizens first but can also win geopolitical bragging rights. For the russian state to be able to say, we have the vaccine first, will be a huge diplomatic coup for it, and so the expectation is they are trying to get as much data as they possibly can to get ahead in the race, or at least maintain stability with others. Basically there are scientists all over the world alljockeying forward and there is a race on to see who can get the vaccine first. They were trying to steal as much data as they could to help the russian cause. One thing often absent in some of these situations and has been in relation to russia in allegations before, is the definitive, the absolute proof that this has come from one place and one organisation. Although there has been attribution here and quite a lot of evidence, how close are we to be able to saying we know for certain, or the government knows for certain, or the government knows for certain, they know who and where it has come from . Looking at the gradation of certainty. We had two revelations yesterday, the first that the russians were trying to hack vaccine intelligence, but also they made an alleged attempt to interfere into last years general election. On that the government said it is almost certain there was a russian interference by russian actors. On the vaccine hacking, foreign secretary dominic raab was explicit yesterday in naming and blaming russian intelligence. On that point, the british, americans and canadians were explicit in naming russian intelligence specifically which means they would be pretty sure of their facts before they would go as far as saying that. James landale, thank you for that. Reporting on those claims from the British Government that there have been packs and we are hearing this morning that that is an ongoing situation, those attempts that they believe from russian interference in trying to get information on the vaccine for covid 19 and the work thatis vaccine for covid 19 and the work that is going on in the uk tourist atractions that rely on foreign visitors are really suffering at the moment. Bens finding out more. Hes at the tower of london this morning. A stunning place, i imagine its really peaceful at the moment but thats not necessarily good for business. Good morning to you both. I feel so lucky to be down here this morning, the most glorious views and the most glorious morning. Im here in the tower of london with the city of london behind me, some of the newest buildings from one of the old est newest buildings from one of the oldest buildings in the capital. The white tower is behind me, built in 1078. Tourist attractions are suffering of late and thats because Foreign Tourists are simply not coming. We know why, the logistics associated with coronavirus and airports are shut for example. This place would normally have around 15,000 tourists on an average summer day. Right now they are getting around 500. Looking down here, the ravens are being released this morning. They are in cages, but they really do rule the roost this morning, letting down to roam free around the tower of london. The legend has it that if the ravens leave here then that crumbles and the kingdom falls. Its all part of the kingdom falls. Its all part of the mystique that brings tourists from all over the world. Andrew is the governor here at the tower of london and its hisjob the governor here at the tower of london and its his job to get them here but its pretty tough right now with tourist numbers falling and you need people to come from overseas. Youre absolutely right. Normally on a summerday like youre absolutely right. Normally on a summer day like this we would have between 10000 and 15,000 visitors but we predict no more than around 700 per day and we are not hitting thatjust yet. We 700 per day and we are not hitting that just yet. We are utterly dependent on visitors to keep the charity going and we are dependent on the 70 of those who come from overseas. You need that money all year round but clearly you make most of it in summer because somewhere like this costs a lot of money to run. Absolutely, we have the cost of keeping the buildings in the amazing condition they are, the cost of staff and other running costs. We need that money coming in all year round. That visitor business peaks in easterand in round. That visitor business peaks in easter and in the summer but we are here all year round. We are in july are here all year round. We are in july with a bit of the summer left and autumn is also really important so do you expect to get people back in those months . Its a lean period at the moment and we predict a lean period to the end of the Financial Year next march. That means we get around 400,500 people, year next march. That means we get around 400, 500 people, perhaps 600 at the weekend, but we need people to visit. There is no better time really to see the tower without the usual crowds so its a call to arms for londoners in particular and anyone who can get into london easily. If people are worried about coming out, i know you have made changes to make it safe for people. We were looking at some of the narrow corridors and doorways. You will see lots of hand sanitiser all over the place. We have a one way route in place so people feel safe as they move around with plenty of signage. We have booking ahead online so we are encouraging as many people as possible to do that but if you forget you can still get in. Rather peculiar in that you actually live here, you work and live here with some of the other staff. Talk to me about that because you have had four months of lockdown in the tower of london so what have you been doing . Anybody who works he has the bestjob in london and in the uk. Its even better that we get to live here. Around 125 live here on a routine basis. We normally close only three days in the year, so all ofa only three days in the year, so all of a sudden to find that period extending into uncertainty and then lasting months, it was novel to start with but quickly became a bit dull. We thrive on visitors, this place comes alive with visitors. Good luck with it, a hugejob ahead but im sure you will bounce back. Thank you, andrew. Whats really interesting, everyone has to get used to visitors coming back, so the ravens who are out now are also getting used to visitors being on site and all the staff working here every day, welcoming people back but making sure they can do so safely. It underlines the challenge for all sorts of tourist businesses and all the associated things like the bars and the associated things like the bars a nd restau ra nts the associated things like the bars and restaurants and hotels that rely on the tourist trade. Nonetheless, on the tourist trade. Nonetheless, ona on the tourist trade. Nonetheless, on a morning like this you can see why the world would want to come here. See you soon. It has been beautiful looking around there this morning. Thank you. More than 3 Million People make up the british south asian community, but how much do we really know about the diversity of britain . There is a new project to celebrate the history starting. Starting tomorrow, south Asian Heritage month hopes to explore the links between the uk and the subcontinent. To kick it off poet Hussain Manawer has written a special piece. Were joined now by presenter anita rani and dr binita kane, who were both involved with the founding of south Asian Heritage month. Good morning to you both. Good morning your bubbly, arent you . I cant tell you how my heart swelled hearing that go out on the bbc breakfast. It has been such a labour of love. That brilliant poem and the music as well was original. My cousin shot it and i sat with her in the edit so to finally have it go out to launch south Asian Heritage month feels very good. Anita, why do think this needed . Its about ownership of storytelling will stop there are 3 million of us living here and this is about owning our narrative and telling our stories. I made my who do you think you are and it was a great experience a few years ago, and we talked about partition. The overwhelming story was, how come we dont know this story. It baffles me that we know so much about the empire and imperialism but there is so much of it we dont know and its usually the dark stuff we dont know. We are a Huge Community here, making up a beautiful, diverse landscape of this gorgeous island we live on. This is our home and Everybody Needs to know who we are, why we are here and Everybody Needs to understand its about that knowledge, education and celebration. Its not just about that knowledge, education and celebration. Its notjust about looking to the past and talking about history, its about talking about history, its about talking about our identity as a specifically british and asian and that is unique and wonderful and multifaceted. For that reason, and alsojust to and wonderful and multifaceted. For that reason, and also just to learn how to cook a curry and do other wonderful things as well. To be honest i cant believe we havent had it for years already and its long overdue. Good morning to doctor kane. First and foremost, you are a long doctor, thats your line of work. I suspect your time has been preoccupied with other things just recently. It certainly has. The pandemic has definitely thrown a curve ball pandemic has definitely thrown a curveball at the campaign but we have repurposed it very quickly to relaunch online over the last six weeks and the response we have had from the public has been absolutely immense and we are so excited about the programme. Anita was talking about some of the wider issues and why its so important to have more knowledge and people learning more. But there is a crossover with the bame community and the pandemic and the risks. And that becomes part of the risks. And that becomes part of the story as well. Absolutely. I think what the pandemic has done, it has thrown open a lot of issues, laid issues on the table and laid them bare. Its a real moment in time whenl them bare. Its a real moment in time when i think we need to do some soul searching and ask ourselves why this has happened and we need to look into it to understand the reasons. All of that is part of what we are trying to create, a space for south asian people to really own their narrative, as anita said, and create space for us to discuss these issues. Which areas particularly . Its a wonderful phrasing, the learning curve, but what particular for you where the areas of learning . Itook for you where the areas of learning . I took part in anitas bbc documentary, my family, the partition. I had the Incredible Opportunity to be the first person in 70 years to go back to the place where my ancestors and my family came from. They had to flee around the violence of partition and fell into hard times. They became refugees, my grandfather died. I came back from this experience feeling like i had been walking through life with my eyes closed. I then realised, have i had my eyes closed or has nobody told me my history is important. I felt that something has to change because there are hundreds of thousands of young people in this country who dont understand where they come from and people dont understand why our country is so beautifully diverse and all of our stories weave themselves into that. Anita, you will be very aware of the black lives matter protests and movement. What has happened of late that is so important is that questions are being asked and there is a space for anybody to feel they can ask questions, however lacking in knowledge they feel they are, and also for those being asked to allow that space and to offer the information without fear as well. Thats so important now, isnt it . Absolutely. If anything is going to change we need that space to have dialogue and conversation. And curiosity and they want to understand rather than just living in this fear of what people will say. Just ask, pick up a book or follow someone on social media. Get involved with south Asian Heritage month. We have a duty to know, who are your neighbours and who are the people who live here . The history is interconnected, we are here because of colonialism and there are so many stories, but we are here and we have unique identities now. Its absolutely about understanding, knowledge and education and we all have the responsibility to take it upon ourselves to open our eyes and horizons a bit more. What is obvious is the delight from both of you, good luck with it to both of you and thank you for telling us about it. Its the first night of the proms tonight, and things are going to be rather different with the Royal Albert Hall closed for audiences for the First Time Since the blitz. It will kick off with a recorded performance by musicians followed by some of the musical highlights from previous years. Heres our entertainment correspondent colin paterson. The 125th anniversary of the proms, and they never looked or sounded quite like this. No live concerts for the first six weeks, instead, the opening performance tonight on radio 3 is a special commission recorded during lockdown. 323 bbc musicians in their own homes combined to mark beethovens 250th birthday. They are playing a mash up of his nine symphonies. Accompanied by two dancers, who are in a beethoven bubble. Ian farrington was chosen to create the piece. There is an entire season, an entire proms season that has had to be replaced. So, yeah, its a wonderful honour but not one that i was expecting to do. And, um, i have made the most of it and its something i have enjoyed writing hugely and something that i hope captures a lot of the celebratory spirit of the proms. And the whole piece, including a nod to saturday night fever will be shown on sunday night on bbc four. From then until the august bank holiday weekend, the proms will feature reruns of archive performances. But for the final two weeks, a return to the Royal Albert Hall and Live Performances from the likes of Sheku Kanneh Mason and nicola benedetti. For the orchestral pieces, it is not clear how many musicians will be allowed on stage. So four different programmes have be planned for each concert. And as for the last night of the proms, its unclear if the public will even be allowed in, singing along to land of hope and glory. At the moment, the audience can just hope. Colin paterson, bbc news. Really nice to see those images of what has happened previously. And the music is so rousing. Hopefully you can create your own atmosphere when you watch. As youve heard this morning, captain sir tom moore will receive his knighthood from the queen today, and months after he began his Fundraising Efforts, he continues to inspire others to do the same. We will hear from his family in a couple of minutes. Turning to who he has inspired. Maureen lightbody, from groomsport in county down, turned 95 yesterday. Congratulations for yesterday shes walked a thousand steps each day since the beginning of lockdown, raising almost £13,000 for charity. Our Northern Ireland correspondent chris page has been to meet her. This is the last lockdown lap for maureen lightbody. On her 95th birthday, she is, for the 95th time, walking a roman mile thats 1,000 paces. The venue for the strolling and striding has been the Playing Field next to her home. And every single one of the last 95 days, youve been doing this walk. Ive been doing this walk, this one way, for 95 days. The weather has been so kind to me, thats what was so good. And the completion of the challenge called for a socially distanced celebration. Little did i think that first step i took, this would happen shes just short of the fundraising target of £15,000 that is going to cancer care in memory of her husband, george, who died of the disease 33 years ago. Maureen and fundraisers like her are making sure that cancer is not the forgotten c in this pandemic. We think maureen is absolutely amazing, shes been so motivated throughout this challenge. The original motivation for maureen came from watching the walk of someone else from her generation. It came from captain, sir captain tom, because when i saw him, and then my granddaughter in england said, when she rang she said, gran, your generation is great, the things you can do, and i thought, what can i do . And i came away and thought about it but it was the 95 that made it, 95 days for 95 miles for 95 years. Itjust seemed to make a pattern so when i set it up, it was just meant to be. Like captain sir tom, maureen served in the second world war. At 18 she joined the womens royal naval service, the wrens, in the nearby town of bangor which was a major base for battleships. I trained to be a bs signaler, and every ship that comes in the lough, had to sign in with a code, and then we would answer in a code. Newsreel the yanks are coming with a vengeance. It was a buzz, all the american ships in, the big ones went off on d day, the arkansas, texas and nevada, massive ships, there were 30,000 or something american troops. Unbelievable. For her 21st century endeavours, maureen received this message of encouragement. On behalf of captain tom and the entire family, congratulations on the amazing walking youve been doing. So maureen, its another big day for captain tom moore, he is receiving his knighthood. Do you have anything to say to him . I have congratulations sir captain tom, im delighted for you, im very proud of you and you are my inspiration, and im five years younger and i thought, if you can do it, i can do it, and im delighted with the result that i have got, and your result. From one veteran to another, goodwill and generosity are spreading. All sing happy birthday dear maureen, happy birthday to you. Chris page, bbc news in groomsport, county down. What a lovely day for maureen. And so interesting to hear her talk about captain sirtom. So interesting to hear her talk about captain sir tom. And that knighthood taking place at Windsor Castle today. Joining is now is his daughter hannah and grandchildren georgia and benjie, you have done this so many times so you are lined up perfectly now. What will happen, hannah . you are lined up perfectly now. What will happen, hannah . I will start and the kids willjump in im sure its a sensational day, all the things that tom is being honoured for, this is the icing on the cake. There is a flurry of activity here this morning was that we cant get dressed too early. Tom is already getting photographed so he is on camera butjust getting photographed so he is on camera but just not getting photographed so he is on camera butjust not this one. And then we will take a leisurely pace down to windsor today, no falling or tripping. We have a fairly regimented day ahead of us. I believe this is the first individual investor chair, im not entirely sure but i think so, so i think protocol is being written as we speak and we will simply do as we are told. Always a good thing to do as you are told how excited are you two about this, georgia and benjie. And its the first time the queen has done this sort of ceremony in person since lockdown. Its a special day for the entire family andl special day for the entire family and i have to say thank you to everyone who has supported us. We wouldnt be in this situation without everyone on the other side of the camera so from our family, thank you for putting us in the situation. We are so proud of him and im so excited for this day. And hannah, have you decided what he will wear yet . Im still in trauma royal commentator Dickie Arbiter is with us as well. For this to be the first public personal engagement for the queen since lockdown, it had to be significant and its something we know she has taken an interest in. Its very significant. Given the birthday honours have been shelved until the autumn, so there are no investiture is, the fact tom received his knighthood early in may, this is an opportunity for the queen to meet the great man face to face and acknowledge his achievement, raising just under £33 million for the nhs. Thats no mean achievement in anybodys book, but to do it at 100 is an amazing achievement. This is the queen acknowledging, today tom will meet the queen, she will tap him on each shoulder using king george vis sword. Its a bit like you have allowed the nation to be pa rt you have allowed the nation to be part of the story. Its a wonderful day, but we are kind of thing on it from the outside. But this is your familys story. This is personalfor you. Do you think you will get time in amongst what will be a lot of attention to have your own moment within the family . I think so, but we willingly shared that story. 15 weeks ago. Of course we never expected the outcome that we have today but we shared it and we continue to share it and we willingly and gladly share it because we still remain utterly humbled as a family. We are just a regular, ordinary family doing the best we can to make sure that tom is supported in his endeavours. And we wa nt to supported in his endeavours. And we want to share it. This is the public story. Dickie arbiter, just a word on the queen, because she is absolutely making clear that she is seen as much as possible. She has taken on this reassuring role as head of state. She has. She has always said she needs to be seen to be believed and today she will be seen. The last time we saw her physically in person was the middle ofjune in the alternative trooping the colour at Windsor Castle. We saw her twice with coronavirus speeches on april the 5th and again with the ve day speech in may. To see the queen in person, this is a step in the right direction and hopefully a step back to a new normality, but it will be a very slow steps and this is very significant in that she is investing sir tom with his insignia, meeting the family and sharing a few moments with him, as everybody else would like to do. Really nice to talk to you this morning. And our last thoughts with the family, will you pass on, and im sure you will checkin you pass on, and im sure you will check in with tom, so im sure it will be a fantastic day so please pass on our best wishes. And make sure you enjoy it. Thats all from us this morning. Breakfast will be back tomorrow from 6 00am tomorrow. Well leave you now with these beautiful images live from porthcurno in cornwall. This is bbc news with the latest headlines. The nhs in england is to get £3 billion of extra funding to help
